"Have you finished settling the bill?"
I took a tissue, wiped my mouth casually, and looked at Lu Bu who came back.
Lu Bu nodded, his expression very heavy.
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, brother, I just want to express my gratitude. Prices are really expensive in winter."
Lu Bu shook his head, with a wry smile on his face, a bit of heartache flashing in his eyes, and continued,
"Just this meal costs five spirit stones. To exchange for the original stones, it would cost ten!"
"So expensive?"
I frowned. Although I thought of the hotel open at this exchange meeting, the price was clearly marked and the payment was made with spirit stones. It didn't have to be cheap, but I didn't expect that the asking price was so high.
The fat man Wang Xiaohai's monthly salary seems to be only five spirit stones.
After all, Fatty Wang is also a minister, and his monthly salary is only enough for one meal? !
Is it still a public job that licks blood from the edge of a knife?
I thought of Wang Xiaohai's arm that was almost like a mummy. He tapped his fingers on the table and frowned more and more.
I already knew the value of spirit stones from Fatty Wang last time. This meal is just an ordinary hot pot. Even if it is the signature of some culinary family, it is only worth half a spirit stone!
"Don't think about it, Lao Chuan, they didn't blackmail us, this is their normal price."
Lao Sun drank the remaining soup in the pot, raised his head and said calmly.
"What's the meaning?"
I was startled when I heard this, and looked at the little Lolita Yinuo next to me, and saw that she also had an indifferent expression, as if she acquiesced.
Is it possible that there is anything else to say about this price?
"Let's put it this way, Lao Chuan, it's worth the price to be able to open a store now without the Zhao family's brand."
Lao Sun smiled calmly.
It dawned on me, but before I could say anything else, there was a cold snort.
"Hmph! What does the Zhao family mean? Isn't it just taking advantage of Senior Zhao's glory? He has the ability to compare with the younger generation. The younger generation. Apart from Senior Zhao, the Zhao family is just a paper tiger in the culinary world! "
A dissatisfied young male voice came, his words full of resentment and unwillingness.
Yo ho!
I was a little surprised. I looked up and saw a handsome young man wearing a chef's uniform and a chef's hat. He was making a dissatisfied statement and staring at Old Sun closely.
"I, the Qian family, in terms of inheritance and origin, are not many generations older than his Zhao family. Without Senior Chef Zhao, his Zhao family..."
"The Zhao family has Mr. Zhao, what does your Qian family have?"
Lao Sun took a tissue, wiped his mouth, and interrupted the young man with a calm expression.
"My Qian family has..."
The young man was stunned for a moment, then anger flashed in his eyes, but he opened his mouth, but couldn't spit out half of his life.
Without it, all the accomplished people in the Qian family, from ancient times to the present, would not be able to compare to Mr. Zhao.
"Hmph! It all depends on Mr. Zhao's support. At least, I, Mr. Qian, claim to be as good as any younger member of his Zhao family!"
The young man also reacted in time, hurriedly and cleverly changed the subject, and loudly introduced his name.
"Haha, is it just you?"
Lao Sun raised his eyes and looked up and down, his eyes full of contempt.
"Young Master Qian? I think if you were the same age, you wouldn't even have the hair on your legs compared to Mr. Zhao."
"you!"
"That's enough! Boy, come back, isn't it embarrassing enough?"
Qian Shaoshao's face suddenly turned red and full of anger. He went up to grab Lao Sun's collar, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he was severely reprimanded by a cold shout.
"It's frizzy and irritable! I went back and cut it a thousand times, but I don't even have the concentration!"
A chef pretending to be an old man scolded him angrily.
The chef's clothes are of the same style, but they look a little dated.
"Excuse me, Qiandu. I am the owner of this shop and the chef of this shop. This is my incompetent apprentice. He has offended several distinguished guests. I will make amends for you on his behalf."
The old man dressed as a chef turned around and bowed to us, but his eyes seemed to be fixed on Lao Sun's face.
"Qian Du is a member of the Qian family of the Twelve Family of Culinary Arts. He is also the current head of the Qian family. He is one of the few chefs who can fight with Grandpa's chef and cause trouble."
Little Loli Enoch glanced at it, and then said casually.
"I didn't notice that Zhao's granddaughter actually came here. Laochan's shop has just reopened and it's booming!"
Qian Du said calmly, but he only glanced at Yi Nuo slightly, and then focused his eyes on Lao Sun's face again.
"It's really flattering to say that they bring trouble. They are just a few old dogs who have racked their brains and energy to survive in the glory of Chef Zhao. Back then, we lost three to three in the kitchen fight. If it weren't for Chef Zhao, God is merciful, and my Qian family has ceased to exist long ago.”
Qian Du continued to look at Lao Sun calmly and said, as if devaluing himself as a dog had no effect on him.
"master!"
When Qian Shaoshao heard this, his face was sad and his eyes were red.
"Shut up! You have no right to speak!"
Lao Sun's hand holding the cup couldn't help shaking, and he looked at me calmly.
"Hey? Xiang Yu, Lu Bu, let's finish the check. After the check is done, let's go and go to the exchange meeting."
I quickly pretended to be stupid and turned a blind eye to Lao Sun's eyes.
joke!
At first glance, this old man is no simple thing!
Didn’t you see that the hot pot restaurant that was full of guests just now disappeared when the old man came out? !
"Lao Chuan, you..."
"Ah, Lao Sun, this grandpa has been looking at you. You must have known each other for a long time. I won't disturb you to reminisce about old times. Enoch, let's go."
I pretended to suddenly realize it, smiled at Lao Sun, held up little Loli Yinuo, winked at Xiang Yu and Lu Bu, and turned around to leave.
