Whose little lady is so crazy?

Chapter 285 Not willing

"Hey, the duck is freshly baked. I can smell the fragrance from far away. It looks delicious. Thank you, brother. Put it here." Hong Xiaoduo said with a smile and gestured to put it on the table.

So you're not letting me in? The waiter understood and placed the roast duck in the middle of the table. "The dishes are all here, please enjoy. If you have any instructions, just let me know." He turned around and left.

Hong Xiaoduo was also surprised by the waiter's reaction. She just saw the man who wanted her to give him his food coming down the stairs.

Brother Quan said that this restaurant has three floors, and most customers are in the lobby downstairs. Those who go to the private rooms on the second floor are of higher status, either rich people or powerful officials.

The guests who can dine in the private rooms on the third floor are basically royal family members.

It’s not that high-ranking officials are not qualified to go to the third floor, but they actually dare not go there. They can afford the cost of the private rooms on the third floor, but they are afraid of being too ostentatious and being used as a topic of conversation by those with ulterior motives to accuse them of corruption or something like that.

So, it would be normal for the waiter to persuade me to give the dish to this person, but he didn't do that.

The middle-aged man standing aside seemed to have not expected things to turn out like this. He really didn't expect Hong Xiaoduo to refuse. He wanted to leave, but found that the diners on both sides were looking at him.

He frowned and looked at Hong Xiaoduo. Just as he was about to speak, the person at the counter came over.

"Manager Chen, actually the steamed and smoked duck in our restaurant is pretty good. Your master has tried it too. Since we have distinguished guests here, why not change to steamed and smoked duck?" The person who came said to the man with a smile.

"Manager Liu, the distinguished guest my master is entertaining wants to try your restaurant's roast duck. Why don't you talk to this young lady and ask her to change it to steamed and smoked duck?" The man did not smile.

Seeing the fifty-year-old shopkeeper Liu looking at Hong Xiaoduo, he asked with a smile: "Young lady, are you willing to change the dishes?"

At this time, guests at several tables around were looking over here.

Some are worried, some are just watching the fun.

Hong Xiaoduo looked around and finally set her eyes on the roasted duck on the table. "No, we came to your restaurant for this dish. We ordered this dish by luck, so why should we give it to someone else?"

After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves, and under the gazes of everyone, he reached out and pulled off a duck leg and handed it to Kaiyang across from him: "Here, eat it while it's hot."

Kaiyang reached out and took the duck leg and took a bite immediately.

"How does it taste?" Hong Xiaoduo asked with a smile.

Kaiyang had a big mouthful of duck leg meat in his mouth. He couldn't answer, so he nodded vigorously. He didn't lie. The duck meat was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The skin looked brown and oily, but it didn't feel greasy at all when he put it in his mouth.

He didn't know why, he was obviously a little nervous and worried just now, but now seeing the man opposite him acting as if he was not at a disadvantage as always, the angry expression of the manager next to him, and the various reactions of the diners around him, Kaiyang suddenly wanted to laugh.

"Where are you from, girl? How can you be so ungrateful? Do you know who my master is?" Manager Chen could no longer hold back his anger and said in a low voice.

Hong Xiaoduo glanced at the other person, stretched out his hand and pulled off a duck leg before looking at the man again and said, "Don't worry about where I came from, and I'm not interested in knowing who your master is.

No matter who he is, he has no right to snatch a dish from others, right?
Also, I think you are the one who doesn't know what's good for you. From your tone, your master is a person of great status, but why would he use someone like you as a manager?

You use your master's identity to show off when you go out? Aren't you afraid of ruining your master's reputation? " After saying that, under the other party's annoyed gaze, he brought the duck leg in his hand to his mouth, slowly took a bite, and then nodded with satisfaction.

Shopkeeper Liu, who was standing by, was also surprised to see Hong Xiaoduo like this. He held back his smile and said to the man, "Manager Chen, go ask your master if the steamed smoked duck is okay?" Manager Chen did not say anything to Shopkeeper Liu, but looked at Hong Xiaoduo fiercely and said, "You are a smart girl, just eat well." After that, he turned and walked towards the second floor.

Shopkeeper Liu also smiled at Hong Xiaoduo and turned back to the counter.

The diners who were watching around also started to eat and drink, but the topic of conversation also included Hong Xiaoduo's table.

Those who speculated on her and Kaiyang's identities thought that the one who dared to refuse and confront Manager Chen must have someone backing him.

Some also said that judging by her attire, she was from the underworld, and perhaps she had just arrived in the capital and did not understand these fearless things.

Hong Xiaoduo and Kaiyang could vaguely hear these words, but they didn't care at all. They each had a roast duck leg in their hands and ate it with relish.

"I should ask my second brother to try it too, then he will think about how to make it." Kaiyang thought about it and said.

Hong Xiaoduo shook her head after hearing this and said, "This is not that easy to figure out. After the duck is slaughtered, you need to know what seasoning to use for marinating and how long to marinate. You also need a special stove for hanging it for roasting, and what temperature and what kind of charcoal to use. All of these are very particular." After saying this, she took a sip of pomegranate wine.

I finished the duck leg in my hand, wiped my hands with the wet towel on the table, and tasted several other dishes, all of which were pretty good.

The first restaurant in the capital city is indeed worthy of its reputation.

"Have you heard that the Minister of Personnel, Lord Wei, has found his grandson, and he is still alive."

"I heard about it, too. It seems that tomorrow, the head of the Wei clan will arrive and officially let the child recognize his ancestry and be included in the clan tree."

"Were they not included in the family tree when we were born? Why do we need to include it again?"

"Are you stupid? Didn't you say that if the child died in an accident, it would be marked in the family tree. Now that the child is alive, it is natural that he should be put back in the family tree."

"Ah, it's really not easy for Lord Wei. He is a good official who is honest and upright and works hard for our people, but he encountered such a thing. Back then, everyone speculated that the corrupt officials he offended hired someone to kidnap the child and harmed him."

"Yes, I heard that several of Lord Wei's mortal enemies ridiculed him to his face several times. They didn't know how to behave, so they got their retribution. Now, God has opened his eyes and found the child."

The discussions all around were very clear. Hong Xiaoduo noticed that Kaiyang was also listening to them. He was eating with his eyes lowered. He must be feeling uneasy and struggling with himself in his heart.

Even if Kaiyang hadn't heard those words, the two of them wouldn't have been able to finish all the food on the table during this lunch.

This is also the first time, there is no CD and no take away.

After paying the money and walking out of the restaurant, the two continued shopping. Hong Xiaoduo looked at Xiao Kaiyang, who had a stern face and was worried, but she felt that the child's mood had actually changed a little, as if he had already made a decision in his heart.

"Tomorrow, will they recognize the fake Tong'er as originally planned? Or, will they recognize me tomorrow?" Kaiyang looked around and saw that there were no pedestrians around, so he looked at Hong Xiaoduo and asked.

“They didn’t tell me this, so I don’t know, but I guess they are waiting for your response before making a decision.

Kaiyang, I know this matter is too sudden for you, so they don't want to force you, and I don't want to force you either. You decide what to do..."

Finally finished the second chapter, good night and sweet dreams everyone! (^_-)
