Chapter 42: The Puffer Fish Incident
Feeling Yan Shu's lost feelings, Chen Chen couldn't refuse the same person repeatedly, so he agreed. Compared with before, this time it was even more embarrassing, fortunately, Secretary Chen also went downstairs to eat, and accidentally ran into the elevator with only the two of them.
"Ah, why did Chef Chen come back?" Actually, she wanted to quit, but the atmosphere was awkward enough, and it would get worse if she ran around nonsensically. After thinking for a few seconds, she still beckoned to Chen Chen lightly.
As a result, the embarrassment of the two people turned into the silence of the three people, begging for the area of the shadow in Secretary Chen's heart at this moment.
As soon as the elevator reached the first floor, Secretary Chen ran out as fast as possible, leaving Yan Shu to send Chen Chen all the way to the hotel gate, wanting to keep but not knowing how to speak, when, between them has become like this, and it takes a long time to think about a word.
Since getting out of the elevator, the fetus in the womb has been making more trouble than before, Chen Chen has been insisting, and when he arrived at the door, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of what was wrong.
Chen Chen grabbed Yan Shu and asked eagerly: "Puffer fish is not a commonly used ingredient in domestic restaurants, just now I saw that the hotel has prepared today, it must be a distinguished guest you know, you tell me quickly, which private room is the puffer fish soup delivered to?" ”
"What's wrong?" Yan Shu bowed his head slightly in confusion.
"Alas! I can't explain so much to you! After speaking, Chen Chen immediately ran back, grabbed a waiter and asked, "Do you know where today's puffer fish soup was sent?" ”
The waiter didn't react, glanced at Yan Shu reflexively, and only replied to Chen Chen after getting affirmation: "Tianhe private room on the second floor." ”
As soon as the waiter's words fell, Chen Chen immediately rushed out, ran to the second floor as fast as he could, and found the Tianhe private room, and Yan Shu followed behind him for some reason, and before he could ask him what was wrong, he saw Chen Chen rush into the private room.
Because Chen Chen suddenly broke into the private room, the VIPs were stunned, and they all stared at Chen Chen with unhappy faces.
And Chen Chen's attention was all on the soup bowl in their hands, the puffer fish soup had just been distributed, and everyone had a small bowl, most of which were still on the table, and they would drink it later. But there was one person who had already passed it to his mouth, if Chen Chen hadn't suddenly broken in, he would have drunk it at this moment.
Chen Chen's heart tightened, and he immediately ran to the man and waved it fiercely, knocking over the bowl in his hand, the heat preservation of the soup was very good, and the soup was still hot at this time, and some soup splashed on the back of Chen Chen's hand, scalding his skin red.
"What are you doing!" The soup bowl was knocked over by a man with a big belly in his forties, who also happened to be the protagonist of today's banquet. What's more, the puffer fish is already precious, and if it is scattered on the ground, he is still somewhat distressed.
The VIPs all thought that Chen Chen was very rude and accused him one after another, but Yan Shu believed Chen Chen unconditionally, and when he frowned, he knew that something might have happened.
So, Yan Shu stood up and spoke for Chen Chen: "I'm sorry everyone, please don't be impatient, I believe Chen Chen will give you an explanation, of course, today's meal will be settled by me on behalf of everyone." ”
"Hehe, who is rare for these two little money?" The big-bellied man couldn't get over his face, and said to Chen Chen, "This is the service quality of your Aisen Hotel?" Can outsiders break into private rooms at will? ”
The big-bellied man knows Yan Shu, and he usually can't get used to Yan Shu's cold appearance, but now he can just embarrass him, and his heart is quite happy.
Chen Chen had long wanted to speak to refute, but the fetus resisted so much that he didn't have the strength to speak, until he secretly wiped the soup off his hands with a tissue, the fetus's restlessness eased slightly, and he could finally think.
"Bosses, I'm really sorry that I disturbed your Yaxing, this matter is my personal doing, and it has nothing to do with Aisen." Chen Chen first took the responsibility on himself, and then explained, "I did this for a reason, there was a problem with the puffer fish soup just now, and it can't be eaten at all." ”
Anyone who has tried it a little knows that puffer fish, whether farmed at home or in the wild at sea, are highly toxic and can cause great danger if not handled properly.
The pot-bellied man was skeptical, looked down at the soup scattered on the ground, and did not speak.
