Chapter 137: The Duke of England's Mansion Becomes a Joke Again Li Qiao's Counterattack

British Mansion.

The seventy-year-old old lady sat in the middle of the flower hall, looking at the stewards kneeling in front of her with a gloomy face. She banged the cane in her hand to the ground.

"You bunch of losers, Li Qiao has come up with a new way to gamble, but you can't even make a duck, what use do I have for you?!"

Several managers lowered their heads and groaned secretly.

They had already sent people to follow the Li family who were responsible for purchasing duck seasonings. However, the duck seasoning actually required dozens of kinds of seasonings. With so many seasonings, it would take a lot of effort just to mix them according to the proportions.

You can't blame them for this.

They also employ famous chefs.

But these famous chefs have been working on it for two months and still haven’t figured it out. What can they do? They can’t just do it themselves.

Seeing that these managers remained silent, the old lady became even angrier.

Their dignified Duke of England's Mansion was actually unable to do anything to a mere fifth-rank official. The Duke of England's Mansion had already had its reputation severely trampled on the ground by Li Qiao once. If they did not fight back this time, the Duke of England's Mansion's reputation would really be completely rubbed to the ground and could never be recovered.

Besides, in addition to face, there is also money!

The combined profits of all the shops in the British Duke's Palace are less than half of that of the gambling house. Now the number of customers in the gambling house has dropped sharply, and this month's profits are unprecedentedly low.

The purse strings of their British palace are about to be deflated!

Having no money to spend is a more serious matter than losing face. What should I do?

The old lady was worried and thought that scolding alone would not be enough to make these managers remember today's predicament, so she ordered people to give these managers ten strokes of the board.

Just after beating someone, the Duke of England returned home.

The Duke of England went to discuss countermeasures with the Fifth Prince.

I didn't expect that Li Qiao was such a reckless kid, but the Fifth Prince had promised His Majesty that he would not retaliate against Li Qiao.

It's so tricky!

When the old lady saw the Duke of England's frown, she immediately understood.

There is no good solution for this!

"The Fifth Prince said that we should not touch the Li man for the time being. Our shop will be open as usual."

“Although the taste is a little inferior to that of the Li family’s duck shop, the number of ducks in Li’s duck shop is much less now. Those diners who can’t buy what they want in Li’s duck shop will naturally go to our shop.”

The Duke of England said with a sullen face.

This was the solution he and the fifth prince finally came up with after discussing for a long time.

I've bought so many ducks, I have to use them.

Moreover, apart from duck products, hot drinks are actually very easy to make, and several famous chefs have already made several drinks.
