The outer chamber is not what I want, the general will send you a sword!

Chapter 58 Betrayal of Deshenglou Recipe

"Let's go upstairs and talk, it's too noisy here..." Xia Jin walked towards the second floor.

Qin Haoou followed behind her, and shopkeeper Qi chased after her, cupping his hands repeatedly at Qin Haoou.

"Boss Qin, this is all a misunderstanding, please don't take it to heart!"

When Qin Haoou went up to the second floor, he glared at Qi Luoyun with hatred.

"Do you know who he is, dare to talk to him like this!"

"Father, isn't he a cook?" Qi Luoyun covered her face.

"He is the boss here, your father and I are the shopkeeper he hired, if you lose your job because of this matter, where do you ask father to find such a good job!"

"Isn't Dad the shopkeeper of Desheng Building? Then why did Dad go to various places instead of Desheng Building!" Qi Luoyun didn't believe it.

Shopkeeper Qi paced around with his hands behind his back, thinking about how to explain later, Qin Haoou walked down.

"Old Qi, let's go!"

"Boss Qin, please give me one more chance, I will definitely teach my little girl well, and won't let her lose her sense of propriety!" Shopkeeper Qi begged for mercy.

Qin Haoou's eyes were firm, even with a hint of anger.

He could bear to use Deshenglou's name to solicit connections and give gifts outside, but he couldn't bear to be disrespectful to his master!

"There is no room for maneuver in this matter, get out of here immediately!"

Qin Haoou pointed out the door!
Shopkeeper Qi's legs gave way and he almost fell to the ground. He had been a shopkeeper in Desheng Building for ten years, and he was highly sought after everywhere. He almost forgot that he was just a hired shopkeeper.

He staggered out, Qi Luoyun saw her father go out, and hurriedly followed.

"Father, you can't just leave like this! You have been running the Desheng Building all along, so it stands to reason that you have arrived!"

"Don't worry, Dad has thought about this day for a long time, and has already made plans, let's go!"

Xia Jin stood by the window on the second floor, watched them go away, and then lowered the curtain.

"Master, I'm sorry, because my poor management has caused trouble for you." Qin Haoou said apologetically.

"It's better to be fired earlier, so as not to cause trouble for you in the future!"

Just because Qi Luoyun is a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, how can she conjure up a fake ginseng king to deceive the old lady, and even forge that she has been to the chamber of commerce. This series of things is obviously instigated by someone behind the scenes.

Probably shopkeeper Qi taught his daughter since she was a child, brainwashed her to make her feel like a young lady, and wanted to make her marry into the general's mansion to reach the sky in one step.

However, people with bad intentions are destined not to go far!

In a few days, it will be the old lady's birthday banquet. Qin Haoou and Xia Jin discussed the recipe, and Xia Jin left after making some comments.

Having eaten a bit too much in Desheng Building just now, Xia Jin decided to walk back to the house to digest food.

Just when passing by a house, Xia Jin stopped.

"Isn't that shopkeeper Qi? What is he doing here furtively?"

This residential area is not far from the General's Mansion, where there are high-ranking officials and dignitaries. Xia Jin has inquired about it, and the housing prices here are ridiculously high.

Even a businessman with a little money couldn't afford it, unless he was a very rich businessman, he could buy a house in this area.

Xia Jin looked up at the plaque, which had the word "Song Mansion" written on it.

Song Mansion?

Xia Jin took out a token from the corner of the cloth bag she carried with her, and carefully checked that the runes on it were exactly the same as those engraved on the gate!
These runes represent the totem of a family, and unless they belong to that family, they are not allowed to be used.

So Xia Jin can be sure that this is Master Song's house.

Mr. Song went to Desheng Building to be a judge of a cooking competition. He once extended an olive branch to Xia Jin, wanting to recruit her to be a chef in his house to cook for him. He also offered a high price and gave her this piece of token.

Shopkeeper Qi has just come out of Desheng Tower, and arrived here, what is he going to do?
"Let's go back first."

Xia Jin walked quickly towards Xia's residence, changed into night clothes in the room, put on Li Kui's mask and turned into a black shadow, and leaped to the outside of Song's residence.

It is evening now, and the sun is setting, leaving only a red glow like red silk on the western mountain top, which gradually fades and disappears as time goes by.

The maids in the mansion lit up the lamps, and as each lamp was lit up, the entire Song Mansion was lit up.

Xia Jin dodged a group of patrolling servants, ducked through the backyard quickly and arrived at the main courtyard, looked in through the window, and saw shopkeeper Qi standing in front of Master Song, holding a scroll in his hand.

"Master Song, these are all the secret recipes of Deshenglou's cooking in the past ten years, and I have worked hard to get them! I want to sell them to you, do you think it will work?"

Xia Jin's brows twitched, and she said, why did he walk so simply, it turned out that he had already left behind!

Lord Song took the scroll and opened it for a few glances, then shook his head and said, "These dishes can be eaten at Desheng Building, I don't need to spend money to buy these recipes."

This Mr. Song is quite shrewd, Xia Jin couldn't help laughing, the shopkeeper Qi has hit the iron plate, it seems that today will be fruitless~
However, shopkeeper Qi calmly turned the scroll over.

"Master Song, this is the point!"

Mr. Song didn't think so at first, but when he saw the content behind, his face changed, he stood up and paced around!

"Lin Ziyi is investigating me!"

What was written on the back of the scroll was a conversation that Shopkeeper Qi overheard and recorded!

"How much money do you want?" Master Song asked
Shopkeeper Qi stretched out five fingers, "50 taels!"

"You are a lion!" Master Song scolded angrily.

"Compared to the benefits Mr. Song got, these are just a drop in the bucket. I have three copies of this scroll. I think it should be worth the price!"

"Okay, deal!" Master Song ordered someone to fetch the bank notes.

Shopkeeper Qi took the banknote with a greedy expression on his face. With this money, he can open a restaurant in other cities with the copied recipes!
He went out, but he didn't know that Master Song wiped his neck at the attendant beside him!
Seeing the door open, Xia Jin's back was pressed against the wall, waiting for someone to walk away, Xia Jin took a look inside the room, and finally decided to follow!
After shopkeeper Qi left the Song Mansion, he hummed a ditty, looking forward to the happiness of being the boss in the future.

As everyone knows, at this moment a black shadow is quietly approaching.

The moon was getting higher and higher, and a shadow with a long sword raised was reflected in front of Shopkeeper Qi.

The moment the sword fell, he dodged quickly, but because he was too anxious, his left foot sprained and his right foot fell to the ground, and the bank notes in his arms were blown away by the wind.

"My silver!" He hurried to grab it, and a pair of black boots stepped on his hand.

He looked up, and saw a sword pierced right between his eyebrows!
By the time Xia Jin arrived, it was already too late!
At this moment, a group of officers and soldiers surrounded us!

"Catch her!"
