Chapter 627 Arguing with Chun Chang
The sun hung low in the sky, and a gentle breeze was blowing.
The time agreed upon by the Xiao family arrived quickly.
Wan Qiqi brought Feng Qing and Yao Jinniang to the Pear Garden.
This time, no one stopped them from entering, and they were treated with much greater respect.
Wan Qiqi was not surprised at all by this, after all, Xinglong Restaurant was different for them now.
Adding to what happened to Xiao Nian yesterday, the Xiao family probably already knows how audacious the owner of Xinglong Restaurant is!
Upon entering the Pear Garden, she encountered Pei Shi'an.
Beside him was Chun Changzai's employer, Shi Yue.
Shi Yue glanced at Wan Qiqi indifferently, ignored her, and said calmly, "I'll go in first. The kitchen where we competed last time was used to store the ingredients. Today we'll cook in the kitchen next to it."
As he was about to leave, he paused as he passed Wan Qiqi. “Some people who have never hosted a banquet should learn from this. Don’t put all sorts of things on the table. The stomachs of high-ranking officials and nobles can’t handle random stuff.”
Wan Qiqi was stunned for a moment, thinking to herself that she hadn't offended Chun Changzai's family! Why did she feel that this person was hostile towards her?
After saying those words, Shi Yue walked forward, not caring whether Wan Qiqi had listened or not.
Wan Qiqi wasn't one to cause trouble, but she was willing to be scolded for no reason.
"Boss Shi!" Wan Qiqi not only called out to him, but also had Feng Qing stop Shi Yue.
Shi Yue frowned at Feng Qing, then immediately turned to Wan Qiqi, "What do you mean? Are you looking for trouble?"
"I never intended to cause trouble. I just wanted Boss Shi to explain clearly what kind of nonsense I put into the banquet. I've never hosted a banquet before, and there are many things I don't understand, but when Boss Shi hosted his first banquet, didn't he make any mistakes?"
Wan Qiqi stepped forward and looked directly at Shi Yue.
Shi Yue was not much taller than Wan Qiqi, and the two were almost eye to eye, so neither of them was inferior to the other in terms of imposing presence.
"Furthermore, you have never been to the Eight Directions Guesthouse, nor have you seen the snacks I prepared for the banquet, yet you make unwarranted comments. Is this the behavior of Chun Changzai?"
Wan Qiqi's words were powerful and resonant, no less so than a man's.
Shi Yue was momentarily stunned by Wan Qiqi, and his heart trembled slightly.
He had long heard that the female owner of Xinglong Restaurant was quick-witted and audacious, but this was the first time he had ever formally met and clashed with her.
He sneered: "Indeed, women should stay in the inner quarters and not come out. Otherwise, if everyone were as barbaric as you, who knows what kind of offspring they would have!"
"The boss was wrong back then. The children I taught were praised even by Grandpa Xiao. Do you think Grandpa Xiao was wrong? Do you think your knowledge is broader than Grandpa Xiao's?"
Wan Qiqi bringing up Old Master Xiao surprised everyone around her!
When did Wan Qiqi meet Grandpa Xiao?
For a moment, one couldn't help but wonder if there was something fishy going on behind the scenes.
Otherwise, how could Xinglong Restaurant, which has been open for less than half a year, hold a birthday banquet with these time-honored brands?
Shi Yue took a half step back, seemingly intimidated by Wan Qiqi's posture.
Then he sneered, "What a sharp-tongued woman! No wonder she has the ability to build Xinglong Restaurant to such a level in less than half a year."
"Thank you for the compliment." Wan Qiqi grinned, seemingly oblivious to the sarcasm in the words.
Shi Yue snorted coldly and left with a flick of his sleeve.
At this moment, Pei Shi'an walked over and asked, "Qiqi, do you know Old Master Xiao?"
"It was just a brief encounter; we happened to be out playing with our child," Wan Qiqi explained, not wanting others to spread rumors about their relationship.
Wan Qiqi thought to herself: If these words were to fall into the ears of Old Master Xiao, he would probably be very displeased! After all, he doesn't like businessmen.
The two exchanged a glance, said nothing more, and headed towards the kitchen.
At this moment, Xiao Han and Xiao Huai walked out from around the corner.
They had arrived long ago and witnessed the entire confrontation.
Xiao Huai narrowed his eyes slightly, tapping his palm lightly with the handle of his fan. "Tsk, why do I feel like I've been fooled by this woman again?"
Xiao Han looked at Xiao Huai, his eyes filled with doubt.
Although he didn't understand, he still warned, "This woman is very cunning. Be careful. If you stumble, I won't help you!"
"Me? Stumbled?" Xiao Huai burst into laughter as if he had heard something ridiculous. "Brother, what are you thinking? How could I possibly be defeated by a woman? What makes her so special, what abilities does she have?"
"Hmm, a mere village woman, vulgar and uncouth, who loves to scheme!" Xiao Han's eyes grew even colder.
He found it strange that Xiao Nian didn't get angry at Wan Qiqi's behavior when he returned yesterday, and even seemed more relaxed than usual.
He even went to that vegetable garden himself.
Apart from some unfamiliar dishes, he couldn't see anything different.
Today, he had someone buy soil and vegetable seeds and planted them in his sister's yard, hoping it would change her temperament and encourage her to go out more.
Xiao Huai didn't care about Xiao Nian's matter; he was only thinking about how to settle accounts with Wan Qiqi for being framed.
But think about it, Father's birthday is in a few days. If Wan Qiqi is upset now, Father's birthday may also be affected.
At this point, Xiao Huai decided to keep the score with Wan Qiqi in mind for now and settle it with her after the birthday banquet!
“Let’s go see what the four shops have prepared for the banquet.” Xiao Huai tilted his head and said, “I bet Wan Qiqi will interfere with the dishes and make Shi Yue unhappy.”
"As long as my father is happy, it doesn't matter who did it."
Xiao Han's idea surprised Xiao Huai, yet it wasn't entirely unexpected.
That's how they always are; they only care about the result, and what happens along the way doesn't matter much.
Soon, the two arrived at the kitchen.
