Big Devil Slime it's soft
Chapter 24 Qiu Qiu shyly said: "You let me...
Qiu Qiu's glass of low-alcohol sparkling wine made Lu Wen howl earth-shatteringly, almost crying out all the grievances in her life.
The doormat doesn't like to be angry, once the grievance breaks out, it will be out of control.
A quarter of an hour had passed when she finally calmed down after she finished cursing vaguely about the eighteen generations of ancestors of this store.She rubbed her eyes and raised her head, suddenly froze in fright.
In a door not far ahead, many people were looking at her.
"..." Lu Wen hiccupped in shock, and quickly covered her flushed face.
As long as I don't see it, the world doesn't exist.
The master spoke, and the head of the news agency came out, and finally persuaded her to enter the banquet hall with good words.Lu Wen wiped her face clean, and chatted with Master Wang Wu tremblingly.
Wang Wu hadn't been this angry for a long time.
He even began to doubt his proud profession as he listened to the young girl's account of the day.
As a four-star reviewer, wherever he goes, he must come into contact with delicious food made by the chefs with all their painstaking efforts.
But can the delicacies he praised casually be eaten by ordinary diners?
The answer is obviously no.
Lu Wen talked about many comments she saw on review sites, heartfelt praise from diners, handwritten blessings to the restaurant, warm and moving food stories...
Everything is like a wonderful dream carefully woven, and the viewers are all addicted.
"There are almost no bad reviews on the website. As long as you search, the first restaurant of its kind must be Mengli Township, and there is no way to compare the next few." Lu Wen smiled bitterly: "Why is this so? I looked at the pictures posted by others, and there was no Boiled lion head, no burnt vermicelli... Is my luck particularly bad?"
It is true that personal experience cannot be used as evidence of whether a restaurant is qualified.Lu Wen was soft-spoken and didn't think about what to fight for.
She was even prepared to be drowned in praise even if she made a sound.
After hearing this, Master Wang Wu remained silent for a long time, and said in a deep voice for a while, "You write the comment, and I will post it for you."
Lu Wen was taken aback.
"Every diner's voice deserves to be heard." Wang Wu straightened his back and looked majestic: "No matter how this restaurant is usually, today it is an indisputable fact that its management is chaotic and it is extremely irresponsible for the dishes. Such a situation occurs , Exposure can sound a wake-up call for them.”
As Wang Wu said, his expression could not hide his disappointment: "Afterwards, the restaurant will definitely conduct self-examination, pursue accountability, and rectify... This is a good thing."
The master speaks, speaking speed, pronunciation, are comfortable and calm.
Everyone was listening intently, Jiang Li made an excuse to go to the bathroom and left the small hall, almost no one paid extra attention to her.
After going out the door, Jiang Li looked left and right, gradually accelerated his pace, changed from walking to trotting, and rushed downstairs all the way.
The lobby on the first floor is full of people, and the waiters are like fish swimming in the gaps, filling up the space with the diners.
Jiang Li was walking very fast, and suddenly bumped into a waiter, almost spilling the wine in his hand.
"Sorry." He said coldly.
The waiter lowered his head and shook his head vigorously.
Jiang Li's polite words were purely to get away as soon as possible. Seeing that this person was not entangled, he didn't want to say any more. He hurried through the entire hall, pushed open the door that said "customers stop", and entered the back kitchen of Mengli Township.
The previous chef is in the small kitchen in the third district.
He wiped off his usual knives one by one, stuffed them into the storage cabinet, and moved slowly... Suddenly there was a gust of wind ahead, and Jiang Li broke in.
"Tao Changrong!" Jiang Li suppressed his voice and said angrily, "Why don't you read the news!"
The only remaining apprentice in the small kitchen trembled in fright, put down the sanitary utensils and slipped out.
So far, there are only two people left in the space.
"What news?" The chef raised his eyelids.
Jiang Li took a deep breath, with dark clouds on his face: "You screwed up today, do you know!? After you left, a little girl ran outside our door crying! She said that the food in the store today was unpalatable, and there are photos To prove it, the master is going to be mad!"
Jiang Li said, turned around in a circle, and said anxiously: "What a coincidence, what a coincidence."
The chef was a little surprised, and frowned: "And then."
"Then, oh, then... The master said that we didn't care about the feelings of ordinary diners, and we had to vent our anger on that girl. He asked the girl to write a bad review for him, and he sent it. Isn't this the end of it!" Jiang Li said angrily: " How did you do it!"
"What the hell is going on."
After the chef finished speaking, he picked up another knife and covered it with dry absorbent paper.
His voice was cold: "Apologize, pay compensation, explain the staff's mistakes, fire, promise to strengthen management in the future... These are all things we are used to, and we have someone to take care of them. What are you in a hurry for?"
"..."
Jiang Li felt his breath stuck in his throat, and his body felt chills.
He looked at Tao Changrong.
The well-reviewed chef stretched his eyebrows and relaxed his posture, slowly wiping his knife.
There was no pause in the movement, both calm and elegant.
For such a big matter, in his eyes, it seemed that even a second of panic was not worth it.
As the contact person of the food review agency, Jiang Li came to Weiyan District and got acquainted with Tao Changrong in just over a month.
Every time I deal with this person, I will have some incredible feelings.
His chest was tight, and his heart was sinking gradually.
Some thoughts were tumbling and tossing violently in my mind, and finally tore a hole in my reason——
"That little assistant of the news agency," Jiang Li's voice was almost squeezed out of his throat: "... Did you report it to the higher authorities?"
Jiang Li had wanted to ask this question for a long time.
A few days ago, the Daily Weiyan News Agency came to Mengli Township to do a program, and the female host's assistant strayed into the back kitchen.
The unlucky assistant accidentally ran into the scene where Jiang Li was talking to Tao Changrong, and when he wanted to leave, he smashed a plate in a panic.
The noise alarmed Jiang Li and the chef.
The cowardly little assistant was caught on the spot, and was terribly cowardly. He immediately swore that he hadn't heard anything, and even took the initiative to hand over the terminal to them for inspection.
At that time, Jiang Li was not very worried.
It is difficult for people in the industry to understand their dialogue, let alone understand the shady tricks in it.
In addition, after checking the little assistant's terminal, there was no video or anything, so Jiang Li decided to let him go.
