Chapter 130 Eating a Rat
Chapter 130 Eating a Rat
Because the distance is quite far, he has to go out for a few days to confirm whether it is true.
Li Xiaoxiao has become immune to his uncertainty. She has said yes many times, but in the end it was no. His grandmother is old, and Li Xiaoxiao understands her eagerness to find her daughter back, but she can't do anything to help. She only hopes to find her daughter as soon as possible.
The busy work was almost over when customers came in. They were two young people, wearing brocade and silk clothes, but the clothes were loose and didn't fit them well. As soon as they entered the store, they looked around curiously, just like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, with faces that showed they had never seen the world.
Li Xiaoxin was puzzled. They didn't look worldly-wise from their attire, but their behavior seemed strange in every way.
They called Ergou over and whispered something in his ear. Ergou glanced at the two of them, nodded repeatedly, and ran to the kitchen.
"Dear guests, you are the lucky customers of our restaurant today. We would like to offer you our new dishes for free. Please follow me upstairs." Li Xiaoxiao came forward with a smile and made a gesture of invitation.
When they heard there was free food, they were excited and hurriedly followed Li Xiaoxiao up to the second floor. Li Xiaoxiao took them all the way to a private room farthest from the hall.
The private room was clean and tidy. The two sat down, touching and looking left and right, unable to hide the joy in their eyes. Li Xiaoxiao watched them calmly and did not leave. She listened carefully, but could not hear any sound from the hall. After a while, Ergou started to serve the dishes.
The first dish served was the restaurant's specialty hotpot, which was filled with all kinds of vegetables and meat dishes. The two of them stared with their eyes wide open, and one of them even drooled at the corner of his mouth. He seemed to be afraid of being discovered, so he raised his sleeves and wiped the corner of his mouth with the sleeves. The saliva was instantly wiped onto the sleeves, leaving a stain.
"You two are lucky guests of our restaurant today. I'll give you a plate of rabbit meat for free. I hope you enjoy your meal." Li Xiaoxiao put the last plate of rabbit meat on the table, turned around and left with Ergou.
Hearing the footsteps outside the door getting farther and farther away, the two of them poured all the meat dishes on the table into the hot pot like hungry wolves. The fruit wood charcoal underneath was burning vigorously. After a while, the meat in the pot was cooked. The two of them took turns with their chopsticks, not caring about the heat, and ate all the meat one bite after another soon.
He didn't notice at all that there was a figure in the corridor outside the door, listening to their movements.
After burping comfortably, he lazily put the vegetables into the pot to continue cooking. One of the short men said, "Brother, we are so lucky today. Someone actually invited us to such a nice restaurant for dinner and gave us clothes. The restaurant also gave us rabbits and let us into the private room. Is our luck starting to change?"
"Eat quickly. Don't forget that you still have things to do after you finish eating." The tall man kept talking. Dashalou is different. The meat is so delicious. He hasn't eaten meat for a long time. The vegetables are also delicious when cooked in the pot. You can even taste the meat. It's amazing.
"I'll listen to you, big brother." The short man took a big bite of the vegetables and began to eat them voraciously.
After a long time, the two of them touched their round bellies and burped with satisfaction.
"Brother, it would be great if we could have a meal like this every day." Looking at the mess on the table, the short man sighed.
"Just think about good things. It's a famine year now and we're lucky enough to have enough to eat. Okay, stop talking nonsense and take out the things. Don't forget what to do next." The tall man was obviously calmer than the short one. They had eaten the food and were grateful for what they had eaten. Naturally, they had to do what others asked them to do.
The short man found a cloth bag from somewhere, and inside the bag was a dead mouse. He threw it into the pot and stirred it with a spoon so that it sunk to the bottom of the pot.
Seeing that the matter was settled, the tall man walked to the door and shouted outside: "Waiter, we found a dead rat in the hot pot."
Ergou heard the noise from upstairs, exchanged a glance with Li Xiaoxiao, and quickly ran up: "Sir, this is impossible. Our restaurant has just opened, and the hygiene is very good. It is impossible for that thing to exist."
"What do you mean impossible? Look for yourself and see what that is." The short man looked arrogant. He pulled Ergou and pressed his head right in front of the hot pot so that he could see clearly what was inside.
"We check before serving the food, and everything is clean. There is no way such a big rat could be in the pot." Ergou insisted after seeing the rat in the pot.
"Okay, I found a rat in my food at your restaurant. It's not from your restaurant, so maybe I brought it here myself." The short man obviously wanted to make a big deal out of it, and he shouted at the top of his voice, as if he was afraid that others couldn't hear him.
The noise from the second floor quickly attracted the guests in the private room and the lobby downstairs, who all stretched their necks to see what was happening inside.
A group of people soon gathered at the door, and they also heard the short man's shouting.
"What's going on? Is there really a rat in the hot pot?"
"No, it looks quite clean."
"That's not necessarily true. In a big hotel like this, there are the most rats. You can't see them during the day, but at night, there's a lot of noise in the kitchen."
"If that's the case, don't come here again."
"Don't worry, it won't kill you. Every restaurant has it, you just can't see it."
"Yes, it's probably just a coincidence."
"The hygiene of this restaurant is really worrying. I won't come here again. It's so unlucky to get something like that while eating."
Li Xiaoxiao heard their conversation clearly, his eyes twinkled: "Big guy, please make way, I am the owner of this shop."
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd automatically made way for Li Xiaoxiao, and Li Xiaoxiao walked over quickly. Seeing Li Xiaoxiao, the other two became even more proud, with a look of arrogance on their faces. It all depends on how you end up.
"Is this your first time in our restaurant?" Li Xiaoxiao glanced at the leftovers on the table without leaving a trace. They ate very cleanly.
"So what? After what happened today, your restaurant has to give us an explanation. If anything gets sick from the food, we have old and young in our family and we will have to live in your restaurant from now on. Please serve us with good food and drinks. Otherwise, this matter will not be over." The short man said arrogantly. Seeing that Li Xiaoxiao was just a little girl, he thought she was easy to bully.
"No, my stomach hurts. Go get me a doctor. I feel sick all over."
