Eavesdropping on Fu Bao's inner thoughts, emptying the stored grain and fleeing the famine

There's a reason why Lian Rongrong named her shop "Lian Rong Food Stall".

According to the original plan, Lian Rongrong was going to take the Lian family to the capital of Shang Kingdom to find her father and second brother.

Along the way, family members suffered deaths and injuries. Even the mother was unable to travel long distances due to illness.

They have already wasted more than two months, and even the mother's body will need even longer to recover.

Half a year is enough time for many changes to happen. But right now, they are unable to travel to Kyoto to reunite with their father and second brother.

After much deliberation, Lian Rongrong realized that Liangye City was the only route between the capital of Shang Kingdom and Dasheng.

Since she can't take her family south for the time being, she might as well wait and see.

Once Lianrong Food Stall makes a name for itself, Dad and Second Brother will definitely notice it on their way back.

On the same day that Lianrong Food Stall opened, Ruan Nianzhi's clinic also opened.

The clinic and the food stalls are across the street from each other, and Ruan Nianzhi's position as a doctor has a direct view of the food stalls' main entrance.

Meanwhile, outside the main entrance of the food stall, Lian Rongrong was loudly and energetically hawking her wares:

"Don't miss out! Lianrong Food Stall is now open for business, and all dishes are 50% off."

Lian Rongrong wore a light yellow floral headscarf, her long black hair neatly tied into a bun, and her eyes and brows were full of enthusiasm and anticipation for life.

Lian Rongrong always gave Ruan Nianzhi a strange feeling, as if looking at her made him feel that life had hope.

On the first day of opening, the food stall did quite well, but due to the opening discounts, the income was only so-so.

But after a whole day, Lian Rongrong was overjoyed. Although she hadn't earned much money, she saw hope.

Ever since deciding to temporarily settle in Liangye City, Lian Rongrong felt that she couldn't just focus on the lobster business.

Firstly, judging from the current situation, the audience for crayfish is still a minority, especially the people of Liangye City who have never seen this kind of thing before.

Secondly, the market for crayfish will eventually become saturated, and no matter how much you love something, you'll get tired of eating it all the time.

So, at the beginning of the business, Lian Rongrong decided to incorporate many other cuisines.

In her past life, Lian Rongrong loved spicy food the most, so she was quite knowledgeable about Sichuan cuisine.

Lian Rongrong never expected that her foodie life would become an asset after her rebirth.

People in Shangguo have always loved spicy food, so Lianrong Food Stall, which mainly serves Sichuan cuisine, quickly became popular.

Since opening, the food stall has been packed. Lian Rongrong has been making a profit here without experiencing any downturns.

As business boomed, Lian Rongrong began to study new dishes, and the kitchen staff expanded from just Lian Rongrong to a team of five chefs.

And all of this happened in just one month.

However, as the old saying goes, "People fear becoming famous, just as pigs fear becoming fat," and the rise of Lianrong Food Stall quickly aroused the dissatisfaction of other businesses.

Especially the two most popular restaurants in Liangye City, Caiji Restaurant and Yunheju.

The two shopkeepers had been at odds for many years due to their business dealings, but who would have thought that they would one day cooperate?

Manager Liang of Caiji Restaurant and Manager Yun of Yunheju Restaurant both visited Lian Rongrong.

The conversation was nothing more than about acquiring Lian Rong's food stall. In reality, Lian Rongrong didn't care about the acquisition at all.

However, there was one thing Lian Rongrong could not compromise on: the name "Lian Rong" had to be retained.

Lian Rongrong's original intention was simply to make it easier for her father and brothers to search, but the two shopkeepers, Liang and Yun, saw it differently.

In Liang and Yun's view, Lian Rongrong wanted to expand her reputation in order to suppress the original leaders, Caiji Restaurant and Yunheju Restaurant.

The three parted on bad terms, and Liang and Yun held a grudge.

Starting three days after the acquisition, Lianrong Food Stall encountered wave after wave of troublesome customers.

Fortunately, Lian Rongrong handled the situation calmly and collectedly, preventing those who wanted to cause trouble from finding an opportunity.

Lian Rongrong knew, of course, who was behind these people, but knowing was one thing, and besides adapting to the situation, she didn't have any better options.

After all, without any evidence, she could not accuse Liang and Yun of being the masterminds behind the scenes.

Moreover, Caiji Restaurant and Yunheju are deeply entrenched in Liangye City, so it's best to avoid them if possible.

Even though Rongrong wanted to avoid it, they wouldn't let her off the hook.

At that moment, two thugs who were looking for trouble were sitting at the table in the middle of Lianrong Food Stall.

The waiter serving the dishes had already been splashed with soup by the two men. Lian Rongrong sighed, then composed herself and stepped forward.

"Gentlemen, is there anything wrong with this dish? If there's anything you're not satisfied with, I'll have the kitchen redo it."

Lian Rongrong smiled, patted Xiao Si on the shoulder, and gestured with her eyes for him to go down first.

The two thugs had come specifically for Lian Rongrong, so they naturally wouldn't care about the fate of a minor servant.

"Are you the owner here?" one of the thugs asked.

Lian Rongrong nodded, "Yes, just tell me if there's anything."

Upon seeing the main character arrive, the two thugs immediately shouted at the top of their lungs:

“You found cockroaches in this dish! You heartless merchants who make money without conscience, may you die a horrible death.”

To prove the truth of his words, one of the thugs even used chopsticks to pick up a huge cockroach and show it to everyone.

Everyone was stunned by this scene, and some customers who were unaware of what was going on began to have doubts.

Even more extreme, some people started using chopsticks to stir the food, trying to see if there were cockroaches in their dishes.

Lian Rongrong was already used to this method, but constantly going through this kind of ordeal couldn't be a long-term solution.

After pondering for a moment, Lian Rongrong finally decided to stop enduring it.

Before the two thugs could finish their commotion, Lian Rongrong suddenly leaped onto the table.

Everyone present was taken aback, and all eyes fell on Lian Rongrong.

"This is going on and on, I don't think you're ever going to stop. If I don't show my power, you'll think I'm some kind of Hello Kitty."

I beg you two idiots to take a look at this cockroach. At this size, unless you're blind, who would put it in the food?

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the fifth time that Lianrong Food Stall has encountered customers causing trouble for no reason.

The reason is probably obvious to everyone.

As for our dishes and kitchen hygiene, now you can all come with me to the back to take a look.

Let's see if our environment is as bad as they say.

Lian Rongrong is very smart. The most effective way to dispel rumors is to prove her innocence.

Rather than letting people speculate unnecessarily, it's better to present the facts.

Lian Rongrong's initiative to invite customers into the kitchen is a major taboo in restaurants.

With this move, the two thugs were immediately at a loss.

But at that moment, a group of people of unknown origin suddenly rushed into Lianrong Food Stall.

As soon as these people entered the main hall, they started smashing things, muttering that the Lianrong food stall had eaten their family members to death.

The sudden chaos caused many customers to flee in panic, and even Rongrong realized that today's events could not be resolved peacefully.

Just as Lian Rongrong was about to make her move, a familiar figure appeared.

The man was quick and agile, and in a few moments he threw the troublemaking thugs outside the door.

In just a short while, the once chaotic hall became quiet.

Lian Rongrong, however, just stared in shock at the man's back at the door.

"Big brother, is that you?" Lian Rongrong called softly, her voice trembling uncontrollably.