Tao Changrong also nodded at that time.
But Jiang Li never expected that after only one day, he was called to the tea room by the administrator, and he also learned that the little assistant was seriously injured.
Is it really an accident?Or did someone make a move?
If it was just an accident, the administrator of Weiyan District would interrogate so many people with great fanfare?
Other than him, the only person who knew about the little assistant was Chef Tao Changrong.
Did Tao Rongchang report to the higher authorities?
...that is a life!
Jiang Li is a person with a low sense of morality, willing to do anything for money.
But even so, he never thought that the bad things he did would be related to life and death.
He kept brainwashing himself, saying it was an accident, it was an accident, and he didn't know anything... But at this moment, facing Tao Changrong who was acting as if nothing had happened, he suddenly couldn't suppress his doubts anymore.
He was terrified.
"What are you talking about?" the chef said, without even looking at Jiang Li, he packed his things by himself: "What's up, what's the report?"
Jiang Li didn't feel comforted, his lower lip trembled, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.
Such a calm reaction confirmed his guess in a sense. He was dizzy for a while, shook his head, and then propped up the operating table sideways to prevent himself from losing his composure and falling.
At this moment, Jiang Li suddenly saw a shadow cast obliquely on the ground outside the curtain, like a squatting figure.
Someone is outside.
He broke out in a cold sweat instantly.
The cold and sticky feeling crawled all over the back, gathered into drops of water, and flowed to the waist.Jiang Li didn't dare to turn his head, for fear of being discovered by the chef.
Yu Guang stared at the shadow, wanting to confirm that it was not his illusion.
After a while, the shadow moved, and the place where the suspected head seemed to have turned at an angle, and a small sharp corner appeared.
...is that a braid?
Jiang Li suddenly remembered the waiter he bumped into earlier, even though he lowered his head, his figure was still very familiar.It's just that he was in a hurry to find Tao Changrong just now, so he didn't think about it.
Bai Xiaoxu.That's Bai Xiaoxu!
"Fuck!" Jiang Li slapped the console, and at the same time took a step towards the door curtain, pretending to be furious: "You've been acting weird all day long, and you don't know what to do if something happens! It's not your responsibility to mess up the banquet." Is it wrong!?"
Jiang Li squeezed his sticky palms: "It's not only your business that's affected, but also the reputation of our food review agency!"
The chef frowned slightly, as if he didn't like the way he was making such a scene, and said coldly, "It's not your turn to take care of me."
After that, he bent down and put the knife box into the cabinet.
"Are you leaving now!?" Jiang Li said loudly, even breaking his voice.
"It's all said," the chef seemed to be bored at last: "You can't control me."
The conversation came to an end.
The chef pushed Jiang Li away, raised the curtain, and walked away.
Da da da.
The footsteps gradually receded, and then disappeared completely.Jiang Li finally heard his own heartbeat that coincided with it.
It's as heavy as a drum beating in your ears.
He gasped hard, again and again.
After a while, he walked out of the small kitchen, kicked the cardboard boxes piled up by the door, and picked out a person from the falling ingredients and sundries.
"Bai! Xiao! Xu!" Jiang Li pushed the person against the wall and roared, "You fucking die!? What are you doing here? What did you see? Ah!??"
Bai Xiaoxu was caught suddenly, he was already terrified, and Jiang Li strangled his neck, so he rolled his eyes and instinctively pushed Jiang Li's hand.
It took a long time before the hand let go.
Fresh air poured in, and Bai Xiaoxu bent over and coughed violently. Before he could catch his breath, Jiang Li dragged him by the back collar to the small kitchen, his legs kicking feebly on the ground, like a poor chicken cub.
The small kitchen was not monitored, Bai Xiaoxu was thrown on the ground by Jiang Li, and instinctively crawled back two steps until his back leaned against the wall.
Both of them panted for a while, Bai Xiaoxu raised his head, and saw a pale light falling from above his head, illuminating Jiang Li like a ghost.
"Take it out." Jiang Li's face was livid.
With red eyes, Bai Xiaoxu struggled for a while, and took out a pen cap-sized video device from his trouser pocket.
Trembling and handing it over.
Jiang Li also shook his hands and stuck the pen cap on the terminal.
Ten seconds later, he clicked on the video, which was recorded when he entered the small kitchen, recording the complete conversation with chef Tao Rongchang.
After Jiang Li finished watching, he pressed the correct button several times, deleted the video, and then threw the pen cap on the ground and crushed it with his foot.
"Bai Xiaoxu, you are really capable." Jiang Li was still in shock, but at the same time he was full of hatred: "What good do you get for doing this kind of thing!? Are you crazy to keep Samsung? Dream it!"
Bai Xiaoxu: "..."
"Die faster!" Jiang Li's eyes were bloodshot, and the blood was woven into a spider web, staring at Bai Xiaoxu: "You die faster like this, do you know!?"
"...So what." Bai Xiaoxu panted for a while, then patted his buttocks to get up.
"Fuck!" Jiang Li pointed at him: "A commentator! If you're not in the right place, then you're inappropriate. How can you die!? Life matters!?"
As he spoke, Jiang Li caught Bai Xiaoxu's gaze unexpectedly.
Indifference and disgust, like ice water to quench anger.
The air freezes.
After a while, Jiang Li spoke with a hoarse voice.
"You can't intervene in this matter." He said slowly: "In the entire Weiyan District, even in the capital, you can't find anyone who can intervene. Whoever touches it will die."
He hid his red eyes in the shadow of his forehead, and paused: "Now, get out before I change my mind."
Bai Xiaoxu glanced at him vigilantly, turned around with his mouth pursed.
First walk a few steps, then trot, and finally run wildly.
The golden corridor of Mengli Township is full of carp reliefs, and when they run quickly, the fish swim as if they come alive.
The surrounding scenery was grotesque and absurd, and Bai Xiaoxu's head became dizzy due to lack of oxygen.
He didn't dare to stop a step, he went up to the third floor along the deserted place, ran into a toilet at the corner, and locked the door.
There is another piece of video equipment, hidden by Bai Xiaoxu in the pocket of his close-fitting T-shirt, which is now tightly attached to his chest.
He can't bet on Jiang Li's conscience, he has to run away.
to escape.
