Chapter 35: Coming to Ruin the Place

Manager Fang stood at the door and watched for a long time. Many people went to Zui Xiang Lou. He called the waiter and pointed at the red paper posted at the door of Zui Xiang Lou: "Go and see what's going on."

"Yeah! I'll go right away." The waiter ran to the door of Zui Xiang Lou, saw the notice clearly, and smelled the fragrance wafting out. He wanted to run in and order a dish to taste.

He wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and ran back to Fengwei Lou.

"How is it?" Manager Fang asked hurriedly.

The waiter rubbed his nose, but the lingering fragrance still did not subside. He glanced at the restaurant opposite and said, "Manager Fang, Zui Xiang Lou hired a great chef. Even though I was outside, I was tempted by the smell of the dishes coming from inside. They are also very smart. If you order a certain amount of money, they will send the cheapest dish among the dishes you ordered."

"Will our restaurant's business be taken away by Zui Xiang Lou?" The waiter couldn't help but worry and said, "Why don't we learn from them?"

Manager Fang snorted coldly, very disdainful: "Crooked ways! We rely on our skills to attract business, you just wait, they will be deserted in a few days, and no customers will come!"

The waiter said "Oh" and left worriedly.

Manager Fang stood at the door and stared at Zui Xiang Lou, thinking that before their restaurant opened, Zui Xiang Lou had the best business. He poached all the chefs from Zui Xiang Lou, but only Jiang Baiwei refused to come.

He didn't force it, Jiang Baiwei's cooking skills couldn't support a restaurant.

Fengweilou opened for only a few days, and it took over all the business of Zuixianglou.

Shopkeeper Fang felt uneasy, and remembered what the waiter said, and decided to trample Zuixianglou into the mud before they could turn over.

He called his nephew to go to Zuixianglou to make trouble.

——

Zuixianglou has eight stoves, one stove for boiling soup, one stove for stewing, and one stove for steaming rice. The other five stoves have a chef, and now there is only Jiang Baiwei, and the others are all idle.

Today, the guests are full, and Su Wan uses all the other stoves.

Jiang Baiwei knows his own limitations and cuts vegetables on the side.

Gu Jingyun, Gu Baozhu, and Gu Huaizhi help wash the vegetables.

Shopkeeper Xu stood at the door of the kitchen and saw Su Wan shoveling the spatula like flying, sweating profusely, and finishing all the dishes by himself, and his heart was relieved.

"All the dishes are out of the pot, you can rest for a while."

Shopkeeper Xu poured Su Wan a cup of tea.

Su Wan took the dishes out of the pot, raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and drank the tea in one breath: "No customers ordering dishes?"

"I didn't answer. The restaurant has to hire a few more cooks. You are too tired alone." Shopkeeper Xu was very conscientious. He watched the waiter take all the dishes out, invited Su Wan to sit down at the counter, and handed her the contract with a smile: "I have drafted the contract. Take a look. If there is no problem, you can sign it."

Su Wan opened the contract. The original 30% bonus became 40%. She looked at the shopkeeper in surprise.

"This is what you deserve. The restaurant has come back to life because of you. If it weren't for you, I would have planned to close it next month." Shopkeeper Xu looked at Fengweilou opposite and said with a wry smile: "Competitors are enemies. Fengweilou didn't plan to give me a way out."

He was particularly grateful to meet Su Wan!

Su Wan was about to speak when a man came in from outside and put the wooden basin in his hand on the counter with a "bang". The fish in it jumped up and down, splashing water.

Fang Wuqiong threw a silver ingot on the table and said, "Make this fish into a dish of West Lake vinegar fish for me."
