The next day.
Three o'clock in the morning.
The huge temporary street market on Haiphong Road is already brightly lit.
All the vendors are working hard, all for a living.
Mo Zexuan was no exception. He got up early and rushed to the market from Hung Hom Village.
But the moment he opened the door of the shop, he was shocked.
It was a mess inside, with pots, pans, and various seasonings scattered all over the floor.
Suddenly, there was a surge of anger rising in my chest.
After careful inspection.
He discovered that the various marinades left over from yesterday in the store had disappeared without a trace, which allowed him to identify the real culprit behind the incident.
Although he was as angry as if a volcano was erupting, there was a voice deep in his heart telling him to stay calm.
He silently lit a cigarette, took a deep puff, and said secretly:
"A gentleman's revenge is never too late. Dajiale, you wanting to get the secret braised food recipe from me is completely wishful thinking. One day, we will settle all our grudges, both old and new."
Then he quickly cleaned up the shop, prepared fresh brine for today, and then started braising.
Fortunately, Mo Minghua had verbal agreements with various meat and vegetable wholesale stores.
No need to purchase raw materials such as beef, pork, diving duck, black chicken, etc. yourself.
Just wait for someone to deliver it to you, otherwise you will be exhausted to death.
But an accident happened today. Usually, the meat and vegetable wholesale stores deliver the raw materials around 4 o'clock.
It's almost 5 o'clock now, and there is still no sign of a raw material wholesale store. This is obviously abnormal.
Mo Zhexuan immediately hurried out of the store and headed towards the fresh food market not far away.
Arriving at a black chicken wholesaler, he quickly shouted:
"Uncle Li! You didn't send me any chicken today! When will you send it?"
"Xuan...zai! I'm sorry...! All the chicken for today... is sold out, so..."
A middle-aged man walked out of the black chicken wholesale store.
There was a trace of shame on his face, his eyes were evasive, and he stuttered when he spoke.
"Uncle Li! We've been working together for years, starting with my dad. It's a bit unreasonable for you to just cut off ties without saying anything!"
Mo Zhexuan was both angry and furious when he heard this, but he also knew that this was business competition, where people would use any means necessary, so he could only keep it in mind.
"Xuanzi! This is indeed a dishonest act by Uncle Li, but I have my own reasons. I believe that the other suppliers have stopped supplying you!"
"I believe you've already guessed the reason. We have signed a supply agreement with Maxim's, and Maxim's condition is to stop supplying you. After all, people go to higher places, and water flows to lower places."
The middle-aged man was not angry when he heard this. If it were him, he would probably curse, so he had to explain the reason.
After all, compared to the big customer Maxim's, the cost of losing Mo Zhexuan is negligible.
"Okay! Then I wish Boss Li a prosperous business!"
Mo Zhexuan had no choice but to turn around quickly and leave.
"Xuanzi! Don't blame me, Uncle Li. Listen to my advice! You can't afford to offend Maxim's. Just compromise when you need to!"
The middle-aged man looked at Mo Zhexuan's back in front of him, and couldn't help feeling a little sympathy, and hurriedly spoke to persuade him.
Mo Zhexuan walked towards his shop without looking back. He didn't plan to go to the other wholesale stores either. They must have reached an agreement with Maxim's, so it would be useless to go there.
As soon as he returned to the store, he was so angry that he could no longer control himself.
He threw all the pots, pans, and utensils he had just cleaned to the ground, poured out the freshly made marinade, then closed the rolling door and started smoking one cigarette after another.
When the neighbors of other shops outside heard the noise, they immediately started talking about it.
"This Xuanzai is such a poor kid! His parents just died, and now he's being coerced by Maxim's. I'm afraid he can't keep his secret braised food recipe."
"Yeah! But this Maxim's is really crazy! I heard from a fellow villager that Mo Minghua used to run a braised food shop in North Point, Hong Kong Island, and his business was even better than it is now. He moved here to avoid Maxim's."
"This Maxim's is way too overbearing. If I had a recipe like this, I wouldn't sell it. This is a gold mine that can't be exhausted. Xuan Zai's is the best braised food on our street. If Xuan Zai didn't limit the quantity, I'm afraid other stores would have no business."
"Alas! What a pity! The innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure! For a powerful company like Maxim's, there's nothing that can't be solved with money."
"Let's go! Stop looking and come with me to make breakfast. It's almost 6 o'clock."
“................”
Mo Zhexuan naturally heard everything that was being discussed outside the door, and his hatred for Da Jia Le became even stronger.
While smoking a cigarette silently, he was thinking in his mind how to make Maxim's pay the price, and before he knew it, he fell into a deep sleep.
While sleeping, Mo Zhexuan unexpectedly dreamed of his wife and children from his previous life, just when the family was having a warm reunion.
There was a "bang bang!" noise coming from the rolling door, and he was instantly brought back to reality. He roared impatiently:
"Why are you knocking? You're closed today?"
"Hello! I'm Wang Zhan from the Hawker Affairs Office of the Food, Hygiene and Environmental Department. I have something I'd like to discuss with you."
Hearing this voice, Mo Zhexuan stood up with a start, shocked at the cruelty of Da Jia Le's method. This was completely putting himself to death!
As soon as the rolling door was opened, the first person who came into view was Wang Zhan wearing an official uniform and a red armband.