Bai Xiaoxu supported the toilet door and breathed heavily to relieve the powerlessness brought by the lack of oxygen.About 2 minutes later, someone seemed to be approaching from outside the corridor.
He didn't dare to go out again, straightened up, and looked at the only window.
The third floor is not high, so he climbed down, Bai Xiaoxu clenched his fists to encourage himself.
There are neon lights flickering in the field of vision, reflecting bright blue or purple colors, and suddenly a spot of light focuses and hits the glass with a snap.
It is a drop of water.
It seems to be raining.
-
"It's raining!" Downstairs, a young recorder complained to the terminal: "Damn, I'm not wearing a waterproof jacket, Qingqing, come and change shifts with me earlier."
After the news was sent out, the recorder looked at the silent boss beside him, and poked him: "Brother Ahu, it's raining."
Ah Hu looked blankly at the dust in the air as if he had never heard of it.
The two are routinely staying at the side gate of Mengli Township.
This is a dark narrow street, full of debris, not to mention vehicles, there are not many pedestrians.Except for the neon lights cast diagonally across, there was nothing but boredom.
The fine rain fell, soon soaking Ah Hu's short hair.
He sighed brightly and sadly.
The recorder patted him on the shoulder very sympathetically: "Brother Ah Hu, don't be sad. Isn't it just a lovelorn? You have lost so many times, and you haven't gotten used to it yet."
Ah Hu: "..."
Ah Hu sighed again: "If you are ugly, is it doomed not to have love for the rest of your life? The day before Xiaohui broke up with me, she sent me a message at three o'clock at night, saying that she made a wish and dreamed of me before going to bed, but it turned out that she really did. It's a nightmare. Woo."
The recorder put his hand on his forehead to keep out the rain without saying a word: "No, Brother Ahu, all you like are pretty girls. Don't pretty girls like handsome guys? Even if you think you're not bad at first, you'll be there later." Maybe you accidentally see the captain, or worse, see [-], or even see sister Jin sometimes, then..."
"It's over." Ah Hu nodded: "I understand. By the way, why did the post I posted on the Internet last time Captain Hei disappeared?"
Recorder:"……"
Ah Hu clicked on the terminal and was about to check the deleted post records when he suddenly heard a noise above his head.
He calmed down in an instant, pressed the bracelet off, stepped back into the shadow of the debris pile with the recorder, and looked up.
On the third floor of Mengli Township, a foot appeared on the window frame.
Then, a young beauty climbed out of the window.
Ah Hu: "..."
She is thin and thin, with a wide white shirt, and her half-length hair is blown messily on her face by the wind, making her skin paler.
She was probably in some trouble, she was about to climb down from the window, and she was struggling, and when she looked down, she revealed one eye, which was full of clear panic, with a pale fragility and ready to cry. is on.
Ah, she is so beautiful.
The ethereal melody of old songs came from the opposite street, the rhythm was shaking, and the husky male voice hummed affectionately.
In Ah Hu's eyes, the world is playing in slow motion at 0.1x speed.
The beauty is in a hurry.The beauty climbed down half a meter.Beauty missed.The beauty screamed.The beauty fell straight down.
This may be called the encounter of fate.
"Only you~ can make this world seem right..."
Ah Hu rushed out and stretched out his arms.
"Only you~ can make the darkness bright..."
The beauty fell into her arms.
Ah Hu's heart was beating extremely fast, holding the beautiful woman was like holding his hard-won love.
"My God," he murmured, "I'm in love."
-
An hour later, Zhong Yu and Qiu Qiu rushed to the tea room. As soon as the door opened, they saw a tiger sitting on the stool, looking downcast, like a gray cracked stone statue.
"What's the matter?" Zhong Yu frowned.
"Uh, I lost my relationship again." A recorder said.
Ah Hu fell in love more than fifty times a year, Zhong Yu took it easy and took off his wet coat: "How is Bai Xiaoxu?"
"Fall asleep in the lounge," said the recorder.
Bai Xiaoxu fell down a building, and just fell into the arms of the recorder, and was taken to the tea room by the express train.
He recovered and insisted that he was so drunk and delirious that he mistook the window for a door.The management office gave him an alcohol test, and it was true that he had drunk, so he provided him with a sofa and asked him to wake up and go home.
Poor Ah Hu found out that his love was a man within an hour, and even jumped off the building drunk, his heart was broken and he fell out of love again.
"Captain." Ah Hu moved his body slowly, lost his mind and said, "I'll leave now that you're here."
It was rare for Zhong Yu to be a human being, so he suppressed the ridicule and waved him off work.
Ah Hu floated out faintly.
Qiu Qiu went into the lounge alone to visit Bai Xiaoxu, and came out after a while with light steps.
"He fell asleep." Qiu Qiu said, "I put Master Wang Wu's pen by his hand."
"Remember to leave a message for him, don't throw it away when you wake up." Zhong Yu said, took out a dry towel from the cabinet, and threw it at Qiu Qiu, just covering his face.
Qiu Qiu hummed, tore off the towel, and put it on his rain-drenched hair.
It was almost eleven o'clock, and there was no sound in the building, and most of the lights were turned off.The corridor was dark, making the natural light in the tea room slightly yellow.
The sound of rain hitting the window reminded Qiu Qiu of No. 0 Tengluo Street with a table of scrambled eggs. Zhong Yu was standing not far away looking through paper documents, which made this strange space not so strange.
Qiu Qiu wiped his hair, thinking: "Why is Xiaobai also in Mengli Township, and fell downstairs. Ask him and don't say anything."
"It's quite a coincidence." Zhong Yu read the document quickly, threw it away, and said casually: "Everywhere accidents happen, he has happened. I have met him several times, and he is quite good at making excuses."
Qiu Qiu was a little surprised: "What happened?"
Zhong Yu frowned, leaned against the cabinet door, and introduced Liu Feifei's seriously injured assistant Xiao Wang.
"Then is he awake now?" Qiu Qiu asked.
"No," Zhong Yu lowered his eyes: "Holding his breath, he has not been in danger until now. At most one more month, if he can't make it through, he will die."
Qiu Qiu was stunned for a while, then comforted Zhong Yu and said, "Don't worry, Xiaobai is carrying my pendant, I will know if I am in danger."
