Chapter 391 Not the First Time

It was 05:30 in the afternoon when the two arrived at Baishan Garden. Although this time is not considered a formal meal time, there are usually many customers who come to occupy seats in advance and wait, and they are still used to eating at this time For the dinner guests, the doorway was unusually deserted today.

What's more, because there are still layers of walls inside, the door has always been wide open, but this meeting is closed.

Shao Qi locked the car and got down and frowned when he saw this scene, then he subconsciously looked at Liang Lixia who also got out of the car.

Liang Lixia didn't think too much about it, he just thought it wasn't the time yet, so no one came in or out at all.

She was about to walk towards the door as if nothing had happened, but was held back by Shao Qi hesitantly.

"What's wrong?" Liang Lixia was taken aback, and turned to look at him suspiciously.

Shao Qi's complexion was a bit complicated, and he told her that Baishanyuan was very good, and the business was booming. It seemed that something happened, and it was just a slap in the face.

But that's not the most important thing, the most important thing is, why didn't anyone contact him?
"Wait first, I'll go in and take a look." Shao Qi frowned, let go of her after speaking, and took the lead in striding forward to push the door in.

I just walked in, and before I saw anyone, I heard a hasty female voice saying apologetically: "I'm sorry sir, this store is temporarily closed. In order to express our apology, please accept this."

Seeing the beautiful exchange voucher handed to him, Shao Qi's expression sank, he glanced over the head of the waitress, and asked in a cold voice: "What happened? Why did you close the business?"

Hearing this familiar voice, the waitress paused, then raised her head almost in surprise and said, "Manager Shao, you're finally back!"

Then he consciously said in a hurry: "There is something wrong with the kitchen. There is a shortage of ingredients, and we can't make dinner at all. We have no choice but to stop entertaining guests for the time being."

"Lack of ingredients?" Shao Qi frowned even tighter. "Didn't you just check it this morning? If there is any shortage, go to the porridge garden and make some first. Didn't I tell the kitchen? I have to tell you this in person?"

The waitress couldn't help but bit her lips and said in embarrassment: "Well...you are not here, and the chefs are arguing again. No one goes to the porridge garden to adjust the ingredients."

Only then did he realize that the problem was really big, and Shao Qi's heart sank a little. If Liang Lixia hadn't come, he could have dealt with it first, and then reported it afterwards, but this meeting could only be handled by herself.

He sighed secretly, then supported his forehead and said: "Okay, I see, you just guard the door first, and just do what you did before."

It would be too unreasonable to just put up a closed sign. Why don't you just apologize and then send a redemption voucher, so that the guests will feel that the trip is not completely in vain.

Then Shao Qi turned around and went out under the strange eyes of the waitress, looked at Liang Lixia who was waiting at the door, and said with a solemn expression: "Something happened in the kitchen..."

Seeing him go in for a while before coming out, Liang Lixia guessed that there must be something wrong. Hearing this, he just frowned slightly, and then walked straight into the shop: "Go in and see what's going on before we talk."

Most of the waiters in the store have seen her, but Shao Qi has always been the one who came out here, so they don't know her specific identity. Seeing the two of them coming in one after the other, they can't help but stand aside, looking at each other. Did not dare to come forward to say anything.

When I went to the kitchen, I saw a strange calm inside. Several cooks and helpers were standing or sitting at their own posts, but they were not doing anything.

Seeing Shao Qi coming in, he first stood up consciously and called "Manager Shao", and then his face became a little embarrassed, except for the head chef in charge who still looked angry.

Liang Lixia scanned a few people around, but in the end he didn't say anything, but just glanced at Shao Qi.

Shao Qi, who received the gaze, stepped forward knowingly, first persuaded the head chef with nice words, and then almost learned the truth of the problem.

Then he didn't start to reprimand anyone, but called a helper to come over and explain a few words, and hurried out to find a waiter to say a few words, making everyone busy again, before returning to Liang Lixia with a helpless smile.

This is not a place to talk, seeing that he has roughly solved it, she sighed: "Go up and talk."

The two went up to the second floor, chose a smaller box to sit down, and then Shao Qi said directly: "There is a problem with the ingredients, they are shoddy, and they are not very fresh, causing the taste of the food to change. I received several complaints throughout the day. The chief chef didn’t know about it at first, but after he found out, he went to check it himself, threw away the remaining ingredients, and scolded the chefs below, and that’s it.”

"..." The source of the problem was obvious, Liang Lixia said with a complicated expression, "Did you send someone to the porridge garden to prepare the ingredients? If not enough, I will ask someone to prepare it."

Shao Qi hummed: "It's not urgent. There are still some ingredients left. It's just that they were having an awkward fight just now and they didn't do anything. It's basically enough to adjust some more. If there is nothing else, we will talk about it tomorrow."

It seems that there is basically no problem, but this problem cannot be regarded as never happening.

Once the taste of a restaurant cannot be guaranteed, there will be a problem with its reputation, so it must be dealt with severely.

Originally, he was still thinking about his own aunt, which was completely trustworthy, but in the end, he was still too careless.

