"Weigh it. Ten catties of pig intestines, ten catties of meat, seven catties of pig head meat, and ten catties of braised pig trotters."
Ever since the evidence was confirmed, Luo Dazhuang had calmed down a lot. He weighed the braised meat one by one, which was slightly more than what Su Xiaoxiao had said.
Su Ergou patted his chest and said, "We will never be short of money!"
"How much are you planning to sell it for?" Luo Dazhuang asked.
"Thirty copper coins for the meat and forty copper coins per catty for the rest."
Luo Dazhuang was shocked. "No way? You're selling pork at such a high price?"
Su Xiaoxiao said, "What's rare is precious. My formula and taste are worth this price!"
"Alright, don't blame me if you can't sell it."
It would be strange if anyone bought such expensive pig offal.
At Jin Ji, Manager Sun came in early for work. At this moment, he was testing the freshly cooked snacks with a few chefs in the cubicle.
"How is it?" Manager Sun asked.
The cooks looked at each other and shook their heads.
It didn't taste right.
"Too sweet," said a cook named Li.
He was a senior chef in Jin Ji and had been working for more than ten years. Logically speaking, his culinary skills were not bad.
"Why is it sweet again?" Manager Sun frowned. "The pot was bland just now, and this pot is sweet. What… is wrong?"
Chef Li said, "I can taste what ingredients she used, but I can't make it taste like a Wife Cake."
Chef Wang said, "The heat control and the ratio of ingredients are also very important. Sometimes, the difference is too great. Haven't people been fighting to imitate our snacks, but they can't make them taste like ours either?"
Everyone else nodded.
Manager Sun said angrily, "The problem now is that someone made it! It's even better than Jin Ji! Didn't you hear what the customers said?"
"She probably didn't imitate our snacks…"
A new chef said weakly.
"How could she not have!" Manager Sun glared at him.
The new chef fell silent.
"She must have improved our formula," said another chef with the surname Liu.
Manager Sun said coldly, "If she can improve, can't you do the same? To think few men can't beat a small village girl. If word gets out, what will happen to our Jin Ji?"
Jin Ji was an established brand after all. The influence of the wife cake was not too great. After all, the little fat village girl only sold a few a day.
But it wasn't like it didn't affect them at all. He had heard guests discussing more than once that their pancake wasn't as delicious as the Wife Cakes.
This was a great humiliation!
"Why don't… we chase her away?" Chef Liu suggested.
"Do you think I don't want to chase you away?" Manager Sun rolled his eyes.
"She saved our customer. If we chase her away, what will the customers think? Besides, she's not at the main entrance of Jin Ji. She's not blocking the way or affecting the customers. Why should we chase her away?"
Manager Sun was a little cunning, but he was also business-minded. He knew the importance of the store's image and did not wish to do anything to ruin Jin Ji's reputation.
"Continue to think about the formula. I'll come up with ideas."

There was a long queue at the entrance of Jin Ji as usual, but soon, an unbelievable scene happened.
The moment Su Xiaoxiao's Wife Cakes were placed on display, many customers in the queue moved in front of her.
Hence, she also formed a small queue.
It was naturally incomparable to Jin Ji, but to a vendor who dared to sell snacks at the entrance of Jin Ji, it was already a rare sight.
"Miss! Are there any with chestnuts today? I didn't eat them yesterday!"
A young man stuck his head out and asked.
