The next morning, Qiaoqiao looked around at the breakfast stall, but there was no sign of Zhao Hao no matter how long she waited.

"Qiaoqiao, is Mr. Zhao coming or not? You'd better go and see him off so as not to delay his breakfast." Qiaoqiao's mother urged.

"He said he came by himself, so I won't see him off." Qiaoqiao pouted and said, "I'm not his girl."

"How can you talk like that, kid?" The stall owner, who was frying oil-filled taro, was immediately furious. He pointed at his daughter with a strainer and said, "If it wasn't for Mr. Zhao that day, you would have suffered a loss..."

Qiaoqiao pouted, not wanting to hear this, and sullenly put some food into the bamboo basket.

"Hey, this mouth can hang a cow."

Suddenly, Zhao Hao's hateful voice rang in her ears. Qiaoqiao suddenly became happy, but still said with a stern face: "You are too lazy to come here until lunch."

As the saying goes, a good man does not fight with a woman. Zhao Hao smiled and ignored her. He looked at the food stall and saw that besides the two old men, there were two other rare diners.

He remained calm and shared a table with the two old men. He ate his breakfast leisurely and chatted casually.

When all the other diners had paid and left, and when the stall owner Fang was about to turn off the fire and close the shop, Zhao Hao suddenly waved and said, "Don't turn off the fire yet. Bring me four more bowls of duck blood vermicelli soup."

The stall owner Fang thought he wanted to pack the food up, so he smiled and nodded. After a while, he brought four bowls of steaming hot soup.

He was about to turn around to clean up the stall, but Zhao Hao pulled him back and said, "Sit down, stall owner, and drink soup together."

"Well, I..." The stall owner Fang wanted to say that he still had a lot of work to do, but how could he not give Zhao Hao face? He had to sit down for the time being.

Yu Jiazhang and Mr. Zhao looked at Zhao Hao and asked with a smile, "Sir, what's the matter? Why are you so mysterious?"

"Watch me show you a magic trick." Zhao Hao said, taking out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve and pouring some yellow powder into each bowl.

Then he stirred it with a spoon and motioned for everyone to follow his example: "Try it before you speak."

Seeing how serious he was, the three nodded in amusement, stirred the soup in the bowl in the same way, and then each scooped a spoonful into their mouths. They felt the fresh fragrance they had never felt before spreading from the tip of their tongues throughout their mouths and then to their brains, making them feel extremely happy and enjoyable!

Especially the old captain and Mr. Zhao, whose sense of taste has deteriorated with age, and everything they eat tastes bland, so they have been taking care of stall owner Fang's business... At this moment, they actually felt a clear and strong fresh fragrance, as if they had returned to their youth.

No, even when I was young, I had never tasted such delicious flavor!

"hiss……"

"Huh?"

"scare……"

The three of them exclaimed at the same time, looked at the bowl of duck blood vermicelli soup that they were so used to drinking in disbelief, and then started drinking it spoonful after spoonful without any prior communication.

"Are they possessed?" Qiaoqiao came over curiously and asked Zhao Hao, "What did you put there?"

"Well, I put the potion in it. Do you want to try it?" Zhao Hao scooped a spoonful and handed it to her.

Qiaoqiao's face turned slightly red, but she took it as if nothing had happened. She lifted the hair beside her ear with her left little finger, and brought the spoon to her lips with her right hand, taking a sip.

"Wow!" Her big eyes brightened instantly, and she was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth and said, "I've never tasted something so delicious!"

At this time, Qiaoqiao's mother also came over curiously, scooped a spoonful from Fang De's bowl, tasted it, and also praised it highly.

Zhao Hao folded his arms and looked at everyone's interesting expressions with a reserved look on his face, when he suddenly discovered that stall owner Fang was in tears.

He couldn't help but secretly complain that the stall owner Fang's acting was too exaggerated. I didn't add onions, so no matter how delicious it is, it won't make people cry, right?

Seeing Zhao Hao looking at him strangely, the stall owner Fang realized that he had lost his composure. He wiped his tears with his apron and smiled embarrassedly, "Don't blame me, sir. I was suddenly moved and couldn't help myself."

"Yes, father, if you have this thing, you won't have to worry about making a comeback." Qiaoqiao's mother understood her husband's thoughts and wiped her tears as well.

"I'm confused. What do you mean by make a comeback?" Zhao Hao asked, scratching his head.

"My dear, you may not know that the owner of this stall was actually Mr. Fang," Yu Jiachang drank up all his soup, then wiped his beard with satisfaction and said, "He once opened a three-story restaurant by the Qinhuai River. I don't know how glorious it was."

"Oh? How did it end up like this?" Zhao Hao asked.

"Alas, there are too many powerful people in Nanjing, and it's hard to do business. I have to be careful all year round and finally run a restaurant," stall owner Fang took over the conversation and told Zhao Hao, "but the restaurant next door thought I was stealing their business, so they used the excuse of expansion and asked me to transfer the restaurant to them at a very low price. I didn't know at the time that their owner was actually the second son of Duke Wei, so I ignored it."

"Who would have thought that those bastards would get a dead body from somewhere and dump it in front of our store in the middle of the night." Qiaoqiao's mother is still trembling with anger when she mentions it. "The next day, the government arrested the child's father and put him in the jail in Jiangning County. They have power over there, so the government didn't investigate the case for half a year and kept finding excuses to delay the case. Is jail a place for people to stay? I was afraid that if it dragged on, the child's father would even die, so I had to agree to sell the store, and then I bribed people up and down and spent all my money to get him out."

The couple wiped their tears for a long time before Fang De calmed down and continued, "My family lost their livelihood and owed a lot of debts, so we had to move to Caijia Lane. I wanted to open a breakfast shop to slowly pay off the debt, but I have never cooked before, so my cooking skills are only average..."

Zhao Hao nodded silently, thinking that it is important for people to know themselves.

"As a result, the family can barely make ends meet. Not to mention making a comeback, we don't even know when we can pay off our debts." Fang De finished his rambling, wiped the tears from his eyes and said, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, young master."

"Isn't the chance for a comeback right before your eyes?" Zhao Hao sighed with him for a while, then smiled at Fang De and said, "This 'Extreme Fresh Powder' is prepared for you!"

"Ah?" Fang De looked at Zhao Hao in disbelief, his mouth wide open for a long time.

"You fool Fang, why don't you thank the young master quickly!" The old captain at the side kicked him lightly.

"Thank you for your kindness, sir! I'd be willing to work like a slave for you, but it's hard for me to repay you!"

Fang Decai suddenly woke up from his dream and quickly knelt down to kowtow to Zhao Hao. He had opened a restaurant before, so he could best understand the power of this "Extreme Fresh Powder". Any restaurant that had this would be invincible and dominate Jinling!

Zhao Hao quickly supported him with both hands and said with a gentle smile: "Boss Fang, there is no need to be like this. I am just using you to make money. We are cooperating, so there is no question of who is thanking whom."

"Good!" Old Man Zhao gave a thumbs up and praised enthusiastically: "The people are kind and do not bully the weak. Young Master Zhao is truly a kind person!"

Zhao Hao blinked. He was still thinking of how to flatter Zhao Jin without leaving any trace. Unexpectedly, the other party shamelessly flattered him first...
