was supposed to be a hot New Year's Day, Su Lou was full of birds, and simply distributed the inventory to everyone.

Early holiday!

Luo Qi took Shilang and decided to stay in the Su Building for the New Year, anyway, there are many people here who choose to stay because of the long distance, but they also have a good life, still in the filial piety period, so they pulled two light blue pigment clothes to make new clothes, and bought a kitten for Shilang, and told him to take care of it, Xu is young, and after a few days, Shilang's eyes were devoted to the kitten, and he no longer looked at people carefully at all times, fragile like a glass cup.

In the dead of night on Chinese New Year's Eve, Luo Qi was wrapped in thick clothes and watched the snow in the garden alone, and the pure world wrapped in silver made her heart more and more intense.

She carefully took out a piece of silk cloth from her bosom, on which were sketches of her parents, her brother's family and ...... Ah Jin ......

I didn't dare to touch it, for fear of staining the lines, but she really missed it, especially her parents, she tried hard to make herself laugh, and the spring flowers of the smile were clear and bright, but the low and deep laughter shed two lines of tears, seeping into the corners of her mouth, spreading a strong bitter taste.

Staggering, the intricate footsteps left a messy mark on the snow, with a slight drunkenness, she walked into the depths of Merlin, and saw at a glance that Ah Jiu, who was incompatible with this white world, wrapped in a thick black cloak as bright as ink, and the fluffy neckline only showed her eyes upward, and swept over lightly, but it made Luo Qi feel a sense of déjà vu.

However, this feeling was gone, and Luo Qi saw the charcoal basin at Ah Jiu's feet, and there was still a dark paper in it that had not been completely burned, "I didn't know you were here......"

She pointed to the charcoal basin and slowly retreated, but her steps were extremely inflexible, she only felt that she had tripped under her feet, and then she sat on the ground, Ah Jiu frowned, looked at the charcoal basin under her feet, and did not leave but did not come to help her, however, Luo Qi didn't feel anything at all, if he came, it would be surprising.

He stumbled up and left, not finding a white silk left in the snow.

The dark paper in the charcoal basin finally burned out, Ah Jiu picked a budding plum, gently put it on the basin he picked up, turned to leave, passed by the place where Luo Qi had fallen and paused, the cold wind stirred the white silk and swayed, and the snow stained the charcoal marks to blur the picture, even so, the brilliance that he couldn't hide in his eyes stared at the white silk like a man.

The charcoal basin fell to the ground, Ah Jiu trembled and picked up the white silk, his fingertips wandered along the notes of the charcoal strip, familiar traces and brushwork, anger burned his eyes red for a moment, but in a blink of an eye he calmed down again, regardless of the black ash stained on his fingertips, he touched those lines again, and a trace of hope appeared in his eyes.

This night, two black shadows flew out of the Su Building, one starry night rushed straight to Chang'an, and the other disappeared into Qiancheng County and rolled into Zhao's house.

Luo Qi woke up the next day, how could he not find his silk cloth statue, thought for a long time, vaguely seemed to have fallen in the plum forest, hurriedly went to find it, where is there a trace.

Lost and lost to the fifteenth, Su Lou resumed business, but the cold atmosphere of the year ago did not improve but became more and more intense, in addition to the price war of Xiaoyao Building, someone actually reported to the government that Su Lou used spoiled treasures, the cause was that someone came to Su Lou to eat, and after going back, it caused abdominal disease.

checked the list, the chef in charge of the table was surnamed Chen, and he bit the wrong, he was unwell that day and Yu Xian changed shifts, but Yu Xian was confused, he didn't know anything about the shift change, he just came to the big kitchen that day with nothing to do, and there was a bit of a problem with the heat of a small kitchen, he just pointed out twice, and there was no substitute at all.

There was no shift registration on the duty record, and Chef Chen was speechless, and finally admitted that he was unwell because he drank too much wine the first night, and he couldn't work the next day with a headache, so he changed shifts under the persuasion of Yu Xian, who came to the big kitchen, and changed shifts.

If there is no evidence, both sides have their own opinions, and it is difficult for anyone to draw conclusions.

The atmosphere in the building was a little delicate, Chef Chen left that afternoon, and the kitchen was only told the next morning that Chef Chen's mother was sick and had returned to her hometown to serve the illness.

This incident was like a fuse, which detonated the entire Su Lou.

There are only six of the original thirteen chefs in the back kitchen, one was dismissed, and three were resigned, I heard that they went to Xiaoyao Building, where they are now recruiting people with high salaries, and the entire Su Lou is obviously impetuous, and dismissal and dismissal have become a trend, and they are getting worse and worse.

Although there is no change in the relationship between everyone in the big kitchen on the surface, it is secretly divided into two groups, one is the original Su Lou chef group, the other is the isolated Yu Xian, and the new chef group of Luo Qi and Shen Qiaoyuan, who were passively put on hold by Yu Xian.

Since Yu Xian's shift change incident, he has begun to get close to Shen Qiaoyuan intentionally or unintentionally, and if you talk about it in detail, the isolated one looks more like Luo Qi.

On this day, in the garden, Yu Xian stopped Shen Qiaoyuan again and spoke in a low voice.

"Brother Shen, what do you think of what my brother said?"

Shen Qiao was silent, at this time, Luo Qi happened to pass by here, Yu Xian immediately stopped his voice, and looked at her with a smile, "Zhao Niangzi, where are you going?" ”

Luo Qi glanced at them, nodded slightly and passed by, but Yu Xianhu became suspicious, "Brother Shen, you said that this little lady wouldn't have heard our conversation, right?" ”

Shen Qiaoyuan disdained the vulgarity of Xian's speech, and still didn't say a word, Yu Xian squinted his eyes and punched hard, "Brother Shen, for your sake, my brother's mouth is about to wear out, and the Qu family has agreed, as long as you can help them win this year's Thousand Rides Banquet, the matter of your going to Chang'an City to settle down, and the compensation for the termination of the contract with Su Lou will be settled by them." ”

"Okay."

Shen Qiaoyuan finally spoke, he left or stayed, all it was to see who could provide him with the treasures he needed, who could make him go further on the current road, the same request, Su Lou had already rejected him when he signed the contract, since Xiaoyaolou agreed, it was just right.

"Since Brother Shen agreed, the Spring Banquet will be prepared in advance, but I don't know if the little lady heard us just now......

Yu Xian deduced it again, and then thought about it, there was nothing wrong with Luo Qi's expression, probably he didn't hear it, right?

Shen Qiaoyuan frowned and walked away impatiently.
