Chapter 758 - 760: Is it a misunderstanding? Let everyone judge for themselves
CHAPTER 758: CHAPTER 760: IS IT A MISUNDERSTANDING? LET EVERYONE JUDGE FOR THEMSELVES
Because of Chef Wu’s reputation, Dongfeng Restaurant had regained its usual business within just three days.
That day, Li Fuyou was sitting in a private room of Dongfeng Restaurant, enjoying his tea with a rather pleasant mood, a smile lingering at the corners of his mouth, "Amo, has the Chu Family’s young master been up to anything these past few days?"
"Young master, Yuelai Restaurant hasn’t made any other moves, just conducting business as usual," Amo replied.
"Heh," Li Fuyou chuckled lightly, weren’t they supposed to crush me? It seemed they had ceased their actions so soon. Was the Chu Family’s young master not as formidable as he thought? He still lacked the viciousness.
He then inquired, "Has that person been found?"
"Not yet."
"Keep looking," a cold light flashed in Li Fuyou’s eyes, he was determined to find the person behind the scenes.
"Yes, young master."
As the two were talking, suddenly a commotion arose from the main hall, a look of surprise flashed across Li Fuyou’s eyes, and his brows furrowed. Was someone causing trouble on his turf?
He gave a look, and Amo, taking the cue, went out the door.
In the main hall
Suddenly, someone stood up, exclaiming in surprise, "Hey, what is this?"
Such an exclamation drew the attention of others dining in the hall; they all looked toward the source of the noise, only to see that person poking through the food with chopsticks and then pulling something out, followed by another shout, "Ah, it’s a cockroach!"
The man, frightened, threw down his chopsticks, and the discarded cockroach, by a stroke of bad luck, landed in the dish of another table, causing the diners there to cry out in alarm, "Ah, it really is a cockroach!"
Both tables were angered by the incident, and they called out loudly, "Shopkeeper!"
Upon hearing the guests’ screams, the shopkeeper hurried over, equally startled by the situation; how could there be cockroaches in the food? "Dear guests, could there be some misunderstanding? Our Dongfeng Restaurant’s dishes are very clean."
The expression on that guest’s face was one of rage as he picked up the cockroach with his chopsticks to show the shopkeeper, indignantly saying, "Misunderstanding? Then explain this to me, will you?"
"Dear guest, this is indeed a cockroach, but it might not have come from our dishes; there must be some mistake," the shopkeeper argued.
The guest roared, "So what are you implying? That I brought it and am framing you? I was just having a meal, why would I trouble myself like this?"
Clearly, the guest’s words swayed the crowd, and many began to murmur in agreement.
"No, dear guest, I did not mean that. I was just thinking it could have come from somewhere else..." the shopkeeper tried to placate the guest with a smile, but the man was not having any of it.
Instead, he shouted in the hall, "Everyone, stop eating! Come and see! There’s a cockroach in the food at Dongfeng Restaurant, the food is unclean, who dares to eat now? You might get a stomachache, and if someone dies from it, then it’s even worse."
The shopkeeper quickly interjected, "Dear guest, please don’t talk nonsense."
"I’m talking nonsense? The evidence is right here, is the cockroach also fake?" the guest argued back, then continued, "Who knows, maybe your kitchen is full of these cockroaches. Whether it’s a misunderstanding or not, let everyone have a look and we’ll know."
"This..." the shopkeeper was at a loss for words.
But by this time, the crowd had already been stirred up, "Yeah, shopkeeper, is there something wrong with your restaurant’s food? Let’s all go to the kitchen and find out."
