Words must die [Comprehensive martial arts]

The speed of liquidation by the guests was faster than Gu Shenyan expected.

But this is also something that can't be done.

Because most of the dishes that Lu Xiaofeng ordered were relatively difficult, and it took a lot of time to cook each dish, and Gu Shenyan only had two hands, so the speed of cooking would definitely not be able to keep up with the speed of the guests' eating.

Fortunately, the guests were very patient. Not only did they not urge them loudly while waiting for the dishes, they also specially asked Lu Xiaofeng to go to the kitchen to spread the word, saying that everyone could understand his difficulties and told him not to worry, just take his time.

Gu Shenyan was very pleased with this, and decided to add two more of his special dishes as feedback.

This was a pleasant surprise.

Everyone who heard the news from Lu Xiaofeng showed anticipation on their faces.

Hua Ruling, whose taste buds have been conquered by Buddha Tiaoqiang and lychee meat, couldn't help asking Lu Xiaofeng and the others: "Do you know what special dishes Boss Gu has?"

Of all the people present, only Hua Ruling and his wife visited this store for the first time.

Everyone else counts as regular customers.

But when this question was raised, their responses were very consistent——

Lu Xiaofeng: "I only know that brother Gu is not very good at making sweets..."

Hua Manlou: "Except for sweets, Boss Gu seems to be able to cook all kinds of dishes?"

Sikong Zhaixing: "And the cooking is very good, not at all inferior to the royal chef in the palace!"

The answers of other people are similar. After all, there is only one meaning.

——Boss Gu's cooking skills are top-notch, no matter what he cooks, it is super delicious, and people can't tell which dish he is best at.

Hua Ruling: "..."

OK.

Then he will wait and see.

Gu Shenyan didn't keep the guests waiting, and soon, other dishes were served on the table one after another.

Braised shark fin with bright apricot yellow color has a soft, glutinous and smooth taste, and a mellow and delicious taste. Just one bite can make people want to stop, and the aftertaste is endless.

There are also three silk fish rolls.

This dish is steamed with shredded ham, bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms and other ingredients wrapped in herring fillets. Just the right amount of saltiness.

The fish rolls on the outer layer are tender, juicy, smooth and delicious, and the three shreds inside also have their own characteristics. The mushrooms are flexible and elastic, the bamboo shoots are crisp and delicious, the ham is dry and chewy, and the taste is rich and layered. People bring surprises.

Sauce elbow and Jiuzhuan Dachang are the favorites of Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manting.

The rich color, crispy and mellow sauced elbow, and the attractive ruddy color, extremely rich taste, both salty, sweet, sour and spicy, and unusually salty and fresh, fat but not greasy Jiuzhuan large intestine, are definitely a favorite of every taster. An irresistible delicacy for meat lovers.

Chewing slowly is elegant, but eating meat requires big mouthfuls to be refreshing!

Dongpo pork, braised bamboo shoots in oil, Yipin tofu, anchovy shrimp...

There are more than 30 dishes in total, and each dish is delicious in color, fragrance and taste, integrating local flavors and various cooking methods. One can imagine the richness of this meal.

Hua Manting's food intake reached a new high.

Not counting dishes, I ate seven bowls of rice alone.

Hiccups at the end.

Of course, the others were not much better off.

They are more or less overwhelmed.

Gu Shenyan prepared tea for digestion in advance, and after Baozi and Yidianhong finished clearing the table, they immediately brought it over.

By the way, I received a lot of compliments.

Everyone loves to hear nice words, and Gu Shenyan is no exception, but he won't get carried away just because of a few compliments, and his overall mentality is still very stable.

Until Hua Manting suddenly spoke——

"I heard that you still lack a deputy here, I, hiccup...can I apply?"

While hiccupping, this brother said intermittently: "You don't need to pay me, as long as you provide three meals a day, hiccup... let me do a free job!"

It sounded like a joke at first glance.

But his eyes and tone are very sincere.

Gu Shenyan had to doubt that as long as he dared to nod, Hua Manting would really dare to come to him as a cook.

To be honest, Gu Shenyan's heart fluttered for a moment.

I just want to know how the rest of the Hua family, especially the old man of the Hua family, will react after I agree.

That scene must be very lively :)

But he eventually gave up on the plan.

After all, there must be a degree of bad taste and so on. If Hua Ruling, who is nearly seventy years old, gets angry, his crime will be serious.

"Brother Hua is willing to come to the store to apply, it is naturally an honor for the store, but I'm sorry—"

Gu Shenyan was thinking about it, but his face was indifferent.

He explained to the disappointed Hua Manting: "Because of some personal reasons, this store may not continue to operate in the future, so I'm afraid I will disappoint you."

In the next few years, Gu Shenyan will focus on rebuilding Chunyang Palace and studying martial arts.

Cough cough, maybe there will be some free time to get out of the order.

All in all, this store will definitely not be able to continue to operate.

Naturally, there is no need to hire any assistants.

"...?!"

Hua Manting was a little confused.

After reacting, the whole person is not well.

"Then, won't I never eat the food you cook again?"

He looked at Gu Shenyan pitifully, and he didn't know whether it was because of the hiccup or the shock, his eyes were even a little red, and he looked like he was about to cry.

Scared, Gu Shenyan quickly said: "That's not the case. I just don't intend to continue to open a shop and do business. I didn't say I would give up my hobby of cooking. If I have time, I will definitely invite you to visit me."

After getting a satisfactory answer, Hua Manting immediately put away that expression of 'wanting to cry'.

Then he picked up the teacup and took a sip gracefully.

