Chapter 55
This matter is also related to you, Sister Xiao, and it will have an impact on you.
The farce was over quickly, and the customers were now more concerned about the fact that Xiao Yue no longer allowed that person to enter the store.
"With that kick, you won't be able to eat at Yueting Buffet anymore!"
"What were you thinking? You're covered in wounds and have no strength left, but you still want to fight. Now what?"
"If I can't eat the food here, what's the difference between that and death?"
“It’s so scary!”
Xiao Yue naturally listened to the customers' discussion, but didn't care much about it. It was normal to block someone who kicked over the food and wasted so much food.
It was not until the store was cleaned up that Xiao Yue saw Su Xiaoxiao, who was sitting restlessly.
"Xiao Xiao!"
At this time, Cheng Min's voice came from outside.
Xiao Yue looked towards the door and saw Cheng Min's hurried figure. He hadn't even changed his clothes and his hands were still bandaged.
Duan Lin came in last. As soon as he came in, he looked at Xiao Yue and asked with a smile, "Madam Xiao! I heard from Master Fu that you ate some wild mushrooms last night that were so delicious?"
"Of course, you'll know after you eat it later!"
Xiao Yue raised his eyebrows, guessing that Su Xiaoxiao and Cheng Min had something to say, so he went to prepare things for the snack and cold drink areas for tomorrow.
At the table in the corner, Su Xiaoxiao stared at Cheng Min blankly: "…Why are you fighting with him? He is just an inhuman lunatic."
"I've already beaten you."
Cheng Min looked at her as he spoke, and was relieved to see that she was fine. However, when he sat next to her, he accidentally touched her arm, making a "hiss" sound.
Su Xiaoxiao panicked: "Are you okay?"
"It's okay." Cheng Min lowered his eyes and looked at the bandage on his hand: "It's just that I can't do those things for a while. My waterwheel is still missing the last part, maybe..."
He actually wanted to say that it might be inconvenient to take care of you now.
Su Xiaoxiao lowered her head: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault."
"That's not the case!"
Seeing that she wanted to cry, Cheng Min didn't know what to say to comfort her for a moment. So many things happened today, and he had never felt so tongue-tied.
"Waterwheel?" Duan Lin, who had been listening for a while, suddenly asked, "Are you really called Cheng Min?"
Since he was standing in front of the stove, Xiao Yue heard it clearly and looked up while stirring the shaved ice.
Cheng Min looked calm and nodded in acknowledgement: "My name is Cheng Min."
He didn't answer any extra words. He turned his head and whispered something to Su Xiaoxiao. As he spoke, he couldn't help but look at Duan Lin again.
Xiao Yue raised her eyebrows. She could see that Cheng Min seemed to dislike Duan Lin a little?
But Duan Lin had no grudge against him, and they didn't have much interaction in normal times. At most, they would occasionally meet here at meals, and today he even sent him to the clinic... Why did he have such emotions?
never mind.
Xiao Yue was too lazy to think and continued to work on the task at hand.
*
You hour.
Xiao Yue placed a large table in the backyard and brought tonight's meal over.
With so many people, it’s not convenient to squeeze in the kitchen, so it’s better to go to the more spacious backyard.
"You two have injuries, one on the leg and one on the arm..."
Fang Sanhong went to invite the people in the front room to come for dinner, and at the same time, she supported Su Xiaoxiao instead of Cheng Min.
Everyone went to the backyard and sat down.
"Eat it quickly and see how it tastes!"
Xiao Yue put down the water in his hand and sat next to Su Xiaoxiao, with Fu Xunzhou on his right.
Looking at the table again, there is a pot of morel soup in the middle, and two plates of stir-fried green vegetables are placed on both sides for easy picking. Next to them are blanched prawns, sweet and sour pork, and cold shredded chicken...
The table is filled with delicious dishes that make your mouth water just by looking at them.
Xiao Yue spoke, and everyone naturally became polite.
Duan Lin, in particular, had been extremely busy these past few days. Unexpectedly, he received a summons from Fu Xunzhou, saying that Madam Xiao wanted him to try the dishes made with the new ingredients in the restaurant.
Duan Lin was so surprised that he didn't notice his master's cold expression for a moment.
At this moment, Duan Lin was eating even more happily. The deliciousness of the stir-fried wild mushrooms made people want to swallow their tongue together. The wild mushroom soup was a collection of the essence of the sun and the moon, and it was so delicious and fragrant that it made people intoxicated!
The meal was very satisfying to everyone present.
Xiao Yue wanted to make Su Xiaoxiao happier, so one of the dishes, "Sweet and Sour Pork in Tomato Sauce", was specially made for her.
Su Xiaoxiao talked more at the dinner table, but after three rounds of meal, she looked at Xiao Yue frequently.
"What do you want to say?" Xiao Yue noticed and guessed that she wanted to talk about what happened during the day, so he said carefully: "If it's inconvenient, why don't you go to my room?"
Su Xiaoxiao shook her head: "It's nothing. Anyway, it will spread anyway. People will say that I am the eldest daughter of the Su family and I am unworthy of the marriage and ran away from home..."
"Su family?" Fang Sanhong asked in surprise, then suddenly realized.
Combined with what Su Xiaoxiao said, the famous Su family in this city is not the only one that is the richest in Liuyun City?
Fu Xunzhou's expression remained unchanged as he continued to drink the soup in his hand - Xiao Yue reminded him to drink more.
Duan Lin, who was standing aside, had a curious look on his face, his eyes wandering between Su Xiaoxiao and Cheng Min.
