I'm also trying to survive today [Western Fantasy]

The booming business of Huita Restaurant is good news for Julian, but it is not good news for other restaurants.

The shopkeeper of the Golden Rose Restaurant, which is two streets away from the Huita Restaurant, looked at his account book with a sad face, and heaved a long sigh.

Seeing this, Xiaoer at the side shrunk his neck, and hurriedly found a corner to clean up.

Since the opening of Huita Restaurant, the business of the restaurant has been in a straight line. It is already lunch time, and there are only three or two kittens in the lobby of the hotel. The face of the shopkeeper is getting uglier every day. The ledger's expression made me wonder if he was going to go bankrupt in the next second...

Just when the shopkeeper was lamenting that his business was not going well, a beautiful woman came in from the door. She was wearing the most popular blue dress in Wangdu, and her black and beautiful hair was loosely tied into a bun. In a bun, her lazy temperament added a bit of charm to her, and everyone who saw her couldn't help shouting in their hearts: Stunning woman!

Xiaoer's eyes lit up immediately, and he hurried over: "Boss, you are here."

"En." The woman responded lightly, looked around the empty lobby, and frowned slightly.

Seeing the boss appearing, the shopkeeper hurriedly greeted her and led her to the backyard room. Two tall and mighty guards stood at the door to prevent any suspicious persons from approaching.

"Tell me, what's going on?" The woman, Mabel, leaned on the chair after entering the room, with a look of fatigue floating between her brows. "I've only been out for more than a month, why is the business so bad? Is someone playing tricks behind the scenes?"

The shopkeeper hurriedly reported the recent events, especially the important point that the behind-the-scenes owner of the newly opened Gray Tower Restaurant is a close friend with Owen, the great knight of the Holy Light Church.

"You mean, Garcia is the backer behind the Gray Tower Restaurant?" Mabel squinted her eyes and asked casually.

The old gentleman in the shopkeeper nodded: "The relationship between the two is very good. That Baron Julian doesn't come to Monk City very often, and almost every time he comes here, he goes back to visit His Excellency Owen."

Mabel rubbed her forehead: "That is to say, this Huita restaurant is useless by any means, just relying on the dishes to suppress all the restaurants in our entire Monk City without any power to fight back? How did he do it? ?”

This is what Mabel doesn't understand. Which restaurant doesn't order special dishes?They are all old shops that have been in business for such a long time. If the chef doesn't even have this ability, he will not be able to do it long ago.Dishes are difficult to develop, but very easy to imitate.

To put it bluntly, find someone with a more sensitive tongue to eat a few more meals, and you can eat roughly the seasoning, and let the chef do more research, how can it be impossible to make it?Even if the taste is a little bit bad, it won't be so helpless to fight back, right?

The shopkeeper asked: "Most of the dishes in their restaurant use pork..."

"Then we can use it too." Mabel said dissatisfied, what happened to the pork?Could it be that her restaurant can't even get pork?

The shopkeeper had a bitter face: "That's the problem. Obviously, pork is fishy and smelly, and only the low class would eat it, but the pork in their restaurant is fragrant and tender. We haven't figured out how to do it yet."

Julian didn't deliberately keep the matter of pigs a secret, but he didn't specifically publicize it. Bill also knew the truth of making a fortune in silence. Don't look at him eating and drinking with those friends, but he was really serious about the pigs. Never told anyone.

This has led many people to realize that the main ingredient of Huita Restaurant is pork, but many people do not believe it is pork.

Mabel also had this thought: "Could it be just a kind of monster meat that looks like pork?"

The old shopkeeper hesitated to speak, Mabel glanced at him: "Speak up if you have something to say."

"It was Mr. Atala who tasted pork."

As soon as Mabel heard it, he no longer doubted it. This Mr. Altara was a famous gourmet in Monk City, and he had the reputation of having a golden tongue. It is said that he could analyze all the ingredients of any delicacies he tasted. Since he It is said that it is pork, so it must not have run away.

"What's Aitara's opinion on there?" Mabel rubbed her eyebrows irritably. There was a problem with a batch of goods in her hand last month. She spent a lot of experience to solve it, and she didn't expect to come back Heard the news again.

"Mr. Aitala said that the dishes at Huita Restaurant are delicious that he has never tasted before, but... he said that although the dishes there are very fresh, there is still room for improvement in terms of cooking."

Mabel sneered when she heard the words: "Does this mean that the chefs in Huita Restaurant are not good enough?"

The old shopkeeper nodded subtly. That guy Aitara really has a mouthful, and his comments are merciless, but this is not a problem for Huita Restaurant for the time being. After all, there are so many tricks in their restaurant. This can support it for a long time.

"The other few have been looking at it like this?" Mabel asked suddenly.

"There is no sign of the other companies making a move, and they seem to be waiting and watching."

Mabel sneered and said, "Heh, it's not like I got the sweetness before, it's waiting for me to make a move. After all, our place is the closest to others, and the impact is the greatest."

