CHAPTER 659: CHAPTER 659: GOURMET JADE CHOPSTICKS ACTUALLY HAVE A PROBLEM; BACKLASH HAS COME!

These veteran chefs, all of whom are properly trained at international Cordon Bleu culinary schools and have been working diligently for decades, were pointed at and scolded by a young girl of unknown origin. It was truly infuriating.

Yet, everyone dared only to be angry but not voice their complaints.

After all, it was Fang Yumei’s dishes that were propping up the restaurant’s entire internet fame.

Their once signature dishes were now dismissed by guests as bland.

They were forced to bow their heads in such a situation.

Just as they were dispersing in a dejected state.

Suddenly, an old chef noticed something amiss and cautiously asked, "Miss Fang, did you wear the wrong chef’s uniform?"

Fang Yumei impatiently replied, "You’re the one who wore the wrong..."

Halfway through her sentence, she suddenly felt her stomach tighten, glanced down, and was shocked. Goodness, her waist had somehow grown much thicker, almost tearing her apron apart — how did she get fat?

A few days ago, she had seen Gu Pinting’s explosive weight gain on a live stream, which startled her. Could it be that she had contracted the same weight gain curse as Gu Pinting?

While she was in a state of panic, an abrupt thought foreign to her consciousness flashed through her mind: "Ha ha, if more than three people refuse to eat your dishes, you will suffer the same backlash!"

Who?

Who was talking to her?

Fang Yumei was so frightened that the knife in her hand nearly cut her finger.

Her heart was beating so fast it felt like it would leap out of her chest. She pushed past those old chefs, dashed out of the room, and, with trembling hands, dialed Gu Shiyin’s number:

"Damn it, you never told me there would be any backlash! Why does not eating my foie gras by more than three people make me gain weight? Why?! What on earth are these chopsticks you gave me?"

Gu Shiyin, in an extremely low mood, lost her usual gentle patience and responded in a harsh tone:

"Fang Yumei, who do you think you are? Being able to receive my guidance is a blessing you’ve earned over eight lifetimes. If you don’t want the Gourmet Jade Chopsticks, there are plenty of people lining up for them. When did it become your turn to question me?"

What?

The master wants to take back the Jade Chopsticks?

No way, no way, this was her lifeline at Uncle Si’s place, she absolutely couldn’t let others have it.

Fang Yumei’s tone softened: "Master, I’m sorry, I was just too anxious earlier. I suddenly got fat, even though my foie gras can make diners addicted and gain weight, how did it affect me? This backlash is too terrifying."

Gu Shiyin sneered: "That means your skills aren’t good enough. The Jade Chopsticks have already warned you — if more than three people refuse your food, you will gain weight. Reflect on what you did wrong! Work seriously from now on! Otherwise, you’ll suffer even more! Did you just make a big move on Xing Yue’s man, causing him to betray Xing Yue? If he refuses to eat your food, you’ll really suffer the backlash, and the man you clung to will kick you away!"

Fang Yumei was struck as if by lightning.

She didn’t know there was such a terrible backlash, otherwise, she would have been more cautious when serving foie gras to Mr. Wu.

"I, I... can I take it back now?"

"Too late. I warned you to experiment on Zuzi and Wu Qianman first, but you couldn’t hold your horses and tried it on someone else."

Fang Yumei: "..."

How was she supposed to know that it would be different with someone else?

Wait, if there’s a backlash, wouldn’t there also be one if the experiment on Zuzi and Wu Qianman failed? Why is the master blaming her for being impatient and disobedient...

As she was about to ask clearly.

Gu Shiyin had already lost patience to continue: "Either find a way to make them eat, or keep offering sacrifices to the Jade Chopsticks. If you offer enough, maybe the backlash will lessen a bit."
