As natives of Sishui County, the Zhang and Wang families had eaten Yu Mantang's lion's head meatballs countless times.
In their opinion, Yu Mantang's lion's head meatballs are famous, but the taste is not outstanding.
However, since the major client was interested, they couldn't very well refuse. After all, entertaining a major client means making sure they have a great time!
"Since Young Master Li and Young Master Ye are interested in lion's head meatballs, let's go to Yu Man Tang today and try them out."
As he spoke, he led the people into the Jade Hall.
Upon seeing this, Liu Liang immediately raised his eyebrows smugly at the manager of Jinzunlou, and even mouthed out four words in a particularly annoying way.
"You'll never beat me, you'll never beat Yu Mantang, you're always second best!"
Not only did they steal business from us, but they also had such an arrogant attitude.
In the past, the manager of Jinzunlou would have been furious and cursed Yumantang for being shameless and always relying on this lion's head meatball dish to steal their customers.
However, today, the manager of Jinzunlou was unusually calm. Not only was he not angry, but he even showed a confident smile.
Liu Liang sensed something was wrong and winked at the waiter, signaling him to quickly usher the four big customers into the building.
However, it was all too late.
"If the four gentlemen would like to try something new, then our Golden Goblet Restaurant would be the perfect place for them. We have just launched two new dishes today, and the names of these new dishes are..."
The shopkeeper curled the corners of his mouth and slowly uttered the names of two dishes: "Braised Pork Offal and Spicy Braised Crayfish."
Upon hearing the names of pig offal and crayfish, Young Master Li and Young Master Ye immediately stopped in their tracks and looked at the manager of Jinzunlou with surprise and delight.
"Pork offal and crayfish, aren't these the most famous foods in Sishui County lately!"
"I heard that the ingredients used in the dish are pig offal and bloodworms, which are not considered high-class, but the dish is exceptionally delicious. Everyone who has tried it raves about it."
"When I went out this morning, I heard that the young master of the Cao family, the richest family in Jingzhou, came to Sishui County today just to buy these two kinds of braised food!"
"When we came here, we originally wanted to try our luck on West Street and buy some of these famous braised dishes, but we couldn't find them."
"Hahaha, I thought I was going to miss out on a good meal today, but unexpectedly, things have taken a turn for the better!"
Clearly, the reputation of braised food has now far surpassed that of Yu Mantang Lion's Head Meatballs.
Young Master Li and Young Master Ye didn't even wait for their hosts, Young Master Zhang and Young Master Wang, to speak before heading towards the Golden Goblet Tower.
Young Master Zhang and Young Master Wang are businessmen.
Businessmen are all shrewd people. They didn't say much, just exchanged glances, and then followed Young Master Li and Young Master Ye to the Golden Goblet Tower.
They watched as the customers they had worked so hard to win were about to be snatched back by Jinzunlou.
Liu Liang was so angry that his eyes were blazing with fury, and he hurriedly stopped him.
"Four gentlemen, wait! The braised dishes at Jinzun Restaurant are not the famous ones at all!"
The four young men stopped and looked at Liu Liang with a puzzled expression: "What do you mean by that?"
The manager of Jinzunlou glared at Liu Liang and said, "Shut up, stop talking nonsense!"
Liu Liang completely ignored the manager of Jinzunlou and started talking non-stop.
"The truly renowned braised food is made by a young lady on West Street. Her braised food is indeed extremely delicious, and everyone who has tried it raves about it. But apart from her, no other place can make such delicious braised food."
"After seeing that young woman's braised food business become successful, many small vendors in the county town tried to imitate her and sell braised food in order to make money, but without exception, they all ended up failing miserably."
"The reason is simple: no one can make braised food as delicious as that young lady's. Apart from that young lady's braised food, all other braised food is so bad that it's hard to swallow! It's even nauseating!"
"It seems that Jinzunlou, like those small vendors, uses the name of braised food to make money, but the food they actually make is inedible and disgusting!"
"Four young masters, you must be careful!"
These two major clients, Young Master Li and Young Master Ye, were visiting Sishui County for the first time and had never witnessed the frenzy of small vendors imitating Wan Shu, only to end in dismal failure.
As locals, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Wang had seen it all; they had even tried two counterfeit braised food stalls.
Just as Liu Liang said, all the counterfeit braised dishes were extremely unpalatable and difficult to swallow.
They invited Young Master Li and Young Master Ye to dinner today to curry favor with them. If they were to actually eat such unpalatable braised food and spoil their good mood, wouldn't this business deal fall through?
No, no, Yu Mantang is definitely the best choice!
Although the taste of lion's head meatballs is just average, at least it's safe and won't be hard to swallow.
Liu Liang observed the changes in the expressions of Young Master Zhang and Young Master Wang, and his previously anxious expression turned smug once again.
Smugly, he once again provoked the manager of Jinzunlou: "Don't think that you can beat Yumantang by using this kind of deceptive trick!"
"Who said we're selling dog meat under the guise of mutton!" the owner of Jinzunlou said angrily. "We at Jinzunlou would never cheat our customers. We sell absolutely authentic braised dishes!"
Liu Liang sneered: "Heh heh heh, you think you can just say it's authentic? Show me the proof!"
"..." The manager of Jinzunlou fell silent.
Because he really couldn't produce any evidence.
He wanted to prove that Jinzunlou's braised dishes were authentic, and there were only two ways to do so.
First, cut a plate of braised food and let them taste it.
Second, bring Wan Shu and the others out directly to testify.
But neither of these methods worked.
The braised food was still being chopped in the kitchen, while Wan Shu and the others were still eating in their private room.
Whether it's getting food from the kitchen or calling someone from the private room, there's no time to spare.
He was certain that as soon as he went in, that bastard Liu Liang would drag those four big customers away.
Damn it! This is infuriating! I thought that with braised food as a powerful weapon, Jinzunlou would be able to beat Yumantang, but I didn't expect to lose the first round.
The manager of Jinzunlou was so angry that his face turned green.
Liu Liang, on the other hand, was beaming with pride.
"Hehehe, I'm sure he can't produce any evidence. Gentlemen, why don't you come to our Jade Hall instead!"
The four of them didn't really trust the manager of Jinzunlou to begin with, and seeing that he couldn't produce any evidence, they all shook their heads and headed towards Yumantang.
Just then, a clear and pleasant female voice suddenly came from afar.
"Who says there's no evidence? Aren't I the evidence?"
Everyone turned around and saw a beautiful young woman leading three and a half children, smiling as she walked to the entrance of Jinzun Tower.
