Chapter 49 Manager Xu of the Number One Restaurant in the World
"Brother Xie, who are these two?" Manager Xu knew that Xie Hanchuan was an orphan, and had never seen Xie Hanchuan bring people before, so he was really curious.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I was so busy chatting with you that I forgot to introduce them. This is Lin Luoxi, and this is Lin Wenqian. They are siblings and also my friends."
"The wild boar we brought yesterday, plus the tiger meat we're having today, were hunted by the brothers together." After introducing the Lin siblings to Manager Xu, Xie Hanchuan added that the prey from the past two days was hunted by the Lin siblings.
"Hello, Manager Xu!" After Xie Hanchuan introduced them to Manager Xu, Lin Luoxi and Lin Wenqian greeted him politely.
"Good, good, you are both well." Seeing the sincere looks in the eyes of the Lin siblings, Manager Xu was genuinely happy for Xie Hanchuan. Although the patches on their clothes outnumbered the fabric, it was clear that their family was not well-off, but they were worth getting to know.
Moreover, the fact that they were able to hunt such a large wild boar, plus the tiger meat they now have, shows that the two young men in front of them are both exceptionally skilled.
"You two don't need to be so polite. Since you are Brother Xie's friends, then you are my friends too. There's no need to be so reserved," Manager Xu said with a smile.
Lin Luoxi and Lin Wenqian nodded, adhering to the principle that the more they said, the more mistakes they would make. After smiling at Manager Xu, they stood next to Xie Hanchuan.
Manager Xu didn't mind, thinking the two were just shy, and quickly called over the chefs from the kitchen to help weigh the food.
"Wow, this is tiger meat! And the meat is so fresh, it's amazing."
"Manager Xu, you're amazing! This morning you were saying you didn't know what fancy dishes to serve for the magistrate's baby's full moon banquet tomorrow, and look, here they are..."
When the head chef in the kitchen saw that Xie Hanchuan and Lin Wenqian had brought fresh tiger meat in their baskets, he slapped his thigh and jumped up excitedly.
Regardless of Xie Hanchuan, Lin Wenqian, and Lin Luoxi being present, she said whatever came to mind.
"Hehe, we have to thank Brother Xie for relieving our urgent crisis." Manager Xu didn't stop the chef from speaking without restraint, and looked at Xie Hanchuan and the other two with a smile in his eyes.
"Brother Xie, you've come at just the right time today, otherwise..." Manager Xu thought of the restaurant across the street that had been stealing their business ever since it opened.
Especially after hearing that the county magistrate was going to hold a wedding banquet, they kept trying to find someone to help them.
If their employer hadn't had connections with the county magistrate, they probably would have snatched the magistrate's wedding banquet too.
"Manager Xu, Master Lin's intention is to only sell tiger meat; tiger penis, tiger bones, and tiger gallbladders should be sold at pharmacies..."
Seeing Manager Xu's joy and noticing the chef rummaging through the tiger meat in his basket, Xie Hanchuan gave him a heads-up.
Manager Xu knew that tiger penis and tiger bone could be sold as medicinal materials, so the price would naturally be higher.
But whether it's Xie Hanchuan or the Lin brothers, since they're offering tiger meat to save them today, he should be generous.
"Alright, Brother Xie, you don't need to go to the pharmacy. I'll go up and ask our young master for his opinion on tiger penis and tiger bone, okay?"
"This..." Xie Hanchuan was naturally happy that Manager Xu had accepted all the items, but he didn't know what the Lin siblings were thinking.
Lin Wenqian also looked at Lin Luoxi, since Lin Luoxi was the one who fought the tiger back, and whether or not he agreed would depend on Lin Luoxi's opinion.
"Then please ask Manager Xu for help." Lin Luoxi smiled gratefully at Manager Xu.
"Alright, the three of you, please wait here for a moment." Manager Xu instructed the waiter to bring over some snacks and tea to serve Xie Hanchuan and the other two, while he himself went up to the VIP room on the third floor.
"Knock knock..." Manager Xu stood at the door of the room, took a few deep breaths, and then dared to raise his hand and knock on the door rhythmically.
It wasn't that he hadn't seen many storms, but rather that their young master was even more terrifying than their master.
It's not that their young master is bad, but rather that he's too good, and his inability to show his emotions is even more frightening.
He must have lost his mind to think of coming up to ask the young master for instructions.
I wonder how their young master is feeling today, whether he's unhappy with his behavior.
"Please come in!" A calm, unwavering voice came from inside, making it impossible to guess the speaker's mood.
"Creak~" Manager Xu took a deep breath before pushing open the door and going inside.
Once inside, he didn't dare to look around. When he looked up and saw a familiar figure in front of the desk, it was none other than their young master, Yan Shaoqun. He quickly reported in a low voice.
"Young master, three men who regularly supply us with wild game have come down to the restaurant. Today they brought a tiger..."
"What, a tiger?" A male voice, not that of his young master, suddenly rang out.
Shopkeeper Xu was startled by the sudden sound. He looked up abruptly and saw a handsome young man, about the same age as his young master, staring at him.
It can be inferred that the sound just now must have come from him.
"Ahem, Manager Xu, this is Brother Huai'an, the eldest son of the Meng family." The young man sitting at the desk coughed lightly when he saw Manager Xu staring blankly at the other young man, and began to introduce the two.
The Meng family, Meng Huai'an—doesn't that mean the young man before us is from the most prestigious family in the capital?
Just as she was wondering whether she should bow and kneel before him, Meng Huai'an spoke again.
"You said your restaurant has three hunters who can kill tigers?" Meng Huai'an asked, looking shocked.
That's a tiger, not a pheasant or a wild duck. It's a large, ferocious beast that can kill at any moment.
"Yes, to be precise, it was a young lady who killed it." Judging from the gazes of the three people just now, Manager Xu guessed that the tiger was killed by that young lady.
Although he didn't want to admit that there was no girl with such amazing skills, the fact was that the girl killed the tiger.
"What? A girl killed the tiger?" This time, even the usually mature and composed young master was shocked by Manager Xu's words.
Overcome with excitement, he knocked over the inkstone on his desk, spilling ink all over the floor without even realizing it.
They exchanged a glance, both seeing disbelief in each other's eyes.
"Yes, those three are still downstairs. They originally planned to sell only tiger meat to our restaurant, and intended to take the tiger penis, tiger bones, and tiger gall to the pharmacy to sell, but I stopped them."
"I plan to buy everything he needs to take to the pharmacy, but I don't know how much to pay, so I've come up to ask the young master for his permission."
This was the first time Manager Xu had ever seen his young master so excited, so he quickly told him everything he knew.
"Manager Xu, you've done a good job." Yan Shaoqun was very satisfied with Manager Xu's decision.