After tasting, he commented as if nothing had happened: "This tea is not bad, and I feel less full immediately after drinking it."

Gu Shenyan: "..."

I feel a little complicated.

Speech is also mixed with a little dumbfounding.

Never thought that he would be played by others one day...

Fortunately, apart from Hua Manting, everyone else's reactions to Gu Shenyan's closing of the store were normal, they just expressed regret, and even Lu Xiaofeng, who was most curious, didn't delve into the reason.

This surprised Gu Shenyan a little.

……

Half an hour later, Gu Shenyan, who had sent off the Hua family, turned and went back to the backyard, intending to change clothes, but was blocked by Lu Xiaofeng at the door.

Gu Shenyan's first reaction was that Lu Xiaofeng's curiosity flared up again, and he wanted to come to him and ask him the reason for closing the store.

But he quickly overturned this guess.

Because the expression on Lu Xiaofeng's face looked serious.

"Brother Gu, there is something I want to discuss with you. It is related to the trouble that Monkey Spirit has caused this time."

Gu Shenyan raised his eyebrows, and asked him why he didn't wait until Sikong Zaixing came back to discuss it together.

Sikong Zhaixing left after dinner, and before he left, he went to the kitchen to say hello to Gu Shenyan, saying that he had something to do and he would be back in the evening at the latest.

It's only an hour or two, could it be that Lu Xiaofeng couldn't wait any longer?

Lu Xiaofeng shrugged and said that he really couldn't wait.

Because he suddenly wanted to understand something.

"I couldn't figure out why those men in black retreated so quickly..."

The skills of that group of people are indeed formidable, all of them have the level of second-rate masters, relying on the advantage of having a large number of people, they can suppress Lu Xiaofeng.

But that's about it.

Lu Xiaofeng is still a top-notch expert, if he really wants to get away, or if he wants to stop one or two people, it should be no difficulty.

But that group of people happened to run away right under his nose.

... To be honest, Lu Xiaofeng has always been worried about this.

I just feel that something is not right.

"You think so, purely because you are not reconciled?" Gu Shenyan couldn't help complaining: "After all, it's quite embarrassing to talk about it, and it caused you to be laughed at by Sikong Zhaixing."

Lu Xiaofeng immediately retorted with staring eyes: "Don't talk nonsense! I'm not that kind of person!"

Although being ridiculed by the dead monkey spirit made him a little upset, he didn't want to worry about it... After all, they always hurt each other like this. Today you laugh at me, and tomorrow I laugh at you. A little cheap, no one will really take it to heart.

As for face or something, it doesn't matter.

After all, he, Lu Xiaofeng, traveled the rivers and lakes mainly relying on his ingenuity, and secondly on martial arts.

It is not a shame for him to admit that his martial arts are not that good.

Gu Shenyan... Gu Shenyan also convinced him.

To be able to talk about thick skin so freshly and refinedly, Lu Xiaofeng is probably the only person in the world.

After 'persuading' Gu Shenyan, Lu Xiaofeng continued to analyze.

"My intuition has always been accurate."

So after feeling something was wrong, he kept replaying the scene in his mind repeatedly, and finally found out that it was tricky.

The leader of the group of men in black, before giving the order to retreat, glanced in the direction of Sikong Zhaixing's escape.

Lu Xiaofeng didn't think much about it at the time.

Or in other words, taking it for granted.

He thought that the other party was confirming the location of Sikong Zhaixing's escape, so that he could continue to track down Sikong Zhaixing's whereabouts.

But thinking about it afterwards, Lu Xiaofeng realized that there was another possibility for the other party's actions——

What the leader was looking at might not be the direction in which Sikong Zaixing was escaping, but the location of Gu Shenyan's shop.

Gu Shenyan wanted to complain again.

He had reason to suspect that Lu Xiaofeng wanted to blame himself.

Yes, he is now somewhat famous in the Jianghu, but it is too exaggerated to scare people away by relying on fame.

After all, he is not a swordsman with a "great record" like Xue Yiren. His reputation seems to be great, but in fact his influence is very limited, probably less than one-tenth of Xue Yiren's.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people in the world who dared to ask him to fight.

But before Gu Shenyan couldn't help but complain, Lu Xiaofeng presented the 'evidence'.

"The change in the attitude of that group of people before and after is actually very obvious."

In order to catch Sikong Zhaixing, the group of men in black spent a lot of effort, chasing and intercepting him, using almost all means.

That posture is obviously not going to give up easily if the goal is not achieved.

Seeing Sikong Zhaixing running far away, he immediately gave up the pursuit?

This is simply not in line with their previous style of conduct.

He couldn't figure it out before, just because the authorities were confused, and then reconsidered from the perspective of a bystander, doubts naturally surfaced.

What is there to say?

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

And if you rule out the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how unbelievable, must be the truth.

——They were afraid of Gu Shenyan.

Because they knew about Gu Shenyan's existence and even had some understanding of Gu Shenyan's strength, they were afraid of him. They knew that once they confronted him head-on, there would be no room for resistance. That's why they withdrew so quickly. No hesitation.

This was the only possible and reasonable conclusion that Lu Xiaofeng came to after a lot of analysis.

After listening to this analysis, Gu Shenyan did not express his opinion immediately.

Instead, he frowned, as if thinking about something.

After a while, he suddenly asked Lu Xiaofeng: "You said that this group of people claim to be the subordinates of Mr. Bat?"

Lu Xiaofeng nodded.

"The title sounds familiar... but I can't remember where I heard it."

Gu Shenyan's brows did not loosen.

Because at a certain moment, his intuition also gave him an early warning.
