The back kitchen was filled with a strong smell of smoke and fire.
The clanging of pots, pans, and bowls sounded like a chaotic symphony.
But as Chen Fan's voice fell, it was as if a pause button had been pressed, and the entire back kitchen instantly fell silent.
Liu Yunxi frowned and glanced at Chen Fan, seemingly wondering who he was.
Before Liu Yunxi could speak, the Head Chef slammed a towel onto the table.
He glared and asked, "Who are you? What are you doing in our back kitchen!"
"Someone, get him out of here."
The apprentices in the back kitchen immediately sprang into action.
Facing all this, Chen Fan was not flustered at all; he calmly looked at the beautiful woman, Liu Yunxi.
"Boss Liu, don't rush, let me say a few words first. If you're not satisfied, I'll scram immediately."
As soon as Chen Fan finished speaking, the back kitchen apprentices had already run over.
One of them raised an arm, pointing towards the door and saying, "Roll out yourself, or should I do it?"
Chen Fan ignored him, his gaze still calmly fixed on Liu Yunxi.
After a few breaths, Liu Yunxi said faintly, "Stop, I'll listen to what this little guy has to say."
The Head Chef, upon hearing this, first gave Chen Fan a fierce glare, but ultimately did not defy Liu Yunxi's order.
However, there was no hint of politeness in his tone.
"Kid, you'd better not cause trouble, or I'll let you taste what a fist the size of a clay pot feels like."
Chen Fan smiled slightly, organizing his thoughts.
"Boss Liu, that old man outside seems a bit difficult. Tell me honestly, what's the likelihood of satisfying him?"
The reason Chen Fan said this was because he could largely tell by looking into Liu Yunxi's eyes.
Indeed, facing Chen Fan's words, Liu Yunxi did not speak.
Instead, the Head Chef beside her was instantly ignited with anger.
He glared and cursed, "Kid, are you looking for a beating?"
Chen Fan glanced at the Head Chef, then leisurely said, "He didn't even look at the signature dish. If I'm not mistaken, even if Boss Liu you personally cooked, the probability of satisfying that old man is less than ten percent, right?"
Honest words are often harsh, and these words felt like a thorn, piercing deeply into everyone's hearts.
The most hot-tempered Head Chef couldn't hold back anymore.
He rolled up his sleeves, revealing arms as thick as a normal person's calf.
"I see it now, you Little beast are here to cause trouble. Today, I'll personally throw you out."
With that, the Head Chef was about to make a move.
"Stop! Are you the boss or am I the boss?" Liu Yunxi frowned, a hint of anger on her face.
The Head Chef was tall and burly, but he seemed to shrink by half a head when facing Liu Yunxi.
He said somewhat aggrievedly, "Bo-boss, this Xiao Tuzi is most likely here to cause trouble..."
Before the Head Chef could finish, Liu Yunxi shot him a look, and he grudgingly shut his mouth.
After a brief silence, Liu Yunxi frowned and looked at Chen Fan.
"What exactly do you want to do?"
Seeing that the fish had taken the bait, Chen Fan smiled slightly.
"I can satisfy that old man."
"Of course, if you don't believe me, I'll leave immediately."
Chen Fan's words made Liu Yunxi's brows furrow even tighter; she began to ponder.
Suddenly, a waiter ran in, looking panicked.
Upon seeing Liu Yunxi, the waiter quickly said, "Boss, Elder Qian is angry."
"Elder Qian said, said... if he doesn't see the signature dish in five minutes, he'll just leave."
After these words were spoken, a gasp echoed throughout the back kitchen.
Five minutes! It's impossible to cook a dish in that time...
For a moment, everyone's gaze fell on Liu Yunxi.
After a brief silence, the Head Chef once again rolled up his sleeves and shouted.
"You really are here to cause trouble! If it weren't for you wasting time, how could things have turned out like this? I'll slap you to death!"
Looking at the Head Chef, whose eyes were wide and round, Chen Fan raised the corner of his mouth and smiled slightly.
"Five minutes is enough! Boss Liu, it seems you no longer have a choice."
"You can rest assured, I will definitely satisfy that old gentleman. If not, you can do whatever you want with me."
Things had come to this point, and Liu Yunxi truly had no other options.
Moreover, she knew in her heart that even if Chen Fan hadn't been causing trouble here, her chances of satisfying Elder Qian were less than ten percent.
Given that, she might as well take a gamble.
First, she stopped the furious Head Chef, then looked at Chen Fan, Liu Yunxi said, "I trust you."
After speaking, she tossed the chef's hat on her head to Chen Fan.
"I hope you can deliver on your promise, otherwise..."
Before Liu Yunxi could finish, Chen Fan casually tossed the chef's hat onto the table.
"I'm not used to wearing this. Don't worry, it's foolproof."
Chen Fan said this, but almost no one in the entire back kitchen believed him.
And out of deference to Liu Yunxi, everyone was angry but dared not speak.
Chen Fan looked around and slowly walked towards the stove.
Liu Yunxi let out a soft sigh, then looked at the people in the back kitchen and said, "You all assist him."
Everyone's expression froze, but they could not defy Liu Yunxi's order.
At this moment, the Head Chef led the way to Chen Fan, and he huffed, "Time is pressing, I'll trust you for now."
"What ingredients do you need? I'll prepare them right away."
Chen Fan turned on the liquefied gas and took out the eggs he carried with him.
"No need, just don't interfere."
This sentence almost made the Head Chef die of anger.
Of course, he was also full of curiosity.
There were many dishes that could be made with eggs, but in this situation, the Head Chef really couldn't think of any dish that could be served.
Chen Fan ignored all this and focused on scrambling the eggs.
This was not difficult; even a child could do it.
When the eggs were scrambled, Chen Fan smiled and looked at Liu Yunxi.
And watching Chen Fan stop moving, everyone present was stunned.
After a short while, the Head Chef was the first to lose his patience; he urged him on.
"What are you waiting for! What's next? Time is already running out."
Chen Fan smiled slightly, "Not waiting for anything, this is the dish I'm going to cook."
After Chen Fan spoke, one could clearly feel everyone's faces darken.
Even the atmosphere in the back kitchen became oppressive.
Looking at the Head Chef again, his mouth twitched, and his murderous gaze could no longer be hidden.
"Damn Little beast, you really are here to cause trouble! I'll stab you to death today!"
When this guy's temper flared, he was like a mad bull.
He grabbed a cleaver, looking ready to fight to the death.
Not only the Head Chef, but the other people in the back kitchen were also furious.
Although they didn't draw knives, they were all eager to act, just waiting for Liu Yunxi's command.
Facing all this, Chen Fan looked calmly at Liu Yunxi and said, "Boss Liu, don't worry, this plate of scrambled eggs will definitely satisfy Elder Qian."
"You little brat, I see you won't shed a tear until you see your coffin."
With that, the cleaver was about to come down...
