Shao 'an had just entered the Ju Lou when he heard a table of guests discussing loudly.
"Have you heard? The livestock in the neighboring county began to die on a large scale, and the local people could no longer eat meat.”Customer A said.
"I've heard about this matter as well. I just hope that this disaster won't affect us.”said customer B.
When Shao 'an heard this news, he recalled a plot in the original novel.
Due to the impact of the livestock deaths, the entire Sichuan fell into a state where there was no meat to eat. Master Abbe's Chrysanthemum Tower was inevitably affected. Under such circumstances, Master Abbe developed the six-flavored Magic Mapo Tofu that did not require meat.
Thinking of this, Shao 'an made a decision. If the situation really developed to that point, he would definitely replicate the six-flavored magical Mapo Tofu.
"Sir, what would you like to eat?" The waiter called out.
"Six Magical Mapo Tofu." Shao 'an blurted out, his mind filled with the six-flavored magic Mapo Tofu.
"Uh, this customer, our menu doesn't have the six-flavored magic Mapo tofu you mentioned. Do you want to change to other dishes? The dishes at our Ju Lou are very delicious.”the waiter said patiently.
Only then did Shao 'an react. He explained to the waiter in embarrassment.
Shao 'an, who was worrying about how to become Abbe's disciple, suddenly had an idea.
"Buddy, since you said that the dishes at your Chrysanthemum Restaurant are delicious, then bring me the best and most expensive dishes at your Chrysanthemum Restaurant. I want to see if what you said is true.”Shao 'an's attitude changed drastically.
The waiters at Ju Lou Restaurant were extremely proud. Perhaps Ju Lou Restaurant was not the largest state-owned restaurant in the country, but if they really wanted to compare the taste of the dishes, Ju Lou Restaurant would definitely not show any weakness.
The waiter could not tolerate the fact that this young man in front of him was openly questioning the dishes at Kikuko Restaurant.
"Sir, please wait patiently. The dishes at Chrysanthemum Restaurant will definitely not disappoint you.”The shop assistant's smile seemed very stiff.

After the waiter left, Shao 'an revealed a look of success. In fact, he had already simulated many ways to acknowledge a master on the way to Ju Lou. Taking the initiative to acknowledge a master was bound to be passive, so he had to turn the passive into the active.
Just now, he had a brainwave and thought of a good idea. In ancient times, Tang Bohu sold himself as Qiuxiang. Today, I, Shao An, will dine and dash for Abbe.
Shao 'an did a rough calculation. The total price of the dishes he had ordered was enough to attract Master Abbe's attention.
In the kitchen, a waiter came forward to submit the menu. The chef teased the waiter.
"Yo, it's that rich man or official who came again today. He actually ordered so many dishes.”
"I'm not a rich man or a government official. I'm just a strange kid. First, he asked for some six-flavored magic Mapo tofu. I told him that I didn't have this dish. Then, he asked me to bring the best and most expensive dishes of the restaurant to him. He said that he wanted to see if our Chrysanthemum Restaurant was worthy of its name.”The waiter repeated the conversation between him and Shao 'an in the hall without missing a word.
"Xiao Li, take down this menu. Since the other party is only a teenager, he must be acting childish for a moment. Why do you have to take it seriously? It's a waste of food to serve so many dishes.”A gentle female voice was heard.
Master Abbe said with a smile. Master Abbe, who had been a chef for so many years, naturally knew the attitude of the waiter, Xiao Li. In the end, both sides would not be able to get off the stage.
The waiter, Xiao Li, was very respectful to Master Abbe. Originally, he had wanted to embarrass Shao 'an, but under Master Abbe's persuasion, his thoughts dissipated.
"However, you said that the young man ordered a six-flavored magic Mapo tofu at the beginning? This dish's name piqued my interest.”Master Abbe said.
"Master Abbe, this must be a random name that person made up. Don't take it seriously.”The waiter, Xiao Li, said.
Shao 'an, who was sitting confidently in the hall, didn't know that his plan to dine and dash was so easily resolved by Master Abbe's words.
The customers left wave after wave, but the dishes Shao 'an ordered were still not served. Shao' an was very calm at first, but as time passed, this calmness gradually turned into anxiety, but he never left.
"Buddy! Why hasn't my order been served yet? Is this how you treat your guests?”Shao 'an vented his anger on the waiter.
The waiter, Xiao Li, went up to Shao 'an. After leaving Shao' an alone for so long, his anger had dissipated. He was in a good mood and did not mind telling Shao 'an the truth.
"Little brother, don't wait any longer. Master Abbe, the chef of our Chrysanthemum Restaurant, has removed the menu you ordered.”Xiao Li said.
"What happened? How can you just remove a customer's menu!”Shao 'an instantly panicked.
"No! I want to find your head chef and ask him!”
"Brother, our head chef is very busy. Please don't disturb him. If you really want to ask him in person, please wait here.”The waiter, Xiao Li, said.
"Good! Then I'll wait here." Shao 'an immediately put on a look as if he would not give up until he saw the head chef, Master Abbe.
The waiter, Xiao Li, could only helplessly look at Shao 'an, who was sitting firmly in the hall like an old tree.
Dinner was served, and Chrysanthemum Tower was about to close. There was no one else in the hall except Shao An, who was still waiting.
When the waiter, Xiao Li, saw that Shao 'an was still unwilling to leave, he actually began to admire this youth's persistence. In order to fulfill this youth's wish, Xiao Li walked towards the kitchen.
"Are you saying that the young man hasn't left yet? Seriously, why didn't you tell me earlier?”Master Abbe blamed Xiao Li.
"Master Abbe, are you going to see him?”Xiao Li asked.
Abbe nodded. When she was about to leave the kitchen, she suddenly remembered something and turned to the stove.
Xiao Li asked in confusion,"Master Abbe, what are you going to do?"”
Abbe smiled and said,"That child should be hungry."”
