Lin Mai gave Fang Zhuoran some popular science: "Because people use baking powder, the dough will be foamy and the steamed buns will look bigger.
I couldn’t buy baking powder, so I used old dough with alkali added to make the dough. No matter how I made it, it wasn’t as effective as baking powder.”
"So that's it." Fang Zhuoran nodded: "I'll help you get baking powder later."
Lin Mai knew that he had a wide network of contacts and that he had a way to get baking powder that was not available on the market, so he happily thanked him.
When she also has baking powder, she can attack the next door!
For several days in a row, business was getting better and better day by day, and Zhou Caiyun felt the wind at his feet when he worked every day.
At noon that day, after the business ended, Zhou Caiyun cleaned the steamer with a happy face and said to Lin Mai: "Let's just return to the original quantity for breakfast tomorrow morning."
Lin Mai shook his head: "We can't recover all at once, don't forget, the old witch next door sells it cheaper than us.
There was too much supply at once, and I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to sell them all.
The weather is already very hot now, and we can’t sell out all the food. It might spoil after being left for a long time. It’s such a waste. Let’s wait until Professor Fang buys baking powder for me.”
Zhou Caiyun felt a little resentful: "I really want to kill the old witch next door as soon as possible."
She hated her neighbor so much that she wished Aunt Hu would shut down her business today.
Lin Mai looked at her askance: "Do you think we can kill the next door guy?"
Zhou Caiyun asked back: "Can't you?"
"No! She has a heritage in cooking, and her prices are lower than ours. One is cheaper than three, so someone will always buy from her.
Besides, this street is so busy and has such a large flow of people, there are always unsuspecting passers-by going in to buy."
"But at least it can squeeze her family's business to death, making the old witch feel exhausted every day, but she can't make much money."
Lin Mai nodded: "You can have this."
Two days later, Fang Zhuoran got Lin Mai five bags and one pound of baking powder.
As soon as he got off work, he carried the five packets of baking powder in his net bag to Lin Mai's snack bar.
Shi Zhenxiang was overjoyed to see him from afar.
Ever since she met Fang Zhuoran by chance last time, she had secretly fallen in love with him and wanted to see him again every day.
Coincidentally, she has never met him since then.
They met today, and she wanted to create opportunities to strike up a conversation with him.
As long as she can strike up a conversation, she can legitimately have more contact with him without fear of not being able to win over this young and handsome doctor.
After all, women chase men, and there is a veil between them.
Thinking of this, Shi Zhenxiang quickened her pace.
When he walked to Fang Zhuoran, he deliberately pretended to have sprained ankles and fell down on him.
Fang Zhuoran instinctively ducked to the side, and Shi Zhenxiang fell to the ground gorgeously.
In summer, the road is hard and hot, and it's no problem to fry an egg.
As soon as Shi Zhenxiang fell to the ground, she screamed because she was so hot.
Fang Zhuoran saw this and was about to help Shi Zhenxiang when he saw Aunt Hu rushing out of her shop to help Shi Zhenxiang.
He scolded Fang Zhuoran indiscriminately: "You don't have eyes when you walk, you knock people to the ground!"
Fang Zhuoran's face suddenly darkened: "Which of your eyes saw that I knocked her to the ground?!"
Shi Zhenxiang also wanted to strike up a conversation with Fang Zhuoran so that she could capture him later, so how could she let her own mother wrongly accuse him?
He immediately said to his own mother: "Mom - you misunderstood, I fell down myself."
Aunt Hu saw that she had wrongly blamed Fang Zhuoran, but she didn't feel any guilt at all. She helped Shi Zhenxiang and left.
Shi Zhenxiang turned her head and apologized to Zhuo Ran: "My mother is too nervous about me, don't take it to heart!"
Fang Zhuoran said coldly: "It's not that your mother is too nervous about you, but she's not a reasonable person at all!"
When Aunt Hu heard this, she immediately became furious: "Who are you calling unreasonable?"
"You, can't you understand what people say?"
Although Fang Zhuoran disdained to quarrel with women, Aunt Hu was so hateful that she forced him to break his guard.
"Who can't understand what you are saying? Who are you scolding?"
Aunt Hu dropped her daughter and rushed towards Fang Zhuoran. Shi Zhenxiang tried to pull her back but failed.
Fang Zhuoran's quarrel with a woman was already at his limit. It was almost impossible for him to start a fight with an aunt.
Before Aunt Hu could pounce on him, he had already stepped aside.
Aunt Hu couldn't hold her foot back and landed on her face with a thud, making passersby laugh.
When Aunt Hu raised her head from the ground in anger, her pockmarked face was already covered with nosebleeds.
She didn't get up either. She sat on the ground and shouted in a loud voice: "He's been beaten! The professor of the Medical University has been beaten!"
"Professor Fang, what exactly is going on?"
Lin Mai, who heard the noise in the store, hurriedly ran out.
He glanced at Aunt Hu who was lying on the ground with disgust, and then looked at Fang Zhuoran questioningly.
Fang Zhuoran downplayed: "It's okay, I met a troublemaker."
Aunt Hu was so angry that she sat up: "Who touched the porcelain? You were the one who knocked me to the ground!"
Many passers-by, A, B, C, and a group of girls who witnessed the whole process gathered around and exposed Aunt Hu with disdain: "You are just cheating, we all saw it, and you still want to wrongly accuse someone!"
"Not only did you wrongfully accuse someone, but you were the one who made the first move!"
Such a handsome guy, how could you just watch him being slandered by an ugly and stupid aunt!
"I didn't! Stop spitting blood!"
Aunt Hu's fighting ability is very strong. She can defeat many enemies with one and never flinch.
Lin Mai considered that Fang Zhuoran's status was a little special, as he was a professor at Puji Medical University.
If things get serious, I'm afraid his reputation will be damaged.
He wears shoes, but Aunt Hu is barefoot, and those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes.
Therefore, I wanted to make a quick decision and resolve the matter as soon as possible.
She lowered her head and said to Aunt Hu: "With so many people testifying, you are trying to beat others first and then make trouble later.
If you keep making trouble like this, you won't get anything out of it, so why not just let it go and save yourself some face."
Aunt Hu said angrily: "Compensate! Pay back the professor! You're not responsible for beating someone?"
Ever since her pension money was lost, she has been thinking about how to get money. Now that the opportunity has come, she can't miss it.
The group of girls who were watching shouted angrily: "I didn't hit you!"
Fang Zhuoran was about to speak, but Lin Mai pulled him behind him.
It would be very disgraceful for a dignified associate professor of a famous medical university to quarrel with an old shrew in the street, right?
Her unintentional move made Fang Zhuoran's heart beat several times.
Lin Mai said coldly to Aunt Hu: "You must make trouble unreasonably, right? Then call the police and let the police handle it.
I'm afraid that if you fail to succeed, you will be arrested by the police for blackmailing others!"
Those girls all expressed their support: "Call the police, let the police arrest her, and sentence her to three to five years in prison, so she won't dare to be so arrogant!"
"The police are here, even if you open a hundred mouths, will I be beaten if I am beaten?"
As Aunt Hu spoke, she suddenly got up from the ground and bumped into Fang Zhuoran.
As long as she has physical contact with him and she falls to the ground, who dares to say that it has nothing to do with Fang Zhuoran!
Lin Mai pushed her away hard, "What do you want to do! You still want to hit someone!"
