They also invested a lot of money in researching hot pot recipes.

And the results were remarkable.

Although its business is still not as good as Haidilao's.

However, based on their taste, they are second only to Haidilao in Yangdong Province.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible to expand to 23 stores in just two years.

Now that a restaurant with better taste than their Yang Family Hot Pot has appeared, it will definitely become an obstacle to the growth of the Yang Family.

If the person who runs the shop is just an ordinary person.

They could also use various means to ruin this hot pot restaurant and then get their hands on their recipe.

But ironically, the hot pot restaurant is run by the Cheng family's only son.

The Cheng family's foundation and connections are far deeper than those of the Yang family.

He was especially wary of the Tang family, which was his marriage alliance with the Cheng family.

Yang Yue said, "Dad, you can send someone to investigate and you'll find out!"

Yang Yujiang nodded, picked up his phone, dialed a number, and instructed, "Xiao Zhou, take some men to investigate a newly opened restaurant called Brothers Hot Pot on Huaibei Road, and then send me a report!"

After Yang Yujiang hung up the phone, Yang Yue said hesitantly, "Dad, I actually suspect that the Cheng family's recipe might have come from my classmate Gao Yan!"

Why would you say that?

Yang Yujiang asked.

Yang Yue smiled wryly: "Because Gao Yan and Cheng Hao are very close, and this Monday, Gao Yan came to me wanting to sell me a hot pot base recipe. But at the time, I didn't take it seriously and thought he was just trying to chat me up. Then, less than a week later, Cheng Hao opened a hot pot restaurant. He must have found that Gao Yan's recipe was very good, which is why he had the idea of ​​opening a hot pot restaurant!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Yujiang looked thoughtful: "Here's what we'll do: tomorrow you go and contact Gao Yan first. If he really has the formula, we'll find a way to get it. After all, the Cheng family only has one store now, while we have 23. Once we have the same formula, we'll have an absolute advantage!"

"Okay, Dad, I understand!"

Yang Yue nodded, feeling quite confident in her own charm.
