Li Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly and stood at the door, thoughtfully.
If the other party hadn't said that, maybe Li Xiao wouldn't have doubts, but since he had already said that, the matter must be related to it.
"Okay, then we understand!"
The boss turned around and walked out. He originally wanted to discuss the matter with Li Xiao, but he never imagined that Li Xiao had been standing at the door for a long time.
When he heard what the other party said, he frowned and felt a little annoyed, and then he spoke harshly.
"I said, Boss Zhou, we are all people who want to cooperate. Naturally, I will not embarrass you."
"But since I sincerely want to cooperate, food safety is naturally the top priority. I even want to go into the kitchen to have a look. Do you think we dare to continue this cooperation?"
"Besides, we don't do anything we shouldn't do. We just check it according to the rules. Isn't this also okay?"
Li Xiao shook his head, and then said coldly, "Okay, okay."
"I already know your thoughts, so let's end this matter. At worst, we can just pretend that nothing happened. There is no need to continue all this cooperation."
After saying that, he turned and left.
On the other hand, Boss Zhou was extremely anxious this week and finally found Li Xiao, the one who had been taken advantage of.
If he wants to cooperate with himself, and it is a cooperation with hundreds of people, there is absolutely no way he will let it go so easily.
Feeling anxious, he said in a panic, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, these are all misunderstandings!"
"Don't worry, brother, I'll go in and have a nice talk with the chef!"
"This head chef is just trying to ensure that his materials are not leaked. After all, everyone has their own exclusive secret recipe. If it is really leaked, everything will be ruined! When we open our doors to do business, we must be more thoughtful.
.”
After Boss Zhou said this, he patted Li Xiao on the shoulder. Although he was a little anxious, he didn't say another word and turned around to leave.
Just as Boss Zhou left, Li Xiao looked around.
At this moment, more and more people are coming to eat, and the small shops are already occupied.
There are still many people queuing up outside. Seeing how these people are familiar with the traffic, they must be regular customers.
It is precisely because of this that Li Xiao becomes even more worried. He always feels that things are not that simple, but it should not be as complicated as imagined.
Then he shook his head.
"Brothers, should you come here often to eat Lao Zhi Seafood? What do you think of their seafood? Is it particularly delicious?"
These people raised their heads and looked at Li Xiao, thinking that Li Xiao was a new customer and the alliance recommended him.
"Yes, yes, their seafood in sauce is particularly delicious. It is the best I have ever tasted!"
"You can give it a try, we come here almost every day. If you come late, not only will there be no space, I'm afraid even the goods won't be that complete."
"Little brother, do you want to cooperate with them?"
"If we cooperate with them, we will definitely be able to become bigger and stronger in the future. The main reason is that their food is delicious, and except for the chef there, the other people are good-natured and treat their customers well."
"correct!"
Almost all the comments were praising them, and Li Xiao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
It is indeed a bit unbelievable. Li Xiao is now even doubting whether what the boy said is true or false.
"Mr. Li Xiao, why are you still here?"
At the same time, the young couple who ran out to avoid suspicion had already returned. Unexpectedly, they turned around and saw that Li Xiao was still here. They felt a little strange in their hearts, so they asked in confusion.
Li Xiao touched his nose and said helplessly, "I haven't figured out what happened yet. I definitely can't leave now."
"Are you guys coming back for dinner? Let's sit together and have a good discussion. There are some things I also want to ask clearly."
At this critical moment.
Boss Zhou came out of the kitchen and looked up at Li Xiao, who was very embarrassed. Needless to say, he knew that he must have been rejected by the chef.
"The chef said you can go into the kitchen if you want, but not now! After he takes care of all the guests outside, he will definitely let you in."
"Now that there is a secret recipe, we must ensure the absolute safety of the secret recipe, so I'm really sorry. You shouldn't be angry because of this matter?"
Li Xiao raised his eyebrows, he was indeed a little annoyed.
But now I can’t talk to others.
"Forget it, since you have said so, let's end this matter here. I don't have time to accompany you. I'll wait here until all the guests leave. Then let's stop talking about this business."
Li Xiao seemed a little angry, turned around and walked out.
How could Boss Zhou let such a big financial backer go? Feeling anxious and uneasy, he hurriedly chased after him, and then spoke loudly.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, these are all misunderstandings! Don't worry, don't worry, I will go to persuade the chef now, or I will just take you in directly."
"Just don't worry!"
Hearing this sentence, his brows furrowed tightly.
"Then don't cooperate. I've made it very clear just now. I don't want to continue talking nonsense with you. You can do whatever you want. That's your own business and has nothing to do with me."
"Of course, if you insist on doing whatever you want, don't blame me for being rude."
Li Xiao originally wanted to scare them and turn around and leave, but he didn't expect that these people didn't give Li Xiao a chance to leave at all. Li Xiao naturally felt awkward.
"let's go!"
"I also see that they have no intention of cooperating with you. In that case, there is no need to stay."
"There's no need, just leave."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After hearing this, several people turned around and left.
Before Li Xiao left, the people behind him were almost unable to hold on any longer. They had no other reason but to take Li Xiao in as soon as possible.
"Oh, little brother, didn't I explain it to you just now? This is a misunderstanding. Don't believe what they say. Just rest assured and leave this matter to us."
"I have my own ideas, and I will definitely be able to settle this matter for you."
