Fu Huang: Husband, here is a ginseng

Mingyueju in the east of the city is experiencing a business slump, with the lobby almost deserted.

These customers had waited too long at Sun's Restaurant and were really hungry, so they came here to eat.

The shopkeeper of Mingyueju walked back and forth in front of the cash register, his hands clenched anxiously.

"Shopkeeper, I bought it back."

The waiter ran in happily from outside, holding a bag of food in his hand.

"Quick, go get Chef Yan to go to the box."

Shopkeeper Liu took it excitedly and said to the waiter.

"Yes, sir, I'll go get them."

After the waiter finished speaking, he ran to the kitchen to find the cook and asked him to go to the private room to discuss the matter.

Shopkeeper Liu hurried to the private room to find his boss, bringing with him the spicy crayfish he had packed.

The owner of Mingyueju is Ning Zeming, a native of Taizhou, who has connections in both the black and white worlds.

Mingyueju is one of his public properties, he also has underground banks, brothels and casinos.

In Taizhou, few people dared to go against him. Even the government coexisted peacefully with him. As long as he didn't cause any deaths or go too far, Magistrate Zhang could only turn a blind eye. After all, it was difficult to defeat a local tyrant.

There are more than ten restaurants of all sizes in Taizhou Prefecture, but those are small restaurants and cannot affect Mingyueju.

The only thing that can influence Mingyueju is Guangfulou. It is spread throughout Daliang. The owner is very mysterious, but he has a great background. Anyone who touches Guangfulou will end up losing everything, or losing his family or being imprisoned.

Ning Zeming also moved against Guangfulou, and almost got him involved. Fortunately, he had many connections, so he escaped, but he didn't dare to move against Guangfulou, and was willing to let Mingyueju take second place.

Ever since Sun's Restaurant opened, all his customers have been taken away.

Today it’s even more outrageous, with a new product, spicy crayfish, which has won the customers’ praise.

He just came to Mingyueju to take a look and asked the waiter to find out some information.

It's not that he didn't want to take over the Sun Family Restaurant. The Sun Family Restaurant had the support of Princess Xiangyun, who was also a miracle doctor who saved the people of Daliang. Using poison in front of her was simply like showing off one's talents before an expert and seeking one's own death.

Also, her rank is higher than that of the prefect, and she has the support of the emperor. If you want to touch her, you must come up with a foolproof plan and strike a fatal blow.

Shopkeeper Liu entered the box and Ning Zeming was drinking tea.

"Boss, I bought some crayfish."

Shopkeeper Liu placed the crayfish on the table, opened the wrapping paper, and the fragrance wafted out.

Ning Zeming picked up the chopsticks and picked up a crayfish to eat. It was delicious, spicy and tasty. It was really delicious.

After eating one, Ning Zeming couldn't help but pick up another one and put it in his mouth, slowly savoring its deliciousness.

The waiter and Chef Yan came in.

"Hello, boss! Hello, shopkeeper!"

Chef Yan greets Ning Zeming and Manager Liu

“Come and try it, we will make this dish too.”

Ning Zeming asked Chef Yan to come over and try the dish, and asked him to make the exact same dish. Then he asked the waiter, "What is the name of this dish?"

The waiter immediately said, "Spicy crayfish!"

So the waiter reported the information he had obtained to Mr. Ning and Manager Liu one by one, including that it was Gao Zhijun who taught Zhou Yuyi how to get the crayfish, and that the crayfish were caught in the county owner's paddy field.

Knowing that all this was the plan of the Bishop of Xiangyun County, Ning Zeming decided not to confront him head-on. If you can do it, I can do it too.

So he asked Manager Liu to go to the county lord's fertile fields downstream to hire people to catch crayfish.

The Sun family and Gao Zhijun knew nothing about all this. Gao Zhijun was preparing a big meal in the clinic to reward Jinxiu and the others.

Three tables of meals were prepared, one for Tao Yuanzheng and the doctor, one for Huo Jinxiu and her nursing team, and one for Huo Jin and his team, Gao Zhijun, Qinglong, and Mo Xue.

The doctors were a little restrained when they first saw Gao Zhijun, but Dean Tao repeatedly emphasized that everyone could eat without worrying about the food, and then everyone became less restrained and ate happily.

After lunch, Gao Zhijun took the Huo family back to Huo Village.

The next day, after Gao Zhijun finished her lunch, Sun Fushou hurried back to find Gao Zhijun.

"Second uncle, what happened?"

Looking at her anxious second uncle, Gao Zhijun asked with concern.

"Zhijun, today Mingyue Ju is learning how to make spicy crayfish from us. Their price is five cents cheaper than ours, and all our customers have been taken away by them. There are only a few customers in the store. Mother and sister-in-law asked me to come back and ask you, what should we do? Should we also lower the price?"

Sun Fushou told Gao Zhijun what happened in the restaurant today, hoping that she could make a decision.

"No need! Second uncle, go back and tell grandma and aunt that we don't have to do anything. We can continue business as usual and those customers will come back soon."

Gao Zhijun comforted Sun Fushou and told him not to do anything and just let things go as usual.

When she was making spicy crayfish, she knew that someone would imitate her and make spicy crayfish.

Although crayfish are delicious, they are difficult to handle.

If it is not handled cleanly, the food will be inedible.

Therefore, she never worried that chefs from other restaurants would learn it.

“Really, there’s no need to lower the price?”

Sun Fushou still wanted to ask again, hoping to get a response about price reduction.

"No, my second uncle forgot how to clean and process crayfish. If you don't disclose that, others won't be able to fry delicious crayfish."

Gao Zhijun reminded Sun Fushou that as long as they kept the information secret, no other restaurant would be able to compete with the Sun Family Restaurant.

Gao Zhijun's words were like an epiphany for Sun Fushou, and he suddenly realized the truth.

How could he forget about this? Crayfish are very fishy. If not handled properly, they will taste fishy.

After saying goodbye to Gao Zhijun, Sun Fushou hurried back to Sun's Restaurant and told everyone exactly what Gao Zhijun had said. Only then did everyone feel relieved.
