Blossom in Adversity

Chapter 404: uninvited guest

Views:

Compared to the hustle and bustle outside, one of the private rooms on the second floor seemed too quiet.

If Gu Yanxi was here, she would definitely be shocked. The person sitting inside is none other than the emperor, and the person following him is not Lai Fu, but a man with ordinary looks, ordinary height, and ordinary everything else. He is An Yi.

At this time, the emperor was looking at the fried yellow croaker that was served to him. It smelled delicious and quite appetizing. He picked up the chopsticks and poked it, then tore off a small piece from the belly where there were the least bones and was about to put it into his mouth.

An Yi was shocked, and in a hurry, he directly reached out and pressed the emperor's hand, "Your Majesty, let me try you first..."

The emperor didn't care about his offense. In fact, he felt quite happy. The more he felt that people around him didn't trust him, the more he cared about this tiny concern, even if he was just doing his duty. "We open the door to do business. If she does something, is it doing business or seeking death?"

After saying that, the emperor put the piece of fish meat with chopsticks into his mouth. It tasted salty, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, not bad. The chopsticks fell down again unconsciously and aimed at the belly meat of another yellow croaker. An Yi had no choice but to pick up a fish and clumsily serve people.

When he saw the loose fish meat he had picked up, he put down his chopsticks in shame and prepared to apologize, but he saw the emperor pick up the fish bit by bit and put it into his mouth. He was startled and could not help but look at the emperor.

"good."

An Yi didn't dare to think too much about what this meant, and lowered his head and dared not look at it any more.

At this time, the curtain of the box was raised, and a waiter wearing a blue shirt, a small hat and an apron tied around his waist came in with a tray. He had a smile on his face, neither flattering nor overly enthusiastic. "Our shop is new, thank you for your support. This is fish soup, a small token of my gratitude."

The emperor knew that a lot of effort had gone into the cooking of the white fish soup. He smiled, as if he were an old man from an ordinary family, and joked, "You're giving away both fish and soup. You're not afraid of losing money on this business."

"As our eldest girl said, a blacksmith must be good himself. If our food is delicious, customers will naturally be willing to come next time. If it is not delicious, no one will come even if we sell it at a discount or give it away all day long." The waiter smiled and two dimples appeared on his face. His eyes curved into crescents. He had a very pleasing appearance, which made people feel comfortable just by looking at him.

"That makes sense."

"Of course, our eldest daughter can do any business well." The waiter bent down with a plate in his arms, "There are many customers today, so please forgive us if the dishes are slow to serve. By the way, our eldest daughter just said that everything will be half price today, please enjoy your meal."

The curtain rose and fell, the emperor looked down at the white fish soup and suddenly laughed out loud, can every business be done well

Hua Zhi, who had no idea that a great Buddha had come to the second floor, went to the kitchen. The kitchen was inevitably a little chaotic on the first day, but it got better after getting used to it. Hua Zhi walked around and the overly strong fishy smell made her frown. "Go call Nanny Chen."

Nanny Chen was helping in the kitchen. When she heard the call, she hurried over and said, "Miss, is there something wrong?"

"Smell it, isn't it a bit pungent?"

Nanny Chen sniffed hard, "It does smell a bit fishy..."

"It's not just a little bit, it's a very strong fishy smell. Customers would rather come here and choose than sit outside and order. Don't scare people away with such a strong smell."

"It was my negligence. I will take care of it right away."

"Flush more, collect what needs to be collected, and dispose of what needs to be disposed of in a timely manner."

"yes."

Hua Zhi was still not satisfied and thought about asking Cao Cao to make some medicine to get rid of the smell.

There was a sudden noise outside. Hua Zhi knew what was going on, but she was not in a hurry. She made some arrangements before going out.

As I got closer, I heard someone yelling, "The things in this store are poisonous. If they weren't poisonous, why would I have these things growing on my body?"

Another mocking voice sounded, "This is very interesting. Does the girl have a grudge against you and poison you specifically? We ordered a lot of food, why didn't we see this kind of reaction from you?"

"Who knows if you have received any benefits? I won't argue with you. The facts are in front of me. I just have these red bumps on my body. Wait, why do I have a headache again?" The person who spoke was dressed as a scholar. He held his head, pointed at Xu Biao and scolded, "Tell me what you gave me to eat? Send me to the clinic quickly!"

"Sir, please look here." Xu Biao pointed calmly at a notice posted at a hole behind the counter. It clearly stated: If you have headaches, rashes on your face and body accompanied by itching, these are allergic reactions and there is no need to panic. If you trust the store, you can get medicine from the counter to relieve the symptoms. If you want to see a doctor, Chu's Medical Clinic is not far away and all expenses will be borne by the store.

Guessing that everyone had finished reading, Xu Biao said without waiting for the scholar to get angry, "Just like some people can't eat mushrooms and some can't eat taro, some people are allergic to seafood. But don't worry, guests. If you get timely treatment, it won't harm your body. If other guests have this concern, they may also get some medicine. Even if they really have an allergic reaction later, it can relieve the symptoms."

"Haha, knowing that it may cause allergies, you still dare to sell it outside, what is your intention?"

Hua Zhi was quite satisfied with Xu Biao's response, but the scholar was obviously well prepared. Any further entanglement would only ruin Haiwei's reputation. So she walked forward from behind and was about to speak when the scholar greeted her, "My humble servant greets you, young lady."

It was Yu Xiasheng. She didn't expect him to come too. Hua Zhi returned the greeting. Others who reacted also greeted her one by one. Their eyes were either explicitly or implicitly fixed on the young lady whom they wanted to see last time but couldn't, but saw easily this time.

She is indeed as outstanding as the rumors say, not only in beauty but also in temperament.

Hua Zhi returned the greetings one by one, looking at the scholar who had red pimples on his face and looked a little scary, "There is a clinic next to us, please go there, don't delay and hurt yourself."

"If you know it will hurt your body, why do you dare to sell it outside? What's your intention?"

Hua Zhi's lips curled slightly, "Everyone does business to make money, not to get involved in murder lawsuits. Or do you think that my Hua family will target these pillars of Daqing? Why don't you tell me what I can gain by doing this?"

"Humph, you know it clearly."

"It seems that the guest knows better than me." Hua Zhi stroked her sleeves lightly, "How about we make a bet?"

The scholar looked at her suspiciously, "What bet?"

"I will ask the doctor to cure the guest's allergy first, and then invite the guest to the vegetarian restaurant to have a mushroom feast and a taro feast. As for what to bet on..." Hua Zhi smiled, "Let's bet on whether the guest is allergic to both of these."

"What a joke! What does this have to do with me eating seafood today?"

"You'll know if it matters after you try it."

The scholar pointed at her angrily, "You are just making up stories!"

"Yes, I am making a point. What about the guest, do you want to gamble?"

Someone nearby couldn't help laughing out loud. This girl is really... I don't know how to describe her, but I just can't feel disgusted with her.

PS: Thank you all for your blessings. I also wish a happy birthday to those who have the same birthday as Kong Kong, or those whose birthdays are the days before or after. Have fun!
