The Death Plan of a Hero of the Empire

Well, it's purely because I'm his teammate, and I can't bear to see Lu Nier let himself down.

Li Jie wanted to persuade her, but she felt that it was not good to say it directly, because it would expose the fact that she didn't sleep last night.

From Lu Nier's perspective, today's Li Jie is almost the same as usual, her eyes are still flat...or a little more flat than usual.

Because Lize wears a mask to cover her face every day, Lu Nier can't see anything.

After breakfast, Lu Nier and Li Jie set off to work together.

When we arrived at the restaurant, Yi Lian also rented a carriage to buy goods from a distance today, and was not tricked by those profiteers.

Lu Nier also started to make small red shrimp.

It didn't take long for Lunier to realize that something was wrong, because today's workload was a little too easy.

Lu Nier could even take a look in front of the restaurant in his free time, and found that there were a lot fewer customers today than before.

Yi Lian settled accounts at the front desk, her expression turned into a bitter face again, and Li Jie pushed the door in, as if she had just gone out.

"What happened?" Lunier asked, "Why are there so few customers today?"

"I just went to ask, and found that several other nearby restaurants have also started selling fried small red shrimp." Li Jie said.

"What?" Elaine was a little annoyed, "Why are these people like this!"

"It's not surprising." Lu Nier said, "The method of frying small red shrimp is not difficult, even very simple. A qualified chef can deduce the recipe, as long as he has his hands."

"But... their taste may not be as good as ours!"

"That's true. The customers say that their fried little red shrimp is not as delicious as here, but..." Li Jie spread her hands helplessly, "They sell it cheaply, and the price is much lower than our restaurant."

"This is a malicious price reduction! It's too much!"

Lu Nier also fell into deep thought. This method of lowering prices is actually a bit incomprehensible. It not only broke the restaurant's monopoly on fried small red shrimp, but also used the price advantage to grab business.

But this time, it was obvious that someone was targeting him.

To break the situation, it is impossible to lower the price first. They lowered the price because they did not mainly rely on the red shrimp to make a profit, but purely because they wanted to maliciously lower the price and destroy the business of Elaine Restaurant.

Introducing new dishes may be a way, but the problem is that currently the only chef in this restaurant is Lu Nier, and he is very busy with just one fried small red shrimp, and he can't handle other dishes.

Lu Nier thought for a while, and suddenly had an idea, he ran into the kitchen, and soon brought out a new plate of fried small red shrimp.

This plate of small red shrimp is a little different from ordinary fried small red shrimp. Its smell is obviously spicy.

"You try it."

Upon hearing Lu Nier's words, Elaine and Li Jie each picked up a small red shrimp, peeled one and stuffed it into their mouths.

"Well!"

Shrimp meat enters the mouth, as if hot oil is poured on the tongue, a wonderful taste spreads instantly, as if it complements the spicy pain, and combines into a wonderful taste.

Yi Lian seemed to feel like a fire was burning in her body, feeling a little hot all over, so she quickly picked up a glass of water and drank it down.

"call……"

"How about it?"

"Okay!" Elaine said excitedly, "What did you add? This is very spicy, but it's delicious. The aroma has been upgraded to a higher level. It feels like my tongue is going to explode. It's still a little numb."

"It's delicious, and the taste has been completely improved." Li Jie briefly expressed her opinion, "It's just a bit spicy. I don't like spicy food very much, but this should be an advantage."

"I added a secret seasoning." Lunier didn't specify, "Okay, Elaine, how do you feel about selling this?"

"I feel that even if other little red shrimps are cheaper than this one, there must be people rushing to buy this new little red shrimp. It's the cost of your secret seasoning..." Yi Lian hesitated.

"You don't need to calculate this, I will provide the secret seasoning."

"Well, if you give me an approximate figure, I'll give you an extra bonus."

"also……"

Lu Nier casually quoted a very low price.

"so cheap?"

"It's an ancestral recipe. Well, go publicize it. I'll make a few plates of new little red shrimp to test the feedback from customers."

"Ok!"

Soon, a few customers walked into the store, and then tried to order a spicy red shrimp.

