She becomes a scripted world, and saves others by watching the comments section.

Chapter 119 Did they have a backup plan all along?!

The live streaming system couldn't understand why the braised food recipe it collected from another dimension would be known to anyone other than Ma Yiyi. The live streaming system believed that Ma Yiyi had accidentally leaked it to others.

Ma Yiyi felt that the live-streaming system was using the world's original secret formula as a reward to fool her.

Xia Mo watched the dog-eat-dog fight with his divine sense and a smile crept onto his lips.

It's beautiful and interesting. We can have more; she likes it.

Clearly, Ma Yiyi is at a disadvantage.

After being criticized twice, the live streaming system completely ignored Ma Yiyi and silently added half an hour to the penalty time.

In the lobby of the Drunken Dream Restaurant—

Wei's confidant frowned when he saw that there was only one pound of braised food.

"I want ten catties," Wei's confidant said, his words carrying a hint of command, relying on the status of the Wei family in the capital.

“It’s winter now, and wild game is hard to find in the mountains. All I can give you is this pound,” Lu Xun paused, not giving Wei’s confidant a chance to speak, and continued, “Your master is a powerful figure in the capital, which is why there is such an exception. At the same time, I also need to give an explanation to the guests at the restaurant. Therefore, this exceptional price is ten taels per pound.”

Wei Qinxin stared wide-eyed at Lu Xun, who was making outrageous demands.

"Are you crazy for money?!" Wei's confidant raised his voice.

Customers who came to the restaurant to drink stood inside and watched, while passersby on the street outside stopped to look at the people inside.

“Distinguished guest, you are a confidant of a powerful figure in the capital. Can’t you afford ten taels of silver?” Lu Xun did not agree with Wei’s words, but instead changed the subject.

The subtext is: If you can't even afford ten taels of silver, how can you call yourself a powerful and influential person in the capital?

Wei's confidant glared at Lu Xun and said, "I can't make this decision for ten taels of silver. I have to go back and ask."

Lu Xun knew this would happen, and he sighed.

Now things are really messed up. The amount of braised food in the restaurant will have to be reduced again. Ten catties a day is not enough to sell! He even thought about whether to raise the price of the braised food again, or to make some changes to the portion size and cut some of it.

Lu Xun figured that Wei's confidant definitely wouldn't come. After all, who would be so foolish as to spend ten taels of silver on a pound of braised food? But he couldn't leave immediately; he had to wait here a little longer.

Less than a quarter of an hour later, Wei's confidant arrived, bringing ten taels of silver to buy the pound of braised food.

Lu Xun looked at Wei Qinxin with surprise.

Wei's confidant tossed out a curt "Shady businessman!" and strode away.

Lu Xun clasped his hands in a fist salute to the onlookers and hurried away.

"Miss Xia, Young Master Xia! It's done, it's done!" Lu Xun held ten taels of silver in one hand and lifted the front of his robe with the other, running lightly towards the backyard. He still found it unbelievable.

Brother Xia took the ten taels of silver, and when he realized it was Wei Zhishu's money, his face turned sour.

Xia Mo smiled and said, "Master Lu, you are very capable."

"Hahaha……"

When Lu Xun heard Xia Mo praise him, he laughed out loud happily, just because it was Xia Mo praising him, like a child who had eaten his favorite candy.

"Little sister, shall we spend these ten taels of silver?" Brother Xia didn't want to keep these ten taels in his hands for too long, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

Xia Mo said with a smile, "Big brother, we made a lot of money from that annoying guy. I bet he'll feel the pinch if he eats just one piece of that pound of braised food, right?"

Brother Xia thought about it and realized that was the case, so he felt it was okay.

Lu Xun's puzzled gaze swept over Xia Mo and Brother Xia.

"What grudge do they have against you?" Lu Xun hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help asking out of curiosity.

Neither Xia Mo nor Brother Xia seemed inclined to offer an explanation.

"Brother, would you like to take a stroll around Anning Prefecture?" Xia Mo suggested.

Lu Xun didn't get an answer, but he wasn't discouraged. He said, "I know Anning Prefecture well. How about I treat you to a tour of the prefecture?"

“You’re probably in trouble and can’t leave,” Xia Mo said, taking out a tanning cream and starting to apply it to her face, neck, arms and other exposed skin.

If Huangfu Qian were here, he would have noticed that Xia Mo hadn't deliberately pulled open her collar to wipe herself this time; he would have noticed that Xia Mo had deliberately pulled open her collar in front of him.

Summer's end urged Brother Xia to apply it as well.

Lu Xun felt that Xia Mo's words were somewhat nonsense, even if Xia Mo was beautiful and had a sweet voice.

Just as Lu Xun was about to ask more probing questions, the waiter from the front yard came over.

"Master, a young man who claims to be your elder brother is coming over," the waiter said. He didn't recognize Lu Hao, but he knew that his master did indeed have an elder brother.

Lu Xun glanced at Xia Mo in surprise.

"What is he doing here?!" Lu Xun was certain that the person who came was Lu Hao.

"I don't know," the waiter replied.

Lu Xun didn't expect to get an answer from the waiter at all.

Xia Mo separated a wisp of divine consciousness and attached it to Lu Xun to watch the show.

Lu Xun and Lu Hao met.

Lu Hao immediately began by scolding, saying, "Second brother, have you ever considered how your opening this restaurant will affect our family's restaurant?! We're all family, how can you harm the interests of your own family?!"

The Lu family's "Two Ounces of Intoxication" business was doing very well, with a daily profit of around twenty taels. However, since the "Drunken Dream" restaurant opened, in the past two days, the restaurant's daily revenue has only been around ten taels! That's a full half less.

Lu Hao is responsible for the lost revenue of the restaurant.

“I specifically opened this restaurant here, at least four streets away from Erliangzui,” Lu Xun said coldly. “If your restaurant’s business is still affected by such a distance, then it’s your own incompetence.”

"you……"

Lu Hao was choked and glared angrily at Lu Xun.

Lu Xun said coldly, "I have other things to do, so I won't see you out."

"Wait a minute, half of the braised food from your restaurant has to be given to Erliangzui," Lu Hao said directly to Lu Xun, making a request and giving an order, asking for a favor without showing any sign of asking for a favor.

“I refuse. Our restaurant doesn’t even have enough for its own needs,” Lu Xun said without hesitation.

"Heh, I'm only speaking to you out of respect. Did you want your father to come and talk to you?!" Lu Hao sneered, his tone laced with threat.

“Oh, then let him talk to me,” Lu Xun’s eyes flickered, a hint of emotion in them.

"you……"

Lu Hao left in anger, and soon after, his mother, Lu's mother, came over with him.

Lu's mother was clearly always near the Drunken Dream Restaurant.

"With parents alive, children have no private property. When are you going to hand over the account books for this restaurant?" Mother Lu came up with a ruthless move.

***

The backyard of the Drunken Dream Restaurant is off-limits to outsiders.

"His-"

Xia Mo used her divine sense to share her vision with her elder brother Xia, so that he could also see the situation Lu Xun was facing.

When Brother Xia saw that Mother Lu had directly cut off all support, he gasped in shock.

"Little sister, if that's really the case, wouldn't our braised food business be in trouble..." Brother Xia said with some worry.

Xia Mo, however, seemed somewhat unconvinced. Her confidence piqued Xia's curiosity; did she have a backup plan all along?
