Chapter 415: The Frustrated Bang
After hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, Bang Geng never expected that this thing was so common. He thought that someone had leaked the secret recipe.

"Do you know who produced this thing?"

Banggeng was very angry. He was a vengeful person. He planned to find out the manufacturer of this thing and then find a way to report his factory.

Banggeng didn't learn anything else, but he did have some experience in reporting things. After all, his first business was reported and he lost so much money.

"Oh, I didn't really notice this. We just talked about it while chatting. If you want to know who produced it, you can go to the supply and marketing cooperative tomorrow to ask. This thing is selling very well now."

Yi Zhonghai has become like this now, so why would he pay attention to these things? He is not a chef.

"Okay, I'll go take a look tomorrow."

Banggeng nodded at Yi Zhonghai and left Yi Zhonghai's house. After leaving, Banggeng was still complaining in his heart that Yi Zhonghai was really useless and now he couldn't even get any news from him.

After Banggeng left, Yi Zhonghai returned home thoughtfully. He didn't expect that the news he got from chatting with others was so important. No wonder so many people are now setting up stalls to sell barbecue on the streets. It turns out that they have barbecue ingredients.

It seems that I should pay more attention when chatting.

After Banggeng learned about the situation from Yi Zhonghai, he temporarily let the matter go. He couldn't just run out to see if anyone was selling this thing, as the supply and marketing cooperative had already gone off work.

"Bang Geng, did you ask?"

At this time, Jia Zhang had just packed up Banggeng's things and came out of the house where Banggeng lived.

She put the chisels that Bang Geng brought back into the water and soaked them. They were all covered with oil and dirt so she could clean them the next day.

"I asked, and Grandpa Yi said that thing is sold in the supply and marketing cooperative. I plan to go and have a look tomorrow."

Banggeng also plans to buy a little bit to experiment and see what the difference is between the secret recipe that Shazhu gave himself.

As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy ensures victory in a hundred battles. Banggeng needs to first understand how the opponent's seasoning differs from his own.

"Then go find Sha Zhu tomorrow and see what he has to say."

Jia Zhang didn't know about the chef's secret recipe, but Sha Zhu knew a lot about it. Of course, she had to ask Sha Zhu about this matter, otherwise what was the point of keeping him around.

"I know, grandma."

Banggeng didn't feel embarrassed at all about this matter. After all, Shazhu's things were his.

It was already getting late, and Banggeng had no plans to go to the backyard to look for Shazhu and Qin Huairu. It would be so embarrassing if he happened to see them doing something.

"Then you should go back and have a rest. You have been busy all day." Jia Zhang felt sorry for Bang Geng. "Xiao Dang and Huai Hua, those two stupid girls, didn't even come out to help you."

"No, leave all this work for tomorrow."

It’s so late now, and Banggeng doesn’t plan to pack up his things. Let’s talk about it tomorrow morning.

The next morning, Banggeng told this matter while having breakfast.

"What? You said there's a new barbecue ingredient on the market?"

Sha Zhu shouted out in confusion. He was a little bit unconvinced. In this era, everyone kept their secret recipes hidden. Even the apprentice had to be tested for three years before considering whether to pass it on to him.

"Yes, the three uncles also said that they had heard about this incident when they were chatting on the street."

Qin Huairu served a bowl of porridge and handed it to Sha Zhu.

"Do you think someone might have leaked the secret recipe?"

"That's impossible. Didn't the three uncles also say that someone in the supply and marketing cooperative is selling this seasoning?"

Sha Zhu first shook his head to deny Qin Huairu's guess, and then he thought of another possibility.

"This must be something that some chef and the factory worked together to make."

Sha Zhu is not stupid. He can easily guess how these things are produced. Only industrialization can produce them in such large quantities. But Sha Zhu can't understand why the chef who has this secret recipe is not afraid that the secret recipe will be leaked?
"Banggeng, go to the supply and marketing cooperative later and buy a bag of seasoning for me to see." Shazhu wanted to see the difference between the things produced by this industrialized model and his own secret recipe.

"Okay, I'll go check it out later."

Banggeng was also dissatisfied with the person who almost ruined his business. If he knew which factory produced the products, he would conduct a thorough investigation and report it to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.

Anyway, no one knows who reported it now.

Bang Geng probably didn't expect that if too many false reporting calls were made, it would create a "crying wolf" effect.

Just when Banggeng was getting angry, he suddenly remembered that Shazhu knew a senior leader. Although their relationship was not too close, he could let Shazhu say something bad about the factory, and then let the people from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau directly close down the factory.

After dinner, everyone else went to work. It would take a while for Shazhu to go to work, not to mention Banggeng. People like Banggeng who do business every day have made an agreement with the butcher to reserve fresh meat for him every day.

Banggeng came to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a bag of barbecue seasoning sold on the market.

"Hello comrade, you don't have the barbecue seasoning packet here."

Banggeng came to the supply and marketing cooperative closest to his home.

"Oh, you are planning to start a barbecue business too, right? This thing is selling like hot cakes right now."

As soon as the saleswoman heard it, she knew what Banggeng was going to do. This product sells very well here, and several groups of people come to buy it every day.

"You did the right thing. You don't know how popular barbecue is now. You can't get it at night normally. Now with this barbecue material, not only can you eat it at home, but there are also a lot more barbecue stalls outside."

The saleswoman was happily promoting this barbecue seasoning to Bang Geng.

"How much is this per pack?"

Banggeng didn't bother to pay attention to the saleswoman and asked directly about the price.

"A dollar."

The saleswoman was interrupted and rolled her eyes at Bang Geng before telling him the price of the seasoning.

“Which factory produces this seasoning?”

"Isn't there a manufacturer on it? It says Victory Food Factory."

The saleswoman said unhappily that this person was so rude.

“Victory Food Factory?”

Banggeng just felt that the factory name sounded very familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.

"Do you want it or not? If not, put it down."

The lady receiving the goods doesn't tolerate jokes.

"Yes, why not?"

Bang Geng took out the money from his pocket and threw it on the counter.

"What kind of person is this? He wants to make money like this?"

The saleswoman pouted and looked at Banggeng's back with disdain.

Banggeng was holding the bag of barbecue seasoning in his hand, still wondering which Victory Food Factory this was.

When he was almost at the courtyard, he realized that this Shengli Food Factory was the one opened by Li Shengli.
Bang Geng was so angry that he wanted to throw the thing in his hand to the ground, but when he thought of Sha Zhu who was still waiting for him in the courtyard, he planned to ask him to analyze the difference between this seasoning and his secret seasoning.
