Shen Anan glanced at her, turned around and ignored her.
Being ignored, Shen Xiuxiu was not in a hurry. She pointed at the restaurant across the street and said, "I saw that the business across the street wasn't that good before. How come it seems to be doing better than yours now?"
Having said that, she walked up to Shen Anan.
"There's something I haven't told you. Do you know why the business of the store across the street is so good? It was my idea..."
Keep your voice down.
He narrowed his eyes and stared straight at Shen Anan.
One second, two seconds, three seconds.
She wanted to see Shen Anan's frightened expression, but found that the other party had no reaction at all.
Not even a hint of emotion on his face? !
Clench your teeth.
"You seem to be able to remain calm now, but in a few days, I'll see if you can still be so indifferent!"
After Shen Xiuxiu finished speaking, she turned around and left.
But just as she stepped out of the restaurant, a voice came from behind her -
"Thank you for telling me. It was your idea to open the restaurant across the street. Now I don't have to worry about it."
There was a hint of ease in Shen Anan's voice.
Shen Xiuxiu turned her head and stared at her.
However, Shen Anan just smiled slightly, as if she really didn't take her seriously at all.
"You talk nicely, but sooner or later you'll cry!"
Shen Xiuxiu clenched her fists, said this, and left angrily.
"What should we do? Looking at her expression, she really is determined to close our restaurant..."
Old Zhou's wife was very worried.
This is the first time in two years that business has been so bad.
Moreover, in the past two days, it can only barely maintain a balance between income and expenditure. If it continues like this, I'm afraid it will really go bankrupt!
"An An, how about we lower the price as well?"
This is the only solution that Lao Zhou's wife could think of.
When it comes to the quality of the dishes and the attitude, she is very confident, the only problem is the price.
If you are willing to lower the price, maybe you can win back the customers!
However, Shen Anan shook his head.
“We raised our prices before, firstly to avoid people thinking that we were the only one taking over all the restaurant business in the south of the city, and secondly to select our customers.
Our store is now gradually moving towards the mid- to high-end market. If we lower the prices now, then our previous price increases will be meaningless.
Most importantly, our costs are not low.
Not to mention that our price can’t be lower than theirs, even if we use the same price as them, we can’t do it. ”
After hearing this, Yang Qiuju, who was sitting next to her, frowned.
"The most expensive thing is the medicinal materials. We get our medicinal materials from the small river. And you are a special case, An An. They offer the lowest price. You can't find medicinal materials cheaper than this price in the whole Hecheng. So where do the medicinal materials for the restaurant opposite come from?"
Shen Anan sighed.
This is what she has been unable to figure out these past two days.
The restaurant across the street sets its prices so that it loses money on every sale. It's impossible for it to make any profit.
Could it be that they would rather lose money than not sell her store?
Or is there something wrong with this medicinal ingredient?
Looking at the worried looks of her mother-in-law and Lao Zhou's wife, Shen Anan knew that she couldn't do nothing.
After asking them to help look after the store first, she went to see her teacher, Dr. Zeng.
"Hey! An An, you are so busy with your business, how can you still have time to play chess with an old man like me?"
When Dr. Zeng saw Shen Anan, all the seriousness he had towards the chessboard disappeared, and a rare look of kindness appeared on his face.
He saw that this disciple was no different from his own granddaughter.
"Teacher, I have something I want to ask you and a few uncles for help..."
Shen Anan mentioned that the prices of therapeutic meals at the restaurant opposite were ridiculously low, and hoped that Dr. Zeng and others could help go over and see if there were any problems with the medicinal materials.
If there is no problem, she will have to see how to organize some activities to regain business.
If you have any questions...
Dr. Zeng and several old men who were playing chess all agreed.
It was impossible not to agree. Over the past few years, Shen Anan brought a bunch of tea every time she came, and also sent some food and drinks during the holidays. The old man treated her like his own granddaughter.
Dr. Zeng took people to the restaurant opposite Shen Anan’s store.
When I walked in, I saw that the decoration of this restaurant was quite similar to Shen Anan's store, but the details were obviously much rougher.
After Dr. Zeng and his companions sat down, the proprietress hurried forward and handed them the menu.
enthusiasm!
The menu lists dishes made with various medicinal herbs, and they are exactly the same as those at Shen Anan's.
After taking a quick look, Dr. Zeng ordered a few relatively special therapeutic dishes.
After a while, the ordered dishes were served one after another, and they looked pretty good.
However, after taking a few bites, Dr. Zeng's face darkened.
There is a problem!
In one of the dishes advertised as nourishing and healthy, the wolfberries used were abnormally bright red, far from the normal dark red color, and were obviously over-processed with sulfur fumigation.
Doctor Zeng frowned. "There's something wrong with these wolfberries. Normal wolfberries should be a natural dark red color with a little sweetness, but the color of these wolfberries seems a little too bright. I guess they have been treated with sulfur..."
The next moment, he tried a soup that claimed to replenish qi and blood.
As soon as he took a sip, he quickly spat it out.
The smell of angelica in the soup was extremely pungent, far from the normal medicinal aroma.
Doctor Zeng carefully identified it.
"The angelica smell is too strong and has a weird taste. It is probably made from inferior or even adulterated raw materials!"
The few people who followed him tried it, but didn't feel any big problems. They frowned, a little confused.
After Dr. Zeng paid the bill, he led a few people around for a few times before entering the small room where Shen Anan treated people.
And Shen Anan had been waiting for a long time.
"I've tried it before. I ordered three dishes, and two of them had problems with the medicinal ingredients, but these problems are not something that ordinary people can detect."
Dr. Zeng stated his conclusion.
After Shen Anan heard this, her eyes darkened.
This means that if you are not a professional, you cannot identify the problematic medicinal materials at all.
Ordinary people are likely to get into trouble if they eat these problematic herbs, not to mention people who eat dietotherapy meals, most of whom have some health problems. It is foreseeable what the consequences will be for these people if they eat these problematic herbs...
"This is simply murder for money!"
Shen Anan gritted his teeth.
She thought that the restaurant opposite was at most losing money to gain publicity, but she never expected that the restaurant opposite would do such a thing in order to make money!
Human life is at stake!
"Teacher, I'll need you to help collect evidence tomorrow. I'll contact the police then."
"No problem! This store is really crazy!"
Doctor Zeng slammed the table.
What he hated most in his life were those people who would do anything for money!
However, the next day, before Dr. Zeng and Shen Anan could act separately, something went wrong...
