MDMP Chapter 79.2

Courting Death (2)

Advertisement

Li Dashu and his wife were immediately busy and flustered. But although they were busy, they kept smiling.

Li Dashu and his wife were smiling all the time, but Lin Juan was having a hard time.

The two steamed bun shops were not too far apart from each other. Since Dashu Baozi Shop’s business was doing well, Lin Juan’s business naturally declined a lot.

In addition, the buns made by Li Dashu were also more delicious than those made by Lin Juan.

Lin Juan had learned a few tricks from the old man she took care of in her previous life, so her cooking skills were also impressive.

However, Lin Juan was very ambitious and only learned from those delicacies that looked exquisite and classy. She didn’t put much thought into common foods like steamed buns, so the taste of the steamed buns she made was only average.

In the past few years in the canteen of the staff quarters, when Lin Juan first entered, she had other purposes in mind and performed very seriously.

But later, when she found that it was useless, she started to fool around. So after a few years, her cooking skills didn’t improve much.

Between the steamed buns made by Lin Juan, which were generally more expensive, and the steamed buns made by Li Dashu, which were delicious and cheap, even a fool would know to choose the latter!

So, the people who originally bought steamed buns from Lin Juan went to Li Dashu, and then the business of Lin Juan’s steamed bun shop suddenly became bad.

Lin Juan originally disliked that the steamed bun shop didn’t make as much money as she expected, but now she made even less money, she immediately became anxious.

Lin Juan felt that Li Dashu’s buns sold better than hers because they were cheap, so she might as well lower the price.

Lin Juan’s original buns cost 5 cents each, while Li Dashu’s buns cost 4 cents each.

Lin Juan was a little reluctant to reduce the price of a bun by one cent. After much thought, she finally put up a sign at the door of the store with a few big words written on it: 2 buns for 7 cents each.

In this way, her price was not only lower than Li Dashu’s, but she could also sell two at a time, so she would not lose money.

Lin Juan’s strategy was still feasible. Some people who were looking for bargains came to Lin Juan to buy buns again, which helped her business improve.

Yang Xiaomei was actually secretly observing Lin Juan’s movements. Seeing her lowering the price, she knew that Lin Juan was competing with them.

Yang Xiaomei had originally had a very bad impression of Lin Juan because she had taken over their original store. Seeing that Lin Juan had lowered the price again, she couldn’t help but complain to Li Dashu.

“Lin Juan did this on purpose. Do you think we should also lower the price?”

“What are you thinking? We are originally selling at a low profit but in large quantities. It’s good to have a business. Why should we compete with others?” Li Dashu disagreed.

Yang Xiaomei thought about it and felt that it was true. There was no need to compete with Lin Juan but end up hurting her own business.

Yang Xiaomei didn’t compete with Lin Juan, but Lin Juan instead brought disaster upon herself.

That afternoon, Zhao Suisui was just returning home from school when she saw a group of men carrying weapons walking through the alley.

These men were all tall and strong, with expressions on their faces that indicated they were not to be messed with.

Ah Huang, who came out to pick up Zhao Suisui, saw them. It stood in front of Zhao Suosui and barked at them fiercely.

The leading man looked at Zhao Suisui and the dog at her feet and realized that they had frightened the little girl. He turned around and told the people behind him, “Go, go, go faster!”

The group of people then quickened their pace and walked past Zhao Suisui.

Zhao Suisui looked in the direction where they were going, touched her chin, and thought for a while. Then, she ran home quickly to put down her school bag and took Ah Huang out the door again.

As she walked, she did not forget to say, “Ah Huang, don’t bark when there are too many people later!”
