I Know Everything

Chapter 20: Is something wrong?

The first thing Chen Huan did when he got into the Shui Family home was to tell Shui Qingshan what happened.

Shui Qingshan and Xia He's faces turned a bit unsightly.

Only Shui Qianyu was calm, "It was inevitable, these aunties are just normal people. They would definitely be willing to disclose some information or steal a bit of the spices powders if somebody give them 1000 or 2000 yuan. But we shouldn't worry as long the recipe is in our hand."

"The recipe... it shouldn't be easy to reproduce it, right?" Shui Qingshan asked.

Only Shui Qianyu and Chen Huan knew the recipe. Shui Qingshan never asked and Shui Qianyu never show it to him.

"Chen Huan and I have already tried it before. The taste will have huge difference if the proportion was different of if it lacked one or two ingredients." Shui Qianyu explained. "The aroma and freshness only appear when the ratio is accurate."

"That's great!"

Xia He breathed sigh of relief, "But how can we face against them? We don't know who in the small noodle shop betrayed either."

"There are so many customers every day and everyone is so busy. It's too easy if somebody wanted to do something." Chen Huan groaned, "But everybody is neighbors after all. They won't be able to reproduce it the perfect ratio even if they have the finished produce as long we they don't have the recipe. We can only ignore it for now."

"This is hateful!" Shui Qingshan slammed the table, "We are so good to them and give them 200 yuan per day but they repay us like that?"

"It's not everyone, don't put them all together." Shui Qianyu said beside him. "They would try a few more times before they realize it would be useless and then obviously they wouldn't try to buy them anymore. Not to mention the majority of aunties are very diligent and not bad people."

"Yes, rather than being angry, we should plan about how to deal against the next plot they try to do." Chen Huan said, "I looked a bit at that Chen Zhisheng and he doesn't seem the type to give up after a little setback."

"He dares!"

Shui Qingshan angrily said, "If he dares to come before me, I dare to beat him up!"

Chen Huan and Shui Qianyu couldn't help but have a bitter smile.

It would be great if things were just that simple!

Fact had proved that Chen Huan's worry was necessary.

The next morning at 8 o'clock, it was one the busiest time of the day. A customer sitting and eating noodles suddenly fell to the ground and cried.

"Aiyo! My stomach... my stomach hurt... what kind of noodles are these!? There's a problem in it!"

The small noodle shop frontage wasn't small as the man in his twenties cries of pain and tumbling around scared the group of customers that came to eat noodles.

Several kind hearted people rushed up to help him, "Boss! Boss, hurry up and get him some warm water!"

"Ah... it hurts... it really hurts... quickly send me to the hospital..." The man whole body trembled as his eyes were closed.

Shui Qingshan and Xia He were startled and quickly ran over in a moment, "Are you alright? Hold on! We'll get you a doctor!"

Another young man stood up and said, "Boss, you have no conscience! The business is so good and ingredient is still no used properly!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" A girl spoke up, "He just ate a plain noodles and his rolling on the ground in pain. Isn't too exaggerated, bro?"
