"The reason why our noodles are so attractive is because of the soup."
"The other ingredients in the soup recipe are easy to deal with, but there's a main ingredient that my grandmother discovered by accident. After adding it, the noodles taste completely different from other noodles. It has a unique fragrance.
"It's just that this ingredient is very rare. Originally, no one would buy it, so it wasn't expensive. But because our business has been so good these two days, the price of this ingredient in Hundred Flowers City has doubled. "
Sister Guo smiled bitterly. "If we don't have other channels, this thing will become a problem in the future. So, it's best to find a new channel and purchase a batch in bulk, then stock it up. It won't spoil even after a few years. "
With the booming business and confidence, Sister Guo also achieved a gorgeous transformation.
She wore a small suit, had an outstanding temperament, and was elegant. Other than being warm and kind, there was no longer any trace of the previous shop owner on her.
"Oh? That main ingredient … What is it? Some kind of plant? "Shirō Makino asked.
Sister Guo was surprised. "How did you know? You're so smart! It's called Purple Maple Vine, I have a picture here … "
Saying that, Sister Guo directly sent a set of pictures to Shirō Makino.
After looking at it, Shirō Makino nodded. "Okay, we'll think of a way."
The main thing was that the tycoon lady had a way, so Bai Muye sent these pictures to Ji Caiyi without any hesitation.
Ji Chae Yi rolled her eyes and looked at it seriously.
At this moment, a young and beautiful girl suddenly ran in from outside. She seemed to be somewhat anxious. Seeing Shirō Makino and the others there, she wanted to say something but stopped.
"What's wrong? Just say it, it's okay. " Sister Guo asked gently, then explained to Shirō Makino and Ji Chae Yi, "She's a little girl I met in the north of the city. She's a good person, smart, and efficient, so I brought her here on my own, using our shop's name …"
"This is a small matter. Tell me what happened first." Ji Chae Yi waved her hand and instantly transformed into a heroine. She looked at the little girl and asked.
"The person we went to buy the Purple Maple Vines … was, was beaten …" The little girl said and burst into tears.
"Don't cry, don't cry … They're all here. Don't be afraid. Explain things clearly first. Don't panic!"
Sister Guo had been through a few storms in the past and was much more mature than before. She comforted the young lady softly.
Sister Guo was a strong-willed person. Unless it was extremely difficult, she would not easily ask for help.
Just like back in the north of the city, if Master Ma's men hadn't tried to kidnap her, she definitely wouldn't have asked Ji Chae Yi for help.
It was the same now.
The reason why she mentioned the Purple Maple Vine to Shirō Makino earlier was because she had encountered some difficulties.
But she said it very tactfully, and did not mention the ugly faces of those peddlers to these bad-tempered youths.
She was afraid that they would act rashly and look for them. Although her temperament had changed, Sister Guo was still an honest person who didn't want to cause trouble.
But she didn't expect the conflict to come so quickly, and she was caught unprepared.
Purple Maple Vine was very difficult to buy. Most people didn't even know what it was!
The reason why people would get it was because it could be used as medicine. The price wasn't high, but it wasn't low either.
Most adventurers who went out into the wild would dig up the Purple Maple Vine if they didn't have much of a harvest.
They treated it as cutting grass to kill a rabbit.
Once the rice noodle shop became popular, the demand for Purple Maple Vine increased.
Be it the peddlers or the adventurers who went out into the wild all year round, they were all very sly.
They were the most sensitive to the market!
As long as there was a slight disturbance, they would immediately make the corresponding adjustments. Therefore, the Purple Maple Vine that suddenly became popular became popular.
Not only did the price double, the people that Sister Guo sent to buy it were also followed by those people!
When Sister Guo found out about this, she immediately became angry.
She wasn't afraid of the recipe being stolen. Apart from her, no one knew the exact recipe of the soup.
Other than the Purple Maple Vine, there was actually another main ingredient!
She didn't tell Shirō Makino and the other young shop owners because she knew that they weren't interested in it at all.
The reason why she didn't tell Brother Guang was even simpler — it was necessary to be vigilant.
Although she wasn't afraid of the recipe being leaked, it wasn't a good thing to be targeted by the peddlers and adventurers.
