Chapter 350 Provoking trouble
Hearing what Ke Ling said, A Mao didn't think much about it. He said "Oh" and quickly handed the cloth bag around his waist to Ke Ling, saying happily: "Sister, look what I found!"

Ke Ling took the cloth bag curiously, opened it and saw that it contained the Chinese medicine they needed. This kind of medicinal material is very rare, so not only is it very expensive, but there are also not many in stock in the pharmacy. They bought out all the nearby pharmacies, and there was only enough for the next few days. It is still unknown when the pharmacy will restock it.

Amu, this solved their urgent problem.

Ke Ling said in surprise: "Well done, Amu! How did you find it?"

"Hehe, I accidentally fell off a cliff while picking mushrooms, and I found this medicinal herb there."

Amu said this proudly, his face shining with an expression of "I'm so awesome!"

When Ke Ling heard that he had gone to a dangerous place to pick mushrooms again and actually fell off a cliff, she was lucky not to be injured this time, but she would probably lose her life next time.

Ke Ling's eyes suddenly widened and she said angrily, "Amu, I told you a long time ago not to go to dangerous places! You just didn't listen! This time I must teach you a lesson and make you remember it!"

"Sister, I know I was wrong, I won't do it again next time..."

Amu suddenly wilted and said with lowered eyebrows.

At the same time, he missed his sister very much. She used to go dig out hornets' nests with him. How come she has become like this now?

Now the sister has become like mom, even less gentle than mom, which makes Amu feel a little scared every time he sees Ke Ling.

Seeing Amu begging for mercy, Ke Ling had to take a deep breath to suppress her anger.

No matter what, Amu has indeed made a great contribution this time. With these medicinal herbs, I hope my mother's illness can be cured as soon as possible.

Master Abei has always been in poor health. After all, she is the only one who supports Ju Xiashang, and she also has to take care of two children, Ke Ling and A Mao. In addition, although Master Abei has a gentle personality, she is very strong-willed at heart. She has to hold on even when she is sick, and does not want to cause more trouble for everyone.

Sometimes, an illness can be cured after a while.

But this time it was different. Perhaps the root cause of the disease that had been accumulating for a long time broke out with such force that Master Abe immediately fell ill.

Illness comes like a mountain down, sickness goes like a thread.

This is the case with Master Abei’s illness. The disease comes on violently but goes away slowly. After so many days of treatment, there is still no improvement.

Master Abe only wakes up for a short while every day and is in a drowsy sleep most of the time. It is unknown when he will really get better.

Ke Ling tried her best to support Ju to go downstairs, because she didn't want her mother to worry about work after she woke up.

But now, her efforts might be in vain.

To make matters worse, in the afternoon, Ju went downstairs to welcome an unexpected guest.

This man is the chef of the newly opened restaurant opposite, his name is Han Jiang.

He is in his thirties and is already a senior chef, the best among chefs. It is said that he passed the preliminary selection for the top chef, but unfortunately failed in the final selection. Although he failed to pass the assessment, his ability is unquestionable and is close to the level of a top chef.

It is said that he is preparing to take the assessment for the top chef again recently, and he is very confident and sure of passing the assessment. Once he successfully passes the assessment and becomes a top chef, his restaurant will immediately rise in popularity and become a restaurant that can compete with Juxialou.

Let’s not talk about the future for now, just talking about the present, Han Jiang’s Jiangyuelou has already suppressed Juxialou to the point where he can’t even raise his head.

But why did this business competitor suddenly appear in Juxialou? Ke Ling couldn't figure it out, and she didn't want to think about these complicated things for the time being. She walked forward and smiled cheerfully like she did to other diners, "Sir, please come in."

Han Jiang didn't even glance at her and walked straight in.

There were only a few people eating in the hall, making the huge hall look very deserted and desolate.

For a restaurant, having many customers does not only mean booming business, but also represents the vitality and vigor of the restaurant. A restaurant with no customers is almost dead.

Even curious passers-by are reluctant to go into a restaurant with no one in the hall. Because if no one goes there, it means that the food in the restaurant is not good, or the service is not good. In short, there must be something wrong, otherwise why would no one go there?
The emptier the restaurant, the fewer people will come. On the contrary, if the restaurant is full of people, and there are even many people queuing outside, it will attract more curious people to try it.

Now, there are only two or three kittens in the hall of Juxialou, and it really looks like it is about to go bankrupt.

When Han Jiang saw this scene, he let out an undisguised sarcastic sneer.

Ke Ling's face suddenly changed. She understood that this person had come with bad intentions and was definitely here to cause trouble!
Ke Ling quietly stepped aside and slipped into the kitchen to tell Hong Xi and the others what was happening outside and asked them to make preparations early.

"I understand, Ke Ling, don't worry, we will definitely perform at our best. No matter who comes to cause trouble, we will make him speechless!"

Hearing Hong Xi say this, Ke Ling felt relieved.

Ke Ling ran back to the table and waited for Han Jiang to order.

Outside the door of Juxialou, many onlookers gathered when they saw Han Jiang suddenly appear there.

Everyone had the same idea at the same time, which meant that this was going to be a good show.

Han Jiang was not in a hurry at the moment. He just glanced around and said, "The decoration of your store is quite good, the materials used are fine, and the porcelain on display is also exquisitely made. It's a pity that it closed down like this. Little girl, name a price. How much are you willing to sell this store for?"

Ke Ling asked in shock: "What did you say?"

"I said, I'm going to buy your store."

Han Jiang repeated it again.

Ke Ling was so angry that her face turned red. This was simply a humiliation!
"This is impossible! Don't even think about it! You...Ju is not welcome downstairs, please get out immediately!"

Ke Ling shouted angrily.

Han Jiang sighed and said, "Why are you so ignorant? Do you want to ruin the reputation of Juxialou? While Juxialou is still famous, you can still sell it for a good price. Once Juxialou's reputation is ruined, I'm afraid no one will want it even if you sell it as junk."

"Why do you say that!"

Ke Ling was so angry that she was speechless. What right did this person have to slander Ju Xialou like that!

"Why? My ability is close to that of a top chef. The chef at Juxialou is probably only at the level of a senior chef at best. I can find more than ten faults in every dish they make. Do you have the nerve to sell this kind of food to others? Do you still have the nerve to take advantage of Juxialou's reputation? Today, I, Han Jiang, will expose the true face of Juxialou for the people."

The further he spoke, the louder Han Jiang's voice became, loud enough for the people watching outside to hear it clearly.
