Chapter 74: The Inner Ghost
After the mysterious man is gone, our lives are still the same.
But after adding the roast duck sign, the business of Dapan Chicken has become more and more prosperous. There is an endless stream of customers, and the appointments for the two boxes are almost half a year later.
Although we are making money every day, we are too busy to touch the ground every day.
Ah Ke counted the money every day until his hands cramped, and Gou Jian Miyamoto was busy dealing with all kinds of troubles. I was a little idle, but the beauties ignored me, and could only drink with the guests depressedly, but I also got to know a lot of dignitaries.
But early in the morning of the third day, Xiao Er ran over and reported: "The shop has been taken down, and it seems that it is also a restaurant." β
The shop was open every day, nothing strange, and I didn't care about it at the time.
Early in the morning of the fifth day, Xiao Er came over and told me, "There is also a chicken shop opposite, named Pan Daji." β
Wipe? Isn't this a naked copycat parody? I can't bear it!
So I took Miyamoto, Ah Ke and Gou Jian to the opposite shop.
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, you feel shameless when you look at it. Even the decoration style and the style of the clerk are very similar! It's just a blatant plagiarism of ideas.
The only difference is that although the beauties selected here are slightly inferior to Yingge and Guang'er, they are scantily dressed, have hot figures, and there are four ...... at once
"Guest, what is needed? Just mention it, and I'm sure everything will satisfy you. One of the beauties rubbed Miyamoto and said.
Miyamoto was expressionless and even took out his sword.
I felt a little embarrassed, but the beauty still rubbed Gou Jian again: "Handsome guy, do you think I'm still satisfied?" β
Gou Jian glanced at her and said disdainfully: "Compared with my goddess, it's far worse!" β
In the end, she could only look at me.
Ah Ke is next to him, this is obviously a proposition!
"No, I'm not interested in you!"
The beauty pouted angrily, stamped her feet and walked away: "None of them are men!" β
finally changed into a unified outfit, and the cool little two came up to greet him: "A few guest officers, what are you eating?" β
I thought for a moment, "What's your sign?" β
"Naturally, the three dragons are playing with pearls and the two are spreading their wings! And you don't need to make a reservation, you can supply it at any time! β
We......
"What price?"
"The Three Dragons and the Phoenix Family's Erpeng Wings Package only costs one gold coin!"
Depend on! Isn't this an obvious deliberate effort to lower prices and grab customers?
Heh, what is the name like? What is the style like? What about the low price? If the taste is not good, what is the use of other resemblance?
I sneered, "Heh, let's have a set meal." β
We sat down, and after a while, Xiao Er came with a large pot of chicken soup and a large plate of chicken.
But after seeing these two dishes and smelling them again, we were all silent.
Because it's so much like it! Except that the condiments are not so rich, and the main ingredients are added a lot, the appearance feels really the same.
Miyamoto comforted, "Don't worry, maybe Jie is just a faΓ§ade. β
We ordered, and then we started to divide the soup and meals.
At that time, after tasting the soup and eating the white-cut chicken, we were even more silent.
I couldn't help but growl, "What the hell! Why is it that even the taste is exactly the same? Can anyone tell me what this is? β
Ah Ke smacked his mouth and said, "There are still some subtle differences. However, it is true that almost all of them are the same. β
I beckoned Xiao Er over and said kindly, "Excuse me, can you see what your chef looks like?" β
Xiao Er smiled and replied, "Of course." β
After a minute, a fat man stood in front of me. Rather reservedly, he said, "Excuse me, is there any problem?" If there is, I will change it. β
I was disappointed. He is not the long-lost brother of the three Pan-style brothers in the imagination!
"Excuse me, did you make this dish?"
"Yes." He rubbed his hands together a little crampedly.
Ah Ke immediately pointed out: "You lie! I see your hands, the calluses are not deep, and there are no wounds, so you are definitely not a chef. β
He immediately blushed: "I'm really! If you don't believe me, let's go to the back kitchen. β
"Just take a look." Ah Ke immediately stood up.
"Don't do that." I stopped her and said kindly, "Well, Chef, don't be angry. We've never eaten such a delicious dish, so we can't help but be a little curious, and there is no malice. Go back to work. β
I said to Xiao Er, "Who is your boss?" β
Xiao Er said with a wary face: "What do you want to do?" β
"Nope. Just wanted to talk about collaboration. β
Xiao Er shook his head: "Actually, I don't know who the boss is. Because I haven't seen it at all. β
All right.
"It seems that the reason for this problem has to be found from the three brothers." On the way back, when the hourglass ran out and crossed the street, I said.
Ah Ke also frowned: "You mean that there are traitors among them?" β
"I don't believe there is such a coincidence in this world. My gut tells me that it must be so. β
Gou Jian put forward a different view: "Maybe they are from the same school? β
"It's also possible." I couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Back in the store, it was already obvious that there was a decrease in the number of diners. After all, on the other side, you can eat something more hearty at a lower price. It goes without saying.
This night, it closed earlier than usual. On the other side, business is still booming.
Closing the door, I called the three brothers and prepared to question them.
I smiled and said, "There's a new store across the street, you know?" β
They nodded.
Pan Hua said with an unhappy face: "It's shameless to steal the names of our three brothers!" β
I nodded: "It's shameless." Not only the name, but also the style are very similar to ours. Moreover, even the type of signature dish tastes the same. β
"Impossible!" Pan Hua Pan Shun said in unison. Pan Bei's voice slowed down by half a beat, and he also said, "Impossible! β
Gou Jian said: "But today we went to taste it. It's really the same. β
The three brothers still shook their heads, expressing disbelief.
"Well, why are you so sure it's impossible?"
All eyes were on them.
The three brothers vaguely understood the true purpose of my question. So Pan Hua stood up and said, "Because this is our ancestral secret recipe, outsiders can't know it at all." β
Hehe, it's a pity, it's already known to outsiders.
"That's right. If outsiders knew the secret recipe, would they be able to make the same dish? β
Pan Shun got down, frowned and said, "As long as you have talent, try a few more times, you should be able to do it." β
"So to speak, according to all the information that is known. The chef on the other side must have the secret recipe you are talking about to make such a similar taste. So the question is, who leaked the secret recipe? β
The three brothers shook their heads again.
Pan Hua said loudly: "Childe has the grace of reinvention for us. And we're having a really good day right now. Live well, eat well, dress well, and spend all the money every day. How could we betray Childe and help a competitor? β
I nodded and looked at Pan Bei, who had not spoken: "Pan Bei, if I insist on it, there must be internal ghosts among you." Who do you think it will be? β
Pan Beiyi gritted his teeth, pointed at Pan Shun and said, "That must be him!" β
Pan Shun with me: "Why? β
I'm smiling faintly. Pan Shun was full of puzzlement.
"Because the other day, I woke up at night and saw him sneaking up and chatting with a stranger."
Pan Shun immediately got angry: "Second brother! Let's say the opposite, it's obvious that I saw that it was good to chat with others in the middle of the night. How did you blame me? β
"I came across a guest who came back and left something behind. What about you? How to explain it? β
Pan Shun also said: "I also met a guest who claimed to have left something. Only he left later. β
Pan Hua said strangely: "How did you all meet it?" I don't have one? β
Pan Shun Pan Bei said with some embarrassment: "Because our kidneys are a little bad......"
I touched my head and rubbed my swollen temples. Because the clue that finally appeared was broken again.