Xiao Yue didn't pay attention to the two people, and said thoughtfully: "So the person in Bai Ri is the one you want to marry?"
What Su Xiaoxiao said this morning, “They forced me to do things I didn’t like,” must be this.
Therefore, she was unhappy. Most likely, she ran away from home after a quarrel. As a result, she sprained her ankle and encountered a marriage partner who spoke rudely to her...
Xiao Yue frowned, only to see Su Xiaoxiao nod and then quickly shake her head.
"I never agreed to it. They just acted on their own initiative and asked me to do something I didn't like for the sake of their so-called business. My grandfather would never do this before..."
Su Xiaoxiao sniffed, then looked up at Xiao Yue: "But this matter is also related to you, Sister Xiao, and it will have an impact on you!"
What?
Xiao Yue looked puzzled.
Fu Xunzhou on the side paused and looked over.
Su Xiaoxiao was furious: "Before I left, I overheard that my grandfather and the Si family were going to open a store together on West Street. I didn't think much about it at first, but today I saw Si Pu copying your cooking here. What do they mean!"
It is normal for the two wealthy businessmen in Liuyun City to cooperate for mutual benefit because they want to open a food store. It is also normal to use their daughter's marriage to consolidate the relationship.
Originally, Su Xiaoxiao thought that this matter would not have any impact and she would definitely resist to the end, but she met Si Pu who came to copy the Yueting buffet menu!
What's the meaning?
Xiao Yue understood immediately. What he meant was that the dishes that Si Pu had memorized, and even read them several times and recorded the details, were all preparations for opening a store later.
Su Xiaoxiao: "Si Pu is always outshined by his elder brother. After all, Shixianglou is indeed well-known in South Street and has attracted many big customers. His father thinks highly of him. I heard that Si Pu has been studying cooking for a long time, and this time he will definitely be the chef and manager of the restaurant himself!"
Shixianglou?
Xiao Yue felt it sounded familiar and after thinking for a while he remembered it.
This is not...
She and Fang Sanhong looked at each other and saw the words on each other's faces - the one that the customers mentioned as expensive and unpalatable?
However, Su Xiaoxiao said "attracting big customers", which means that there are people who will pay for it even if it is expensive, and Si Pu will definitely not follow his elder brother's way when he comes to West Street this time.
Then the affordable route is the route that is most in line with the trend of West Street nowadays. Si Pu sells most likely the dishes of Yueting Buffet, which has a certain customer base.
Originally, Yue Ting opened the back kitchen window by herself, which meant that Xiao Yue didn't care about these things, but now Si Pu is so purposeful that he even delayed other people's marriages for this...
For a moment, the people in the yard had different expressions.
Cheng Min sneered and commented: "There is no normal person in the Si family."
Su Xiaoxiao nodded.
Duan Lin looked disdainful: "Does this mean you think you are upright?"
Su Xiaoxiao nodded frantically.
"But..." Fang Sanhong thought about it: "No matter how cheap he sells it, it can't be as cheap as Yueting's. If customers know what he does, they won't buy it, right?"
Fu Xunzhou said nothing and looked at Xiao Yue.
"Not necessarily." Xiao Yue looked calm, without any anger: "Stores can't control customers. It's true that Yueting has loyal customers, but in the end, where to eat is a free choice. Similarly, I have no comment on Si Pu's actions."
Copy it and sell it.
Xiao Yue didn't think there was anything wrong with the way this matter was handled, but he was disdainful of Si Pu's character.
All she could say was... wish him success.
Of course, several people in the courtyard were really indignant for her. Xiao Yue was quite touched and didn't want them to continue to be angry about this.
"No one can stop the Su and Si families from opening a store on West Street. Yueting's self-service model is open and transparent, so there is nothing wrong with imitation. Don't be too angry, relax. Don't you still believe me? Yueting's real good stuff hasn't been put on display yet."
Not only are unlimited ingredients a guarantee for Xiao Yue, but the various food recipes she learned before traveling through time are also her confidence.
"Besides, our summer series has just begun." Xiao Yue watched the indignation of several people gradually dissipate, and smiled: "What are you afraid of?"
Yes, what are you afraid of?
The dissatisfaction in Fang Sanhong's eyes disappeared. She had watched how Yueting opened its self-service store.
From just a few dozen people on the first day to the packed queue now, because the restaurant only adds three dishes, later customers can only look forward to the next day.
Su Xiaoxiao and Cheng Min looked at each other. The latter was immediately relieved and even admired him silently from the bottom of her heart. The uneasiness and guilt in the former's eyes also disappeared.
After all, she is one of the parties involved, and the Su family is related to her, so she will become a competitor with Yueting Zizhu in the future...
fortunately.
Su Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief and a smile reappeared on her face.
Fu Xunzhou, who was standing by, put down his bowl of soup and did not express any opinion from beginning to end.
Previously, he would have thought that because Xiao Yue was so generous, the man was just taking this opportunity to record the dishes out of fear, which was actually despicable.
But now...
Fu Xunzhou looked at Xiao Yue and felt that she possessed convincing courage.
Since she was not worried or afraid, he naturally trusted her unconditionally.
Seeing that everyone's emotions had stabilized, Xiao Yue asked them to continue eating and asked, "By the way, Xiao Xiao said that Cheng Min went to see a house for you this morning. Did you find one? What are your plans for the future?"
She felt that the little girl was not willful. As she herself said, she would be able to make her own decisions when she grew up.
This time, Cheng Min answered first: "I looked around and felt that it was really unsuitable. Either the neighbors were noisy or the house was too small. Neither was suitable..."
