The sick and weak boss relies on me to reach the pinnacle of life

Xie Qingtang took off her apron, and said to the nearest cook: "I forgot to put a medicinal ingredient into the medicinal food, please help me watch the fire, I will be back in a while."

"Okay, ma'am, I understand." The chef next to her immediately agreed, and Xie Qingtang nodded and left the kitchen. After she left, the chefs began to discuss.

The oldest chef had been working in the villa for almost ten years, he threw the knife in his hand directly on the cutting board, and said dissatisfiedly: "During this time, apart from eating the medicinal food made by his wife, Mr. Gu, we cook He didn't take a bite of the dishes, it seems that he is not satisfied with our dishes, I think we are not far from dismissal."

"Yes, if this continues, we will lose our jobs collectively. I don't think this lady came to the villa to enjoy the blessings, but she came to compete with us for work and cooking. So does Mr. Gu. Why is he eating medicinal food every day these days? gone?"

"Everything is to try to be fresh, Mr. Gu may be just trying to be fresh these days, and didn't we also make medicinal meals for Mr. Gu several times a while ago?"

"Speaking of this matter, I get angry. When we made the herbal diet for Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu didn't eat it every day, and sometimes he stopped eating after one bite. Now he can eat even one bite of the herbal diet made by his wife. There is nothing left, this treatment, tsk tsk, really makes me, a chef, envious."

When talking about this matter, the other chefs also nodded one after another. In the past few days, Gu Xiujin ate Xie Qingtang's medicinal food, and he really liked it, and he ate it clean every time.

When a chef sees the food he cooked being eaten by others, it is the greatest compliment to his culinary skills, but they have never received such a compliment after working in the villa for so many years.

But these chefs who were discussing these things in the kitchen didn't know that Xie Qingtang was lying on a small hole above, observing the situation inside carefully, and his eyes fell on the place where he was sitting without blinking. On the boiled medicinal food.

About 20 minutes later, Xie Qingtang returned to the kitchen again. The chefs who gathered together dispersed in an instant, and then greeted her with a smile, as if the behavior of talking about her behind her back just now had never happened .

Xie Qingtang, who saw all this in his eyes, did not poke their smiling faces, and put the medicinal materials that had been prepared in advance into the medicinal diet, and chatted with other people along the way.

Finally the medicinal meal was ready, Xie Qingtang brought the medicinal meal to the table, and then said seriously to Gu Xiujin: "The cooking of the medicinal meal is a bit off today, it may not suit your appetite."

"Oh, since you said it's not to my liking, I won't take the herbal diet tonight." Gu Xiujin said flatly, pushing aside the medicinal diet made by Xie Qingtang.

Seeing this scene, the butler standing beside him was a little dazed, and quickly said: "Mr. Gu, no matter whether it suits your appetite or not, this medicinal meal is cooked by Madam for several hours. Mr. Gu should take a sip."

"Yeah, I've been cooking for so long, and I finally realized that I forgot to put in some medicinal ingredients. Although I put it in at the end, the heat was wrong, and this pot of medicinal food was ruined." Xie Qingtang said with some emotion.

Gu Xiujin glanced at her indifferently, extended his chopsticks to other dishes, and said calmly: "It's okay, just pay attention next time, I won't eat medicinal food tonight, it's good to eat some ordinary food."

After finishing speaking, the two of them put the pot of medicinal food that had been boiled for several hours behind them, and ate the dishes made by the chef.

After dinner, Gu Xiujin went into the kitchen, and said to the housekeeper, "I have business to do, so no one should disturb me."

"Okay, young master, I understand." The housekeeper nodded and gave instructions directly. Gu Xiujin entered the study, and Xie Qingtang was already waiting for him in the study, and the two exchanged glances.

Xie Qingtang said directly: "Today I found a random reason and didn't stay in front of the medicinal food. As expected, the mouse hiding in the dark couldn't wait to act. This pot of medicinal food has been poisoned."

It turned out that the medicinal food that had not been touched just now was brought into the study by Xie Qingtang for poison testing at some point. Sure enough, the pot of medicinal food was poisoned.

"Do you know who poisoned it?" Gu Xiujin said with a serious face, Xie Qingtang paced back and forth, touched his chin, and told what he had observed: "According to my observations, after I left Afterwards, the people who approached this pot of medicinal food included the cook I ordered to watch the fire, the housekeeper, and the servant Yang Ma who came in to pick up the dishes."

Under the observation of the small hole above, Xie Qingtang had a clear view of those who had approached the medicinal meal. Although there were many people passing by the medicinal meal, these three people were the only ones who opened the lid of the medicinal meal.

"So who do you think is the most suspicious person?" Gu Xiujin asked.

Xie Qingtang was stunned for a moment. In fact, she didn't see clearly through the small hole, and the kitchen was hot. The moment the lid of the medicinal food was opened, the heat from the medicinal food would rush towards her face, temporarily covering her sight.

So she didn't clearly see someone poisoning the medicated food, she only knew that the three of them had opened the lid of the medicated food to see it.

"Then what do you think?" Xie Qingtang felt that Gu Xiujin, as the owner of this villa, must know more about the people he hired than she, an outsider, so Gu Xiujin should know which of the three people is the most suspicious.

Gu Xiujin stood there quietly without saying a word. After a while, he said to Xie Qingtang: "I will let Li Zhao investigate the three people you mentioned."

"That's good, but it seems that the person you trust the most is Li Zhao. After all, he was the first person you tested." Xie Qingtang said with a smile. That night, Gu Xiujin took her out to live. Let Li Zhao bring breakfast early in the morning, in fact, it is also to test him.

And the breakfast that morning was not poisoned, that is to say, Li Zhao was excluded, which is why Gu Xiujin let Li Zhao investigate these three people at ease.

The two glanced at each other tacitly, and Xie Qingtang left the study, and went directly back to the room to rest, but he didn't know that at the corner, the housekeeper saw her coming out of the study clearly, and frowned slightly. rise.