Once they completely blocked the Purple Maple Vine's channel, other than getting Brother Guang's men to search for it in the wild, she could only ask the young shop owners for help.
Moreover, it wasn't practical to get Brother Guang's men to search for it. The wild was too dangerous!
Purple Maple Vine didn't exist in the suburbs at all. It grew in the deep forests far away. Ordinary people couldn't even get close to its growing area.
Her request for help was considered timely, but she didn't expect that the peddlers would be so daring as to beat people up.
"So, when you went to purchase the Purple Maple Vine, you were mocked by those people. They acted frivolously and said that they wanted to talk to Sister Guo privately? They even said that they wanted the shares of this shop? You couldn't hold back your anger and retorted, and they beat you up? "Ji Chae Yi's tone was very cold. The heroine was angry.
The little girl was called Xiu 'er. She was a rather nimble girl. When she heard Ji Chae Yi's question, she immediately nodded and said with a wronged expression, "Yes, those people were very fierce!"
"Hehe, fierce?" Shan Gu laughed and shook his head. "I'd like to see how fierce they are!"
"Wait …" Liu Zhiyuan frowned and looked at Xiu 'er with a very serious expression. "Sister Xiu' er, what you said was the truth. You didn't leave anything out, right?"
Xiu 'er nodded. "Sister Guo brought me out from the north of the city. My life was given by Sister Guo."
Sister Guo looked at her and said gently, "Don't say that. My life was given by the shop owners."
"Then I'm still Sister's little follower. I'll always be," Xiu 'er said softly.
Ji Chae Yi looked at Liu Zhiyuan. "What do you mean?"
Liu Zhiyuan said, "If what Sister Xiu 'er said is true, then it's very likely that the other party came for us."
"Huh?" Shan Gu widened his eyes and looked at Liu Zhiyuan. "I say, Liu, my Lord Team Leader, can you not always talk about such conspiracy theories? We're such a big shot. Why are there people watching us all the time? Looking for trouble with us? "
"They're just a group of peddlers. We have no enmity with them. At most, they won't sell us anything if they don't like us. Why did they take the initiative to provoke us? Why did they dare to beat us up? " Liu Zhiyuan looked at Shan Gu. "Especially after they followed our people and saw our shop!"
"So what?" Shan Gu asked.
"Nothing. I suspect that they're Master Ma's remaining followers," Liu Zhiyuan said straightforwardly.
"That's impossible, right? Why would they dare to jump out? " Shan Gu was not stupid. After hearing what Liu Zhiyuan said, he also had some doubts. He immediately looked at Shirō Makino.
Shirō Makino looked at Xiu 'er. "Where are the people who were beaten up? Did they come back? "
"They're still with them. I saw them getting beaten up, so I hurried back to report …" Xiu 'er choked with sobs.
"That's most likely it. But I'm also a little curious …"
Shirō Makino frowned. "We've already beaten up two Master Ma. How can there be such ignorant people?"
"There are still some loyal people in the pugilistic world. It's impossible to eliminate all of Master Ma's remaining followers. There will always be some who slip through the net."
Liu Zhiyuan sighed. "Let's leave this matter to the city guards. Let's not show ourselves. It's not suitable."
Ji Chae Yi was about to retort when Liu Zhiyuan looked at her and said, "We've just won the Hundred Flowers Cup and are very popular. If we're targeted now, it'll be hard for us to clear our name."
"So we're just going to let it go? I'm angry! "Ji Chae Yi said as she took out her communicator to call her third uncle.
Then, she got the address from Xiu 'er and sent it to her third uncle.
Liu Zhiyuan said, "Chae Yi, aren't we going to open a branch? In the future, we'll open a branch in another city. I'm afraid this kind of thing is inevitable. Not everything can be solved by force. "
"I know, of course I know. I understand all of this, but I'm just … not happy!" Ji Chae Yi frowned.
Shirō Makino said, "We have to make a trip too. We have to bring our people back."
Liu Zhiyuan was a little hesitant. Shirō Makino smiled. "Captain, you're too mature sometimes. You forgot that we're just a bunch of kids!"
Ten minutes later, the four of them sat in Ji Chae Yi's car and sped towards the west of the city.
Si Yin was left behind to look after the house.
