“Alright, let me dig in then.” After saying this, Zhang Fuguang picked up his chopsticks, grabbed a slice of meat and some cabbage, and put them into his mouth.

The recipe for this boiled meat dish was naturally taught to the Yan family’s chef by Li Changqing. Originally, this dish was not available in the Yan family’s restaurant. If Zhang Fuguang found it to be in line with the taste of the Great Yuan Dynasty, he could certainly promote it.

“Delicious!” A look of surprise suddenly appeared on Zhang Fuguang’s face. This was the first time Li Changqing had seen any expression on Zhang Fuguang’s face.

It was clear that Zhang Fuguang really liked this dish. The meat was tender and spicy, and the sweetness of the cabbage complemented it perfectly.

Upon tasting it, there was even a hint of warmth. Accustomed to eating spicy food, Zhang Fuguang felt a sense of being in the Great Yuan Dynasty when he tasted this dish.

Zhang Fuguang took another bite, the taste was so delicious that it seemed to seep into his bones.

This was much tastier than the simple roasted meat of the Great Yuan Dynasty. There were stir-fried dishes in the restaurants of the Great Yuan Dynasty, but they were rare. The weather there was cold, and most people chose a more convenient way to eat food.

Either it was roasted or boiled, it was basically difficult to make such a complex dish. Who would want to wait for such a complicated dish when they were hungry and cold?

Naturally, they would eat whatever food was available quickly.

“Do you think it suits the taste of the Great Yuan Dynasty?” Li Changqing asked with a smile.

“Yes, I think everyone would like it. It’s even better than the dishes in our Great Yuan Dynasty.” Zhang Fuguang nodded as he spoke.

Zhang Siyao, who was sitting next to them, also became curious and took a bite. Although Zhang Siyao was only five years old, she was born and raised in the Great Yuan Dynasty and had a certain tolerance for spicy food.

The moment she tasted it, her eyes lit up. She found it really delicious, better than any dish she had eaten before.

She liked it very much.

“Do you plan to do business in our Great Yuan Dynasty?” Zhang Fuguang asked curiously.

“I have such an idea.” Li Changqing did not hide it. Zhang Fuguang nodded, but did not say anything.

He didn’t understand business. All he needed to do was clean the courtyard every day. At night, Li Changqing went back to his room.

The courtyard was cleaned up, with soft cushions and quilts laid out. Zhang Siyao also went to sleep. For many days, this five-year-old child had been sleeping with her father in the wild, on haystacks, leaves, and in caves, all hard and cold.

Where had she ever slept so comfortably? So as soon as she lay down, Zhang Siyao’s breathing became even, and the expression on her face became very peaceful.

Seeing his daughter’s expression, a hint of tenderness appeared on Zhang Fuguang’s rigid face. After putting his daughter to sleep, Zhang Fuguang went out to clean up the courtyard again, then brought some meat and bones to feed Fei.

Fei was quite familiar with him, and had no resistance to this man who fed him. However, it was unthinkable to Li Changqing that a Divine Soul would actually like to eat meat and bones.

Did the Golden Silk Linlang Beast really consider itself a dog? After everything was cleaned up, he also went to sleep. Li Changqing had been watching this father and daughter with his Divine Soul, and after seeing that there was nothing suspicious, he finally fell asleep.

The next morning, when Li Changqing woke up, Zhang Fuguang was already cleaning the courtyard.

“Sir, someone came to see you this morning, but you were still asleep, so I asked them to wait in the side hall.” Zhang Fuguang came over and said.

“I see.” Li Changqing went over and saw that the visitors were Bai Jingfei and Zhao Yiqiu. The two of them saw Li Changqing coming and quickly stood up respectfully: “Mr. Changqing.” Li Changqing still liked this form of address, and did not like being called a senior or something like that.

“Sit down.” He asked the two to sit down. Bai Jingfei then said: “Mr. Changqing, we are now fully prepared. Our Changqing Trading Company’s shop in Path Mark City has also been decorated, everything is ready. Also, according to your instructions, all our people are already in Path Mark City.” Zhao Yiqiu immediately reported: “We wonder when you plan to have the Changqing Trading Company open for business?”

“What are we waiting for? Since everything is ready, we can open for business as soon as possible.” Li Changqing didn’t like to drag things out. Once everything was ready, they could open for business.

“Great!” The two of them quickly agreed. Not only them, but all the big and small families in Changting Town were eagerly waiting for the opening of their Changqing Trading Company.

After all, they had invested a large sum of money in it. Not only that, but the manpower in Changting Town was also largely depleted.

The Changqing Trading Company had employed a large number of people, causing their industries in Changting Town to start recruiting workers.

As for the president of the Changqing Trading Company in Path Mark City, it was held by Yan Botao. Zhao Yiqiu and Bai Jingfei served as vice presidents.

The shopkeeper of the trading company was also from the Yan family, a senior member of the family, and people from other families also served in the trading company.

At present, the trading company was just waiting to open. Since Li Changqing had spoken, the trading company would open directly!

So, the next day, a very lively scene took place in Path Mark City. A large trading company opened.

This attracted the attention of the entire Path Mark City. As the largest city in Minghong Prefecture, Path Mark City was very bustling.

Moreover, Path Mark City was not far from Changting Town, and it was less than a day’s carriage ride.

When this place was being decorated before, many businesses were curious about what the person who bought this place was going to do.Today was the grand opening, and to everyone’s surprise, it was a trading company. The fact that it was a trading company opening its doors was a shock to many.

The competition among trading companies was fierce. Small trading companies struggled to survive, barely covering their daily expenses and making a little extra for pocket money was already considered a good situation.

In the past, there were people who had tried to open large trading companies in Path Mark City. However, they couldn’t even last half a year before they went bankrupt.

