Cute Beast Food Garden

After Master Zhao returned to the restaurant, he seemed to have figured out the situation he was facing.With everyone's help, he slowly came out of depression and worry, and gradually adapted to life without Xiaobao by his side.

However, on the day when Master Qin sent Xiaobao away, Master Zhao was restless while cooking, and would often look out the window.The sky that day was also gloomy, the sunlight was blocked by layers of thick clouds, and there were occasional muffled thunder sounds passing through the clouds.

Si Dongmo walked in from outside the stove house, his hair and clothes were blown into a mess.

"got windy."

Inadvertently muttering, he saw the old man staring out of the window in a daze, remembering that this day was the day when Xiao Bao was sent to the veterinary hall.Patting Master Zhao on the shoulder, the man lowered his head and continued to do his work.

"what……?"

Suddenly, he felt some kind of small creature flashing past behind him, bringing a sudden coolness.He turned his head immediately, but there was nothing in the room.

"Is it my illusion?"

He muttered to himself, but the man didn't take it to heart, but continued to immerse himself in arranging the vegetables on the chopping board.

outside of restaurants.Under the small canopy set up by the snack window, Qi Yan in the form of a bird is still busy selling snacks.

Let the little bird be the mascot of the snack shop in the restaurant - this is exactly what Qi Yan himself meant.He persuaded Boss Lan and Si Dongmo, who was worried about him, that the fiery red bird packed the packages for the customers himself. This move looked funny and could attract more customers.

Sure enough, this worked out pretty well.A chubby little bird dumpling stood at the window and sold and packaged delicacies for people, which attracted the attention of people passing by on the street, and the sales of snacks in restaurants suddenly increased.

Some naughty children will take the opportunity to buy snacks and secretly reach out their little hands to stroke the fluffy body of the bird a few times.Most of their movements are very careful, they don't intentionally hurt the bird, they just playfully rub its soft belly or flick its thin tail feathers.

Although Qi Yan thought it was funny to be petted like a bird, but seeing the friendly smiles of the children, he also seriously played the role of a cute little bird mascot, showing cuteness and singing in his spare time , jumping, turning in circles, let them laugh and tease themselves.

But today, when Qi Yan was selling snacks as usual, he always felt that there was a dark gaze staring at him secretly, which made his hairs stand on end and made him a little uncomfortable.

Thanks to pecking the back of Nocturnal Bear's head with his sharp beak and stealing a cub's senses, his senses are now hyper-sensitive.However, after exploring around in his free time, he didn't find out who the person who was spying on him was.

This uncomfortable feeling lasted until noon that day——

"Hey, little fat bird, the snacks sold in your restaurant are poisonous!"

This sentence was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, echoing loudly on the street in front of the restaurant.

"Guji?"

The little bird tilted his head, and stared blankly at the man in front of him, his eyes full of doubts.

"Everyone, listen to me—" The man who suddenly appeared in the middle of the street yelled vigorously, and the customers queuing up to buy and the passing bystanders couldn't help but cast their eyes on him.I saw him wearing a simple white vest and shorts, dressed like a very ordinary country guy, with resentment written all over his face.

There was a young boy lying on the man's back.Seeing passers-by turning their heads, he held up his dying child and burst into tears: "The snacks sold in the Fourteen restaurant are poisonous! My baby bought a bag of baked potatoes and a bag of multi-flavored potatoes at his house last night. Peanuts, I ate less than two mouthfuls when I went back, and then I vomited and had a high fever!"

As he spoke, he held up the bag in his hand, which still contained unfinished baked potatoes and peanuts.Seeing this scene, the onlookers immediately gathered around and talked a lot.

"Ah, look at the packaging of this paper bag, these are really snacks sold in restaurants!"

"Yeah, can it be said that the food in the restaurant is really poisonous? The kid on his back really has a high fever, and his forehead is so hot!"

The man carried his son on his back, snotted and cried to the passers-by around him, and complained miserably about the sad experience of his precious son being poisoned by the snacks in the restaurant.

Qi Yan listened to the man's speech.Seeing the man dancing and gesticulating in the crowd from a distance, and vividly telling about his son's experience of being poisoned, he intuitively felt that this matter was a bit strange.

