Hailan was looking at the factory with a blue face. The batch of goods sold in the morning were sold leftovers yesterday, and it was directly on the market without inspection. The new snow mud made today was also salty. The problem was with the sugar powder. The salt was mixed in. Hailan quickly thought about various possibilities. This was definitely not a mistake for the workers. They used the same raw materials these days. Why didn’t something happen a few days ago? Besides, someone put salt in the leftover snow mud yesterday. This was obviously someone deliberately destroyed it. Who did it? Who did it! Hailan was extremely angry. Someone had something happened after selling the snow mud. After a few days, who would dare to buy his things again.

"Who was the last one who left yesterday, and who was responsible for the vigil last night, check it out one by one."

Hai Jiu, who was following Hai Lan, was frightened. He was the inn of the entire Hai family and the deacon in the catering industry. He was the ultimate responsible person for this incident. He heard the master's order, and he whispered in a hurry: "Master, I think this matter may not be done by insiders."

Hailan turned around and said, "Why? What are your reasons?"

"Master, there are at least dozens of kilograms of salt mixed with powdered sugar. People who come to work every day have to go through strict searches before entering. It is impossible to bring dozens of kilograms of salt in. As for those sent to watch, they are carefully selected by the third master. Loyalty should not be a problem. And no one has suddenly disappeared now, so the subordinates think that this should not be done by insiders, and it is very likely that someone sneaked into the factory at night."

"Then who do you think it did it?"

"It should be Li Qing, but his subordinates thought he didn't have the ability yet. Even if he could spend money to hire a master, he would never find where our factory is. Now Chengdu has this manpower and is incompatible with the master, only the Shi family and the Tang family."

The snow mud factory is extremely secretive. The products are delivered to Haifu every day, and then transported to various streets of Chengdu by carriages. If you don’t have a large amount of manpower, it is impossible to find this place, so Haijiu’s speculation is not unreasonable.

But Hailan sneered coldly: "You are wrong. I have been dealing with the Shi family and the Tang family for decades. If they do it, they should be arsenic or croton, which is definitely not as simple as salt. This person is still a little immature and has a spicy but not poisonous method. This matter must be done by Li Qing, because only he knows that the snow mud is made of powdered sugar, and as for how he knows the location of the factory." Hailan glanced at everyone with a cold look, "It must be someone among us who revealed it."

The whole workshop was silent, and everyone's nervous heartbeat could even be heard.

Hailan suddenly remembered that he saw Hai Zhongtian in front of the Wangjiang Restaurant that night. He felt enlightened in his heart and sighed secretly: "People say brothers are like brothers, but this is empty!"

"Master, we have no sugar stored anymore. Now the price of sugar suddenly rises. Should we temporarily suspend work for a few days?"

"The price of sugar has exploded?" Hailan was surprised. He glanced at Hai Jiu and said, "What's going on?"

"I don't know the specific reason. The sudden out-of-stock sugar on Chengdu's market these days has caused the price of sugar to surge. Our cost is ten cents. If we buy at the current sugar price, it may rise to fifteen cents. In this way, we will lose too much. What I mean is to temporarily suspend work for a few days, wait for the new sugar to be purchased before production, or we may increase the price of snow mud."

Hailan suddenly realized that such a vicious chain plan, he first controlled the sugar source, and then destroyed his own sugar storage, trying to cut off the production of snow mud from the root. Now something happened to his own snow mud. If the sudden stop of production, it would confirm that the rumors were true, and it would not work! He must not succeed.

"No matter what, we cannot stop production. We must try our best to get sugar. Regardless of the price, we must use our own channels to purchase goods directly from Yangzhou, so we must quickly! As for the price of snow mud," Hailan pondered for a moment: "The price remains unchanged, but it is still five cents."

Although Haijia Snow Mud was hit hard, its vitality was not lost. The next day, the raw materials were purchased and put into production again, but the sugar price became extremely high, causing the cost of Haijia Snow Mud to rise suddenly. However, in order to compete for the market and completely defeat Wangjianglou Snow Mud, Haijia was still unaffected by rumors. With its strong strength, it still maintained a low price of 5 cents.

But at this moment, Li Qing's third punch of the combined punch quietly took action.

In the early morning of that day, the sky was gray and there were few pedestrians near Sima Bridge. There were only some vendors selling vegetables and breakfast food that sold breakfast had left the stall early. Some people suddenly found a huge signboard moved out in the Wangjiang Restaurant. Several vendors left the stall and ran over. A person who knew the words read it out loud: 'The recipe and method of making snow mud in Wangjiang Restaurant!'

The following are densely covered with the required materials, methods for making ice, cones, and how to make snow mud, all of which are disclosed in broad daylight.

This was like a bomb suddenly blew up over Chengdu. The shock wave spread rapidly around with Wangjiang Restaurant as the center. In less than an hour, the square in front of Wangjiang Restaurant was already crowded with people. Businessmen who captured business opportunities and housekeepers of wealthy families, but the most were small vendors with dreams of making money. Some scholars even copied the prescriptions and set up a table, and praised them for illiterate people at a price of fifty or one hundred.

