Chapter 112 Raising troops to investigate crimes

The sign for Peach Blossom Dessert was hung up.

After Tong Huaqiong’s promotion, everyone in the town knew that Taohua Dessert was going to open a shop.

The shop is located in Yanzhi Lane, and is located in the former wine shop of the old Ma family. From then on, the old Ma family’s wine shop officially withdrew from the stage of Yanguan Town.

Even so, the old Ma family's wine shop was popular in the whole town at that time, and everyone knew its exact location.

Every day when Tong Huaqiong was at her stall, she would announce the news that her shop was about to open to customers. Not only did she announce the news, she also built up momentum for a big sale on the first day of opening, offering a free gift for all cakes purchased.

Therefore, when Taohua Dessert was still in the preparation for its opening, it had already attracted the attention of the entire town. It was truly treated as a top star as soon as it debuted.

The noise was so loud that the news of the opening of Taohua Dessert Shop was naturally also heard by Sushiyuan.

There were pastry shops in this town before, but they usually closed down within a few months.

To be precise, they were all defeated by Sushiyuan in the market competition.

The reason why Sushiyuan has been able to survive is all thanks to Manager Feng.

In the past, when Manager Feng was around, everyone didn’t have to worry about competitors at all; they just had to focus on their own business.

But it's different now.

Now that Manager Feng is ill, Sushiyuan has suddenly fallen into a state of disarray and doesn't know how to deal with Taohua Desserts.

"...We need to ask the shopkeeper to come up with a solution."

The pastry chefs and waiters at Sushiyuan were becoming extremely anxious as Taohua Desserts became more and more arrogant.

It's just a small stall now, but it can snatch a lot of business from Sushiyuan. If it opens a shop, will there be room for Sushiyuan to survive?

Everyone gathered together to discuss how to resist the aggressive trend of Taohua desserts and maintain the status of Sushiyuan. The pastry masters in the kitchen unanimously suggested that Manager Feng should be the expert in this matter.

"What countermeasures? We just need to do our job well. It's not like a town can't accommodate two dim sum restaurants. I think we took Taohua Dessert too seriously, which led to the current situation. If we hadn't neglected our flagship products and tried to imitate Taohua Dessert's products like Taro Paste and Pork Floss, we wouldn't have lost so many customers."

The person who said this was Hong Xiaoxi, the guy who disguised himself and went to Taohua Dessert to buy pastries but was exposed by Tong Huaqiong.

"What do you know? Can the money earned from one store and two stores be the same?" the pastry chef scolded Hong Xiaoxi.

"What should we do? Taohua Desserts was able to take away our customers when they first set up their stall. Wouldn't they be able to attract more of our customers if they open a shop?" Hong Xiaoxi had no confidence that Sushiyuan would squeeze out Taohua Desserts.

Besides, the pastries of Taohua Dessert are indeed delicious. He is a staff member of Sushiyuan and he has to speak a fair word.

"Taohua Dessert focuses on new ideas, and we focus on old traditions. We have been open for so many years and so many diners recognize us, so the two stores can coexist." Hong Xiaoxi chattered non-stop.

The other older guys and the pastry chef disagreed. They believed that if one business was dominant in a place, everyone would live comfortably.

"What are you talking about, you little kid? Who are you on the same side with? Taohua Dessert will open in three days. Please invite Manager Feng over here quickly." One of the waiters scolded Hong Xiaoxi.

Hong Xiaoxi didn't dare to speak.

If Tong Huaqiong knew that Hong Xiaoxi had such insight, she would definitely recruit him to work as an clerk in her shop.

After Manager Feng drank the medicine, he felt a little better.

He was not sick in the first place, he was just so angry at Feng Chuan that he vomited blood. After resting for a few days, he was able to get up and his brain also returned to normal.

He was just thinking about how to deal with Tong Huaqiong when the shop assistant came to discuss how to deal with Taohua Dessert.

This widow is simply haunting him. She is the biggest stumbling block in his career. Even when he pointed a knife at her in the woods, she didn't back off.

