Reborn in 1985: From Selling Braised Duck to Becoming the World's Richest Man

Upon hearing Sun Xiao's name, Liang Ming's face immediately darkened.

He now knew who was causing trouble.

Then they saw Sun Xiao, with his arm around Song Mei's waist, walk in through the crowd and say arrogantly to Liang Ming:

"Mr. Liang, it's been a long time. I wonder if you like this gift I've prepared for you today?"

Ever since Song Qiang's attempt to cause trouble at Xiangmanlou Restaurant failed, and he was instead extorted for money by those thugs, Sun Xiao has been very dissatisfied with his brother-in-law.

Not only did they confiscate the Santana, but they also made Song Qiang behave himself in the village for a while.

But Song Mei served him so well every day and said so many nice and gentle things that Sun Xiao's attitude towards Song Qiang softened a bit.

In the past two days, Song Mei got the news from somewhere that Liang Ming's braised duck shop was about to open, and asked him to come up with a way to make Liang Ming's opening ceremony less than smooth.

Upon hearing this, Sun Xiao invited a boxing gym from Hong Kong Island to come over, intending to give Liang Ming a proper congratulatory gift.

"Mr. Sun, isn't He Dian from Black Lion against the rules?"

Liang Ming narrowed his eyes and said coldly to Sun Xiao.

Not only him, but even the members of the Golden Lions team glared angrily at Sun Xiao.

As members of the Golden Lion Team, they make a living in the surrounding villages and towns, relying on their lion dancing skills and reputation.

Now, someone is bringing a Black Lions team to their door to provoke them, which is a disgrace to them.

If this matter isn't handled properly today, and word gets out, they won't be able to make a living in this surrounding area anymore.

If it weren't for the fact that today is the host's grand opening celebration, they would have already started fighting and made the other side bleed.

Lion dance troupes of that era were all skilled in martial arts; if a real fight broke out, it was common for several people to be killed or maimed.

"Boss Liang, what are you saying? Everyone says that Black Lion He Dian can ward off evil spirits and bring good fortune!"

"This is a good omen, why can't you understand my good intentions?"

Sun Xiao sneered, speaking with a slightly sarcastic tone.

His coming today is clearly intended to ruin Liang Ming's braised duck shop's opening.

Not far away, the Black and Gold Lions were still sparring, neither of them getting serious yet.

Everyone is waiting for their boss to speak.

"Mr. Sun, so you're saying you're not going to let your Black Lion turn back?"

Liang Ming's expression was somewhat cold as he spoke.

“The black lion represents Zhang Fei, a symbol of bravery and fearlessness. Making it turn back is not a good omen,” Sun Xiao shrugged and said.

Clearly, he had no intention of letting the Black Lions retreat.

Upon hearing this, Liang Ming's face darkened, and he said, "In that case, we have no choice but to fight!"

"It just so happens that my Liang Hei Ya braised food shop is opening today, so it would be good for the neighbors to watch the lion dance performance."

At this point, he turned to the men of the Golden Lion Team and shouted, "Do you dare to fight this lion?"

"Fight!" the Golden Lions shouted excitedly in unison.

Seeing this, Sun Xiao sneered and said, "My Black Lion Team comes from an overseas Hung Kuen martial arts school!"

"You lion dance troupe from a small town thinks you can compete with my Black Lion Troupe? You're simply overestimating yourselves!"

Upon hearing Sun Xiao's words, the expressions of the Golden Lion team's masters immediately changed, and their gazes sharpened.

Liang Ming looked puzzled as he sensed that something was wrong with the Golden Lion team's mentors.

Although lion dance masters are all full of energy, why did they get so excited when they heard that Sun Xiao's Black Lion Team was from an overseas Hung Kuen school?

"Boss Liang, the master of this lion dance troupe is a disciple of the Chancheng Hung Kuen Martial Arts School..."

