Chapter 114
Until closing time, Yueting Buffet was filled with a lingering spicy smell, comparable to another...
Until closing time, Yueting Buffet was filled with a lingering spicy aroma, like another kind of "snail rice noodle."
After Xiao Yue cleaned up the dishes, he sprayed the first floor, second floor and yard with kitchen cleaner.
A light smell spread in the air, driving away the strong smell of spicy crayfish.
Now Xiao Yue is too lazy to hide too much, and many kitchen-related convenience items will be exchanged for use.
No one would ask questions to get to the bottom of it, at most they would just ask out of curiosity, and she would just give a casual explanation and no one would ask any more questions.
"Xiao Yue."
At this time, Fu Xunzhou's voice came from the back door on the first floor.
Xiao Yue paused, put away the kitchen freshener, and walked to the backyard while saying to him: "You and Cheng Min have been busy for most of the day, why don't you take a break first?"
Fu Xunzhou, who was about to say something, stopped talking, replied "OK", and followed her back to the backyard.
After that, Xiao Yue was busy making inventory, and Fu Xunzhou didn't want to disturb him, so he didn't have a chance to talk to her alone.
Later Xiao Lian came.
Xiao Yue called her: "Xiao Lian, stay and eat spicy crayfish together later!"
"May I?"
"sure!"
Xiao Lian scratched her head and smiled: "I can smell it from across the street. I have almost finished cleaning up today and will be able to open tomorrow!"
She originally came to tell her sisters that the store had been cleaned up today and "Xiao Lian Tang Shui" would be open tomorrow, but she didn't expect to be invited to stay for a meal.
Xiao Lian felt embarrassed. She turned her eyes and saw the man whose name she only knew the night before.
That is to say, when he caught the bucket of water at the Linxiping ramp, he saved Sister Xiao and indirectly saved his own people...
At this moment, Fu Xunzhou came to Xiao Yue's side and asked her if she had anything else to do.
Xiao Yue said, "No more for now, I'll go cook first. By the way, Xiao Lian, we'll give you some opening gifts tomorrow, don't hesitate!"
Xiao Lian felt even more embarrassed, and nodded in agreement, feeling that the other person cared about her like her own sister.
But later, Xiao Lian saw Fu Xunzhou follow Sister Xiao into the kitchen, and their conversation was vague.
"You go and rest, I can do it myself."
"It's okay. I'm not tired."
“Really not necessary!”
“What should I do with this dish?”
“…”
After that I couldn't hear clearly.
Xiao Lian tilted her head, feeling that Sister Xiao had been frank with him last time, but why was she so…
Before Xiao Lian could figure it out, Su Xiaoxiao called her to eat, and she quickly responded.
“Here I come!”
Half an hour later.
A large bowl of spicy crayfish was placed in the middle of the table, and many people in the yard began to drool.
Xiao Yue and her friends had a simple meal last night, but no one would refuse a second meal of the delicious spicy crayfish.
Start showing off!
Xiao Lian also peeled her first crayfish under Hua Jinjin's guidance. The moment she took a bite, she almost cried.
This is so delicious!
This is the most delicious thing she has ever eaten in her life!
No, there is also the golden soup Buddha jumping over the wall from the night before, and the braised food, and the chocolate ice cream, and the spicy strips, and...
Fu Xunzhou took a look at the paper today and learned how to peel crayfish quite quickly.
He ate some and peeled the rest and put it on a plate.
The beer Xiao Yue drank tonight was a perfect match with the crayfish. His face turned a little red, but he still wanted to toast with Fang Sanhong.
"Xiao Yue."
The next moment, a pair of beautiful hands slid over to her table and handed her a plate filled with peeled crayfish.
Xiao Yue looked for a few seconds, then turned to meet Fu Xunzhou's eyes.
"I peeled it for you."
"…Thank you."
Fu Xunzhou tilted his head, seeming a little confused about these two words.
He was about to say something when he noticed Xiao Yue's red cheeks and ears, and a faint smell of malt liquor on her body.
Fu Xunzhou was helpless: "Let's eat crayfish first, do you want another plate?"
"Burp... Yes, no, no more!" Xiao Yue burped, almost missing the word "no", and waved his hands quickly.
Fu Xunzhou chuckled.
The person sighing the most at the entire dinner table was Xu Qingwu, or to be more precise, the little orange child in her arms.
Four pairs of eyes, one big and one small, watched a group of adults eating crayfish, each one more excited than the other.
"Hey, Xiaoju, I tried the ones that were rinsed with water for you, but they were still too spicy. We can't eat them."
“Meow…”
Xiaoju flicked his tail.
And its owner, Mr. Xiao, stopped drinking and just ate.
Fang Sanhong's eyes moved back and forth between her and Fu Xunzhou, and she let out a light sigh.
——
the next day.
If there is any food that becomes popular in other stores, most of the time the discussion will inevitably be in the entertainment activities when night falls.
Yueting Buffet is different in that it closes early, so there is more time for gossip and discussion to spread.
For example, the spicy crayfish did not take Liuyun City by storm overnight, but rather one night plus an afternoon.
This resulted in Yueting Buffet being even more crowded the next day, with customers rushing in like water.
