Chapter 291: There is no way to borrow fire and clear up the past grudges
"I come!"
Agui rolled up his sleeves, took the flint, and started banging on it.
"how?"
"It's useless..."
Sparks just burst out between the flints and fell on the tinder, but there was not even a trace of smoke.
"Is it a ghost?"
A waiter rushed into the back kitchen and saw all the cooks gathered in front of the stove. He jumped up anxiously. "Where are the dishes? The guests are urging us!"
…
"What's wrong, Shopkeeper Zhou? You have a headache?"
Zhou Shi rubbed his temples and said softly: "There were too many things before the opening, so I didn't sleep well."
It's strange that with the yellow beam pillow, he can be active and active after sleeping for an hour a day.
What troubled him was the situation in the kitchen that Dashu had just reported.
Needless to say, the people responsible must be those brought by Deng Zeen!
"I don't think that kid in gold and silver is a good guy. He can't see the food coming and is banging the table and cursing!" Dashu said hurriedly.
In order to make good use of the big tree as a live surveillance device, bonsais were placed in the four corners of the front hall to facilitate surveillance from all directions.
Judging from the news sent back by Dashu, the kitchen in the back was in a mess because they couldn't start the fire, and the guests in the front hall were getting impatient.
If this is Deng Zeen's fault, then he has at least half succeeded.
Of course he was anxious in his heart, but he tried his best to appear calm on the outside - he couldn't let Deng Zeen think that his trick had succeeded.
What's more, I can't see what kind of means this is, and I can't think of a way to deal with it for a while.
Fortunately, he still has a trump card, Mr. Mo should wake up by now.
…
"fire Fire!"
Agui hit the flint hard and finally saw a wisp of green smoke coming out of the tinder.
"Yes! Get out of the way!"
He held the fire like a baby that was not full of moon, and gently stuffed it into the stove.
The guys didn't even dare to show off their enthusiasm. It wasn't until they saw the flames bursting out that they cheered together.
"Light up all the other stoves!" Xue An said as he rolled up his sleeves, but just as he was about to get the pot handle, he was forced back half a step by an inexplicable cold air, "Why, why is this fire cold?"
Then another basin of cold water was poured over. "No, the other stoves still can't light up!"
Xue An bit his lower lip and said, "Bring the bucket and the menu to me, quickly!"
…
"I said, are you selling wine, food or plates?"
"Of course it's food and wine."
"Would you like to bring a pile of plates to show me? Where are the dishes?"
The young man slapped the table, causing the chopstick cages and plates to fly up and scatter all over the floor.
The waiter complained endlessly, apologizing and calling for someone to come and clean up the debris.
When the guests at other tables saw this, they couldn't hold back their pent-up anger, and they all stood up and left the table.
Just when the front hall was in chaos, I heard a "here we come", and Agui led a team of waiters to the table with various dishes. "Wait!"
The look of surprise on the young man's face disappeared briefly, and then turned back to a look of anger.
"Why, you picked up two leftover dishes from another restaurant and came to trick me?"
"How dare you? You'll know once you taste it."
Looking at the delicious dishes one after another, the young man's handsome eyebrows relaxed and tightened, and finally he picked up the chopsticks.
"how?"
"Um……"
…
"Let's go... Ouch!"
The iron pot hit the edge of the stove heavily, and Xue An tried his best not to spill all the vegetables in the pot.
"Master Xue!"
Xue An gritted his teeth and picked up the iron pot with both hands. "Let's go! What's the next dish?"
With only one stove available, they had no choice but to give up all the dishes that required simmering and deep-frying, and only cooked stir-fry dishes, and tried to cook them in one pot.
But Xue An's arm strength was really difficult to control the largest iron pot in the kitchen, and he had to exert all his strength every time he flipped the spoon.
As soon as the pot of food was put away, Chen Dayou and several cooks with equally gloomy faces came back carrying large and small bags.
"Grandma, borrowing a stove from them is like trying to kill their own father!"
Agui on the side recalled what the shopkeeper said and probably understood why other restaurants were unwilling to help.
"Bah, we encountered such a strange thing on the first day we opened!"
After yelling and cursing, the new waiter and the cook all complained:
"I think this business is going to be bad."
"Is this place haunted? I've long thought..."
"Fortunately, I didn't sign a contract..."
"enough!"
Xue An roared loudly, causing a lot of sweat to fall from his forehead.
"There's no point in saying frustrating things! The shopkeeper paid you a day's wages, so just do a good day's work for me!"
The guys were shocked. They didn't expect that Master Xue, who looked gentle and gentle, would get so angry.
"All of you, take your money and materials separately and go to the four cities to see if there are any stalls open." Xue An roared again and gave a beautiful big turn, "We can't close early today, now
I will take care of the guests who are seated, and you, at least bring back a few simple cooking dishes! Agui——"
"I went to deal with the new customers, and they said that except for those few stir-fried dishes, all the dishes were sold out." Agui said calmly, pushing past the waiter and running to the front hall.
After receiving the order, the cooks immediately took action, hurriedly hanging all the ingredients, and rushed to the street with a staggering step, attracting passers-by's glances.
Xue An groaned, but the iron pot only moved up slightly disobediently, and with the help of his other hand, he completed a big turn.
"Eh?"
Xue An watched in surprise as Chen Dayou stood in front of him and took the pot handle.
"With the two taels of meat in your hand, can you move this pot?"
Master Chen's waist sank, his mouth bulged, and he turned the spoon again. "You take the spoon, I turn the pot, let's switch!"
Xue An was slightly startled and wiped his sweat.
"Okay, come!"
…
"I'm really sorry. I didn't expect so many people to show up today. We've prepared a lot of ingredients for just these signature dishes today. If you enjoy your meal, come back next time and we'll treat you well."
Welcoming guests in the front hall, Agui was busy walking around, sending away the scolding guests with a smile, welcoming new guests in, and persuading the noisy guests to be merciful.
Even so, 30% of his attention was focused on the young man wearing gold and silver.
The local clerk in the capital described him as a relative of the emperor. Agui had indeed never seen such a person, but he could only treat him as an ordinary guest.
Fortunately, this person did not curse anymore after seeing the dishes being served one by one, and tasted the dishes quietly, which was really confusing.
He was busy here when he saw the guys who were strutting through the market carrying various ingredients appeared again at the entrance of the alley.
"What? Didn't you find the stove?"
A young boy who had been staying in the kitchen ran with his face flushed and said out of breath: "No, yes, yes... the kitchen is in trouble!"
"ah?"
Agui watched with surprise and joy as the cooks ran to the kitchen carrying ingredients, shouting and cursing.
At the entrance of Yongde Alley, a handsome man with his hair in a bun glanced at Fengde Tower from afar, then turned and left.
