Chapter 12 The Second Squid Dumpling
No matter what, Qin Tiantian was in a very good mood.
After returning home, she began to try on the new clothes. The texture and style of each piece were good, which could perfectly set off her slender figure and show off her figure.
Qin Tiantian took a photo in the mirror, slightly beautified it, added a filter, made it visible only to her former classmates, and posted it on her Moments.
【Little Stepmother Zhen Bupo, Happy New Year. 】
Of course, Xue Qi was blocked from this post and it was only visible to former classmates.
There were no likes below, but she just wanted to slap the faces of those classmates who wanted to see her being abused by her stepmother.
Once a little girl's vanity is aroused, it's out of control.
The next morning at breakfast, the girl found an angle to take pictures of the food, and after taking the pictures, she carefully processed them and posted them on WeChat Moments:
【Little stepmother's loving breakfast. 】
My former classmates saw two comments and said, “???”
Can Qin Tiantian’s stepmother be so good?
When Liu Ruyu was browsing the Moments, he first saw Qin Tiantian showing off her new clothes, and then he saw her showing off her stepmother's delicious food.
The breakfast was very exquisite, with milk heart-shaped fried eggs and fluffy crepes with honey. Just looking at the pictures makes people salivate.
Under the comments on the food, a few mutual friends liked it.
Liu Ruyu was not envious and felt that Qin Tiantian was just pretending to show off when she posted on WeChat Moments.
After all, people show off what they lack.
She didn't send it before, which means she didn't lack it before.
The fact that she is posting it now shows that it is in great demand.
In addition to yesterday's reminder from the golden finger, Qin Tiantian has now lost her trust in people. She must be in great pain inside right now, and definitely not as comfortable and at ease as she showed in her circle of friends.
She sneered and waited for Qin Tiantian to fail.

The popularity of the Happy Food Store has attracted the attention of Fan Jianren, the landlord of the food street.
Fan Jianren felt that it was a waste for Xue Qi to entertain only 50 guests every day. With the fame of the Happy Food Store, it would not be a problem to entertain 500 people every day.
Fan Jianren wanted to take back the Happy Food Store. He hired a chef to run the business and changed the name of "Happy Food Store" to "Happy Food Flagship Store." Opening it to customers every day, he was sure to make a killing! Since Happy Food Store hadn't applied for a trademark, there was nothing wrong with that.
Even if people get tired of eating it later, it won’t have much impact on him.
He had squeezed out the Happy Food Store's brand, so he could open another store.
However, if the store was taken back without reason, the amount of compensation he would have to pay would be too much.
You must find a good reason to take back the store and simply refund twice the rent.
Xue Qi originally chose to pay the rent quarterly. With this calculation, he still made a profit and the business was not at a loss.
So, a few days later, a local blogger began to reveal information that was unfavorable to the Happy Food Store.
Written by local blogger v:
An anonymous netizen revealed that the recently popular Xingfu Food Store in Wencheng is suspected of using poppy husks. The netizen claimed that diners leaving Xingfu Food Store all have satiated expressions, as if they've taken a drug, which is very unusual. Has any fan ever eaten at this restaurant? Tell us about it.
The tricky thing about this Weibo post is that it does not contain any concrete evidence, but instead uses the word "suspected" to set the tone.
Some diners who have eaten at the Happy Gourmet Restaurant recalled how they couldn't stop eating the food there, and they actually became suspicious.
Even now, they still feel itchy when they think of that smell!
In less than a day, this local Weibo post exceeded 500 comments, with netizens commenting:
"I've eaten here before, and now that I think about it, there's something a little off. I still can't stop thinking about the food there. I can't help itching to eat it. It's not normal..."
"Me too, it doesn't seem normal. Do you suggest the relevant departments investigate?"
"The relevant departments have already investigated. Someone initially reported that this shop had poppy husks. The relevant department came and checked, and they confirmed that they did. But the two customers who reported it have turned against us, saying it was someone else who was responsible."
"Huh? In this case, could it be possible... that they paid the full amount, so they're turning against us? Great! This not only boosts the store's reputation, but also clears them of any wrongdoing. And if they find poppy husks, they can also say it was a frame-up!"
