The whole city lights up, and the lively nightlife begins.
Jinfu Tower.
The largest Chinese restaurant owned by Xiao's.
It is said that this business was started by the entire Xiao family.
For dozens of generations, the Xiao family was also a family of famous scholars.
Later, in the war-torn times, the literati's character could not satisfy their hunger, so they had no choice but to open a restaurant with their own chefs.
Back then, the mistress of the Xiao family had a craft passed down from family, and it was thanks to this that the Xiao family gained a firm foothold and the entire family was preserved.
Now that they have a family, the Xiao family has developed more and more industries, among which real estate, clothing, electrical appliances and furniture are very famous, even surpassing the traditional catering industry.
But Jinfulou has always been the oldest time-honored brand. No matter what industry the descendants of the Xiao family develop into, Jinfulou will always be open.
This seems to have become Xiao's spirit.
An endless stream of guests walked into the door of Jinfu Tower.
The dishes here are complete and delicious. The key is that many of the people who come here are old customers. They grew up eating here and even retain the memories of several generations.
Among this endless stream of guests, Yu Wanting, who had just gotten off work, quietly followed the flow of people and hid in the back kitchen.
For a restaurant, the most important thing is the kitchen.
It is very important here to ensure that the dishes are clean, the chefs are disciplined, and the operations are standardized, and outsiders are not allowed to enter.
However, Yu Wanting's father is the chef of Jinfulou. If she wants to come in to find her father, no one will stop her.
This is the time when there are many guests, and the kitchen is very busy.
The sounds of chopping vegetables, cooking vegetables, and passing vegetables are endless, and almost all communication with others relies on shouting.
Even if the sound is slightly lower, I can't hear it clearly.
It can be said that Yu Wanting is extremely familiar with this place.
Her father has been working here since she was born.
I was just a little vegetable cutter at first, and then I learned little by little from the chef.
As she grew older, her father's craftsmanship became better and better, and his salary became higher and higher.
There are many dishes that people outside can't get even after queuing for days. She just needs to ask for them and her dad will cook them for her.
Just like now, when she gets hungry after work, she will come over to the back kitchen and wander around.
Her father only had a daughter like her, and he doted on her very much. He was afraid that she would be hungry. When he saw her coming, he immediately said, "Tingting is here? Dad is busy at the moment, please wait for me!"
"Yes." Yu Wanting nodded, not caring about this at all. Instead, she stared at what was in the bottles and jars on the stove.
Many chefs passed by and greeted her with a friendly smile, "Tingting came to see your dad again?"
"Look at how lucky Lao Yuduo is, his daughter is so beautiful!"
"I'm so envious! That brat of mine is really invisible every day!"
Everyone was talking about it, and bluntly said that they almost all watched Yu Wanting grow up.
And this is not the first time Yu Wanting has come here. Everyone is not surprised.
Yu Wanting didn't speak much. She was as silent as she was when she was a child. When she was waiting for her father, she was silent.
I heard from relatives and friends that when she was two or three years old, she was very talkative, had two pigtails, and was very cute.
Ever since her mother ran away with another man when she was five years old, she has become like this.
Even though her father was so enthusiastic towards her outside, in fact her father was busy working all day long and was almost never at home during the day. He only came back late at night, when she had already fallen asleep.
Growing up, her father never even went to one of her parent-teacher meetings...
Oh, what kind of fatherly love is this?
No wonder my mother ran away with someone else...
Yu Wanting recalled all this with a cold hum, without any gratitude or guilt in her heart. She silently walked to the seasoning area, and when no one was paying attention, she poured a bottle of colorless and transparent liquid that had been prepared long ago into the soy sauce.
And vinegar.
Originally, these two condiments were dark, so if I added a little colorless and odorless condiments to dilute them, no one would notice.
Just as the pouring was finished, someone else happened to come over.
Yu Wanting quickly took back the bottle and acted as if she had just finished drinking water. No one doubted her.
After all, this girl grew up here. She doesn't talk much and looks quiet. Who would have thought that she would do something unexpected?
After doing all this, Yu Wanting turned around and left as quietly as when she came.
When Lao Yu came back from cooking a pot of vegetables, he found that his daughter was gone.
"Why did this kid leave without saying hello? I'm afraid he couldn't wait any longer..."
While muttering, someone behind him was urging, "Lao Yu! Hurry! The sweet and sour carp is ready to be served!"
"Come on, come on!" Lao Yu responded, looked around again to make sure his daughter was gone, and then turned back to the stove.
At this time, there are waves of diners, and it’s quite busy!
Half an hour later.
Hall dining area.
A little boy of five or six years old began to hold his stomach while eating, his facial features became distorted, and he cried and shouted, "Mom, my stomach hurts so much!"
"What's wrong?" The woman next to the boy hurriedly lowered her head to check, "Were you fine just now? Do you want to go to the toilet?"
"No, it hurts so much..." The boy's voice began to weaken, and there was a layer of sweat on his forehead!
Only then did the woman realize something was wrong, and just as she was about to get up and take him to the hospital, she saw a gray-haired man at the next table frowning and shouting, "Ouch... my stomach hurts..."
Then at the next few tables, people started holding their stomachs and shouting that they had stomachaches one after another!
"Ouch!"
The crowd began to panic, and the restaurant, which was originally bustling with people, became quiet for a moment.
I don't know who had the quickest reaction and shouted in the crowd, "Don't eat it, there must be something wrong with this dish!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone stared at the dishes in front of them, and many were so frightened that they even dropped their chopsticks!
And as time goes by, more and more people start to have stomach pains.
"There is something wrong with the food at Jinfulou, please stop eating it! Call 120 immediately!"
Everyone panicked, but a few who were in good health and still had some strength quickly took out their mobile phones to make calls.
The lobby manager of Jinfulou also rushed over quickly, "Don't panic, everyone, we have called 120 and will send you to the hospital right away!"
With such a large area of unified symptoms, the possibility of food poisoning is very high!
The lobby manager's heart was pounding, and he quickly contacted the senior management of Xiao's, and notified the kitchen to stop serving food. The diners on the upper and lower floors were told not to eat anything yet.
The door is also closed. New customers cannot enter the store, and those who have already entered the store cannot leave.
The guests who were about to come in to eat outside the door looked inside curiously, "What's going on? Why aren't we allowed in?"
