Chapter 38 I’m afraid I’ll die if I go to Zhenxing Building!
The waiter straightened up, shrugged his shoulders, squinted his eyes with a forced smile, and seemed to be talking sarcastically to himself.
"Eating in your own restaurant, and the food isn't good, it's hilarious..."
"What did you say?" Shopkeeper Qi took a deep breath, his chest puffing out, and he was as angry as a hedgehog. "Are Shopkeeper Fang's subordinates so rude? It really makes me look at them with disrespect."
The door opened.
Mrs. Fang glanced at the waiter and motioned him to go down, she said sarcastically.
"No matter how rude the people in our restaurant are, they are not as bad as Shopkeeper Qi who barges into other people's places."
"Mrs. Fang, I have something to talk to Jiusu about. Please be flexible." Shopkeeper Qi had a tough attitude, with his hands behind his back, looking down on everything.
Madam Fang said with a smile, "Shopkeeper Qi, you should beg for help in a proper way. Miss Jiu and I are having tea, and it's not appropriate for a grown man like you to go in. If you don't leave now, don't blame me for breaking the last bit of friendship between you and my old Fang."
Shopkeeper Qi's face darkened.
He said, "Whatever."
For the sake of the shop and the cooperation, he shamelessly ignored Mrs. Fang and strode into the house. When he met Jiusu's playful eyes, he didn't know what to do with his gloomy face.
Mrs. Fang sat down with a smile, she was not shy at all.
"Master, I'm sorry, this guy is so shameless that I can't stop him."
"Manager Qi, long time no see. I hope you are well." Manager Fang signaled his wife to be patient and he stood up, but Manager Qi ignored him. He did not want to make things awkward and sat down quietly.
After a few days of observation.
Jiusu has indeed never been to Fangxinglou.
Shopkeeper Qi demanded, "I respect you, Miss Jiu, but why did you deceive me with fake recipes? My customers all said it wasn't tasty! They all asked for my money back. I've been losing money these past few days. You must give me an explanation."
"It's not tasty, maybe it's because my cooking skills are not good enough. I'm not your father. I'm responsible for you and I have to give you instructions." Jiusu turned the teacup on the table, glanced at Shopkeeper Qi, and shook his head helplessly.
How funny! They force people to give recipes and then ask for after-sales service?
Do you really think she's a soft persimmon? You can just squeeze her?
Shopkeeper Qi refused to give in. "You are lying. I will report you to the county magistrate immediately and accuse you of deceiving your superiors. Not only will the divorce be cancelled, but your life will also be in jeopardy."
"How about this." Jiusu held Madam Fang's hand and shook his head to indicate not to worry. "Manager Fang, can I borrow the kitchen here?"
Shopkeeper Fang understood instantly and looked at the rude man unhappily.
"Of course, the kitchen supplies are all ready. Miss Jiu, teach this rude and unreasonable guy a lesson!"
Everyone moved to the kitchen.
As for why Jiusu was so confident, she had discussed with Manager Fang that if the things were not exposed, they would be easily noticed by thieves, so the special seasoning was placed in an ordinary vinegar jar.
She heated the oil in a pan very slowly.
Shopkeeper Fang crossed his arms, smiled, and tilted his head, saying, "Shopkeeper Qi, you'd better look carefully."
"I'm not blind!" Shopkeeper Qi gritted his teeth. He carefully watched every step of the Jiusu process, "Add salt, add vinegar..."
Until a dish appears on the table, the steps are exactly the same as on the paper.
He couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth greedily. The taste was completely different. One was a fairy product, the other was mud. There was a world of difference between them.
Jiusu loosened his sleeves and said frankly, "Shopkeeper Qi, I said the recipe was right, didn't I? Cooking is an art. It's all about the right time, right place, and right people. Everything a bad person does smells bad, and everything a good person does smells good."
