The Bully General's Spiritual Husband

Wang Fu felt both happy and worried as he watched so many people pour into his restaurant in such a short time.

I'm afraid that if I sell it at half price, I'll lose a lot of money. What if that "spice" doesn't work?

However, since the news has already been released, this is the only way to proceed for now.

Only about half the people were there to eat; most were just there to watch the spectacle. After all, even at half price, they still couldn't afford the food and drinks at Fu Man Lou. They'd rather spend that money at the Hong happy Lou next door.

Hongxilou has good food and reasonable prices. Anyway, it's better than Fumanlou everywhere.

Wang Fu's face crinkled with smiles as he watched his old customers return.

Look at this picture and what do you have to compare it to? Once they eat this food with "spice," who will ever go to your Hongxilou again? You'll be past your prime; you'll only be a novelty for a short time.

Xiao Si watched as the customers who frequented this place went to the other side, and He Miao glared at her smugly.

He said to the shopkeeper unhappily, "What kind of bad idea has Fumanlou come up with this time? Why are you making such a commotion all of a sudden?"

"Who cares? We have plenty of customers. As long as we cook well, why should we worry about not having customers?" Manager Zhang was confident in this. Young Master Yin had many recipes and introduced new dishes every two weeks, attracting many customers to come to his shop.

Fu Man Lou

"Manager Wang, this dish tastes really good! It tastes much better than before. Did you add something special?"

Wang Fu was extremely pleased to hear his guest's words. It seemed the spices Brother Zhao had given him were quite good. He'd buy more from him tomorrow; with these spices, he wouldn't have to worry about customers not coming.

"Look at what you're saying, sir. It's not like everyone across the street has improved their signature dishes. If my Fumanlou doesn't innovate, we'll have no business."

The guests knew that Wang Fu would never tell them, after all, it was a secret of his restaurant, and he relied on it to make money, so how could he easily reveal it?

More than one customer said that the food tasted exceptionally good today, and they wanted to eat it again and again.

Wang Fu only got a small amount of "spice" from Yu Ming yesterday, so he naturally asked the chef to add it to the expensive dishes.

Some people who hadn't ordered that dish were intrigued by hearing others talk about it and started asking He Miao to add those dishes to their orders.

The chefs in the kitchen were working so hard their hands were practically smoking, but it was all thanks to the "spices" the manager brought. I tasted them myself and added them to the dish, and the flavor of the whole dish was greatly improved.

Yu Ming naturally noticed the booming business of Fu Man Lou, and this was exactly the effect he wanted. He feared he wouldn't be able to control these people once most of them had taken his Five-Stone Powder.

Even if the people who have been tracking me come, so what? Anyway, by then the whole of Qingshui Town will probably be mine, Yu Ming's.

The weather was sunny today, but Yin Baicai thought that Li Zhe still had to investigate his older brother's affairs, so she decided to take a break from selling ice.

He'll make plans once everything settles down; he's not in a hurry for money anyway. He can get a good share from Manager Zhang.

Shen Jin wandered around the town market but still couldn't find Yin Baicai. Thinking that she probably wasn't coming, he prepared to go back to the gambling den to stay there.

Halfway there, Shen Jin's eyes darkened, and she put away her folding fan: "Come out, stop hiding like a mouse."

Seeing that his whereabouts had been discovered, Li Jinhu stopped hiding and came out with a group of henchmen carrying sticks.

Li Jinhu spat on the ground: "You're the pretty boy who bullied Yao Mei?"

Upon hearing this address, Shen Jin knew that the person was most likely referring to Wang Yao, who had been constantly bothering him.

Ever since I told her last time that if she wanted to marry me, she could only be a concubine, and that with her looks she wouldn't even be qualified to be one, I've always known her.

After being so humiliated by Shen Jin, Wang Yao locked herself in her room after returning home. She took advantage of her childhood sweetheart, Li Jinhu, coming over to pour out her grievances to him.

Li Jinhu arrived with his men, looking menacing, to seek revenge for her.

Shen Jin picked at his ear and said disdainfully, "Who are you? You dare to come looking for trouble with me? You probably haven't asked where I come from."

Li Jinhu scoffed, "You mean Yongsheng Gambling House? So what? Do you think Shen Li can do anything to me? My father is a big shot in this town, and he has a good relationship with Master Jin!"

He looked Shen Jin up and down and said, "You probably don't know who Master Jin is!"

Shen Jin naturally dared to let Shen Li open a gambling den in Qingshui Town, so he naturally knew who this Master Jin was.

"I know, he's just a dog servant who framed his master and seized his family's property! Who doesn't know him!" Shen Jin said coldly.

Seeing that he dared to humiliate Master Jin like this, Li Jinhu said, "You're something else. If I tell Young Master Jin, you'll be half-crippled, if not dead."

Shen Jin was already in a bad mood, and now that the interesting young man hadn't arrived, these stinky flies were bothering her even more. She simply couldn't be bothered to waste any more words with them.

Holding a black fan, he rushed forward at lightning speed, and in an instant, Li Jinhu and the others were all knocked to the ground by Shen Jin.

Shen Jin patted Li Jinhu's face with his fan: "You stinky fly, go around me from now on."

After speaking, Shen Jin opened his ink fan and left with a smug smile.

Li Jinhu watched Shen Jin's departing figure and cursed viciously at his lackeys beside him: "Useless trash! We've fed and drunk you all for nothing, and you can't even handle such a pretty boy."

The lackeys exchanged glances and said, "We're nothing like that. You always brag about your martial arts skills, but you were beaten down by that pretty boy in just two moves."

These men only dared to grumble in their hearts; if they said it aloud, Li Jinhu would skin them alive.

Zhu Sheng, who usually knew how to please Li Jinhu, stepped forward and said, "Brother Gou, since we can't deal with him, we can hire someone to do it, right?"

Li Jinhu: "Stop keeping me in suspense and tell me quickly."

Zhu Sheng lowered his head and said, "Brother Hu, that pretty boy has insulted Master Jin. If these words were to reach Young Master Jin's ears, wouldn't that be..."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Jinhu understood. He and Young Master Jin were on good terms. If he could just embellish the story with Jin Cheng, he wasn't afraid that Young Master Jin would be able to hold back.

Although what the pretty boy said was true, ever since the eldest daughter of the Jin family became Magistrate Ma's favorite concubine, who in this town dared to discuss this matter openly?

Li Jinhu got up: "Let's go, let's go to Huamanlou and catch up with Young Master Jin."

Wang Yao's infatuation with Shen Jin had now turned into hatred. She had never been humiliated like this before. This Shen Jin was nothing but a pretty face. How dare he embarrass me like this? I'll see if Li Jinhu doesn't teach him a lesson this time.

Maybe if you beg me, I might be kind enough to ask him to let you go.

Xiaohe looked at Wang Yao's gloomy face, afraid that she would take her anger out on her, so she was very careful in everything she did.

She was also anxious. If she could secretly tell Young Master Shen a word, maybe he would treat her differently!

Xiaohe felt disgusted looking at Wang Yao, who wore no makeup and had a face full of pockmarks. How dare she bother Young Master Shen with such an ugly appearance?

It's like a toad trying to eat swan meat. If I didn't apply so much makeup to her every day, how would she dare to go out in public with that ugly face?

She deserves to be looked down upon by Young Master Shen; she's an ugly hag.