Zhong Yu stared at him for a few seconds.
Then he smiled and pulled the towel away: "Okay, you protect him."
Qiu Qiu nodded seriously.
Drunk people need some hangover soup, that's what the sister recorder who stayed here on duty thought so.She had everything ready, but she was called away by an emergency contact, and the messy ingredients were scattered on the table in the tea room.
Zhong Yu originally planned to go in to get a glass of water, but when he saw the mess, he paused.
Qiu Qiu, who was behind him, really had a keen sense of smell, and stuck his head out from his shoulder without being absent: "What is this?"
"Do you want to drink hangover soup too?" Zhong Yu questioned casually, but he had already started to take over half of the work done by the recorder.
There is no precise way to make this kind of food, as long as it can relieve the hangover, it can be made into any kind.
The recorder's sister obviously has a unique insight into this - on the table are two half-cut tomatoes, a piece of ginger that has been crushed, a bag of brown sugar, and a bucket of instant noodles with the lid off.
Because there is no knife or chopping board in the tea room, the two tomatoes were cut on the cardboard with a knife.
It is simply a tactical intention that is difficult for ordinary people to understand.
Although there are kitchen utensils in the pantry, they are usually not used, not even a jar of salt.
Captain Zhong, who was at the pinnacle of culinary skills, thought for a moment, put the instant noodle seasoning packet aside, found a small ashes-covered saucepan, filled it with boiling water, and threw some broken noodles into it.
Qiu Qiu swallowed hard: "It smells so good."
"It's delicious again?" Zhong Yu pushed him back: "It's been a night, haven't you had enough?"
"You are more fragrant." Qiu Qiu said.
Zhong Yu automatically completed the sexually harassing words, thinking that Qiu Qiu had missed a "of", and didn't think about the truth at all.
The tea room was too small, and he couldn't move freely, and it was even more inconvenient to hang Qiu Qiu, so he asked someone to find two bags of instant chicken breasts in the refrigerator.
"Wen Jin stocked it, you look through it, there must be one, black packaging."
Qiu Qiu obediently turned the chicken breast out, and was ordered to sit outside again, tearing the meat into chicken shreds.
This job was really torturing the slime. Fortunately, Zhong Yu quickly washed his hands, left the small pot still bubbling, and sat across from him to tear it up together.
"It's so pitiful." Qiu Qiu was wrapped in the fragrance, feeling happy while remembering the poor children: "Lu Wen was hungry all night...but why?"
"what why?"
"Why doesn't Mengli Township treat the guests well? It makes bad food and cheats people to make Lu Wen so hungry." Qiu Qiu said.
This question was so easy to answer, Zhong Yu didn't even raise his head: "For money."
"Ah." Qiu Qiu looked at him.
"Do you know how much money such a store can make?"
Zhong Yu lazily said: "Ordinary restaurants, no matter how good the business is, they will not be overloaded like Mengyu Village. Most of them are full at the meal time, and empty after the peak period."
He finished tearing the ones in his hand, and brought over the chicken breast that Qiu Qiu slowly finished tearing up: "But this fishing village is different, relying on publicity, it has always been full of seats from the opening to closing. Compared with similar restaurants, He can make three to five times or even more profits, which is astronomical."
As he said that, Zhong Yu laughed and said, "Let's not even mention the comparison with your little run-down shop... at least tens of thousands of times."
Qiu Qiu didn't take it seriously, and said strangely: "Human beings can't eat much, so what do you need so much money for?"
Zhong Yu restrained his expression, picked up the lunch box and stood up, rubbing the chair against the ground, making a harsh long sound.
"Do anything," he said.
The minced noodles in the pot had been boiled into batter, Zhong Yu added the mashed tomatoes, ginger, brown sugar and let it continue to roll.
Then set up another pot, cook the remaining noodles quickly, put them in cold water, put them in a lunch box, and spread the freshly torn chicken shreds.
The instant noodles are Chinese-style, known as non-fried, and there are three packs of seasonings inside. Zhong Yu has torn open and tasted them before, and the taste is very authentic.
He poured half a bag of soy sauce into the tomato pot to use as salt, and poured the rest on the shredded chicken with red chili pepper and balsamic vinegar.
The tomato soup in the pot was also cooked, Zhong Yu directly poured half of it into the instant noodle bucket, and asked Qiu Qiu to bring it out.
Although the simple cold noodles with shredded chicken and the "tomato-flavored" hangover soup were served casually, Qiu Qiu still felt that they were [-] times more delicious than the exquisite dishes served at the banquet.
The bright red oil is poured over the snow-white shredded chicken and cold noodles, and the aroma of the pasta is infiltrated by the spicy and fresh wrapping, which is sour and attractive.
The tomato puree is hot, the steam coming from the face is fresh and sweet, and the thick texture is very satisfying.
Zhong Yu watched Qiu Qiuniu chewing peonies, and got used to it to some extent, and stopped moving after two sips of soup.
Qiu Qiu swept away the cold noodles, leaving two chicken shreds as usual, and asked the guardian if he wanted to eat.
Unexpectedly, Zhong Yu was more interested today, facing Qiu Qiu's surprised and disappointed eyes, he slowly put the two pieces of chicken shreds that were not as thick as chopsticks into his mouth.
Qiu Qiu murmured, "Human beings don't eat much, don't they want money more?"
"Well," Zhong Yu raised his eyebrows: "Yes, human beings are greedy, and their desires will expand. So you need money and you need to eat, there is no conflict."
Qiu Qiu: "..."
"Money can do anything, and for money, many people can do anything." Zhong Yu restrained his expression: "Don't underestimate human beings, they don't have a big appetite, they are greedy, their wants are endless... Unlike you, There is only one food in the world."
After all, Zhong Yu laughed at himself: "Forget it, why tell you this. You don't understand."
"I know."
Qiu Qiu sat up straight and put his hands on his knees.
He said: "I am also greedy. For me, eating is not the most important thing."
Qiu Qiu was a little embarrassed: "Besides eating, I also want to not be lonely."
Zhong Yu was stunned.
"In the abyss, I haven't eaten for more than 100 years. Although I am very hungry, the stones still float and the blood pool moves. I am afraid that if I eat them, I will be even more lonely." Qiu Qiu said.
"I hate being lonely more than being hungry."
