Lu Zhixia was delighted to receive the praise. "Then you must come often, brother. My family makes a lot of dumpling fillings, and we will gradually add more varieties in the future!"
The man took a tissue from the box on the table and wiped his mouth.
"It tastes delicious, I love it! Keep up the good work, girl!"
After saying that, he turned and left, still talking to the people coming in as he went out the door.
"Their dumplings are amazing! If you buy a lot today, they'll give you a lot free!"
Upon hearing this, the group quickly squeezed inside, trying to find a place to eat dumplings.
After Lu Zhixia finished arranging seats for those people, sweat broke out on her forehead.
Su Lan came out with a large tray. "Who ordered dumplings just now?"
Lu Zhixia walked over, took it, and placed it on the table by the door.
"Alright, your dumplings are all ready. Please settle the bill first."
The man in the lead had just picked up his chopsticks when he heard this and became displeased. "What, are you afraid I can't afford dumplings? You're asking me for money now?"
Lu Zhixia smiled and said, "This is our store's rule, and it applies to everyone. You can ask the customers behind you!"
The man turned around and saw a lot of people eating. Wow, this store is doing really well.
Based on this turnover, one can earn several hundred yuan a month.
Just thinking about the profit, he looked around.
If I could take over this shop and hire a few people to make dumplings, wouldn't I be able to make just as much money myself?
He stroked his chin, pondering something, then turned around and saw his subordinates eating dumplings. These gluttons were eating pretty fast.
In the blink of an eye, the two plates of dumplings were gone. He quickly grabbed one plate, then picked up his chopsticks and started eating the dumplings in big bites.
You'll know how good it is after just one bite. It's fragrant but not greasy, with just the right flavor, and most importantly, there's a lot of meat inside.
And the meat wasn't dry; the dumpling filling was expertly prepared. I heard calls coming from behind...
"Boss, another three ounces of chive and egg soup, please!"
"I want half a pound of celery and pork!"
"Another pound of pickled cabbage and pork, I'll take it with me!"
The sounds came one after another; it was impossible for him not to hear them.
Seeing his men staring at the dumplings in front of him, he realized they had all finished eating. Goodness, they were never short of food or drink.
They're eating dumplings like they're out of their minds. Didn't they come here to cause trouble?
He ate one dumpling with each chopstick, and when he stopped, he found there were only two dumplings left, which was a bit ridiculous.
He pulled a cockroach out of his pocket, looked around, and stuffed it directly into a dumpling, then slammed his chopsticks down on the table.
"What's this?" He then waved the plate around. "No wonder these dumplings tasted so good, turns out there were cockroaches in them!"
Then he handed it to the people behind him, saying, "Take a look and see if this is a cockroach?"
Those people backed away after seeing it, feeling a bit nauseous after just eating dumplings.
Lu Zhixia tried to rush over but Gu Lingxiao stopped her with his hand. Then, as he walked over, Gu Lingxiao grabbed the person and pinned him down.
Gu Lingxiao spoke up, "What do you mean by needing evidence for everything?"
The man looked up abruptly, and upon seeing the man's eyes, he was so frightened that he stammered.
"I found a cockroach in my food at your restaurant, why can't I tell you?"
Gu Lingxiao grabbed the other person's arm. "Come on, let's go outside and talk!"
The man immediately objected and started yelling at the crowd behind him.
"See! They're feeling guilty."
Lu Zhixia walked over and looked at the dumplings on the plate. She knew very well how careful she was about hygiene, so there was no way a cockroach could have gotten into the dumplings.
In other words, this man framed her, and she picked up the dumplings from the plate.
The man yelled, "If you're so capable, then eat the dumplings, and I'll pretend nothing happened!"
He was genuinely frightened by the man next to him; he knew he couldn't make a scene, or things would definitely end badly.
Lu Zhixia simply peeled open a dumpling in front of everyone, took out a cockroach, and said to everyone,
"You can see up close, this cockroach isn't quite dead yet!"
Curious onlookers immediately gathered around; the cockroach's legs were still moving, but it wasn't as lively anymore.
Someone immediately questioned, "How come the cockroach is still alive in these freshly cooked dumplings?"
"Yeah! How come it's alive?"
"He put it in there, didn't he!" the man roared angrily. "You're so despicable! I just ate dumplings, and they made me feel nauseous. How could you do this!"
The man immediately took a few steps back. "That cockroach must have been replaced; how could it possibly be alive!"
Lu Zhixia said, "How dare you say that! If I had that ability, I wouldn't be running a dumpling restaurant!"
The people behind started to jeer.
"You're the one who put cockroaches in dumplings to scam money, aren't you!"
I think so!
"There are more and more people doing bad things these days, their social class is too low!"
The man lost his composure. "What nonsense are you spouting? I'm not lying, it's a fact that there was a cockroach in this dumpling!" He then pointed at the group of people.
"You just didn't get to eat any, you'll definitely get cockroaches next time!"
That resolute look instantly cast a shadow in the minds of such people.
Lu Zhixia said, "I can guarantee that if any problems arise after you eat at my restaurant, I will take full responsibility!"
After hearing this, everyone nodded. They thought the food was delicious and the owner was a good person, so they chose to trust him.
Seeing their expressions, the man knew his plan had failed, so he tried to slip away, quickly tugging at their arms, "I can't argue with you, let me go!"
