Si Xu clicked on the video and saw a young man wearing a hat and a mask being blocked by a man in a suit. He wanted to leave, but the man in the suit blocked his way, then started to pull him and even wanted to touch the bag in his hand. A group of people rushed out of the "Blue Duke Jewelry" store. The security guard dragged the man in the suit away, and another person protected the young man and quickly entered the store. Many people watched, and the scene was chaotic.
No wonder Wen Qin suspected that the man was Lin Jiu. His long, smooth hair was so recognizable, even though he was wearing a mask.
Si Xu called Ji Anchen and asked him why he didn't suppress the video.
Ji Anchen: "I asked him if he wanted my help, and he said no. I'm not sure if he wants more people to know about the video. If his identity is exposed, many jewelers will definitely come to him..."
"He wouldn't want anyone to know. Suppress it as soon as possible and don't let things escalate." Si Xu hung up the phone and arranged for someone to suppress the news without waiting for Ji Anchen, hoping it was not too late.
After a while, Ji Anchen called again, "How do you know he doesn't want anyone to know? Do you know him?"
Si Xu: "If he wanted people to know, why would he hide it?"
Ji Anchen thought for a moment, "No, something is wrong. He came here today to pay me back. He didn't want my reimbursement and was very determined. I told him that it was the old man's idea and I couldn't refuse, so he hesitated. Later, I mentioned that my cousin was sick and couldn't sleep well every night, and the Black Star Beads were also effective for him. Then he actually gave me 12 more beads, saying that he bought these Black Star Beads as reimbursement. Don't you think it's strange?"
Si Xu laughed, "Not surprising."
Lin Jiu must have watched his video and guessed who this "cousin" is.
"Tell me the truth, do you know him? If you do, please introduce him to me. I have proposed to buy the exclusive sales rights of the Black Star Beads several times, but he has rejected me every time. I am now worried every day that he will sell the Black Star Beads to other companies. Then, wouldn't the reputation that we have built up by 'Blue Duke' be a waste of money for others?" Ji Anchen was very worried.
"He probably won't." Si Xu said, "Go suppress the news first, don't talk about this."
"I've sent someone to deal with it. I don't want his identity to be exposed more than anyone else." Ji Anchen said firmly: "You really know him. Who is he? Help me introduce him."
"It depends on what he wants. If he doesn't want you to know his identity, don't force it."
The two companies took action at the same time, and the popularity of the video was quickly suppressed. The video was also required to be deleted, and the news of the "Black Star Bead Merchant" quickly disappeared from the Internet. It was so fast that Lin Jiu, the person involved, didn't even know that a video about him had become popular and suddenly disappeared.
Lin Jiu was in the shop cutting and arranging flowers.
The laundry shop owner was right, fresh flowers would wither easily, so he dismantled the flower baskets and bought some vases, intending to keep all the flowers. With systematic maintenance, the flowers should be able to live a little longer.
When Si Xu came over in the evening, he only saw two ugly flower baskets by the window; the other flower baskets had disappeared.
"I came here at noon and thought that these two flower baskets looked like this. But when I asked Lin Jiu, I found out that all the flowers had been plucked away. What's going on? I always feel that he will be bullied if he opens a shop here." Jiang Ge came along to eat because he found that he could eat more seafood with Si Xu.
When the two walked in, they saw a lot of vases in the store, one on each table, and everywhere there were vases, such as on the wooden grid, at the cash register, and at the bar. The vases were of different sizes and the bouquets were of different shapes. At least with so many flowers, it didn't look boring.
Lin Jiu raised his eyes and saw Si Xu coming in. He didn't dare to stare at him. He just looked away and said, "Let's go to the private room first. It will be ready soon."
The kitchen was filled with mist. Lin Jiu moved in an orderly manner. Each movement was smooth and natural, as if he had done it countless times. Watching him prepare delicious food was a very enjoyable experience.
Si Xu was wearing a mask so his expression could not be seen, but his eyes, which were exposed, were clearly smiling.
Jiang Ge leaned over the bar, "We haven't ordered yet, how do you know what we're having? Are there any new dishes?"
"We open today. Thank you for your flower baskets. We have prepared new products especially for you." The ingredients are limited, but we can play with them in new ways. The same ingredients can have different flavors when eaten in different ways.
Jiang Ge was surprised, "So the flower basket was sent by Ah Xu? Why didn't you tell me? We came together."
Si Xu chuckled, "Shall we send the same flower basket together?"
"What's wrong with sending the same flower basket?" Jiang Ge didn't understand what was wrong with sending the same flower basket.
Of course not, Si Xu didn't want to send the same flower basket as him.
Si Xu stood in front of the bar, "Do you need help?"
Lin Jiu's knife strayed and almost cut his finger. "No need. You guys go to the private room first. It will be done soon."
Si Xu noticed Lin Jiu's unnaturalness, but did not affect him and went to the private room to wait.
Soon, Lin Jiu came in with a large tray. The richness of the dishes stunned Jiang Ge.
Lin Jiu brought down a clay pot, placed it on a bamboo mat, opened the lid, and the fragrance wafted out with the hot steam.
"Crab roe porridge is soft and easy to digest, and it nourishes the stomach."
The golden crab roe porridge is dotted with a little green, and the aroma makes people salivate.
Lin Jiu took a wooden spoon, filled two bowls with soup and placed them in front of Si Xu and Jiang Ge.