"That's why I didn't eat you, nor did I eat other humans." Qiu Qiu said shyly, "You make me not feel lonely anymore."
The doormat doesn't like to be angry, once the grievance breaks out, it will be out of control.
A quarter of an hour had passed when she finally calmed down after she finished cursing vaguely about the eighteen generations of ancestors of this store.She rubbed her eyes and raised her head, suddenly froze in fright.
In a door not far ahead, many people were looking at her.
"..." Lu Wen hiccupped in shock, and quickly covered her flushed face.
As long as I don't see it, the world doesn't exist.
The master spoke, and the head of the news agency came out, and finally persuaded her to enter the banquet hall with good words.Lu Wen wiped her face clean, and chatted with Master Wang Wu tremblingly.
Wang Wu hadn't been this angry for a long time.
He even began to doubt his proud profession as he listened to the young girl's account of the day.
As a four-star reviewer, wherever he goes, he must come into contact with delicious food made by the chefs with all their painstaking efforts.
But can the delicacies he praised casually be eaten by ordinary diners?
The answer is obviously no.
Lu Wen talked about many comments she saw on review sites, heartfelt praise from diners, handwritten blessings to the restaurant, warm and moving food stories...
Everything is like a wonderful dream carefully woven, and the viewers are all addicted.
"There are almost no bad reviews on the website. As long as you search, the first restaurant of its kind must be Mengli Township, and there is no way to compare the next few." Lu Wen smiled bitterly: "Why is this so? I looked at the pictures posted by others, and there was no Boiled lion head, no burnt vermicelli... Is my luck particularly bad?"
It is true that personal experience cannot be used as evidence of whether a restaurant is qualified.Lu Wen was soft-spoken and didn't think about what to fight for.
She was even prepared to be drowned in praise even if she made a sound.
After hearing this, Master Wang Wu remained silent for a long time, and said in a deep voice for a while, "You write the comment, and I will post it for you."
Lu Wen was taken aback.
"Every diner's voice deserves to be heard." Wang Wu straightened his back and looked majestic: "No matter how this restaurant is usually, today it is an indisputable fact that its management is chaotic and it is extremely irresponsible for the dishes. Such a situation occurs , Exposure can sound a wake-up call for them.”
As Wang Wu said, his expression could not hide his disappointment: "Afterwards, the restaurant will definitely conduct self-examination, pursue accountability, and rectify... This is a good thing."
The master speaks, speaking speed, pronunciation, are comfortable and calm.
Everyone was listening intently, Jiang Li made an excuse to go to the bathroom and left the small hall, almost no one paid extra attention to her.
After going out the door, Jiang Li looked left and right, gradually accelerated his pace, changed from walking to trotting, and rushed downstairs all the way.
The lobby on the first floor is full of people, and the waiters are like fish swimming in the gaps, filling up the space with the diners.
Jiang Li was walking very fast, and suddenly bumped into a waiter, almost spilling the wine in his hand.
"Sorry." He said coldly.
The waiter lowered his head and shook his head vigorously.
Jiang Li's polite words were purely to get away as soon as possible. Seeing that this person was not entangled, he didn't want to say any more. He hurried through the entire hall, pushed open the door that said "customers stop", and entered the back kitchen of Mengli Township.
The previous chef is in the small kitchen in the third district.
He wiped off his usual knives one by one, stuffed them into the storage cabinet, and moved slowly... Suddenly there was a gust of wind ahead, and Jiang Li broke in.
"Tao Changrong!" Jiang Li suppressed his voice and said angrily, "Why don't you read the news!"
The only remaining apprentice in the small kitchen trembled in fright, put down the sanitary utensils and slipped out.
So far, there are only two people left in the space.
"What news?" The chef raised his eyelids.
Jiang Li took a deep breath, with dark clouds on his face: "You screwed up today, do you know!? After you left, a little girl ran outside our door crying! She said that the food in the store today was unpalatable, and there are photos To prove it, the master is going to be mad!"
Jiang Li said, turned around in a circle, and said anxiously: "What a coincidence, what a coincidence."
The chef was a little surprised, and frowned: "And then."
"Then, oh, then... The master said that we didn't care about the feelings of ordinary diners, and we had to vent our anger on that girl. He asked the girl to write a bad review for him, and he sent it. Isn't this the end of it!" Jiang Li said angrily: " How did you do it!"
"What the hell is going on."
After the chef finished speaking, he picked up another knife and covered it with dry absorbent paper.
His voice was cold: "Apologize, pay compensation, explain the staff's mistakes, fire, promise to strengthen management in the future... These are all things we are used to, and we have someone to take care of them. What are you in a hurry for?"
"..."
Jiang Li felt his breath stuck in his throat, and his body felt chills.
He looked at Tao Changrong.
The well-reviewed chef stretched his eyebrows and relaxed his posture, slowly wiping his knife.
There was no pause in the movement, both calm and elegant.
For such a big matter, in his eyes, it seemed that even a second of panic was not worth it.
As the contact person of the food review agency, Jiang Li came to Weiyan District and got acquainted with Tao Changrong in just over a month.
Every time I deal with this person, I will have some incredible feelings.
His chest was tight, and his heart was sinking gradually.
Some thoughts were tumbling and tossing violently in my mind, and finally tore a hole in my reason——
"That little assistant of the news agency," Jiang Li's voice was almost squeezed out of his throat: "... Did you report it to the higher authorities?"
Jiang Li had wanted to ask this question for a long time.
A few days ago, the Daily Weiyan News Agency came to Mengli Township to do a program, and the female host's assistant strayed into the back kitchen.
The unlucky assistant accidentally ran into the scene where Jiang Li was talking to Tao Changrong, and when he wanted to leave, he smashed a plate in a panic.
The noise alarmed Jiang Li and the chef.
The cowardly little assistant was caught on the spot, and was terribly cowardly. He immediately swore that he hadn't heard anything, and even took the initiative to hand over the terminal to them for inspection.
At that time, Jiang Li was not very worried.
It is difficult for people in the industry to understand their dialogue, let alone understand the shady tricks in it.
In addition, after checking the little assistant's terminal, there was no video or anything, so Jiang Li decided to let him go.
Tao Changrong also nodded at that time.
