Chapter 311: Self-Inflicted Consequences
They bought off a young guy and asked him to go to the Qingyun Restaurant opposite to buy the new dish, and several people opened the package that the guy brought back, Li Chuxia couldn't help but twist his eyebrows, and muttered in his heart, isn't this dish exactly the same as his own rich and noble flowers?
She couldn't wait to take the chopsticks, put a bite into her mouth, and was immediately surprised.
Not only her, but even Baili Yunzheng sighed: "This is exactly the same as the taste of the food you cook!" β
Li Chuxia also nodded, and had to admit that although this dish was his own creation, it was not difficult at all to be stolen.
Thinking of this, she suddenly fell into deep thought.
Chang Jian waved his fists with some indignation, gritted his teeth and said, "It must be our guys here who betrayed us!" It seems that we are too tolerant of them on a daily basis! β
"It's useless." Li Chuxia waved his hand, "People are like this, always think about their own interests, even if you can catch one now, you can't catch the second, instead of wasting time on this, it is better to think of a new dish." β
Moreover, it is a dish that cannot be stolen.
Baili Yunzheng nodded and said, "What Chu Xia said is right. That Qingyun Restaurant did this, just to let us mess with ourselves, so as to make a profit, as long as we close the door, even if they raise the price, it will not matter. β
The market is like this, as long as the competitors are forced out, even if the price is raised, everyone has no place to go, and they still have to go to Qingyun.
This trick can be regarded as an old routine.
Chang Jian pursed his lips, spread his hands, and said helplessly: "Okay, now you women sing with your husband, but what clever plan have you come up with?" β
Baili Yunzheng took Li Chuxia's hand and said in a deep voice: "Since the other party stole our dishes, we will make one that he can't steal." β
Li Chuxia nodded and said, "A unique secret recipe!" β
As soon as they said it, they immediately bought a lot of ingredients and came over, and Li Chuxia worked for three whole nights before he researched the new dishes and set them up on the table.
Baili Yunzheng and Chang Jian sat on the side, and began to try the dishes one by one, and after tasting them, they were full of praise.
Li Chuxia smiled with satisfaction and wiped his oil-stained hands, "Okay, then we'll serve these new dishes." β
"But......" Chang Jian frowned, "These dishes are very easy." β
His gaze wandered around the table, and although the taste was excellent, the creativity was there, and the ingredients available and the preparation process were obviously very simple, and he casually pointed to one of the dishes, "It's like this, whether it's fried peanuts or cucumbers, it's very common." β
"But it's not common to put them together." Li Chuxia hooked his lips, "Cucumbers are cold, peanuts are oily, these two are mixed together, it is easy to have diarrhea, I make this dish, others have never thought of it, and I don't care about trying it." β
Chang Jian subconsciously touched his stomach, "Then I'm ......"
blamed himself for being greedy, but he tasted it and felt that it tasted good, so he ate two more bites, who knew that these two foods would be mutually reinforcing......
"Don't be afraid, I added a little special sauce to it, neutralizing the two foods, not only am I not afraid of diarrhea, but the taste will be better."
"Will they find out?"
Li Chuxia waved his hand, "Don't worry, the original ingredients of this sauce were accidentally learned by me from an old Chinese medicine doctor, and it was originally used to treat stomach cold. β
When Chang Jian heard this, he suddenly became enlightened, "Okay, then we'll come up with these new dishes." Since the owner of Qingyun Restaurant dared to steal our ideas, we let him suffer the consequences. β
After deciding on it, in order to create momentum, they also gave these dishes a few catchy names, and even decided to do activities three days before the launch of the new dishes.
The night before the launch of the new dish, Li Chuxia was busy all night without sleep in order to prepare, and when he looked up and saw Chenxi sneaking in through the crack in the door, he got up and moved his muscles a little.
Turning her head, she saw Baili Yunzheng holding a cup of tea in her hand, groping and walking slowly, she rushed forward, took the teacup, and helped him sit down, "Why did you run out?" β
"It's been a hard time for you. I originally thought that this restaurant was to make you feel at ease, but I didn't expect you to be so busy all day......" Baili Yunzheng lowered his eyes helplessly, especially in Li Chuxia's busy days, but he couldn't help at all.
"It's okay, Yun Zheng. When I came out of the palace, I was actually a little confused, I didn't know what I could do and where I should go in the future. You gave me this restaurant and gave me direction. Li Chuxia looked at Baili Yunzheng's eyes, although he couldn't see it, but she believed that she could feel herself, "Now the restaurant has just started, it's hard, and it also makes me feel fulfilled, really, thank you." β
"Early Summer ......" Baili Yunzheng held her hand tightly and moved his lips.
"I know you're worried about me, but don't worry, I'll take care of myself and I'll be able to take care of you." Li Chuxia stretched out his other hand and covered the back of his hand, "Now, I have to take care of our restaurant first, we must win this battle!" β
Baili Yun nodded fixedly.