"Oops, what can I do with this?"

The cook who sells snacks with the bird dumplings is a little overwhelmed.This cook is newly hired by Boss Lan, he is still a young man, and he is very honest.He had never seen such a battle before, and when he saw the man carrying his son on his back, arguing and crying at the entrance of the restaurant, emphasizing to the passers-by that "the snacks in the restaurant are poisonous", he was anxious. Panicked again, he could only stammer and explain to the questioning crowd: "The snacks in restaurants are absolutely non-toxic, I, I can swear...!"

"You swear?" Hearing what he said, the man stepped forward aggressively, grabbed his clothes, his eyes were bigger than a copper bell, "You swear there is a fart! Look, you Take a good look—" He took his son off his back and stuffed it under the cook's nose, "My baby is sick like this, how dare you say it's not poisonous?"

"Hey, it's really not like that..."

The honest cook was almost made to cry by him, Xiaoniao Tuanzi really couldn't see it, so he climbed up the cook's clothes, and pecked the man's arm hard a few times.

"Ah! It hurts me to death!"

The little sharp beak used the woodpecker's favorite skill, and the man clutched his pecked arm, screaming in pain.He became even angrier, and leaped towards the little bird with big strides, but the little bird quickly and deftly hid behind the cook, slid along his clothes to the ground, and wobbled towards the restaurant to escape.

"Gurgling!"

Xiaotuanzi screamed into the room while running away.A tiny tuft of tail feathers dangled behind its chubby body.

At this time, the people in the restaurant also heard the noise outside, Boss Lan strode towards the door, Si Dongmo followed closely, and when he saw the bird, he immediately squatted down and hugged it stand up.

"Qi Yan, did that person hurt you?"

Seeing Xiaotuanzi fleeing in a hurry after being chased, Si Dongmo's face was gloomy, and the breath on his body was terribly cold.Xiaotuanzi shook his head, then pointed out the house with the tips of his wings.

There, when the man saw the boss coming forward, he seemed to be making a big fuss. He wanted to hold his son and put it in everyone's hands to see how Fourteen restaurants "poisoned" him into a high fever.

Si Dongmo carried Xiao Tuanzi into a corner, and made Qi Yan quietly transform into a human form.The man covered the youthful form with his tall body, and looked suspiciously at the door: "What is this man doing? Tossing his son around and showing it to others, is he really complaining about his son?"

"Looking at his appearance, he is definitely not here to seek justice." Qi Yan looked outside calmly, "Holding a sick child to sell miserably in front of others, and even making a scene, it can only be to find fault. Here we come."

They walked outside the house one after the other, Boss Lan was calming the emotions of the onlookers.He bowed his hands and said: "Fathers and elders, all the ingredients in my Fourteen restaurants are carefully preserved, and there is no possibility of contamination by external forces. The chefs must also clean up before cooking.

As for the 'poisoning' mentioned by this guest, it is even more impossible-there is no need for a restaurant to murder anyone's life, I have never met the guest officer, and I have no grievances with the son.Even if it is to deceive people, why use such a clumsy method to be seen through at a glance?

Ladies and gentlemen, a restaurant poisoning its ingredients is suicidal.The Fourteen Restaurant has been open in Luoxia Town for nearly four years, and it has always done things in an upright and aboveboard manner.I express my regret for your son's situation, and please don't panic this guest officer, the restaurant is willing to assist you to find out the truth of the matter. "

Boss Lan's words stunned the restless people present, and gradually calmed down.Indeed, the man's rowdy and tearful accusation just now was very provocative, and many people, out of sympathy for his simple appearance and his poor child, were "poisonous" about the restaurant he identified Convinced.

But now, Boss Lan gave a clear explanation, and hinted to people the possible doubts in the incident between the lines, timely controlling the direction of public opinion on the street.

Qi Yan applauded secretly, in this small town, rumors spread faster than anything else.If it is not stopped at the source, the damage to the reputation of the restaurant will be irreparable.

