Chapter 150 How to Thank Me

The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly: "Yes, you are the most reasonable person I have ever met. I will get busy now."

The restaurant's business is growing bigger and bigger now. It also accepts birthday banquets from some wealthy families. It is considered a well-known restaurant in the town.

Everything was going on as planned, but the boss who supplied the meat had not delivered the goods until almost noon. This made everyone in the kitchen very anxious, as they had important things to do today, and if the meat and vegetables had not arrived yet, it would be too late if they were to wait any longer.

"Don't worry, I'll go see what's going on."

Jiang Xueying found this matter strange. After all, this was a business they had cooperated with for a long time. Even if something happened, the boss should have sent her a message. Why was there still no movement?

She hurriedly took people to the pork shop, but found that the shop was closed. Jiang Xueying couldn't help but feel nervous. What was going on?

If the birthday banquet was delayed, the reputation of their restaurant would inevitably be affected in a very bad way, which could not be restored no matter how much money was spent. In the first place, they chose to cooperate with this restaurant because its pork was of good quality, they never cheated people, and they never sold dead pork, but they did not expect such a thing to happen at this critical moment.

"Ma'am, do you know where the owner of this shop has gone?"

After taking a look at the closed door, the old lady sighed and said, "Alas, something happened to the boss's family, and he hurried back to his hometown to handle the funeral. He didn't have time to explain to anyone, so he packed up his things and rushed back to his hometown."

It turned out to be for a funeral.

This is inevitable, but how could it be such a coincidence?

More importantly, the boss had clearly promised to deliver the goods that day. Even if something happened at home, he should have notified us in advance or sent someone to deliver a letter. How could he suddenly disappear without any news?

Jiang Xueying reached out and pressed her temple. Now she could only think of another solution. It had to be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise the problem of the birthday banquet could not be solved at all, and nothing she said would be able to make up for it.

Just when she was anxious, Hu Tianyu suddenly appeared.

"Hey, the boss and I are really destined to meet. I didn't expect to meet here."

Hu Tianyu saw that she looked worried, so he pretended to be surprised and said, "What's the matter? Did the boss encounter some troubles? Why don't you tell me about it? Maybe I can help you."

"Really? I may not be able to help with this matter."

Seeing that he insisted, Jiang Xueying told him the news of the out-of-stock situation.

"Oh, so it's about this. Then boss, you can go back to the restaurant and wait. I will definitely try to solve it. Don't worry, I will take care of this matter."

Hu Tianyu left after he finished speaking, looking as if he was in a hurry to do something.

Watching his back as he left, Jiang Xueying still felt that this matter seemed a little strange, but she didn't have the time to delve into it at this moment.

As soon as they got back to the restaurant, the shopkeeper immediately asked, "How is it, did the butcher say he was going to deliver the goods?"

"He went back to his hometown to attend a funeral, and the door is closed."

The shopkeeper got a little anxious when he heard this: "This...what should we do? Why did something go wrong at this time? This birthday banquet is a big business. If something goes wrong, no one will dare to let us host a banquet in the future."

The restaurant's business has been built steadily from the beginning. If something goes wrong because of this birthday party, its reputation will be ruined and it will be impossible to recover in the future.

"Don't worry, someone promised me that he would try to solve it. We just need to wait here."

Jiang Xueying had no intention of hiding it, so she told the shopkeeper what had just happened.

The shopkeeper narrowed his eyes thoughtfully. Is this really such a coincidence? The butcher has been cooperating with them for a while, and he is not the kind of person who goes back on his word.

"Anyway, there is no other way now. Let's wait. If he can't do anything, I will take people to the East Market and buy all the missing things."

Although the road is a bit far, the things there are complete and not expensive.

After hearing her say this, the shopkeeper finally put his mind at ease.

"That's fine, then we'll just wait."

Hu Tianyu now intends to please Jiang Xueying, so he will naturally not go back on his word.

He quickly arranged for people to purchase all the missing materials and then personally delivered them to the restaurant.

Seeing the necessary ingredients, everyone in the kitchen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they were delivered in time, otherwise they would have been too late to cook the meat dishes.

"Boss, you've seen it all, right? I'm not lying. I specially asked someone to collect these things, and it took a lot of effort. How are you going to thank me?"

Hu Tianyu stared at Jiang Xueying straight. If he spoke more frivolously, he would be a real playboy, which would make people feel a little greasy.

Jiang Xueying quietly distanced herself from him and chuckled, "Of course I have to thank you, but I don't have anything else to treat you. If you don't mind, come to the restaurant often. I'll ask the shopkeeper to register. If you come, all the fees will be waived. What do you think?"

"Are you kidding me, boss?"

Hu Tianyu was obviously a little dissatisfied with the result. He raised the corners of his eyes, revealing a hint of danger.

It seems that this man really has ulterior motives. Jiang Xueying tried to deal with him while thinking about how to get rid of him.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, a familiar figure suddenly rushed in from the door. It was Jiang Xueshu who was hiding and peeking.

She roared like crazy: "What are you doing? Jiang Xueying, how can you be so shameless that you dare to seduce my cousin? I will tear your face off!"

This girl is really crazy.

"What are you talking about? There is nothing going on between me and this young master."

Jiang Xueying was very calm. She was worried about not being able to find an opportunity to send someone away, but she didn't expect this opportunity to come to her.

Jiang Xueshu was not willing to believe it. She looked at the two of them with a distorted face, her voice full of anger: "You still dare to quibble? You are a shameless person. You dare to seduce men after you are married. He is not someone you can easily mess with. If you look at him again, I will dig your eyes out!"

There were quite a few people watching the fun around, and they were talking about the quarrel when they heard it.

Hu Tianyu was also horrified at this moment. He never expected Jiang Xueshu to rush over at this time. He couldn't help feeling angry, but he quickly suppressed the slightest bit of guilt.

"What are you doing here? Why don't you go back quickly? Do you want to be laughed at?"

Jiang Xueshu was stunned. She didn't expect that her cousin would say such words to her in front of so many people. Her eyes turned red instantly and she looked at him in disbelief.

"Why should I go back? Am I going to watch her seduce you and then live with you forever?"
