Chapter 250: Chapter 251: Delicious Beyond Words

Li Yang was getting a little pissed off watching this.

’If the food was genuinely terrible and you were cussing them out, Li Yang wouldn’t have a problem with it. But you’re clearly here with an agenda. Isn’t that a bit shameless?’

Li Yang shook his head and said, "These people have no shame. Using a tactic like this... how is anyone supposed to do business after this?"

"What can we do?" Zeng Qing said with a frown. "As business owners, these are the kind of people we fear most. They come here specifically to cause trouble, and there’s nothing you can do about it. After all, we can’t afford to get into a drawn-out fight with them."

Li Yang nodded.

However, as the proprietress walked past, Li Yang suddenly called out to her. "Ma’am, having a tough time with them, are you?"

The proprietress poured out her grievances. "They’ve been here since ten o’clock, just eating. We’ve cooked for him three separate times, and he’s smashed our plates all three times. What are we supposed to do?"

"They’re here to cause trouble on purpose," Li Yang said.

"I know!" The proprietress gave a bitter smile. "But what good does knowing do? He just keeps saying our food is bad, and there’s nothing I can do."

That was the difficult part.

"If you could make a dish so good it leaves them speechless, that would solve it, wouldn’t it?" Li Yang asked with a smile.

"Where would I find a dish like that...?" The proprietress shook her head. "He’s dead set on causing a scene here. I’m helpless."

"How about this? I have a suggestion..." Li Yang glanced around. "By the way, do you grow your own vegetables here?"

"We do..." The proprietress looked a bit dazed. "We have our own vegetable garden. Some of the greens are picked right from it."

It was basically a small mountain villa, after all.

"Perfect. You have tomatoes, right? Okay, I’ll go pick a few for you. You can make them some scrambled eggs with tomato," Li Yang said.

The proprietress was stunned. "Scrambled eggs with tomato?"

"They’re going to nitpick no matter what you make..." Li Yang said with a smile. "So you might as well give them something simple. Trust me."

The proprietress thought about it seriously, but still shook her head and refused.

"You’ve heard of the food at the Grand Golden Pavilion Hotel in Ruizhou, right?" Left with no other choice, Li Yang had to reveal his credentials.

"I’ve never eaten there, but I’ve heard of it. It’s supposed to be exceptionally good, right?" The proprietress nodded. "That’s right," Li Yang said. "And I’m their supplier."

What!

The proprietress stared at Li Yang, dumbfounded.

The hype around the Grand Golden Pavilion Hotel had reached even here in Ningzhou. To think its supplier was the man standing right in front of her.

"Now do you believe me?" Li Yang said with a smile. "Just try what I said. Oh, and I’ll take a look at your vegetable garden to see if it’ll work."

With that, Li Yang was already in the vegetable garden.

He watered their vegetable garden a bit, then returned.

When he came back, he brought a few tomatoes to the kitchen. "Scrambled eggs with tomato. Use these."

"Isn’t this just messing around?!" The kitchen staff grew anxious.

The customers were already deliberately finding fault, which had thoroughly pissed them off, but there was nothing they could do. Now Li Yang was pulling a stunt like this; of course they were angry.

"Listen to him..." The proprietress looked at Li Yang’s calm demeanor and said seriously, "Just do it. Don’t say another word."

Since the proprietress had spoken, the others had no choice but to comply.

As for Li Yang, he returned to his table with a calm expression.

He even brought a tomato back for Zeng Qing.

Zeng Qing picked it up and said, "Aren’t you just being ridiculous? They looked down on so many of the chef’s specialties, and you’re going to serve them scrambled eggs with tomato? Do you think they’re idiots?"

But the moment she took a bite, she froze, unable to speak.

"How is it?" Li Yang asked with a smile. "Not bad, right?"

"What’s going on?" Zeng Qing said hurriedly. "Why is this tomato so delicious?"

Li Yang gave a mysterious smile. "Why the rush? You’ll find out soon enough."

Zeng Qing quickly finished the tomato, but she immediately regretted it. ’Why did I eat it so fast? Now it’s all gone.’

Soon, the dish was brought out from the kitchen.

It was the proprietress who served it.

Her hands trembled slightly as she carried the plate.

Clearly, she had already discovered in the kitchen that these were no ordinary tomatoes.

"What are you shaking for!" the bald man couldn’t help but mock when he saw her. "Feeling wronged because your own cooking sucks? You people are really shameless. Take a look at who the real victims are here."

The proprietress placed the dish on the table and removed the lid.

Instantly, an extraordinary fragrance wafted into their noses.

The men paused. ’Wow, that smells amazing.’

But a glance at the scrambled eggs with tomato revealed nothing special. It looked completely ordinary.

"What did you put in this..." The bald man picked up a piece with his chopsticks and said rudely, "You cook up this piece of junk for us and intentionally load it with spices, is that it? I’m telling you, if this doesn’t taste good, I’m still smashing your plate..."

Just then, he took the first bite.

And then, it was as if the entire world stood still.