Afterwards, Boss Lan took the initiative to ask a clerk in the store to report the case to the Yamen, and asked Master Su, the supervisor of the Ministry of Punishment, to come and investigate.He said the words of guarantee in public, and then took the initiative to go to the snack stall, took some from the baked potatoes and peanuts sold, and swallowed them in his mouth.

"All the snacks sold in the restaurant are inspected and passed by the special person in the store. If it is poisonous, I will be poisoned and fall to the ground! Today, I guarantee my reputation that the food in the restaurant will never cause poisoning, and we will investigate it as soon as possible. fact!"

Boss Lan, who is usually gentle and refined, always speaks softly.But today, the matter involved the reputation of him and the restaurant he ran over the years. He was uncharacteristically serious, with a sonorous and forceful tone, and quickly stabilized the emotions of people inside and outside the store.

Then, he returned to the restaurant and briefly explained the situation to the customers sitting in the room.Most of the regular customers who eat dinner in the canteen of the restaurant are regular customers here. They have a full understanding of the restaurant’s food and the character of the boss, and they have spoken out to comfort Boss Lan and expressed their support. Some even took the initiative to stand up Help Boss Lan speak.

Some of them said to the man: "Boss Lan has been running a restaurant in the town for several years, and it is still not confirmed that your child is poisoned and sick because of eating potatoes and peanuts from the restaurant, so you hurried to the restaurant door." Make a big fuss. If it turns out that this matter has nothing to do with the restaurant, wouldn't you pollute people's innocence?"

Boss Lan was busy inside and out to appease people's emotions, and finally made a promise to the man in front of everyone that he would definitely give him justice.Thanks to his efforts, the passers-by who were watching turned from one-sided sympathy for the troublemaker to a wait-and-see attitude.

During this period, Qi Yan observed silently in the dark, and he found that the ordinary-looking man was actually very good at speaking, knew how to cry, incite emotions inadvertently, and spared no effort to show the sick child Show it to others.Among the onlookers, there were also some who responded strongly, and their words were mixed with doubts about the restaurant, embellished with embellishments, and provoked openly and secretly, which seemed extremely suspicious.

After finishing all this work, the people who watched the excitement gradually dispersed, and the man also temporarily left the entrance of the restaurant.Boss Lan finally got out of the crowd and walked back to the restaurant.He waved to Qi Yan and Si Dongmo who were watching secretly, and motioned them to follow him to the back room.

When he came to the secluded place, Qi Yan immediately clarified his opinion: "I think this matter is very suspicious. That man seems to be here to provoke trouble. You think, after a child is sick, a normal person will definitely invite him first. The doctor treats him. Who would carry his child who is still seriously ill and has a fever to the street to sell miserably?

Moreover, according to my observation, there are also his accomplices in the crowd who are helping him fan the flames, constantly spreading rumors and making people credulous.This matter seems to be more serious than ordinary money extortion, like an organized and premeditated behavior. "

"That's right, you and I thought about it together." Boss Lan nodded and said, "The man never mentioned the matter of asking the restaurant to pay the money. I don't think he came here entirely for money, but It’s about ruining the restaurant’s reputation.”

They were silent for a while, and Si Dongmo suddenly said, "Do you still remember the time when the beggar gang forcibly came to the restaurant to find fault? They surrounded the restaurant and made a big noise, which even alarmed the government. .”

After saying this, Qi Yan also remembered: "Yes - they deliberately made things difficult for us that time, asking us to make ten different types of pasta with vegetarian fillings in a short period of time, and it was also to show others that Fourteen restaurants Insufficient ability, unable to make the food they asked for, which made our store a joke and lost face."

The more he analyzed, the more Qi Yan felt that it made sense. He looked firmly into Boss Lan's eyes and said, "Boss Lan, I think these two incidents are the same. Inciting people among passers-by. The starting point of their troubles is neither for money nor for personal grievances, but to destroy the reputation of the restaurant!"

Boss Lan slapped his chin, showing a suddenly enlightened expression.

"I can probably guess who it is. The mastermind behind these troublemakers."

Qi Yan and Si Dongmo looked at each other.

"I guessed it too."

"Me, me too."

The three looked at each other and said a name at the same time.

"Yuanshan Restaurant!"