In the eyes of many, Changqing Trading Company would follow the same fate, inevitably heading towards bankruptcy.

With the presence of Yunling Trading Company and Minghai Trading Company, two dominant forces, there was no room for other large trading companies.

Many people were curious to see how long this trading company could last, one month or two? The grand opening of the trading company was bustling, and the staff came out to welcome everyone to shop inside.

However, while there were many onlookers, not many actually entered the trading company. Most of the spectators were there because they heard that someone was bold enough to open a trading company in Path Mark City, and they wanted to see just how audacious this person was.

Those who had been shopping in Path Mark City for a long time were accustomed to the presence of Minghai Trading Company or Yunling Trading Company, they were loyal customers, why would they switch to another trading company?

Most of the people who entered were just curious. As a trading company, retail sales were just a small part of the business, the real money was in large contracts and orders.

Getting orders from Path Mark City was as difficult as climbing to the sky. Seeing that not many people were coming in, the heads of some small families in Changting Town who were present began to worry.

However, the head of Changqing Trading Company was Yan Leisheng from the Yan family. Although Yan Leisheng was an elder of the Yan family, he had been handling most of the family’s business over the years.

He had a lot of experience, and with the opening of the trading company, he still had a trump card up his sleeve. Li Changqing had said before that if they were only competing with regular goods, unless they were waging a price war and breaking into the market with extremely low prices, they could compete with Minghai Trading Company and Yunling Trading Company.

But they wouldn’t use this strategy of hurting the enemy at the expense of themselves. Although they had raised a lot of funds, it was still far from enough compared to the two major trading companies. Even if they sold all the families in Changting Town, they couldn’t match the financial strength of these two trading companies.

So if they wanted the trading company to stand firm, they had to have something that other trading companies didn’t have.

“Bring it up.” Yan Leisheng waved his hand, and many people came out of the trading company, each holding a large pot filled with various kinds of food.

Each pot contained exquisite dishes. The aroma was so enticing that it stunned the onlookers, who were puzzled.

What was going on? Why were they serving dishes? Was this a trading company opening or a restaurant opening? Everyone looked carefully at the sign, and sure enough, it was Changqing Trading Company, not Changqing Restaurant.

That’s right. But what was going on? However… Looking at the colorful dishes, everyone present couldn’t help but swallow their saliva.

It looked so delicious. They had never seen these dishes before.

“Ladies and gentlemen, these are the special products of our trading company. Today is our grand opening, and we invite you all to taste them.” Yan Leisheng said with a smile.

The dishes had been placed on the table, and many disposable bamboo chopsticks had been prepared.

All the spectators were curious to come up. These dishes were all made by Li Changqing based on dishes that were not available in restaurants.

Although there wasn’t much difference between the food cultures of the two worlds, there were still some differences. The food culture here was relatively backward.

So even if Li Changqing’s cooking skills were not very high, he could still make a lot of delicious dishes. Various cuisines and dishes were enough to give the people of Cangyuan Realm a good lesson.

“Delicious!” Hearing that it was free tasting, someone couldn’t help but try the first bite and immediately exclaimed.

“This soup is so fresh.” Someone tasted a spoonful of pig stomach chicken soup and also praised it. Seeing someone taking the lead, others also came up to taste.

However, even though they enjoyed the food, they were still puzzled. Changqing Trading Company was clearly a trading company, why were they letting them taste the dishes?

Were they planning to open a restaurant as a side business?

“Excuse me, shopkeeper.” A slightly fat dignitary walked up, his head covered with a silk hat, his clothes shiny and luxurious, adorned with gold and silver, clearly a wealthy man.

“Yes?” Yan Leisheng walked up.

“Your food is delicious, even better than the restaurants, but this is a trading company, what are you trying to do? Are you planning to sell this as a product?” The fat man was a little confused.

“Yes, we are selling it as a product.” This statement immediately aroused everyone’s interest. A trading company selling stir-fried dishes, was this a new trend?

And how would they sell this? Seeing the puzzled looks on everyone’s faces, Yan Leisheng didn’t waste any more words, but turned around and said, “Bring it up.” Then someone brought up a box.

Everyone else also crowded around curiously to look at the box. It was square, and they didn’t know what was inside.

Yan Leisheng opened the box, and instantly, a chill seeped out from inside. The box was sealed, surrounded by ice cubes and some cotton. Inside the ice cubes was another wooden box.

Yan Leisheng opened the wooden box, and inside it was a dish. It was braised pork. But this braised pork had obviously been frozen.”What we have here is called pre-prepared food,” Yan Leisheng explained to the crowd. “The box is sealed, and the ice inside can keep the food fresh for five days. You can eat this food whenever you want, just take it out and throw it into the pot to heat it up. It takes about the time it takes to brew half a pot of tea, and I guarantee the taste is the same as freshly made.”

“This saves you the trouble of running to the restaurant. You can eat it at home whenever you want.”

“For example, when the restaurant is closed at night, you can heat up a dish of braised pork at home, warm up some wine, isn’t that wonderful?” Yan Leisheng introduced with a smile.

“Is that even possible?” The crowd was amazed.

“Doesn’t the taste get ruined when it’s frozen like this?” Someone questioned, “Can it really taste as good as freshly made?”

“Sir,” Yan Leisheng asked, “I saw you just ate our chicken in pig’s stomach dish, how did you find the taste?”

“It’s delicious,” the old man nodded repeatedly, “The pig’s stomach is tender, the chicken is plump, and the soup is very savory. I could drink a big bowl by myself.”

“Hehe.”

“What you just ate was our pre-prepared food. Our Changqing Trading Company has an ice cellar. The very savory soup you just drank was stewed five days ago.” Yan Leisheng’s words made everyone who had tasted the soup widen their eyes.

This soup… it’s been five days?