The people in the square had not dispersed, but more people rushed over when they heard the news. Several people rushed towards the thick crowd in the square. The signs were filled with dense heads, excited, excited, surprised, and all kinds of expressions hung on people's faces.

In the afternoon, Chengdu's markets and markets were filled with people who were holding prescriptions to buy raw materials. Sugar, cream, milk and even saltpeter became popular. However, the most cost-effective sugar was not only astonishingly high, but also difficult to buy, becoming an insurmountable roadblock. Just when everyone was at a loss, news suddenly came that sugar was available in Wangjiang Restaurant, and was far lower than the market price. This was undoubtedly a great news for countless small-scale vendors. There was a long queue in front of Wangjiang Restaurant again.

Suddenly, the spring breeze came, and thousands of pear trees bloomed. The next day, the streets of Chengdu were filled with mobile vendors selling snow mud. The goods were good and cheap. While people praised them, they were puzzled. Why did Wangjiang Restaurant suddenly make this secret recipe for making money?

With a "bang!", the teacup was thrown to the ground and broken into powder.

"Shameless! Despicable!"

Four words squeezed out from Hailan's teeth, his face turned blue and white, and he couldn't help but roar: "Bastard! I'm going to tear you apart."

Li Qing's move was extremely insidious. He first hoarded sugar and increased the price of sugar, and then severely damaged the reputation of Haijia Xueni. Finally, he suddenly made the formula of Xueni public. He escaped from the business war of Xueni and launched countless stall vendors to compete with the Haijia. In this way, Haijia's early investment and losses caused by sales at a loss were all required to swallow it.

Hailan fell on the chair dejectedly. Although the loss of snow mud was nothing to him, the taste of failure made him difficult to swallow. This was the second failure in ten years. The first failure was just a month ago, and the opponent was the same person.

"Father, let's leave this matter to the child!"

Hai Zhongheng, who had just arrived after hearing the news, just learned about this, and he couldn't help but feel angry. Li Qing was really bullying. He was just the owner of a restaurant. He dared to ride on the Hai family's neck and act wildly.

"Kill!" A vicious word "kill" suddenly burst out from Hai Zhongheng's heart.

Unexpectedly, Hailan, who had recovered from his sacrificial aid, waved his hand to him and said, "Go to read your book, you don't have to worry about this. If you can pass the Jinshi, it will be the greatest honor of my Hai family."

"You all go down and let me be quiet!"

The door closed, and the room was pitch black and quiet. Hailan's mind quickly calmed down. After decades of ups and downs in the business world, he had experienced countless failures and setbacks. None of them was much more serious than this matter. In this business war, he only lost thousands of guan. This was just a drizzle in the trade volume of more than 100,000 guan per year in the Hai family. Perhaps it was because he had been too smooth over the years, so even this small setback would lose his composure.

Hailan opened his eyes slightly, and suddenly he heard the sound of rapid footsteps coming from the yard. It was the third brother Haiba who came. The footsteps became louder and louder. The door was pushed open with a 'bang!', and Haiba strode into the door excitedly.

"Brother, the news from Langzhong is here!"

Hailan jumped up as he thought, just glanced at him and whispered: "Close the door first."

Hai Baru was splashed with cold water on the face, took a quick step back, closed the door, and the room fell into darkness again. He looked at his elder brother carefully.

"Brother, the news from Langzhong is here."

"Say it! What's the result?"

"The person I sent out to investigate in Langzhong for several months. Li Qing originally opened a shop in a restaurant in Langzhong and made money by selling snow mud. This shows that he is not a royal family. Later, the person sent to meet a vendor selling fake medicine on the street, saying that Li Qing was originally selling popsicles on the street of Yilong. My subordinates rushed to Yilong and found out that Li Qing had done some lottery tickets. He was arrested by the government. He learned from the county magistrate that he was just a big family's seat, big brother, little man!"

"Little man?"

Hailan sneered and said, "But it was this little person who beat me up twice to make my Hai family dirty. If he was a little person, then what was my Hai family?"

"But-" Haiba was about to speak, but was stopped by Hailan.

"Whether he is a royal family or a small person, it is no longer important now. The place where he lives has been guarded by officers and soldiers. The empty military camp next to Wangjiang Restaurant that has been empty for more than ten years has suddenly garrisoned. What does this mean? Third brother, tell me!"

"Can't it be..."

"That's right, this only means that Zhang Qiu Jianqiong is supporting him behind him, so he dares to take action like this and is not afraid of our revenge."

"Did you just endure this anger?"

"Who said I have to endure it? But I have to see the situation clearly before I can prescribe the right medicine. I can't be anxious. Our Hai family has been in a century and can learn from every failure. This time it should be the same. Failure is not terrible. What's terrible is that if you fall again in the same place, it will be no longer late for a real man to take revenge for ten years, so there is no rush for this moment."

When Hailan said this, he suddenly smiled and said, "The so-called "Shi Wu lost his horse, how can you know the good and bad luck? He has to thank him. If it weren't for this contest with Li Qing, I wouldn't have noticed that there was a wolf hidden beside me."
