A small breakfast shop in the street market, supporting the family and making money

For an ordinary snack shop, having three or five signature dishes is already considered very impressive. However, if one or two signature dishes are taken away for no reason, the shop may lose a lot of customers, even suffer losses, or even face all kinds of uncontrollable consequences.

One can imagine how damaging this move by Zuixianlou was.

But this trick might work for other small shops, but it is useless for Leng Yan.

This is like spiritual practice. When a person reaches the golden elixir realm, there is only one golden elixir.

But Leng Yan had the advantage of having lived many more lives. She had countless golden elixirs and even some king bombs. She could win by sheer quantity. Two mere recipes could not shake her at all.

Leng Yan just wanted to say: "You hit me this time, and it's like you hit a wall~"

However, although this could not shake Leng Yan, it did not affect the fact that Zuixianlou irritated her.

If it were today, they would just be an ordinary small shop, relying on two or three signature dishes passed down from their ancestors and doing some small business to support their family.

However, because a big restaurant took a fancy to their signature dishes and wanted to take them for themselves, they used such dishy means to snatch the signature dishes away, thus ruining their livelihood to support their family. One can imagine how much they hated Zuixianlou.

Cutting off someone's source of wealth is like killing his parents; cutting him into pieces is not too much.

Leng Ji was lucky today. Even though they were chosen by Zuixianlou for attack, they still had the ability to fight back.

But what if it is another small shop, or a shop whose signature dishes were snatched away in previous years due to a cooking competition? They are powerless to resist, so do they just deserve it?

Leng Yan sat quietly behind the counter, thoughts churning in her head as she tried to find a way to fight back.

"Mr. Yan has confirmed everything. Tables 3, 4, 9, and 11 have all ordered double pepper chicken and ginger duck, and each has also packed a portion."

At this time, the three strong men came over and reported their observations with their heads down.

"When dining, these people are not like other diners who are truly enjoying their meals, but rather they are carefully considering the ingredients and the cooking time of each dish.

A careful observation will reveal that it is just as you described, Mr. Yan. I guess they are colleagues who are here to study the recipes of these two dishes."

"really!"

Leng Yan sighed softly. There is still half a month left before the cooking competition. As soon as Zuixianlou announced the test questions for Double Pepper Chicken and Ginger Duck, so many people came to study the recipes to taste them. They really care about the food.

"Have you found out how much the prize money for the first place winner of each dish at Zuixianlou is this time?"

Leng Yan asked.

"I found out. I heard that this year's bonus is 20 taels higher than in previous years."

The three strong men nodded and replied: "Six dishes, six tests, the first place in each test will receive 100 taels of silver.

In the final round, the six first-place winners can make a dish of their own accord, and finally a first-place winner will be selected and awarded 200 taels of silver."

One hundred taels of silver is really not a small amount of money. No wonder so many people participate enthusiastically every year.

One hundred taels of silver might be just the amount of money needed to buy a recipe at Zuixianlou, but he got ten times the result by spending it. Not only did he get the recipe he wanted, he was able to promote his own restaurant and even gain a good reputation.

He is truly a marketing genius. If this kind of marketing was not based on the pain of others, it would be a perfect plan.

"If you ask me, Zuixianlou is used to being the only one in town."

Seeing Leng Yan's serious expression, the three strong men couldn't help but complain.

"How to say?"

Leng Yan looked at him and motioned for him to continue.

San Qiang seemed to be encouraged and continued to speak boldly: "Although our Hulu Town is not very big, it is also a prosperous area because it has a dock for people to travel from the south to the north.

Logically speaking, if a region is prosperous, there will naturally be restaurants and food shops. After all, you can do nothing, but food, clothing, housing and transportation are indispensable.

Although there are many snack shops and taverns in Hulu Town, those restaurants that can slightly compare with Zuixianlou either do not have the strength behind them, or their dishes do not taste as good as Zuixianlou, so they can only be suppressed by Zuixianlou.

Therefore, the only restaurant that can truly receive wealthy diners is Zuixianlou, and it is the only one.

Why is this? Of course, it is because it is the number one restaurant in Hulu Town, and its decoration is elegant and its dishes taste good, so it is naturally the first choice of wealthy people.

After all, not all guests believe that good wine needs no bush.

This results in those who can receive top guests continuing to receive guests.

It is not uncommon for big restaurants to bully small shops. The cooking competition held by Zuixianlou is not just to strangle the competition of all small shops.

Small shops are stuck in the middle and low levels, facing great competition from peers, and earning neither too much nor too little. They are stuck in the middle and want to move up, but cannot, and are unwilling to settle for a low level.

"So, Hulu Town is now lacking a store that can compete with Zuixianlou."

Leng Yan spoke up suddenly, and it felt like the clouds had cleared and the sun had appeared.

"Yes." The three strong men nodded heavily.

Leng Yan suddenly realized, "Now that Zuixianlou is bullying us, can we become the one who resists?"

It seemed like she was asking the three strongest people, but also seemed like she was asking herself.

"nature."

The three strong men nodded vigorously after hearing this.

"Master Yan, I haven't read much and I don't understand any great principles, but I only recognize one principle: if I am bullied and don't know how to resist, I will only be bullied endlessly."

"Instead of passively taking a beating, it is better to take the initiative and fight. Only by fighting hard can you succeed."
