Xiao Ruxue flew into a rage and almost smashed things in the house, but Xiao Deshun forcibly stopped her and made her sit down on a stool. This prevented any damage.
"My dear sister, my dear aunt, can't we be a little more rational? We haven't even figured out the formula yet, what's going on? What's the point of smashing things now?"
Xiao Ruxue was so angry that she continued to yell at him: "You spent such a high price to buy a fake formula, and instead of making money, you lost money."
How am I supposed to explain this to your brother-in-law? How can this shop possibly stay open?
Xiao Deshun let go of his hand, scratching his head and cheek: "How would I know how to explain this? This can't be blamed entirely on me. We clearly bought the materials according to the recipe, and then roughly mixed them together."
The taste isn't quite as good as the place next door, but it's still acceptable. Who knows why those people are so picky? One minute it's not good enough, the next it's not good enough. It's just a bowl of spicy hot pot, what's there to complain about?
Looking at the unused materials, Xiao Ruxue felt a surge of anger and frustration, and her stomach, which had been growling all day, started to rumble.
Ignoring her younger brother's objections, she went to the kitchen to cook herself a bowl of spicy hot pot.
"If they won't eat it, I will."
Xiao Deshun leaned against the door and breathed a sigh of relief; this hurdle was finally over. He still didn't know what the problem was; the taste was fine when he tasted the mixture after it was prepared.
"Pah! What's this taste like? How did you buy these ingredients?" Xiao Ruxue spat the cabbage in her mouth onto the ground. "It's bitter and smelly, how can it taste so awful?"
Xiao Deshun walked to the pot, picked up something with his chopsticks, put it in his mouth, and then spat it out: "How come it tastes even worse than at noon? What's wrong with this seasoning? The flavor changed too quickly. It's not the middle of summer, how could it have gone bad?"
Xiao Ruxue threw her chopsticks on the ground: "We've definitely been scammed. How could that person sell you the real secret recipe? It must be that his whole family conspired to deceive us."
Go find him right now and get my money back!
"Hurry up, or the money will be gone. Make sure he gives me back the money!" The last sentence was shouted.
Xiao Deshun didn't have time to process what was happening. He didn't want his sister to keep scolding him, so he turned around and left in a hurry, as if someone was chasing him.
He didn't know where to find that person, so he could only wander aimlessly through the streets, planning to go back a few hours later when his sister's anger subsided.
...
the next day.
The snack bar opened very early, more than ten minutes earlier than usual. At this time, there weren't too many people buying things; only four or five people were queuing, and a few workers chose to eat inside.
Seeing that her neighbor had closed down, Tao Chunfang was overjoyed and greeted her guests with a warm smile.
"Boss lady, what happy event has happened at your house?" a male customer teased.
Tao Chunfang placed the chili oil he needed on the table: "There's nothing to celebrate, I'm just in a good mood. Here's the chili oil you wanted, help yourself, and call me anytime if you need more."
"Great! Your chili oil smells amazing. It's spicy but delicious. I always eat two big spoonfuls every time. It makes me sweat a lot and gives me a lot of energy when I'm working." The middle-aged man said confidently.
Qiao Dashan placed the fried dough sticks on the table: "Delicious and inexpensive, these are our family's signature dishes. Just let us know if you need anything."
“Only businesses like yours can last. The people next door are so awful, their business will never last long.” The middle-aged man began to complain: “They charge for such terrible pancakes. I don’t know how they make them. They’re even worse than my wife’s.”
