C22 This Woman Was Not to be Trifled with
When Tao Xiyuan finished dealing with all the ingredients, Song Junlian had already brought Mu Chen to deal with the business. The restaurant also began to open for business.
With the opening of the restaurant yesterday, the business today was naturally even more boisterous than the previous day. However, just as noon approached, there were already very few empty seats in the restaurant.
Tao Xiyuan kept flipping the pot in her hands. Her forehead was already drenched in sweat, but she did not notice it at all. She only thought that this kind of life was not only fulfilling, but also full of hope.
Just as she was looking forward to the scene of Chenchen waking up, the lobby suddenly became noisy.
Immediately after, a guard came to report, "Madam, Dongfang Xiu is here."
Tao Xiyuan frowned. This person was really lingering around. It seemed that the lesson he taught her last time was not enough.
After putting the dishes in the pot, she walked towards the lobby.
At that time, Dongfang Xiu roughly grabbed the back of a customer who was eating and threw him to the side. He said arrogantly, "This is the seat that I have taken a fancy to. Hurry up and get lost!"
After saying that, he sat down and wiped his hands with disgust, as if his hands were covered in some filth.
When the customer saw that it was Dongfang Su, he did not dare to retort even if he was humiliated. Instead, he was so afraid that he immediately ran away.
When the other customers saw this, they felt a little scared in their hearts. Some of the timid ones also left with their chopsticks, afraid that they would provoke this god of plague.
Tao Xiyuan was immediately enraged. She first instructed the guards to appease the remaining customers, then she walked in front of Dongfang Xiu and said with a cold face, "What? Young Master Dongfang's skin is itchy again?"
Dongfang Su stood up and slammed the table hard. He glared fiercely at Tao Xiyuan and said, "You damn woman, are you courting death?! Do you believe that I will smash your crappy restaurant?!"
Tao Xiyuan crossed her arms and said indifferently, "A dog that bites doesn't bark. If you have a toothache, I don't mind pulling out two for you."
"You!" Dongfang Su was so angry that he clenched his teeth. His fists were so white, but he did not dare to make a move. The last time, he was a little scared.
There were many people here, so he did not want to lose face here.
He turned around and sat back down. He looked at the two legs sitting on the chair and smiled maliciously. "I am in a good mood today, so I won't argue with you. I came here to eat today. If you have any good dishes in this crappy restaurant, just order them!"
Tao Xiyuan looked at his beaten-up appearance and wanted to kick him out, but then she suddenly thought that since he came here uninvited, she should return the favor.
With that thought, she narrowed her eyes and smiled instead of being angry. "Since Young Master Dongfang is so generous, then I don't have any reason not to accept guests in my Eight Immortals Restaurant. Please move to the private room upstairs first. I will go and cook now."
After saying that, she turned around and walked towards the kitchen. There was a trace of cunning and coldness hidden in the corners of her lips.
Dongfang Su looked at her back and smiled proudly. He said to the servants behind him, "Look, this person is smart. Fight with me in your next life!"
Next life?
Alright, I'll send you on your way later.
Tao Xiyuan sneered and started preparing Dongfang Su's exclusive meal.
After the dishes were done, the guard at the side was worried that Tao Xiyuan would be made a fool of by Dongfang Su, so he said, "Madam, I'll go and send him off."
Tao Xiyuan waved her hand and sneered, "It's fine. Since he came for me, I naturally have to treat him well."
After saying that, she carried the plate and walked out.
The guard looked at her back and thought about the dishes that his wife had just made. He silently prayed for Dongfang Su in his heart for three seconds.
"Pah!"
Just as Tao Xiyuan walked to the table, a teacup exploded beside her feet, and the tea splashed onto the ground, leaving a trail of specks.
"Pah!" Dongfang Su spat out the tea in his mouth and shouted at Tao Xiyuan, "How dare you serve the water with a rag! I don't think this restaurant of yours is going to stay open!"
Fortunately, Tao Xiyuan reacted in time and dodged a few steps to the side. She was not splashed, but she still carried the plate in her hand and almost fell down. She staggered a few steps before she managed to steady herself.
She suppressed her anger and walked over to continue serving the dishes. "I don't care if you don't like the tea. I've made you a pot of good tea. Let's eat and digest the food."
Dongfang Su looked at her obedient appearance and was a little too proud of himself. He didn't notice the meaning behind her smile.
"It looks good, but I don't know if it suits your appetite." He glanced at the dishes and pointed at the chopsticks with his chin. He looked at Tao Xiyuan and said, "What are you standing there for? Quickly serve me!"
Tao Xiyuan looked at him and said lightly, "It is not impossible for me to serve someone, but the price is that I have to break one of my limbs first."
As she spoke, she glanced at Dongfang Su's limbs and said in a faint voice.
Dongfang Su's hands and legs immediately tightened when he was stared at by her cold eyes. He swallowed his saliva and said with his neck stiffened, "You, you dare to scare me? Do you believe that I will cut off your limbs first? Then I will lock you up in the backyard and torture you every day!"
When he finished speaking, his smile became even more wretched.
Tao Xiyuan raised her eyebrows and said indifferently, "Alright, come, try to touch me. But I still have to advise you to fill your stomach before you touch me. Only then will you have the strength, right?"
She paused for a moment and said with a smile, "This is something I prepared for you with great care. Why don't you try it?"
When Dongfang Su heard this, he smiled so much that his small eyes narrowed. "Since you prepared it for me, of course I have to try it."
Tao Xiyuan watched as he put the food into his mouth and the smile on her lips became wider.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
As soon as the food entered his mouth, the various kinds of choking smell pierced Dongfang Su's throat, causing him to cough. His face turned into the color of a pig's liver.
He fanned himself with one hand and pinched his neck with the other. He spat out his tongue and panted heavily. His appearance was not much different from a dog.
The servant by the side was scared out of his wits when he saw Dongfang Su's uncomfortable appearance.
"Water, water, quickly give me water!"
Tao Xiyuan saw the situation and handed over the tea she had made.
Dongfang Su was in a hurry to use the tea to quench the spiciness. He took the teapot and poured it into his mouth. He swallowed a big mouthful of it, but just as he swallowed it, he spat it out again.
"Ugh — bitter, bitter …"
It was both spicy and bitter. Dongfang Su was so uncomfortable that he rolled his eyes. He jumped up and down in the room, wishing he could cut his own tongue.
The servant was so anxious that he was at a loss for what to do. Seeing that there was soup on the table, he hurriedly scooped up a bowl for Dongfang Su. In the end, Dongfang Su was so salty that he was almost sent away that night, and he vomited until he was dizzy.
Dongfang Su was exhausted after struggling for a while. He fell to the ground and was on the verge of passing out. It was as if he was going to pass out in the next second. He was in such a miserable state. When the servant saw this, he hurriedly carried him and ran away.
Tao Xiyuan, on the other hand, walked out of the private room and continued to work.
In an instant, the entire restaurant was silent. The customers looked at Tao Xiyuan with a hint of respect.
This woman could not be provoked.
