Chapter 522 The Cook Fell Down
The chief shopkeeper was also very anxious.
If something happened on the first floor, they would be in trouble too.
Moreover, since they all came to the first floor to eat, they should try their best to protect them. But now it seems that they can't protect these people.
"How about, my Lord, wait until you finish eating the Thousand Snow Mushrooms? After all, the Thousand Snow Mushrooms have been washed and must be sliced and put into the pot within a quarter of an hour. The chef may have already prepared the slices, so it would be bad to delay any further."
Unexpectedly, the chief shopkeeper actually stopped Marquis Ping'en when he mentioned this.
"really?"
"My lord, we are here for the Thousand Snow Mushroom in the first place, and we can't let these bugs delay us." Another fat-headed and big-eared man also said.
"Okay, then for the sake of Qianxue Mushroom."
Ping Enhou pointed at Bai Hu and the others and said, "But these people are not allowed to leave. They should stay and watch us eat. After they have had enough food and drink, we will come and settle the accounts."
“That’s right.”
As soon as those men waved their hands, many guards immediately gathered outside and blocked the way of Baihu and the others.
This really means they won't be allowed to leave.
"Come on, go on, go upstairs." Marquis Ping'en walked upstairs with a swagger.
His minions all shouted at Fu Zhaoning and the others, "Come on, try to run if you dare."
The chief shopkeeper looked at them and groaned secretly.
"Aren't you from the Imperial Capital? How did you get into trouble with Marquis Ping'en? It's fine if nothing serious happened just now after they bumped into you, but you should have left quickly. What should we do now?"
The head shopkeeper was so anxious that his palms were sweating. He looked at them with some reluctance, "Is there anyone in your family who can speak to you? Anyone who knows Queen Min? If there is, please send someone back to ask for help. Otherwise, it will be too late. Go quietly."
After saying this, he also hurried to the kitchen.
We have to keep a close eye on those rare mushrooms, as many distinguished guests come here just for them. We only get a few kilograms of them a year, so we can't make any mistakes.
"Princess, do you want to send someone to find the prince?" Eleven looked at Fu Zhaoning.
"Need not."
Fu Zhaoning pushed them aside and went upstairs.
If she went to find Xiao Lanyuan, Xiao Lanyuan might think she was too troublesome.
Last night her maid offended him, and today when she went out she offended the powerful people of Da He again.
We have already had a quarrel, should I ask him for protection now?
She's not that weak!
Seeing her going upstairs, Xiaoqin hurriedly followed.
Ping Enhou and his entourage were in the largest private room on the second floor. In addition to a round table, there was also a tea table and a piano table, so the space was quite large.
"Call those guys in and have them line up here. They'll watch us eat and eat until they're so hungry."
The words of Marquis Ping'en came over.
Fu Zhaoning walked in and asked, "Where should I stand?"
Her appearance instantly brightened the eyes of Ping Enhou and others.
"woman?"
"beauty?"
"I did see a girl just now, but I didn't expect her to be so pretty!"
Ping Enhou's eyes, which were already squeezed very small by his fat, narrowed even more, looking lustful, "My beauty, your accent is not from our Dahe people, right? Where did it come from?"
"It's none of your business." Fu Zhaoning replied calmly.
Marquis Ping'en paused and his face froze for a moment, but he was not angry at all. Instead, he burst into laughter again.
"Hahaha, interesting. He's quite a hot-tempered person."
When he saw Baihu and the others followed in, he stood next to Fu Zhaoning and couldn't help but clapped his hands and said, "So they are all guards of beauties? No wonder they have the same temper as you. If you had raised your head and shown your face earlier, I would have been gentler."
"Marquis Ping'en, right? Why don't you continue to be so arrogant? You look particularly wretched this way."
"Haha, I just like it when a beauty praises me like this. Come on, come on, sit here. How can you let a beauty stand? Come on, sit here, and I'll feed you a bite of Thousand Snow Mushroom later!"
Fu Zhaoning really walked towards him.
Xiao Qin was anxious, "Miss!"
Eleven and the others also changed their expressions.
Although he knew that Fu Zhaoning was quite skilled and had a lot of poison needles on her body so she rarely suffered any harm, he was still worried that something might happen to her.
But Fu Zhaoning waved his hands behind his back at them, indicating that they didn't need to follow.
Just when Fu Zhaoning was about to walk to Marquis Ping'en, the chief shopkeeper ran in with an anxious look on his face.
"My Lord, I'm afraid I can't eat the Thousand Snow Mushroom today. I'm here to apologize to you. Can you and the other young masters order some other dishes?"
"What did you say?"
Marquis Ping'en didn't care about Fu Zhaoning for a moment. He slammed the table and stood up.
"We all came here for the Thousand Snow Mushrooms, and you tell us we can't eat it? Didn't you just say we should prepare to slice it?" The others also shouted.
"Yes, yes, but everyone knows that cutting the mushroom into thin flakes requires great knife skills. We only have one chef on the first floor who can do it, but when he was cleaning the mushroom just now, he suddenly got cramps in his hands and fell down!"
"Can't you just rub the cramp? It will be fine after a few rubs!"
"No, Chef Sun hasn't woken up yet!" The head shopkeeper said, clasping his fists repeatedly, "I'm so sorry, everyone. I still have to apologize to the other guests, and I'll come back to apologize to the Marquis later."
He was so exhausted that he ran out again.
Xiao Qin ran to Fu Zhaoning and said to her, "Miss, this Chef Sun is Master Du's apprentice."
"My cousin's great uncle's apprentice?" Fu Zhaoning was a little surprised.
"yes."
"Are you on good terms?"
"It seems that Mr. Du taught him very hard. Chef Sun learned his amazing knife skills from Mr. Du."
After a while, I heard people making noises next door, upstairs, and across the street.
"I waited for a year and came all the way here to eat the mushrooms, and now you say I can't eat them?"
"The Second Prince is here too. You said no one is cooking the mushrooms?"
Marquis Ping En was about to make a scene when he suddenly heard this. "Hey, is the Second Prince here too? He's right next door? Come on, go over and say hello to the Second Prince."
If you want to cause trouble, just get together.
A group of people rushed to the next door.
Fu Zhaoning took advantage of the chaos and walked to the head shopkeeper.
"Where is Chef Sun?"
Since Chef Sun was the apprentice of her great-uncle, she had to help him. According to her great-uncle, there were not many young people in the Du family who had a talent for cooking. Only a few of them had learned a little from him. However, there were two or three apprentices with good talent. They had learned a lot, which was rare.
"Girl, don't make trouble at this time--"
The head shopkeeper was so anxious that he was sweating and didn't bother to pay any attention to her.
"If he's sick, I can cure him. I'm a doctor. You have to try your best now, right? What if I can let him cut the vegetables?"
The chief shopkeeper was stunned, but then he felt that what she said made sense.
But he couldn't believe it, so he pointed downstairs and said, "It's behind the kitchen, go and see."
After saying this, he ran to apologize to the guests.
