The tense atmosphere in the lobby suddenly froze.
The diners' eyes lit up when they heard the words "free signature dish".
The diners, who had been anxious just moments before, exchanged surprised glances, and some even cheered out loud.
You should know that after Bazhenlou closed for two days, the newly launched honey-glazed crispy duck has become the hottest delicacy in Beijing these days!
The golden, crispy duck skin is wrapped around a crystal-clear ice cream skin. Dipped in a special spicy sauce, it is placed in a paper-thin pancake. With one bite, the fresh, fragrant, spicy and numbing flavors explode on the tongue, leaving you with an unforgettable aftertaste!
Just thinking about it made some people swallow hard.
"You bitch! Don't try to fool me! Pay up, or I'll make you regret it!"
Seeing that everyone's attention had been diverted, the bald man became furious.
He grinned maliciously as he cracked his thick knuckles, making a teeth-grinding snapping sound, his eyes wide open like copper bells.
Zi Xi slowly turned her head, her eyes as calm as a butcher sizing up livestock waiting to be slaughtered.
She casually weighed the gleaming boning knife in her hand; the sharp blade drew a dazzling arc in the sunlight.
"oh?"
How are you going to make me look bad?
She tilted her head slightly, a half-smile playing on her lips.
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly took a step forward, her boning knife twirling beautifully in the air with a skill that was dazzling to behold.
The whooshing sound of blades cutting through the air made everyone present hold their breath, fearing that they would actually see Liu Dongjia slay this suicidal person.
They don't want to lose the free honey-glazed crispy duck!
"Want to teach me a lesson? Sure~ My knife, which I just sharpened yesterday, is really sharp! Oh dear, I'm getting a bit tired of chopping pork just now. If I could chop something else to practice on... that wouldn't be bad~"
"It will probably be easier to use then?"
Zi Xi spoke lightly, her gaze sweeping meaningfully over the bald man's bulging veins on his wrist, then intentionally or unintentionally across his ankle, as if assessing where to make the most effortful incision.
The bald man felt a chill run down his spine from that gaze and unconsciously took a half step back.
The thugs behind him exchanged bewildered glances; the boning knife gleamed coldly, clearly incredibly sharp.
What terrified them even more was that, without them noticing, several burly cooks had surrounded them, carrying rolling pins, shovels, and other weapons, all staring at them menacingly.
Cold sweat beaded on the bald man's forehead as he suddenly remembered that the pale-faced scholar had only given them five taels of silver to cause trouble.
This amount of money isn't even enough for medical expenses!
They're just street thugs; it's not worth risking your life for such a small amount of money!
"You...you...you...who are you trying to scare?!"
"Killing, killing, killing... that will cost you your life!!"
The bald man raised his voice, but it trembled noticeably, as if he were being choked.
He and his henchmen behind him shouted fiercely, but their feet involuntarily moved back half a step, crowding together.
"frighten?"
Zi Xi seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world, and a cold, mocking smile curled at the corner of her lips.
She flicked her wrist, and a piercing whistling sound rang out!
The gleaming boning knife seemed to come alive, transforming into a silver lightning bolt that precisely grazed the bald man's dirty trouser leg before sinking deeply into the hard stone floor at his feet with a resounding thud.
The blade had sunk two inches into the stone slab, and the handle still vibrated and hummed, emitting a frightening aftersound.
