Chapter 412 Anger
Xu Qing's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said happily: "Ke Ling, thank you!"

After saying that, he quickly closed his eyes again and thought about how to cook the dish.

Ke Ling was confused and scratched her head in bewilderment.

Did she do anything?
But it's always a good thing to be able to help Xu Qing.

The time of a stick of incense is neither long nor short.

At least for the four people waiting in the hall, this time was long enough.

The leader was resting with his eyes closed, but suddenly he opened his eyes and said, "It's time. Jinghua, ask Xu Qing to bring the dishes. If he hasn't finished, he loses."

Jinghua sighed, "I understand. I'll go find him."

"No need to look for it."

Suddenly a clear voice was heard.

I saw Xu Qing walking towards me slowly, carrying a large plate.

The plate is covered with a lid to block out the food and aroma inside.

Xu Qing carefully placed the plate on the table and said, "Sorry to have kept you waiting. The dishes are ready."

The four of them looked at the plates in front of them, and no one picked up their chopsticks.

The man in the lead carefully observed Xu Qing's expression, but could not see any flaws on his face.

There was no anxiety, no fear, not even the joy and pride of victory.

This made it impossible for him to judge how well the dish was cooked.

The girl took the chopsticks and tapped the ceramic table lid gently, making a pleasant sound.

She looked at Xu Qing and asked, "I hope you didn't do something stupid like putting four dishes on one plate. After all, we ordered one dish, not four."

Xu Qing smiled and said, "Don't worry, there is only one dish on the plate."

The boy looked around the plate curiously, sniffing the scent, "I smell it, it's the aroma of chicken."

The leader smelled it and asked, "What about bitterness and sweetness?"

The boy shook his head, indicating that he didn't smell it. "The lid is closed too tightly, and the fragrance is locked inside."

Xu Qing said: "Since everyone wants to smell the aroma of the dishes, let me open the lid."

After saying that, Xu Qing grabbed the handle and slowly opened the lid.

Just this tiny movement made the four of them inexplicably nervous.

What kind of dish would this be?
Can it really satisfy the appetite of all of them?

Can the strategy they have planned be successfully implemented?
Many thoughts flashed through my mind quickly.

But soon, they didn't have time to think about it anymore.

Because as the lid of the dish is opened, a rich aroma wafts out. Once this complex and mysterious aroma appears, it will drill into the nose as if it has consciousness, instantly occupying the sense of smell and taste, and then making the brain go blank. Apart from feeling this wonderful aroma, people have no other thoughts.

This wonderful aroma attracted not only the four people at the table, but also many people eating in the hall and passers-by coming and going outside.

The wonderful fragrance drifted in all directions with the breeze, blowing through the streets and alleys and into every house.

Anyone who breathes the air will inhale this mysterious fragrance almost at the same time, and will be intoxicated by it at that moment and unable to extricate themselves.

The people around took subconscious steps, following the guidance of the fragrance, and walked slowly towards the chrysanthemum building.

More and more people gathered, almost blocking the door to Juxia's downstairs.

Many people were on their way to the outside. After Xu Qing's advance reminder, the guys who went downstairs stuffed their noses with cotton and stood in front of the door, working hard to maintain order.

The hall was even more chaotic. People who were eating all threw down their chopsticks, gathered around the table, and breathed in the intoxicating aroma to their heart's content.

The waiters were so anxious that they were sweating profusely. They gathered around the dining table and tried their best to stop people from coming.

Tingtao Pavilion, next to Juxialou, is also a famous restaurant. The chef has been friends with Chef Abei for many years and is very familiar with him.

A few days ago, when Xu Qing just took over the position of head chef, an incident occurred. At that time, the other chefs joined together to find the chef of Tingtao Pavilion and asked him to take them to see Master Abei.

The chef of Tingtao Pavilion didn't really want to get involved in this matter. Everyone cooks and runs a restaurant based on their own skills. If his customers were snatched away by other restaurants, it can only be said that he is not as skilled as others. He can just accept it. Why would he go to someone else's house to cause trouble?
He really couldn't bring himself to do that.

But the other chefs couldn't help crying as they spoke, as if if Chef Tingtaoge didn't take care of the matter, their entire family would not be able to survive.

The chef of Tingtao Pavilion was a good man. He could not bear their crying and complaining, so he had to bite the bullet and take these people to see Chef Abei in the name of visiting a patient.

Seeing that Master Abei looked in good spirits, the head chef of Tingtao Pavilion heaved a sigh of relief. He chatted with Master Abei for a long time, and only after the other people kept winking at him did he blush and tactfully mention the matter to Master Abei.

Master Abei has a gentle personality, and since it would be bad to delay the business of neighbors, she agreed immediately.

When they left, they were all smiling.

The chef of Tingtao Pavilion reminded them again and again that this was only the first time and there would definitely not be a next time.

Several people agreed readily, and they were just short of swearing an oath.

Sure enough, since that day, although Juxialou’s business was still prosperous, it was not so prosperous as to compete with them for business.

Ju went downstairs to eat meat, and they could at least get some soup to drink.

This makes them quite satisfied.

After that, everyone lived in peace.

until today.

When the chef of Tingtao Pavilion smelled the aroma, his heart suddenly skipped a beat, thinking something bad was going to happen.

This fragrance was even more mysterious than the last time. The mellow aroma wafting in the air made him unable to control himself. He almost wanted to walk downstairs to Ju, let alone others.

He leaned outside and saw that, as expected, there was no one left in the hall that was originally full of people. Everyone had gone out, not even the waiters.

The hall was empty and desolate.

Within a few minutes, chefs from several other restaurants hurried over.

Seeing that even Tingtao Pavilion was empty, they all showed angry expressions on their faces.

"It's too much!"

"Didn't we agree on this before? Why did it turn out like this? Is he holding a grudge and trying to provoke us on purpose?"

"Ju, there's meat downstairs, but you should leave some soup for us! Now we don't even have any soup."

"How are we going to live from now on! It's only been a few days since the last incident. If it happens every other day, who can stand it? We might as well just close the business."

"Chef Fang, you have to have a good talk with Master Abei. Yes, we all know that Xu Qing is strong and we are not capable enough, but we can't just let him do whatever he wants, right?"

"Yes, Chef Fang, we will go find Chef Abe now."

The chef sighed, pointed at the huge crowd at the door of Ju Xiashang, and said, "Even if you want to find Master Abei, there's nothing you can do. The front and back doors are blocked. If you have the ability to squeeze in, go ahead. I support you. My old arms and legs are no longer able to do it."

Several chefs looked at each other and were silent for a while.

If we squeeze this in, it would be strange if it doesn't become a meat patty.