"Then...you see, do you want to discuss with...that person?" The old shopkeeper raised his finger and pointed upwards, asking cryptically.

"No need." Mabel shook her head: "Don't go to that lord with such a trivial matter. Favors always get thinner the more you use them. We use them too much now. When life and death are really at stake, it will be useless. .”

"That lord is very particular about things, and those of us can't do too much." Mabel knew very well that the relationship between herself and that lord was not solid. From outsiders, she was the mistress of that lord, but in reality In the world, only she knows that there is no such thing as a mistress. She just helped that adult unintentionally. The other party promised to save him once. Before that, she pulled the tiger skin as a banner and successfully stood in Monk City. But with her courage, she would not dare to use that adult's name to make trouble behind his back.

She has seen the ruthlessness of that lord before—no, to be precise, maybe what she saw was the lord's warning to her.

"You don't need to worry about this matter for the time being. Since they are all waiting to see the good show, let them wait." Mabel said to the old shopkeeper: "When I find time, I will also pay a visit to that Baron Julian. Such people with active brains and backers don’t seize the time to build a good relationship, but also think about dealing with them secretly, I think these people have lived in comfort for too long, and their brains have become rigid.”

The old shopkeeper stopped talking when he heard the words. His boss's vision had always been precise. If it wasn't for this, it would be impossible to establish such a large foundation at such a young age. I have always supported her ideas.

So, in the early morning of the next day, after Julian arrived at the Huita Restaurant, not long after, an exquisite carriage stopped in front of the restaurant, and a beautiful woman walked into the restaurant.

"Who is looking for me?" Julian listened to Nina's report and tried hard to recall when he met a woman named Mabel.

Seeing the lord's confused face, Nina reminded, "Master, if I remember correctly, the owner of the Golden Rose Restaurant two streets away seems to be called Mabel."

Julian looked at Nina in surprise: "That's right, how long have you been here, and you've found out everything around you?"

Nina's face flushed slightly, she puffed her chest out and said, "Since the master asked me to manage this store, the first thing I need to do is to find out the situation of the enemy."

Julian couldn't help laughing: "You've done a good job, but the enemy is an exaggeration, it's just a competitor, and it can't rise to the level of an enemy."

"No, master, you are wrong." Nina said sternly: "A shopping mall is like a battlefield. We must pay attention to every enemy, even those potential opponents." She took out a small notebook with details on it. It recorded all the food-related shops in the entire Monk City, including not only all the restaurants, but even the small shops in the alleys, as long as they have some merits, Nina recorded them.

Julian was almost dumbfounded watching Nina's detailed introduction to the small notebook, such as why the pies in this shop are well seasoned, the noodles in that shop are very strong, and so on...

"Sorry..." Seeing Julian's expression, Nina immediately put away the small notebook in embarrassment. "I'm sorry..."

"No no, you did a good job. I didn't expect you to do things so meticulously." Julian laughed, walked over and patted Nina's little shoulder: "You did a great job, and I will continue to work hard in the future."

"Yes, please rest assured, my lord." Nina's eyes lit up all of a sudden, and being able to get Julian's approval made her heart burn.

"Ahem, well, we can't make the guests wait any longer, it would be too rude." Julian coughed dryly, reminding Nina that there are still people waiting outside.

Nina blushed slightly, tugged at her little skirt, put on a ladylike posture, and led Julian to the reception room.

As soon as the door of the reception room opened, Julian noticed the woman sitting on the sofa.

This is a very beautiful lady, her languid posture gives her a charming charm, as long as she is there, no one can ignore her existence, such a woman is indeed worthy of the word stunner.

Julian has always admired beautiful women. Although he will not feel any impulse because of this beauty, it is clear that human beings have a common pursuit of beauty.

"Hello, Ms. Mabel." Julian greeted politely.

Mabel giggled, raised her skirt and saluted, "Hello, Baron Julian. Ms. Nina."

Mabel succeeded in gaining Julian's favor with just one sentence. Although Nina is the store manager here, people's long-standing concept of goblins has made many people ignore Nina's efforts. What she did was what she should have done, what Julian had taught her, and she herself was not worth mentioning.

Mabel was the first person to formally greet Nina, and based on this alone, as long as the lady's comments were not excessive, Julian planned to agree to her.

Owen Diary:

Knowing that Julian would come today, I deliberately rushed to the restaurant early, but what did I see?Julian is actually having a good time with a very beautiful lady? ?

I admit, I'm jealous...

I can never forget that I forced Julian, but I don't regret it.

If it weren't for what I did, Julian and I would be two parallel lines that would never meet.

Even just imagining that scene gives me chills all over my body.

I want to control myself... I know Julian won't betray me, I can't interfere with his friendship, but I...

Still pissed!

No, stop eating, Evans, keep an eye on them, and come to me when they finish talking!

Kay, come here, let's find a place to practice!

Kai:? ? ?
