Chapter 184 Arson
Just as the Wu family was immersed in the joy of Dalang and Erlang's return and the happiness of reunion, a craze for seasoning packets suddenly swept Anyang City.
These seasoning packets were introduced by unknown vendors in a wide variety of flavors and quickly gained a foothold in the market. This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Wenxiangju, which relied on unique seasonings and secret recipes to attract customers.
Originally, Wenxiangju wanted to become unique in Anyang City with the Wu family's seasonings, and had already made a small profit. Business had also picked up.
However, as these new seasoning packets emerged, diners were attracted by their novelty and variety of choices and turned to buying these seasoning packets to cook at home or choosing other restaurants that adopted the new seasoning packets.
Now it is not only used in restaurants, but ordinary people also use it and make it themselves.
As a result, the customer flow of Wenxiangju dropped sharply, and the business fell into a slump again. They knew that if they could not respond to this challenge in time, Wenxiangju would face greater difficulties.
Guo Shun narrowed his eyes and said, "Brother, I think it was the trick of Mr. Xie from Wu's Youranju. Otherwise, how could they give us the secret recipe so readily? Two hundred taels in exchange for the recipe, two hundred taels may seem like a lot, but compared to the profit generated by the recipe, two hundred taels is nothing."
It was not until this time that Shopkeeper Xie realized that since he was using the beauty trap, wouldn't others be able to cut off the source of the problem?
In anger, Manager Guo completely lost his mind, and there was no mercy in his heart. Recalling what the waiter had said before - "If you can't get it, destroy it", he made up his mind to make the Wu family disappear in Anyang City, so as to ensure that Wenxiangju's position in the business world is unshakable.
In the silence of the night, the conspiracy secretly planned by Manager Guo was quietly carried out. He ordered his men to burn down the Wu family in an attempt to eliminate business competitors through destructive means.
Outside the Wu family, a pair of eyes in the darkness were staring at the figure in the distance. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, capturing any abnormalities around him.
As the two men in black quietly approached the Wu family, their footsteps were unusually clear in the silent night.
Erlang Wu Yu heard the footsteps first. He reacted quickly, gently pushed open the door, and waited for the thief to arrive.
The two men in black, each holding a jar of wine and a fire starter, were obviously preparing to use fire to achieve their goal. However, their actions were exposed in front of Wu Yu.
When one of them was about to pour the wine, Wu Yu suddenly appeared and caught the thief. After a fierce fight, Wu Yu subdued the two men in black and beat them half to death.
Afterwards, Wu Yu threw the two men in black into the woodshed, which alarmed the people at home. The first one was Dalang, who asked Ding to take good care of the children.
When I arrived at the yard, I saw my younger brother Wu Yu dragging someone towards the backyard with one hand.
At this time, Jiang Yi and Xue Qing also heard the sound of fighting in the yard. They put on their clothes and went out to see that the brothers Dalang and Erlang were dragging each other towards the backyard.
Wu Yu saw the two of them and said only two words: "Go in."
Xue Qing walked straight past as if he hadn't heard anything. When they arrived at the woodshed, Wu Yu briefly explained the situation. Xue Qing had never expected that there was such a vicious person.
Although his expression remained calm, he was actually frightened inside, but more of it was furious. Without waiting for Wu Yu to react, he went up and slapped the two men. However, Xue Qing didn't slap them with his hands, but with the soles of his shoes... the soles!
