2, Chapter 2
When Wei Yingshu heard this, he subconsciously looked back at his mother and uncle.
Seeing the two of them having a red eye socket and their lips trembled, they thought they were happy about what they liked, and they were all comforting that they were about to get avenge.
Without any suspicion of his uncle, the smile on Wei Yingshu's face faded and he said coldly: "I can understand Miss Pei's mood at this time, but why bother to be a fool and act like a villain?"
Several young men, led by the Shangshu Gongzi, also spoke, looking at Pei Liang with disgust and contempt, "Miss Wei, you don't need to be polite. The Pei family is a bad person. Those villains raised by such inferior people have long expected that she would not be willing to accept the loss."
"I just didn't expect that it would be fine if I didn't believe it, but I actually pointed out that the deer was slandering people."
"That's right, the aunt and Uncle Wei are simple and mellow. They have worked hard for many years, and they are all thanks to your Pei family. You dare to slander it. Fortunately, Miss Wei still pity you for your young age, and all the causes and effects should not be irritated by you."
Wei Yingshu sneered: "It seems that I am so whimsical that I think that the people raised by Pei Zhengde may be different."
Pei Liang ignored the few people, his eyes fell on Wei's mother and uncle Wei, and his eyes were full of sarcasm.
"When my grandfather was considering the relationship between master and disciple, he would rather expel his successors without trust. Now he has become a cheap man to turn black and white. He is probably the spirit of heaven, and he will reflect on his original intentions and mercy."
The people next to this did not understand, but Wei's mother and uncle Wei knew very well.
The two of them had already come back to their senses from their excitement. After hearing Pei Liang's words, they felt a little surprised and thought to themselves that it was not good.
Immediately, I sat down before Pei Liang continued to speak and started crying.
Especially Wei's mother, she looked at her silent woman and she was so good at singing and acting. Her eyes turned red as she spoke, and her face was filled with endless vicissitudes and grievances.
But the voice was not ambiguous at all. It was kept such a large restaurant, and people upstairs and downstairs could hear it clearly.
"My family's killer has always been stupid and dull, and he is like an old ox. He became a disciple of his elders and was disliked by the old man. At that time, he was not doing the dirty and tiring work in the kitchen?"
"It's better to be a servant than a servant. When did you, Pei Fugui, be sarcastic and use it like a servant?"
Pei Fugui blushed and stuttered, "You are talking nonsense, you are swearing."
However, all the old guests of Tianxianglou or the neighbors around him were present. I remember that there were many people in Wei Qigui, and I also knew Pei Fugui's virtues.
He then laughed and said, "That's true. Pei Fugui is incompetent, so he naturally doesn't like Pei Chu's apprentices who took over his robe. Wei Qigui's craftsmanship is the best and is the most favored by Pei Chu. He is the main focus and will be in trouble for those who see the sky."
With old customers supporting the evidence, those who don’t understand the reason are even more inclined toward Wei’s mother.
Wei's mother continued to cry and said, "We are a foreigner who has taken advantage of the old man's mantle. But we are always careful every day, for fear of causing dissatisfaction."
"The old man was in poor health in those years, and Tianxianglou was all due to the support of my family. Many distinguished guests present thought they were impressed. In order not to smash the Tianxianglou signboard, the old guy who was tired and fainted a few times was probably clear about this."
After Chef Pei selected his heir, he did intend to retire and had the intention of tempering. Therefore, in the two or three years before Pei Liang was born, Wei Qigui was indeed the chef of the entire Tianxianglou, and Chef Pei only took action occasionally.
It is true that Tianxiang Tower was the mainstay that Wei Qigui took during that period.
After hearing this, the people around him became more and more acknowledged Wei Qigui's hard work and great contributions.
Wei's mother smiled desolately: "But what if you work harder? Outsiders are outsiders after all."
"Although the old man was originally strict, he still lived a life. But after his granddaughter showed his talent, he would not have a place to stand in my house."
"At that time, the old man was pretty tough. You can teach me another one and send my family to the new store."
"I pity my stupid guy. I don't know the old man's deep meaning. I help me with my heart and soul. I don't know what it is like making a living in my own business. The branch is covered in space. Pei Fugui, dare you say it's not his credit?"
