Yipinzhai's business has been very good recently. Shopkeeper Liu thinks about it every day with his abacus, and his face is smiling more and more recently. Just after seeing off Master Li, Master Zhang came in with a few masters. "Please come in, please come in." Zuixianlou, which is on the same street, has been doing very poor business recently. The waiters in the store can sit and shoot flies.

"They have recently introduced new dishes. The masters and masters who usually come to our place have gone to Yipinzhai." The shopkeeper of Zuixianlou told his boss that Yipinzhai had taken their business. It was because Yipinzhai had taken their business that no one came to Zuixianlou recently.

"Master, I sent someone to check. A food stall on the pier delivers something called rice noodles to Yipinzhai every day. That food stall's business is also very good. I suspect it is they who gave Yipinzhai the recipes."

"Is this true?" Chen Guicai, who was as fat as a pig's head, was not a smart man. If he hadn't relied on his brother who married the county magistrate and became the county magistrate's wife, he would not have been able to open a restaurant in the town if he hadn't had a smart brother to help him.

In the past, Zuixianlou had good business. Chen Guicai was known as the brother-in-law of the county magistrate. Young men in the town would come to Zuixianlou for dinner. Some businessmen would also come here to build a good relationship with the brother-in-law of the county magistrate. Maybe if there was anything, they could ask the brother-in-law of the county magistrate to go to the county magistrate to say hello and get some convenience.

"It's true." said the shopkeeper.

"How can it be!" Chen Guicai slapped the table and jumped up.

They sent the fortune teller back to the town. It was almost noon when they came back. At this time, many people had come to the stall to eat.

At this time, three or five men came and sat at a table and ordered a table of food, many of which were meat. These guys looked a little unfamiliar, not like the men who worked at the dock and came to eat. Sun Ji paid special attention to their table.

One man gave his companion opposite him a look that only they could understand. Several men were still eating and drinking, and the food on the table was almost finished.

"Cockroach!" Niu Lao San took a cockroach out of the bowl, slapped it on the table, and shouted, "Someone come here, boss, there are cockroaches in your food, how dare you give such things to me, the master!"

"What? Cockroach!" The man at the same table stood up and shouted loudly.

Sun Ji had been keeping an eye on the people at this table. When he heard that cockroaches were found in the food, he hurried over and said with an apologetic smile, "Brothers, I'm afraid there must be some misunderstanding. The food in our stall is clean. There are absolutely no such things as cockroaches."

"Do you mean that we have wronged you?" Relying on his tall stature, the man glared at the boy standing in front of him, as if he would punch him if he dared to respond.

It was obvious that they had brought the cockroaches here themselves. Sun Ji kept smiling, and he was not afraid of the other person's big body. He glanced at the customers who were looking at them. He knew that arguing with them on this matter would only hurt his business, so he said, "How about this? I'll change the bowl for you and I won't charge you for this one."

"Master, am I here to take advantage of your bowl of food? You found a cockroach in your food, do you think you can just change the bowl? I tell you, it's impossible." After saying that, he turned over the table, "Brothers, smash this stall for me."

Cao Dapeng came over with a big spoon, spit on the ground, and cursed, "Bah, you are here to eat for free, and you brought that cockroach here yourself, and you still want to blame us."

Sun Ji was too old to stop Cao Dapeng.

"Boy, you are looking for death! Brothers, teach them a lesson for me." The tall man shouted.

The customers who were sitting on the stalls and eating saw that the situation was not right, so they ran away from their seats. In a moment, all the people on the stalls ran away.

There were many people standing nearby, watching them. Many of them had long been jealous of the good business of this food stall, but recently, because of the good business of this stall, their business has also improved. They were standing there with a worried look on their faces, pointing and complaining, but no one went to help.

They had seen this kind of thing many times. These people were obviously the local hooligans in the town, who specialized in this kind of freeloading.

"Hit them, smash their things for me, and teach them a lesson!"

These men took advantage of their numbers to bully the opponent who had fewer people, and they were here to cause trouble.

When the opponent's fist came over, Sun Ji hurriedly took a step back and barely avoided a fist.

"Who dares to grab my hand!" The man whose fist was grabbed turned his head and saw a big black face.

"Ai kiss!" Cao Gang exerted force with his hand and turned the other person over with one hand. With a snap, the other person fell to the ground.

Cao Dapeng, this big fool, was very strong. He waved the spoon in his hand around, and no one dared to approach him.

Sun Ji saw Cao Gang coming back and knocked a man down easily. He breathed a sigh of relief. He turned around and saw Cao Xiangnan who pushed through the crowd. Cao Xiangnan also saw Sun Ji standing there, walked over and asked, "What happened?"

