After four hours of baking, everyone dozed off. Even Su Huanli fell asleep peacefully on one side. Only the seven chefs in the field and He Shi, who stood at the door of the back kitchen, were still watching intently.
Especially He Shi, his face was extremely gloomy at the moment. A feeling of being cheated and humiliated filled his heart. He even began to doubt whether it was right to make the decision to change jobs.
"Clang!!"
Fang Yuan knocked the gongs and drums expressionlessly, and everyone suddenly woke up. Su Zipei struggled to lift the grill, put the roasted Beggar's Chicken on the plate, and moved the grill away.
"It's done!" Su Zipei showed a lovely smile, and her clear voice resounded in the field, "Seniors, please have a taste."
Mr. Zhou rubbed his sleepy eyes and saw the mud ball, which was darker than the color of the usual restaurant. His eyes suddenly brightened, "Come on, give it to everyone to have a taste!"
"Hurry up!" The shopkeeper pointed to Fang Yuan and urged. Among these waiters, Fang Yuan's skill of knocking the mud shell was the best.
Fang Yuan stepped forward indifferently, picked up the small iron hammer on the table, glanced at Su Zipei, who was looking at him contemptuously and full of confidence, and hit it with the hammer.
Crack!
The mud shell was evenly split into two halves from the middle, and the onlookers cheered. The old butler standing beside Su Huanli narrowed his pupils slightly, and his turbid eyes flashed.
"The fragrance is right. It is Beggar's Chicken! It seems to be more fragrant! "
"It smells so good. I want to eat it!"
"…"
As the onlookers swallowed their saliva, plates of cut chicken were placed in front of the eight judges one after another. Mr. Zhou couldn't wait to take a big bite, and the other seven chefs each cut a small piece and put it into their mouths.
Soon, Mr. Zhou's face changed. Su Huanli thought that he was going to say some flattering words, but the next moment, he opened his mouth and spat out all the chicken he ate.
"Bah! What is it? Such old meat? This is not Beggar's Chicken at all! "Mr. Zhou was very angry and said angrily," Boss Su, I need an explanation. "
The other seven chefs put down their chopsticks and commented one after another,
"It's raw and not cooked."
"Half-cooked. The skill of roasting is too poor!"
"His skill in handling the chicken is very skilled, but not exquisite."
"There are indeed a lot of new ingredients in it, but it's not perfect. This girl's culinary skills can only be said to be at the beginner level. It's a waste of such a good recipe."
"…"
The seven chefs didn't say a word, but Su Zipei's face became paler and paler until there was no blood. She sat on the ground in embarrassment.
"Impossible … Impossible, I clearly followed the recipe, I clearly … personally stole it from her room!"
Fang Yuan's ears twitched and his eyes flashed.
As expected, she wasn't the real culinary genius. Then …
"Impossible! How can I lose to her! "Su Zipei suddenly stood up and screamed, spilling the ingredients on the table like a crazy woman. Her silky hair was in a mess, and her bright and clean dress was full of wrinkles. He was so ugly that he couldn't bear to look at him.
"I am the best! I'm the best!! "
The place was eerily silent, except for Su Zipei who was clamoring. Su Huanli was so shocked that he was at a loss. The old butler quickly knocked Su Zipei out and took her away.
For a time, people on both sides were speechless and didn't know what to say.
At this time, a ruffian picked up the spilled chicken on the ground and stuffed it into his mouth. He hummed, "Well, it tastes good! But the meat is not cooked yet. My wife can at least cook the meat. Is she a genius? Ha ha ha ha … "
Everyone burst into laughter. Su Huanli's old face was so red that it almost dripped blood. After today, his Su Family would be the biggest joke in the Dasu Town. The restaurant would be ruined. Even the Zhu and Yang Families could use this reason to blackmail him for a lot of money.
When thinking of the future, Su Huanli only felt that his eyes were black and he almost fainted.
"Master, the only thing we can do now is to let Second Miss come here."
Li Yin reminded Su Huanli, and he suddenly woke up.
Yes, I still have Erya!
"Butler, bring Erya here quickly. I'll appease Mr. Zhou and others."
After that, he glanced at Su Zipei who had fainted and immediately gnashed his teeth with hatred, "Bitch, take her back to her mother. Don't let me see her in the future!"
Li Yin took a deep look at Su Huanli and turned away.
Su Huanli didn't have time to think about the meaning of that look. At this moment, he calmed down his mood and pretended to be angry and walked into the lobby. Seeing him come out, people who felt deeply deceived flocked to him. The simple and honest man yesterday stood out and sneered,
"Head Su, what else do you want to say now?"
Mr. Zhou shook his head, "Head Su, I didn't expect you to be such a person. I will not come to your restaurant to eat in the future. This will be the shame of my life."
"Integrity is the foundation of doing business. Head Su, you'd better go back to school and study for a few years!"
