Chapter 17 Happened to Miss



"'Make a fortune'?" A hint of interest flashed in the eyes of the thin young man sitting in the wheelchair.

"That's true," Song Bo said with a smile, "I don't know what's so interesting about a small burrito."

"It's just a gimmick."

"But in the past month, no one has been able to guess the secret of this taste."

Seeing Song Bo's eager expression, the young man smiled and said, "In that case, why don't we give it a try as well."

In recent times, if we were to talk about any hot topic in Lefeng Town, it would undoubtedly be "making a fortune".

Apart from the discussion about the "first prize" itself, what is more important is that the Su family's burrito stall is the only one that caused Dong's Burrito to suffer a major setback.

Therefore, many small vendors who had suffered losses at Dongji Rolls greeted the Su family members with smiles when they saw them, and even stuffed fruits and food into their arms, showing their enthusiasm.

Skinny Monkey and Aunt Yang even gave Su Qingluan a thumbs-up when they saw her, praising her: "The young lady of the Su family is the one who has the ability to give that Dong guy a good beating!"

"..." Su Qingluan twitched her lips: Can she say that the current situation was something she herself had not anticipated?

It turned out that at the beginning, Su Qingluan just wanted to use the gimmick of "first prize" to attract customers' attention and snatch away the customers who "pursue taste rather than affordability."

However, Dong Mao had probably done too many malicious price-cutting tactics and succeeded every time. This time, he used the same tactic of "guess the seasoning correctly and you can eat for free" plus a "prize" of one tael of silver.

However, unlike Su Qingluan who is confident in her own secret seasoning recipe, Dong Mao, a shop owner who only knows how to take shortcuts, will not put too much effort into his food, and usually just aims for a good result.

Since the cooking method and seasoning are common, it is natural for the recipe to be guessed.

Dong Mao was naturally unwilling to lose a thousand yuan in vain and ask people to eat extra food. So in order to prevent the seasoning recipe from being guessed, he lost his mind and arbitrarily increased and decreased the seasoning ratio, making the taste of the burrito very strange, and the number of customers decreased significantly.

When Su Qingluan knew about this, she was speechless: Does this count as the opponent giving away a kill while she wins without any effort?

However, she was not complacent about this, but rather a little worried: although the opponent was cunning and his methods were somewhat bad this time, in fact, because he had no real power behind him, Dong Mao was already "very cute".

But this era was a true feudal dynasty, and the powerful class could truly decide the life and death of a commoner like her.

She hated it, but had to acknowledge it.

And if she wants to become bigger and stronger in the future, her competitors will become even stronger - even possessing power that is unshakable to her.

In this case, she also needs to make plans for the longer term.

This thought just flashed through her mind, and Su Qingluan didn't have a very clear idea - because there was another round-faced lady who was squeezed out by "Dong's Rolls" and switched to selling fruits, and asked her to get some freshly harvested pears.

Su Qingluan couldn't refuse the kindness. Seeing that the shredded vegetables she had prepared were enough to keep Yang family selling for a while, she only had time to say "I'll be back soon" before being pulled by the sleeve and ran away.

Seeing this, the skinny monkey laughed so hard that he fell backwards. "Oh my! Once the Zhou family's daughter-in-law pulled her, the young lady from the Su family was like a kite with a broken string, and she was easily pulled away!"

Aunt Yang on the other side heard this and teased: "You are as skinny as a chick, and you are not even as good as your old hen that lays eggs. How dare you complain about others?"

Then he turned to look at Yang and said, "Sister, don't rush to buy fabric in the next two or three days. A new batch of goods will be coming in soon. I'll save you some fresh patterns and colors. I guarantee they'll be 20% cheaper than other places!"

Yang nodded and wanted to say something else, but then she looked up and said in surprise, "Oh, isn't this Song Bo? ... What fragrant wind brings you here?"

Then, as if realizing something, he leaned behind Song Bo and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Mu is not here? Is he not feeling well?"

"Everything is fine, boss," Song Bo said with a smile, "but I just heard about the reputation of your 'Juan Bai Cai' and came to try a portion. Maybe I can guess the exquisiteness of the seasoning."

"Well, what's the 'exquisite' or 'not' exquisite' thing?" Yang waved her hand. "These are all the work of my eldest daughter—oh, come to think of it, you haven't met my eldest daughter yet. Unfortunately, she just left."

"If we are destined to meet, we will meet." Song Bo bought two wraps and wanted to pay Su Guangfu, but was rejected by Su Guangfu.

"Mr. Mu always helps his fellow villagers when they are in trouble. We are very grateful to him. How can we ask for your money?"

"That's right!" Yang also came over and agreed, "Just consider it as our treat - although it's not a valuable thing." Then she pushed the money back without saying anything.

Song Bo smiled helplessly and said, "Then I won't be polite." He chatted casually with Su Guangfu and his wife for a few more words, then turned and left.

The skinny monkey came over and asked curiously, "Who is that old man? He looks a bit old, but his movements are very neat!" He also has a strong body, without any of the hunchbacks that people who get older would show.

Yang explained, "I heard that Song Bo was a hunter when he was young."

"No wonder!" Skinny Monkey suddenly realized.

"Oh, it's a pity that the eldest girl is not here, otherwise you could introduce her to me." Yang was a little regretful that Su Qingluan did not meet Song Bo.

Su Guangfu consoled her, "Daya has only been back for a short time. We are all in the same village now, so there will always be a chance."