"You say that, isn't the shop my Pei family paying or is it less money from your surname Wei?" Pei Fugui shouted.
Before Wei's mother could speak, someone retorted: "You can't say that. There are many people in the entire capital who can afford restaurants and hotels. How many are as popular as Tianxianglou Branch?"
"With the ability of Wei Chu, most people are willing to hold the dividends and ask him to take charge, otherwise he can do it himself. Although your Pei family has kindness to others, he cannot be at ease to contribute his contributions to others. "
Pei Liang watched coldly, and he could see that the three people in the Pei family, Pei's father and mother were unable to support the wall. They were not capable enough, and they were even less treacherous than cunning.
Pei Xiaochu was originally dedicated to cooking, and was dull and not good at speaking, so she had to support the entire Tianxianglou, so she naturally had a simple mind and was not compatible with the world.
The original work was directly exposed that Pei Fugui bribed the judges, and the three Pei family became jokes, and ridicule words came from all directions. Pei Xiaochu knew some inside story in her heart, and she couldn't argue in this situation.
Who would believe in a person with a poor character?
At this time, Pei Fugui fell into the accusations around him. The Wei family and Wei Yingshu's subordinates looked at his ugly appearance and felt happy, but they did not notice that Pei Liang had approached Gu Xiu, who was a judge.
At this time, Gu Xiu was still peeling the oranges in his hand, and he was enjoying the farce.
Seeing Pei Liang coming over, he smiled and said, "Will Pei Xiaochu help your father?"
Pei Liang smiled: "What Aunt Wei said is untrue, but it is not unfair to say what my father said."
Seeing Gu Xiu's face showing a look of surprise, Pei Liang said, "He is jealous of talented people and capable, and acts meanly. His mind is full of miserable ways, but he is clumsy and can't even make up for his decent face. His ancestors' family business was defeated by him, and he will taste it in the next miserable days. Now it's just an appetizer."
“Just get used to it early.”
Gu Xiu became more interested when he heard this. He was also a frequent visitor to Tianxianglou. He had never noticed that Pei Xiaochu was as naughty as before.
Pei Liang was sure that he was easy to talk to now, so he said directly: "I'm disturbing Mr. Gu because I have something to ask for help."
"Oh? Let's talk about it!" Gu Xiu was intrigued.
Gu Xiu is also a character with many roles in the original work. He has no emotional entanglement with the heroine. The only time he appears whenever the heroine competes in cooking with others, no matter how far he is, he will happen to appear in the local area. He appears with a tricky tongue and an absolutely objective image. He is a referee-like character in the original work.
To ensure absolute justice, in addition to respecting food, of course, you must also have a background that is not afraid of any powerful people.
Gu Xiu was the most prominent person present, even far superior to the Shangshu prince. In order to avoid the troubles, Pei Liang naturally chose to ask for help.
Fortunately, Gu Xiu was idle all day long. In addition to tasting delicious food everywhere, he also liked to join in the fun. Seeing that there was a stimulating old past in Tianxianglou, he was happy to help.
The two of them whispered, and Gu Xiu called in the entourage and explained what he had done. The entourage went down immediately.
Wei Yingshu, who had always been concerned about Pei Liang, frowned and was about to speak, but Pei Liang had already left Gu Xiu and returned to his original position.
As if something was touched, Pei Liang looked up and looked opposite Wei Yingshu's eyes, but saw Pei Liang smile casually, as if he had not seen any of the situations in the gradually unfamiliar situation of the Pei family at this time.
On the side of Wei's mother, she continued to cry after she was ridiculed Pei Fugui with one sentence at a time and wanted to get into the crack of the ground.
"Originally, Tianxianglou belonged to your Pei family. The old man has more attention to his successors. As a junior, there is nothing to say. Even if we let us go, with the skills of my family, we will not be unable to support these mouths."
"But your surname Pei is killing everyone. I'm afraid that my family will start a new stove and steal your Tianxianglou business. Not only will we drive us out of the capital, but we will also take our property. Even forcing the fool to swear that he will not be able to make a living by cooking in the future. Isn't this forcing us to die?"