But Jiang Li never expected that after only one day, he was called to the tea room by the administrator, and he also learned that the little assistant was seriously injured.
Is it really an accident?Or did someone make a move?
If it was just an accident, the administrator of Weiyan District would interrogate so many people with great fanfare?
Other than him, the only person who knew about the little assistant was Chef Tao Changrong.
Did Tao Rongchang report to the higher authorities?
...that is a life!
Jiang Li is a person with a low sense of morality, willing to do anything for money.
But even so, he never thought that the bad things he did would be related to life and death.
He kept brainwashing himself, saying it was an accident, it was an accident, and he didn't know anything... But at this moment, facing Tao Changrong who was acting as if nothing had happened, he suddenly couldn't suppress his doubts anymore.
He was terrified.
"What are you talking about?" the chef said, without even looking at Jiang Li, he packed his things by himself: "What's up, what's the report?"
Jiang Li didn't feel comforted, his lower lip trembled, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.
Such a calm reaction confirmed his guess in a sense. He was dizzy for a while, shook his head, and then propped up the operating table sideways to prevent himself from losing his composure and falling.
At this moment, Jiang Li suddenly saw a shadow cast obliquely on the ground outside the curtain, like a squatting figure.
Someone is outside.
He broke out in a cold sweat instantly.
The cold and sticky feeling crawled all over the back, gathered into drops of water, and flowed to the waist.Jiang Li didn't dare to turn his head, for fear of being discovered by the chef.
Yu Guang stared at the shadow, wanting to confirm that it was not his illusion.
After a while, the shadow moved, and the place where the suspected head seemed to have turned at an angle, and a small sharp corner appeared.
...is that a braid?
Jiang Li suddenly remembered the waiter he bumped into earlier, even though he lowered his head, his figure was still very familiar.It's just that he was in a hurry to find Tao Changrong just now, so he didn't think about it.
Bai Xiaoxu.That's Bai Xiaoxu!
"Fuck!" Jiang Li slapped the console, and at the same time took a step towards the door curtain, pretending to be furious: "You've been acting weird all day long, and you don't know what to do if something happens! It's not your responsibility to mess up the banquet." Is it wrong!?"
Jiang Li squeezed his sticky palms: "It's not only your business that's affected, but also the reputation of our food review agency!"
The chef frowned slightly, as if he didn't like the way he was making such a scene, and said coldly, "It's not your turn to take care of me."
After that, he bent down and put the knife box into the cabinet.
"Are you leaving now!?" Jiang Li said loudly, even breaking his voice.
"It's all said," the chef seemed to be bored at last: "You can't control me."
The conversation came to an end.
The chef pushed Jiang Li away, raised the curtain, and walked away.
Da da da.
The footsteps gradually receded, and then disappeared completely.Jiang Li finally heard his own heartbeat that coincided with it.
It's as heavy as a drum beating in your ears.
He gasped hard, again and again.
After a while, he walked out of the small kitchen, kicked the cardboard boxes piled up by the door, and picked out a person from the falling ingredients and sundries.
"Bai! Xiao! Xu!" Jiang Li pushed the person against the wall and roared, "You fucking die!? What are you doing here? What did you see? Ah!??"
Bai Xiaoxu was caught suddenly, he was already terrified, and Jiang Li strangled his neck, so he rolled his eyes and instinctively pushed Jiang Li's hand.
It took a long time before the hand let go.
Fresh air poured in, and Bai Xiaoxu bent over and coughed violently. Before he could catch his breath, Jiang Li dragged him by the back collar to the small kitchen, his legs kicking feebly on the ground, like a poor chicken cub.
The small kitchen was not monitored, Bai Xiaoxu was thrown on the ground by Jiang Li, and instinctively crawled back two steps until his back leaned against the wall.
Both of them panted for a while, Bai Xiaoxu raised his head, and saw a pale light falling from above his head, illuminating Jiang Li like a ghost.
"Take it out." Jiang Li's face was livid.
With red eyes, Bai Xiaoxu struggled for a while, and took out a pen cap-sized video device from his trouser pocket.
Trembling and handing it over.
Jiang Li also shook his hands and stuck the pen cap on the terminal.
Ten seconds later, he clicked on the video, which was recorded when he entered the small kitchen, recording the complete conversation with chef Tao Rongchang.
After Jiang Li finished watching, he pressed the correct button several times, deleted the video, and then threw the pen cap on the ground and crushed it with his foot.
"Bai Xiaoxu, you are really capable." Jiang Li was still in shock, but at the same time he was full of hatred: "What good do you get for doing this kind of thing!? Are you crazy to keep Samsung? Dream it!"
Bai Xiaoxu: "..."
"Die faster!" Jiang Li's eyes were bloodshot, and the blood was woven into a spider web, staring at Bai Xiaoxu: "You die faster like this, do you know!?"
"...So what." Bai Xiaoxu panted for a while, then patted his buttocks to get up.
"Fuck!" Jiang Li pointed at him: "A commentator! If you're not in the right place, then you're inappropriate. How can you die!? Life matters!?"
As he spoke, Jiang Li caught Bai Xiaoxu's gaze unexpectedly.
Indifference and disgust, like ice water to quench anger.
The air freezes.
After a while, Jiang Li spoke with a hoarse voice.
"You can't intervene in this matter." He said slowly: "In the entire Weiyan District, even in the capital, you can't find anyone who can intervene. Whoever touches it will die."
He hid his red eyes in the shadow of his forehead, and paused: "Now, get out before I change my mind."
Bai Xiaoxu glanced at him vigilantly, turned around with his mouth pursed.
First walk a few steps, then trot, and finally run wildly.
The golden corridor of Mengli Township is full of carp reliefs, and when they run quickly, the fish swim as if they come alive.
The surrounding scenery was grotesque and absurd, and Bai Xiaoxu's head became dizzy due to lack of oxygen.
He didn't dare to stop a step, he went up to the third floor along the deserted place, ran into a toilet at the corner, and locked the door.
There is another piece of video equipment, hidden by Bai Xiaoxu in the pocket of his close-fitting T-shirt, which is now tightly attached to his chest.
He can't bet on Jiang Li's conscience, he has to run away.
to escape.
Bai Xiaoxu supported the toilet door and breathed heavily to relieve the powerlessness brought by the lack of oxygen.About 2 minutes later, someone seemed to be approaching from outside the corridor.
