"No... It's bad, Boss!"

"That...that Yuan Qiu, has brought people here to cause trouble again!"

At 4:45 PM, Hua Qingcheng, having finished her breakfast, came to the counter of the shop and bustled about. Zhang San, who was out delivering food nearby, suddenly ran over from outside the shop, breathlessly reporting to her.

"Yuan Qiu? Again?"

"So this person has come here to cause trouble before?"

Hua Qingcheng's face was slightly cold, and her eyes narrowed dangerously, like a wolf locating its prey.

"Yes, the afternoon before yesterday."

Zhang San said with lingering fear.

"The afternoon before yesterday?"

Hua Qingcheng glanced coldly at the shop entrance. The afternoon before yesterday, only Situ Ye and the shop assistants were in the shop...

"Yes, sir. The other afternoon, around 6:30 PM, Yuan Qiu brought 20 strong women armed with sticks to collect protection money. They wanted Master Situ to hand over 80% of the shop's daily income to her."

"Protection money? 80% of your daily income? Hehe..."

Hua Qingcheng's mouth twitched slightly when she heard this. There was actually someone who was so impatient with life that he collected protection fees from her.

"Who is this Yuan Qiu? A thug?"

Hua Qingcheng narrowed her sharp eyes slightly, and tapped the index and middle fingers of her right hand lightly on the table from time to time.

"Boss, this Yuan Qiu is the eldest daughter of the Yuan Family Martial Arts School in Fufeng County. She relies on her martial arts skills to bully the common people. She is the number one bully in Yunshui Town."

"Yuan Qiu often collects protection fees from shops in town. She also owns a number of shops, several of which are also dim sum shops."

"Since our shop opened, business has been booming, and theirs has been affected to some extent. Yuan Qiu brought people to ask for protection money, but Master Situ refused."

"Hmm. And then?"

Hua Qingcheng picked up the tea on the table and took a few sips. Although she still looked relaxed and at ease on the outside, her inner anger was actually rising rapidly.

But why didn't Erlang tell her anything about Yuan Qiu?

"Then Yuan Qiu scolded Master Situ, 'If you don't accept my toast, you'll have to drink the penalty wine.' Furious and embarrassed, Yuan Qiu ordered her men to beat Master Situ."

"Beat Erlang..."

Hua Qingcheng clenched her fists immediately, and her fingers creaked.

"No, he didn't hit her. In addition, Master Situ grabbed Yuan Qiu by the back of her collar, dragged her out of the store and dumped her in front of the store."

Hua Qingcheng: ...

When did Erlang become so brave?

"Then what?"

"Then Yuan Qiu got angry and challenged Master Situ, but was defeated."

Hua Qingcheng: ...

"That's not all. Yuan Qiu then ordered her thugs to attack Master Situ."

"Besiege Jilang..."

Hua Qingcheng's face turned gloomy and full of murderous intent when she heard this.

"Even if they were besieged, so what? They were still beaten to the ground by Master Situ, crying and screaming, unable to fight back."

Zhang San's pair of bright eyes suddenly sparkled with admiration.

Hua Qingcheng: ...

"Are you sure the person you just mentioned is Master Situ Ye?"

"Of course, Boss. Could it be that there is another Master Situ in our shop?"

"Oh? It's really... impressive!"

Hua Qingcheng snorted in her heart, this Erlang is really a hidden talent!

"Okay, what did you mean when you said Yuan Qiu brought people here to cause trouble again?"

"It's like this, sir. I just went out to the next street to deliver something and happened to run into Yuan Qiu gathering a group of people, saying they were going to come and mess with us. I was afraid they would come and do something bad again, so I ran back to report to you, sir."

"Well, thank you for your hard work, Zhang San. I already know what you are doing. Go and do your own thing first!"

"Yes, Boss."

Seeing that Hua Qingcheng had an idea in mind, Zhang San continued to get busy.

While Hua Qingcheng was thinking, a group of people suddenly rushed in from outside. However, they were not strong thugs, but men dressed in silk and satin, ranging from teenagers to those in their twenties and thirties. It was a large group of at least forty or fifty people.

"Is this the place? I heard the food here is very special, everyone come and try it."

"Boss, give me a bowl of four-fruit soup.

"I want an ice cream."

"I don't want an iced drink, I want fries."

"Give me a glass of iced sour plum soup."

…

A group of people each ordered something, and then everyone occupied a table in the store and ate slowly.

"Boss..."

Zhang San became worried when he saw this. They took up all the seats and did not allow other customers to share the table with them, which would seriously affect the business of the store.

"No problem."

"Let's see what tricks they play."

Hua Qingcheng looked at the group of people with cold eyes.

About a quarter of an hour later...

"Ouch! My stomach!"

A man about twenty years old suddenly started howling, clutching his stomach while howling:

"God damn, what a heartless shop owner. The things they sell are unclean, poisonous, and can kill people."

As he spoke, he made a vomiting gesture.

As if to confirm what he said, the people who had just ordered food either lay down on the tables and chairs, or sat on the ground, and a few even lay down on the ground pretending to be dead.

"What should we do, Boss?"

Seeing the customers in the store showing expressions of shock and fear after seeing those people's behavior, Zhang San and Li Si couldn't help but worry. If they were to disrupt the business like this, not only would their business be ruined, but their reputation would also be damaged.

"Cold salad!"

Hua Qingcheng's mouth twitched slightly. Since they like to pretend to be sick so much, then find someone with excellent medical skills to treat them.

"Zhang San, go to the backyard room and invite Master Han over. Remember to ask him to bring his medicine box with him."

"Yes, Boss."

Zhang San quickly went to the backyard to find Han Yichen, who was studying medicine, and brought his precious medicine box with him.

"Dear guests, please rest assured that the food in our shop is made according to the highest hygiene standards and there will be absolutely no safety issues."

Hua Qingcheng glanced at the chaotic crowd and continued, "As for what's wrong with these people, why not ask a doctor to take a look?"

"What a coincidence! Our shop happens to have a miraculous doctor from Xuanyi Valley. He can cure these people's ailments with just a wave of his hand. I guarantee that everyone will see them full of life again in no time."

"Doctor Han, I'm going to trouble you now! These young masters and husbands are so delicate, you have to examine them carefully and seriously to find out what illnesses they have."

In order to improve her image, Hua Qingcheng made up a story about Han Yichen's origin, but she didn't know that she was right by accident.
