Chapter 6
Fu Xunzhou remained silent. Did he eat rat poison?
Xiao Yue stood there for a long time, then realized that he was helpless and speechless.
Forget it, I’m hungry and tired.
Xiao Yue filled his plate with rice again, picked up a few pieces of cold-mixed boneless chicken feet, and then returned to the stone bench to sit down and enjoy his first proper meal since traveling to this world.
The first bite, of course, is the cold-boiled boneless chicken feet that I worked on until dark.
The chicken feet are boneless, with skin and tendons soaked in spicy and sour sauce. The first bite is full of plump and chewy meat, which is chewy and satisfying.
Xiao Yue ate two bowls of rice with it before he felt full, and then he also finished the fried potatoes and stir-fried cabbage.
She rubbed her stomach and sat on a stone bench with a contented look on her face, enjoying the breeze to help digest her food. She got up to clean up only when she felt the cold.
What a wonderful day!
After closing the restaurant's door, Xiao Yue boiled some water and took a shower in the yard. Then he returned to his room, lay down refreshed, and summoned out the system panel.
The light filled with electronic technology shone on Xiao Yue's face. She raised her eyes and saw the remaining points: 2800.
The buffet costs 100 points per person, and you can tell at a glance how many people came today.
Xiao Yue clicked on the kitchenware section and found that the dishwasher she had been dreaming about was a short distance away...
A full seven hundred!
She suddenly relaxed and clicked on the ingredients section.
As a new store, there are still many imperfections today, such as tea and drinks.
How can a restaurant not have these basic things?
Thanks to Xiao Yue's good cooking skills, the food he made suited many people's appetites. In addition, the buffet model was novel, so everyone ate their fill and no one asked too many questions.
Otherwise, I’m afraid I’ll fail on the first day!
But who can blame me for having so few initial points that they are gone after I redeem the ingredients?
Xiao Yue complained a little about the system in his mind and clicked to go to the beverage area of the mall.
After earning points, of course you have to buy drinks right away, and tea is a must-have to relieve the greasiness of home-cooked meals.
There are many types of tea, including green tea, black tea, dark tea, oolong tea...
Xiao Yue glanced at them one by one and found that they were all exchanged for 800 points. After thinking about it for a while, he chose Pu'er tea which can help digestion.
Now that we have the first type of drinking water, we still have to cater to customers who don’t like tea, so we can add a sour plum soup that is suitable for all ages.
Xiao Yue searched for a while and found the sour plum soup package. The system also provided a humanized solution that could be freely matched, but the price was…*…
700.
Xiao Yue: “…”
Getting further and further away from the dishwasher.
Xiao Yue wiped his face, and finally bought it for the sake of long-term development, and rearranged the accessories.
Black plum, tangerine peel, mulberry, hawthorn, licorice, roselle, etc. are combined into a large spice package with a large portion.
Now that he had found two kinds of drinks, Xiao Yue felt relieved and continued to stroll around the mall.
Whenever she saw an ingredient, various ways of cooking it emerged in her mind, and she got excited every time she saw it.
After browsing the food mall, Xiao Yue went to the kitchenware mall, where there were also many categories of items...
After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Yue felt an uncontrollable soreness in her eyelids. She yawned, turned over, wrapped herself in the newly bought quilt, and fell into a deep sleep.
——
It's late at night and the moon is rising above the branches.
In a huge mansion in Liuyun City, the lights are brightly on at this moment.
Especially outside the door of the most luxurious master bedroom, the maids and servants were waiting nervously, not daring to relax for a moment.
"Sir, how are you?"
I only heard an anxious question faintly coming from the room, but the next second, it was covered by a dull retching sound.
In the room, Fu Xunzhou was lying on his side on the edge of the couch in a half-curled position.
His brows were furrowed and sweat was beading on his forehead. He supported himself on the bed with one hand and tightly covered his stomach with the other hand, using so much force that his knuckles turned white.
Before he could recover, his stomach churned again. Fu Xunzhou's face suddenly turned pale and he vomited again under the couch.
However, he had already vomited out everything in his stomach, so no matter how uncomfortable he felt at this moment, he could only dry heave.
"Young Master!"
On one side of the couch, his subordinate A Lin looked concerned and flustered, and quickly reached out to pat him on the back.
After a while, Fu Xunzhou lay back on the couch exhausted. His breathing became heavy, his sweaty black hair stuck to his neck, and he looked like he had been fished out of the water.
Despite this, the man's face was still clearly handsome, except for his deep eyebrows and eyes which were filled with gloom.
"Young Master, what's going on?" Seeing this, A Lin's expression became more serious and he asked again.
Ever since they came to Liuyun City, the young master has been strictly controlling his diet. How could his illness suddenly become more serious?
Fu Xunzhou remained silent, his eyelids drooped as if he was lost in thought.
Today he was supposed to attend the 60th birthday dinner of Mr. Su, but he left alone just after the banquet was halfway through.
Unexpectedly, Fu Xunzhou fainted after not eating much for a day. When he woke up, he was in a small courtyard and was attracted by the fragrance of two bowls of food on the table...
Nowadays, few foods can arouse Fu Xunzhou's appetite. He couldn't help but eat them even though the dishes were obviously spicy.
After eating, I felt an uncontrollable burning pain in my stomach and felt nauseous and wanted to vomit.
Fu Xunzhou walked a little further away to the riverside, originally intending to calm down after his embarrassing behavior and then go and apologize to the host whose food had been eaten.