As Yi Lian predicted, this new fried small red shrimp is more popular. Even if the price remains the same, and other shops lower the price, it still cannot conceal its charm.

The most important thing is that this new dish of fried small red shrimp has already touched the passing line of triggering the hallucination of deliciousness. It will make people feel as if the body is burning, it will make people full of energy, and it has the effect of boosting energy .

This is the simple version of "Spicy Little Red Shrimp".

This is thanks to the wonder item [Inexhaustible Spice Bag (Spicy Powder)].

The strange item that Lu Nier drew before was thought to be useless, but he thought of this when he was trying to find a way just now, so he tried it.

I found that the spicy powder poured out of this strange thing is not an ordinary seasoning, but a very high-quality seasoning, which is not inferior to what Lunier has tasted in the original world. It is precisely prepared by modern industry The seasoning is even more than that, and it is very tasty.

Most importantly, it is endless!

Although there are many restrictions on it.

First of all, it can't be poured casually. Usually, if you use it to pour spicy powder, half a grain cannot be poured out.

The spicy powder in the bag can only be poured out when Lu Nier is cooking, and the amount of one-time dumping is also limited, and these spicy powder will be integrated into the dishes and cannot be preserved.

In other words, it is equivalent to unlimited spicy seasoning for the dishes cooked by Lu Nier himself, but other than that, it can't even pour out half a grain of seasoning.

The small red shrimp cooked with it, the taste is completely integrated into the essence of spicy, from ordinary fried small red shrimp, evolved into spicy small red shrimp!

The business in the store has not only returned to normal, but because the unique taste of the spicy red shrimp has been spread by word of mouth, it has instantly attracted a large number of customers.

The ordinary fried small red shrimp in other stores can't compete with the spicy small red shrimp here.

Similarly, because the business was so hot that Lu Nier was busy for a long time, frying the small red shrimp until his arms were a little sour.

Elaine didn't force Neil, knowing that Lu Neil had a lot of work to do, even if there were some little red shrimps left, and the time didn't reach the end of the normal meal, she asked Lu Neil to stop working and announce the closure of business .

After the customers in the store were gone and the store was cleaned up, Elaine looked at the ledger with glowing eyes.

"It's too profitable, should we raise some prices?"

"You are the boss, you decide." Lu Nier was not interested in this, "By the way, you should hire people earlier, I don't think the dishes can be cleaned today."

"That's true. Fortunately, I have gloves, otherwise my hands would be soaked and skinned. Tomorrow I will find a way to recruit some handymen, just to help the kitchen..."

Having said that, Elaine's expression was a little worried.

Chapter 2: The Price of Happiness (4)

In most kitchens, especially restaurants with unique recipes and secret recipes, the selection of chefs is very strict.

The first thing is to keep it secret. A unique signature dish can bring monopoly revenue to a restaurant, so you must choose the right one.

But Lu Nier does not have this requirement, because the deliciousness of his fried shrimp is not due to the unique recipe and method, but purely supported by his cooking skills, characteristics and unique spicy powder.

So Lunier doesn't need the chef to keep it secret, but the chef must have clean hands and feet, otherwise, if they do something while cooking and spoil the guests, it will be all over.

And he doesn't need to be very skilled, as long as he is a helper, such as cleaning up ingredients, or cleaning the kitchen.

Lu Nier directly put forward his ideas and requirements.

"If you don't need to keep it secret, it will be much easier to find." Elaine thought for a while, "I will look for it today."

After finalizing this, Lunier officially got off work today, shaking his sore arms, Lunier and Li Jie returned to the hotel, talking about the task while walking.

Because Lu Nier was in the back kitchen, he didn't hear the conversations of the guests, but Li Jie had been working as a waiter. Although she was very busy, she was distracted and listened to the conversations of the guests.

However, there is no useful news in the casual exchanges of the guests. It is similar to the gossip news of the housewives, and there is no difference.

Now Lunier can only look forward to the actions of Alonia and other investigators. His actions are limited, and he begins to feel that it is a mistake for him to find a job to cover up his identity.

