Chapter 237: Fish stuck in throat
Han Yili was not very hungry, but she still wanted to go in and try the grilled fish in Qingjiang City to see how it was different from her own.

The couple walked into the grilled fish shop and followed the waiter to the private room on the second floor.

Gu Yu glanced at the menu and found that although the names of the dishes were not exactly the same as those in his own restaurant, they were similar in nature.

Not only that, the decoration style of this store is also quite similar to her own store. If she had not recruited distributors and had not authorized others to open branches with similar styles, Gu Yu would probably have doubted whether this store was her own "sub-store."

"Bring us some of your signature dishes." Gu Yu said to the waiter standing nearby.

"Okay! Please wait a moment!" said the waiter as he politely walked out with the towel in his hand.

After the waiter left, Han Yili asked, "Ayu, can you tell what's the difference between this shop and ours?"

"Yes." Gu Yu introduced in detail the decoration style and menu features of his own store and compared them with this store.

Han Yili frowned and said thoughtfully: "Could it be that someone really..."

Although Han Yili didn't finish her words, her meaning was already very clear.

Gu Yu shook his head and answered firmly, "In my store, no one would do anything that would harm the interests of the store. In my opinion, this store is likely to have been decorated by someone imitating our store."

"As for their dishes, I haven't tasted them yet, so it's hard to draw conclusions for now."

The key figures in the store are all robots who obey her, and it is impossible for outsiders to steal the recipe.

She had a very clear instinct for this shop, which was to imitate the decoration of her store.

She herself doesn't care about the financial loss, nor does she care whether there are shops with similar styles to hers appearing in the market.

If someone copied her store's items to make a profit, the matter would never be let go easily.

Not long after, the fragrant grilled fish was served.

The grilled fish looks mouth-watering, the whole fish is baked to a golden and crispy texture, the fish skin is slightly raised, and it exudes an alluring burnt aroma. The grilled fish is also adorned with emerald green onions and bright red chili peppers, the colors are bright and eye-catching, complementing each other, making one unable to resist the temptation to eat.

The fish's eyes were bulging, like two crystal clear gems, revealing its deep anticipation for the upcoming delicacy.

As the heat continues to rise, the rich aroma of the grilled fish is like a surging torrent, sweeping towards people and wantonly teasing their sensitive and picky taste buds.

Let’s take a look at the side dishes for grilled fish, which are so rich and varied that it’s dizzying.

The tender and smooth fish meat is intertwined with the crispy and delicious potato chips, forming a wonderful contrast in taste; the crisp and sweet bean sprouts add a fresh and natural flavor to this delicacy; and the smooth and delicate wood ear mushrooms lie quietly on the plate like a beautiful jade, waiting for diners to discover its unique charm.

The combination of various ingredients complements each other, with distinct layers, making the smell and taste endless.

Every tasting is like a gorgeous feast for the taste buds. The unique flavor dances happily on the tip of the tongue, making people intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves.

The thick and mellow sauce is like a gorgeous coat, evenly covering the fish body and slowly seeping into every fiber of the fish meat, making the fish even more delicious and bringing people unparalleled satisfaction.

In addition, the perfect spicy seasoning is like a fire, instantly igniting the passion and desire deep in people's hearts, adding an indescribable stimulating taste to the grilled fish, making people unable to stop, and can't help but eat one bite after another, enjoying this wonderful taste.

Gu Yu chewed the food slowly, savoring the flavor. Han Yili looked at her expectantly, and as soon as she put down her chopsticks, she asked impatiently, "How is it? Is there anything special?"

Gu Yu put down the chopsticks in his hand, picked up the handkerchief beside him and gently wiped the corners of his mouth, then picked up the teacup and took a sip, letting the clearness of the tea wash away the greasiness in his mouth.

He said slowly: "Well... there are eight points of similarity, but I can't say they are completely identical."

Hearing this answer, Han Yili's face suddenly turned gloomy. Frowning, he said in a serious tone: "Eight percent similar? That won't do, Ayu, let's go back. You must thoroughly investigate the staff situation in the store to see if anyone has leaked the formula."

You know, for a family, a unique recipe is the foundation of its survival.

With such a coincidence happening, Han Yili absolutely did not believe that the people in the store were innocent.

Gu Yu gave Han Yili a comforting look, beckoned a robot, and ordered, "Go investigate who is the owner behind this grilled fish shop?"

Just as Gu Yu said before, as for something like taste, as long as one is a person who loves food and likes to study cooking techniques, he or she can roughly analyze the types of seasonings used in the dishes by tasting them a few times.

What really angered her wasn't just the similarity of the taste.

Instead, the decoration style of this shop is almost identical to that of her own store, as if they were carved from the same mold.

This level of imitation made her wonder if there was some conspiracy or malicious competition behind it.

"Okay, master." After receiving the order, the robot immediately turned around and left.

Han Yili looked at the food on the table absentmindedly and asked, "Do you want to continue eating?"

"Of course I have to eat! Why not?" What a joke, the money has already been paid, wouldn't it be a waste if I don't eat it? Gu Yu answered as a matter of course.

As Gu Yu spoke, he served Han Yili a bowl of rice, placed it in front of him, and reminded him, "Eat more rice, you won't be hungry."

Han Yili is a northerner and doesn't really like eating rice, but because his wife is Gu Yu, he is happy to accommodate his lover.

He took the bowl with a smile and said softly, "Thank you, Ayu."

"We are already an old married couple. I just helped you to serve a bowl of rice. What's there to thank me for?" Gu Yu said as he picked up a piece of fish, carefully picked out the fish bones, and said jokingly, "In my story..."

When the words came to his lips, he suddenly coughed and changed his words: "In my hometown, there is a saying that when a driver eats fish, he cannot turn the fish over, otherwise it is easy to overturn the cart while driving."

so close! How dangerous!

If I hadn't reacted quickly enough, I would have almost said "hometown" as "hometown".

Han Yili, who was eating fish, was caught off guard and startled by Gu Yu's nonsense. She suddenly started coughing.

Immediately afterwards, Han Yili ignored Gu Yu's messy words, and directly picked up the teacup on the table and poured water into her mouth in big gulps.

Gu Yu was startled by Han Yili's sudden action. He quickly put down his chopsticks and asked nervously, "Are you stuck by a fish bone?"