Unexpectedly, A Lin came over at that time, and Fu Xunzhou's stomach discomfort had not been relieved for a long time, so he was taken directly back to the mansion.
While on the road, Fu Xunzhou's symptoms got out of control. Not only did he vomit all over the place, but his body temperature also became abnormal.
Needless to say, the reason why his body suddenly became like this was because of those two bowls of food...
Fu Xunzhou came back to his senses, looked at Ah Lin's anxious look, and said in a deep voice: "I ate something at Yanting Bridge on West Street."
"What!" Ah Lin suddenly raised his voice: "You ate outside?!"
Fu Xunzhou remained calm, and suddenly found that his stomach felt much better when he thought about the food he had eaten tonight.
His eyes moved slightly, ignoring Ah Lin's reaction, and his voice was low but unquestionable: "Go and ask around tomorrow. The owner of the house is a woman wearing light-colored clothes."
When he woke up, Fu Xunzhou's consciousness was still confused, and he only saw a faint figure in his eyes.
Ah Lin was completely dumbfounded.
He knew that the young master always liked quietness and was impatient to deal with those occasions, and it was common for him to leave the banquet halfway through.
But today, when Alin went to find the young master as usual, the situation still made him break out in a cold sweat.
A Lin was guessing the whole night, and even thought that the Su family might have done something wrong, so he thought about going there overnight to find out the truth.
Who would have known that it was the young master himself who suffered this fate because he ate the "unclean" things made by outsiders?
But the situation is so serious nowadays, is it really as simple as just that the food is “unclean”?
Ah Lin calmed down and asked tentatively: "Sir, you can ask me, but you have to tell me what you ate, right? If it was just an ordinary meal, even if it is not as clean and exquisite as the one in the mansion, it should not be so serious for you. Did you eat..."
Fu Xunzhou raised his eyelids.
Ah Lin continued under pressure, "Sir, I heard that there are rats in the city recently, and everyone is using medicine powder mixed with rotten food to feed these things. You are not..."
Did you accidentally eat rat poison?
A Lin didn't dare to say this.
But how could Fu Xunzhou not make the connection? For a moment, he looked at him as if he were a fool and sneered, "I can tell the difference between sour and spicy..."
He paused in the middle of his words.
But it was too late. Ah Lin, who risked his life to get the information out, couldn't believe it and condemned on the spot: "Did you really eat spicy food?!"
Fu Xunzhou: “…”?
Fu Xunzhou, who wanted to wait until tomorrow to hear his nagging, looked wooden and said in a calm tone, "Is it not possible to eat something that makes me hungry?"
Justified!
Ah Lin almost fainted when he heard this. He was about to say that his body couldn't stand the spicy food, but he caught sight of the three words "appetizing" and was stunned.
Fu Xunzhou turned over on the couch and said in a cold tone: "The food made in the mansion is so bland that even monks would complain about its taste."
Ah Lin came back to his senses and was about to explain, but he heard him say something indifferently -
"You said there were rats in the city. I allowed you to go and get rid of them for the people. You can come back when you have caught all the rats."
Ah Lin: “???”
Ah Lin: "No, sir, that's not what I meant!"
Fu Xunzhou turned a deaf ear.
He closed his eyes, thinking of the fragrant rice and the sour and spicy meat. When he was about to fall asleep, the light-colored slender figure still appeared in his mind...
——
It's a little chilly in the morning, birds are singing on the branches, and the aroma of breakfast food wafts through the street.
A light blue figure walked into the backyard of the Yanting Bridge Restaurant on West Street, yawning in one hand and holding a scale in the other.
This person was naturally Xiao Yue. When he got up early to clean the kitchen, he finally found that something was missing, that is, a weighing scale.
You have to be prepared for this thing. After all, Xiao Yue can measure the approximate weight with his hands, but customers may not believe it. That's why he went out specially to buy it.
In addition, Xiao Yue has a lot of things to prepare today, and the first thing he needs is a hanging sign.
She had already thought of the name of the store, which was called "Yueting Buffet", which was the name of the buffet restaurant she owned in the modern world before she traveled through time.
The sign needs to be hung on the door lintel, and the font cannot be small. Oh, and two boards are also needed to write the dining rules and menu.
The piece of food Xiao Yue found yesterday was actually not very big. In the rush, the dining rules and menu were mixed together, making it look messy.
Fortunately, Xiao Yue went to the supplies section of the mall last night and found the black and white boards and erasable pens commonly seen at the entrance of restaurants, and the size can be adjusted at will.
Just right for use!
Although it seems a bit informal to use it to write the store name, if you change your mindset, the variety of pens available could be an alternative attraction, right?
And the redemption points are only 100.
Xiao Yue discovered that the most expensive items in this system mall are kitchen utensils, followed by ingredients and seasonings. They are so cheap that she doesn't feel bad about spending her points.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yue exchanged the black and white board.
A blackboard for writing the name of the restaurant "Yueting Buffet"; two whiteboards, one for writing the dining rules and the other for writing today's menu later.
After finishing all the tinkering, Xiao Yue went to the front yard to put them away, and then went straight back to the kitchen to prepare the dishes.
Before that, she found the cloth she bought yesterday, did some simple cutting and sewing, and made an apron to wear to avoid getting it stained with oil.
Xiao Yue also combed his hair neatly and fixed it with a newly bought hairpin, revealing his full forehead and heroic eyebrows. He looked dashing and neat.
