Siheyuan: A blessed place to start

In the Champagne Restaurant, Lou Xiao'e and Sha Zhu have been discussing matters concerning the competition, which concerns the reputation of the restaurant.

They have been cheated once, and if they can't stand up again this time, they will be in real trouble.

Rent, water, electricity, and personnel expenses all require a large amount of cash every day. If the restaurant business does not pick up after the competition, Lou Xiao'e will not do this losing business.

Shazhu's feelings for the restaurant are even deeper than Banggeng's. He has been working here since the first day the restaurant opened. It has been such a long time until now that even a robot would have feelings for it.

Seeing that Zui Xiang Lou's business was very booming, Sha Zhu also became anxious.

"General Manager, from what I've observed, everything downstairs has been normal these past few days. Yesterday, a man wearing a gentleman's hat looked suspicious, so I simply followed him upstairs. Later, I investigated and asked around his home, but didn't find anything major."

Listening to Dachengzi's report, Xiao Weiguo nodded in agreement.

"Where are those in the kitchen?"

"Hiss... Kitchen..."

Hmm? Something's wrong?

Xiao Weiguo thought he had found a breakthrough when he heard Dachengzi's slightly suspicious words!

"I checked everyone, including the kitchen helper, and found nothing suspicious. Either they disguised themselves too well, or they are not bad people."

Dachengzi tried his best to investigate, but in the end he found nothing.

This made him a little discouraged.

He was entrusted to do something for Xiao Weiguo, but he didn't find out anything. He always felt uneasy these days, as if someone was hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity.

Xiao Weiguo breathed a sigh of relief. He never thought that the person behind him was hiding so deeply.

Isn't it just a cooking competition?

As for?

Is this a life-threatening rhythm?

"Dachengzi, you don't have to worry about this matter. Just stay in the restaurant from now on."

"Boss Xiao, but the grandson behind this hasn't been found yet!"

"Don't worry. The fox will eventually show its tail. We can't just sit there and wait for him to fall into our trap! Inform the kitchen staff that the crisis is over and let them do what they need to do. There's no need to keep an eye on the front desk staff. Just wait for him to come!"

Xiao Weiguo had no choice but to do so. Since the Fox had not shown up yet and the game time was getting closer, he could only send the ball outside and tighten the ball inside to give the Yin-Yang man a chance to take advantage.

How can you fish if you don’t give people time to commit crimes?

Although Dachengzi didn't quite understand why he did this, he nodded silently and did as he was told. Xiao Weiguo's words were military orders to him, and he also believed that there must be a reason for doing so.

These days, the restaurant's customer base has been less affected by the restaurant across the street. Chef Wang and his apprentices have been researching several dishes in the kitchen.

These new dishes were specially prepared for the competition. Although the confidentiality was done to the utmost, in Xiao Weiguo's opinion it was far from enough!

There are a total of thirty-five staff members in the entire restaurant, including those in the kitchen!

Among these thirty-five people, except for a few people who knew Di Kao very well, there were several other newcomers whose names he couldn't even remember. Xiao Weiguo didn't trust such people at all.

Who knows what is hidden behind that kind smile!

These days even mice are paying New Year's greetings to cats, so it's better to be cautious.

It was past eight o'clock in the evening. The guests in the restaurant were gradually leaving, and the cleaning in the kitchen was almost finished.

"Hey, what kind of year is this? Although it is almost the end of the year, we don't have to stay at home and eat reunion dinners. Why is business getting worse day by day?"

Aunt Li, one of the older waitresses, couldn't help but sigh as she swept the floor. Although she was just expressing her feelings, she didn't have any bad intentions.

But it makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

Dachengzi suddenly stood up, sat up silently from his chair and glanced at Aunt Li.

After these days of investigation, Dachengzi has become not only suspicious but also extremely suspicious.

There is no trust in anyone!

"Aunt Li, I don't like what you said. Our restaurant is one of the best in this street. If our business is not good, then others can only be worse!" Wang Shurong is such a smart man. He realized something was wrong and quickly tried to make amends.

Seeing him take up the conversation, Aunt Li realized that she had said the wrong thing. She looked around and couldn't help but slap herself in the face.

The people nearby couldn't help laughing when they saw this, "Aunt Li, don't be nervous. There are only a few of us in the hall right now, no outsiders! We won't tell the boss and the boss's wife, don't worry!"

Aunt Li smiled awkwardly, pouted her lips, and prayed silently in her heart that the boss upstairs would not hear her. She was just causing trouble for herself by saying that.

The people downstairs were afraid that they would be affected, so they finished their work and quickly found somewhere else to work.

The store was about to close, and after Wang Shurong checked all the affairs of the restaurant, everyone began to pack up and prepare to go off work.

Only the kitchen was busy.

Xiao Weiguo stretched in the office, then went downstairs to take a look at the kitchen.

In fact, he didn't care much about this game.

It's just a title!

Besides, this is the first time that the Chefs Association has held a competition. Both the competition system and the preparation of the contestants are not so comprehensive. The original intention is just to win a prize and gain a reputation.

But he didn't expect that the sinister person behind the scenes kept causing trouble, which also aroused his desire to win.

"Ah... Hello, General Manager!"

A young waiter packed his things and walked out with his bag on his back. He ran into Xiao Weiguo at the stairs and was so nervous that he didn't know what to do for a moment.

Even his speech was stuttering!

This also made Xiao Weiguo a little embarrassed.

I touched my beard subconsciously and felt very good about myself.

"Am I that scary? You look at me as if you've seen a ghost. I can't be that scary!"

Xiao Weiguo teased half-jokingly, and the waiter looked at Aunt Li shyly, feeling a little guilty about what had just happened!

"No, nothing, General Manager. I'm off work. See you tomorrow!"

With that said, he ran away in small steps, and the people behind him waved goodbye to Xiao Weiguo one after another, but each of them looked like a thief, feeling guilty!

"See you tomorrow, General Manager!"

"stop!"

Wang Shurong lowered her head and wanted to take the opportunity to slip away. She didn't even dare to breathe, for fear of being stopped by Xiao Weiguo, but she was stopped anyway.

"General Manager, do you have anything to do? If not, I'll leave first. My child is waiting for me at home. I'll come to work early tomorrow. See you tomorrow!"

Having said that, Wang Shurong also ran away dejectedly.

This made Xiao Weiguo even more confused. Why are you all running if there is nothing wrong?

"Old Wang, do you know what happened to them? They all ran away when they saw me! No, am I that scary?"

Xiao Weiguo was talking while shining a light on the wine bottle. Although it was a little blurry, the back was so handsome!

No flaws, no problems!

"Hey. You think too much. They keep talking all day long. They must have said something they shouldn't have said. They're afraid you'd hear them and scold them! Aren't they all running away in shame?"

Although Lao Wang doesn't talk much, he has a sharp eye. Even from five meters away, he could notice that his young apprentice had put one spoonful less of salt.

So awesome!
