Chapter 74: A face full of grievance
"What's the matter?"
"Well, you first..."
Su Yujin whispered for a while.
Wu Jiantong nodded repeatedly, "I understand. I'll go right away."
After saying this, he led a few waiters who were not too busy at the moment, asked them to hand over the work in their hands to others, and hurried out of the door of the guest house.
Su Yujin led the waiter to the private room where the customer who ordered 300 dishes of Mapo Tofu was.
Because this person was cunning and troublesome, the waiter did not dare to neglect him and served him the best tea and appetizers before he even ordered.
The man was tall, with a beard and a face full of flesh. There was an obvious scar from the left corner of his mouth to his chin, as if it was caused by a sharp weapon. It looked very scary.
"Have you ordered this dish?" The man crossed his legs and threw the chopsticks that had been holding the preserved egg into the plate. "I'm still waiting to eat. I'm almost starving."
"I am the owner of this guest house. My surname is Su. May I know your name?" Su Yujin bowed and asked with a smile.
"Liu Wuwan." Liu Wuwan glanced at Su Yujin and was delighted to see her fresh and beautiful face. His impatient expression suddenly softened and he even wanted to smile.
But then he thought about how he was doing things for other people and he straightened his face again, "The owner of this restaurant that does so much business is actually a delicate girl?"
"It's useless even if it's just a girl's. I came to Huibinlou to eat Mapo Tofu. If you don't sell me 300 servings of Mapo Tofu, no matter who comes to intercede, it will be useless. I really want this Mapo Tofu today!"
"Of course." Su Yujin said with a smile, "Huibinlou is a restaurant, so we are open for business. And this Mapo Tofu is a dish that is displayed on the signboard. How can we not do business?"
"It's just that you ordered so much mapo tofu, a huge amount. You are a big customer of Huibinlou, so naturally we have to treat you differently than those who only ordered one or two dishes. We must make sure that you eat comfortably and to your satisfaction."
Liu Wuwan scratched his head when he heard this.
This seems to be different from the reaction I imagined.
If ordinary people saw someone ordering 300 dishes at once, and it was obvious that this person was there to cause trouble, they would definitely look at him coldly and would want to kick him out immediately. Even if the person greeted them with a smile, they would still ask him to leave in some way, either overtly or covertly.
Why did Miss Su seem to want him to eat well? Liu Wuwan looked at the smile on Su Yujin's face and was unsure of what she was going to do.
But then again, it didn't matter what she did, as long as he did what that person wanted and did his best.
Liu Wuwan raised his chin and asked, "I wonder what Miss Su means by eating comfortably and satisfyingly?"
"Since you are the guest who ordered 300 dishes at once, we naturally have to follow your wishes. As for Mapo Tofu, it should be spicy, hot and numbing. Although the hot taste comes after the spicy and numbing, it is very important."
Su Yujin smiled and said, "To put it bluntly, this dish should be eaten while it is hot. It tastes best. Since you came to Huibinlou because you like to eat Mapo Tofu and you ordered so much, Huibinlou must let you eat it while it is hot."
"So for this dish, we should follow the advice of our restaurant. It is best to serve a new plate after finishing one. If we serve them one by one, each plate will be hot and the taste will be kept at its best. What do you think?"
"Isn't it too slow to serve them one plate at a time?" Liu Wu was not happy.
Especially since the other party said that he had to finish one plate before another one could be served. So how many plates could he eat?
Absolutely not.
"Then, serve two plates at a time?" Su Yujin said.
"No, let's go together!" Liu Wuwan said.
"That's fine." Su Yujin nodded. "If the guest is willing, it's not impossible. However, as you can see from the size of this private room, it's not very big. Even if the table is full, if we count the plates of Mapo Tofu, at most we can put more than ten dishes on it. There really won't be room for more."
"After all, it's people who are eating. There's no point in putting the dishes on the floor. Let's just fill the table. Remove one plate and then serve the next one. That should be fine, right?"
"Serve the food first. I'll eat while you guys cook. By the time I'm done, you guys have to make this Mapo Tofu." Liu Wuwan said, "Did you hear me clearly?"
If you want to delay time with him by serving food, forget it!
Three hundred dishes of Mapo Tofu, not one less! "Yes, I heard it clearly." Su Yujin said with a smile, "After talking about the hotness of Mapo Tofu, let's talk about the numbness. The numbness of Mapo Tofu comes from pepper. The amount of pepper is the key to the taste. You ordered three hundred dishes of Mapo Tofu. If the amount of pepper is the same, you won't be able to taste the difference. It's better to put different amounts so that the taste can be different when you eat it."
"How spicy would you like these 300 dishes of Mapo Tofu to be? 100%, 80%, 60% spicy?"
“Just cook it like any other dish and it will be spicy.” Liu Wuwan said.
"Okay." Su Yujin nodded. "What about the spiciness? There are different levels of spiciness. Would you like it 10 points, 8 points, 6 points, or 4 points spicy?"
"Just make it as spicy as normal."
"Okay." Su Yujin nodded again. "The essence of Mapo Tofu is the meat sauce. Do you want more, less, lighter, or lighter meat sauce?"
Liu Wuwan, "..."
He finally realized that this Su guy was making trouble here!
"Stop, stop, stop talking. Just make this dish the way you normally make it. Just make it the way you normally make it!"
Liu Wuwan snorted, "Are you trying to stall for time, or are you trying to make things difficult for me in disguise?"
"That's not true." Su Yujin still smiled. "As the saying goes, ask clearly beforehand and take responsibility afterwards. Since you are a distinguished guest of our hotel, I naturally have to ask clearly about everything and fully meet your requirements to satisfy you, right?"
"Believe it or not, I'm going to go out and shout that you guys are being difficult to me and won't sell me vegetables?" Liu Wuwan shouted, "Hurry up and cook the vegetables. Otherwise, be careful or I'll take you to see the officials!"
"If that is the case, then I feel really sorry for our guest house."
Su Yujin's face was full of grievance. "After all, you ordered 300 dishes of Mapo Tofu at once. This is an unprecedented big deal. We treated it carefully and asked clearly, so it's not wrong. How can it be regarded as us not wanting to sell vegetables to you?"
There will be a third update today, a little later~ (End of this chapter)