He didn't dare to go out again, straightened up, and looked at the only window.
The third floor is not high, so he climbed down, Bai Xiaoxu clenched his fists to encourage himself.
There are neon lights flickering in the field of vision, reflecting bright blue or purple colors, and suddenly a spot of light focuses and hits the glass with a snap.
It is a drop of water.
It seems to be raining.
-
"It's raining!" Downstairs, a young recorder complained to the terminal: "Damn, I'm not wearing a waterproof jacket, Qingqing, come and change shifts with me earlier."
After the news was sent out, the recorder looked at the silent boss beside him, and poked him: "Brother Ahu, it's raining."
Ah Hu looked blankly at the dust in the air as if he had never heard of it.
The two are routinely staying at the side gate of Mengli Township.
This is a dark narrow street, full of debris, not to mention vehicles, there are not many pedestrians.Except for the neon lights cast diagonally across, there was nothing but boredom.
The fine rain fell, soon soaking Ah Hu's short hair.
He sighed brightly and sadly.
The recorder patted him on the shoulder very sympathetically: "Brother Ah Hu, don't be sad. Isn't it just a lovelorn? You have lost so many times, and you haven't gotten used to it yet."
Ah Hu: "..."
Ah Hu sighed again: "If you are ugly, is it doomed not to have love for the rest of your life? The day before Xiaohui broke up with me, she sent me a message at three o'clock at night, saying that she made a wish and dreamed of me before going to bed, but it turned out that she really did. It's a nightmare. Woo."
The recorder put his hand on his forehead to keep out the rain without saying a word: "No, Brother Ahu, all you like are pretty girls. Don't pretty girls like handsome guys? Even if you think you're not bad at first, you'll be there later." Maybe you accidentally see the captain, or worse, see [-], or even see sister Jin sometimes, then..."
"It's over." Ah Hu nodded: "I understand. By the way, why did the post I posted on the Internet last time Captain Hei disappeared?"
Recorder:"……"
Ah Hu clicked on the terminal and was about to check the deleted post records when he suddenly heard a noise above his head.
He calmed down in an instant, pressed the bracelet off, stepped back into the shadow of the debris pile with the recorder, and looked up.
On the third floor of Mengli Township, a foot appeared on the window frame.
Then, a young beauty climbed out of the window.
Ah Hu: "..."
She is thin and thin, with a wide white shirt, and her half-length hair is blown messily on her face by the wind, making her skin paler.
She was probably in some trouble, she was about to climb down from the window, and she was struggling, and when she looked down, she revealed one eye, which was full of clear panic, with a pale fragility and ready to cry. is on.
Ah, she is so beautiful.
The ethereal melody of old songs came from the opposite street, the rhythm was shaking, and the husky male voice hummed affectionately.
In Ah Hu's eyes, the world is playing in slow motion at 0.1x speed.
The beauty is in a hurry.The beauty climbed down half a meter.Beauty missed.The beauty screamed.The beauty fell straight down.
This may be called the encounter of fate.
"Only you~ can make this world seem right..."
Ah Hu rushed out and stretched out his arms.
"Only you~ can make the darkness bright..."
The beauty fell into her arms.
Ah Hu's heart was beating extremely fast, holding the beautiful woman was like holding his hard-won love.
"My God," he murmured, "I'm in love."
-
An hour later, Zhong Yu and Qiu Qiu rushed to the tea room. As soon as the door opened, they saw a tiger sitting on the stool, looking downcast, like a gray cracked stone statue.
"What's the matter?" Zhong Yu frowned.
"Uh, I lost my relationship again." A recorder said.
Ah Hu fell in love more than fifty times a year, Zhong Yu took it easy and took off his wet coat: "How is Bai Xiaoxu?"
"Fall asleep in the lounge," said the recorder.
Bai Xiaoxu fell down a building, and just fell into the arms of the recorder, and was taken to the tea room by the express train.
He recovered and insisted that he was so drunk and delirious that he mistook the window for a door.The management office gave him an alcohol test, and it was true that he had drunk, so he provided him with a sofa and asked him to wake up and go home.
Poor Ah Hu found out that his love was a man within an hour, and even jumped off the building drunk, his heart was broken and he fell out of love again.
"Captain." Ah Hu moved his body slowly, lost his mind and said, "I'll leave now that you're here."
It was rare for Zhong Yu to be a human being, so he suppressed the ridicule and waved him off work.
Ah Hu floated out faintly.
Qiu Qiu went into the lounge alone to visit Bai Xiaoxu, and came out after a while with light steps.
"He fell asleep." Qiu Qiu said, "I put Master Wang Wu's pen by his hand."
"Remember to leave a message for him, don't throw it away when you wake up." Zhong Yu said, took out a dry towel from the cabinet, and threw it at Qiu Qiu, just covering his face.
Qiu Qiu hummed, tore off the towel, and put it on his rain-drenched hair.
It was almost eleven o'clock, and there was no sound in the building, and most of the lights were turned off.The corridor was dark, making the natural light in the tea room slightly yellow.
The sound of rain hitting the window reminded Qiu Qiu of No. 0 Tengluo Street with a table of scrambled eggs. Zhong Yu was standing not far away looking through paper documents, which made this strange space not so strange.
Qiu Qiu wiped his hair, thinking: "Why is Xiaobai also in Mengli Township, and fell downstairs. Ask him and don't say anything."
"It's quite a coincidence." Zhong Yu read the document quickly, threw it away, and said casually: "Everywhere accidents happen, he has happened. I have met him several times, and he is quite good at making excuses."
Qiu Qiu was a little surprised: "What happened?"
Zhong Yu frowned, leaned against the cabinet door, and introduced Liu Feifei's seriously injured assistant Xiao Wang.
"Then is he awake now?" Qiu Qiu asked.
"No," Zhong Yu lowered his eyes: "Holding his breath, he has not been in danger until now. At most one more month, if he can't make it through, he will die."
Qiu Qiu was stunned for a while, then comforted Zhong Yu and said, "Don't worry, Xiaobai is carrying my pendant, I will know if I am in danger."
Zhong Yu stared at him for a few seconds.
Then he smiled and pulled the towel away: "Okay, you protect him."
Qiu Qiu nodded seriously.
