Chapter 316 The kitchen was noisy

"Cough cough~"

"Cough cough~"

"Cough cough~"

"..."

After a long time, with Wan Qiqi's help, the group finally got Sixi to spit out the radish that was stuck in his throat.

Wan Qiqi also noticed something amiss.

This guy named Sixi isn't a man at all; he's a girl in disguise!

She was thin and fair-skinned, with somewhat messy hair. She was only a teenager, and dressed in boys' clothes, she was completely unrecognizable as a girl.

However, when Wan Qiqi saved her, she accidentally touched her slightly protruding chest.

The child was wary of being touched by anyone, probably because she was afraid others would find out she was a girl.

In ancient times, unlike in modern times, almost all job postings only accepted men, not women.

In ancient times, women were expected to stay at home and take care of their parents and children when entertaining guests.

When you're out in the world, people tend to gossip about you.

But Wan Qiqi wasn't from ancient times, so she didn't have that requirement. She even believed that girls were more perceptive than boys and could better grasp the preferences of their guests.

She lowered her head and quietly watched Sixi, who was clutching her chest and panting.

Si Xi sat on the ground, her face flushed, still shaken by what had just happened.

She looked up and met those scrutinizing eyes, then crawled and knelt before Wan Qiqi.

"Manager Wan, cough cough... please forgive me... I'll never steal food again, cough cough... please don't send me away!"

Si Xi tugged at Wan Qi Qi's skirt, her eyes welling up with tears.

She was completely unaware that the other person had already discovered her.

Wan Qiqi was taken aback, and a sense of helplessness gradually appeared in her eyes.

It's just a white radish, what's the big deal?

Is this person willing to risk their life for this reason?

"Manager Wan, I was really wrong. Please deduct my wages...please deduct my wages, okay? Don't kick me out!"

Si Xi begged for mercy, but Wan Qiqi remained expressionless, which the people around couldn't bear to watch any longer!

Lei Zi cursed, "It's just a radish, do you have to make things difficult for her? She even knelt down and begged for mercy, and you didn't say a word. What does that mean?"

His appearance was already fierce, and those who survived looked like they were about to beat up Wan Qiqi.

Erpang and Tieniu immediately blocked Lei Zi's way, looking as if they were determined to protect Wan Qiqi with their lives.

At this moment, Panda finally spoke up, saying, "I gave you the radish, I cooked the vegetables. If it's not working out, I'm leaving."

Wan Qiqi had noticed Panda long ago.

Although he seemed to be a man of few words, it was quite obvious that he was the leader of these people.

Zhu Chengye also mentioned that Panda was in charge of the kitchen.

I heard that Panda used to work at a restaurant in Yunhe County with Lei Zi, and they offended a wealthy family in Yunhe County, almost getting themselves imprisoned.

It was only after Panda's family members begged and apologized in front of his house that he was spared.

However, since then, no restaurants in Yunhe County have hired them again.

Left with no other choice, Panda returned to Lotus Breeze Town with his brothers, where they happened to be hired by a restaurant.

Wan Qiqi laughed at Zhu Chengye, asking if he wasn't afraid of bringing trouble upon himself.

Zhu Chengye just thought about it without saying anything.

Wan Qiqi didn't care about this, because she had already offended many people, and she wasn't afraid of offending one more because of Panda.

But the prerequisite is that Panda and her group can bring her benefits and allow her restaurant to operate smoothly.

Based on today's dishes, she felt that Panda and his group didn't have the ability!

Wan Qiqi said calmly, "Fine, you can leave!"

These words caused an uproar in the audience.

Panda's face also showed a hint of surprise.

He was just saying it casually, but he didn't expect that this person would actually ask him to leave.

Half of the restaurant's staff came with him. If he leaves, the restaurant will be half-depleted, making it impossible to open on the tenth of the month.

He never expected this woman to be so bold!

"Why should you leave just like that? Even if you are the manager, you are only the second manager. It was Manager Zhu who hired us. You have no right to kick us out!" Lei Zi said indignantly, looking ready to fight.

"Everything in the restaurant is split equally between me and Manager Zhu. I have equal rights with him, so why can't I?" Wan Qiqi smiled faintly. "Just because the dishes you made today didn't meet my standards, I can fire you!"

Panda's expression darkened, seemingly displeased with Wan Qiqi's evaluation of his dishes.

Lei Zi slammed the radish in his hand on the ground and shouted, "Not up to standard? What do you know, you woman? We've been in this business for five or six years, what kind of dish can't we cook? Who gives you the right to tell us what to do?"

"If you can't even satisfy the customers' tastes, how dare you say you've been a chef for five or six years?" Wan Qiqi's eyes were cold, like an icy pool.

Then, she smiled and said, "How do you know I can't cook these dishes?"

With just a glance and a smile, one can create an invisible sense of oppression.

In a daze, they felt that the person standing in front of them was not a woman, but the daughter of a powerful and influential official.

Wan Qiqi, the daughter of an official, doesn't qualify.

But despite having power and influence, Wan Qiqi is only a half-baked talent.

After all, her husband worked in the county government, her elder brother was a scholar who had passed the imperial examinations, and her best friend was the daughter of the county magistrate.

By all accounts, she wielded some power in Yunhe County.

However, since it was all borrowed from others, not her own, she didn't find it particularly useful.

As the two argued, Sixi looked up blankly, her eyes showing a mixture of fear and curiosity.

She had never seen a woman as strong-willed as Wan Qiqi.

If I could be like her, I wouldn't have ended up in this situation.
