Chapter 9: Dog Tired
Old Fang called out. Shi Caining nodded and silently went to get the ingredients with her assistant.
She had become a chef thanks to her grandmother. Her grandmother was very good at cooking. After she became sensible, she realized that she was not welcome by her mother, so Shi Caining worked hard to learn more.
Cooking, dancing, drawing, and so on were all taught by herself. It was a pity that other than cooking, she did not need anything else.
The head chef, Old Fang, had a very discerning eye. However, he and Shi Tianming were old classmates, so he gave Shi Caining a chance.
He did not expect that Shi Caining's dishes would be even more delicious than a head chef like him. Old Fang felt as if he had obtained a treasure and vowed to train Shi Caining to become a head chef.
After the two dishes were done, another ten minutes later, Old Fang came back and laughed happily. "Caining, the customer said that your dishes are not bad. He continued to order more than ten dishes. You should be the one to handle five of the main dishes, right? They quite like your taste."
Shi Caining felt a little strange. "Master Fang, how can the two of them eat so much?"
"Haha, Little Cai, you don't know, right? Because that person has attracted more than ten friends, that's why they ordered more dishes."
At this moment, the little chef, who was called 'big mouth' by Old Fang, talked.
Shi Caining did not have any thoughts. Having more customers was a good thing, because this restaurant's business was not very good to begin with since the location was a little out of the way.
However, the owner was not willing to advertise the restaurant in the city, so the people who knew about the restaurant were probably his friends.
There would be more customers at night, but it was usually rather quiet at noon.
The restaurant had just opened for three months. If the results were improved, Old Fang would naturally be very happy. After all, it was related to his bonus.
After half an hour, the general manager of the restaurant suddenly rushed in and asked angrily, "Who made that Jade Spring Duck just now?"
Shi Caining turned around and immediately had a bad premonition.
"Manager... It's me." Shi Caining stood up and tried her best to ask calmly, "Manager Zhang, what's wrong with that dish?"
Old Fang also hurriedly walked over, his expression a little gloomy. "Manager, there's someone outside looking for trouble with Caining?"
"Looking for trouble? Come on, you! How did you cook that dish? There were actually two long strands of hair in it! Shi Caining, do you know their identities? They came because of the fame, because they heard that the Jade Spring Duck you cooked was too delicious, but you actually played such a trick on me!"
Manager Zhang's face turned black as he said angrily, "Now, go out and apologize to them immediately! Also, they spent 5760 yuan today. Because of your two strands of hair, our restaurant has to give all of it for free. You can use your salary to offset this 5760 yuan!"
Shi Caining's head buzzed, as if a surge of hot blood rushed over. More than 5000 yuan! Her internship salary was only 1500 yuan a month!
Furthermore, she always wore a chef's hat when she was cooking. How could her hair fall into the dishes? Someone must have intentionally targeted her.
But, who could it be? A member of the Qiao family?
Old Fang said in a low voice, "Caining, regardless of whether that hair belongs to you or not, those guests are not ordinary people. Bear with it for now. Don't make them feel uncomfortable. If there's a fight... Our boss probably won't be able to protect you..."
Shi Caining was startled. Previously, she had also heard that the two guests' identities were not ordinary. Now, from the sounds of it, they were probably from the Qiao family.
