Chapter 234: The bamboo basket is empty
Time passed little by little, and seeing that the time of the competition was about to pass, there was no movement on Huangfu Xue's side. The chef of Huixiang Restaurant prepared the dishes in front of everyone, and invited the judges to taste and comment, and the onlookers muttered about the dishes of Huixiang Restaurant while muttering what Huangfu Restaurant meant. Everyone said anything, Bai Yuyan sat under the stage, listening to everyone's discussions, and felt proud.
On the other side, Huangfu Xue sat at the table calmly and looked at the account book, An Mingchen was a little tired after watching for a while, so he sat opposite and drank tea, and the shopkeeper spoke incoherently, "Second Miss, even if we don't compete, we should talk to Huixiang Restaurant." Now the outside world says that we have everything, if it continues like this, the reputation of our restaurant will be completely ruined. ”
"It's natural to say it, but ......," Huang Fuxue glanced at the sky, "I'm waiting for a quarter of an hour." When Bai Yuyan was proud enough, and everyone's curiosity was at its highest, she would go down to give them a reversal, but she didn't know what Bai Yuyan's expression would be at that time. However, he should feel quite satisfied when he directed and acted in such a scene, if she didn't even show her face from beginning to end, Bai Yuyan should be even more angry.
A quarter of an hour later, Huangfu Xue took An Mingchen downstairs together, and the shopkeeper saw that his young lady was finally willing to go out, happy and a little worried at the same time, and followed after thinking about it. The competition has ended, Bai Yuyan, as the owner of Huixiang Restaurant, is apologizing to everyone on stage at this time, openly and secretly mocking Huangfu Xue for being cowardly, unable to afford to lose, and then breaking the appointment after the battle, villain behavior or something.
Huang Fuxue stood aside, and after listening, she slapped her face cooperatively and shouted hello. Seeing that everyone was so cooperative, Bai Yuyan wanted to make persistent efforts and say some bad things about Huangfu Xue, at this time someone in the crowd recognized Huangfu Xue, "The second lady of the Huangfu family, she is here, she actually came......"
"It's really fake, it's been so long, we thought she was really scared." Everyone looked over one after another, Bai Yuyan heard the movement, looked over in surprise, and when he saw Huangfu Xue really coming, a flash of surprise and displeasure flashed in his eyes, but he always liked to hide it, and quickly recovered his look.
"Miss Huangfu, did you remember the wrong time or forgot the competition, this time ......" deliberately glanced at the sky, "The competition is over, Miss Huangfu is taking care of several shops at the same time, is it a little powerless." In fact, Miss Huangfu doesn't have to work so hard, and the Huangfu family is not just a young lady, besides, the Huangfu master has always treated everyone equally, and it shouldn't be because you are better than them, you can share a little more when you divide the family property, you say yes. ”
"Bai Gongzi is really worried, do you understand your own and start worrying about the affairs of our Huangfu's family, in other words, do you live by the sea, it is so wide." Huangfu Xue stepped forward to the ring disdainfully, "Are you curious why I ......only appeared at this hour?"
Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement, Huang Fuxue turned around with a smile, and suddenly smiled at Bai Yuyan, "Then you have to ask Bai Gongzi." You don't know, but he knows it. ”
"What do you mean by this, you forgot the time of the competition and didn't arrive on time, what does it have to do with me?" Bai Yuyan sneered twice.
"I want to ask Bai Gongzi, is it a competition between our two restaurants today?" Huangfu Xue ignored his defense and spoke again. Bai Yuyan didn't know what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd, and after thinking about it, she nodded, "Naturally, otherwise what is Young Master Ben doing here." ”
"Since it's a competition, is it a competition if you don't have a match? Bai Gongzi, don't forget, you proposed this ring first, and you told me about today's competition last night. But did you see me from beginning to end? Is a competition without an opponent a competition? Bai Gongzi is so smart, I don't think you need to say this answer, you should know it in your heart. ”
"It's you who missed the time and forgot the game, in order not to disappoint everyone, the slave maid finished this competition, am I still wrong?" Bai Yuyan had long known that she was very difficult, but she didn't expect her to wait for her here. "Miss Huangfu, what do you want to say, just say it directly, why bother beating around the bush and slandering Hui Xiang Restaurant and slandering my son."