The other owners of the restaurant jumped out to speak, each more mean than the other.
Su Huanli stretched out his hand and pressed it with a complicated expression, "Everyone, I didn't expect that Zipei would lie to me, so I'm sorry for deceiving you. In fact, I have more than one daughter. Zipei also has a sister. Zipei followed the recipes studied by her sister before. I didn't expect that Zipei would deceive her relatives for the sake of reputation. "
At the critical moment, Su Huanli sold Su Zipei without hesitation.
In an instant, the restaurant fell into silence. They didn't expect that there would be such a turnaround in this situation.
"I remember! Last year, a daughter of the Su Family stole treasures and sent the Master of the Yang Family to be recommended, which made all the previous investment of the Su Family in vain. "
Someone in the crowd came to a sudden realization. With this reminder, many people recalled such an incident.
"I also remember. But wasn't she driven out of the Su Family? Why … "
"Why are the daughters of the Su Family all sneaky? It's really …"
Some women couldn't help but talk. Fang Yuan felt uncomfortable listening. He didn't believe that Su Li would do that kind of thing.
Su Huanli shook his head helplessly and said loudly,
"Everyone, be quiet. Please listen to my explanation. In fact, these are all family scandals, which should not be publicized. However, since Zipei has a bad character, I can't continue to hide it for her. In fact, it was Zipei who stole things last year. Later, she framed her Second Sister, which made me make a decision that I regretted very much. "
It was so!
The crowd was in an uproar. The honest man was also caught off guard by Su Huanli's sudden self-explosion and didn't know what to say. Fang Yuan didn't say anything, but his mouth was slightly raised.
"Master Su, I'm not meddlesome. This matter is related to your innocence. How can you know the truth but not report it? Instead, you cover up Su Zipei? What do you think of your other daughter by doing this? "
Mr. Zhou accused loudly. Su Huanli was ashamed and said, "Yes, yes, yes. Mr. Zhou is right. I have informed the housekeeper to let my Second Daughter come here. I think you will see her soon. How about asking you to taste her dishes at that time? "
Mr. Zhou pondered for a moment and nodded, "It's okay. But the other seven are busy people. I don't know if they can wait for a few more hours."
"It doesn't matter. We also want to see what the real cooking genius of the Su Family is like." The chefs who came to find trouble shook their heads and said.
"By the way," He Shi came over and said, "I haven't asked the name of the Second Miss."
"Yes. The name of the Third Miss is Su Zipei. I think the name of the Second Miss is not bad, right? "
Su Huanli was instantly dumbfounded. How could he say the name of Su Erya?
"Head Su, why don't you speak?"
Su Huanli's face turned red. When he was about to say "Su Erya" with difficulty, he heard a crisp and sweet voice like an oriole coming from the kitchen.
"Su Li!"
Su Li calmly stepped into the lobby and gracefully saluted, "My name is Su Li. I am the Su of the Su Family and the Li of the Linli. It's my honor to meet all the seniors of the Kitchen School."
Fang Yuan stared blankly at the woman in a white dress with a pure smile as before. His heart rippled.
It turned out that her name was Su Li.
Su Li only wore a very simple dress, which was not as luxurious as Su Zipei. But every inch of her face and every inch of her figure was perfect. She was like a lotus out of the water showing a noble temperament out of thin air. She was like a pavilion in the moon, cold and untouchable.
"What virtue did Su Huanli accumulate in his last life? How could he have a fairy-like daughter?"
This thought came to everyone's mind at the same time. They completely forgot the scandal of the Su Family and only saw Su Li's figure. Even those middle-aged women were jealous and never mentioned Su Zipei again.
"I wonder if the eight seniors would like to accompany me to cook a precious Beggar's Chicken?"
Su Li asked with a smile.
Mr. Zhou suddenly came to his sense and laughed to cover up his embarrassment, "Of course. Miss Su Li, please. Let's sit back. "
After he finished speaking, he returned to his seat. His figure was a little disheveled.
"Daddy, I heard it from the housekeeper. Leave it to me." Su Li said softly and turned to instruct the helpers to prepare the ingredients again.
Su Huanli saw that Su Li didn't blame him but only comforted him. He was so moved that he cried, "Erya, I am really wrong. If you can save the crisis, I will let you take care of the restaurant in the future."
Su Li didn't show joy but said anxiously, "Daddy, what are you talking about? The restaurant belongs to the Su Family. It's the same no matter who manages it. I hope you don't blame me for changing the name. "
"I don't blame you." Su Huanli wiped his tears and said, "If you didn't think of a nice name, I would make a fool of myself again."
"I believe that you can think of a better name if you have some time." Su Li squinted and smiled. Su Huanli quickly waved his hand and refused, "No way. Your name has been reported. How can you change it? You will be called Su Li in the future. It sounds much better than Su Erya."