Lin Jiu then brought down a rectangular stone plate with two roasted crab legs on it. The crab legs were so big that they took up the entire stone plate. The crab shells had been opened, and the white crab leg meat was poured with a thick sauce, which made people salivate just by smelling it.
"Grilled devil's claw crab legs with sauce."
Lin Jiu took down two palm-sized lace shells. The shells were filled with clear soup. In the soup was a square piece of black star shell meat, and a few pomegranate and red fish roe were dotted on the shell meat.
"Scallop broth with caviar."
Lin Jiu put down a black slate, picked up a thick-cut piece of silver fish and placed it on the slate. Immediately, a "sizzling" sound was heard and the aroma of barbecue wafted out. Lin Jiu pressed the silver fish twice with a wooden tongs and turned it over. The fish that touched the slate became golden and crispy. He continued to press it lightly, then picked it up and put it on a plate. He took out the special sauce, dipped a little with a small brush and brushed it on the grilled silver fish.
"Grilled silver loaf on stone slab."
Lin Jiu finally brought down two exquisite small cups. Although the cups were small, the contents were very rich. There was a spoonful of chalcedony rice, a small piece of green radish leaf, a small piece of silver fish meat, a horned shrimp, three stone skull fish roe, and a special sauce on top.
A small cup, but rich in flavor and with distinct layers.
“Assorted sashimi cup.”
Lin Jiu controlled the portion of food to ensure they could finish it and be full, without wasting any.
After arranging the dishes, Lin Jiu asked them to taste them.
"I came at the right time tonight. I can eat delicious food with Ah Xu. Look at the dishes and the presentation. I feel a little disgusted with my Bai Ge Bay. What should I do?"
Jiang Ge excitedly took out his cell phone, took a few pictures, and brought them back to show Fang Qiankun. They were both chefs, but why were the dishes made by Lin Jiu so exquisite and beautiful, and tasted so wonderful? Why couldn't they make the same
Lin Jiu was wearing a mask, so his expression couldn't be seen, but his ears that were exposed were quietly red.
Si Xu smiled and said, "Sit down and eat together."
"You guys eat first, I'm busy."
At this time, the bell rang. Lin Jiu picked up the tray and went out, and saw two young girls standing at the door.
“Are you the boss?”
The two girls were very surprised. The boss was tall and had long legs and a great figure. With such a good figure, he would generally not look bad. Unfortunately, the boss was wearing a mask, so his appearance could not be seen, but his long hair was very conspicuous. The boss loosely braided his long hair, which made him look a bit free and unruly.
"Hello, I'm the boss of Moyu." Lin Jiu walked into the kitchen.
The sound is also very nice!
Both girls had just graduated from college and were at the age when they could appreciate handsome guys.
Han Yaoyao came to the bar and said with a smile, "We live next door. We just got off work and planned to go out for dinner. Uncle Xu told us that there's a seafood restaurant next door. The decoration is very beautiful, but it's a bit expensive. Let's see how expensive it is."
Lin Jiu motioned the girl to look at the left wall, "Please read the dining rules."
The two girls were startled, turned around to look, and then looked at each other with strange expressions, "The boss is quite unique."
I looked at the dishes on the blackboard again and saw only paella, with three different prices.
"Wow, it's really expensive!"
Han Yaoyao asked with a smile: "Boss, is your paella delicious? It's so expensive, so the taste should be guaranteed, right?"
Lin Jiu said: "It's up to you to decide, not me."
Han Yaoyao leaned over the bar, "Boss, how do you look? If you're handsome enough, I'll order a large seafood rice even if I have to eat dirt this month. Can you take off your mask and let us see?"
In the private room, Si Xu's chopsticks paused.
The store is very quiet, and the sound insulation of the private rooms is average, so conversations outside can be clearly heard in the rooms.
Si Xu heard Lin Jiu's answer, "A bowl of seafood rice won't last a month, so it's best to do what you can."
Si Xu smiled and continued eating.
Han Yaoyao puffed up his cheeks, "So, why is your paella so expensive? For the sake of our neighbors, can you give us a discount?"
Lin Jiu pointed to the dining rules on the opposite wall and said, "No bargaining."
Han Yaoyao pretended to be exaggerated, "Wow, the boss is so cruel to girls, be careful or you will not have a girlfriend in the future."
Lin Jiu didn't respond.
Han Yaoyao deliberately teased him, "How about you tell us what seafood is in the paella?"
Lin Jiu pointed to the opposite wall and asked her to look at the third one without asking about the ingredients.
Han Yaoyao didn't look at the dining rules, but just stared at the boss. "Your voice is very nice, why don't you say more? You have beautiful eyes, too. You must be very handsome, right?"
Lin Jiu stopped talking, but Han Yaoyao was still teasing him.
In the private room, Jiang Ge couldn't believe it, "Is Lin Jiu being teased?"
Si Xu put down his chopsticks, picked up a towel to wipe his mouth, put on a mask and went out.
"Hey, where are you going?" Jiang Ge got up and wanted to follow him out.
"You continue eating." The door of the private room was closed and almost pinched Jiang Ge's nose.
"The paella is delicious. Once you eat it, you'll never forget it. Would you like to try it?" Si Xu walked over.
The two girls were surprised and looked at the man coming over. He had a great figure and was taller than the boss. He was also wearing a mask. His eyes were pretty but cold, and his aura was a bit scary. He was not at all like the boss who was easy to tease.
