After crossing over: kidnapping a female hunter to be the stepfather of the three cubs

Chapter 269: Capture the thief first and capture the king first

"Then doesn't Zhenxiu Pavilion have any alternative channels? Besides, Zhenxiu Pavilion is a wealthy and powerful company. I remember that the grain store also belongs to yours." Huanxi blurted out.

"Are you kidding me? The grain store is for food. How can you open a restaurant if you only have rice but no vegetables? And the backup channel you mentioned is unwilling to cooperate with Zhenxiu Pavilion. The food in the vegetable market is simply not enough for Zhenxiu Pavilion..."

"Let's go. This place is close to your Treasure Pavilion. Let's go to your Treasure Pavilion to talk. There are too many people outside and it's not convenient."

After a few people left, a shifty-looking man not far away quietly left, walked through the alley to the back kitchen of Xiangmanlou, knocked on the door and went in.

"Boss...it's done, it's a mess." The shifty-eyed man said flatteringly while bowing.

A fat man with a mustache had a harmless smile, but the crackling sound of the walnuts in his hand betrayed his joy.

"Er Gouzi, you did a great job on this. Keep an eye on the Treasure Pavilion and notify me immediately if there's any noise."

"Yes, yes, sir, I understand."

Suddenly the fat man's expression became stern, and he ordered Er Gouzi:

"The person behind Shuxiangju is just a peasant woman, there's nothing to be afraid of. They're just riding on the coattails of Zhenxiu Pavilion. As long as Zhenxiu Pavilion is taken down, Shuxiangju will be like a grasshopper in autumn, unable to jump for more than a few days. By then, those recipes..."

"Master, you are wise and brave. I admire you so much." Ergouzi flattered.

"Go down and keep an eye on it. The old man from the Chen family hasn't been here these past two days, so things won't be so smooth when he comes back. Try to trip him up on his way back. Remember, don't kill him. The people behind him are not to be trifled with, but try not to let anyone know that this is Xiang Man Lou's doing..."

"Yes... I understand."

On the other side, a group of people had already arrived at the Treasure Pavilion and went to an inner room in the backyard.

As soon as he sat down, Chen Yunrui stood up like a catapult.

"My father is still outside. Will they attack him?"

Huanxi also frowned. Xiang Manlou was ruthless and cruel. Who knew if he would attack Boss Chen while he was away...

"Where did your father go? Did he say when he would be back?"

"I don't know either. He's been elusive day after day, and he won't tell me... He always comes back after a few days."

"Will your father bring some followers who are skilled in martial arts?"

"do not know……"

This is very troublesome... Business can be resumed slowly, and they won't be killed in a short time. I'm afraid they will attack the leader of the Chen family, which would be very troublesome.

Huanxi narrowed her eyes. These people were doing this just to bring down Shuxiangju and Zhenxiuge.

Or just want to get something.

方子

That’s right, it’s the recipe.

Her Shuxiangju had been open for a month. People originally thought it was just a low-class restaurant opened by a farm girl, but who knew that it would become more and more successful and even attracted customers from the town.

Shuxiangju has just opened for a short time, and the food is only delicious, but its reputation is not yet well-known.

So all it took to destroy Shuxiangju was gossip.

However, Zhenxiu Pavilion is different. It has been active in the town for such a long time and can compete with Xiangmanlou in a two-dragon play with a pearl, so we can only cut it off at the source and prevent them from opening the door themselves.

"Qing Zhao, what do you think about this?" Huanxi asked her subconsciously.

Xu Qingzhao drank a sip of tea and said lightly:

"To shoot a man, shoot a horse first; to capture a thief, capture the king first."

Huanxi's eyes lit up instantly. Yes, she was only thinking about how to rescue him, but didn't think about how to fight back?

Since Xiang Manlou wants to play with her, then she will play with Xiang Manlou well.

She didn't grow up eating vegetarian food.

"Miss Zhao, do you have any good ideas?" Chen Yunrui asked when he saw her expression was as wonderful as a blooming flower.

Huanxi shook his head and said in an annoyed tone:

"No, I can't think of anything right now... But Zhenxiu Pavilion can be closed temporarily. If they don't want Zhenxiu Pavilion to open, then they must have made a backup plan. Why don't we take the initiative and wait for the people in Xiangmanlou to take the bait..."

"how do I say this?"

Huanxi waved her hand and said with a smile:

"Come on, come here... let's do this..."

Early next morning

Huanxi stretched out from the backyard of Shuxiangju as if nothing had happened, and it seemed that he had slept well.

Yunchuan was a little anxious.

"Boss...it's almost noon, and there aren't any tables reserved for today. Aren't you anxious?"

Huanxi laughed twice and said:

"Kid, being anxious is the most useless thing in the world. If being anxious were useful, wouldn't everything be accomplished just by being anxious?"

This was a bit difficult to understand, but Yunchuan immediately understood the hidden meaning in her words.

"Has the boss already figured out a countermeasure?"

"Yes, but this matter requires your cooperation."

"Boss, just say whatever you want."

"For the next few days, you all stay in Shuxiangju and don't go out. I know you are good at martial arts. Protect the children well. Not one of them can be missing. Got it?"

This means that danger is coming. Yunchuan nodded and looked towards Xiangmanlou with a gloomy look.

At this time, the voices of the village chief and the clan leader were heard outside the door.

"Isn't there Mao here?"

"I don't know either, uncle. The letter mentioned this place..."

Huanxi hurried out to greet him.

"Grandpa Clan Leader, Uncle Village Leader, you are here. Come in and have a seat. Rest for a while before going to pick up the teacher."

The patriarch waved his hand and said with a smile:

"Oh, little girl, you don't know, when I think about meeting Mr. Jinshi soon, my heart is beating non-stop..."

"Happy girl, your shop is really well decorated. Who is this?" asked the village chief.

Huanxi introduced everyone to everyone, and the children also ran over and called out to them sweetly.

The village chief and the clan leader were also happy to see these children. As they were old, they liked children.

Huanxi didn't say that they were born as beggars, he just said that they were soldiers he hired.

In fact, the two old men knew it very well. Since the girl Huanxi was unwilling to say it, they had no right to take the initiative to say it.

But this girl is kind-hearted. Not only does she lead the village, she also adopts all the orphans in the town. Who has such courage?

After resting for a while in Shuxiangju, Huanxi looked at the two carriages and felt worried.

It was a bit troublesome for her to drive two carriages by herself.

"I can, little girl. Don't forget, your uncle lived in the capital when he was young. I haven't driven a carriage for so many years, so my skills may not be very good, but they are definitely not bad."

"Then you drive the Shufeng, he knows the way, and I'll drive the new one."

"Okay, okay. You have the final say, girl."

When the three of them arrived at Chen's house, the servant at the door had been waiting for a long time.

"Miss Zhao, you are here. My young master has been waiting inside for a long time. Please come in quickly."

Huanxi smiled and handed him the whip, asked him to help feed the horse and threw a small piece of silver. The servant was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling and led the few people into the reception room.