Even if most people are not new customers, they still come to take a look - this snack will be added to the flavor series in two days and can still be tasted by everyone.
Xiao Yue and her friends delivered things to Xiao Lian's dessert shop early in the morning. That was the only time they had some relaxation.
Because after that... I didn't stop.
Noon time.
Xiao Yue looked at the countless people in the store, and the sense of urgency of having only a small courtyard but so many people that they had to eat while standing jumped into his brows.
Looks like it's time again.
Xiao Yue had an idea in mind, so he prepared the spicy crayfish for the second time and quickly sent it to the first floor.
After adding it, there was just enough for one more plate.
Sun Wen was busy here, so Xiao Yue brought the food out and prepared to deliver it to other tables for new customers.
There happened to be a man walking around in the crowd with food in his hand. He seemed very confused, but his eyes lit up when he saw Xiao Yue and her apron.
"Um, you are Madam Xiao, right? I'm a new customer. I just paid fifty copper coins. Now other dishes have been served. Can I still get the spicy crayfish?"
This question made Xiao Yue laugh, and he answered patiently: "Of course, our store's two limited-edition dishes are only for new customers. As long as you enter the store, you can get a free dish!"
This is what Fu Xunzhou heard when he passed by with the collected dishes.
Fu Xunzhou: “……?”
That’s not all—
Xiao Yue: "I happen to have a portion of spicy crayfish here. Can I bring it to your table?"
"Thank you very much, Madam Xiao!" The man holding the tray was pleasantly surprised: "Your business is really good. I was thinking of waiting for the brother who collected the bowls to finish his work before asking! It turns out that I can still get some. This is great. I am so greedy for the taste!"
Xiao Yue looked at the food on his tray and said with a smile, "You're welcome. It's nothing. I see that you have a strong taste. I think you will like this spicy crayfish very much."
Afterwards, Xiao Yue followed the man to find an empty seat and put down the plate of spicy crayfish.
When she turned around, she saw Fu Xunzhou standing still behind her.
Xiao Yue asked: "What's wrong?"
"Nothing..." Fu Xunzhou not only stood still, but his whole body was frozen, and he could hardly make a sound. His Adam's apple rolled for a while before he continued, "It's okay."
Xiao Yue nodded, and before going upstairs to clean up, she reminded him, "If you are too tired, take a rest."
After she finished speaking, she realized that Fu Xunzhou's physical strength was not as poor as she had previously thought.
Xiao Yue coughed lightly and continued to go upstairs.
After a while, Fu Xunzhou withdrew his gaze and felt his fingers going numb. He didn't even know how to get back to the backyard.
It was not until he put the dishes into the wooden dishwasher that Fu Xunzhou came to his senses, but his mind was still in a daze.
What did he just hear?
Two events...
Every new customer has...
I'll give you a copy...
Memories that weren't too far away suddenly came back to me, and the things that had been wrong all along, the strangeness that had happened recently, the subtlety that had started yesterday's activities... all had explanations.
The clouds and mist parted, and Fu Xunzhou understood everything completely.
Even the words I said back then seem to be relevant today.
Not only those few sentences just now, but also——
What is this...
It depends on your taste...
You’ll love this dish…
Fu Xunzhou closed his eyes and supported his hands on the dishwasher. Feeling the slight vibration under his palms, his ears turned red and even seemed to spread throughout his body.
…
Xiao Yue felt that the store improvements needed to be followed up in the next few days, so he decided to discuss it with Fang Sanhong and others after dinner.
However, after cooking, Xiao Yue looked around and found that one person was missing.
"Where are the people?"
"Who?" Fang Sanhong came over with a glass of water, and it was obvious that she was asking a question she already knew the answer to.
Xiao Yue: "...Where's Fu Xunzhou?"
Fang Sanhong said "Oh" and said calmly: "He said he had something to do and went back first."
"He went back?" Xiao Yue was puzzled: "He doesn't want to eat?"
Fang Sanhong shrugged: "Pack up and go back. It seems that the matter is quite urgent."
"Okay." Xiao Yue walked towards the dining table: "Let's eat, I'm starving."
Fang Sanhong followed and whispered, "What's wrong with you two recently? Why are you hiding from him?"
"I'm hiding from him?!" Xiao Yue stopped and turned back in disbelief.
Everyone around, look over here.
Xiao Yue lowered her voice and coughed softly: "How can I hide? There's nothing wrong between us. Aren't we busy with the new activities?"
Fang Sanhong let out an elongated “Oh” and walked forward without looking back.
"Okay, then you two continue, I'll take a look."
Xiao Yue: “…”
What?
Xiao Yue: “?”
What!
Continue what!
What are you looking at!
Lu Ran at the side sighed, Sun Wen also sighed, Su Xiaoxiao followed suit, and then continued speaking in a low voice.
"Really? Brother Fu was all red at that time. Was it that hot in our store?"
Sun Wen: "Is it possible that it's not hot?"
"What is that?"
"Could it be because of shyness?"
Su Xiaoxiao: "Why are you shy? Did Sister Xiao say something unprecedented? Are you two going to take things a step further?"
Lu Ran: “…”
These two are also unreliable.
Madam Xiao has gone one step further now. She must have noticed something.
As for the son...
Well, I'll go ask Duan Lin later.
