Chapter 142 - Chen Xians Visit (1/2)
Fresh green vegetables, high quality meat, including pepper, ginger, garlic, gingko, fragrant leaves, bell peppers, and other condiments were prepared…
Lu Yuxi stuttered in shock. “W-Where did you get this?”
Before Xu Le could reply, a face was pressed against the glass window outside. That person looked fierce and impatient as he shouted, “Are you done? How much longer do you need? I’ve been waiting all morning. Do you want to starve me to death?”
Lu Yuxi smiled courteously and quickly said, “I’m really sorry, may I know your queue number? If you can’t continue to wait, you can directly ask for a refund on the system. I can also give you some snacks as compensation later.”
“My dear viewers, the broadcaster can’t enter the kitchen, so I’m broadcasting live to everyone. Look, the person inside is the little Master Chef ~”
On the screen of his cell phone, there was a constant stream of small gifts being sent to him. The host beamed and said, “I still want to order more dishes. Those few dishes just now were especially delicious. Do you have rice? Give me another serving.”
Lu Yuxi gritted her teeth and suppressed her temper. “Yes, please make your order by following the procedures.”
These people were simply enjoying the show and swarmed over like a swarm of bees. The person who had urged them at the start did not intend to make a refund. Instead, he shouted at the people who were watching the show, “Look, if the shop is not ready, then don’t open for business. You created such a big gimmick and everyone came all the way here for nothing. We ordered the dishes but they were not served. Are you trying to cheat us of our money?”
Lu Yuxi looked at the queue number on his phone and immediately frowned. “Brother, you ordered it two minutes ago. I can only serve you some time later, right?”
The man looked embarrassed. “It doesn’t matter when I ordered it. The main thing is that you guys didn’t do a good job at all. There are only two people in such a big shop and the manager is still a kid. What food can he make? Let me see, choosing such a big place is a waste!”
Xu Le did not care that he was trying to change the subject. He turned around and smiled. “This uncle works in the same industry as me, so you must be particular about the dishes. You must have a taste later.”
This man’s expression appeared to be sincere, so the customers who were watching the fun were immediately excited.
“You’re in the same industry?”
“You’re already so old, yet you’re still looking for a child’s fault. Aren’t you being too much of a bully?”
“Yeah, is what the little Master Chef said true?”
“If you want to cause trouble, don’t disturb our meal. Little Master Chef, you do your job. We’ll wait.”
The man who was hugging his arms turned red under the criticism of the crowd. He said stubbornly, “I’m eating lunch normally. How is that considered as bullying someone from my industry? If you guys really have good taste, my shop is on the third floor… I’ll be able to get three Michelin stars very soon.”
The host joined in the fun excitedly and explained, “My dear viewers, there’s something huge happening! Let us wait and see if we can successfully eat today!”
The commotion outside came to an end under the criticisms of the customers. After it subsided, Lu Yuxi went into the kitchen to serve the dishes.
“How do you know he’s in the same industry? Have you seen him before?”
“No, all chefs have something in common.”
Lu Yuxi asked curiously, “What is it?”
“For example, the collar and sleeves will inevitably be stained with oil and fishy smell. If you cut too many vegetables with your hands, you will grow a thin layer of calluses. It’s very easy to recognize.”
“Oh.”
Lu Yuxi then remembered about the ingredients.
Xu Le tried his best to prepare the dishes and winked at Lu Yuxi mysteriously. “Of course I have a trick up my sleeve. Alright, serve the dishes now. If the customers get anxious, it will affect our reputation.”
Lu Yuxi had always trusted him. When she heard this explanation, she didn’t doubt it at all and immediately agreed happily.
“Luckily you prepared a Plan B. Otherwise, I would have died of guilt today. Next is the chicken wing stew. There are a total of 13 portions, and they are all slightly spicy. Can you cook them all in one pot?”
“Yes.”
