“Five days and it’s still this fresh? Storing stir-fry for later consumption, this is beyond everyone’s understanding.

At this point, many people thought of a problem. If this thing can be preserved for so long, it would be incredibly convenient.

No need to cook at home, you can eat whenever you want, just heat it up. The most crucial and main problem is that this so-called pre-prepared dish is really delicious, who can cook such delicious food at home?

Among the crowd watching the excitement, some were restaurant owners, and some were tavern owners. After tasting it, they felt that this thing was even more delicious than what their own chefs made. For a moment, some tavern owners also felt a sense of crisis.

If this pre-prepared dish is so delicious, what’s the use of their taverns? But then someone had an idea. If this thing is bought and stored in the ice cellar of the tavern, it can keep it fresh. When customers come and want to order food, just take it out and heat it up, and the dish can be served quickly.

They can totally make a profit from the price difference. The more they thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. So after thinking it through, a tavern owner hurriedly came up, quietly pulled Yan Leisheng aside, and discussed this matter with him.

He wanted to place an initial order with Changqing Trading Company to see if the effect was good. If it was good, he would continue to order.

For such a business, Yan Leisheng naturally would not refuse, and this order was also within Li Changqing’s expectations. Any smart tavern owner would take advantage of this benefit first, which was also the main order in the early stage of Changqing Trading Company.

The first order was immediately placed, and at the same time, many people also became interested in the pre-prepared dishes, wanting to buy some to take home for their families to taste.

Or save it for late-night snacks. The crowd surged and all rushed into Changqing Trading Company.

The front of Changqing Trading Company was bustling with traffic, and the customer flow increased greatly. When they entered the trading company, they also found many novel items in Changqing Trading Company.

For example, many styles of clothes were very novel, which were also brought from Changting Town, and were designed by Li Changqing from the TV dramas of various dynasties he had watched before.

Some styles looked very domineering, indeed attracting many people’s attention. This news naturally could not be hidden from other trading companies.

Beidou Trading Company is just a small trading company. Chairman Song Beidou has struggled for so many years, and it was not easy to fight for this family business in Path Mark City. Although the trading company is well-organized, only Song Beidou himself knows that it is all thunder and little rain.

With the two behemoths of Minghai Trading Company and Yunling Trading Company pressing on, small trading companies like Beidou Trading Company have no way to rise.

Every month, they can only earn a hard-earned money, it’s definitely no problem to support a wife and children, and they can live a bit more decently than ordinary people, but it’s impossible to make a lot of money.

Selling some goods at a low price, taking the path of small profits but quick turnover, this is how they accumulated some old customers.

In addition, there are endless newcomers to Path Mark City every day, earning some new income, which is the main source of income for Beidou Trading Company.

“Master Tong, take care, rest assured, I will arrange for someone to deliver your batch of goods to your house as soon as possible.” Song Beidou sent an old customer out the door.

Just turned around, he heard someone behind him shouting: “Shopkeeper, I’m back.” He turned his head and saw a shop assistant running over, panting.

“How is it? What’s the situation over there?” Song Beidou asked curiously.

“It’s a trading company, a new big trading company has opened over there, called Changqing Trading Company.” The shop assistant hurriedly reported to Song Beidou.

However, hearing that it was a trading company, there was no worry on Song Beidou’s face, but he sneered: “Opening a trading company in Path Mark City, is it seeking death? How many people went in when it opened?” Song Beidou sat down, picked up a cup of tea, and said with a smile.

He could already foresee the deserted scene at the entrance of Changqing Trading Company. Path Mark City is already saturated, how could there be any business for Changqing Trading Company to get involved?

“Uh…” The shop assistant said awkwardly: “Actually, the business of Changqing Trading Company is really good, and I saw many people buying things from Changqing Trading Company, and even placing orders.”

“Impossible.” Song Beidou’s face changed, he stood up and said: “How can a new trading company stand firm in Path Mark City? Could it be that they hired some shills?” The shop assistant recounted everything he had just seen and heard.

Listening to it, Song Beidou was stunned. A trading company doesn’t sell goods, but starts by selling stir-fry? Who came up with this divine operation?

And it sells frozen vegetables. Can this thing be eaten? This kind of creativity is something that Song Beidou couldn’t think of even if he wanted to wet his pants.

And according to the shop assistant’s description, it’s not just as simple as selling frozen vegetables, but they have a wide variety of dishes, and the taste is particularly good, and several taverns have placed orders.

This made Song Beidou somewhat doubt life. By relying on a single product to stand firm, and then slowly competing for the market, this Changqing Trading Company is not simple, it has some stuff!

Song Beidou was curious about who was behind this Changqing Trading Company. They actually had such a brain.

“But…” Song Beidou murmured: “If you want to stand firm in Path Mark City, just relying on these is not enough.” What’s the use of having good things.

The Minghai Trading Company and Yunling Trading Company have been dominating for so many years. Would they willingly give up a portion of the market to you?

On the surface, it seems fine, but behind the scenes, it’s not that simple. Especially the Minghai Trading Company, they are not a pushover.

The Hai family behind them is a renowned clan, with a Prenatal Realm expert in their midst. To contend with the Hai family, you need substantial resources.

Moreover, the president of the Minghai Trading Company, Hai Dongsheng, is a ruthless character. By now, both he and the president of the Yunling Trading Company, Lin Wanghuan, have received the news.

A new large-scale trading company has opened in Path Mark City. The Changqing Trading Company?

“Miss, this Changqing Trading Company suddenly appeared in Path Mark City, clearly aiming to compete with us. They must be aware that Minghong Prefecture is dominated by our Yunling Trading Company and the Minghai Trading Company. It seems they have some backing,” a woman in front of Lin Wanghuan said with a frown.