Ma Dan!
Lao Sun cursed in his heart, but remained calm on the outside.
Your uncle's! Lao Chuan, who suffered a thousand blows, labor and management are now your fault for being the successor to God of Cooking!
If it weren't for you, labor and management would be in such big trouble! !
I acted as if I had not seen him before, pretending that I could not see the sorrow and anger in Lao Sun's eyes, and stood up to leave.
Anyway, your grandson is not the best at escaping, so I'm worried about you!
Besides, Mr. Zhao is defeated by a mere old man, your grandson...
"The hot pot restaurants opened by the Qian family account for almost half of the restaurants in the country."
Little Loli Enoch pulled me and whispered.
Forehead……
What a coincidence.
It turns out to be your grandson's "natural enemy". It's okay. At worst, we can go to the other half's hot pot restaurant in the future!
"The other half of the hot pot restaurants are basically run by San family, and most of them will give you money to save face. Qian Du is a globally recognized hot pot master. He is second only to grandpa in hot pot."
Cough cough cough!
I was full of embarrassment inside, but on the outside I looked calm, still smiling slightly.
This, this is a coincidence, isn't it?
No big deal, no big deal, just don’t eat hot pot...
roll!
Lao Sun took the opportunity to give me a look and conveyed his meaning accurately.
If you, Lao Chuan, dare to abandon me, I will fight you to the death!
You don’t need labor or anything else, but you must have hot pot! !
"Brother, why don't you leave?"
The big man Xiang Yu looked confused.
Didn’t you say you won’t disturb your second brother’s reminiscing about old times? Brother, why can't you move your feet?
"Ahem."
I coughed a few times, smiled, pretended nothing happened, and sat back down with little Loli Enoch again.
Qian Shaoshao had a weird look in his eyes. If the teacher had told him to shut up, he would have definitely started to fight at him.
The pearl of the Zhao family was fooled by the pretty boy? !
Qian Du had a calm face, completely ignoring what was happening around him, and just stared at Old Sun.
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be Mr. Walker. It's been a long time since I last saw him."
Lao Sun forced a smile.
"Yes, yes, it's been a long time. I didn't expect you, Mr. Qian..."
"Mr. Xingzhe's feat of eating hot pot for three days and three nights seems like yesterday when I think about it now."
Lao Sun breathed a sigh of relief, with a big smile on his face.
Okay, okay, I can still joke.
It seems that he hasn't been directly blacklisted yet.
What a hell!
What the hell, you can just eat hot pot and meet the comeback Qiandu. Mad, I'm afraid I didn't read the almanac today. If I had known better, I wouldn't have come to this store! !
"It's not bad. If I hadn't heard the news that Chef Zhao Zhao had left, and given me eighty-two more courage, I, an old dog, wouldn't have dared to come back."
Qian Du had a calm look on his face, as if he could see what Lao Sun was thinking.
Lao Sun's smile froze.
grass!
He really made a comeback, news spreads so fast in the culinary world!
"Especially when I heard that before Chef Zhao left, he actually decided on a successor, Mr. Walker. This is really eye-opening!"
Lao Sun's smile was stiff, as if he was petrified.
Done!
"I have thought about it for a long time and have never connected Mr. Xingzhe, who loves hot pot like his life, with Chef Zhao. But I don't want to know the truth. I just heard that Chef Zhao left a recipe for Mr. Xingzhe?"
"What...what's the matter? Don't listen to people's nonsense?"
Lao Sun said with a forced smile.
"This news came from underground and was confirmed by a certain governor. I had no intention of fighting for it. I just planned to reopen the mountain gate. It is a gift from God."
Qian Du shook his head, looked calm, and continued to stare at Lao Sun closely and said,
"But I didn't expect that when I first opened my business, I met Mr. Xingzhe. It seems that both Mr. Xingzhe and the recipe are destined to be with me!
This is probably God's compensation for my hard life in the past few decades. It allows me to attend any exchange meeting or open a store, and I can encounter such fateful things. "
Lao Sun: "..."
"Although this move is ineffective, I am an old dog lingering on in the old days, so I don't need to care about my face. Perhaps, I may lose everything and be completely defeated.
But at this point in life, there should be no scruples. Mr. Xingzhe, I, Qian Du, the 135th generation descendant of the Qian family, am willing to use my body and shame to challenge the successor of Chef Zhao to a cooking battle! "
Qian Du had a calm look on his face and spoke every word. His voice was not loud, but it was sonorous and powerful and could not be rejected.
"Hahahahaha, yes, that's right, my master met someone from that company. Yes, it was at the exchange meeting. The kitchen bucket was just sent out, hurry up!"
Qian Shao Shao was overjoyed and could not stop talking on his mobile phone.
"That must be true. When did my Mr. Qian Shaoshao brag about it in the circle of friends? Come quickly, yes, bring your camera. Okay, okay. I will start the live broadcast in a while, okay."
"Hey, sister, it's me, yes, it's such a coincidence, hahahahaha, you're envious, I'm so lucky, come on, hang up first!"
"Is this a lie? It's more real than a pearl. The pearl of the Zhao family is here too. I'm not mistaken. I'm not blind. Okay, okay. Please inform people quickly. Hahaha, I haven't got it yet. Hold on, hold on!"
………
Qian Shaoshao held his mobile phone and laughed wildly with his hands on his hips. The phones rang one after another.
The corner of Lao Sun's mouth twitched and he silently turned his gaze to me.
I quickly turned my head away, pretending not to know anything, and just ate the ice cream in my hands with little Loli Enoch.
Watch the show and eat melon!
It’s none of my business!
