The guests who came here for the Beggar’s Chicken looked on with folded arms. They had positive thoughts about Baiwei Restaurant before, but after hearing the quarrel, they instantly changed their minds.
“I also think it’s expensive according to them...”
“Yeah, the most expensive dish in Baiwei Building before was the Fragrant Rice. But now the price of the Beggar’s Chicken is ten times more than the Fragrant Rice.”
“I’m getting cheated by this profiteer. Baiwei Building, give my money back!”
“Baiwei Building, give my money back!”
“Give my money back!”
Under the push of a group of people who had ulterior motives, the crowd grew angrier. It was too noisy to eat for the guests on the second floor. They could only leave with disappointment.
“Calm down please! Calm down please!”
The manager of the restaurant was overwhelmed, pushed and shoved by the crowd, and nobody saw who threw the
Su Huanli was shocked and confused by the sudden trouble. He did not expect the source of this trouble to be other restaurants.“I was so angry that I became confused. Wu, forget about it.” Su Huanli sighed and patted the shoulders of the shopkeeper.Though Shopkeeper Wu was sad, he politely said, “You were too serious.”“From my point of view...” He Shi interjected, “There is no need to worry. People such as Mr. Zhou do not lack money, so they will not be bribed by other restaurants. So long as Miss Su performs normally tomorrow, she will surely win. Maybe our restaurant will gain more status.”Speaking of this, He Shi laughed, “I haven’t tasted the Beggar’s Chicken cooked by Miss Su. I really want to taste it.”Su Huanli was speechless and did not know what to say. Su Zipei, who was eavesdropping outside the door immediately turned overjoyed and shouted, “Daddy, what are you talking about?”He Shi looked
After four hours of roasting, everyone dozed off and even Su Huanli fell asleep with peace of mind. Only the seven chief cooks and He Shi who stood at the back of the kitchen still had a fixed gaze.He Shi’s face was extremely terrible looking, as a sense of deception and embarrassment filled his heart. He even began to doubt whether his original decision to change jobs was right or not.“Clang!”Fang Yuan knocked on gongs and drums, and everyone woke up immediately. Su Zipei struggled to lift the grill and removed the roasted Beggar’s Chicken from the grill on a plate.“I’m done!” Showing a lovely smile, Su Zipei’s clear voice resounded through the site, “Have a taste, seniors.”Mr. Zhou rubbed his eyes and saw that the color of the soil ball was darker than the usual dish the restaurant served. His eyes quickly brightened up, “Be Quick. Give it to everyone!”“Go ahead right now!” The shopkeeper urged Fan
Cooking was so easy for Su Li. She mastered both the cutting technique as well as duration and degree of heating so well that the eight judges sitting on the judging table, He Shi, and ordinary people standing behind to watch the scene of bustle, were all fascinated.“Her cooking can be described as natural and smooth. If she can practice martial arts, she may show an even higher level of talent...”Fang Yuan was fascinated. He was surprised to see a trace of harmony between man and nature in Su Li’s cooking.She used the same ingredients and the same steps. Yet the performance of the Third Miss and the Second Miss could be described as completely different. When people saw Su Li’s skillful handling of food materials, they could not help exclaiming and didn’t doze off for nearly six hours.“You have waited for too long.”Su Li put away the roasted Beggar’s Chicken and smiled sweetly, saying, “Can anyone help me knock i
When Su Li saw the restaurant was full of diners, she asked, “Uncle He, is everything okay?”He Shi smiled loudly, “Thanks to you, the restaurant business is pretty good. I earn more money than ever before...”“That’s good. I am here today for something else. I heard that Fang Yuan has a sister. The place where they live is not very safe. I see that a lot of helpers’ rooms are empty. I want to arrange a single room for them.”After He Shi heard these words, he was shocked and happy, “I see. That’s the reason why Fang Yuan wants to go home every day. I thought he was lazy. If you care about the restaurant helpers, and the restaurant will be prosperous in the future... Without further ado, I’ll call him here.”“Sorry to trouble you.” Su Li nodded and thanked him.After a while, He Shi smiled and walked to her together with Fang Yuan, who was confused.“Miss, I must go back to work. The kitchen is busy.” He S
When the night just came, Su Li took the brother and sister to the restaurant. The anxious Shopkeeper Wu was relieved and said, “Miss, you’re finally back. Why did you leave for such a long time?”Then Shopkeeper Wu’s eyesight skipped over the Second Miss and fell onto Fang Yuan. The shopkeeper looked serious and scolded, “Fang Yuan, how could you lead the Second Miss to the South Street? If the Second Miss were in danger, would you be able to help her?”Fang Yuan’s eyes flashed, revealing some internal complexities, but he said nothing and looked at Su Li.Su Li waved her hand and whispered, “Do not blame Fang Yuan. It’s my fault. Fang Yuan’s sister caught a cold, so I took her to the Baicao Tang. It took some time. We did not encounter any danger.”“I see.” The shopkeeper turned to the Second Miss with a gentle expression and immediately smiled, “I went to visit the Master today. He praised you that your accounts comments were ex
After four hours, it was the darkest part of the night.Fang Yuan, who was tired like a dead dog, lay on top of the carriage piled with raw materials and watched Su Li skillfully driving the carriage deep into the mountains. He felt stranger and stranger. Considering Su Li’s place as the miss of the Su Family, how could she have such good driving skills?In his eyes, Su Li was mysterious and unpredictable like a mist.He struggled to sit up after a few breaths. Looking at the back of the carriage, he frowned and blurted out, “Little... Su Li, the carriage is so heavy that it would leave a deep rut. We’ll be easily found.”“Not really.” Su Li answered confidently ahead of the carriage but didn’t say anything more.Fang Yuan could not help frowning more heavily. He remembered what had happened on the South Street the other day. But he did not ask any questions; instead, he turned back and lay down to recover his strength
“Alas…”Li Yin sighed and finally floated to the surface of the lake. He flew down on the bridge and held his fists, “I didn’t expect to meet someone like you in Jianghu. I’m not as good as you in terms of cultivation. We admit our defeat this time. I’m just wondering why a senior of the acquired ninth hurdle who can obtain ten thousand of taels of silver at his fingertips is embarrassing the Su Family.”Su Li gave a cold humph without a reply.When Li Yin saw it, a cold sweat appeared on his forehead. He went to Su Huanli and whispered, “Master, sorry, I can’t defeat him.”Su Huanli looked gloomy and said, “You have never fought against each other. How can you know the victory or defeat?”He suspected that Li Yin was being a coward.Li Yin’s expression changed slightly, and his voice grew cold, “Master, do you want me to be badly hurt before you believe me? If I fight against him, maybe he’ll kill you as
Su Li was slightly shocked, though she had noticed it before. However, she pretended to be puzzled, “Master, was it fake Xuangong that I practiced before?”Qi Xianqing suddenly laughed, and he smiled and explained, “Our faction is called the Ghost Valley and always has a few members. But each of them is an excellent genius. The Ghost Valley Meditation Direction is the miraculous martial arts which can only be practiced by the master of the Ghost Valley. Since it is the miraculous martial arts, it has a lot of miracles.”“But so far, there hasn’t been any miraculous feeling in the practice. Why?”Su Li went on asking Qi Xianqing, but he did not answer. He raised his hand and nodded slightly. There was a little bit of a starburst in the air.“Star Force?!” Su Li trembled and remembered the legend she heard in the previous life.“This power is called the Star Force.”Qi Xianqing looked tired. It was extremely
