The Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant could not stand being left out. According to their usual style, they quickly launched replicas. Just from the appearance, the Ruyi buns sold by the two restaurants seemed to be similar. However, as long as one took a bite, they would realize that the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant was much inferior to the Fragrance Restaurant in terms of texture and taste.
The price of this snack was not cheap. Most people who could afford this money would not covet cheapness. Who would be happy to suffer for a few copper coins? Hence, the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant did not cause much trouble. However, they had disgusted the Fragrance Restaurant a lot over the years. As success was too easy, a large number of side dishes had been prepared in the kitchen.
It was not easy to deal with the wrapped Ruyi buns separately, so they could only put them away again and again. They waited and waited, but they did not consider the problem of the weather warming up at the end of March and accidentally let them spoil.
The thin filling of the Ruyi bun was filled with meat. How could the shopkeeper bear to throw it away? After steaming it a few more times, it was served to the table as usual. This could be considered a disaster. For the next few days, customers with diarrhea came to ask for an explanation. There were even people who wanted to see the officials.
In order to settle this matter, the already pitiful account book became worse. The shopkeeper was so angry that he smashed a few tea cups.
At this moment, the servant he had sent to gather information returned. He said that the reason why Fragrance Restaurant could make a special filling was because they had bought secret recipes from a farmer.
The person who came to report looked around mysteriously before covering his mouth with his hand and whispering, “1 also heard that the Ning Family is the one who provided them with the secret recipe.”
The shopkeeper of the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant was still a little unconcerned until he heard the last sentence. He slowly sat up straight. “Oh?”
The servant, who had just returned to the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant, sneaked out mysteriously again. The shopkeeper said that they had to be flexible and could not snatch the recipe openly. They could use other methods to investigate. Hence, that night, he brought a few agile hooligans to Fortune Village.
It was already late at night when they arrived. The villagers, who had worked all day, had long fallen asleep. No one knew that a few uninvited guests had come to the village, nor did they know that they had quietly walked past the courtyard doors and arrived outside the Ning Family’s door at the end of the village.
The courtyard where the Ning Family lived was dilapidated. Although the door had been repaired, it could only stop ordinary villagers. To the few thieves who had come prepared, it was just decoration.
The few of them exchanged glances and moved to the wall of the courtyard. They stepped on their companions’ hands and jumped up, clinging to the wall.
The sauce jars in the Ning Family’s courtyard were rather eye-catching, but they were not the target of the intruders.
A rich and tempting unfamiliar fragrance was wafting out of the kitchen. The servant pointed in that direction.
“Let’s go in and look for it?” Perhaps there was a secret recipe for the Ruyi bun.
The few of them who were conversing softly would not notice that in another house not far from the Ning Family, a few pairs of energetic and cold eyes were looking at them coldly.
The hooligans led by the servant readied themselves on the wall and were about to jump down when they suddenly felt a pain in their ankles. Their bodies fell out of the courtyard wall uncontrollably. They were so frightened that they shouted and immediately woke up the Ning Family members who were sleeping.
As the head of the family, Ning Fengnian was the first to put on his clothes and come out with a shovel. Ning Dalang and his brother followed behind. The three of them stood together and each carried farming tools. They looked quite intimidating. In addition, this was their village after all. They could not be caught stealing. The servant hurriedly called his companions and ran away.
Ning Fengnian and his two sons were worried about Madam Song and Xiaoxiao and did not chase after them. However, Yun Yi and the others next door did not have any scruples. They sent two people to follow them back to the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant..
