    Cui Yingying was sitting in the restaurant at the moment, looking at the empty restaurant with dull eyes, and her whole person was filled with an aura of despair.

    At this moment, she felt tired as never before, and all her strength seemed to have been drained away.  It made her feel as if a breeze could blow her down.

    Since something happened in the family and her father passed away, she has put aside the restraint that a girl should have, and started to take over the hotel in an all-round way.

    Originally, she thought that with her intelligence and perseverance, no matter how serious the situation was and how difficult the things were, she would still have the confidence to restore the Cuiji Restaurant to its former glory and fulfill her father's mission before his death.  .

    Although this period of time has been very bitter, tiring, and difficult, she has been gritting her teeth and persevering because she still has hope in her heart and courage in her bones.

    Indeed, God is not really blind. The hard work has finally paid off.  After her hard work during this period, coupled with the former reputation of Cuiji Restaurant's Sauce Pork, although the business of this restaurant is still very mediocre and there is still no balance, at least it is not as bleak as before.

    Just when she was filled with joy, Cui Ji Restaurant finally took a breath and finally saw hope.  Suddenly, she realized that this was just a joke played by God on her.

    Just now, she got news that the Wangji Restaurant next to here also appeared, serving almost exactly the same sauce meat as their Cuiji Restaurant, and it tasted even better.

    At first, she thought that someone was joking with her. You know, the sauced pork in Cui Ji Restaurant is the Cui family's ancestral secret skill. How could others know about it.  It can be said that except for her and the chef of their Cuiji Restaurant, Uncle Zhang, no one knows the secret of this soy sauce pork.

    As for Uncle Zhang, it is absolutely impossible to reveal the secret recipe of this soy sauce pork. She has no doubt about this.

    Speaking of Uncle Zhang, Cui Yingying had to call him uncle.  Because he was an orphan adopted by Cui Yingying's grandfather, and later he and Cui Yingying's father learned cooking from Cui Yingying's grandfather.  Because Zhang Dachu was an honest person, Cui Yingying's grandfather treated him like an adopted son, and Cui Yingying's father always regarded Zhang Dachu as an older brother.

    In the end, Cui Yingying's father even told Zhang Dachu the secret recipe of the ancestral sauce meat without reservation and asked him to take charge of the kitchen.  In this way, Cui Yingying's father was freed from the kitchen and could better manage the restaurant's business.

    For a long time after that, it proved that Cui Yingying's decision was correct, and it also proved that there was absolutely no problem with Zhang Dachu's character.

    With the division of labor and cooperation between these two brothers, Cui Ji Restaurant is booming and the business is getting more and more prosperous.  Faced with countless temptations, Zhang Dachu remained completely unmoved.  For more than ten years, the Cui family's secret recipe for soy sauce meat has never been leaked.  Even Zhang Dachu's son didn't know anything about the secret recipe of sauce meat.

    Now, Cui Yingying certainly didn¡¯t believe it when she heard that the Wangji Restaurant next door could actually make sauce meat that was almost exactly the same as her own restaurant, and even better.

    Of course, this does not rule out the possibility that the other party will develop a new formula on its own.  But, if you think about it carefully, that's impossible.  If the other party really has a better recipe for sauced meat than his family¡¯s recipe.  Back then, they wouldn't have put in so much effort to force their father to hand over the formula.

    However, when Uncle Wang gave Cui Yingying the sauced pork he had just bought from Wangji Restaurant, and as soon as he took a bite, Cui Yingying suddenly turned pale.

    And when she faced Uncle Zhang, who was so tired that he was gray-haired and knelt on the ground crying bitterly for the Cui family, her heart was suddenly filled with an unprecedented despair.

    She also knew the reason why Uncle Zhang did this.  His useless only son was framed. If he didn't hand over the formula, he would be reported to the government and his son would be exiled to the army.

    After weakly waving her hand to Zhang Dachu to retreat, she began to sit there dumbly like this.

    "Miss, are you okay? Don't scare Xiaoyu, wuwu"

    " Xiaoyu is Cui Yingying's personal maid, and she has grown up with Cui Yingying since she was a child.  Although they are called master and servant, they are as close as sisters.