Liang Lixia supported his forehead and sighed: "I'm afraid this is not the first time."

The chef pays great attention to the taste of the food he makes. The other chefs seem to be a little perfunctory, and they just focus on completing the task. Today, they can continue to cook in such a peaceful way, which shows that they never care about the ingredients.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be so outspoken and awkward.

Shao Qi glanced at her and knew that she was also in a difficult situation. After thinking about it, he couldn't help saying: "Otherwise, I'll talk to Qi Lin first, and it might be better for him to talk about it."

After all, Qiu Ruofen is still her elder, and Qi Lin was the one who persuaded her at the beginning. If something goes wrong, she still has to go to him, but it will hurt his heart a little.

Liang Lixia sighed: "It's fine, you can tell him well, and I don't want to pursue it anymore, just find a reliable person again."

Although they are relatives, and Qi Lin is still there, but once, they will not believe in the second time.

Shao Qi said clearly: "Okay, I will try my best, and I will be responsible for it before I find it, so there will be absolutely no mistakes."

It can be regarded as making up for his previous big talk. It would be fine if he didn't say it. Now that he has said it, he has an inescapable responsibility.

Hearing this, Liang Lixia couldn't help but smile helplessly: "Thank you for your hard work."

Shao Qi just shook his head and didn't say anything. Originally, he, the person in charge, was mostly responsible for this kind of thing. She didn't say a word of blame, which is already very good. What is all this hard work?
Then the two split up, one went to coordinate the ingredients with the porridge garden, and the other went to the warehouse to adjust the ingredients. After all, the Baishan Garden resumed business before seven o'clock, and it didn't cause much impact.

However, the matter of being complained cannot be ignored. After discussing with Shao Qi, Liang Lixia decided that in the next week, as long as the customers who come to consume will give a free scented tea and a snack or side dish, as a reward Apologies for the food going bad.

Regardless of whether it can be remedied or not, at least let people know that there will be problems, but it will definitely not always be like this.

Such a small turmoil was over like this. Liang Lixia didn't care about how Shao Qi and Qi Lin were talking. He just knew that the aunt didn't come to work after that, and she didn't even accept this month's salary.

Although it wasn't a big problem, it still made a mark in Liang Lixia's heart. I'm afraid it would be awkward if we meet in the future.

Sure enough, relatives are not absolutely reliable and can't be really reused. Once something goes wrong, it's hard to say.

But Liang Lixia didn't think about drawing a line with Qi Lin, so when he called to ask her out for dinner, she just hesitated for a moment, and agreed quickly.

It was no surprise that Qi Lin would ask her to meet, but what was unexpected was that he actually made an appointment at Baishan Garden.

When Liang Lixia rode an electric scooter there after school, Liang Lixia was still in a mixed mood. He didn't know how Qi Lin would feel when he came to this Baishan Garden and thought of what his mother had done before.

Shao Qi naturally knew that they were going to eat here today, and when he saw people coming, he came out with a deep smile on his face: "You guys have to have a good talk, don't lose your affection."

He said this as if Qi Lin was here to complain for his aunt... Liang Lixia laughed and said, "You think too much, or is it because my cousin told you something in advance?"

"That's not true," Shao Qi said with a shrug, "Aren't I afraid that he won't think about it?"

Liang Lixia shook his head with a smile and said: "He won't, since he has made up his mind to see me, he must know what he wants to say."

"You know him well." Leading her to the box specially reserved for them on the second floor, after opening the door, Shao Qi first greeted Qi Lin who had already arrived inside, and then waited for Liang Lixia to enter, He said, "Talk slowly, I'm going down to get busy."

After finishing speaking, he closed the door intimately and left, leaving the two of them speechless.

The atmosphere was deadlocked for two seconds, and then Liang Lixia stepped forward with a smile to break the atmosphere: "Long time no see, how is business doing?"

After Qi Lin poured her a cup of tea with the teapot in his hand, he smiled and said, "It's not bad, the business of the students is still very good."

Liang Lixia nodded dispensably, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, sniffing the fragrance of scented tea, and did not continue to answer the conversation.

Of course, a few words of pleasantries are fine, and Qi Lin also understands this. Seeing her like this, he couldn't help but smiled wryly, and instead of continuing to talk nonsense, he said to himself: "My mother's matter...I'm sorry, she dare not come to see you, so I can only I'm here."

When he said this, Liang Lixia felt a little ashamed, she shook her head and said, "It's not that serious, let auntie feel relieved."

Qi Lin didn't take advantage of the situation to say anything, but still said apologetically: "She was also cheated by my dad, and she wanted to save some extra money and spend it secretly for him, and she didn't dare to do that at first, but she was tricked by someone afterwards." Incitement is not so persistent. If you do it once and don’t get caught, there will be a second and third time..."

She generally knows a little about her aunt's temperament, she is weak and can be bullied, she only cares about her husband and son, if it is related to them, she will do it.

Now that my uncle is like that again, even if his heart was hardened before, his heart is probably softened now, and he may still be secretly blaming Qi Lin in his heart.

Liang Lixia sighed and said, "I can understand, it's you... You still need to have a good talk with her."