The blogger also picked a comment to reply:
"According to nearby merchants, this shop does have serious problems. Because, there are more than 20 business owners who have sent me private messages to submit their stories. Just think about it, there are only a few businesses on that street. It's not normal."
Although this Weibo post only has 500 comments, it is enough to influence a small local food restaurant.
The most directly affected is Blue Mountains International School.
After seeing this Weibo post, the school leaders immediately issued an order for the students’ food safety that boarding students were not allowed to eat out, and day students were not allowed to go out for lunch and had to go home for breakfast and dinner.
This results in even less business in the school food court!
The merchants directly blamed Xue Qi for this misfortune, thinking that it was all because of Xue Qi's Happy Food Store that the food street suffered such a disaster!
They all wanted to kick Xue Qi out of the food street!
It was at this time that Fan Jianren appeared on the scene under the pretext of being a merchant in the food street.
As soon as he entered the room, the big-bellied man slammed the printed online reviews onto the table:
"Boss Xue, I told you when we signed the contract that this food street was built through my hard work. Most of the people who run it are students. If you do this and the school prohibits students from eating out, do you know how much money everyone will lose?"
Xue Qi had just seen the online comments. Cheng Kai had already called the police and hired a lawyer to sue, so she didn't need to worry about this matter at all.
But this Fan Jianren was obviously here to cause trouble.
Xue Qi wanted to curse, but as a game
pc, swearing will be blocked by "".
So she said politely and in a gentle and lovely tone, "Huh? Boss Fan Jianren, you're violating the lease by taking back the shop now. Other people's brains are used for thinking, aren't you using yours to increase height? Those online rumors are clearly a frame-up."
Fan Jianren was so angry at her polite insult that he almost fainted.
He said, "You can sue me if you're dissatisfied, but I must take back this shop. I'll give you three days to move out, and I'll refund you double the rent for the remaining months according to the contract. After three days, I'll find someone to move your things."
Xue Qi looked at him coldly.
Fan Jianren was so horrified by the look on his face: "Why are you looking at me?"
Xue Qi snorted, her tone filled with a little arrogance: "I think your appearance is as creative as your name. You are worthy of being Fan Jianren. How much courage must God have had to create a face like yours."
Cao Feng watched from the side and realized for the first time that the young boss had such a bad temper.
She still had the knife in her hand, and she made a swirl with the knife in her palm and threw it towards Fan Jianren.
Everyone screamed in fear and the photographer covered his eyes.
However, the knife landed squarely between the man's legs, with the tip of the knife stuck in the wooden bench.
Fan Jianren was so scared that he peed his pants, thinking that his lower body was gone. He looked down and breathed a sigh of relief.
He stood up in anger, picked up a bench and was about to hit Xue Qi: "You stupid girl, I'm giving you face! I——"
The girl stood still, not afraid at all. When the stool was about to fall, a tall figure suddenly appeared in front of her and blocked Xue Jianren for her.
The usually gentle and honest man who seemed to have no presence at all kicked Fan Jianren to the ground and said, "Get lost."
There was an inexplicable ruthlessness in his eyes, and his whole body exuded a powerful and oppressive aura.
Fan Jianren was kicked so hard that he retreated repeatedly. When he stood up, he was frightened by Cao Feng's eyes.
He crawled out of the restaurant, pointed at her and said, "You little bitch, if you don't move out in three days, I'll make you pay!"
Wait for people to leave.
When Cao Feng turned around, the sinister look in his eyes faded, and he returned to his low-key and simple temperament. He asked Xue Qi in a gentlemanly manner: "Do you have the rental contract? Let me see it."
Xue Qi felt emotional, Uncle Cao Yue usually looked frail and weak, but he didn't expect that he could kick people with such great strength!
She immediately nodded like pecking at rice: "Wait a minute."
She found the template contract from the chat history with Fan Jianren and sent it to Cao Feng.
After reading the contract, Cao Feng frowned slightly. "There are problems here. This quarter's rent may seem favorable, but it's actually a trap. He wants to take back the store, and even if you sue, you can only get double the rent. You can't win."