Chen Chen continued: "If you don't believe me, you can have someone check it, and if I say something wrong, let you ask for it." ”
Perhaps Chen Chen's expression was too strict, but the guests all believed it, and no one raised any objections, and soon someone took away the gravel soup pot on the table. After careful inspection, the puffer fish inside found that the internal organs were not cleaned, if it was not for Chen Chen just now, the VIPs present would not even have lost their lives, and the hotel would have encountered a huge crisis.
The pot-bellied man, who had been the closest to death of all the guests just now, was still palpitating, his eyes wide open, and he looked at the remnants of juice on the ground in disbelief.
"Thanks to this little brother."
"It's just, I still have palpitations when I think about it now."
"How, how is that possible...... Mr. Yan, how do you explain this kind of thing on your turf? ”
"I'm sorry everyone, but I will investigate this matter thoroughly, and I will never let this happen again." Yan Shu solemnly apologized, he didn't expect that Chef Liu would make such a low-level mistake and almost cause a fatal accident.
If it weren't for Chen Chen...... Yan Shu didn't dare to imagine what the hotel would be like if someone died, and he was a little panicked.
Of course, the guests who were saved by Chen Chen's life stood up and thanked Chen Chen.
"How did this young man know that the puffer fish soup we drank was not cleaned?" Suddenly, one of the guests asked curiously, and everyone looked at Chen Chen, all puzzled by this question.
Chen Chen thought to himself: I can't sue you, the child in my belly feels it, and then it makes me very uncomfortable! So he stammered: "Uh...... This, this...... I just feel, hehe, it's just feeling. ”
A group of people stared at Chen Chen very curiously, hoping that he could tell a reason, only Yan Shu noticed Chen Chen's hesitation and immediately stood up to relieve him.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I think the most important thing now is not to ask him how he noticed that the puffer fish soup was poisonous, but to find out why it was poisonous." Yan Shu changed the subject.
Some guests disagreed, shouting: "This is what happened in your hotel, of course you have to ask yourself, anyway, you have to give us an explanation today, otherwise don't blame us for smashing Aisen's signboard." ”
The customer is God, Yan Shu is well aware of this, in order to stabilize their feelings, he walked over and said: "Of course, this matter must be explained to you, disturbing your good interest, it is the negligence of the hotel, if you can, please move your seat to the next door, I will immediately ask someone to make a table for you again." ”
Manager Wu in the front hall also rushed to hear the news, and someone explained everything to him on the way, so as soon as he arrived, he didn't stand firmly, so he apologized to the guests with Yan Shu's words: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, everyone, please come with me, the people in the back kitchen have prepared new dishes for you." Today's expenses are all counted in our hotel's account. ”
"Redo? I think it's better to forget it, what if another uncleaned thing poisons us, I still want to live a few more years! One of the guests had been speaking in a snarky tone, which made Chen Chen not feel good about him at all.
It is only when there are many such unreasonable people in the world that there will always be disputes, and those who are kind will be easily bullied. Chen Chen happens to be unaccustomed to this kind of person, he is obviously rich, but he is not atmospheric at all, he always speaks and acts with the atmosphere of a small citizen, and silently despises him in his heart.
Fortunately, the big-bellied man who invited him today's treat is a reasonable person, and he also has dealings with Yan Shu, so he is willing to sell Yan Shu a few thin noodles, so he hurriedly pulled his friend and persuaded: "Who are you competing with!" Let's go, this meal is not happy, let's go next door and continue to eat, why scare yourself so much. ”
When Manager Wu saw that someone was on his side, he quickly echoed: "Thank you for your understanding, please here, the dishes and chopsticks have been laid out and waiting." ”
The unconvinced, the palpitating and the completely unfeeling didn't say anything, and followed Manager Wu to the private room next door, and the Tianhe elegant room suddenly became cold.
Without waiting for Yan Shu's orders, the waiters below immediately came up with tools to clean the table and the floor, and the movements were very fast. This is the first time Chen Chen has encountered such a thing, and he is quite proud in his heart, although he knows that the credit is his own child, but doing a good deed still makes him feel self-satisfied.
There was a slight smile on the corner of Chen Chen's mouth, Yan Shu naturally saw it in his eyes, and he was impressed with him.
"Okay, now that they're all gone, why don't you tell me how you noticed something was wrong? We've all walked to the door just now, but you're hurrying back, this ......"
