Chapter 34: If You Double the Price Again, I Will Definitely Beat You Up (2/2)
Ouyang Xiaoyi haughtily glanced at them as she memorized their orders and reported them to Bu Fang.
Xishu and Great Secretariat Su reluctantly finished their food with enraptured expressions. There was a reason for the expensive prices of the dishes. The taste was even better than food from the imperial kitchen. Also, the two of them could feel the true energy within their body had increased. It was obvious that the dishes were extraordinary.
As they hurriedly left the store, the people at the start of the queue took their seats. Bu Fang's cooking speed was fast as well, so they did not have to wait for too long.
Without a doubt, everyone who tasted Bu Fang's dishes was completely subdued.
Zhao Ruge's appetite was being triggered as he breathed in the fragrance drifting from the store and watched the customers—that had finished eating—reluctantly leave.
It was his third time coming to the store, but he was unable to taste the dishes the previous times. From the looks of it, they seemed pretty good. He was looking forward to trying them out.
When someone satisfactorily left the store, a joyful expression immediately appeared on Zhao Ruge's face. He elegantly walked into the store and gracefully stopped in front of Ouyang Xiaoyi.
”Oh, it's you, sissy Zhao,” Ouyang Xiaoyi looked up and said while pouting. She obviously knew Zhao Ruge.
”For the princess of Ouyang family to humbly become a waitress, what a waste. Tsk, tsk, tsk. I'll have Lees Fish,” Zhao Ruge ordered after glancing at the menu. If he had to eat, he would eat the most expensive dish.
”That's none of your concern!” Ouyang Xiaoyi snorted while scrunching her nose.
She turned around and walked to the entrance of the kitchen to report the order. However, before she could shout it out, Bu Fang expressionlessly walked out of the kitchen.
”Today's business hours is over. Customers who haven't eaten, come back tomorrow,” Bu Fang simply said.
With his words, the eight people in the queue started to clamor.
”What? We've already waited for close to an hour and you're telling us that you're not cooking anymore?”
”Owner Bu, this is unfair to us! It's still early, so you should continue cooking. We want to taste your dishes.”
…...
Bu Fang was unfazed while facing the countless complaints by the crowd.
”I'll say it again. Today's business hours is over. If you want to eat, come early tomorrow. Oh, and please don't make a racket,” Bu Fang expressionlessly said.
Behind him, Whitey's mechanical eyes were shining red as they locked on the people who were clamoring. Immediately, these people went silent as if they were being strangled.
With Whitey keeping watch, they could only swallow their anger and resentfully leave while thinking about how to report to their masters.
Zhao Ruge felt as if a countless amount of invisible arrows had pierced his chest. ”Damn it, business hours is over again?! Could you not be so punctual?”
”Owner Bu, I'll pay five times the price… I want to order!” Unwilling to give up, Zhao Ruge tried to persuade Bu Fang.
”I refuse. You've already tried to tempt me the previous time,” Bu Fang simply said.
”Rules are determined by humans, Owner Bu! Ten times! How about ten times the price? Today, I definitely must try out your dishes,” Zhao Ruge gnashed his teeth and said while ominously glaring at Bu Fang.
”No.” Bu Fang's heart was bleeding as he resentfully rejected Zhao Ruge. ”If you raise your offer once more, I will definitely beat you up!”
Zhao Ruge was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood. He coldly glanced at Bu Fang, then angrily snorted and stormed out of the store.
Ouyang Xiaoyi's face was filled with admiration as she looked at Bu Fang. She always thought that Bu Fang was a greedy person. She did not think that he would be so principled.
”Smelly boss, the way you rejected that sissy was so handsome!” Ouyang Xiaoyi gave him a thumbs up.
”Haha,” Bu Fang expressionlessly smiled.
...
On the next two days, Fang Fang's Little Store was always teeming with people. There were new customers arriving every day. Xushi and Great Secretariat Su would come every single day and were completely subdued by Bu Fang's food.
On the other hand, the Xiao siblings and the third prince, Ji Chengxue, did not appear during that time. Of course, Bu Fang was slightly surprised but did not pay any heed.
And so, the third day arrived.
It was also a very important day in the imperial city.
The number one expert in the imperial city, Great General Xiao Meng, was triumphantly returning after battling the clans outside the empire borders. He was escorting the six leaders of the Heterodox Sect, Death Soul Palace, that he took as prisoners back to the imperial city.
That day, the imperial city was filled with opportunities as the city gates were laid wide open.