Drunk people need some hangover soup, that's what the sister recorder who stayed here on duty thought so.She had everything ready, but she was called away by an emergency contact, and the messy ingredients were scattered on the table in the tea room.
Zhong Yu originally planned to go in to get a glass of water, but when he saw the mess, he paused.
Qiu Qiu, who was behind him, really had a keen sense of smell, and stuck his head out from his shoulder without being absent: "What is this?"
"Do you want to drink hangover soup too?" Zhong Yu questioned casually, but he had already started to take over half of the work done by the recorder.
There is no precise way to make this kind of food, as long as it can relieve the hangover, it can be made into any kind.
The recorder's sister obviously has a unique insight into this - on the table are two half-cut tomatoes, a piece of ginger that has been crushed, a bag of brown sugar, and a bucket of instant noodles with the lid off.
Because there is no knife or chopping board in the tea room, the two tomatoes were cut on the cardboard with a knife.
It is simply a tactical intention that is difficult for ordinary people to understand.
Although there are kitchen utensils in the pantry, they are usually not used, not even a jar of salt.
Captain Zhong, who was at the pinnacle of culinary skills, thought for a moment, put the instant noodle seasoning packet aside, found a small ashes-covered saucepan, filled it with boiling water, and threw some broken noodles into it.
Qiu Qiu swallowed hard: "It smells so good."
"It's delicious again?" Zhong Yu pushed him back: "It's been a night, haven't you had enough?"
"You are more fragrant." Qiu Qiu said.
Zhong Yu automatically completed the sexually harassing words, thinking that Qiu Qiu had missed a "of", and didn't think about the truth at all.
The tea room was too small, and he couldn't move freely, and it was even more inconvenient to hang Qiu Qiu, so he asked someone to find two bags of instant chicken breasts in the refrigerator.
"Wen Jin stocked it, you look through it, there must be one, black packaging."
Qiu Qiu obediently turned the chicken breast out, and was ordered to sit outside again, tearing the meat into chicken shreds.
This job was really torturing the slime. Fortunately, Zhong Yu quickly washed his hands, left the small pot still bubbling, and sat across from him to tear it up together.
"It's so pitiful." Qiu Qiu was wrapped in the fragrance, feeling happy while remembering the poor children: "Lu Wen was hungry all night...but why?"
"what why?"
"Why doesn't Mengli Township treat the guests well? It makes bad food and cheats people to make Lu Wen so hungry." Qiu Qiu said.
This question was so easy to answer, Zhong Yu didn't even raise his head: "For money."
"Ah." Qiu Qiu looked at him.
"Do you know how much money such a store can make?"
Zhong Yu lazily said: "Ordinary restaurants, no matter how good the business is, they will not be overloaded like Mengyu Village. Most of them are full at the meal time, and empty after the peak period."
He finished tearing the ones in his hand, and brought over the chicken breast that Qiu Qiu slowly finished tearing up: "But this fishing village is different, relying on publicity, it has always been full of seats from the opening to closing. Compared with similar restaurants, He can make three to five times or even more profits, which is astronomical."
As he said that, Zhong Yu laughed and said, "Let's not even mention the comparison with your little run-down shop... at least tens of thousands of times."
Qiu Qiu didn't take it seriously, and said strangely: "Human beings can't eat much, so what do you need so much money for?"
Zhong Yu restrained his expression, picked up the lunch box and stood up, rubbing the chair against the ground, making a harsh long sound.
"Do anything," he said.
The minced noodles in the pot had been boiled into batter, Zhong Yu added the mashed tomatoes, ginger, brown sugar and let it continue to roll.
Then set up another pot, cook the remaining noodles quickly, put them in cold water, put them in a lunch box, and spread the freshly torn chicken shreds.
The instant noodles are Chinese-style, known as non-fried, and there are three packs of seasonings inside. Zhong Yu has torn open and tasted them before, and the taste is very authentic.
He poured half a bag of soy sauce into the tomato pot to use as salt, and poured the rest on the shredded chicken with red chili pepper and balsamic vinegar.
The tomato soup in the pot was also cooked, Zhong Yu directly poured half of it into the instant noodle bucket, and asked Qiu Qiu to bring it out.
Although the simple cold noodles with shredded chicken and the "tomato-flavored" hangover soup were served casually, Qiu Qiu still felt that they were [-] times more delicious than the exquisite dishes served at the banquet.
The bright red oil is poured over the snow-white shredded chicken and cold noodles, and the aroma of the pasta is infiltrated by the spicy and fresh wrapping, which is sour and attractive.
The tomato puree is hot, the steam coming from the face is fresh and sweet, and the thick texture is very satisfying.
Zhong Yu watched Qiu Qiuniu chewing peonies, and got used to it to some extent, and stopped moving after two sips of soup.
Qiu Qiu swept away the cold noodles, leaving two chicken shreds as usual, and asked the guardian if he wanted to eat.
Unexpectedly, Zhong Yu was more interested today, facing Qiu Qiu's surprised and disappointed eyes, he slowly put the two pieces of chicken shreds that were not as thick as chopsticks into his mouth.
Qiu Qiu murmured, "Human beings don't eat much, don't they want money more?"
"Well," Zhong Yu raised his eyebrows: "Yes, human beings are greedy, and their desires will expand. So you need money and you need to eat, there is no conflict."
Qiu Qiu: "..."
"Money can do anything, and for money, many people can do anything." Zhong Yu restrained his expression: "Don't underestimate human beings, they don't have a big appetite, they are greedy, their wants are endless... Unlike you, There is only one food in the world."
After all, Zhong Yu laughed at himself: "Forget it, why tell you this. You don't understand."
"I know."
Qiu Qiu sat up straight and put his hands on his knees.
He said: "I am also greedy. For me, eating is not the most important thing."
Qiu Qiu was a little embarrassed: "Besides eating, I also want to not be lonely."
Zhong Yu was stunned.
"In the abyss, I haven't eaten for more than 100 years. Although I am very hungry, the stones still float and the blood pool moves. I am afraid that if I eat them, I will be even more lonely." Qiu Qiu said.
"I hate being lonely more than being hungry."
"That's why I didn't eat you, nor did I eat other humans." Qiu Qiu said shyly, "You make me not feel lonely anymore."
