Chapter 140
Aqiu: ...
…
Cheng Hui didn't understand Aqiu's purpose at all. In his opinion, Aqiu's acting was really good. Other than that? That's it!
Aqiu: ...
Since Cheng Hui hadn't noticed he was frantically displaying his screen, and it seemed a bit foolish to continue doing so, Ah Qiu could only restrain himself for the time being and coughed dryly, "What should we do next?"
"Next..." Cheng Hui thought about it. The Hu family must be wondering why he didn't die. They probably came to Master Liu to find trouble, perhaps with some testing intentions.
Although he hired some bodyguards, he was not sure whether these bodyguards could protect Aqiu's life, so he decided to keep a low profile for the time being.
"Um..." He looked at Aqiu and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"What's wrong?" Aqiu smiled gently.
Cheng Hui rubbed his nose. "Actually... we could start by improving the kitchen at Chunfeng Restaurant. After all, their biggest problem is that their best chefs have all been poached, and the remaining ones are really not that good."
Cheng Hui's words were not nonsense. In order to force the Liu family, the Hu family caused a lot of trouble to Chunfeng Restaurant. The other problems were easy to deal with, but the biggest problem was that they poached their chef.
Speaking of which, that chef is also a heartless person.
He was saved by Mr. Liu when he was in danger. In order to repay his gratitude, he stayed in the restaurant as a chef.
Master Liu did not take advantage of him. Not only did he pay him a very high salary, he also taught him many family recipes. Even his wife was arranged by Master Liu, and he almost treated him as an apprentice.
But who would have thought that such a person who always claimed to repay a favor would be the first to betray Master Liu.
The most hateful thing is that Brother Liu was angry at this guy's cruelty and went to scold him, but he claimed that the Liu family had looked down on him for so many years. Not only did they take advantage of him in terms of wages, but they also found him a yellow-faced woman who couldn't even give birth to a son.
At that time, Brother Liu was so angry that he almost fought with him, but the Hu family found an advantage in his fight, broke his legs and threw him out.
No matter how bad this guy's character is, his cooking skills are indeed not bad. Otherwise, Master Liu would not have given him all the family recipes because he admired him.
Now, the man who betrayed Master Liu has become the head chef of the Hu Family Hotel, and the Liu family's signature dishes have become his specialties. Conversely, the Liu Family Restaurant, without him as the chef and having several of his assistants kidnapped, has been unable to find replacements for a while, and its cooking quality has plummeted.
So what Cheng Hui meant was that no matter what the Hu family did, the Liu family's restaurant had to be established first, otherwise once those diners got used to eating at the Hu family's, it would be difficult for them to come back.
After Cheng Hui said this, Aqiu was stunned for a moment, and then felt inexplicably guilty.
"What's wrong?" Cheng Hui looked at him in confusion.
"It's okay..." Qiu looked away. "You want me to cook? Why do you think I can cook?"
Cheng Hui: ???
"I... I didn't think you could cook?" Cheng Hui was also confused by him. "I just thought, your son is so good at cooking, maybe you can be good at it too..."
Originally, Aqiu was still worried that he had exposed something, but as soon as Cheng Hui opened his mouth, he suddenly realized something was wrong: "Wait a minute! What do you mean by my son? When did I have a son?" He stared at Cheng Hui with wide eyes.
How can you slander someone's innocence out of thin air!
Cheng Hui was also stunned, then realized that he had been reckless. He just thought that the two men looked a bit similar and randomly guessed that they were father and son. What if... they were grandfather and grandson?
Anyway, in the world of cultivation, there's no way to guess age by looking at someone's face, let alone grandfather and grandson, it's possible to say he's Qingyang's ancestor...
"What are you thinking about?" Aqiu suddenly asked.
"Ancestor..." Cheng Hui said directly without any preparation.
As soon as I finished speaking, I knew something was wrong, and sure enough, I saw Aqiu’s face was dark.
"What are you thinking about? First you say I have a son, and then you talk about ancestors... What kind of image do I have in your mind?" Aqiu asked dissatisfiedly.
Cheng Hui was suddenly speechless.
What is the image of Aqiu?
Is it someone who has helped you before?
Is it the person who is parasitic in his soul?
Or maybe... he's someone who's a little dangerous, but he can never be on guard against him?
It's strange to say, when most people encounter this kind of thing, the first thing they would think of is that Aqiu might be here to take over someone else's body. Even if they can't kill him immediately, they will definitely be on guard against him.
But Cheng Hui didn't know what was going on. At first he reminded himself to be careful, but later he seemed to have lost his guard.
What's worse, after Aqiu helped him deal with the zombie that took over his body, he actually treated this person as a friend... He should have been careful and vigilant.
"I think...what you are thinking about now is definitely not a good thing." Aqiu narrowed his eyes and directly interrupted Cheng Hui's thoughts.
Cheng Hui looked at him speechlessly. He didn't understand why he couldn't be on guard against this person.
It was as if his intuition was telling him that this person would not hurt him.
Cheng Hui silently held his forehead... He felt that he had so many secrets, and this Ah Qiu in front of him...
Oh, it's a mess.
Cheng Hui knew he couldn't solve it for the time being, so he simply ignored it. Anyway, things will work out when the time comes... Emmm, we'll talk about it later..._(:з」∠)_
"Ahem, anyway... I'm sorry to bother you, please relay this to me." Cheng Hui said sincerely.
