"Look, as soon as you changed employers, people started causing trouble. Your Mercury retrograde luck is really something else."
Hearing the commotion, Yu Wei raised an eyebrow and teased Cen Xi with a smile.
"It's just canceling a meal, right? We can just invite them in for a meal. Let's go! Let's go out and take a look."
Cen Xi didn't take it seriously and got up directly.
"We should go and see who is so blind."
Yu Weiwei grabbed Cen Xi's hand and waited for her to go out and take revenge on the scumbags.
Outside the restaurant, the waiter, his forehead beaded with sweat, explained to the scholars:
"I'm sorry, sir, our Zhenxiu Restaurant suddenly changed owners last night and is currently undergoing renovations. We really can't serve you today."
“We booked the 'Fu Rong Grilled Fish' here more than ten days ago, and today you’re telling us we can’t eat it. Are you deliberately trying to make things difficult for us?”
As soon as Cen Xi came out, she saw a scholar with his hands on his hips, pointing at the waiter and cursing.
Cen Xi pulled the waiter aside and asked:
"Do you want to eat?"
"Yes, we made a reservation more than ten days ago. Today, when we all came, we were told that you have changed owners and you won't serve us. Shouldn't you compensate us?"
After Cen Xi finished asking her question, the nitpicking scholar, hands on his hips, explained to Cen Xi with an impatient expression.
"How much compensation do you want? If I told you that the table you booked is still edible, what would you choose?"
Cen Xi smiled and asked.
Are you sure you can eat this?
Upon hearing Cen Xi's words, it was the scholar's turn to raise an eyebrow.
"Yes, that's fine."
Cen Xi looked at him and nodded faintly.
"Is it still Chef Li's braised fish with egg white?"
The scholar looked at Cen Xi with a suspicious expression.
"Of course, Zhenxiulou has only changed the manager, not the chef. Come in if you want to eat."
Cen Xi gave the speaker a meaningful look, then made way for him.
"Alright, then let's go inside and wait for Brother Xiao."
The scholar smiled arrogantly, didn't even look at Cen Xi, and walked through the door. Once inside, he didn't stand on ceremony and went straight to the second floor, entering room number two of the "Heavenly" section. He seemed to know the rules of the Zhenxiu Restaurant very well, so he didn't ask for room number one of the "Heavenly" section directly.
Whenever Cen Xi passed by their room, she always felt that they might be up to something.
Yu Weiwei also felt that this group of people seemed to be deliberately causing trouble.
So he lowered his voice and asked Cen Xi:
"Hey, why did you let them in? Those people were obviously going to cause trouble."
"If I don't let them in, how will I know what trouble they're going to cause? If they want to cause trouble, then let them cause trouble. I'll play along. Don't worry, a lot of lice won't itch."
Cen Xi said nonchalantly.
"Alright, you're still as inexplicably confident as ever. But let me remind you, this is a feudal society, a monarchy. If you mess with the wrong people, you're finished."
Yu Weiwei rested her chin on her hands, giving Cen Xi a teasing reminder.
"Shangyang City belongs to your Jun family, and Jun Jianchou is the young master of Shangyang City. So what if I cause trouble? Besides, I am the prime minister's lover. What am I afraid of? They had better not cause trouble, or I will make sure that their family members will never be found."
Cen Xibai glanced at Yu Weiwei and said nonchalantly.
"Do you know Jun Jianchou?"
Yu Wei opened her eyes wide, as if she had been frightened.
"Yes, what's wrong? Jun Jianchou is Yu Kuang, and Yu Kuang also transmigrated. Didn't you know? You two are really destined for each other, but it's a pity it's not a romantic one. You were cousins in your past life, and you're still cousins in this life."
"You could say you're cousins, that would be nice if you could pair up."
Cen Xi looked at Yu Weiwei and complained with a look of disgust.
"Stop trying to pair me up! My god, this world is so fantastical! I thought I was the only transmigrator, but then I found out there's you and Yu Kuang too. So who's the main character here?"
Yu Weiwei rested her chin on her hand, looking at him with a teasing expression.
"With your two such good fortunes, you'll never be the main character. I'm the main character. Sigh, I've always been torn between calling you by your past life names or your present life names."
Cen raised an eyebrow smugly. She was undoubtedly the protagonist, but she had a mission. Did you have one?
"Tch, narcissistic. The past life is like yesterday, and this life has already seen countless sails. From now on, you can call me Jun Xiaoqiao. I think Yu Kuang would also prefer you to call him by his current name. By the way, what's your name in this life?"
Yu Weiwei, also known as Jun Xiaoqiao, curled her lips in disdain and then sighed in a literary manner.
"I think her name was something like Su Nianniang, or something like Nianniang, anyway I forgot. You can just call me Cen Xi from now on."
Cen Xi thought for a moment, and realized she had indeed forgotten the original name of this body.
Jun Xiaoqiao was about to make a few more jokes when suddenly, a scholar from the next room, number two of the "Heavenly" suite, shouted, knocking over all the cups, bowls, and plates, and yelling:
"This Zhenxiu Restaurant has changed owners, and it's really not good anymore. What kind of 'Hibiscus Braised Fish' is this? Are you kidding us because we've never eaten it before? Where's the waiter? Waiter, come over here and explain to us what this red and black thing is?"
"That's right, waiter, hurry up and bring it up! This is a real rip-off. We made a reservation more than a month ago, and this is what they call 'Furong Grilled Fish'? It's more like a pile of dog shit. We demand compensation, double the compensation."
As soon as the scholar finished speaking, another scholar echoed his words.
"See, I was right. Those people next door were indeed up to something. They started making a scene before we'd even had a cup of tea."
Jun Xiaoqiao pouted speechlessly and teased Cen Xi.
"I've been itching to get my hands dirty lately, let's go! Let's go next door and see what these people are up to."
Cen Xi raised an eyebrow, her face full of excitement, and rubbed her hands together.
"You look like you're going to a boxing match. Do you think those guys can take your beating?"
Jun Xiaoqiao stood up, glanced at Cen Xi with amusement, and followed her out.
"Where are they all? Are they all dead? Is this shop even going to stay open?"
Seeing that no one came in for a long time, the scholar who had spoken first roared angrily again.
"Coming, coming, sir, what has happened?"
Xiao Er had just rushed up the stairs when Cen Xi stopped him from going in.
"Go to the side and leave. I'll take care of the people inside."
"Yes, boss, that's how the braised fish with hibiscus is made. The chef can come over and explain."
The waiter explained anxiously.
"They're deliberately finding fault, it's not the food. You go and do your own thing. The new manager will be back tomorrow, and then we'll choose an auspicious day to open."
"Yes, boss."
Xiao Er glanced at Cen Xi, then at Room No. 2, and turned to go downstairs.
After Xiao Er left, Cen Xi used her palm force to push open the door of room number two in the Tianzi section.
"Gentlemen, it's fine if you smash your bowls, plates, and cups, but you can't slander our Zhenxiu Restaurant as fake. You've never seen a fish that's both black and red before. It just shows you're short-sighted, not that our Zhenxiu Restaurant's braised fish with hibiscus is inauthentic. Don't make baseless accusations. I'm not one to be trifled with. Do you want a fight or to be taken to the authorities?"
