Chapter 159: Poisoning
"Is today's food to your liking?"
Xu Yiyi asked with a smile. In the past, the dishes she made at the stall were mostly heavy in flavor.
Today's dishes are much lighter.
I don’t know if diners who are used to eating here can get used to it.
"It's more than good, but the ingredients alone are top-notch. I know your cooking skills. Although it's light, the fish doesn't smell fishy at all, and the meat is tender."
Qingshan turned around and gestured to Jiuya to praise him.
"These meatballs are delicious, chewy and sweet. I'm not a good eater. When I eat fish at home, your Uncle Qingshan always picks out the fish bones for me. It's never satisfying at all. This time, eating this fish ball soup finally satisfies me."
Jiuya said this and immediately stuffed another meatball into her mouth, proving her love with practical actions.
"Okay, go do your thing."
Qingshan waved his hand, and Xu Yiyi didn't even feel comfortable sitting in the chair.
I walked around the private room on the second floor.
Finally, we chatted a little more in Fang Zhiyi's private room.
"You've been quite flamboyant today, coming in dressed in your official uniform and accompanied by so many people. This isn't like you."
Xu Yiyi looked at him in confusion. Fang Zhiyi usually had a very low-key image.
He was not particular about his clothes. According to Lin Ke, the longest time Fang Zhiyi had worn a set of clothes was seven years.
It’s not that he doesn’t have the money to buy it, but he has been used to keeping a low profile after serving as an official for many years.
"This isn't to support you. Once I come in, everyone in town will know that Wufu Restaurant has the support of me, the county magistrate. Naturally, no one will dare to cause trouble."
Fang Zhiyi was actually not used to it, but he wanted to repay Xu Yiyi for saving his life.
It doesn’t really matter.
"But even if I give you convenience, you can't use my power to do evil, otherwise I won't be able to protect you."
Fang Zhiyi quickly reminded him again.
He was also afraid that Xu Yiyi would take advantage of his position to bully others, even though Lin Ke said he was not.
Xu nodded slightly, "I'm curious, what's the matter with the poison in your body?"
She is very curious.
Fang Zhiyi had been awake for half a month, but she still didn't know why he was poisoned.
"It's just the evil deeds of those bastards in the county town."
Lingxi County is quite special. The county magistrate actually spends very little time in the county seat.
Over the years, I have mostly stayed in Ping'an Town, an economic fortress.
Because of this reason, some officials in Lingxi County neglected their duties, plundered the people's wealth, and exploited the common people.
Fang Zhiyi was poisoned this time because he returned to the county town for inspection. The officials were worried that the matter would be exposed, so they resorted to poisoning him.
Fortunately, Mr. Wu was there, and fortunately Xu Yiyi and Zhong Congyun sent back the antidote in time.
Otherwise, it would really be as those people wished.
……
However, there is no need to tell Xu Yiyi about these official matters.
Xu Yiyi understood and didn't ask any further questions.
Come down from the second floor with a wine glass.
At this time, the lobby was full of people. Xu Yiyi took a look around and found that most of them were customers who used to like to eat at Xu Yiyi's stall.
Looking closely, I saw Mr. Wu in the corner.
"Why don't you go up here?"
……
"The private room is quiet and no one will disturb you."
Mr. Wu listened and waved his hands. "Silence is the most boring. Sitting in the lobby is so lively. I can only drink when I listen to them talking. Drinking alone doesn't count as drinking."
Mr. Wu said this while taking a sip of wine.
"You have a good skill. If you do it well, you will definitely make a lot of money in the future."
Mr. Wu was drunk and suddenly said this to Xu Yiyi.
It’s good to make a lot of money, and she likes it very much.
Xu Yiyi's wish is so simple, to make more money and live a good life for himself and his siblings.
After walking around the lobby, Xu Yiyi's face was almost broken with laughter.
When he was standing at the door to sober up, he happened to see Hong Gang staring at him with jealousy on his face.
There were only a few people looking at his Ruyi Residence.
Xu Yiyi suddenly laughed again.
"Boss Hong, why don't you come in and sit down? I'm open today, and all customers who come in to eat will get a discount."
Hong Gang forced a smile.
"That's not necessary. I have business to do."
Hong Gang said this stubbornly, then walked in with his sleeves swung.
"He's lying. His restaurant is empty. He might as well close it and come to your place to have some delicious food."
Song Guanqin walked up to Xu Yiyi with a bowl in hand.
"Who knows, maybe there will be one soon."
Xu Yiyi patted his head and said, "Don't walk around while eating fish, or you'll get a fish bone stuck in your throat."
Song Guanqin felt comfortable after Xu Yiyi patted her head, and said with a smile.
"I ordered fish ball soup. The fish on the chopsticks was cleaned of bones so they wouldn't get stuck. Unless your fish balls weren't cleaned of bones. Did you do that?"
Song Guanqin raised his head and asked back.
"Boy, Boss Xu doesn't need to answer this, I'll tell you."
……
Someone among the guests started talking.
"Then tell me, did you go clean?"
Song Guanqin held the bowl and walked closer to the customer.
"Needless to say? Boss Xu's cooking skills are impeccable. There isn't a single bone in the fish balls. Not to mention a child this age, even my two-year-old son can eat them."
The guest pointed to the child on the children's chair.
The little fat boy sat on the children's chair specially made by Amin, eating with a spoon in his hand and enjoying the food with relish.
"Yes, these fish balls don't even have a single bone. They're suitable for both adults and children. You should come and patronize Boss Xu's business more often in the future!"
Song Guanqin nodded and left contentedly.
Xu Yiyi smiled after most of the guests had left.
The guests in the private room also came down one after another.
She specifically instructed Sihai not to charge for the private room that Fang Zhiyi and Qingshan Jiuya were staying in.
The Zhong family didn't say anything, Sihai just collected the money as usual.
Ma Rongjuan was indeed unhappy.
"Where's your eldest sister? Ask her to come out and have a good talk. After all, our two families are related by marriage. Why are you charging money for a meal at your place? Isn't that taking advantage of your acquaintances?"
Ma Rongjuan slammed the counter, and Zhong Congyun quickly pulled her behind him when he saw this.
"It's okay, it's okay. No need to look for your sister. I'll pay for it."
As he said this, Zhong Congyun prepared to take out the money.
Sihai said with a chubby face, "Business is not charity. We are here to make money. If you come back and eat for free every time, how can we make money?"
The child was not even as tall as the counter, and was standing on a small stool, with only half of his body exposed.
He spoke very seriously and solemnly.
Lao Lu looked at the scene and went straight to the backyard to call for help.
Xu Yiyi came over and looked at them coldly, "Si Hai, today is our first day of business, so it wouldn't hurt to give us some discounts."
As Xu Yiyi spoke, Sihai snorted coldly.
Zhong Congyun wanted to pay, but Sihai turned his head away and ignored him.
After coming out of Wufu Restaurant, Zhong Xiang kept saying that he regretted bringing Ma Rongjuan out.
Ma Rongjuan was so angry that she almost died because she didn't have time to be happy after getting the advantage.
