Chapter 100: Eavesdropping

"Grandpa Sun, what's wrong?" Ling'er screamed and rushed in, but the kitchen was empty, she glanced around, and found that the door of the storage room was open, and there seemed to be a figure inside! Could it be that the expensive porcelain in the storage room has been broken? Shouldn't you be held responsible?

She ran to the storage room in a hurry, and two feet away from the door, a figure suddenly flashed inside, Ling'er didn't have time to stop, and hit it in a daze! The other party took a step back, stabilized, and then pushed forward, and the thin and small Ling'er was bounced back a few steps.

Ling'er rubbed his nose and looked up, and saw that the person who collided with him was actually Manager Liu, he smiled and said, "Little stone, who did I think it was?" What, finished eating? Didn't go to rest? ”

Ling'er nodded, and wanted to look inside on her tiptoes, but Steward Liu leaned on one side and stopped inside intentionally or unintentionally: "Little stone, I'll discuss something with Master Sun, you go outside to guard, ah!" ”

Ling'er thought for a while: "Grandpa Sun is also inside?" Didn't he say that no one but him could come near the storeroom? ”

Steward Liu paused for a moment, and said with a smile: "Naturally, I can't be considered an outsider, I am in charge of the kitchen here, and I am counting the tableware with Master Sun, can I count enough?" You go out first, go out, we'll call you if there's something!" ”

Steward Liu pushed her out as he spoke, and Ling'er turned back from time to time, hesitantly walking out. As she left the door, she seemed to see a figure crouching on the ground in the storage room to pick up something, which was reflected by the beam of the skylight, refracting the white light. She wanted to see again that the kitchen door was slamming shut, and then there was a rattling latch!

Ling'er was standing at the door, no matter how she thought about it, she didn't feel right! The crisp sound was obviously the sound of broken porcelain, and the kitchen was neat, without a single fragment, except for the storage room, if it was really broken, it was mine or theirs? When the time comes, it won't be up to me, and I will be asked to sign a deed of sale to compensate, right? And Chef Sun, is he in the pantry? Why don't you see others?

Ling'er looked around, there seemed to be a lot fewer people serving food in the big kitchen in front, this trip should be busy at noon, and there are not many people here, so ......

She walked up and down the doorway, seemingly unintentionally, but her eyes searched the doors, windows, and walls of the kitchen. Suddenly, she noticed a gap more than an inch wide in the corner of the wall near the storage room, and the place was still a little hidden, and passers-by on the other side of the large kitchen could not see it without noticing.

So, she pretended to wander around and felt the gap and huddled into a ball, and leaned on the crack in the wall to peek in. It's too bright outside, it's too dark inside, and I can't see anything at first, but I vaguely feel that there are a few figures shaking in the storage room, and it seems that someone is still talking in a low voice?

She listened with bated breath for a long time, and occasionally could make out a word or two, such as "banquet", "porcelain", etc., and she couldn't make out anything from this alone...... After another quarter of an hour or so, the door to the storage room creaked, and two men walked inside.

The first one could recognize it as Steward Liu at a glance, the second came out and closed the door, took out the key and locked the door carefully. This action is very familiar, obviously it is Chef Sun! But the following conversation made Ling'er shocked and confused!

Steward Liu said: "Brother Sun, you are still the same old problem, you are careful in everything, there are no outsiders here, you also got a little hairy head to be a substitute for the dead ghost, so you don't have to lock it layer after layer, right?" ”

"What do you know? Be careful! If you get caught, you'll have to die, you know! ”

"Oops, I know! How many times do you have to say this every time, but our brothers have been born and died for so many years, and they have done so many votes, and we haven't seen anything! The government can't help us, what else can this Yan family do? ”

"Shh~~~" The man made a silent gesture and looked around vigilantly. Before turning to Ling'er's side, Ling'er suddenly dodged away, rushed to the nearby flower bed in a few steps, tore off a handful of leaves, and began to count seemingly innocently!

A few seconds later, a figure flashed in front of the window, Ling'er could feel the inquiring gaze that fell on her, she happily counted a handful of leaves, threw them into the air, looked around, and then ran to the door, knocked on the door, and shouted softly: "Grandpa Sun, Steward Liu?" Grandpa Sun, Steward Liu? ……”

No one answered inside, Ling'er stared at the door in disappointment for a while, and muttered in a loud voice: "Why hasn't Grandpa Sun finished eating?" He's not going to fall asleep, is he? …… Forget it, anyway, Grandpa Sun said let me guard the storage room, the storage room is in this house, I just need to guard the door! ”

Ling'er was happy, jumped up and down to the position of Fang Cai, and ripped off a handful of leaves and began to count, until he counted the third handful, and the sight that had been sticking to himself faded! Ling'er let out a long breath, it's so tiring to act!