    Since the big changes in the family, Cui Yingying came out to take care of the restaurant, while Xiaoyu was left to take care of the whole family alone.  Because Cui Yingying's family also has an old mother who is bedridden due to excessive grief, and a twelve-year-old brother who needs to be taken care of.

     Xiaoyu, who was hurriedly called by Uncle Wang, saw Cui Yingying look like this, and suddenly felt that the sky was dark and the ground was dark, and she was frightened.

    You must know that Cui Yingying is the backbone and pillar of this family.  Without Cui Yingying, what will happen to this already shaky home?

    "Xiaoyu, why are you here? Well, Uncle Wang asked you to come. Don't worry, I'm fine, I'm just a little tired."

    Sure enough, when she heard Xiaoyu's voice, Cui Yingying finally came to her senses, and then smiled at Xiaoyu.  Unfortunately, this smile made Xiaoyu feel even sadder.

    The two of them grew up together and got along day and night.  They understand each other better than each other.  Not to mention the other person's frown or smile, you can immediately know the other person's thoughts from a casual look in his eyes.

    And in Cui Yingying¡¯s smile just now, Xiaoyu could feel too many things. What made her feel the deepest and most frightening was that she understood something from Cui Yingying¡¯s smile, despair.

    "Miss¡­¡­¡­."

    "Okay, Xiaoyu, stop talking. I'm really tired. Well, we haven't gone out for a walk for a long, long time. Let's go out for an outing today. Otherwise, I don't know what will happen in the future.  No chance"

    Cui Yingying knew that nothing about her could be hidden from the sister who grew up with her.  Without waiting for her to say anything else, he interrupted her.

    Outing?  Spring hasn't even arrived yet, so it's so green.  However, after seeing Cui Yingying's expression, Xiaoyu could only nod in agreement.

    I thought to myself, maybe going for a walk might help the lady feel better.

    After seeing Xiaoyu agreeing, Cui Yingying walked directly outside without saying anything.  She even didn't explain it to the shopkeeper, Lao Wang, because in her opinion, it was meaningless.

    This Wangji Restaurant is originally a more high-end restaurant than Cuiji Restaurant. Not only is it more luxuriously decorated, but the dishes are much more varied than Cuiji Restaurant, and they are also more delicious.  It can be said that except for the secret sauce pork, there is nothing that Cuiji Restaurant can compare with the other restaurant.

    Even at this price, they set it very low, so low that there was basically no profit, or even a loss-making business.

    Cui Yingying is the kind of person who has extremely high talent in business. Of course she can also see that if their Cui Ji Restaurant continues like this, even if they have secret sauce meat to support it, it will not be a long-term solution.  She had been thinking about changing, and at the same time, she also came up with some good ideas.

    "It's a pity that a good woman can't make a meal without rice. Without money, everything is empty talk."

    Even so, she was not discouraged, thinking that as long as she could support the past difficulties and make the restaurant improve a little, she would be able to slowly make adjustments and changes.  She believes that by then, the restaurant's business will definitely get better and better, create greater glory and fulfill her father's instructions before his death.

    When she has the strength, she can defeat Wangji Restaurant in one fell swoop and then take revenge.  She wanted the bastard who caused their family such misery to die a good death.

    Yes, now, she has completely understood that the culprit of all this is that bastard, Wang Youde.

    "It's a pity that she knows that she will never have a chance again, no more."  Even she will have to feed the wolf with her own body in order to preserve this ancestral business.

    In her mind, there is only one thought, that is, no matter what, this ancestral inheritance cannot be lost. This is something that her father will miss until his death.

    The public security environment in Datang was already very good. In addition, this place was on the outskirts of Chang'an City. Therefore, although Xiaoyu felt a little uneasy, she still followed Cui Yingying's wishes and only the two of them came out.

    However, in order to avoid Cui Yingying being too tired from walking, Xiaoyu specially drove a carriage out.  Xiaoyu has learned to drive a carriage since the Cui family suffered great changes and the servants were dispersed.

    "Xiaoyu, look at how beautiful this scenery is"

    Listening to Cui Yingying's words, Xiaoyu looked at the scene of all things withering in front of her, and tears welled up in her eyes.

    Spring is still early.