Because this is really a waste of time, most of the time is spent on work every day, and there is no way to solve the task.

As Lu Nier was walking, he suddenly stopped, and saw a group of homeless men approaching in the distance. One of the homeless men was surrounded by others, and he knew that his status was not low at a glance. The pedestrians around him They all avoided.

Lu Nier recognized it at a glance, and the tramp surrounded by them was Alonia. She didn't seem to see Lu Nier and Lize, and walked past them.

Lunier knew that this was done by Alonia on purpose, otherwise a homeless man would be so easy to talk to someone, it would not be logical at all, it would be a bit abnormal.

But from this point of view, Alonia's current status among the homeless is obviously not low, and it should have reached the intelligence support of the homeless circle.

Lunier focused on integrating information about three unusually rich families with a lot of rumors, especially the Finger family.

Then he got some more detailed information, that is, according to the rumors, there are actually two explanations for the reason why the Black Widow is called this name.

The first explanation is what Lu Neil knew before. She always wears black clothes and is a widow herself, so she is called the Black Widow.

Another explanation is that the real meaning of this black widow is that she is cruel and unscrupulous, not because of the color of her clothes.

Of these two explanations, Lunier is more inclined to the second explanation.

Because the more news he heard, the more Lu Nier felt that if the Black Widow was not a cruel person, she would not be able to become the actual power holder of the Finger family.

It is not easy to be in charge of a family, and it is even more difficult to be a widow. If she, Sarah, has no means, then it is not her turn to be the ruler of the Finger family now.

One of the rumors that made Lunier more concerned is that the black widow has a special hobby of playing with young and beautiful men.

In the evening, after Lu Nier finished his dinner, he heard a knock on the door, and then saw the black widow's subordinate, who was suspected to be the butler.

"Madam's original words, old time, see or leave."

"I see."

"Then leave."

After receiving Lu Nier's response, the butler left without hesitation.

Lu Nier closed the door and turned back, only to see Li Jie sitting on the bed staring at him.

"Where are you going?"

"Finger's house." Lu Nier replied, he felt that there was no need to hide Li Jie, "Actually, when that person came to see me last night, he gave me a note asking me to go to Finger at midnight. The back garden of the house."

"did you go?"

"Well, I went there at midnight last night and met the black widow of the Finger family." Lunier said, "Then I made a deal with her, she let me play with her, and gave me a sum of money. "

"Play? How to play? What to play?" Li Jie asked nervously.

"I don't know either. She just let me sit on a chair last night, and she leaned on my shoulder for about an hour." Lu Nier replied.

"..."

Li Jie paused and thought about it. She believed in Lu Nier, because she felt that Lu Nier had no need to deceive her.

"Be careful of your own safety." Li Jie warned carefully, "Don't eat or drink what she gave, and if something goes wrong, run away immediately. I will go with you tonight, and I will support you at any time nearby. If something goes wrong, you Call me."

"No need for this, I don't think it should be dangerous."

"No! I must go, or I will stop you from going!" Li Jie's attitude was very firm.

"Okay then." Lu Nier said, "Let's go together, but we must keep a distance, so that the Finger family cannot notice that someone is following me."

"Ah."

After talking about this matter, the two of them went out after midnight.

Lu Nier walked all the way to Finger's house, and Li Jie followed him far behind, while paying attention to whether anyone else was following and monitoring Lu Nier.

Lu Nier walked to the back door of Finger's house, and the housekeeper also opened the door for Lu Nier, and then the two walked into the back garden.

Lunier saw the same scene as yesterday, the black widow was sitting on a bench in a black silk nightdress, her posture was casual and lazy.

"Sit down, I want to chat with you." Sarah patted the bench beside her.

Lu Nier sat next to Sarah, pulling away a little distance like yesterday.

Seeing this action, Sarah couldn't help feeling a little funny.

"What do you want to talk about?" Lunil asked.

"Is there nothing you want to talk about?" Sarah asked back.

"As for the restaurant I'm working at now, do you know who is targeting that restaurant?" Luneil asked casually, and it was naturally impossible for him to ask directly about happy medicine in a stupid way.
