Chapter 74: Deceiving us?
Shopkeeper Wu kept calling Mrs. Wang a "wonderful person" and made her smile from ear to ear. Who wouldn't like to hear nice words?
Shopkeeper Wu has been in the business world for so many years, and the Wu Embroidery Workshop is thriving under her management. She has a good mouth for a long time.
She used some tricks to force Fang Shangwen to divorce, and the evidence she provided was sufficient. In addition, Fang Shangwen did collude with outsiders to steal a lot of things from the embroidery workshop. The amount was huge, and both the Zhang siblings and Fang Shangwen could not escape imprisonment.
But such a thing is not glorious after all. Although she tried her best to suppress it, some people still heard the news, which had some impact on the Wu Family Embroidery Workshop.
The Wang family was a major customer of the embroidery workshop, so Manager Wu naturally wanted to please them. She subtly flattered Mrs. Wang in every way, and the two of them had a very pleasant conversation.
The more Manager Wu looked at Ji Zhisui, the more she felt that he was her lucky star.
When she was worried about the competition, Miss Ji brought Pei, who was an excellent embroidery worker, to her house. This allowed her to meet the extremely intelligent Mr. Pei and catch Fang Shangwen, the evil-minded rat.
Now she just wanted to come and show her support, and she was able to meet Mrs. Wang, which would allow her to have a stable customer base. If this isn't her lucky star, then what is?
Seeing that the two were chatting happily, Ji Zhisui was very considerate and welcomed the two "financial sponsors" to the private room upstairs.
She was very satisfied that they came to support her, and the two of them also gave her a big gift, so she must treat them well.
The band's gongs and drums were very effective, and many people gathered outside the restaurant to watch the fun. They thought that it was time for dinner, but they didn't know what to eat, so they might as well go to this newly opened restaurant to take a look.
If the taste is good, then there will be one more place to eat out. If the taste is not good, then I will not come here again. With this idea in mind, many people sat down in the restaurant.
After sitting down, they became interested when they saw the menu of Baiwei Restaurant. They had never heard of many of the names of the dishes and they found them quite novel.
They know the home-cooked dishes like sweet and sour pork, but what is Dongpo pork and what does white-cut chicken mean?
After seeing the fish soup, everyone's faces changed. How dare this restaurant serve such a cheap, unpalatable and fishy ingredient as fish?
This newly opened restaurant is full of hype, with a bunch of dish names they can't understand, and even fish. It's definitely not going to taste good. Isn't it too late for them to leave now? They shouldn't have walked into this restaurant in the first place just for the excitement and curiosity!
With this in mind, some people started to leave, thinking it would be safer to go to the restaurant they usually go to instead of trying something new.
Just then, Mao Gaoyuan came in with his family and Zhang Dahu. He had originally planned to come with his family to show his support, and meeting Zhang Dahu was purely an accident.
When the other party knew that he was going to the restaurant opened by Miss Ji, he also became interested and insisted on following him.
As soon as he entered the door, he shouted towards the counter: "Boss, serve me all the dishes in the store!"
This time he can have a good taste of Miss Ji’s cooking skills, he will definitely enjoy it to his heart’s content!
The people around him were a little surprised to see him order all the dishes with just a wave of his hand without even looking at the menu.
"Hey man, why don't you take a look at the menu? There's fish on it, and it's fishy and has a lot of bones. It's not something that tastes good." Someone kindly reminded him.
"Hey, you are wrong! When the fish is well processed, it is so delicious, melts in your mouth, it is the most delicious thing in the world!" Mao Gaoyuan also made fish soup himself later, but it was not as delicious as the one made by Miss Ji.
"Dude, you're not lying to us, are you?"
"Are you a tout hired by this restaurant?"
"That's right, whoever comes up and orders everything without even looking at the menu."
The other people present did not believe that the fish could be delicious and thought that this person must be lying.
"Hey! What do you know? You'll know when the fish soup comes! It's truly a divine treat!" Mao Gaoyuan said unconvinced after hearing so many people's objections.
Seeing him speak so seriously, everyone gave up their original intention to leave. This time they really wanted to see what the fish soup tasted like. Was it really as magical as this person said? After all, they had never seen a fish cooked so deliciously.
Mao Gaoyuan was not idle while sitting at his seat. He looked around and found that the decoration and layout of the store had not changed much, except that a small space was separated from the counter, and there seemed to be a lot of things placed in it.
What is this small counter used for?
He walked up to the front and saw several clay pots with pancakes placed beside them.
Seeing someone standing outside the small window, Mrs. Pei greeted them warmly, "Sir, would you like some burritos? Our burritos are delicious!"
Pei Ersao worked as an assistant to Sui Niang and became very familiar with making spring rolls, so Sui Niang handed the small window for selling spring rolls to her.
"Burrito? Is this a new food invented by Miss Ji? Give me ten!" Since it comes from Miss Ji's hand, the taste must be good!
Pei Ersao quickly and skillfully wrapped ten rolls and handed them to Mao Gaoyuan. Mao Gaoyuan didn't hesitate and picked up one and started eating.
The crispy and chewy outer skin, after biting it open, revealed cabbage, radish, and shredded meat. The flavor was rich and he fell in love with it immediately. His eyes lit up and he wanted to continue eating after finishing one, but he finally restrained himself.
He wanted to save room for other delicious food, but he also didn't forget to share this delicious burrito with others.
"Chef Zhang, try this wrap, it's amazing!"
Zhang Dahu looked at the square-wrapped roll. It looked plain on the surface and there was nothing special about it. But after biting it, the various flavors stimulated his taste buds. He had the same expression as Mao Gaoyuan. Miss Ji's cooking skills were really amazing, and he felt ashamed of himself.
As expected, heroes emerge from youth!
The aroma of the burritos began to spread in the hall, and the people who had originally stayed to sit and watch the show were also attracted by the aroma. Many people went to the small window to buy one to try.
The taste of the wraps conquered everyone. After eating one, they wanted another. Soon, Pei Ersao's wrap stall was very busy, and some of the customers were from the dock.
Ji Zhisui had previously told everyone that the burrito stall was located at the Baiwei Restaurant not far away. Although there was a store, the price of the burritos would not change, and many diners came to support it.
Because the wraps tasted good, some guests who only planned to watch the show ordered a few common home-cooked dishes. They didn't dare to try new foods, but they thought these common dishes should be safe.
Pei Yian was greeting guests and collecting money at the front desk, while Ji Zhisui and the Pei family were busy in the kitchen. Fortunately, many ingredients had been prepared in the morning and were available at any time.
Fish fillet and tofu soup is easy to prepare and cooks quickly. The dish is ready in no time.
