Chapter 233 Ecstasy Potion
The waiter had vaguely heard the conversation between the two men in the kitchen. Although he had doubts in his mind, he couldn't believe it.
After all, they were wearing women's clothes before, and then changed into men's clothes in a flash. Such a dramatic change is difficult for people to digest immediately.
Xiao Zhixue ordered a few dishes, and the waiter hurried into the kitchen.
He deliberately instructed the chef to add more medicine to the food, trying to add a touch of surprise to the drama.
The chef looked at this with disdain and muttered, "No need for you to remind me, I will definitely put enough food in this time."
When the fragrant delicacies were placed on the table one after another, everyone was already starving. Facing the delicious food in front of them, they raised their chopsticks and prepared to feast on it.
Just as they were about to put the carefully cooked meat slices into their mouths with the tips of their chopsticks, Fang Jiawen suddenly stopped them loudly: "Wait a moment, everyone! Don't rush to eat!"
At this shout, everyone froze in their tracks, their faces filled with confusion, and all their eyes turned to Fang Jiawen.
The shopkeeper's heart was in his throat. He had just specifically instructed the waiter to tamper with the dishes, and he was so nervous that he forgot to explain the matter.
Fang Jiawen pointed at the dishes on the table, his expression stern: "These dishes have been tampered with. I can't guarantee that you can walk out of this door alive after eating them."
When he said this, everyone was terrified and hurriedly put down their chopsticks, not daring to try it again.
Xiao Zhixue raised her eyebrows slightly, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
She remembered that Fang Jiawen once boasted that his nose was extremely sensitive and he could smell the smell of medicine that ordinary people could not detect. Even Fang Weiyi felt inferior to him in this regard.
I didn’t expect that when things got to this point, the store owner would dare to tamper with the food.
Fang Jiawen stood up, walked towards the shop owner with firm steps, and asked sternly: "Tell me, why did you do this? Don't tell me you have no idea!"
The shop owner hurriedly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead; he had not expected such a discerning customer.
I don’t know if the chef was too heavy-handed or if this guy’s sense of smell was too amazing to actually smell something.
He forced out an awkward smile and tried to explain: "Sir, you misunderstood, this is purely a misunderstanding!"
As soon as the shop owner finished speaking, he quickly called the waiter and the chef over.
He scolded them harshly: "How do you do things? Why do you want to tamper with the guests' food? Do you still want to continue? If something really goes wrong, you will lose ten lives!"
The waiter looked aggrieved, thinking to himself that he was clearly acting according to the boss's instructions, so why was he being pushed onto the responsibility?
The chef snorted disdainfully and turned away, thinking that the drug had already been put into the dish, so even if the matter was reported to the authorities, he would just consider himself unlucky.
At worst, I'll lose my head and be a brave man again in twenty years.
There is no way he can apologize to this group of people!
The shop owner was concerned about not angering the customers, so he shouted at the waiter and the chef, "What are you still standing there for? Take these dishes away and make some new ones!"
The chef returned to the kitchen angrily and threw away all the dishes he had just prepared.
The waiter felt mixed emotions as he was clearly following the boss's orders, but ended up being the one to take the blame.
I don't know what tricks the woman used to make the boss so obedient. She is really a traitor. I have never seen anything like this.
The waiter secretly swore to himself that if these customers were really bandits from Longfei Village, this time, he would never risk his life to protect the store's property as he did before.
Let them take away all the valuables. At worst he can pack up and go back to his hometown to farm.
Xiao Er cleaned the table quickly with her hands, and Fang Jiawen sat down again.
Xiao Zhixue came closer and whispered, "What kind of drugs were put in those dishes just now?"
Her question made Fang Jiawen look somewhat smug.
He said proudly: "I smelled it, it's a drug, and the dosage is not small. If we really took it, I'm afraid we would sleep for three days and three nights."
The corners of Xiao Zhixue's mouth twitched slightly. Thanks to Fang Jiawen's sharp nose, otherwise, once they swallowed the food, they might really only be able to meet in the underworld.
She proudly raised her thumbs up, her eyes flashing with undisguised admiration, and gave Fang Jiawen a big thumbs up without hesitation: "You are really a hidden talent, you have some skills."
This compliment made Fang Jiawen's heart bloom instantly like a flower in spring, and his joy was beyond words.
He raised his eyebrows proudly at Fang Weiyi, with a childish challenge in his eyes: "Brother, did you see that? My performance this time can be regarded as a great contribution."
Fang Weiyi rolled his eyes lightly upon hearing this, a helpless smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his tone was filled with a bit of the pampering and admonition that only an elder brother can have: "Don't get too complacent, kid."
These few words seemed to pour cold water on Fang Jiawen's enthusiasm.
"Humph!"
Fang Jiawen snorted with feigned disdain, pretending that he didn't want to pay attention.
But the sense of satisfaction in his heart from being recognized by Xiao Zhixue could not be hidden.
His actions today not only made his image in Xiao Zhixue's mind more prominent, but he even felt that he had surpassed his brother Fang Weiyi, which made him both proud and complacent.
Soon, the waiter skillfully placed plates of steaming and fragrant food on the table.
Fang Jiawen took a deep breath, and the fragrance went straight into his nostrils, making him feel relaxed and happy. He nodded imperceptibly at Xiao Zhixue, his eyes full of anticipation and invitation.
Now, everyone seemed to have received some kind of tacit consent, and they all picked up their chopsticks and started this late dinner.
As the night deepened, after dinner, everyone returned to their rooms to rest.
A day's fatigue is not only reflected in the body, the mind also longs for relaxation and peace.
In a short while, the room was filled with snoring sounds, and everyone was immersed in their own dreams.
However, Xiao Zhixue tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.
She opened her eyes slightly and listened attentively to the occasional subtle sounds coming from outside the window, as if there was something in her heart that she couldn't let go of.
There was silence inside and outside the inn. Even the innkeeper and the waiter fell asleep one after another. It seemed that she was the only one awake in the whole world.
For several days in a row, there was no news about Fan Yanmu, and this uncertainty cast a shadow over people's hearts.
In this era without mobile phones and when information is transmitted by word of mouth, any delay in news makes people feel anxious and helpless.
Although Xiao Zhixue has lived here for some time, as a time traveler from the modern era, she still cannot fully adapt to this ancient lifestyle.
In particular, her worry about Fan Yanmu was like a thin rope, tightly tugging at her heart and making it difficult for her to sleep.
Finally, Xiao Zhixue decided not to lie in bed any longer. She got up, put on her coat, and planned to go out for a walk. Perhaps the cool night breeze could take away some of her worries.
