Two days after Mo Yuan and Mo Yougan made their offers, Mo Yougan could no longer hold out.
After all, this couldn't go on. Seeing Mo Yuan making money every day, they weren't even covering their costs.
It was so painful!
Finally, Mo Yougan handed over a wad of cash to Mo Yuan.
"Six hundred yuan, you'd better teach my family members!"
Mo Yuan was overjoyed to see the colorful banknotes. "Alright, alright, I'll come to your house to tutor this afternoon. Just prepare your things!"
After counting the money and finding no discrepancies, Mo Yuan kept his word and taught Mo Yougan's wife and daughter, Mo Xiaoli, the skills that afternoon.
Mo Yougan tasted it himself to make sure that Mo Yuan hadn't held back and that it was exactly the same as the one on their stall.
Let Mo Yuan leave happily!
No sooner had Mo Yuan left than Mo Yougan angrily smashed a bowl in front of him.
Six hundred yuan! Six hundred yuan! How much could you buy with that? You only bought a few words from Mo Yuan and watched him demonstrate it himself?
Especially after learning the secret of those meatballs—that they were made simply by mixing flour and cowpea flour—it became even more amazing.
This made him even angrier, feeling that he had wasted six hundred yuan!
However, the very next day, thanks to Mo Yougan's extensive advertising and price reduction strategy,
They advertised that the flavor was different from what they had at Mo Yuan's place, and that it was free, which attracted quite a few customers.
And after everyone tried it, they found that it really tasted good, much better than it did a few days ago.
So, with the idea that "a fool wouldn't pass up a good deal," Mo Yougan did indeed attract quite a few customers today.
Business was pretty good. After finishing one batch and calculating the costs, I finally had a considerable surplus.
This finally put Mo Yougan's mind at ease, as he had spent a huge sum of money. According to this calculation, he would earn back the six hundred yuan in less than a year!
That's really good!
At the same time, he cunningly thought to himself, if he could squeeze Mo Yuan's stall out of business by his own abilities, wouldn't he be able to save a thousand yuan?
After all, Mo Yuan had said that if Mo Yougan wanted to sell his own portion, he would need to add another thousand yuan!
So the next day, spurred by the prospect of money, the entire Mo family worked even harder. Although Mo Dayong wasn't going anymore, the three of them were still highly motivated, seeing the potential for profit.
They can manage the workload. And they're continuing their previous strategy, hoping to crush Moyuan by lowering prices.
Seeing many people being diverted to the stall, the second sister, Hongxia, was extremely anxious.
"Xiao Yuan, you need to come up with something. Didn't you say you had a way? I already told you this formula can't be sold. Aren't you just making trouble for yourself?"
The dog, standing nearby, seemed a little anxious. "How about we lower the price too?"
"No need to lower the price yet. Just give us more portions. We can manage with our loyal customers. It won't be long. We'll deal with it if things really get too tough!"
Mo Yuan knew Mo Yougan quite well. He was careless when he went out and considered everything a loss. Seeing others make money made him feel worse than if he were killed!
He certainly won't be satisfied with this small profit!
As long as this stalemate is maintained, the other party will come to you.
Just as Mo Yuan was pondering, he suddenly saw several people walking out of the oil mill across the street.
Leading the way was Yang Guozhong, Mo Yougan's son-in-law, who was all smiles.
Two men in navy blue uniforms, wearing peaked caps, were respectfully presented.
Upon reaching the entrance, Yang Guozhong enthusiastically said, "Team Leader Li, it's almost lunchtime, shall we grab a bite? There's a food stall across the street run by my father-in-law, the food is amazing, I'll treat you and Xiao Chen to some! I guarantee it's just as good as the state-run restaurants in the county!"
The man opposite Yang Guozhong, who looked to be in his thirties and had a dignified, square face, was rather unsmiling. He waved his hand and declined Yang Guozhong's suggestion.
"Section Chief Yang, we have a lot of things to do at the bureau and need to get back, so there's no need to trouble yourself. Since the higher-ups have assigned this matter, I'm just checking in as a matter of routine. I might bother you again in the future, and there will be other opportunities to meet. I hope you won't find it bothersome then!"
After exchanging pleasantries, Yang Guozhong, seeing that the other party had no intention of staying, watched them leave and then turned back.
The two of them were originally going to ride away on bicycles.
The young-looking officer in his early twenties said, "Captain Li, now that he mentions it, I'm quite curious. It's almost noon, how about we try some?"
"You're such a glutton! Fine, the emperor doesn't need starving soldiers, let's eat!"
But despite saying that, whether to avoid suspicion or something else, he didn't go to Mo Yougan's stall, but instead walked straight towards Mo Yuan!
From the moment Mo Yuan saw the other person, his eyes lit up. Li Jianguo? Although the other person was only in his thirties and much younger than he remembered, Mo Yuan still recognized him at a glance.
The other party asked Mo Yuan what kind of food he was selling, and then followed Mo Yuan's suggestion.
Each person ordered a bowl of fish soup with meatballs and a plate of spiced pickled fish!
Perhaps they were hungry, because they didn't say anything and both buried their heads in their food!
Soon, the younger, more talkative one spoke up: "Great! This tastes really good. Even in a state-run restaurant, it would be a hot commodity! We've turned misfortune into blessing today, and we've certainly had a feast!"
Li Jianguo, who hadn't said much, also gave Mo Yuan a thumbs up, expressing his approval!
Then Xiao Chen began to complain: "Hey Captain Li, you're saying that it's just a trivial matter? It's fine if you let me handle it, but you're the captain of the criminal investigation team. Isn't it a waste of your talents to deal with this kind of petty theft?"