"Yeah." Aqiu nodded. Cheng Hui was the only one who could see him now, so the key to completing the task still lay with him.
He never refuses anything that can help Cheng Hui.
Even though... cooking actually damages his image as the Demon Lord. But... who cares, no one else can see it!
Things that happened in the past told him that being cool and aloof would not help him in pursuing Cheng Hui, and it might even cause a lot of misunderstandings, so he wanted Cheng Hui to feel his true self... No, it would be better to dress up a little so as not to scare him.
As Cheng Hui's spokesperson, Aqiu quickly brought his large group of bodyguards to Chunfeng Restaurant.
The Chunfeng Restaurant, which was once very bustling, is now deserted. The waiter is leaning lazily on the table and yawning.
He was sharp-eyed and saw Ah Qiu appear. He jumped up with a start and said with a flattering smile: "The young master is here. What would you like to eat? Your private room on the second floor is always clean."
Aqiu shook his head, looked at the empty hall, and went directly to the kitchen. At the same time, he did not forget to ask the waiter to gather the other kitchen helpers in the kitchen.
Not long after he arrived at the kitchen, four or five people came in one after another. As a large three-story restaurant, there used to be at least a dozen people in the kitchen, including chefs, choppers and vegetable washers. But now there are only a few people left.
That ungrateful guy took a lot of people away. The current head chef was promoted from a former kitchen helper. Master Liu had been kind to him in the past, so he was unwilling to leave. When the ungrateful guy wanted to leave, it was he who went to the Liu family to inform them. Otherwise, that bastard would have tried to cheat Master Liu before leaving.
"Uncle Zhao." Aqiu nodded to the current head chef, Zhao Guang. "Thank you for your hard work lately."
"It's not hard." Zhao Guang was a simple and honest uncle, a kind man. At this moment, he rubbed his hands nervously: "Young Master, what's the matter with you calling us here?"
Zhao Guang and several others were also worried that the young master was coming to inform them that they could stop working. After all, everyone had seen what the restaurant had been like in the past few days. It would not be surprising if the Liu family could no longer support it one day.
He was just a little worried that it would be difficult to find an employer as kind as the Liu family in the future.
"It's like this..." A Qiu didn't keep him in suspense and directly asked him what dishes he was good at cooking.
Zhao Guang's original craftsmanship was very average. Even though he took up the position urgently these days and Master Liu taught him a few tricks, he still couldn't do it very well for the time being.
This is understandable. The Liu family's recipes are all complicated, and it is difficult to make perfect products without long-term training.
"Well, come with me and sign a contract." Aqiu took out a contract.
Since the ungrateful incident, all the people who stayed behind have signed a new contract with the Liu family. The contract stipulates very strict breach of contract conditions. In this way, if nothing else, at least the cost of poaching by the Hu family will be greatly increased.
In contrast, the Liu family also improved the treatment of these people. As a result, these people may not be willing to bear the label of traitor.
Uncle Zhao also signed a similar contract, but this time, in addition to the recipes specially instructed by the young master, he also got a share of the restaurant's dividends. Even though the dividends were not much, it was already very satisfying for him.
"Don't worry, young master. I promise not to tell anyone a single word, not even in my dreams!" Uncle Zhao's face turned red with excitement, and he patted his chest and swore.
Aqiu smiled gently: "Of course I believe you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and found a handyman, gave him some money, and asked him to monitor Chef Zhao and report immediately if he found Chef Zhao in contact with others.
Then, he found a boy and asked the waiter to monitor the odd jobs. In short, after a round, basically everyone in the restaurant thought that they were the young master's spies, and they patted their chests and guaranteed that they would never let the young master down!
Cheng Hui: ...
Cheng Hui felt a little complicated. He also knew that people's trust should not be given lightly, but the fact that everyone became his spies still amazed him.
He deeply felt that if Aqiu was the leader of a certain force, his subordinates would probably live in fear every day.
It's a pity that Ah Qiu didn't guess his thoughts. Otherwise, he could have taken advantage of the situation to play a victim. Back then, his subordinates were thinking about how to kill him every day to smoothly take over the position. He had no choice but to do this...
After pretending to repeat Cheng Hui's instructions, Aqiu looked at Chef Zhao stumbling while cooking and couldn't help but feel anxious for him.
Fortunately, even though they had never met before, Chef Zhao was a qualified chef. Together with the powerful talker Cheng Hui, he managed to successfully prepare eight dishes and one soup.
Faced with those delicious-looking dishes, Cheng Hui, as a qualified foodie, suddenly felt a little hungry.
But the moment he tried to pick up the chopsticks, he was dumbfounded... He, the ghost, couldn't touch it.
Cheng Hui: ..._(:з」∠)_
What kind of insane torture is this???
He looked at Ah Qiu pitifully as he wore Liu Qing's shell, picked up the chopsticks with dignity, and tasted and commented on each dish.
The braised pork wasn't soft enough, and the chili in the boiled pork wasn't crispy enough. He grew hungrier and hungrier as he listened, his eyes filled with hunger.
Aqiu: ...
Melancholy! I wish Ah Hui could look at me like this again...