She had never come across a contract in the game. She had owned the shop since she was born. As long as she paid the rent on time every month, she would never encounter the landlord trying to evict her.
Realizing that the real world is different from the game world, Xue Qi looked at Cao Feng: "So I was tricked, right?"
"Um."
The girl looked at him with pitiful eyes, her mouth pursed, feeling very aggrieved.
It's as if I have never experienced these commercial darkness.
She uttered a sigh, "It's so difficult."
Why are people in the real world so cunning?
Bully
pc!
Cao Feng comforted her: "Don't be sad."
Xue Qi raised an eyebrow: "Am I sad? I'm not sad! I can continue to open in another place!"
Cao Feng was filled with hunger at this time.
He asked, "Boss, can we eat now?"
Xue Qi said "Oh": "Do you want to eat anything?"
Cao Feng suddenly wanted to eat a dish: "Cuttlefish dumplings, huh?"
Xue Qi's eyebrows curved: "Don't question me!"
She went to cook happily, as if her mood was not affected at all by what had just happened.
Xue Qi entered the kitchen and first processed the cuttlefish, extracted the cuttlefish bile, dyed the white flour black, and kneaded it into black dough.
Then, use scissors to clean the inside of the cuttlefish, remove the outer skin, and wash it with water.
Xue Qi mixed cuttlefish meat, leeks and other seasonings into the filling, and quickly rolled the black dough into dumpling wrappers.
She wrapped the cuttlefish filling into black dumpling skins, and each well-behaved cuttlefish dumpling looked like a small ingot, plump and cute.
In order to make the dumplings more delicious, Xue Qi uses crucian carp soup boiled into milky white to cook cuttlefish dumplings. When the dumplings come out of the pot, the aroma is fresh and delicious.
Everyone lined up with bowls to get the cuttlefish dumplings. Everyone held a small enamel bowl in a proper manner, but Cao Feng held a large aluminum basin.
He filled a bowl with cuttlefish dumplings and sat down in front of photographer Xiaowen.
The young man took a bite of the cuttlefish dumplings and his tongue was almost drooling over the deliciousness. The plump dumplings were wrapped in the delicious crucian carp soup. After taking a bite, the filling and juice inside flowed into his mouth.
The black dumplings are of moderate thickness, and both the filling and the skin are full of the fragrance of cuttlefish, with a delicate and memorable taste.
Photographer Xiao Wen wrapped the hot liquid in his mouth and said with a wheezing sound:
"Wow, this is my first time eating cuttlefish dumplings. Who would have thought these black dumplings were so delicious! Why is our sister Xiaoqi so miserable? If only there was a billionaire fan who would splurge on a food court for her! And then tell sister Xiaoqi: Woman, I'll take care of this street for you."
The ordinary billionaire stuffed a cuttlefish dumpling into his mouth.
Just one small bite made him completely understand what "amazing dumplings" meant.
Is it not possible to buy the entire food street?
…
Everyone was having dinner when Cheng Kai called in via video. He yelled, "Sister Qi! Come on Douyin! Come on!"
Xue Qi stuffed a mouthful of dumplings into his mouth and opened the video app at the same time.
99+ unread messages with red dots come into view.
The food video they posted this morning received over a thousand comments and over ten thousand likes!
The netizens in the comments are cute and lively:
“Ah ...
"I can smell this aroma even through the screen? Where is this delicious restaurant? Three minutes, I want the address!"
"It's poisonous, this is a smelly video! To be honest, after watching this video, I have already eaten three mobile phones!"
Just when Xue Qi was reading the comments on the video, he saw a "Battleship x100000" dynamic pop up on the screen.
She asked photographer Xiaowen curiously, "Is this battleship a gift? Why have I never seen it before? Is it a new one from Douyin?"
Xiao Wen was so frightened that her chopsticks trembled: "Sister! This is the first time I've seen this too! Someone gave you a million in tips!"
"One million battleships is converted into RMB?"
Xiaowen: "I've already converted it for you! It's one million! RMB! Sister! We're rich! We can move to a new shop!"
Xue Qi: “!!”
There are gold coins in his eyes.
She! Made a fortune?
