As soon as Chen Fan said that, Jin Yu Tang's Boss became even more energized.
If he could be remembered by Elder Qian now, he would be awesome in the future.
Immediately, without any hesitation, he pointed at Chen Fan's nose and started scolding him.
"You little bastard, I think you're looking for death, still dreaming of making Elder Qian apologize. Why don't you go pee and look at yourself to see what kind of person you are."
Not only Jin Yu Tang's Boss, but many others also reacted.
One by one, they all greeted Chen Fan with insults.
Chen Fan narrowed his eyes, looking at Elder Qian with an amused expression.
Chen Fan was confident in his dish; as long as Elder Qian took one bite, the rest would be easy.
Now, the only worry was that Elder Qian wouldn't fall for it.
Looking at Elder Qian again, his beard was trembling with anger.
After taking several deep breaths, Elder Qian slowly said, "Child, I'm old but not muddled. I know you're deliberately trying to provoke me."
"Very good, very good, you gambled correctly this time, this old man actually falls for this kind of trick."
"If your scrambled eggs can satisfy me, everything will be fine, but if not, then Yunxi Manor won't need to continue operating."
Elder Qian spoke very seriously; it was clear this matter was very grave.
At this moment, even Liu Yunxi was no longer calm.
Yunxi Manor was a trial given to her by her family; if she could make her family look at her with new eyes, she would receive considerable benefits upon returning to the family.
But...
Thinking of this, Liu Yunxi was already a little panicked.
She glared fiercely at Chen Fan, though she was already regretting it deeply in her heart.
But now was not the time to argue about who was right or wrong; everything had to wait until Elder Qian was appeased.
"Old sir..." Before she could finish, Elder Qian interrupted Liu Yunxi impatiently.
"No need to say more, Boss Liu, rest assured, I guarantee with my integrity that I will be fair and impartial."
With words spoken to this extent, Liu Yunxi could only close her mouth sullenly.
Chen Fan knew what Liu Yunxi was worried about, but now Elder Qian had taken the bait.
There would be no surprises with his eggs, which had been transformed by the gourd.
Chen Fan smiled at Liu Yunxi, "Boss Liu, I've helped you a great deal this time, remember your promise."
Liu Yunxi's face turned green.
But her family's upbringing still made her endure it.
Meanwhile, Jin Yu Tang's Boss gloated.
Yunxi Manor, his competitor, had taken away many of his customers.
If Yunxi Manor went out of business, he would wake up laughing from his dreams.
"Haha! Boss Liu, you truly have a discerning eye for people, congratulations, congratulations."
Listening to Jin Yu Tang's Boss's taunts, Chen Fan narrowed his eyes and looked at him.
"Can't you be sold as a mute if you don't speak?"
"Listen carefully, don't blame me for not giving you a chance if you regret it later."
These words made Jin Yu Tang's Boss a little confused, then he burst into laughter.
"Regret? The word 'regret' doesn't exist in my dictionary."
Chen Fan couldn't be bothered with him; everything would be revealed in due time.
At this moment, the noisy sounds gradually ceased.
The fuming Elder Qian sat back down in his seat.
He looked at the scrambled eggs in front of him. To be honest, for a tongue that had tasted countless delicacies, this thing was truly difficult to swallow.
But a promise is a promise; at worst, he would take a bite and spit it out.
Elder Qian stared for a full ten seconds.
And these ten seconds felt like an eternity to Liu Yunxi and the others.
Under everyone's gaze, Elder Qian picked up his chopsticks, took a mouthful of scrambled eggs, and put it into his mouth.
The moment the egg entered his mouth, Elder Qian's face, full of anger, instantly turned to shock.
Seeing Elder Qian's expression, Jin Yu Tang's Boss was the first to speak up again.
He shouted at the top of his lungs, "Did everyone see that! Did everyone see that, Elder Qian was disgusted and almost threw up! I strongly suspect Yunxi Manor used gutter oil!"
Jin Yu Tang's Boss was too malicious.
A single mention of gutter oil, that was a matter of food safety.
Even if it wasn't true, with word spreading, a lie could become the truth.
Sure enough, someone else joined in, "That's too much, simply too much! To make Elder Qian eat gutter oil, is Yunxi Manor trying to die?"
"Everyone, call the food safety bureau to report them! We can't let this unscrupulous restaurant ruin the reputation of our Qing Shi Food Street!"
...
Seeing the situation subtly getting out of control, Liu Yunxi was truly angry this time.
Poorly made dishes were a matter of skill.
But now, to slander her for using gutter oil, that was a matter of conscience.
"Nonsense! What evidence do you have?"
"Evidence? Elder Qian's expression is the evidence!"
"Exactly! Yunxi Manor, hurry up and close down!"
...
Liu Yunxi's single sentence instantly drew ten rebuttals.
Accused by thousands, Liu Yunxi was at a loss for words.
The Head Chef quickly came to Elder Qian's side.
He was quick-witted and was about to take away the scrambled eggs in front of Elder Qian.
"Elder Qian, don't let this thing offend your eyes. I'll throw it out to feed the dogs right away."
Looking at the Head Chef's outstretched hand, Elder Qian finally snapped out of the delicious taste.
A simple plate of scrambled eggs, yet it surpassed all the delicacies he had ever eaten.
One bite, and it was as if his tongue melted, with an endless aftertaste, and even his breathing carried a sweet fragrance.
This feeling was unprecedented, as if it had impacted the depths of his soul.
And in this aftertaste, he saw someone actually trying to take away the plate of scrambled eggs in front of him.
Are you kidding me! What a huge joke.
With a bang, Elder Qian directly pressed down on the scrambled eggs.
"What are you trying to do?"
Seeing Elder Qian get angry, the Head Chef's sweat dripped down.
In his opinion, this plate of scrambled eggs was probably too disgusting, and it was being kept as evidence.
For a moment, the Head Chef's voice even trembled a little.
"Elder Qian, listen to my explanation..."
Before the Head Chef could finish, Jin Yu Tang's Boss laughed loudly.
"Explain what! Let me tell you, Elder Qian's tongue can taste everything! There must be gutter oil in here, this is the evidence!"
"Exactly! Don't let Yunxi Manor destroy this evidence!"
"Elder Qian, we all support you!"
...
The situation once again spiraled out of control.
And just as everyone thought that Yunxi Manor was about to be pushed over like a collapsing wall,
The always silent Elder Qian suddenly slammed the table.
"Everyone shut up! All of you, shut up! You don't know a thing!"
Seeing Elder Qian get angry, the noisy Yunxi Manor quieted down at this moment.
Although they stopped talking, everyone looked at Liu Yunxi with schadenfreude.
Now they were just waiting for Elder Qian to make his announcement; at that point, the entire Qing Shi Food Street would have one less competitor.
Meanwhile, Liu Yunxi's face was clouded with worry.
Although she regretted it deeply in her heart, it was useless to dwell on these things now. Instead, it was better to put her limited energy into figuring out how to solve this problem.
As for that damned guy, Liu Yunxi glared fiercely at Chen Fan, "After this matter is settled, I'll deal with you!"
