Infinite Doomsday: I rely on space to stock up and bully the scum
Chapter 86 Meeting an old friend again
After Manager Zhou said this, Jiang Jiang noticed that the number of customers in Baixiang Tower was indeed much less than before.
In the past at noon, there were at least a dozen or twenty tables of people, if not a full house. But now, there are only a few scattered tables.
No wonder Shopkeeper Zhou had the leisure to chat with her.
But why?
Thinking of this, Jiang Jiang asked.
Shopkeeper Zhou sighed and shook his head, saying, "I don't know why, but Piaoxianglou has introduced a lot of new dishes, which have attracted our customers away. That's fine, but they actually copied Xiangmanlou's signature dishes, and the price of each dish is 66 cents less than ours."
Piaoxianglou is the property of the Xu family in the town. As the name suggests, Piaoxianglou and Xiangmanlou, as the only two large restaurants in the town, are direct competitors.
If Piaoxianglou was just innovating and attracting customers with novel dishes, the Zhou family would only be angry that they were not as good as others. However, Piaoxianglou actually replicated Xiangmanlou's signature dishes and sold them at even lower prices. This behavior was completely humiliating to the Zhou family.
Moreover, Manager Zhou suspected that there was a traitor in the restaurant, but after investigating, he found that the chefs who knew the recipes of those dishes were not suspects, which left him puzzled.
Manager Zhou came to see Jiang Jiang, firstly to reminisce about the past, and secondly, to ask her if she had any new recipes. Whether it was desserts, pastries, or various dishes, their Zhou family was willing to pay a high price for them.
The ice cream recipe obtained from the last transaction brought a lot of benefits to the Zhou family. Having tasted the sweetness, Shopkeeper Zhou also wanted to try his luck again.
"Mrs. Jiang, if you have a way, our Zhou family will not be stingy with money."
The Zhou and Xu families are fighting, so it's better for small fry like them not to get involved. Even if the Zhou family promises generous conditions, Jiang Jiang will still refuse.
"I don't have any house, so I live off my relative. He's gone to the north now. When he comes back, I'll ask for Manager Zhou. If there's a chance, I'll let the people in our town taste the flavor of northern cuisine."
Wasn't it just for these words that Manager Zhou came to see Jiang Jiang? After getting what he wanted, he simply gave Jiang Jiang and the other two free meals.
After eating and drinking, Jiang Jiang prepared to go home with her two children. When passing by a stall selling pastries, Jiang Jiang couldn't take her eyes off it.
"Dongliang, Changyuan, do you want to eat some pastry?"
Li Changyuan and Li Dongliang looked at each other, feeling somewhat helpless. Grandma must want to eat pastry cakes. They said in unison, "Yes!"
Jiang Jiang understood. As expected, she knew these two boys best. They would get hungry after a while after eating.
"Eleven shortbread cookies, please! Eat three now and take away the other eight!"
She treated everyone equally and gave eight pastries, just one for each person in the family.
The freshly baked puff pastry lives up to its name, with a crispy crust and delicious fillings inside.
"Huh? Why are these food stores closed?"
Jiang Jiang asked curiously, wasn't it operating fine some time ago?
The stall owner naturally knew everything about his big customers. He pointed implicitly to Piaoxianglou not far away.
There was no need to say anything more, Jiang Jiang understood immediately.
However, no one can tell whether it is a blessing or a curse to establish a low-price restaurant monopoly before the drought comes.
As she passed by, Jiang Jiang looked at the crowded Piaoxianglou several times, but it was during these few glances that she saw an old friend.
Li Yaya?
Why is she here?
Jiang Jiang knew the man next to her. He was the second son of the Xu family and the young manager of Piaoxiang Tower.
Everything that happens has a reason.
Li Yaya, either be reborn or travel through time.
In Jiang Jiang's opinion, rebirth is more likely.
She still couldn't forget Li Yaya's hateful look at that time.
Jiang Jiang recalled the planting space she had obtained accidentally. Did she think that she had stolen the golden finger of the reborn heroine?
"That's Sister Yaya!"
Li Changyuan had sharp eyes and recognized that the person in the restaurant was Li Yaya.
However, Jiang Jiang had no intention of reminiscing with her, and he left in a hurry with his two children.
The next second after the three people left, Li Yaya looked out the door with a sense of something, but did not see anyone.
"Hey, isn't this Aunt Jiang? Why are you in town today?"
After avoiding Li Yaya, Jiang Jiang and his friends ran into Li Dahai who had just come out of the gambling house.
He was now completely different from the embarrassed look he had been in a while ago.
Her dark skin looked a little out of place in the white silk dress.
But Li Dahai didn't think so. He shouted at his younger brothers who were following him closely.
"This is my neighbor's aunt, Aunt Jiang."
"Hello, Aunt Jiang!"
"Hello, Aunt Jiang!"
Jiang Jiang protected Li Dongliang and Li Changyuan behind him. It is better for children not to have too much contact with the matters in the gambling house.
Li Dahai was unhappy when he saw this. He called Jiang Jiang "Aunt Jiang" to give her face, but she acted as if he was some kind of monster.
"Come on, Dongliang, Changyuan, I'll take you to have some fun!"
Li Changyuan and Li Dongliang held Jiang Jiang's hands tightly, feeling a little scared.
"Dahai, they are still young and have things to do at home, so we will leave first."
Li Dahai was a little disdainful. When Li Dongliang was his age, he could do everything from dice to tags.
"Forget it, forget it. You didn't come even though I was trying to make you rich. You deserve to be poor."
"I heard that you sold all your land and got several hundred taels of silver. You are not short of money. If you go to the gambling house, you may be able to double your money in one night."
As soon as Li Dahai said this, Jiang Jiang clearly felt that the eyes of several people around him lit up, as if they had discovered new prey.
It’s so unlucky, I shouldn’t have gone out today!
"I'm out of money. I just bought a shop near Piaoxianglou. It used to be a pastry shop. I'm really out of money now. Dahai, since I took care of you in the past, can you lend me some money?"
Did Jiang Jiang and his friends buy a shop? Near Piaoxianglou?
It seems that they really don't know anything.
Li Dahai smiled, but seeing that he could not get any more money from Jiang Jiang, he ignored her request for money and left with a few of his brothers.
Seeing that Li Dahai was full of bad intentions, Jiang Jiang became more and more certain that the incident at Piaoxianglou was related to Li Yaya.
As long as you don't bother her, Jiang Jiang won't meddle in other people's business.
"Come on, Dongliang, Changyuan, let's go home."
Li Dongliang and Li Changyuan were confused. They hadn't figured out what was going on yet. They just saw Nai Gulu Gulu saying a few words and making Li Dahai and the others run around in circles.
I learned another trick: show weakness to the enemy.