Two hours later, the restaurant opened, and the new event really attracted a lot of visitors, Li Chuxia received it attentively, and the new dishes really won a lot of praise, and people spread the word, and on the second day, more people came.
Business exploded all at once.
On the evening of the second day, Qingyun Restaurant really couldn't sit still, so he sent someone to come over to buy, and as soon as the young man saw someone, he came over to tell Li Chuxia.
Li Chuxia glanced at the young man sent by Qingyun Restaurant below, but saw that the young man was standing at the bottom, looking left and right, his face full of emptiness.
She snorted softly, "Whatever he wants, wrap it up and send it together, don't slack off." β
The guy from Qingyun Restaurant went out with a whole box of dishes, for fear of being discovered by Li Chuxia and others, so he went around a few streets to return to Qingyun Restaurant from the back door, and directly sent him to the room of the shopkeeper Peng Kai.
Peng Kai couldn't wait to taste Li Chuxia's new dishes, and a gloomy smile gradually appeared on his face, "This little girl in Yinxia Restaurant is really too naΓ―ve, thinking that we can't learn to cook with a few ingredients that are not often matched?" β
The guy blushed, and couldn't help but follow the probe to look at the delicious food on the table, "Shopkeeper, I'm afraid it took a lot of effort to make these dishes, and we stole them like this, I'm afraid it's ......."
"Idiot!" Peng Kai glared at the guy and shouted, "The same dish, as long as our price is low, we are the winner." The girl in the Yinxia Restaurant only knows how to cook, and the things in this business are still far behind. β
The guy pursed his lips and didn't dare to say anything more.
Soon, Qingyun Restaurant learned from Yinxia Restaurant to launch several new dishes, and the dishes were exactly the same, and the prices were lower.
As in the previous round, the number of visitors to the restaurant has decreased a lot.
Li Chuxia is happy to be idle, there are few guests, and she doesn't have to work in the kitchen all day, so she drinks a few pots of tea in her free time.
Unexpectedly, a few people rushed in violently, "Where is your shopkeeper?" β
The person who came was not good, Chang Jian was very keen, and he stood in front of him, looking at the person who came, "What do you want to do?" β
The leader said: "I'm here to find the shopkeeper of this Yinxia Restaurant!" I have a few brothers who have eaten bad stomachs in Qingyun Restaurant and have been lying in bed for several days, and I want to come to you to ask for an explanation. β
Li Chuxia, who was behind him, put down the teapot in his hand with a "snap", and sneered: "I have a bad stomach in Qingyun Restaurant, so I will find the shopkeeper of Qingyun Restaurant, what are you doing in our Yinxia Restaurant?" β
"The shopkeeper of Qingyun said that their dishes are all from you, and my brother will come to you after eating them."
"It's a big joke." Li Chuxia laughed, "Within a radius of a few miles, there are only two of us restaurants, and our two families are competing with each other, and water and fire are incompatible." Come to think of it, I'm afraid that Qingyun Restaurant has stolen our dishes, and if we can't do it, it will hurt your brother to have diarrhea. β
Those people looked at each other, and for a moment, they didn't know what to do.
On the side, Baili Yunzheng said out at the right time: "I stole our dishes and asked you to come to us, didn't I treat you as a knife." If you make a big fuss with us today, the government will arrest you, and you will kill two birds with one stone. β
After such a "reminder" from Baili Yunzheng, those few people suddenly realized, "Damn!" I was deceived by the shopkeeper. β
The leader bowed to Li Chuxia again, "I'm really sorry, there are many disturbances today, please forgive me." β
Li Chuxia just smiled, watching the group of people turn around and run towards Qingyun Restaurant again, and couldn't help but sigh lightly, "These people look like rough people in the market, and they can't be reasonable, it seems that Qingyun Restaurant is afraid that it will be difficult to escape." β
Baili Yunzheng snorted coldly, "This is also the result of Qingyun's shopkeeper's self-inflicted evil, but he can also blame us." β
"I'm afraid I'll take everyone in this world for a fool." Chang Jian casually took Baili Yunzheng's words, and watched many people from a distance towards the direction of Qingyun Restaurant, couldn't help but poke his head, and turned around and said, "I'll take a look." β
"Hey......" Before Li Chuxia could stop it, Chang Jian had already run away.
"Let him go."
About half an hour, Chang Jian came back happily, standing in front of the two of them and talking about the experience, "You don't know that the scene was chaotic at that time, the entire Qingyun Restaurant was smashed into a mess, and several Qingyun guys were smashed out of blood holes in their heads......"
Li Chuxia listened on the side and asked casually, "What happened later?" β
"Later, the yamen sent someone to seal off Qingyun Restaurant." Chang Jian's eyebrows raised, "We really won this battle!" β
Don't think about it, the future of Yinxia Restaurant is promising.
"What about the Qingyun shopkeeper?"
Hearing her ask, Chang Jian thought about it for a while, only then did he realize that something was wrong, he was stunned for a moment, and said, "I haven't seen anyone all this time, maybe I took advantage of the chaos to escape." β
Several people were silent at the same time, but they could only stop it.
