I rely on food to dominate the two worlds

"Chef, I'm taking a rest tomorrow. I want to go home, and the store will trouble you." Tang Qian said to Tang Shaoyan after finishing his day's work.

"No problem, it's time for you to take a good rest." Tang Shaoyan readily agreed.

Different from the modern two-day work system, people in ancient times rarely had time to rest. Like the Tang family, it is very kind to give a rest every ten days and a half a month, and most of them are all year round. People who are constantly busy.

After packing up the kitchen, Tang Qian left the Tang family's restaurant and prepared to take the Tang family's own carriage home, but who knew that the wheel of the carriage was cracked, so he had to go to the post station in Lingfeng City and rent a carriage went home.

The next day's kitchen lacked Tang Qian, and Tang Shaoyan's pressure was a lot greater. Both Tang Liujing and Tang Yu were only monks in the body training stage. In addition to making soup and medicine, it also takes a lot of effort to make the spiritual meal, and it is almost too busy to touch the ground in a day.

"It's really impossible without Brother Qian." Now the business of Tang's restaurant is getting better and better, and the workload of the whole day is quite astonishing. Tang Liujing and Tang Yu are too tired to lift their hands now. .

"I'll talk to Manager Zhang at night, and ask him to arrange another spirit servant to come over. Xiaojing and Xiaoyu, hurry up and practice. When you break through to the Qi refining stage, you will be able to become spirit chefs like Brother Qian. In the future, when you take turns to rest and take a bath, you won't be so busy." Tang Shaoyan said to Tang Liujing and Tang Yu with a smile.

"We will work hard!" Tang Liujing and Tang Yu replied in unison.

"Well, go back and have a good rest."

But no one could have imagined that Tang Qian's ordinary rest this time would trigger a series of events that followed.

Tang Qian of Xiumu was supposed to return to the restaurant that night, but shopkeeper Li waited and waited until the restaurant sealed the door and locked the key, but Tang Qian still didn't come back.Shopkeeper Li thought that Tang Qian was in an emergency at home and couldn't make it back today.

But the next morning, all the restaurants were open, and before Tang Qian came back, shopkeeper Li felt something was wrong.

Tang Qian is a member of the Tang family. His parents and elders all live in the Tang family manor, so for Tang Qian, returning home is actually going back to the Tang family.Tang Qian has always been a person who knows how to measure and abides by the rules. If he fails to return after the deadline, he is absent from work. Even if he is a member of the Tang family, he still needs to be punished.If something really happened to his family and he really couldn't get away and couldn't come back, he would definitely go to the manager Zhang who was also in the Tang family to ask for leave. Notes, after all, have to communicate with the restaurant side, it is certainly impossible to just leave work quietly like this.

Tang Shaoyan felt something was wrong when he went to the back kitchen and didn't see Tang Qian, so he asked Tang Liujing to come to the front to ask, but the result was that Tang Qian hadn't come back.

"Why don't you use the sound transmission talisman to ask Guanshi Zhang?" Tang Liujing knew that for the convenience of the Tang family's contact with the restaurant, shopkeeper Li and Guanshi Zhang kept a lot of sound transmission talismans with the imprint of the other party's spiritual consciousness.

"Okay." Shopkeeper Li was about to get the sound transmission talisman when he saw Zhang Xun walking in from the door.

"Guard Zhang!" Tang Liujing looked at Zhang Xun in surprise.

"Liu Jing? Why did you come to the front? What's the matter?" Zhang Xun was also very surprised to see that Tang Liujing was not staying in the back kitchen.

"Guard Zhang, are you here for Tang Qian's business?" Tang Liujing asked directly, ignoring other things.

"Huh? What's the matter with Tang Qian?" Zhang Xun asked puzzledly, "I'm here to find Shaoyan. He asked Shopkeeper Li to tell me yesterday that he wanted to add another spirit attendant, so I brought the list. , let him pick and choose.”

Now Tang Shaoyan's status in the Tang family is not what it used to be. In the past, they could directly call the shots and transfer a few people here at will, but now that Tang Shaoyan has become the general manager of the Tang family restaurant, the transfer of personnel naturally needs his approval. And as a helper in the kitchen, the Lingshi should of course be used by Tang Shaoyan smoothly.

"Tang Qian took a rest yesterday and went back the night before yesterday. Logically, he should have come back last night, but he hasn't seen anyone so far. I just wanted to send you a voice transmission and ask what's going on." Shopkeeper Li saw Zhang Xun didn't come here because of Tang Qian's affairs, and the bad feeling in his heart became more and more serious.

"Ah? He didn't go back!" Zhang Xun is the chief steward of the Tang family. Everyone in the Tang family will report to him every detail, especially the entry and exit records of the Tang family. If he goes back, Zhang Xun will definitely know Yes, but the problem is that Zhang Xun didn't see his name on the record at all.

Zhang Xun deserved to be the chief steward of the Tang family. He had already realized the seriousness of the problem, and immediately asked, "Who drove Tang Qian home the night before yesterday?"

"It was supposed to be Tang Er's boy, but the wheel suddenly cracked, so he had to go to the car dealership to repair the car, so Tang Qian went to the post station to rent a car and go back." Shopkeeper Li replied.

