Competition among peers is unavoidable, and it seems a little unkind to use despicable means.

The shopkeeper of Qingpinfang is also a young woman, who can speak well without saying a word, and is also very good at attracting customers. The worst dim sum sold in the evening is bundled with other good ones. Buy two and get one free. The effect is very good significantly.

After staring at the Qingpinfang for a few days, Lu Xiyue found out that the items that could not be sold out in one day would be sold as freshly made snacks the next day.

Qipin Xiangzhai's business has been bleak for a few days, and finally there are signs of improvement on the day of new products.

Lu Xiyue's French fries are made of potatoes, one piece is wrapped in paper, and one piece costs six cents, and you can add persimmon sauce for another one cent, and it tastes better when eaten with dipping sauce.

It is very simple to make French fries from potatoes. The difficult part is the extraction of cornstarch. Fortunately, there are cornfields nearby. She harvested a lot of fresh corn, peeled it into grains, soaked it for about three days, and finally crushed it with a stone mill. into corn syrup.

Put the corn syrup into the fine gauze to settle for two hours, then dry the wet starch and store it.

The process is very simple. She made four large earthen jars at one time, enough for half a year.

Dim sum might be able to get a rough idea. The french fries have no corn starch, no matter how cooked they are fried, they will not be crispy, and if they have no texture, customers will not buy it. This time, she wants to see how they copy it.

Sure enough, the French fries had only been out for three days, and the opposite Qingpinfang did the same, making potato cakes with almost the same shape, and the price was still the same as before, which was a penny lower than theirs.

I and Lu Xiyue guessed right, the people in Qingpinfang didn't know what the layer of flour she wrapped on the French fries was, they just thought it was ordinary flour, and the color of fried flour was obviously darker than the ones in their shop. Not as crisp as Qipin Xiangzhai.

It can be said that it took about half a cup of tea out of the pot, and the potato cakes in Qingpinfang changed from crispy French fries to soft cakes. The pieces were pressed together and tasted soft, and the taste was not good when dipped in sauce.

Lu Xiyue struck while the iron was hot, and soon made homemade soufflé. The soft and dense bread melted in the mouth, and the aroma of egg white lingered between her lips and teeth. It was so delicious that it was mouth-watering.

Comparing the two, you can see clearly that the business of Qingpinfang has plummeted. Of course, this is just the beginning.

Lu Xiyue was busy from morning till night, she was so tired that she was really overwhelmed, so she planned to hire someone to help.

Naturally, I don't recruit people here. I don't know why, if it is an undercover agent sent by a colleague, wouldn't she be helping them train pastry chefs for nothing.

When she returned to Dashan Village, the first person she looked for was Aunt Wang. Aunt Wang was a good cook, she could use all her strength, and she was a master at kneading dough.

Besides Aunt Wang, there is also Aunt Zhou.

Hearing that her shop was recruiting, Pan Dalang's daughter-in-law Han Shi came to the door with two fish.

It was also a coincidence that when Lu Xiyue was about to leave, she bumped into her head on.

"Miss Lu, this is going to the market." Han's pace quickened, with an earnest smile on his face.

"Yes." Lu Xiyue replied.

Without further words, Mrs. Han didn't feel embarrassed, so she stepped forward and handed the fish to her: "That's also a coincidence, my old Pan just caught two fresh saury in the east lake, Mrs. Lu took them to taste."

The two fish in her hand are big and fat, and they can jump.

Ever since the opening of the fruit drink shop, Lu Xiyue didn't have a good impression of these two couples. , as the saying goes, if you have nothing to go to the Three Treasures Hall, presumably you want to ask her.

Lu Xiyue thought about recruiting people in the shop.

"How embarrassing is this, sister-in-law should keep it for herself." She refused with a smile.

If it were someone else, she might still think about it. As for the Han family, last time the fruit drink shop opened, the business was bleak. They gloated, and even pointed at Aunt Wang and the others for a good meal of ridicule.

Later, the students had a good opinion and wanted to intervene again.

Seemingly unaware of the alienation and indifference in her words, Mrs. Han went to grab her hand: "What's so embarrassing, it's just two fish from a fellow villager."

"Sister-in-law, it's really not necessary. I still have something to do in the shop, so I have to go now." Lu Xiyue quietly hid, turned around and ran away.

Mrs. Han was holding the fish in her hand and wanted to chase after her, but the girl waved at her: "Sister-in-law, take the fish back, I'll go first, you can do what you want."

Seeing people walk away, the smile on Han's face instantly sank, his eyes narrowed, his face was ugly.

The door of the house is closed, so she can do whatever she wants.

The smelly girl really didn't know what to do, and she didn't know how to open the door to let her in, so she left.

Han's goal was not achieved, and he rushed out of the yard with the fish in his hand.

Back on the street, Xiao Yunheng and Xie Zhizhou found a piece of news.

The female shopkeeper of Qingpinfang is from the Ji family, and is a distant relative with the eldest son of the Ji family. In addition, they also found out that this female shopkeeper joined the eldest son of Ji ten days ago.

Since he was defecting, how could he have the money to open a shop on him, that is to say, the shop was opened by Ji's family.

The corners of Lu Xiyue's lips twitched lightly, and her smile was cold: "I almost forgot about it, and I don't know if the eldest son of the Ji family has chased the young lady back."

Xiao Yunheng answered calmly: "I have inquired with the servants of the Ji family, and the two have already discussed the matter of reconciliation, but the Ji family has not agreed."

Xie Zhizhou didn't understand what the two of them were talking about about the Ji family, and it seemed that it had something to do with Lu Xiyue.

But this time, he sat by the side and listened quietly, without any intention of interrupting.

"So, the Ji family has a grudge against me and wants to take revenge on me."

Xiao Yunheng nodded coldly: "They did this because they wanted to suppress Qipin Xiangzhai."

As long as the business is not good and losses continue day by day, the shop will close sooner or later. Not only that, but they can also get a lot of dim sum recipes, killing two birds with one stone.

Lu Xiyue took a sip of tea, thinking of the scene where the Ji family boss tried to keep Fang Ying away, she hummed softly: "He is not kind in his own way, and he doesn't allow others to say no. Fortunately, Fang Ying has a clear mind and didn't think about reconciling with him. good."

There is nothing good about spending a lifetime with such a calculating person, it is better to be alone.

"I don't know what the Ji family thinks. The dust has not yet settled, and they just want to take revenge on me, and don't even think about it. Only I can cure his disease."

Could it be that he was thinking of using the store to threaten her to see a doctor for Ji Jia Dalang.

However, her thinking like this is wrong.

In the main hall of the Ji family, the old lady was twisting the Buddhist beads, listening to several clan elders arguing endlessly about Mr. Ji's affairs, she had a headache.

Ji Jia Dalang was sitting on the right, his brows were furrowed, and his face full of worry was unshaven.

"Okay, I asked you to come here to find a way, not to argue about right and wrong here." The old lady couldn't bear it anymore and said.

The hall fell silent, several clan elders looked at each other, and one of them said, "No matter how you say this matter is Da Lang's fault, our Ji family can only bow our heads and be petty, and ask for forgiveness."
