Chapter 573 Wan Qiqi's acting skills are top-notch
Xiao Huai narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "What right do you have to negotiate with me?"
Wan Qiqi: "..."
Forget it, she really didn't want to waste her time talking to this person.
Wan Qiqi turned and glanced at Xiao Huai's entourage, not wanting to say anything, and stepped into the private room.
As Xiao Huai said, Wan Qiqi was followed by attendants who watched her like a prisoner, never leaving her side.
After the attendants entered the kitchen, everyone in the kitchen stopped and looked towards the door with a hint of wariness in their eyes.
The commotion in the main hall was so great that the kitchen staff quickly found out what had happened.
Lei Zi held a knife in his hand, staring fiercely at the two people behind Wan Qiqi, as if the moment they dared to step into the kitchen, the knife in his hand would immediately fall on his followers.
Even if he wanted to, he couldn't do it.
First, he couldn't cause trouble for the restaurant and Wan Qiqi; second, the Xiao family's status was truly terrifying, and the consequences were beyond his ability to bear.
Looking at the two people at the door, Niu Yi couldn't help but think of the thugs from last night. The bruises on his body seemed to have been pinched, and they hurt terribly.
He lowered his head, his expression slightly ferocious.
Wan Qiqi walked over, and the moment her hand touched Niu Yi, he dodged to the side, covering his head and crying out, "No...don't hit me!"
Wan Qiqi's expression was rather somber, and her gaze towards Niu Yi grew increasingly cold.
Her gaze fell on Niu Yi's fingers, and she looked at the cocoon in deep thought.
She had always thought that the cocoons in Niuyi were left over from making pastries, but now she didn't think so; she felt that they were other cocoons that had fallen.
Niuyi's current reaction seems to be a consequence of being threatened.
What could cause such aftereffects?
"Hey, stop wasting time daydreaming. If you keep my young master waiting, you'll be sorry!" one of the servants scolded.
Wan Qiqi's train of thought was interrupted, and she was slightly annoyed. She glanced at the servant and said coldly, "Your young master is willing to wait, so what are you saying here? Do you think you can make decisions for your young master?"
She suffered mistreatment from Xiao Huai; surely she wouldn't tolerate the same from her attendants!
"you……"
The attendant stepped forward, seemingly about to make a move, but was pulled back by another guard.
"Don't cause trouble. Our job is to keep an eye on her making desserts. Nothing else is our concern."
The other guard was more composed and cautious.
"That's more like it! Let me tell you, don't look around. These are all the restaurant's secrets. If even one of the recipes gets leaked, I'll report it to the authorities. I might not be able to deal with your young master, but do you think I'm afraid of you?"
As Wan Qiqi spoke, she scooped up a bowl of flour and forcefully splashed it onto the cutting board.
The dust kicked up by the flour immediately scattered, staining Wan Qiqi's skirt from the waist down white, and also causing the servants beside her to cough.
"Oops, sorry, my hand slipped." Wan Qiqi grinned, then immediately stopped smiling and said to Niu Yi, who had recovered his senses, "Give me this seat. Use the snacks from the restaurant that we have prepared first, and we'll make more if we need more."
“Okay…” Niu Yi lowered his head and dodged to the side, not daring to look into other people’s eyes.
Reflecting on his actions, Niu Yi felt a pang of regret, fearing that someone might have noticed something amiss.
In fact, the kitchen staff did not notice Niu Yi. Being watched by Xiao Huai's entourage made them feel uneasy, and they were all on guard, so they had no time to pay attention to anything else.
Wan Qiqi also noticed this problem and decided to move the worktable to the yard to make it easier for the kitchen staff to run the restaurant business.
With that in mind, she began to do so.
She can move light things out, but it's a bit difficult for her to move things like tables that require physical labor.
She glanced at the people in the kitchen, finally settling her gaze on Xiao Huai's attendants, and said, "Help me move the table out."
"Young Master said that no one is allowed to interfere," the impatient attendant replied, with an arrogant air.
"When your young master said no one should interfere, he meant no one from this restaurant was allowed to interfere. You are neither from this restaurant nor are you interfering in making the pastries, so you don't count."
Wan Qiqi explained, waiting for the two to make their move.
After a long while, the two stood there, motionless.
“You know your young master’s personality better than I do. If it really drags on late, I’m afraid it won’t just be me who suffers, you won’t escape the consequences either, right? After all, you didn’t supervise him properly and the desserts weren’t made smoothly…”
Wan Qiqi glanced at her two attendants as she spoke, then stopped talking.
Attendant: "..."
They really didn't know how this woman dared to find a loophole in the young master's words. Wasn't she afraid?
The two exchanged a glance and realized that Wan Qiqi was right, so they started moving the table.
Wan Qiqi looked at the two of them, a smug smile curving her lips.
Once you've done it once, you'll naturally do it again. Once you get used to it, things become much easier to say and do.
The two servants felt that they weren't there to keep an eye on Wan Qiqi, but rather to be dragged here to do hard labor.
This woman always manages to get their help, leaving them speechless.
Wan Qiqi saw that the preparations were almost complete and stared at the flour on the cutting board, lost in thought.
To satisfy Xiao Huai, one must meet his tastes, but she doesn't know what his tastes are.
Wan Qiqi turned her head to look at the two servants, had a plan in mind, and began to act with a smile.
She added a handful of sugar to the flour, and it looked normal at first. Then I watched as she grabbed a second handful, a third handful, a fourth handful...
The servant standing nearby was stunned by her behavior.
What kind of operation is this? Putting in so much sugar, won't it be too sweet?
This was just the beginning. Wan Qiqi added a bunch of random things afterward, making the dough in her hands look terrible.