"You stay in the restaurant, I'll go to the station to ask for clarification!"

"it is good!"

Zhang Xun immediately got into the carriage and rushed to the post station as fast as possible.

There are a large number of carriages parked at the entrance of the post station, and coachmen with different appearances gather at the entrance to rest, waiting for the guests to come to the door.

As soon as he entered the post station, Zhang Xun didn't have any nonsense, and directly took out the ID card representing the Tang family, and asked the shopkeeper of the post station, "Did someone named Tang Qian come to your shop to rent a carriage the night before yesterday?"

The shopkeeper immediately looked through the account books, and quickly found the record, "There is indeed such a person, because he is close, so only one low-grade spirit stone was charged to him."

"What about that person?"

"Person? The car will come back after the person is delivered to the place." The shopkeeper replied a little confused.

"Who is responsible for driving the car?" It is impossible for the post station to let the guests drive back by themselves. What is going on, the person who drives the car knows best.

"Let me take a look." The shopkeeper quickly flipped through the account books, and quickly found the corresponding person, "It's Li Ergou, he should be at the door."

Zhang Xun immediately walked to the door and asked loudly, "Who is Li Ergou?"

As soon as the words fell, among the many people resting at the gate of the post station, there was a dark-skinned, thin man who turned around and ran away.

"Grab him!" Zhang Xun said through gritted teeth.

The two guards behind Zhang Xun immediately stepped forward, and arrested the thin man in two or three strokes.

"You are Li Ergou?" Zhang Xun asked coldly.

"You, why are you arresting me?! This is Lingfeng City, and it's not a place where you can do it! If you don't let me go! I'll call the city guards over!" Li Ergou said sternly.

Hearing this, Zhang Xun smiled instead of anger, "Okay, you can call, call the city guards over, I just want to ask the city guards for help, to find the missing spirit chef of our Tang family!"

"Spiritual chef?! What spiritual chef? Isn't that kid a spiritual servant?!" Li Ergou's expression changed when he heard that the missing Tang family was a spiritual chef. If a spiritual servant was lost, He just offended the Tang family, but if he was replaced by a spirit chef, he would offend the entire spirit chef alliance, and the consequences were beyond what a small coachman could bear.

"Oh, it seems that you know this matter well?" Zhang Xun sneered.

Zhang Xun deliberately did not explain that Tang Qian was not actually the work of Ling Chef, but just to defraud this Li Ergou.Although Tang Qian has not obtained the qualifications of a formal spiritual chef, he has already reached the stage of refining Qi and has been carefully taught by Tang Shaoyan. It can be said that the next spiritual chef assessment is a sure thing, and it is not a big deal to talk about it. of.

Li Ergou was really frightened, his whole body trembled like chaff.

"Li Ergou! What good deed have you done?!" The shopkeeper of the inn hadn't figured out what was going on before, but now that he understood a little bit, he couldn't help asking sharply.

"I...I..." Li Ergou had no choice but to confess honestly at this time, "I don't know, I picked up that guest yesterday, but before I got in the car, someone stopped me, He gave me a bag of Lingshi and said he would borrow my car, so I, I lent him the car."

"What?! You forgot all the rules of the inn?!" Hearing the words, the shopkeeper of the inn suddenly became angry, and could only say to Zhang Xun with a bitter face, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I really don't know about this matter. Ah! Just take this kid away, we can't keep such a person in our station!"

Hundreds of customers come and go to the post station every day, so the post station also reserves hundreds of carriages and horses, and also needs so many coachmen. Because of the shortage of manpower, most of the coachmen are hired from outside.Although the post station has strict rules, there are always a few crooked things, and that Li Ergou is obviously one of them.

"Thank you." Zhang Xun nodded towards the shopkeeper of the post station, and then told the two guards, "Go, go to the city guard!"

The matter is now very clear. Someone deliberately targeted the Tang family and took advantage of the inn's omissions to arrest Tang Qian, and he already had guesses about the person behind the scenes.It's just that in the absence of evidence, he has nothing to do with the Wang family. Only through the city guard can he find Tang Qian as quickly as possible.

Xuantianzong is no idiot. Although what Li Ergou said is not clear, he has met the person who captured Tang Qian. They can let Li Ergou tell the person's appearance If you describe it, no matter how bad it is, can't you still search for souls?As long as he finds out that person, he can follow the clues to find the Wang family.

The loss of a deputy chef in a restaurant is not a joke. I believe the city guards will definitely deal with this matter seriously.Although Tang Qian is not yet an official spiritual chef, his strength has fully reached the level of a first-grade spiritual chef. Tang Shaoyan had already discussed with him that Tang Qian should be the deputy chef.

"Let someone go to Wang's restaurant to inquire again, and see if Wang Xu and Cui Hong have seen anything unusual in the past two days." But when he took Li Ergou to the city guard, Zhang Xun asked another guard. commanded.

Although he has great trust in the efficiency of the city guard team, it cannot be ruled out that the other party disguises himself or uses other methods to evade investigation. He always has to make second-hand preparations. Anyway, he has already determined in his heart that this matter is the Wang family. Move your hands.
