Peerless Young Master

As a delicacy, it can attract countless people and create a wave in just a few days. It must be a delicious delicacy.

This also represents huge profits. As long as the restaurant continues to serve hot pot, the business will be booming and making hundreds of dollars a day will be a piece of cake.

Even with Manager Zhao's temperament, when he learned the value of the hot pot and heard that Li Xuan wanted to sell it to him, his heart was filled with waves.

Compared to unchanging silver, a hen that lays golden eggs is naturally more valuable.

He didn't believe that Li Xuan didn't understand this principle.

Could something have happened to the Lin family?

"Given Shopkeeper Zhao's ability, it wouldn't take much effort for him to find out, so I won't hide it anymore.

The Lin family restaurant's business has been declining, causing dissatisfaction among the branches.

I made a bet with them that if they could improve the restaurant business within ten days, the matter would be dropped.

Otherwise, we have to give the restaurant to them.

Now that the agreed deadline is approaching, although the restaurant business has improved, it is still not enough to make a final decision."

There is still one day left, which is the day agreed with Tai Shugong.

According to previous expectations, they only need to vigorously promote hot pot and roast duck to gain popularity as quickly as possible and let everyone see that the restaurant is back on its feet.

Not only has it stood up, it also has potential far beyond what it had before.

It can also shake the determination of the people in the branch to stand on the side of the great uncle, and make them continue to stand on the side of the head of the Lin family.

But he didn't expect that Han San's appearance would completely shatter his plan.

When I think of my great uncle's despicable means, even with Mr. Zhao's fame, I may not succeed in persuading the other party.

In order to be on the safe side, Li Xuan had to sell the hot pot in exchange for a powerful helper.

“I didn’t expect there would be such a thing.”

Shopkeeper Zhao didn't expect that there would be internal strife in the Lin family, but he had no interest in such things. He changed the subject and said, "Of course I know the value of the hot pot. You name a price. If it's right, I will buy it."

"I don't want money"

Li Xuan shook his head: "I want to use the hot pot to exchange for a favor from Manager Zhao, asking him to help me at a critical moment."

"That's it"?

"That's it"!

Now it was Shopkeeper Zhao's turn to remain silent. He was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the other party didn't want money, but wanted a favor.

Favors are naturally worthless to ordinary people.

But to him, favors are sometimes more valuable than gold.

He had heard a little about what had happened to the Lin family, and he also knew the identity of the person behind the attack.

It is unwise to offend a big family for a recipe.

"Sorry, I reject this deal."

"Why?" Li Xuan's face changed and he said hurriedly: "With the status of Zhenxiulou and the hot pot, you will definitely make a lot of money. This deal is definitely not a loss."

“The one who attacked the Lin family is a big local family;

Although I'm not afraid, I don't want to offend them just for a recipe," Shopkeeper Zhao explained.

"Shopkeeper Zhao misunderstood."

“The Wang family is a major local family with enormous influence. I’m not naive enough to think that a recipe can convince you to take action against them.

I want to use this formula to have you shock the head of the Lin family branch, Great Uncle, and force him to retreat."

"Just this"?

Shopkeeper Zhao breathed a sigh of relief. It was not worth offending the Wang family for a delicacy, but if it was a small family, then it would be fine.

"It's just this. I think with the identity of Shopkeeper Zhao, this shouldn't be a difficult task."

"It's not a difficult thing, but can you make the decision?"

What you mean is, can you, a son-in-law, be the head of the family?

"My things are mine, so I have the final say."

A casual remark reached Shopkeeper Zhao's ears, which made his eyes light up and he was a little surprised.

This son-in-law seems to be quite interesting.

…………

For Li Xuan, exchanging a hot pot recipe for a favor from Manager Zhao was not a worthwhile deal.

Not only is it not worth it, it is even a huge loss.

You only have one chance to use up a favor, and once it’s used up, it’s gone.

But hotpot can exist forever, and as long as the restaurant does not go bankrupt, it can continue to make money.

As long as you have the recipe, you can become rich in just a few years.

If it is managed properly, it is not impossible for it to become a third-rate family like the Lin family.

But for Li Xuan, facing the relentless pressure from his great uncle, he had no choice.

He could even guess that there would be a bloody storm in the Lin family's meeting room the day after tomorrow. If the Lin family wanted to calm the situation, it would be difficult to convince the public with just the current restaurant business.

In this case, there must be someone who can absolutely keep the situation under control.

After much thought, the only person who can decide the outcome is Shopkeeper Zhao.

This is also the reason why Li Xuan used the hot pot recipe in exchange for the other party's opportunity to attack.

As long as we can overcome the current difficulties and gain more time, the things that come next will be much easier.

With his cooking skills and hundreds of classic dishes in his mind, it is too easy to make the restaurant business flourish. It is only a matter of time before it can be on par with Zhenxiulou or even surpass it.

"That's all. It's just a hot pot recipe. It's nothing."

After some thought, Li Xuan murmured.

Just as he was about to return to the Lin Mansion, a group of figures blocked his way.

"It's you"

A voice filled with astonishment and anger sounded.

Zhu Da behind him saw Li Xuan's appearance clearly, and immediately recalled the scene of being beaten by the other party in Lin's Restaurant that day. He suddenly became furious, clenched his fists, and his joints made a "creaking" sound.

"Well, it's really a narrow road for enemies to meet. That day, you took advantage of your numbers to launch a sneak attack in front of the restaurant and almost beat us to death. Today, I met you and I will definitely skin you alive and pull out your tendons to let you know how many eyes the Horse King has."

"Zhu Da, do you know each other?" Lin Haitao blinked and looked at Zhu Da's angry expression. This son-in-law had offended him.

"Master Lin, you don't know this." Zhu Da's eyes instantly filled with bloodshot, he gnashed his teeth, and stared at Li Xuan viciously:

"That day, we brothers followed your instructions and went to Lin's Restaurant to cause trouble. As a result, we were framed by this person and beaten with sticks. We were almost beaten to death."

"What"

Hearing this, Lin Haitao's expression changed drastically.

He originally thought this matter was a secret, but he didn't expect that Li Xuan already knew about it. Then wouldn't Lin Ruolin know about it too?

Just as Zhu Da took a step forward and rubbed his hands, Li Xuan spoke: "Lin Haitao, in broad daylight, under the clear sky, what do you want to do?

This is an inner street, if you dare to mess around, the police will not let you go."

Hearing the words "Inner Street", Zhu Da stopped immediately, the muscles on his face twitching slightly, revealing his inner struggle and unwillingness. He stared at Li Xuan, took a deep breath, and forced himself to suppress the rage in his heart.

"Boy, I don't believe you will stay in the inner streets all your life. If you dare to leave the inner streets, you will be in trouble."

Li Xuan's face was calm, with a hint of disdain in his eyes, and he looked at Lin Haitao: "Lin Haitao, you brought people here to block me, is it just to get back at him?"

Seeing the other party coming with Zhu Da and his group, Li Xuan's first reaction was that his beating of Lin Haitao had been discovered;

But when he saw the other person's confused look, he thought that he was standing up for Zhu Da and was looking for trouble with him.

"Li Xuan, I came here today to discuss something with you," Lin Haitao said condescendingly after moistening his throat.
