In response to this question, Yuan Tiantian shook her head with a gentle smile.
"Sorry, I really can't agree to this."
Before coming to this world, Yuan Tiantian already had a master, and she respected her master very much. Naturally, she wouldn't take on a new one.
Seeing Yuan Tiantian's firm refusal, Fang Xieqing felt a bit disappointed, but he quickly perked up.
"It's okay. You don't have to be my apprentice. I can still teach you how to cook!"
Yuan Tiantian still shook her head with a smile.
"Chef Fang, really no need. I actually own a restaurant myself, but it's not in City B."
Then Yuan Tiantian told him about Tiantian Food Store.
Upon hearing this, the other person was immediately shocked.
"You're the owner of Tiantian Food Store?"
He had long heard of Tiantian Food Store. Many customers had told him that the food there was delicious. But due to his busy schedule, he had never had the chance to go and check it out himself. He never expected to meet the owner today.
"No wonder, no wonder..."
Looking at how young Yuan Tiantian was, Fang Xieqing sighed inwardly. The younger generation was truly formidable. No wonder she could taste the slight spoilage in the bamboo shoots. She was clearly an expert.
Just then, there was a knock on the door, and a young man in his thirties walked in. He wasn't very old, but his beer belly was quite prominent.
"Xie Hua!"
This was the Xie Hua Fang Xieqing was looking for, the supervisor that Manager Luo had encountered twice in the kitchen.
"Chef Fang?"
Xie Hua had been called out by Manager Luo, saying that Fang Xieqing was looking for him. He thought it might be because of the customers, but when he came in, the atmosphere between Fang Xieqing and this table of people didn't seem too bad.
However, when Fang Xieqing saw him, his face immediately darkened.
What was going on? Today's trouble had even reached him.
"What's wrong with the bamboo shoots today?"
As soon as Xie Hua walked over and greeted the guests, Fang Xieqing immediately stepped aside and questioned him.
Hearing Fang Xieqing's question, Xie Hua's heart skipped a beat.
He thought it was bad, but he still stubbornly held his ground on the surface.
"What's wrong with the bamboo shoots?"
Xie Hua looked innocent. Fang Xieqing squinted at him. He didn't miss the flash of panic in Xie Hua's eyes just now.
Sure enough, there was a problem in the kitchen.
"What's wrong?"
Fang Xieqing snorted at him and then said calmly.
"The bamboo shoots today are spoiled. This diner tasted it."
Saying that, Fang Xieqing pointed at Yuan Tiantian, who slightly nodded at Xie Hua.
Hearing this, Xie Hua subconsciously swallowed his saliva and then argued.
"That can't be. Minglan Hotel gets fresh ingredients every day."
Hearing this, Yuan Tiantian didn't say a word. She just stared at the other person calmly. Xie Hua felt a chill down his spine under Yuan Tiantian's calm gaze.
Helpless, he turned to look at Fang Xieqing.
"Chef Fang, really, the ingredients must be okay."
Seeing that Xie Hua was still arguing at this point, Fang Xieqing was extremely disappointed. Then he said coldly to him,
"I've tasted them myself. There's definitely a problem."
"I'll report this to the higher - ups."
Hearing Fang Xieqing's words, Xie Hua's face immediately turned ugly.
"Chef Fang, this..."
Xie Hua was about to say something else, but Fang Xieqing interrupted him directly.
"You don't need to tell me. Since there's a problem with the bamboo shoots, I definitely have to report it. As for how the investigation will proceed later, I don't care."
After saying that, Fang Xieqing bowed deeply to Yuan Tiantian.
"Thank you, Miss Yuan, for discovering this. I'll treat you to this meal today. I have some urgent matters to deal with now. I'm really sorry."
When Fang Xieqing bowed to thank her, Yuan Tiantian quickly stood up. Hearing what he said, she immediately replied.
"It's okay, it's okay. As long as you can handle it as soon as possible."
After all, they were spoiled bamboo shoots. If a child or someone with a weak stomach ate them, something might go wrong.
It all depended on one's physical constitution.
Just like this, Fang Xieqing led the dejected Xie Hua out of the Yunwan private room.
As soon as they left, Yuan Lele and the others looked at Yuan Tiantian in disbelief.
"There really is a problem!"
All of them had eaten this dish of bamboo shoots today, but none of them had felt anything wrong. In particular, Yan Qing had eaten quite a bit.
Thinking about it now, she felt a bit nauseous in her stomach. This was all due to the powerful psychological effect.
"Miss Yuan, you're really amazing!"
Seeing what Yuan Tiantian had done today, Fu Jinming had originally thought she was a bit difficult to deal with. Now it seemed that she was extremely talented. She could tell that the bamboo shoots were spoiled with just one bite, and she did it when no one else had noticed!
"I ate a lot. Will I be okay?"
Yan Qing was worried about this now. Yuan Tiantian shook her head at her.
"An adult's stomach should be able to handle it. There probably won't be any big problems."
Unless one had a rather weak stomach, then there might be some problems, such as vomiting and diarrhea.
After getting Yuan Tiantian's answer, Yan Qing felt a bit relieved.
Seeing her younger sister like this, Yuan Lele felt a sense of pride well up in her heart. This was her younger sister, her amazing younger sister!
By now, the food had almost gone cold. Yuan Lele had no mood to continue entertaining, and the others felt the same way.
At this meal today, they had eaten very little food, but they had stumbled upon a big piece of news.
The group was about to go back. Yuan Lele was going to pay the bill when she was informed that Chef Fang had already paid for their table.
"Let's go."
Yuan Lele didn't dwell on it. To be honest, it was quite unpleasant to eat spoiled food in Minglan Hotel. If it weren't for her younger sister's excellent taste buds, they would all have been deceived.
So, Yuan Lele unceremoniously accepted Fang Xieqing's treat. She regarded it as compensation from Minglan Hotel.
When they reached the front desk of Minglan Hotel, they were stopped by a lobby supervisor.
"Please stay for a moment, everyone."
Everyone stopped and looked at her in confusion. She was carrying quite a few bags.
"Thank you for your help to Minglan Hotel today. This is just a small token of our appreciation."
Saying that, the supervisor handed the bags to Yuan Tiantian and the others. Yuan Tiantian took them directly. Seeing that Yuan Tiantian had reached out to take them, the others did the same.
Inside the bags were desserts made by Minglan Hotel. There were a total of six kinds.
Normally, if sold separately, six of them would cost at least 500 yuan.
"I hope your hotel will handle this matter seriously."
After Yuan Tiantian received the gifts, she smiled at the supervisor and then turned around and left. The others carried the small gifts and followed.
"Is this hush money?"
Fu Jinming said uncertainly. Yuan Tiantian laughed when she heard this.
It was almost that meaning.
She didn't have any particular thoughts about this behavior. As long as Minglan Hotel could handle this problem seriously, she didn't plan to do anything.
This small gift could be regarded as a pleasant surprise.
Outside, the group went their separate ways. Before leaving, He Xiao added Yuan Tiantian on WeChat.
"I'll go to Tiantian Food Store to taste the delicious food when I'm free."
He Xiao said with a smile. Yuan Tiantian responded politely.
"You're always welcome."
Seeing them communicate harmoniously, Sheng Jing tightened his lips.
That unpleasant feeling came back again, especially when he saw the gentle look in He Xiao's eyes when looking at Yuan Tiantian.
He was really unhappy.