"You!" Shopkeeper Qi was furious, but he couldn't lose his temper. A smile appeared on his dark face. He put down his chopsticks, approached Jiusu, and whispered, "Miss Jiu, the person I found doesn't have superb cooking skills. Look, can you go to Zhenxinglou? I'll give you one or two taels of silver a month!"
I thought about it before coming.
He took the initiative and made Jiusu agree to go to Zhenxing Building with him.
And now it is further confirmed that Jiusu has mastered this skill and he must get her.
There was a hint of coldness on Jiusu's plain face.
She clenched her fists and placed them on her chest, coughed lightly a few times, and ran out to breathe the air, as if she was almost suffocating.
"I'm really sorry, I'm not feeling well and can't stand the smell of cigarettes, so I can't go any further."
"Miss Jiu, you don't have to do it yourself. You just need to give me guidance. I will build a kitchen with less smoke for you, and give you an extra one or two taels of silver a month! With such sincerity, how can Miss Jiu refuse it?" Shopkeeper Qi stretched out a finger, full of confidence.
Two taels of silver, for a peasant girl like this, that is more money than she can earn in her entire life.
But who knew that Jiusu still refused.
"I, won't go."
Shopkeeper Qi's face was filled with anger and confusion. He raised his voice, looked back at Shopkeeper Fang, and said unconvincedly, "I gave you two taels of silver, which is already a huge price. What benefits did Shopkeeper Fang give you? I think Miss Jiu is quite pretty, and her husband is away from home all year round. Could it be that you two are doing something shameful?"
Mrs. Fang picked up the pots and pans and threw them at Manager Qi.
"Qi Wang Ba, you have such a dirty mind, are you worthy of being a shopkeeper? No wonder the restaurant is getting worse and worse. If your heart is dirty, the food will also be stinky!"
His surname is Qi and his courtesy name is Ba.
People nicknamed him "Riding Turtle".
When Shopkeeper Qi saw the woman stop throwing things and walk out from behind the door frame, he smiled grimly, "Did I get it right?"
Jiusu said coldly: "If you want to know the reason, why not ask your good daughter? I'm afraid I'll die if I go to Zhenxing Building!"
When she mentioned the murderer, her expression became even colder.
At that time, considering that Jiang Jing had lost too much blood and there was no one around, she was too busy to report to the police, so Qi Yaer could only escape temporarily. However, her murderous intention was not a spur-of-the-moment impulse. If there was a first time, there would definitely be a second time. She would give Qi Yaer a chance to kill her.
Shopkeeper Qi doesn’t understand what this has to do with Yaer?
"Miss Jiu, I'm always here for you!" He said, turned around and left.
Madam Fang waved her sleeves in an unpleasant manner, trying to dispel the scent left by Shopkeeper Qi. She cursed a few times under her breath, then asked curiously, "You know his daughter? Why do you say she'll lose her life? And how could you fight in broad daylight in a restaurant?"
Hearing this, Jiusu's face showed depression.
"I went to discuss business and crossed the river that Gan County had to pass through. Qi Yaer hired someone to make me fall into the water. On the day I came back, she also sent assassins."
"Damn it!" Madam Fang said angrily. "That girl looked nice, but how could she be so vicious? Luckily you're lucky and have a long life."
“…”
Qi Mansion.
After he returned, he asked why Ya'er had been so secluded in her room, refusing to see anyone all day and being terrified of any disturbance. Shopkeeper Qi pushed the door open and looked at his daughter, who had immediately hidden in bed. He frowned slightly and asked, "Are you sick?"
"Dad..." Qi Yaer peeked out from under the quilt, her voice trembling as she called out, "Yes, a little bit."
Shopkeeper Qi asked doubtfully, "Do you know Jiusu?"
This person's name has become Qi Yaer's nightmare. She sat up suddenly and collapsed, shouting, "I don't know her! I stay at home every day, how could I hire someone to kill her? Dad, you can't not believe your daughter and listen to Jiusu's nonsense!"
