blue shirt oath

Chapter 15

Zhou Qiang came to Room [-] with a plate of "Old Mussel with Pearls" overflowing with umami.

There were seven or eight people sitting in the room, some Zhou Qiang knew well, and some Zhou Qiang didn't know.

Zhou Qiang was not timid, and went forward with a tray, took out the large celadon plate with a cover on it, put it in front of Wang Qinruo, lifted the cover, and introduced:

"My lord, old mussels with pearls! This dish is made by steaming fresh river mussels and high-quality pigeon eggs for half an hour. You can eat them while they are still hot."

The pigeon eggs on the plate were white, the chicken was shiny, and the wax gourd balls were translucent. Wang Qinruo scooped a spoonful into a small bowl and took a sip.

As soon as the meat was in his mouth, Wang Qinruo closed his eyes and savored it carefully.

Zhou Qiang stood aside and saw that he tasted it carefully, she couldn't help becoming nervous, and sweat broke out on her forehead.

"Is this really mussel meat?" came a condescending voice from a superior, and Zhou Qiang quickly nodded and bowed, affirming, "My lord, this is a fresh mussel that I bought this morning."

Wang Qinruo laughed and said, "That's right! Although it's different from what I ate in the past, it tastes better. The Shocui Tower really deserves its reputation."

"Thank you sir."

Zhou Qiang breathed a sigh of relief, took out the [-] with the tray, rolled up her sleeves and wiped the fine sweat from her forehead, and walked downstairs quickly.

The good mussels in the back kitchen suddenly disappeared, he didn't believe it was an accident.

He carefully recalled the scene when Lord Wang named Xiaochen and asked Xiaochen to be the old mussel carrying a pearl. At that time, in room [-], except for the group of people brought by Lord Wang, he and the seven bartenders were the only ones. no one else.

The guests had no chance to go to the back kitchen to steal the mussels, and the seven bartenders followed him all the time, never leaving his sight.

"Brother Zhou, how are you doing?"

The sudden sound startled Zhou Qiang. After seeing clearly that it was Song Guichen, he let out a long sigh of relief, and pulled Song Guichen to the corner of the corridor: "Master Wang didn't taste that this dish is not a mussel. ,but……"

"Brother Zhou thinks who stole the mussel?"

Zhou Qiang was very surprised, Song Guichen was just a little girl who could cook well, but her mind was so sharp.

Before she explained herself, she guessed that someone stole the mussel.

"I can't say well about this." After being surprised for a while, Zhou Qiang frowned and said, "Master Wang asked you to cook this dish on a whim after eating your dish. At that time, except for Mr. Wang and his party, only Only the seven or eight bartenders I brought, that is to say, only these people knew about it."

"The guests have no chance to enter the back kitchen, is it the bartender?"

Zhou Qiang shook her head: "No, I brought them all by myself. I know them well, and I would never do such a thing."

Song Guichen put his hands on his hips, and said angrily: "Who is that? It's hard to see me like this. I saw those mussels quietly in the bucket in the morning. After a while, they disappeared. The mussels can still be inserted. Can the wings fly?"

It's rare to see her look like a little girl, Zhou Qiang laughed, then sighed, and solemnly confessed: "I suspect that there are indeed people who can't see you, anyway, people in the Shocui Building can still enter and leave the back kitchen, Xiaochen , you have to be careful these days and pay more attention to the people around you."

As he spoke, he explained in a rather embarrassing way: "This matter is not easy to spread, let's wait for Mr. Wang and the others to leave before we investigate."

Years of experience as a bartender told him that maybe the people in the back kitchen secretly took the mussels away out of jealousy for Xiaochen.

If so, things are not complicated.

The person who stole the mussel was probably just out of jealousy and wanted to trip Xiaochen up, but it happened that Mr. Wang ordered the old mussel Huaizhu dish.

Song Guichen slapped his head in frustration, she understood what Zhou Qiang meant, but she always felt that things were not that simple.

Today, in the back kitchen of the West Building, apart from Sister Yueyue and a few handymen, and Mrs. Mu and other veteran cooks of Shocui Building, there are a total of 12 people. There are too many people.

Although after careful investigation, I'm afraid I can't find out why.

Song Guichen sighed, making Zhou Qiang laugh: "You are so young, why do you look like a little old man? Don't worry, I will report this matter to Han Cai, and if he comes forward, the little boy who stole the mussel The thief will be caught quickly."

Speaking of Han Biban, Song Guichen couldn't help but think of the way he stared at him in a daze last night.

Inexplicably, Song Guichen felt that this apparently kind brother Han seemed not so kind.

But this was just her unfounded intuition, so she thanked Zhou Qiang with a smile, and then asked, "Have the guests in Pavilion No. [-] left?"

"Oh, yes!" Zhou Qiang suddenly remembered what Gu Yi and the others said about meeting Xiaochen, "Look at me, I was interrupted by the incident here, and I forgot what Young Master Gu told me."

"It's okay, I'm going to see if they're still there." Song Guichen took off his apron, and ran towards the second floor with small steps. Zhou Qiang smiled from behind, "This girl."

Song Guichen came to the second floor. From the corner of his eye, he looked at the black-clothed guards on the left and right. He felt quite uncomfortable, as if he had come to the gate of the official mansion, and he had to be careful with his steps.

A dozen black-clothed guards saw that she was dressed in the style of the Shuo Cui Tower, but they didn't stop her and let her pass.

Arriving at the door of Pavilion No. [-], Song Guichen raised his hand and knocked on the door: "Guest officer, I heard that you want to see me."

Hearing a slightly serious "Come in" from inside, Song Guichen pushed the door open and walked in.

"Guest officer—"

Seeing the man standing by the window wearing a blue long-sleeved hood and a white robe, Song Guichen was stunned for a moment.

And Du Qingshan was also surprised and froze by the window.

"Oh."

Thinking of parting ways with him without hesitation not long ago, and meeting him again in this way now, I can't help but feel a little... a sense of fate.

After a short moment of astonishment, Song Guichen walked towards Du Qingshan with an awkward yet polite smile.

"What a coincidence, we met again so soon, haha."

"Yeah, I thought that after you dumped me, where would you go to get rich and make a fortune, but I didn't expect that you would end up in such a miserable situation and become the cook of the Shuicui Building."

"Tsk tsk, don't gloat so much, anyway, I saved your life too, so I'm your savior."

Du Qingshan sneered: "Where's your master? Don't tell me that your master is a certain cook in Shocuilou."

"Of course not!" Song Guichen gave Du Qingshan a white look, and argued forcefully, "My master has traveled all over the world, and he happened to leave Hangzhou recently, can't he?"

"you--"

Just as Du Qingshan was about to expose her lies, Gu Yi and Gu Ziying came up together, and Gu Yi said, "Brother Du, is this Xiaochen cook the girl you met on the road?"

Only then did Du Qingshan hold back the words that were about to block Song Guichen, nodded to Gu Yi and said, "That's right, I didn't expect to meet her again here, and I must thank Miss Ziying."

If it wasn't for Gu Ziying's suggestion to come to Shuocuilou, he wouldn't have found this petty and arrogant "savior" so quickly.

　Happy weekend is over. Hey, hey!well!
