“We have too many dishes here. You can order first. If the chef says there’s nothing left, I’ll come back and let you know.”
The waiter was frightened by Zhao Zhan’s imposing manner and his attitude became slightly better. However, when he spoke, he looked around and his voice was light as if he found it troublesome.
Zhao Zhan looked at the menu hanging on the wall.
Kelai Xiang was actually selling beef.
The government had never allowed commoners to slaughter cows in private unless the cow was about to die of old age and could be killed after reporting to the chief or the government.
“I’d like a plate of beef, crispy duck, fried eggs, mixed vegetables, and a ginseng chicken soup,”
He quickly listed a few dishes.
“Are you here to cause trouble?” The waiter suddenly became angry and looked at Zhao Zhan from the corner of his eyes. “Our Kelai Xiang beef is only on sale on the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, and the crispy duck is only on sale for two hours a day. What time do you think it is now?”
” I have scrambled eggs and vegetables, but as for ginseng chicken soup, ” he said, looking at Zhao Zhan from head to toe. “Ginseng is very expensive. This soup is ten silver a pot. Would you like some?”
By the time he finished speaking, Zhao Zhan’s face had already sunk.
It was obviously the waiter who was looking for trouble.
Zhao Zhan took a step forward in a towering rage, reached out, and grabbed the waiter’s collar, lifting him off the ground. “Since there are so many restrictions on a meal, why didn’t you write it down? If you want to rest after mealtime and don’t want to entertain the guests, you can hide and don’t do this job. Are you happy with your own attitude?”
This was the foot of Huai County.
There was actually such a reckless person who would attack just like that?
The waiter’s face was ashen as he begged for mercy, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I really didn’t do it on purpose. Sir, please spare me. ”
He was just slow because he heard this man’s accent and knew that he was from another place. He didn’t expect to get into trouble with such a tough guy!
“M-manager! Please save me!”
The waiter’s legs flapped in the air. When the guests of Kelai Xiang saw the commotion, they paid their bills and ran away for fear of being affected.
The shopkeeper of Kelai Xiang heard the wails and howls and hurriedly came in from the backyard. When he saw his nephew being picked up, he quickly walked up to him and cupped his hands in greeting. “I don’t know what mistake he has made to make you so angry. I’m the manager of this shop, and I apologize on his behalf.”
Seeing that the person in charge had arrived, Zhao Zhan casually threw his assistant to the side and said, “Your staff doesn’t respect people. I only taught him something.”
“Uncle! He wanted to eat beef and crispy duck. I only told him that if he couldn’t eat it, he should leave!” The waiter was thrown to the ground and rolled behind the shopkeeper. He shouted, “He was rude first. We’ll report it to the authorities! Sue him for assault!”
“You should shut up!”
The manager scolded in a low voice.
How could he not know what kind of person his nephew was? Usually, he had eyes on top of his head and only knew how to curry favor with the powerful. He did not expect to kick an iron plate this time.
“I think you must be hungry. How about this? We really can’t have beef and crispy duck today. It just so happens that we have a new dish, and the dish isn’t ready yet, so it’s not hung on the wall. How about I ask the kitchen to make one for you?”
Yue Jiaojiao, who had been protected behind Zhao Zhan all this while, suddenly asked, “What new dish?”
After seeing her appearance clearly, the shop assistant was so stunned that he couldn’t close his mouth.
