Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Liu Haizhong also felt that Xu Damao had gone a bit too far.

It's a bit unreasonable to expect such a small restaurant to be on par with He Yuzhu's large restaurant.

"Da Mao, this is already pretty good, so don't be so picky."

No one supported him, and Xu Damao didn't force the issue. He chuckled softly and didn't bring it up again.

At this moment, the restaurant finally welcomed its second table of guests, a group of middle-aged people with happy expressions on their faces.

They were chatting when they came in, as if they had made some money and wanted to treat themselves.

Yi Zhonghai should have stood up and greeted the others. But he was so angry with Xu Damao that he sat there motionless.

Qin Huairu had no choice but to go and greet the others.

When ordering, I glanced at the menu and immediately hesitated.

The price of the food was simply too high for them.

"It's too expensive here, let's go."

"Come on, this place is too expensive, let's go somewhere else."

Seeing the group get up, Qin Huairu quickly winked and said, "Don't be fooled by the high price of our restaurant's food; there's a reason it's expensive."

You know the Chaoyang Hotel near Chaoyangmen, right?

Our restaurant's head chef and the head chef of Chaoyang Restaurant are from the same apprenticeship.

The Chaoyang Hotel has been open for quite some time now, and with the media frenzy surrounding He Yuzhu's electric scooter incident, a great deal of people already know about it.

Many people have never eaten at Chaoyang Hotel, but just by looking at the hotel's decor, they can be sure that the food there is delicious.

Ordinary people don't think too complicatedly about why food tastes good. They simply assume it's because the restaurant chefs cook well.

Hearing that the chefs here were apprentices of the head chef of Chaoyang Hotel, I was somewhat skeptical.

Seeing that some people didn't believe her, Qin Huairu became unconvinced.

These people know all too well about the backgrounds of those MCA members.

Seeing that they spoke with great conviction, the doubts in their hearts disappeared considerably.

Qin Huairu seized the opportunity to say, "Don't worry, the food at our Nen Restaurant will definitely satisfy you."

I just heard you say you wanted to improve your lives. Since it's about improving your lives, of course you should eat better.

As she said these words, she nudged the people on either side of her.

Qin Huairu made special preparations for the restaurant's opening.

She never gained weight because Sha Zhu never gave her a blood transfusion in her entire life.

After this makeover, she still retains a lot of the charm she had in her youth.

In addition, ordinary people at that time were still very conservative.

The two men who had benefited from the deal immediately began to waver.

The two of them tacitly suggested that they eat here.

Qin Huairu didn't mistreat the two of them either, bumping into one of them and then the other.

The other two were envious.

Qin Huairu was very good at sharing favors equally, so she went between the two of them and did her thing again.

Once everyone was satisfied, they stopped caring about the price of the food.

Under Qin Huairu's persuasive influence, the group ordered six dishes.

On the other side, seeing that Qin Huairu hadn't returned to the kitchen, the third aunt had no choice but to personally bring out the dishes and place them on Xu Damao's table.

Her attitude was much better than Yi Zhonghai's. The Yan family was willing to lower themselves for the sake of making money.

Xu Damao couldn't find fault with this point, so he could only eat vegetables.

As soon as Xu Damao put the fish-flavored shredded pork in his mouth, he frowned.

The food is edible.

Although the fat man did not formally become an apprentice, he followed He Yuzhu for a period of time and learned some skills.

The dishes served at the restaurant were mostly his specialties.

The key issue is that the fat man's cooking skills don't justify the price of the food.

His shredded pork with garlic sauce was far inferior to what Yan Jiecheng's restaurant made.

More importantly, the portion size was insufficient.

No matter how you look at it, this dish isn't worth twelve yuan. "Uncle Liu, please try it."

Liu Haizhong took a bite and also frowned. He had eaten at many restaurants and had quite a few servings of shredded pork with garlic sauce.

This was the worst dish he had ever eaten.

"Old Yan, this dish wasn't made by your wife, was it? Even if we're old neighbors, you can't just fool me like this."

Xu Damao said, "Even the dishes made by Second Aunt taste better than this."

Of course, the second aunt's cooking skills are a bit worse.

Xu Damao deliberately used Second Aunt as a shield.

Liu Haizhong felt that his wife's cooking was similar to this dish, so he nodded.

Yan Bugui laughed and said, "Old Liu, I have guests here, don't joke around."

"The food at our restaurant is all prepared by Fatty, Sha Zhu's apprentice, to ensure that every dish is authentic."

Xu Damao scoffed, "Authentic my foot! You're just faking it."

Yi Zhonghai stood up angrily: "Xu Damao, shut up! Everyone here is your elder. Who gave you permission to boss your elders around?"

There are no bad elders in the world, only inconsiderate juniors.

"You wicked brat, if you don't want to eat, then leave. Don't deliberately cause trouble here."

In Yi Zhonghai's view, they had to lower themselves and open a restaurant to serve Xu Damao. Xu Damao was obligated to be grateful and couldn't say a bad word about it.

Xu Damao snorted: "Your restaurant's food is bad, but you won't let people say it."

You're running a shady business.

Qin Huairu was worried that the restaurant's business would be affected, and she also felt that Xu Damao was deliberately causing trouble.

Even if there are many, we must steer the discussion towards the idea of ​​deliberately finding fault.

Otherwise, if people know that the restaurant's food is bad and the prices are high, no one will come to eat at the restaurant.

"Da Mao, please stop causing trouble. How can there be no conflicts between neighbors?"

We wouldn't have opened a restaurant if we weren't struggling to make ends meet.

Old Yi and Old Yan are both so old, wouldn't it be better for them to enjoy their retirement at home?

"Are you trying to drive us to our deaths?"

As they were old friends, Liu Haizhong couldn't bear it and advised, "Da Mao, just say less."

The group of people eating over there were about to leave when they heard Xu Damao say the food wasn't good.

After Qin Huairu said that, and the people who were eating with Xu Damao also said the same thing, the group assumed that Xu Damao was deliberately causing trouble.

One of the bolder ones even deliberately touched Qin Huairu's buttocks.

After gaining an advantage, he immediately said, "Hey comrade, your neighbor's restaurant is only open for the first time. You shouldn't have come here to cause trouble no matter what."

"A close neighbor is worse than a distant relative; what you've done has gone too far."

After saying that, he looked at Qin Huairu, as if to say, "I'll pat you on the back and stand up for you."

Qin Huairu gave him a charming smile.

He grew bolder and reached out to touch it again.

Xu Damao chuckled: "I've become the bad guy. Fine, let's see what you have to say when all your dishes are served."

The group didn't seem to mind and chatted enthusiastically with Qin Huairu.

Soon after, their dishes were served. The first dish was hot and sour shredded potatoes.

The group took a bite and, apart from being dissatisfied with the portion size, couldn't find anything wrong with it.

They became even more convinced that Xu Damao was deliberately causing trouble.

Xu Damao's four dishes were served, but the taste was only so-so.

He didn't pay any attention and just stared at those people.

This meal was nothing to him, but it was a different story to those other people.

He wanted to see what that person would say if they weren't satisfied with the food.

Liu Haizhong was also seething with anger. He felt that the dishes were made by his third aunt.

Out of consideration for his old friend, he held back from speaking.

Soon, the other table also realized something was wrong with their food. (End of Chapter)