"They are obviously here to cause trouble." Sun Ji told Cao Xiangnan what happened just now.

"Brother Cao Gang!" Seeing Cao Gang coming back, Cao Dapeng shouted in surprise.

Cao Gang had been knocked down by these people in a few moves, and his face was as black as King Yan who wanted to eat people. Some people lying on the ground were wailing, and one of them climbed up, pulled up the nearest partner, and wanted to run away.

"Pay money!" Cao Gang took a few big steps over, grabbed the person who was about to run away, and stretched out his hand to ask. Do you think you can just run away after making trouble? No way! Pay the money first.

"No, no..." The person who was just beaten still had a lingering fear on his face, and saw such a big black face, and he was about to cry.

"No?" Cao Gang grabbed his hand with great force and turned his hand over his back. He cried out in pain and asked, "Is there any?"

"Yes, yes, spare my life, sir." The man took out a bunch of copper plates from his arms and put them in the man's hand. Seeing that the man did not let him go, he took out all the copper plates on his body with a tearful face, "That's all I have."

"Get out! If I see you again, I will beat you up every time I see you!" Cao Gang threw the man away and said.

"Yes, yes, yes." Several people ran faster than rabbits and ran away in a flash.

Cao Xiangnan didn't know that Cao Gang's skills were so amazing, but thinking that it was not easy for this man to come back alive from the battlefield, but now he didn't have time to think too much about this matter.

Looking at the direction those people were leaving, Cao Xiangnan lowered his head and said something to Sun Ji.

"Okay." Sun Ji took the opportunity to get out of the crowd and walked in the direction those people were leaving.

Cao Xiangnan took a step forward and looked at the people standing there watching the excitement, and said loudly, "It's a misunderstanding, it's a misunderstanding, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you all, but those hooligans are here to cause trouble. Our stall has been open for business until now, and no one has found even a hair in the food, let alone cockroaches."

Their stall has been open for some time, and no one who has eaten here has ever found anything dirty. Someone responded, "Yes, yes, I've been having lunch here for so long and I haven't found any cockroaches."

"The food here is delicious and cheap, it's the best value." Someone stood up and said something fair.

Cao Xiangnan heard this, nodded to the two brothers, and said, "You are all old customers. I believe everyone knows whether our food is clean or not. The food is placed there, and the dishes are also cooked here. Everyone can see it. It's just a false surprise, just a false surprise."

"How about this, if you come to our place to eat today, you will get an extra portion of braised pork, and this pot of pork will be given away while it runs out." He walked over and picked up the lid of the pot of braised pork he was stewing, and a fragrance emanated.

Cao Dapeng and Cao Gang had already cleaned up the overturned table and put the table and chairs back in place.

When the man who often ate at this stall heard that there was meat for free, he quickly walked to the stall, took a look at the fragrant meat in the pot, swallowed his saliva, and asked, "Is it true?"

"Really, what would you like to eat, big brother?" Cao Xiangnan stood in front of the stall and took over Cao Dapeng's position, and asked with a smile.

The man who reacted immediately went to line up, and the ones who reacted slowly stood at the back of the line, and then they regretted it. The person in front ordered the dishes and left, and everyone was given a portion of meat. There was not much meat, but the taste was really good, and everyone who ate it looked very satisfied.

All of a sudden, the people who had gathered to watch the excitement went to buy food, and the crowd dispersed. People went back to their normal ways, and the place returned to its original state, except that there seemed to be more people lining up in front of the food stall.

Sun Ji followed the direction the people left, followed them into the alley, and followed them carefully. The people in front did not notice that someone was following them, and they swore all the way to the agreed place, where a boy in green clothes was already standing.

"Why did you take so long to get here? How did things go?" the man asked.

Several men were beaten black and blue. "Don't mention it. We were beaten by a demon. He also took away two taels of silver from me. You have to pay us back, and also pay for our medical expenses." These hooligans

were clearly trying to extort more money.

"Bah! You can't even handle this little thing and you want our money. You don't even ask who our superiors are. Be careful or we will make you pay for it." The boy said with a scornful look on his face. He

took out a piece of silver from his pocket and threw it over, saying, "That's all I have. Take it or leave it."

Then he turned and left.

Several men at the back looked at the boy. The tallest man spat on the ground and cursed, "You little bastard, you dare to stand in front of me before your hair grows out. Be careful or I'll beat you up!" He weighed the silver in his hand and saw that he had made some money. He said to the brothers behind him, "Let's go."

"Brother, is that it?" someone asked.

They were all beaten up.

After the men left, Sun Ji, who was standing against the corner of the wall, did not follow them. Instead, he looked in the direction the boy had just left. He recognized the clothes on the boy. He took a look, turned around and left.