Wei's mother cried so hard that she felt heartbroken, as if she was recalling the miserable situation of her family back then.
There was an uproar around, and diners with good memory only remember that the branch suddenly closed, and Wei Qigui's family was expelled from the army by Chef Pei and driven out of the capital.
At that time, someone said that Chef Pei was not kind, but that selfishness was always a common thing. Moreover, Master said that you have the ability to make a living. Wei Qigui went from a vegetable washing machine to a chef who could later be the best in the world. With this kind of kindness alone, the Wei family couldn't say anything.
I didn't expect that the truth was like this. When there was no one in the Pei family, people were killed by others. If there was no need, they would kill them all. If they were not allowed to use their skills, how much of the teacher's kindness was left? The family wealth they had saved through hard work and hard work was also taken away. Why didn't they let the family die directly?
Everyone glared at the three members of the Pei family, and because of their mother's words, they remembered the misery of childhood and the depressed and premature death of Wei Yingshu, who also shed tears of pity for others.
How could her subordinates still sit still when they see this? Even though two impulsive young men came over, grabbed Pei Fugui's collar, and acted as if they were beaten.
Before his fists fell, a female voice said aloud: "If you two speak up for Wei Chu or feel pity for Miss Wei's suffering for many years, you may be the culprit of finding the wrong one."
When everyone heard this, they looked at Pei Liang, but saw her pointing at Wei's mother who was still crying and Uncle Wei with a sigh.
"These two people should be most deserving of this fist."
Wei Yingshu glared at him: "Pei Liang, you are too bullying--"
"Miss Wei, don't be anxious." Pei Liang smiled: "After everyone heard the truth from Aunt Wei's mouth, why not listen to me?"
Her attitude was too firm and calm, without any shame. Wei Yingshu and her party thought she was shameless and extremely cold-hearted.
But the people around her didn't mind eating melons. Seeing that Pei Liang seemed to have other hidden stories, although they were whispering, they did not stop her from speaking.
However, Wei's mother was much smarter. Seeing this, she quickly winked at Uncle Wei and signaled him to stop the girl from speaking.
However, Uncle Wei had not taken action yet. Gu Xiu on the judges' seat said: "I can't believe the whole family's words, so let's say it."
Gu Xiu was the highest in the audience, so no one dared to make trouble when he spoke.
Pei Liang said, "Auntie Wei only said that your Wei family property was taken away and was expelled by my grandfather overnight, and was even forced to vow not to use what my Pei family learned in this life. So what about the Tianxianglou branch?"
"At that time, the branch was booming and the money was getting more and more money. If my grandfather wanted to occupy Wei Chu's fruits and kill him all, why would the branch be closed?"
Aunt Wei's eyes rolled: "When my old Wei leaves, who will support the branch? It will naturally collapse."
Pei Liang smiled: "Just, Chef Wei was already a chef who was the only one at the time, and he could do everything himself?"
In general, when operating a large restaurant, except for a few distinguished guests, the daily work of the chef is more about controlling the entire kitchen.
From the control of ingredients to the preparation and arrangement of semi-finished products, especially the time-honored brand like Tianxianglou has a wide range of customers and many guests every day. It is conceivable that the chef has a busy schedule from the rhythm of serving to quality control and supervision. To be honest, there are not many opportunities to cook a dish alone.
"In addition to Wei Chu, several uncles were also in Jingcheng at that time. They might be slightly inferior in cooking skills, but there are many people who can replace a branch in the kitchen control."
Pei Liang said, and suddenly the wind turned sharply: "But Aunt Wei's words are not completely wrong. The Tianxianglou branch did go bankrupt at that time."
"A restaurant that has a prosperous business and does not lack funds and available sources of customers and people will go bankrupt overnight, and there must be a reason for it."
People around me remembered the branch that suddenly announced the closing the next day. At that time, diners came to the main store to ask, and the answers they got were all vague.
Just now, Aunt Wei’s story briefly covered this matter. Now that Pei Xiaochu is focusing on it, everyone’s curiosity is aroused.
