When Mr. Wang heard Su Binglan's words, he knew he was not dealing with an ordinary girl.
Then he noticed the girl had indeed come with a basket. A cloth was covering its contents, so Mr. Wang did not know what was in the basket. He became curious about the mysterious contents.
He said, "You have a point. Then I'll have to trouble you to go to the kitchen."
…
Su Binglan followed Mr. Wang to the kitchen. There were three chefs and apprentices working in Drunken Cloud.
The restaurant used to have five chefs, but Zhu's Guests had poached two of them by offering to pay them more.
If the Drunken Cloud was still as bustling as it once was, the three remaining chefs could not have borne it. However, their business had plummeted, so the remaining chefs could manage and even had some free time.
The people in the kitchen were puzzled when they saw Mr. Wang bringing along a girl, but they did not question it.