Qin Fang, who was standing to the side, seemed to have guessed what Liang Ming was thinking. She moved closer to him and whispered an explanation.

Upon hearing this, Liang Ming suddenly understood.

Chancheng is the birthplace of lion dance, and most lion dance masters learned Hung Kuen.

Hung Kuen versus Hung Kuen, mainland versus overseas, golden lion versus black lion.

Both sides have reasons why they cannot afford to lose!

"Beat the Seven Star Drum, Fight the Lion!"

At this moment, the head chef of the Golden Lion team shouted loudly.

Upon hearing this, the apprentices below all became serious.

The Seven Star Drum is an essential drum for lion dances!

The neighbors around were also excited when they saw this.

They haven't seen lion fighting for a long time either.

"A bunch of country bumpkins, they think they can beat our Black Lions team!"

Seeing this, Song Mei also sneered and mocked.

At this point, she turned directly to the Black Lions team and said, "Don't lose, or you'll lose half of your reward!"

The Black Lions team's coach frowned slightly upon hearing Song Mei's words, but said nothing and charged directly at the Golden Lions team.

The two sides fought back and forth, and the surrounding neighbors cheered and applauded.

Although the Black Lions played a fierce style, the Golden Lions ultimately prevailed.

The master chef of the Golden Lion team seized an opening, defeated the Black Lion team, and quickly raised his head to pick the greens. Then, he spat out the four characters "Grand Opening" from the lion's head.

"it is good!!!"

The neighbors cheered loudly when they saw the Golden Lions win.

"Mr. Sun, it seems your Black Lions team has lost!"

Liang Ming looked at Sun Xiao with a mocking expression and said.

"A bunch of useless trash! What a waste of money to hire you!"

Sun Xiao's expression also turned ugly, and he cursed at the Black Lions team's masters.

The black lion masters looked rather grim, but dared not refute them.

"Liang Ming, don't be so smug. You only won a lion fight."

"This is just the beginning. I want to see if your braised duck shop can continue to operate."

Sun Xiao turned to look at Liang Ming and said coldly.

"What? You want to follow Song Qiang's example and smear my braised duck shop by saying there are dead rats?"

Liang Ming said in a cold voice.

"I wouldn't stoop to using such low-class tricks."

Sun Xiao shook his head and said:

"I'm a businessman, and I'll take all your customers away fair and square."

"Stealing my braised duck shop's customers?" Liang Ming raised an eyebrow, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Seeing this, Song Mei said to Liang Ming, "Boss Sun, we've already taken over the storefronts next to your two Liang Black Duck shops."

"In addition, he spent a lot of money to buy the recipe of a time-honored roast meat brand on Hong Kong Island, and plans to open a chain of Hong Kong-style roast meat stores next to you."

"Your braised dishes are ultimately substandard and cannot compete with our Hong Kong-style roast meats."

Upon hearing Sun Xiao and Song Mei's words, Liang Ming frowned.

Hong Kong-style roast meats mainly include roast goose, roast pigeon, suckling pig, and char siu, because these dishes have crispy skin, are succulent, and have a taste that perfectly matches the sweet and savory flavors preferred by people in Guangdong Province.

Even twenty or thirty years later, Hong Kong-style roast meats are still a dish that people in Guangdong Province never get tired of eating.

If Sun Xiao opened an authentic Hong Kong-style roast meat shop at this time, it might really steal away a lot of his customers.

"Liang Ming, why aren't you saying anything? Are you scared?"

Seeing this, Song Mei remained silent, and instead sarcastically remarked to Liang Ming:

"If you're afraid, I can give you a chance to beg for mercy."

"Kneel down now and kowtow to us three times, and I might consider persuading Boss Sun to open his roast meat shop in a different location."

When Liang Ming broke off their engagement, she lost face in the village. She had always fantasized about having Liang Ming kneel before her and kowtow to apologize!

Then, she stomped on Liang Ming's head, humiliating him mercilessly!