After saying that, he turned around and took Li Xiao directly into the kitchen.
In the kitchen, several people were looking at each other, and the chef was even more angry and said coldly.
"What do you mean, Boss Zhou, didn't you agree not to bring anyone in? If you don't do things according to the rules now, how can we show our sincerity?"
"Having said this, you should listen to our thoughts. Isn't there something wrong with you now?"
When several people around him heard this, they felt anxious and uneasy. They didn't even know what was waiting for them next.
He could only lower his head and remain silent.
"Mr. Zhou, what are you talking about? How did you promise us before? Why has it changed now? We have been brothers for many years. We have unconditional trust in you. Is it right for you to treat us like this?"
The people around him said something to each other. When Li Xiao heard these words, he felt something was wrong and spoke coldly.
"First, as a partner, there is nothing wrong with me coming over to see what's going on in the kitchen. After all, I need to ensure the absolute safety of the food."
"Second, and most importantly, what I want to do has nothing to do with anyone else. Don't you guys just make trouble here, do you understand?"
After saying that, he turned sideways and left here.
They had just gone a few steps away when they stopped.
"Okay, you are worried about yourselves, and I am also worried about our safety, so let's stop talking."
When Li Xiao came in, he saw that their kitchen was relatively clean and didn't seem to have any problems. This meant that their ideas might not be so mature.
Maybe there's nothing wrong with their kitchen, and there's nothing wrong with Mr. Zhou, but the problem lies with this seasoning.
That's the problem with great chefs.
This great chef has always been secretive, and normal people can tell that there must be something wrong with this man.
In this case, there is no need to find someone to continue struggling here.
"Okay, chef, let's take a step to talk. I just ate the food you made. It was really delicious. In fact, I am a food blogger."
"Every time I recommend something, many fans will come to taste it. I think I can drive your business, but before that, I need to tell you something."
Li Xiao spoke coldly, looking at the man in front of him quietly, waiting for his answer.
The brows of these people were furrowed, and the chef had a smile on his face. He looked at Li Xiao as if he could tell something was wrong with him.
"I already knew it just now. Even the collaborators are not in such a hurry to enter the kitchen, so there must be something wrong with you."
"I don't know what you want to do by doing this, but let me tell you, the food here is delicious and it's a well-known fact."
"Our kitchen is clean and tidy, as you can see. There is no way to change this. So, I don't care what you do. I only know that if you are upright, you will not be afraid of the shadow. I know it well."
After the chef finished speaking, he lowered his head, turned around and started his work, ignoring Li Xiao.
"You can say that, but if the relevant departments arrive, can they investigate and find out that there is something wrong with your ingredient list?"
Li Xiao came to the chef's side and spoke coldly. His voice was not loud, but people nearby could hear it clearly. Even the audience in the live broadcast room had clearly heard what Li Xiao meant.
I couldn't help but raise my head and look at Li Xiao, confused.
Everyone doesn't understand what Li Xiao means. Is there really something wrong with this thing?
The chef was still here coldly mocking Li Xiao at first, but when he heard what Li Xiao said, his expression suddenly changed.
It was a bit unbelievable, so I looked at Li Xiao quietly and said cautiously, "I really don't understand what you mean. Okay, since you insist, I will follow you and take a look."
"Anyway, with so many people here, you can't really attack me or do anything you shouldn't do."
After the chef said this, he took Li Xiao to a room not far away.
This place is relatively soundproof, so you can't hear the chatter outside.
"Master, if I guess correctly, there is something in your ingredient list that cannot be discovered."
"Your food is indeed delicious, but it is also addictive. If the food is delicious, it can already attract many customers, so why do you still do this?"
Li Xiao spoke directly and did not beat around the bush with him.
I am a person who likes to get straight to the point, so I speak more directly.
Besides, if you don't get straight to the point with such people, you will only be the one who gets hurt in the end.
"I, I don't understand what you mean. I'm the chef. Don't I know what I can and can't put in it? Are you looking for trouble here if I use it now? Nonsense!"
When Li Xiao heard this, the corners of his mouth raised slightly. If the other party really knew these things, then there would be no way that he would be standing here now.
Then he shook his head.
"Brother, please don't act recklessly here! What's going on? You understand and I understand. I have made it very clear just now. I am a food blogger."
"What exactly did you put in these things? I can eat it in one bite. I didn't expose you directly, but brought you here just to let you explain clearly what happened. Something happened."
"If you continue to deceive consumers and make people dependent on these foods, you should understand what the consequences will be once the incident comes to light."
Hearing this, the other party's face turned violent. This matter had seriously affected their plans.
He also did not expect that Li Xiao could guess that this matter was related to him in such a short period of time.
"Why haven't you ever thought that maybe our boss asked me to do this?"
"It is absolutely impossible for Mr. Zhou to do such a thing?" Li Xiao lowered his head and said coldly, "If it is really Mr. Zhou who did it, then there is absolutely no way that he would let me come here."
"So, apart from you, it is impossible for anyone else to get involved in this matter."
I have made it clear what I need to say. If you don’t believe it, then don’t blame us!
Li Xiao touched his nose after speaking. He didn't have much patience for him originally, but now that he doesn't believe it, there is no need for him to continue to pester him.
Seeing Li Xiao turn and leave, the other party's face looked a little ugly.
There was a little helplessness in his eyes.
"Forget it, what are you talking to him about? Anchor!"