The emergence of the Changqing Trading Company had clearly puzzled her. Lin Wanghuan looked at the document in her hand, then raised her head and said to the woman, “Aunt Meng, if the Changqing Trading Company didn’t have any preparations, they wouldn’t have rashly opened. Send a letter to my father and ask the Yunling Sect to investigate what’s going on with this Changqing Trading Company.”

“Yes,” the woman nodded. Lin Wanghuan squinted her eyes and looked out the window, smiling, “Pre-made meals, huh? Quite interesting and innovative. However, this move of yours has not only offended all the trading companies, but even some restaurants as well!” Indeed, some restaurants had purchased pre-made meals from the Changqing Trading Company to sell.

But for some famous restaurants, the emergence of these pre-made meals had a significant impact on their business.

In the past, people had to go out to their restaurants to enjoy good food. But now? They can just heat up the pre-made meals at home.

This had cost them a lot of business. Moreover, the taste of these pre-made meals was really good, even surpassing some of the signature dishes of their restaurants.

Once their signature dishes lost their advantage, their restaurants would lose their advantage even more. Therefore, Lin Wanghuan anticipated that the Changqing Trading Company would face enemies on all sides in Path Mark City. She was not in a hurry to take action. Perhaps in less than a month, they would leave in disgrace.

Moreover, Hai Dongsheng of the Hai family was a petty man. He wouldn’t sit idly by.

“Miss, it’s noon. What would you like for lunch? I’ll have the servants prepare it,” Aunt Meng said to Lin Wanghuan.

“What to eat?” Lin Wanghuan blinked, then smiled and said, “Let’s buy a couple of pre-made meals from the Changqing Trading Company to try.”

“Huh?” Aunt Meng was clearly stunned by Lin Wanghuan’s decision.

“I’m also curious about the taste of these pre-made meals,” Lin Wanghuan said with a smile.

“Yes, I’ll have someone go buy them right away.”… On the first day alone, the Changqing Trading Company’s income was quite good.

The heads of the small clans were very pleased. Today, they received many orders from restaurants, all of which were for more than a hundred servings.

In addition, some of the cheaper goods in the Changqing Trading Company had also attracted a lot of attention. Although it was a new trading company and many people thought it wouldn’t last long, there were still people who placed small orders to give it a try.

Yan Leisheng looked at today’s earnings, nodding in satisfaction. This was much better than he had expected.

But Yan Leisheng also knew that this was just the first step for the Changqing Trading Company. The real war hadn’t truly begun yet.

Under the crescent moon, in a beautiful courtyard, there was a hot spring pool. The spring water was bubbling, reflecting the moonlight in the sky.

At this moment, a man was soaking in the hot spring pool, naked. The spring water was so hot that it could boil eggs, but the man didn’t care at all. His formidable body didn’t mind the high temperature at all. To him, it was a kind of enjoyment.

His eyes were like those of a hawk, giving people a sense of oppression. Because he himself was a Prenatal Realm martial artist.

“Eldest Young Master.” At this time, an old man walked in from outside, respectfully approaching Hai Dongsheng.

“Have you found out the background of the Changqing Trading Company?” Hai Dongsheng asked lazily.

“I have,” the old man said in a low voice. “The Changqing Trading Company is a joint venture of many clans from Changting Town. The president of the company is named Yan Botao, the clan leader of the Yan family in Changting Town.”

“Changting Town?” Hai Dongsheng sneered. “A tiny place, just a rabble, daring to come to Path Mark City to snatch business?”

“Eldest Young Master, that Yan Botao does have some strength. He has reached the Prenatal Realm,” the old man said respectfully.

“Yan Botao…” Hai Dongsheng frowned. “Why does this name sound familiar? It seems I’ve heard it somewhere.”

“Yes, Yan Botao previously killed Ma Sandao from the Black List, and was rewarded by the Zhanhe Residence,” the old man reminded Hai Dongsheng.

Hai Dongsheng suddenly realized. So it was him.

“So it’s the man who killed Ma Sandao,” Hai Dongsheng laughed. “Thinking that having Prenatal Realm strength allows him to come to Path Mark City for a piece of the pie, he really doesn’t know his place. Moreover, before opening the trading company, he didn’t even come to my Hai family to present a greeting card. He doesn’t even know the rules.”

“People from small places don’t understand the rules. And once they enter the Prenatal Realm, they naturally become a bit arrogant,” the old man also said with a smile.

“If he were sensible, I could allow him to have a small piece of land in Path Mark City, to make a little money. However, if he is willing to be sensible now, I can give him a chance,” Hai Dongsheng seemed to have made up his mind.

“Eldest young master, should we inform the master about this? After all, there is an innate expert behind Changqing Trading Company. It’s not good to strain the relationship too much,” the old man kindly reminded.

“Are you teaching me how to handle affairs?” Hai Dongsheng gave the old man a cold glance.

“I dare not,” the old man quickly lowered his head.

“Indeed, it’s not a good thing to have a falling out with an innate expert. But a mere newly promoted innate expert is nothing in front of my Hai family,” Hai Dongsheng stood up at this moment, walked out of the hot spring pool, and the old man quickly brought a towel to drape over him.

Hai Dongsheng moved his neck a bit, then said, “Tomorrow, have someone represent my Hai family to notify them. We, the Hai family, will offer Five Thousand Taels of silver to buy all the recipes of their Changqing Trading Company, to monopolize their pre-made food business. From then on, they can no longer use the name Changqing Trading Company, let them switch to other businesses.”