He should have killed her then.

It is not possible to count on the Zheng family. After all, this matter cannot be planned for the long term. Taohua Dessert will officially open in three days.

The Peach Blossom Dessert shop must be nipped in the bud before it opens.

Feng Chuan couldn't just ignore it, so he planned to temporarily embezzle the money from Sushi Garden in the past few months.

Although doing so was very risky, once his employer discovered him he had no choice but to let him go.

In order to embezzle money, he was going to drive Tong Huaqiong out of Yanguan Town. If the embezzlement of money was discovered, his boss might forgive him because he had eliminated his biggest competitor.

After all, he was the only one who could keep the Sushiyuan pastry shop, the only one left in Yanguan Town, from existing.

How to deal with peach blossom desserts?

Shopkeeper Feng really had no better solution, so he could only resort to a vicious and brutal method, which was to hire someone to spread the rumor that someone had eaten Peach Blossom Dessert and got sick the day before the opening of the shop, and then on the opening day, he took the victim to the front of the shop to make a scene.

"......You take care of this matter......"

Shopkeeper Feng called over his most trusted clerk, whispered a few words in his ear, and after this and that, the two of them finally agreed on a plan and smiled with success on their faces.

After the waiter left, another group of people broke into Manager Feng's residence.

This person is Feng Chuan and Manager Feng’s older brother and sister-in-law.

Feng Chuan was forced by Gu Dashu to pay back the money. When he saw Gu Dashu, he ran away like a cat seeing a mouse.

These days he came to Shopkeeper Feng every day to ask for money, first begging and pleading, and finally acting like a rogue.

Shopkeeper Feng would not give in easily. He wanted to let Feng Chuan experience the helplessness of falling into a desperate situation and then give him a glimmer of hope. Maybe Feng Chuan would change as a result.

He even planned to wait until the last day to help Feng Chuan fill the hole. He wanted Feng Chuan to write him a guarantee and an IOU so that he could control Feng Chuan.

In short, he couldn't just leave Feng Chuan alone. The clan wouldn't agree, and he wouldn't manage him without principles as before.

Coincidentally, the deadline for Feng Chuan to pay off his gambling debts was the day Taohua Dessert opened.

He felt a headache as soon as Feng Chuan came in.

When he saw that Feng Chuan was followed by his elder brother and sister-in-law, his blood pressure rose even more.

"Second brother, I gave my son to you for adoption, and you treat him like this? He was a good boy in my house, how come he got such bad habits after being adopted by you? You have corrupted my good son."

The eldest brother of the Feng family strode in, and without caring about Shopkeeper Feng's health, he went up and punched Shopkeeper Feng.

"You and your sister-in-law can't lay eggs, so I gave you eggs from my family to continue the incense. Don't you know how to be grateful? Now my son owes money, but you are unwilling to pay. How can it be so cheap?" The eldest sister-in-law of the Feng family cooperated with the man with an angry face.

"Brother, sister-in-law, why are you here?" Shopkeeper Feng held back his anger and gave up his seat to his brother and sister-in-law.

There was no way around it. After adopting someone else's son, Shopkeeper Feng always felt that he was inferior to his elder brother and sister-in-law.

"Why are we here? If we hadn't come, my son would have died."

"After all, he wasn't born from your crotch, yet you don't feel sorry for him and let him have his arms and legs cut off by others. Oh, what a sin I have committed. The son I gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy is now dead after being adopted by you."

The eldest sister-in-law of the Feng family spat at the shopkeeper Feng and clapped and jumped for joy.

"My poor son, you are helping others to keep their family alive, but they are treating you like a tool."

"Uncle, my son gave birth to a son, and your family line has been carried on steadily, but now you have turned your back on me. You are a shopkeeper in town and enjoy a good life, while we work hard to farm at home, and you still gave birth to a son. Oh, why is my life so miserable?"

The eldest sister-in-law of the Feng family cried and cursed.

The eldest brother of the Feng family pulled a chair and sat there with a gloomy face, looking as if he was ready to call someone to account.
