Chapter 34 Stealing Beams and Changing Pillars
Kong Xiuming stepped forward, took the ingredients in Zhu Nian's hand and observed them carefully, and soon his face changed greatly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"This!" Kong Xiuming was speechless for a while.
"Master Kong, can you tell me what's going on?" Zhu Nian said faintly.
Kong Xiuming looked at all the ingredients in disbelief and found that none of them were of the best quality.
"Miss, what's going on?" Kong Xiuming asked.
"You ask me?" Zhu Nian asked rhetorically.
"Impossible, the ingredients used in our Tianxiang Pavilion are all first-class goods, absolutely fresh, how can they become such inferior products now?" Kong Xiuming was dumbfounded.
"So you mean, you don't know about this matter?" Zhu Nian stared at Kong Xiuming tightly.
"Yes. Kong Xiuming replied, "I've been in Tianxiang Pavilion for more than ten years, this is equivalent to my home, how could I do anything to damage the reputation of Tianxiang Pavilion!"
Speaking of this, the other four cooks also replied at the same time: "Miss, we really don't know!"
Zhu Nian's eyes swept over the faces of the five cooks one by one, wanting to find something abnormal: "The truth of the matter is not what you say. Since you all say you don't know, I'll have to check it out for myself. ”
Zhu Nian slowly walked up to Ling Wu, stared at him tightly and said, "If you let me find out that any of you have told a lie, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"Yes. The five of them spoke in unison.
"Master Kong, let me ask you, who is responsible for purchasing the ingredients in our Tianxiang Pavilion on weekdays?" Zhu Nian asked again.
"Miss Hui, the purchase of ingredients has always been the responsibility of the shopkeeper Meng. Kong Xiuming replied.
"yes, I see. After speaking, Zhu Nian said something more, and walked directly towards the door with the red candle.
Zhu Nian planned to go to Uncle Meng again to ask about the situation, and when she walked to the door, she glanced back at the little chef again.
Ling Wu didn't expect Zhu Nian to turn back again, he was originally peeking at Zhu Nian behind Kong Xiuming, but when he saw Zhu Nian looking at him, he quickly lowered his head again, looking very weak.
Zhu Nian smiled contemptuously, then turned to look at Kong Xiuming.
"Master Kong!" Zhu Nian said, "You are the head chef, no matter who stole the ingredients of our Tianxiang Pavilion, you didn't find out in time for such a big thing, then you will be to blame!"
"Yes, eldest miss, Xiu Ming is willing to be punished. Kong Xiuming clasped his hands together and gestured towards Zhu.
"For the sake of your dedication to Tianxiang Pavilion for so many years, you will only be exempted from your monthly money for one month, and this will never happen again in the future!" Zhu Nian said.
"Miss Xie. ”
Zhu Nian glanced at Ling Wu, who had been keeping his head down, and then strode out of the back kitchen.
Zhu Nian came to the hall again, and Uncle Meng had already returned to the counter to guard, but what he was doing now was to re-check the previous ledger.
"Uncle Meng!" Zhu Nian walked to the counter.
"Miss. Uncle Meng raised his head to look at Zhu Nian, and then asked, "Have you found out anything wrong?"
"Hmm. Zhu Nian replied, "I found out that the ingredients used in Tianxiang Pavilion have been secretly changed recently, and they have been replaced with very poor inferior products. ”
"What?" Uncle Meng was surprised.
"Uncle Meng, I heard Master Kong say that you are responsible for the procurement affairs of our Tianxiang Pavilion, right?" Zhu Nian asked again.
"Exactly. Uncle Meng lowered his head and replied.
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he suddenly raised his head and said, "Miss, I think there is something I have to report to you!"
"Huh?" Zhu Nian was puzzled and motioned for Uncle Meng to continue.
"Hey, speaking of which, this is also my negligence, not telling Miss in time. Uncle Meng lowered his head in shame, and then said: "The matter of purchasing ingredients was indeed my sole responsibility in the past, but recently it has been ......."
"How's it going?" Zhu Nian felt that this was the problem.
"At the beginning of last month, Dow came to me once, saying that I was too old to bear to let me manage too many things, and it happened that her distant nephew was also in Tianxiang Pavilion, so Dow wanted me to give her nephew a chance to exercise him. ”
"Distant nephew?"
