Chapter 307: Jade Drink

She immediately laughed, "Okay, okay. I've been so busy bonding with the city's rich ladies lately that I've forgotten about this little bitch."

She has been very busy recently. Her father is busy building relationships with wealthy officials in the city, and she has to get closer to the daughters of those families.

Today you hold a flower banquet, tomorrow she holds a poetry reading, and the day after tomorrow she holds a tea tasting. You can't wear the clothes you wore last time, and you have to buy new jewelry.

After all this time, she had just finished preparing her outfit for this event when the invitation to the next banquet arrived at her home. She was so busy that she had no time to rest.

That is to say, recently those noble ladies have all gone to Qinghuan Street to join in the fun and listen to "Journey to the West", so they have some free time.

She originally planned to go shopping and buy some things, and when she was tired, she would go to her own restaurant to try the signature dishes, but she didn't expect to get a surprise.

Sang Anzhu has no other advantages except that she holds grudges.

She would forget the kindness others showed her as soon as she turned around, but if someone embarrassed her, she would never forget it and would definitely take revenge.

She had thought that Sang Yu's family must be living an extremely difficult and miserable life, but she had not expected that she would dare to come to them on her own initiative.

Sang Anzhu stared at Chuntao with a burning gaze: "What is she wearing? Does she look poor? Skinny?"

Chun Tao felt a chill run down her spine under her fiery gaze, and stuttered as she replied, "No, no, I'm dressed neatly, and I've grown taller and fatter than before."

There were some things she didn't dare say. Judging from her perspective, the Second Young Lady was clearly in better shape than when she was in the capital. She looked fair and tender, with no sign of illness at all. One could tell at a glance that she was living a good life.

Sang Anzhu twisted the tender flesh on Chuntao's arm with all his might, his silver teeth creaking as he bit it: "Did you get sand in your eyes and see things?"

How could that little bitch Sang Yu have a good life? Her family should have to compete with wild dogs for food in the mud.

The pain from the tender flesh on her arm was piercing. Chuntao instinctively wanted to avoid it, but her reason made her grit her teeth and stand still, letting the other party do what he wanted.

After venting some of her anger on Chuntao, Sang Anzhu's gaze slowly fell on the door of Sang's Restaurant, where she saw a familiar figure - her second uncle Sang Yongnian.

Considering that Sang Yu had just left and her second uncle walked out of the restaurant, it was hard for her not to connect the two things together. Could it be that her second uncle had been secretly helping Sang Yu's family?

"Chun Tao, go and find out the whole story for me."

Sang Anzhu's simple words made Chuntao almost run herself to pieces. She couldn't ask Sang Yu or Sang Yongnian directly, so she could only ask the servants at home and the waiters in the restaurant.

It is not clear whether the two of them often interacted with each other, but she did manage to find out some incredible news.

After listening to Chuntao's report, Sang Anzhu raised her bright red lips slightly and sneered, "Second Uncle is really willing to invest in the shop on Qinghuan Street."

She didn't go out for a stroll very often, but she had heard of Qinghuan Street. How much would it cost to buy a shop on that street?

Even the Sang family today would have a hard time coming up with that kind of money. How could a mere useless person like Sang Yu earn that much in such a short time? He was just kidding.

She was afraid that her good second uncle had embezzled the money and secretly embezzled the income from the restaurant and cloth shop and used it for Sang Yu.

Sang Anzhu thought she had guessed the truth, but she knew nothing about business and had no idea how much the restaurant and cloth shop could earn each month, how much they should earn, and how much Sang Yongnian should embezzle to save enough money for Sang Yu to open a store.

In her opinion, this store was not opened by Sang Yu, that little bitch who was good for nothing except her sharp tongue, with her own money.

"You go..." Sang Anzhu beckoned Chuntao to come over, but just as he was about to say that, he felt something was wrong and shook his head slightly, "Forget it, you can't handle this, I'll go myself."

She acted like a spoiled child and made all kinds of excuses to get five hundred taels of silver from her mother, and then she rented the shop opposite the Pearl Drink Shop.

"Hey, why did the rouge shop across the street change its sign?" After delivering today's manuscript, Sang Yu saw a new sign hanging with red cloth across the street. Did the owner change?

"They closed last night to change the sign. They seemed to be in a hurry. When I left, I saw the lights on inside. I guess they will open today." Liu Mao glanced at it and answered casually.

He didn't take this matter to heart. There were many people and shops on Qinghuan Street, and the shops were replaced very quickly.

Although I've never seen a place renovated overnight like the one across the street, it's understandable. After spending a large sum of money to rent or buy a place, people are always eager to open it and make a profit.

"Oh, let's see what kind of store it is later." Sang Yu nodded slightly. She also didn't take this matter to heart. She was just a little curious.

However, when the auspicious time arrived, accompanied by the sound of firecrackers and the lifting of the red cloth on the opposite sign, her face changed immediately.

There were three big words written on the sign - Jade Drink.

If someone told Sang Yu that a new sweet drink shop had opened across the street, she would definitely not care too much, because she was confident in the products in her own shop.

But once the name of the other party's store was revealed, it was obvious that they were targeting her.

She asked Xiaotao, who was often busy in the kitchen and rarely seen in public, to take a look across the street. Sure enough, she found that the menu of pearl drinks in the store opposite was almost a one-to-one replica.

Now, without asking any more questions, she could guess who was targeting her.

Sang Yu is not someone who likes to make enemies everywhere. When faced with someone who may pose a threat to her, she will either try to win him over as much as possible or get rid of him as soon as possible.

Who else but her uncle could come up with such a disgusting idea?

Sang Yu was not in a hurry about this and continued to promote the takeaway business and draw maps.

In addition, she also gave Liu Maoduo a few words of advice - if anyone wants to leave, let them go, but one month's salary will be deducted.

She even opened a shop across the street. She didn't believe that the other party would leave the shop assistants alone. Poaching people and stealing their skills has never been uncommon since ancient times.

There are only seven people in the store. Sang Yongjing and Sang Xingjia came to help when the store was busiest, so they can start working right away without any instruction.

She and Liu Mao are responsible for the kitchen affairs. The employees who take orders in the front can start their work after a simple training in recognizing Arabic numerals, knowing the wording and service attitude.

Even if all seven people ran away, it would not have a big impact on the pearl drink. There would just be a hectic period of adaptation.

Moreover, because each person has a specific job, the division of responsibilities is quite clear, and there is no need to spend a lot of effort to sort out the mess left by the previous person.

If we had to say which of the seven employees would be most hurtful to Pearl Drink if they were poached, it would definitely be the two in the kitchen.

But Sang Yu had been prepared. The white sugar she had prepared in advance had already been used for some time. If someone else imitated her, could they really sell it at the same price as her at twice the cost?
