The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 852 - 850: Coming to Hold Someone Accountable
Seeing so many people outside Chu’s Restaurant, Ma Jingtian was absolutely delighted.
Since Chu’s Restaurant opened, today has been the busiest.
Fortunately, they prepared a generous amount of food; the sugar lotus root is plentiful, and Xin Lin also prepared new golden honey.
"Little Boss, there are indeed a lot of people today, this time we might actually have a chance to beat Taoyao Pavilion. I went to Taoyao Pavilion this morning to have a look, and it was deserted."
Jingtian said gleefully.
Many of Taoyao Pavilion’s employees have been directly out on the street trying to pull customers in, but once people enter Taoyao Pavilion, they quickly leave. It’s said their Spiritual Longevity Peach Buns taste different.
"Don’t celebrate too early; it’s just the morning. You have to wait until the evening when we close to see the real outcome."
Xin Lin remained cautious and instructed Ma Jingtian and others to be mindful when serving.
By noon, she had already secured 901 regular customers, just dozens short of the 1,000 regular customer goal.
No sooner than lunch time ended when a commotion was heard outside.
"Everyone step aside!"
Master Chen from De Yue Building stormed in angrily, leading a group of Spiritual Delicacy Masters.
"Master Chen, what brings you here?"
Xin Lin showed a surprised expression.
"What brings me here? Xin Lin, you know exactly what you’ve done."
Master Chen reprimanded.
"Master Chen, I don’t understand what you mean."
Xin Lin looked puzzled.
"Everyone listen up, you’ve been deceived."
Master Chen eyed the packed Chu’s Restaurant with jealousy.
It was agreed that De Yue Building, Chu’s Restaurant, and Taoyao Pavilion would host the Spiritual Banquet outside the palace together.
But after three days, first Taoyao Pavilion took the lead, then suddenly Chu’s Restaurant surpassed them.
De Yue Building is undoubtedly the largest and most famous Spiritual Food Restaurant in the city, yet business was eerily quiet.
There were very few diners, and by noon today, the vast De Yue Building had only two tables of guests, leaving the staff idle.
What made Master Chen even more dissatisfied was that Xin Lin had put the unlucky sign back up.
But ever since the sign was back at Chu’s Restaurant, nothing unlucky had happened.
Chu’s Restaurant was thriving with guests, its business booming, which left Master Chen quite displeased.
At this moment, he suddenly got news that Chu’s Restaurant used forbidden herbs to cook pastries to attract customers.
"Your sugar lotus root is toxic! I’ve said, how can a few pieces of sugar lotus root draw such a crowd!"
Master Chen said triumphantly.
The surrounding guests, upon hearing this, turned pale with fear.
"My lotus root is toxic? Master Chen, you shouldn’t say such things carelessly."
Xin Lin’s face changed initially, then she tried to remain calm.
"Whether I’m speaking carelessly or not, a search will reveal the truth. Someone reported that you used firewood soaked in Forbidden Lotus to cook pastries. That firewood is in your kitchen right now; search!"
Master Chen waved his hand, and several staff rushed into Xin Lin’s kitchen like starving wolves.
"Everyone, don’t panic. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with our sugar lotus root."
Xin Lin had Ma Jingtian reassure the guests.
Soon, a pile of firewood was brought out.
"These are the ones. Xin Lin, do you have anything to say now?"
Master Chen pointed at the pile of firewood.
"They’re just ordinary firewood. If you don’t believe it, you can have them tested."
Xin Lin spread her hands.
Master Chen snorted twice.
"I will test them."
At that moment, President Mu Cang stepped out.
