Unlimited estates for rural beauty-Chapter 138 Poisoning to Redeem Someone (5)

Watching as Shopkeeper Chen left, Feng Xuxu also departed, boarding the carriage and heading straight for the mountain villa.

By noon the next day, just as Feng Xuxu had predicted, the new dish was a hit. Within a short hour, all the ingredients prepared for the day were sold out, making the Shopkeeper beam with joy, repeatedly saying how great the strategy was for attracting customers.

Days passed peacefully, the number of patrons at the restaurant not only didn’t decrease but actually increased considerably, many of whom came from various towns.

The waiters from the restaurant opposite Zuiyun Pavilion often ran to the entrance to check on the situation, only to return with a gloomy face.

"Big brother, just waiting here isn’t solving anything. Ever since the restaurant across the street opened, our customers have all gone over there," Zhao Quan said with a sigh.

"So what do you suggest we do? It’s not like I can go over there and snatch their customers by force," Zhao Peng snapped at his brother in anger.

"I didn’t tell you to go over there and rob them of their customers. We should think of a solution!" Zhao Quan shouted back, also getting angry at his brother.

"Think? Think of what? That restaurant across started offering new dishes the day before yesterday and us? When was the last time we did that?" Zhao Peng slumped into the chair.

Zhao Quan looked at his brother’s defeated expression and sat down, his brows furrowed in thought. If their plan were to succeed, then...

"Big brother, if it doesn’t work out, we could always..." Zhao Quan whispered a few words into his brother’s ear. Zhao Peng’s face instantly turned pale, and sweat began to trickle down his cheeks.

"No, absolutely not, that’s out of the question. If we failed, the entire family would be ruined," Big brother Zhao Peng disagreed with his brother’s suggestion. It was too dangerous.

"Then what do you propose we do, big brother? We can’t just watch our restaurant go down without a fight," Zhao Quan knew that if they really did that, success meant wealth, but failure meant death.

"Let me think about it, don’t bring this up again," Zhao Peng lifted the teacup from the table and gulped it down in one go.

After being busy for a few days, Feng Xuxu stayed at the mountain villa that day and didn’t go anywhere else. Alone, she left the villa and headed toward Spiritual Mountain.

Stepping onto Spiritual Mountain, she walked while watching the little trees slowly budding, heralding the arrival of spring. Birds flew freely in the sky, an utterly pleasant sight. She called out Xiaobai from her space: "Xiaobai, how many large wild animals are there on this mountain?"

"There are quite a few wolves, deep in the mountains, and plenty of wild boars too. There are a few tigers, I guess, but I haven’t seen anything else," Xiaobai honestly lay on Feng Xuxu’s shoulder.

"Tigers? Are they as big as you?" She tapped Xiaobai’s tiger head and asked with growing interest.

"Of course not, I am a Divine Beast. Don’t compare me with those animals," Xiaobai said, wrinkling its cute nose and rolling its eyes.

Hahaha, this Xiaobai, so proud and tsundere.

"Alright, my mistake," Feng Xuxu said, shaking her head with a smile before suddenly having an idea: "Xiaobai, what if we capture these wild animals, train them after bringing them into my space, and then distribute them to other places to guard our properties? What do you think?" Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Xiaobai. Xiaobai just had a blank expression as if thinking her sister was turning her space into a training battlefield.

"I’ll try," said Xiaobai, lying listlessly over her shoulder.

"Xiaobai is the best, here’s a kiss for you!" She leaned in and planted a kiss on Xiaobai’s tiger face.

After wandering outside for half the day, she slowly returned to the villa.

"Butler, send someone to invite Village Chief Feng and Village Chief Luo over later, I have something to discuss," Feng Xuxu instructed upon reaching the front courtyard, where she saw the butler crouching in the garden, directing the house servants to water the plants.
