Chapter 296 - Our mories' Delight.
Li Xue's expression did not waver even after she heard the detailed scenario from Mia. Though she knew that she had got herself into a serious predicant this ti, that was not going to lessen her confidence in any way.
Turning her head slightly, she gave an assuring nod to Mia and then reverting it back to everyone she said, "Everyone please, sorry for making you see this little chaos but I think everyone will be quite understandable to take all this in a minimal negative light. Please enjoy your ti".
As she said, the other custor's whose attention has been towards them all this while went back to their normal conversation. The woman custor who has been the centre of attention all this while too looked satisfied as she said, "Fine, if my patience can bring what I want then I will love to sit here with all patience and ti".
Li Xue again presented a polite smile on her lips and nodded with so appreciation, "Thank you, Ma'am. Give so ti, I will co back to you again to take your order in a more precise manner" She said and then turned on her heels to look at Ning iling.
"Chef Ning, I think I would need your opinion on sothing. Can you please co once with ?" Li Xue said and they soon strolled back towards the common chef counter, inside the deepest cave of Sweet Delicacy.
Getting away from the scene, Chef Ning did not hesitate in letting out a sigh of exhaustion. "That woman was really tough. What old custor is she talking about? I have never co across her even after being here for so many years now." She said, keeping her hands over her h.i.p.s. She really had a long exhaustive ti dealing with her, but nothing ca out fruitful at the end.
Li Xue looked around to get a glance of that woman custor again. Taking a detailed look at her, she said with so good thought, "Umm … looking at her such confidence in her regal stance, I doubt that she would be here just to create so ss. And even if she has sothing like that in mind then also the only way we can fail her plan is by accepting her challenge from the front. A frontal attack is a basic move, we can use at this mont".
For so reasons, Li Xue still felt that the woman was not soone simple. There was sothing that was telling her otherwise. Maybe the short look she has given her before or maybe the words she has used earlier.
"We understand what you are intending to say, Chef Li but this is not as simple as you are thinking. The dessert she is asking us to bake is not sothing simple or easy", Chef Ning said, shaking her head in disapproval.
Li Xue too looked at her but disagreed with her words. To her, there was nothing impossible. It can be tough, even be full of imperfections but not impossible. "Chef Ning, in the era of the internet, can there be anything impossible? I think we would just need to put so of our extra efforts and everything else will co out to be fine."
"Putting Sweet Delicacy's na and reputation at stake, I doubt we can afford sothing like that, Chef Li," Ning iling said as her brows got wrinkled with so hints of frustration.
"We don't have any other way left apart from that, Chef Ning!" Li Xue replied casually with a slight shrug of her shoulders backwards. They have already put their words of order acceptance forward, now in no way they can go and put another reason in front to reject the requested order.
Chef Ning looked at Li Xue for a mont, then pinching her brows in stress she scrambled her legs to move back and forth. "I truly don't know what we should do in a situation like this. That woman has simply turned all my good thoughts into a huge ss". She said, masking her incapability and lack of confidence with frustration and annoyance.
Li Xue had no ti to deal with the ss in Chef Ning's mind. She has a lot of better things to do in the anti. Though she knew that they were cohabiting with each other in this crucial situation, still it was not sothing that would change the truth that they were still not that used to each other. Their thoughts and principles can simply not co to the sa page.
Not like Li Xue had any problem mixing with Ning iling and establishing a good friendly relationship but just by her neglecting the fact won't change that woman's reality. Ning iling would still remain the sa she had been all this while and Li Xue really had enough of such characters in her past. There is no way she would again want herself to be surrounded by two-faced people.
So without giving any care to the lady, she turned to Mia and simply asked, "Mia, can you tell exactly what so tough dessert did that custor ordered, for that none of our team chefs are able to prepare?"
"Li Xue – Ah I an, Chef Li …", The young girl corrected instantly knowing that she was not alone with Li Xue to address her this informally. With soone else around them, it would only be preferable if she chose to be an obedient and polite assistant to her Head Chef. She has got all ti to be a ssy friend when no one is around but would not let anyone questions Li Xue for her liberal disciplining ways for her teammates.
"That custor has said previously that she has been the custor of Sweet Delicacy since the very first day of its beginning. But then she left Chiboa to shift to so other country and now she has co back after many years. She said that she has got many mories here and would like to relive those mories back tasting the sa flavours she used to order the past. Her order is sothing called 'Our mories' Delight'."
Mia jotted down everything in her words that she has heard earlier outside. Not missing any single detail behind.
"Our mories' delight!" Li Xue's lips mumbled as she gave so thought to the special na given to the dessert. Of course, she knew that no other restaurants or bakery shop has ever heard of this dessert. This was sothing that sounded like custom made dessert, made with many considerations.
Suddenly sothing struck her. Turning on her heels, she asked with slight urgency in her tone, "Chef Ning, do we have the list of the chefs that had been working here at the very beginning. We could still ask their help in letting us know what this dessert dish is all about?"
"No, we can't do that. I have checked the records already. The chef under whose na this dessert dish is registered is none other than the legendary patissier from the old small village in the north. And as we all know her death or disappearance has been a mystery till date". Ning iling replied plainly, already knowing that there is no way out left for them to escape.