"I didn't slander you, I am confronting you in the open." Huangfu Xue saw An Mingchen give herself a look, knowing that Lao Yang had been rescued, and she had no scruples about speaking again, "Everyone only knows that I didn't show up on time, but everyone knows why I didn't show up on time." Turning his head to look at the crowd, he said, "The hour before the game, I noticed that the cook in my shop was missing. ”
"It's gone......" Everyone was surprised, they didn't expect it to be because of this. However, there are also some people who disdain, "Huangfu Restaurant is so big, it can't be only this one cook." If one cook is lost, it's okay to try it out with another. Huang Fuxue looked at everyone and turned around with a smile, "Indeed, a cook can indeed continue to play if he loses, but if I know why he lost, if I participate in this competition, what will happen to him, will I dare to compete?" ”
"What do you mean by this, is someone trying to blackmail her?" Someone else spoke, "It seems to make sense, the time of this cook's disappearance is too strange, and it really can't help but make people think about it." Maybe Miss Er is right, she had to do it out of consideration for the safety of her employees. ”
Bai Yuyan's face became more and more ugly when he heard the discussion of this crowd, his eyes stared straight at Huangfu Xue, and he said coldly, "What nonsense are you talking about, don't make excuses for your timidity, you obviously don't dare to compete with me." Huang Fuyun stood on the second floor, and when he saw that Bai Yuyan was about to lose before he confronted Huang Fuxue, his heart was full of contempt. Seeing that the situation was getting worse and worse for them, Huang Fuyun turned his head and beckoned to the maid, and then whispered a few words in her ear, and after the maid left, his face gradually improved.
Second child, you said you, why are you so annoying every time, if you follow our thoughts today, wouldn't there be so much trouble?
When Huangfu Xue and Bai Yuyan confronted each other, the direction of the wind in the audience suddenly changed, and everyone stopped talking about the disappearance of the cook, and began to discuss Bai Yuyan's injury a few days ago.
"A few days ago, Bai Gongzi was beaten so badly, I heard that it was done by Lord An, maybe today's incident is also Bai Gongzi's helpless move, after all, it was their Huangfu family who did this first." The person next to him echoed, "I think there is also this possibility, Bai Gongzi has always been polite and polite, and he is very educated when he sees everyone, and he really doesn't look like a person who can do this kind of thing." Originally, I thought that Lord An was different from the people of the Huangfu family, but I didn't expect ......" After speaking, he sighed with some regret.
Huangfu Xue glanced at the audience in some surprise, and then glared at Bai Yuyan with disdain, "Bai Gongzi's ability to frame him is really pure and innocent, but Bai Gongzi thinks that today's matter can be overhauled like this?" Bai Yuyan was just about to speak, but the little guy ran up and whispered a few words in his ear, and then Bai Yuyan's face changed.
Damn, these idiots, you can't do such a trivial thing. Looking at Huang Fuxue again, his eyes were a little more sharp, "Don't be complacent too early, next time, this son will definitely convince you." Bai Yuyan pushed away the little guy and turned around and got out of the ring. Huangfu Xue looked at his back and smiled, and then made the decision unilaterally, and pulled An Mingchen back to the restaurant without counting today's competition.
"You've already figured it out, right?" An Mingchen had long known that she was smart and courageous, but he didn't expect her to be so resolute, so he didn't have to worry too much about her after he went to Ningcheng. Huang Fuxue walked over and hugged his neck and smiled, "If you hadn't helped me, I would have lost half of my chances." Therefore, it is still very good. ”
"What's going on with me beating Bai Yuyan?" An Mingchen also heard those rumors just now. Huangfu Xue knew about it, but it was just ...... It's been a few days, why was it suddenly taken out again, it's still at this juncture.
"Did you see any suspicious people in Huixiang Restaurant just now?" She always felt that the rumors just now were not released by Bai Yuyan. But if it weren't Bai Yusang, who would it be? "Maybe Bai Yuyan prepared it early in the morning just in case, don't worry about this, let's tell me what the hell is going on first."
"Actually, it's nothing, and I knew about it by accident." Huangfu Xue told Zheng Nianyuan about beating Bai Yuyan, and then pulled his sleeve a little apologetically, "Bai Yuyan is stupid, you must not be like a fool." ”
"Naturally, I don't get to know him in general. It's just that Zheng Gongzi helped us three or four times, shouldn't we have some expressions. ”
"There's no need to say anything, we just need to call him to the restaurant to sit down, even if he doesn't eat, he will be very happy." Huangfu Xue just said casually, who knew that when the magpie came in, he said that Zheng Nianyuan was coming. The two glanced at each other, and An Mingchen asked suspiciously, "What did you mean just now?" ”
"Really want to know?" Seeing him nodding, he smiled and took his hand, "You'll know if you go down with me." Zheng Nianyuan had already found a place to sit down, and An Qinyue was standing next to him to remember the dishes, and when he saw them coming down, he greeted them with a smile, "Third sister, you don't need to write it, just go directly to the things that Zheng Daxia ordered on weekdays." ”
"Okay." After An Qinyue left, the two walked to the side and sat down, "Why is Zheng Daxia free to come over today, but is there something?" ”
"It's okay, it's just that when I was passing by just now, I heard about your competition with Huixiang Restaurant...... Zheng Nianyuan saw that the two of them looked calm, and then he knew that it was okay, and then breathed a sigh of relief, "Lord An, I heard that you are about to go to Ningcheng to take office, and it is a long way to go, please take care of yourself." ”
"Thank you Zheng Daxia for your blessings with tea instead of wine. In addition, Zheng Daxia helped my mother and third sister three times and four times, and I want to thank you very much today, I don't know if Zheng Daxia will have something to do next......"
