Mu Shuangshuang talked about a book all morning and received enthusiastic applause from everyone.

As noon approached, Mu Shuangshuang stopped and said to the people inside and outside the restaurant’s main hall, "To be honest, there’s an extra event today. I also have something to promote!

Our Chengfeng Restaurant has created a new dish today, and we want everyone to try it. Of course, since it’s a new dish, I’m naturally a bit anxious.

So I’d like to ask everyone to be judges and help me taste it for free. If it’s delicious, visit Chengfeng Restaurant more often to support us. Consider it my thanks to you all!"

After saying this, Mu Shuangshuang made a respectful gesture to everyone!

Upon hearing there was free food, the crowd got excited immediately.

The waiter also used a small cart to bring out a whole barrel of snails.

With so many people, Mu Shuangshuang could only let them spread out and line up to taste it one by one.

The long-lost queues reappeared outside Chengfeng Restaurant.

Everyone craned their necks to see what was happening inside.

The taste of the snails was unbelievably fragrant!

Those inside ate till their faces turned red, enjoying it thoroughly.

Those outside were drooling with craving.

The inevitable result of this situation was that the restaurant across the street fell into chaos, even beggars didn’t want to linger there.

The sound of eating snails conquered everyone present.

Many people wanted to stay at Chengfeng Restaurant for a meal and order an extra plate of snails.

But Mu Shuangshuang refused, saying she had only prepared one barrel today. If they wanted more, they should come early the next day for a fresh batch!

In this way, the desire in everyone’s hearts was sparked.

Almost instantly the reputation was established, and by the next day, many people came to town specifically to eat the snails.

But before lunchtime, they ran out.

Snails costing fifteen coins a bowl became the town’s gourmet talk!

The popularity didn’t die down for ten whole days!

...

Xia Guagua was about to go crazy; she watched as Chengfeng Restaurant was packed daily while her restaurant didn’t even attract a single fly!

No matter how much she lowered the prices, no one wanted to come.

In the end, Xia Guagua decided to let customers eat for free for three days.

She thought this would attract many customers.

As a result, beggars from the entire town and even neighboring towns heard about it and came to eat and drink for free!

Naturally, Xia Guagua didn’t want her good place being trashed by a bunch of beggars.

So, Xia Guagua instructed her staff to kick out the beggars and called everyone in the restaurant out for a scolding!

"Do you remember the promises you made to me? Do good work for me, attract customers for me, defeat the restaurant across the street!

What’s the result? I paid you, but not only did you fail to bring customers, you even scared away the ones I had. How do you explain this to me?"

Xia Guagua was definitely not going to admit there was anything wrong with her management style.

She only said it was everyone else’s fault, not hers!

The few messengers dared not speak, feeling resentful inside.

Being scolded like dogs every day, no amount of pay would make them happy.

Might as well have applied to the place across the street earlier.

The business over there was booming, certainly the staff there were making good money too!

"Owner, it’s not our fault, that stubborn girl came up with a dish no one around here has ever seen.

You know that people in town love new things. If we also come up with a new dish, customers will surely come back!"

Ma Jun was quite articulate, and he was good at shirking responsibility.

With just a few words, he completely absolved himself of responsibility.

While others’ responsibilities were infinitely magnified!

Coincidentally, Xia Guagua bought it, thinking Ma Jun had a point!

"You’re right, but the cooking part is Mu Tou’s responsibility!

I spent so much money to dig him over, you’re aware of it too. Now that he can’t do what we agreed upon, let him go! I want to find a better chef!" 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Xia Guagua said.

"Owner, I actually have a good idea! That Mu Tou, isn’t he from over there? We might as well..."

Accompanied by a scream, Mu Tou was pushed out from Xia Guagua’s restaurant.

Mu Tou fell to the ground, his clothes and luggage were thrown down, scattered all over!

Xia Guagua pointed at Mu Tou and said, "Hmph, useless thing, can’t even cook a dish. You trash, go die!"

"If I see you in front of Chengfeng Restaurant again, I’ll take your worthless life!"

On the street, a man being yelled at in the face by a woman was embarrassing no matter who you are.

Mu Tou couldn’t help but cover his face with his hand, which became another reason for Xia Guagua to attack him.

"Cover what? Don’t want everyone to know how you came to our restaurant? People like you, hmph, I don’t even want what others rejected!"

After humiliating Mu Tou, Xia Guagua ordered the restaurant staff to beat Mu Tou into a pulp, covering him with bruises!

At the entrance of Chengfeng Restaurant, staff who saw Mu Tou’s miserable condition immediately reported to Mu Shuangshuang.

After listening, Mu Shuangshuang snorted with a laugh.

She didn’t say anything more, just instructed the staff to leave.

Yu Dahai happened to be there too. Seeing Mu Shuangshuang’s expression, he couldn’t help but ask, "Shuangshuang, do you have any ideas?"

"That Mu Tou, he’s probably up to no good, like a weasel wishing the chickens a happy New Year!" Mu Shuangshuang replied.

"Do you mean this is their ploy? Does Mu Tou want to return to our restaurant?"

Yu Dahai asked, furrowing his brow.

"Naturally! Xia Guagua opened her restaurant with dishonest methods. Initially, she overpowered us because her dishes, décor, and even the name copied ours.

Of course, some people would want to try something new, combined with lower prices, which attracted quite a lot of customers!

But in a restaurant, the most crucial thing is the skill of the chef, and we both know how Mu Tou learned the restaurant’s specialty dishes!

He didn’t master it at all, the taste is far from ours.

A couple of times is fine, but over time, he couldn’t retain customers because there were always those who aren’t swayed merely by low prices!"

Mu Shuangshuang’s analysis seemed reasonable and firm.

Yu Dahai listened and felt it made a lot of sense!

"Since I stole Xia Guagua Restaurant’s business, naturally she’s unhappy and wants to retaliate against me, but what’s the best method?" Mu Shuangshuang asked.

"It’s naturally letting Mu Tou come back to Chengfeng Restaurant again, learn the authentic dishes, and then return to the other side to attract customers!" Yu Dahai said.

Mu Shuangshuang gave Yu Dahai a look as if to say ’you’re smart’!

Just as they finished discussing, the initial messenger Ah Cai came back up.

This time, he said, "Owner, Mu Tou... Mu Tou wants to see you, he says, he says you must see him!"
