This really is a tale of karmic entanglement. When the old master of the Fang Family did not yet possess such a vast enterprise, he ventured out at a young age, making friends with a man surnamed Lin.

However, the old master of the Fang Family became covetous; with the recipe in his friend's hands, it was nothing more than a wasted piece of paper. The man had no head for business. He would shrink back at the thought of expanding the business, content with his life and showing no ambition.
