After being bound to the learning system in my mother's womb, I became the empress

Chapter 139 Some people just don’t know their own abilities

After finishing their meal, Lin Xi and his group walked out from upstairs.

Wang Si was clearing the table not far away. Lin Xi moved her little hand slightly and flicked a mung bean-sized pill into his ear.

The pill rolled into his ear canal. Wang Si felt his ear was itchy, so he scratched it but didn't pay attention.

Shortly after Lin Xi and his party left, Wang Si suddenly felt itchy while serving food to the guests.

It was bearable at first, but after a while it became so itchy that he couldn't help but scratch it.

As a result, the more he scratched, the more itchy he became. The itch seemed to come from between the bones, and he couldn't scratch it enough.

"Ah! Don't come here!"

The guest screamed in fright when he saw Wang Siyi walking towards him with a tray in his hand, his face scratched bloody.

Shopkeeper Chen heard the sound and came over. He first expressed his apologies to the guest, and then looked at Wang Si. His suppressed anger suddenly burst out, "Wang Si, follow me!"

When they arrived at the servant's room, shopkeeper Chen slapped Wang Si in the face, causing him to stagger.

"Hurry up and pack up and leave. We can't keep you in Huixian Tower."

Wang Si was beaten, and he should have been in pain and angry, but he found that the slap actually relieved his itch.

Compared with the pain, the itch as if there were millions of bugs gnawing in the body was even more unbearable.

But it only eased for a while, and the itch came back. He scratched his face and neck hard until blood dripped from his scratches.

He didn't even need any bedding and ran out in a hurry.

He had to find a doctor quickly, otherwise he would die of itching.

Halfway through the run, he saw a river. Somehow, even though it was a cold spring season, he felt that the river water had an unparalleled attraction for him.

He walked over with a dazed look and walked straight into the river.

"Ah, someone jumped into the river!"

"Hurry up and save someone!"

When Wang Si was rescued, he was already out of breath. The blood marks on his face and body were soaked in water, which made him look scary and disgusting.

"Shopkeeper Chen, what's going on with you at the Immortal Tower? Didn't you agree to let Master Gao come to our house to cook today? Where are the others? Why hasn't this time come yet? If it delays our Lord's banquet, you will be at the Immortal Tower. Can you afford it?"

As soon as shopkeeper Chen came to the lobby, he was scolded by Butler Deng of the county magistrate's office.

He was so surprised, "Steward Deng, hasn't Master Gao gone yet?"

Butler Deng: "If he goes, do I still need to come to you? You have collected the deposit for the Immortal Building, but you don't see anyone at the end. How can you do such a thing!"

Shopkeeper Chen quickly bowed and apologized, finally calming down Butler Deng for the time being. He invited him to the teahouse upstairs and poured him a cup of tea himself.

"Please wait a moment. I'm going to ask what's going on. I'll give you an explanation today."

Butler Deng waved his hand impatiently, "Go quickly, I have to see someone before midnight (1 p.m.), otherwise... you will know the consequences even if I don't tell you."

Shopkeeper Chen: "Yes, yes, I promise to find Master Gao for you before the time comes."

After leaving the tea room, he raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead and called a waiter: "Go to Master Gao's house and see where he went!"

This time the county magistrate was going to hold a Shangyuan Festival night banquet, and all the people invited were well-known people in the city. Originally, he didn't think this matter had anything to do with their Huixian Tower.

Until Butler Deng from the county magistrate's office came to ask Master Gao to serve the banquet.

This is an excellent opportunity for Huixianlou!
If the dishes at the banquet are well cooked and praised by the county magistrate, their Huixian Tower will become famous throughout Qingyuan County from now on!

The business will surely reach a higher level.

When Master Gao left yesterday, he gave many instructions that he must go all out for this time and go to the magistrate's house early to prepare for the banquet.Master Gao didn't come today, he thought he had gone to the county magistrate's house.

Who knew they didn't go at all?
This old guy is so unreliable at critical moments!
This is to kill him!

The waiter ran back and said breathlessly: "Shopkeeper, Master Gao's family said that he left early in the morning to go to the county magistrate's house."

Shopkeeper Chen: "What about the other person? If he went to the county magistrate's office, why would Butler Deng come to ask me for help!"

He is a busy man, and he is not too full to do anything, so come here to entertain him!
The guy couldn't answer.

Shopkeeper Chen: "Quick, look for him again, we must find him before the end of time!"

The guy was busy running to find someone again.

Shopkeeper Chen was anxious and turned around a few times, feeling that he couldn't put all his hope in finding Master Gao and had to make two preparations.

When he came to the kitchen, he briefly explained the situation and said with a serious expression: "This time is related to the survival of our Huixian Tower. If Master Gao can be found, everyone will be happy. If he can't be found, then the county magistrate's office will The Shangyuan Night Banquet we attended will have to be ruined, and our Huixian Tower will be finished!"

"What should we do, shopkeeper?"

"Master Gao, he usually looks very stable, but this time he is... ugh."

"Shopkeeper, if you can't find Master Gao, do you have to choose someone else?"

The person who said this was Master Zhao, the second-ranking chef in Huixian Tower, who had always been suppressed by Master Gao.

Shopkeeper Chen knew that Master Zhao and Master Gao had always been estranged from each other and refused to succumb to the lower position, but as long as the two did not make a public dispute and affect the business of Huixianlou, he would not interfere.

Hearing Master Zhao's words, Shopkeeper Chen took a deep look at him and became suspicious.

But the question now is how to overcome the current difficulties. As for the rest, we can wait until today.

"That's right. If I can't find Master Gao, then I can only choose someone else. I just don't know if Butler Deng will agree."

Master Zhao said confidently: "Shopkeeper, as long as someone's cooking skills are as good as, or even better than, Master Gao, how can Butler Deng refuse to agree?"

The meaning behind his words was that he was that person.

Shopkeeper Chen: "Okay, I will ask Butler Deng to come over and let him review your cooking skills. If anyone satisfies Butler Deng, I will reward you heavily afterwards."

After shopkeeper Chen left, the kitchen suddenly became excited, and more than a dozen people were eager to try it.

"What did the shopkeeper mean just now, did you mean that we all have a chance to show off?"

"It sounds like our cooking skills are not as good as those of Master Gao and Master Zhao, but maybe it just suits Butler Deng's taste."

Master Zhao chuckled, "Some people just don't overestimate their abilities. Who is Steward Deng? The steward of the county magistrate's house. The delicacies I have tasted are all over the sea, let alone the nobles who attended the banquet today. Do you care about the ordinary dishes you cook? Don't come out and embarrass yourself."

Some people felt sad after hearing this, some were very unconvinced, and some were even more motivated.

"Master Zhao, it's their business whether they care or not. We just need to prepare our own dishes."

The implication is, please, stop beeping here.

The speaker was Master Gao's nephew and apprentice Xiao Gao. If Lao Gao and Lao Zhao didn't deal with each other, Xiao Gao naturally disliked Lao Zhao.

Master Zhao was about to suppress Xiao Gao's arrogance as a senior when shopkeeper Chen led Butler Deng over.

The dozen or so chefs in the back kitchen suddenly stopped talking.

Butler Deng frowned and said, "Okay, let's get started."

He doesn't have that much time to waste.