"Actually, when I saw puffer fish in the back kitchen, I didn't feel right, and I can't tell you what it was, after all, I had never touched puffer fish before. But as soon as I walked out the door, I suddenly had an idea of which TV show I had seen about fugu, so I realized that something was wrong. ”
Yan Shu didn't believe Chen Chen's excuse 100%, but since he didn't want to say it, Yan Shu couldn't ask either, so he just said: "I see, now I'm going to go and find out what's going on in person, can you go with me?" ”
"Of course." Chen Chen agreed, and he also wanted to know how the untreated puffer fish flowed to the banquet.
Yan Shu speculated that it was the kitchen that was the most suspicious, so he decisively took Chen Chen back to the kitchen to investigate the matter thoroughly.
"Where's Chef Liu?"
As soon as he entered the back kitchen, Yan Shu called Liu Qi sternly, and the latter heard about the private room upstairs, and he had been very nervous, and in the face of Yan Shu's cold Yan Shu, he couldn't wait to put his head on the ground.
"Do you know what's going on upstairs?"
Chef Liu lowered his head and said in a muffled voice: "Well, the news spreads quickly, I've already heard about it." ”
"Nothing you want to say?" Someone brought a small chair for Yan Shu to come in and put it, and he was not polite and sat down, and at this time, Chef Liu's head was almost on his chest.
Taking a step forward, Chef Liu shouted for himself: "Mr. Yan, I admit that I did today's puffer fish, but you also know that I am cowardly, how can I do such a life-threatening thing." You believe me, the puffer fish has been cleaned up before it is put into the pot, and now there is a problem, I dare to guarantee that it is not in my hands, I hope that Mr. Yan will be aware of everything, and don't be wronged! ”
After all, nearly ten lives are at stake, and of course Chef Liu will be excited and scared, and he has been proving for himself.
"But how do you explain the puffer fish offal that appeared in the soup pot? Tell me it's useless, do you think the customer believes it? What customers think is the question we should be most worried about right now. ”
Yan Shu's voice was a little colder, and it seemed to sound as if he was going to freeze his internal organs intact.
Although Yan Shu had already said that he was very angry and the consequences were very strict, Chef Liu still confirmed that he had cleaned up the puffer fish, and the poisonous internal organs were also cleaned up along with the kitchen waste, so there could be no mistakes.
"What's going on?" Seeing Chef Liu like that doesn't look like he is lying, Chen Chen is also puzzled, is it another trick to frame him?
Chen Chen carefully recalled the contents of the soup, and the internal organs and meat were separated, indicating that it was not that the chef did not clean it up when he made it, but that someone did it later. From this point of view, what Chef Liu said is also meritorious.
Seeing that innocent people were wronged, Chen Chen simply stood up: "Mr. Yan, I also don't think Chef Liu is lying." The internal organs we found just now were indeed stored separately instead of pasted on top of the puffer fish meat, so it seems that they were indeed secretly thrown in after Chef Liu put them in the pot. ”
Since Chef Liu emphasized that the internal organs were thrown away, the people who had access to the kitchen waste were the most suspicious.
Chen Chen turned his gaze to the people around him, almost all the people in the back kitchen were there, some were familiar faces to him, but some were sincere faces without disguise at all, and they were new at a glance.
Chen Chen didn't believe that the workplace was like a battlefield, if it could be matched with the plot and rhythm of Gong Dou, it would help you lose weight and become a heartthrob in half a year. But since the last time he passed through Li Huan's incident, Chen Chen also began to suspect that the people around him also had bad intentions.
So, he wasn't sure if this time it was a deliberate act or a pure accident.
Seeing that Chef Liu continued to prove his innocence, and there was still no progress in the matter, Yan Shu frowned, and said extremely unhappily: "Give you another chance, if you can't say anything useful, all the people who participated in the preparation and delivery of this dish today will be dismissed, and this month's salary will be confiscated." ”
Employees began to talk about it, and they didn't want it to involve themselves.
Chen Chen was also surprised that Yan Shu was not the kind of character who would kill a boatload of people with one shot, how could he talk like this, so he approached Yan Shu and asked, "Hey, do you really plan to fire all these people?" When the time comes, the hotel will be understaffed, and I'll see what you do. ”
He used to work as a small worker and a cook, so he naturally knew their current mood, and felt that Yan Shu's handling of this matter was a bit too much.
Yan Shu glanced at Chen Chen helplessly: Alas, why can't this IQ always keep up? But I thought it was still cute to me.
"Don't worry, I'm just a radical tactic. Wait and see. ”
As Yan Shu expected, the discussion became louder and louder, discussing the object of his suspicion, and after a while, a small worker slowly walked in front of Yan Shu and Chen Chen with his head down.
"That, Mr. Yan, I have something to say."
