In addition to the delicious food across the street, the decor and environment across the street are also very trendy.
Strictly speaking, his side caters to a wider range of diners, and the overlap between their customer groups is not high.
Even with a low overlap rate, my business was still being taken away by the restaurant across the street!
Their restaurant's business hadn't been doing well for the past year, and now another restaurant was trying to take a slice of the pie, which made him very unhappy.
At the same time, a deep hatred and resentment arose in his heart.
He thought that if the other party hadn't opened a shop across the street, his business certainly wouldn't be in such bad shape now.
Perhaps after a while, it will gradually recover and return to the heyday it had in the first year or two after it opened.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, so he decided to find a way to teach the other person a lesson!
At first, he secretly asked someone to buy some of the restaurant's signature dishes and then had the restaurant's chefs study them.
In this way, they can also have the same specialty dishes that the other party sells, and their brand is more well-known, so most customers will definitely choose the established brand.
This approach did have some effect at first, but the effect was not significant.
Because the taste of their dishes couldn't compare to the other restaurant's, and they had only added two new dishes, which didn't fundamentally change the state of their restaurant at the time.
Seeing his own restaurant's business decline day by day while the restaurant across the street continued to thrive, his resentment reached its peak.
So he immediately made a decision: he had to find a way to sabotage the business across the street!
Since he couldn't do it openly, he had no choice but to resort to underhanded tactics.
He had even considered bribing someone to cause trouble at the restaurant across the street, for example, by claiming that he found something dirty in their food and accusing them of hygiene problems.
Or they might secretly hire someone to poison their kitchen.
But after thinking about it, he realized that none of these options were safe, and if he were found out, he could very well end up in jail.
So even though he thought this method could quickly and effectively ruin the restaurant across the street, he still didn't dare to do it.
Fortunately, he eventually found a more effective, safer, and more advantageous method for himself: to use metaphysical methods to deal with the other party!
He then quickly found a master, who instructed him to hang a convex Bagua mirror facing the entrance of his restaurant, with the mirror's surface pointing directly at the restaurant opposite.
In this way, the troubles and difficulties their restaurant encounters, such as poor business, will be reflected to the opposite side through the convex Bagua mirror, causing the restaurant on the other side to suffer the consequences for them.
He then quickly hung up the Bagua mirror, deliberately placing it in a relatively inconspicuous spot, also out of concern that it might be discovered.
Fortunately, the owner of the restaurant across the street wasn't that observant, or perhaps he was completely ignorant about these things and had no idea that his restaurant was being pointed at by a Bagua mirror.
Since the Bagua mirror was hung up, he has personally witnessed the other party's originally good business gradually decline, while his own business has begun to revive and become better and better.
This scene had been going on for almost half a month, but now it has suddenly stopped.
And then there's the gourd hanging on the opposite side...
He concluded that there was definitely something wrong with the gourd, and that their restaurant must have been cursed as well!
Thinking of this, he dared not delay and immediately called the master he had spoken to before.
To his surprise, the call went through, but no one answered.
The boss was extremely anxious, but he dared not continue, fearing that the master was busy with other things and that he would disturb him.
Of course, what I fear even more is that the master will get angry.
Offending such a master would likely cause more trouble than help him break the gourd formation.
Helpless, he could only put down his phone for the time being, hoping that the master would call him back as soon as he finished his business.
Unexpectedly, he waited for three whole days.
Over the course of these three days, the owner witnessed firsthand how his restaurant went downhill and became like the restaurant across the street a while ago.
What alarmed him most was that, in addition to the restaurant's business declining, accidents and unexpected incidents would occur at their restaurant from time to time.
For example, the restaurant's electrical circuit broke down, rendering the freezer unusable, or when they went to restock, the goods had already been pre-ordered by others, and so on.
None of these accidents were fatal, but they all had a significant impact on their restaurant's business.
Their restaurant's business has been even worse these past two days than it has been!
Not only are there no new diners, but even the old customers have stopped coming.
He shamelessly called familiar old customers to inquire about the situation, and they either said they wanted to eat at home recently, or that they were not in Jiangyu at the moment.
In short, all the reasons are quite reasonable, and there's nothing wrong with them.
But it is precisely this “normal” that is most terrifying.
On the other hand, the restaurant across the street has truly made a "comeback," and its business is getting better every day!
His eyes were practically bloodshot from jealousy!
Just when he was so anxious he was practically fuming, the master he knew finally called him back.
He quickly answered the call, hoping to find a good solution.
Unexpectedly, after he told the master about the problems he encountered at the restaurant and the gourd that appeared in the restaurant across the street, the master remained silent for a long time on the phone and finally firmly and ruthlessly rejected him.
The boss was stunned and quickly said that he could offer a high price, and he was willing to pay whatever the master asked for, just asking the master to help him again!
Unfortunately, the master still didn't agree until he got annoyed by the boss and said impatiently.
"No matter how much money you give me, I won't help anymore. There are people backing them, and if this continues, something terrible will happen!"
Of course, what he didn't admit was that, judging from the opponent's counterattack methods, he might not be a match for that person.
After all, it has gourds, green plants, and a fish tank.
Aside from the gourd, which he knew was used to ward off evil spirits, it took him a while to figure out the purpose of the green plants and the fish tank.
These are all used to ward off evil spirits.
He could only think of one of them, but the other party could come up with several solutions at once.
This shows that the opponent's strength and accumulated magical abilities are definitely superior to his own.
Why would he be so reckless as to try and fight a losing battle?
If you completely enrage the other party, you might be forced into a magical duel.
He had worked so hard to reach his current level of cultivation, how could he let a trivial restaurant owner affect him?
and......
He has been in seclusion for the past few days.
He had prepared everything before going into seclusion and was confident that he would be able to break through successfully after this seclusion.
But for some reason, at the crucial moment, things suddenly went wrong, causing him to fail to break through.
When he emerged from his seclusion, he discovered that the time he encountered problems with his breakthrough seemed to coincide with the time the restaurant owner called him.
