Chapter 58 What happened again?
At noon the next day, after lunch, Lin Xiaoyue left the valley with a backpack on her back. When she was almost reaching the capital, she stopped and put all the winter bamboo shoots in the space into the backpack, and then continued on her way.
At this time, in the Xiangyun Pavilion box of Jueweilou, Wang Fugui was serving the woman in front of him with a bunch of lice on his head, but he dared not say a word.
"Princess An Yi, these are truly the most popular dishes at our Juewei Restaurant. I dare not hide them!"
That’s right, this Princess An Yi is the Jingyi who went to Yangmingshan yesterday!
Jingyi was dissatisfied with everything she ate after returning home. Later, she remembered that Lin Xiaoyue had mentioned Jueweilou's new dishes, so she decided to come over and try them today. However, she didn't expect Wang Fugui to bring out the same dishes she was tired of. She immediately turned her face away!
"Shopkeeper Wang, I know your Juewei Restaurant is powerful and many people can't afford to offend you, but I, Princess Anyi, can still decide your life or death with you, a mere shopkeeper! So if you know what's good for you, quickly bring out the latest dishes, or don't blame my men for taking action!"
Wang Fugui saw that the guards around him drew their swords one after another. They looked like they were here to eat, not to eat, but to destroy his job!
He is really like a dumb person eating bitter herbs now, unable to express his pain!
There were new dishes, but because Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was so delicious, the bamboo shoots had already been cooked. They later tried making Buddha Jumps Over the Wall without the winter bamboo shoots, but the final taste was always a little off.
Originally, Wang Fugui wanted to wait for a few days. If Lin Xiaoyue still didn't send winter bamboo shoots, he would send a message by carrier pigeon. But what he never expected was that instead of winter bamboo shoots, the most unruly princess of Dongsui Kingdom came!
Wang Fugui’s face now looks even uglier than when he was crying!
Forget it. Anyway, the princess has never eaten the real Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. If there are no bamboo shoots, then so be it. It’s better than losing her head!
He gritted his teeth and said, "To be honest, Princess, we at Jueweilou do have a new product in the works, but we haven't produced the final product yet. If Princess doesn't mind, I'll have the kitchen make it right away!"
Jingyi's slender, fair fingers gently stroked the empty teacup. "Bang!" The teacup fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. "Did you see that? If you can't satisfy this princess, your fate will be the same as this teacup!"
Wang Fugui shrank back in fear, and replied with all his might, "Yes! I'll do my best!"
After walking out of Xiangyun Pavilion, Wang Fugui's forehead and back were covered in cold sweat, but he had no time to vent his dissatisfaction. He ran to the kitchen with his fat belly.
He held onto the kitchen door, panting, and shouted, "Quick, make Buddha Jumps Over the Wall! Princess An Yi wants it!"
The cooks said dejectedly, "We can make Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, but we're out of winter bamboo shoots! Boss, you'd better send someone to find Miss Mu Yao. Maybe it's still in time to send her some!"
Wang Fugui rolled his eyes. How could he not know? But no matter how fast the pigeon flew, it would not be able to quench Princess An Yi's anger!
"No, from what Miss Mu Yao said the other day, I think her home should be in Yangming Town. How long would it take to go back and forth? The winter bamboo shoots haven't been delivered yet, and the princess has already ripped off the roof of Juewei Building! Hurry and do it, don't wait for Miss Mu Yao!"
The chefs' mood instantly plummeted. As chefs of the number one restaurant in the capital, they had their own pursuits and ideals for food, and they would never allow the dishes they cooked to be imperfect in the slightest!
They were all dragging their feet and still unwilling to take action. "Boss, will you reconsider?"
Wang Fugui glared and cursed, "Think about it! If I continue to think about it, Princess Anyi will kill me!"
It was the first time the cooks saw Wang Fugui so afraid of someone. The last glimmer of hope in their hearts was completely shattered, and they replied listlessly, "Yes..."
Wang Fugui snorted heavily and asked someone to bring a chair to sit outside the kitchen. Before Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was ready, he would never go back to the Xiangyun Pavilion box. Even if Princess Anyi demolished the Xiangyun Pavilion, he would not go up to do anything!
At this time, a person walked in through the side door of Jueweilou. She saw Wang Fugui with a dark face, frowned brows, crossed his legs angrily, and leaned on the armchair, looking as if he didn't want anyone to come in!
"Hey! Who is this blind person who dares to make our shopkeeper Wang so angry? Shopkeeper Wang is so kind-hearted, I can't stand it!"
Wang Fugui thought he was so angry that he was hallucinating. He used the long nail of his little finger to pick his ear, but the familiar voice still came. Could it be that Miss Mu Yao really came?
He jumped up and ran to the side door to greet her with great joy. "Is this Miss Mu Yao? I didn't even know you were coming. Next time, send me a message and I'll send someone to pick you up!"
Lin Xiaoyue patted the basket behind her and said with a smile, "Isn't this the bamboo shoots I brought you? You don't have to be so polite to come and meet me. When we settle the bill, just let go of me, Manager Wang!"
"Miss Mu Yao is here, why don't you come and get the bamboo shoots!" Wang Fugui saw Lin Xiaoyue as if he had seen a savior, and said happily: "Miss Mu Yao, you came just in time. Now you are my savior!"
Lin Xiaoyue's eyes widened. The first time she made Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, Shopkeeper Wang wasn't that excited. Was he addicted? After handing the basket to the person who came to pick up the bamboo shoots, she pulled Wang Fugui aside and asked, "Shopkeeper Wang, are you okay? It's just a few bamboo shoots. I'll bring more next time."
Wang Fugui had a sad face and kept complaining, "Alas, Princess Anyi came to Juewei Restaurant today. We know she's picky, so we carefully prepared a large table of dishes, but she wasn't satisfied with any of them! She even threatened to kill me if I didn't come up with the latest and greatest dishes! I'm so miserable!"
It turns out the enemy is upstairs! Lin Xiaoyue touched her face, but she must not let the princess see it, otherwise she would definitely tell Brother Liang!
The most urgent thing is to take the money and leave quickly!
"Shopkeeper Wang, now that the bamboo shoots are here, you can relax! How about paying me first?"
Without a word, Wang Fugui pulled out two large silver notes from his pocket, his face flashing with a flattering smile. "Miss Mu Yao, here are twenty thousand taels of silver notes, more than enough to buy your bamboo shoots! But could you leave a little later? In case Princess Anyi isn't satisfied with Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, could you please help make a new dish? Don't worry, the new dish will be charged separately!"
Lin Xiaoyue's eyes rolled. "If you don't make money, you're a bastard!" What is there for the princess to be afraid of?
She readily agreed, "No problem! I'll wait here. Shopkeeper Wang, go get busy!"
As soon as Wang Fugui relaxed, the cold sweat on his body also stopped. He let out a long breath. Now it’s fine. As long as this Miss Mu Yao is here, there is nothing he can’t handle!
But a bruised figure suddenly entered Wang Fugui's sight. His pupils constricted. Damn, what happened again?
