Hua Shi wasn't frightened by their expressions and said slowly, "If the restaurant's lack of business is due to the food, I might be able to help you."

Guan Wei stared at her, his face full of doubt, but there was a glimmer of hope in his eyes. He kept asking, "Do you have a solution? What solution do you have?"

Xie Mingchi was also a little confused and turned to look at Hua Shi.

Hua Shi gave him a look that urged him to stay calm.

"Can you take me to the kitchen of your restaurant?" Hua Shi did not give a direct answer, but changed the subject.

Guan Ling, who was standing aside, had a face full of doubts. He looked at Hua Shi, then at his elder brother, and swallowed back the words he was about to say.

She wanted to see what method could save this tavern...

Guan Wei didn't blindly believe her because she said she had a solution. Instead, he looked at Hua Shi and the other man hesitantly for several times and asked, "What are you two doing here?"

Before Hua Shi could say anything, the waiter beside him immediately said, "They are here to sell fish, they say they are fishermen."

A meal when spending time.

She didn't even mention that she was a fisherman...

When Guan Wei heard this, his eyes fell on the fish basket on the table. He looked down and saw the fish in the basket. His eyes lit up.

"Did you catch this fish? Or did you raise it yourself?" he asked repeatedly, and it was obvious that he was very interested.

"I grew it myself, but it's not ripe yet. I have to wait until early July." Hua Shi repeated what he had just said.

When Guan Wei heard this, he immediately understood the purpose of the two people's visit.

"Are you planning to wait until early July to sell the fish to me?" Guan Wei asked.

"Yes, if the boss wants, we will keep the fish in the pond." Hua Shi nodded.

Guan Wei looked up and down at the two men's attire and suddenly asked, "Where are you two from?"

"From Shoushan Village."

"Shoushan Village?" Guan Wei frowned slightly, as if recalling something, and then said: "I remember two years ago, I ordered fish from a family in your village."

Hua Shi didn't say anything, so Guan Wei said, "Well, first tell me how you can help me."

Guan Weixu really cared about the survival of this fish restaurant. Thinking that there was a way to save it, he did not hesitate for long and took Hua Shi and Xie Mingchi towards the kitchen.

Guan Ling followed behind out of curiosity.

The four of them went there together. They saw a huge kitchen with only one chef and one apprentice inside. However...

Hua Shi looked at the messy kitchen, and a strong fishy smell rushed into her nose. The disgusting smell was very pungent.

"Ugh...what's that smell?! It stinks!"

Guan Ling, who had just stepped in, smelled the fishy smell and immediately took two steps back, screaming softly.

The chef, who was cleaning the fish's entrails, heard the sound of someone opening the door curtain and entering. His face immediately drooped, thinking that the two ignorant waiters outside had come in again. Without even turning his head, he cursed and scolded:

"Didn't I tell you guys? You're not allowed into the kitchen without my permission. The recipes for these signature dishes are our Li family's unique skills. Are you trying to steal my skills?!"

"Chef Li, it's me." Guan Wei frowned subconsciously when he heard his harsh words, and his expression became even worse when he smelled the strong fishy smell in the kitchen.

Chef Li's expression of impatience immediately subsided after he heard Guan Wei's voice. He hurriedly wiped the fish blood off his hands with his clothes and turned to look at the group of people behind him.

"Big Boss...? And Second Boss, why are you here? Who are these two...?"

Chef Li wiped his hands helplessly and asked hesitantly.

Guan Wei looked at the messy kitchen with a gloomy expression and scolded coldly, "Didn't you say you were researching new dishes? Turning the kitchen into this state, is that what you called researching dishes?!"

Seeing the boss's angry expression, Chef Li panicked for a moment, then immediately calmed down and said, "Yes, this fish is inherently fishy and smelly. If you want to cook it well, of course you have to keep trying."

Guan Wei looked at his calm appearance, and the anger on his face subsided a little. He hummed softly: "Then let me see the dishes you have been researching these days."

Seeing his expression soften, Chef Li became even calmer: "Boss, it's not possible yet. It's not easy to research new dishes. It will take some time."

Guan Wei looked unhappy, gloomy and silent.

Chef Li spoke skillfully, clearly accustomed to this kind of situation. He then soothed the man, feeling pleased with himself, and said confidently, "Boss, don't you still trust me? Didn't you taste my sour soup fish before?"

When Guan Wei mentioned his specialty, his expression softened slightly and he waved his hand, "Alright, alright, you guys just focus on your own things, I'll just take the others to take a look."

"Okay." Chef Li agreed readily, but his eyes glanced secretly at Hua Shi and Xie Mingchi behind Guan Wei, and his eyes seemed very cautious and vigilant.

Guan Wei turned back to look at the flowers and said, "Look."

Hua Shi took two steps forward and looked around the spacious kitchen. His gaze fell on Chef Li and the fish he was chopping.

She took two more steps forward and walked to the side of Chef Li, watching his hands handling the fish. He looked very unfamiliar with the movements, not like a chef at all, but more like an amateur.