She looked back at the crack in the wall, her eyes rolled, although she still wanted to eavesdrop, but for the sake of safety, she decided to squat here honestly and count the leaves, and she had to digest the words she had just heard!

Steward Liu called Chef Sun Brother Sun, as well as the tone and content of their speech, it seems that the relationship between these two is different! They say that those who do what they do are caught in their way and there is only one way to die, so what are they doing? And the government can't help them, could it be that this is a group of robbers who kill people and oversell goods?

No way! How dare robbers brazenly come to town? Didn't you say that Steward Liu was a distant cousin of the Yan family? Does this Chef Sun have some skills? Wait, I remember that Steward Liu also said that he was a substitute for the dead! What is the substitute for the dead? Do they really want to kill people and take the blame on themselves?

The more Ling'er thought about it, the more wrong it became, and the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she always felt that she was in another trouble! What to do? Is it too late to get out of the way? Even if you can get out now, what about the original plan? What should I do with my parents? Her brow almost formed a pimple, and she struggled for a long time without results.

The kitchen door finally opened, and Steward Liu came out, and said to Chef Sun with a flattering smile: "Master Sun, then the matter is settled, I will go to find two bear's paws, and I will work hard for you these days!" ”

Chef Sun put one hand behind his back and waved his hand: "Okay, let's go, remember to come back the night before the banquet, otherwise it will be too late!" ”

"Hehe, I know, Master Sun, don't worry, I promise to take care of this matter!"

Steward Liu bowed, turned around and walked out with a smile, and greeted with a smile when he passed by Ling'er's side: "Little stone, Master Sun praised you a lot, don't let Master Sun down!" ”

Ling'er was stunned to respond, and then stared blankly at Steward Liu's back and left quickly.

"Boy, come here!" Chef Sun suddenly shouted. Ling'er was stunned, answered the call and hurriedly ran over, and followed Chef Sun into the big private kitchen. Chef Sun walked to the back of the stove, pointed to the debris on the ground and said, "Come on, clean this up!" ”

Ling'er saw that there were two pieces of white porcelain bowls and plates on the ground, and pretended to be surprised and scared: "Oh, Grandpa Sun, how can there be broken plates here!" No... I didn't break it! ”

"Okay, I know, I don't blame you! Just clean it up! Look at your little bit of interest! ”

"Oh, good!" Ling'er hurriedly went to the back of the door to get a broom and poke the basket, carefully swept the debris, and by the way, swept the entire kitchen floor. Chef Sun looked at it for a while, nodded with satisfaction, and then took out a notebook from the drawer of the tea table and began to study it carefully.

After an afternoon, Chef Sun didn't do anything, just sat at the tea table and slowly flipped through the booklet in his hand while drinking tea. Ling'er stood in front of the door of the storeroom, his eyes glancing over there from time to time, eager to see something from his demeanor! It's a pity that the result disappointed her, and after an afternoon of staying, nothing happened, and nothing was seen!

In the evening, a voice outside said, "Master Sun, the little one is here to bring you dinner!" ”

Chef Sun glanced out, slowly put the booklet into the drawer, and said lightly: "Well, come in!" ”

A guy came in cautiously with a tray, and said with a flattering smile: "Master Sun, the little one is on an errand next to Steward Liu, and Steward Liu is a little busy these days, so let the little one take charge of Master Sun's food!" Master Sun, do you think this meal is to your taste today? If you don't like it, the small one will be changed for you immediately! ”

Chef Sun glanced at it lightly, waved his hand and said, "Go down, something will call you!" ”

"Yes! Master Sun, the small surname is Qiu, the name is Xiaoliang, you can call the small one at any time if you have something, and the small one is just outside the door! ”

Chef Sun glared at him unhappily, and the guy immediately nodded and withdrew with a smile. Chef Sun waited for the door to be closed before picking up chopsticks and tasting each dish slowly. Ling'er stood for a long time, her stomach was already hungry, she saw others eating, smelled the aroma of food, and her stomach gurgled and screamed.

Chef Sun glanced at this, Ling'er covered her stomach and said embarrassedly: "Grandpa Sun, I... I'm not hungry, not hungry at all! It's true! ”

Chef Sun said lightly: "There are dishes and chopsticks in the cupboard, take them and sit down to eat!" ”

Ling'er was stunned for a moment, and wanted to excuse herself, but when she saw Chef Sun's displeased face, she had to thank her, went to get the dishes and chopsticks, and stood under Chef Sun and ate slowly like a few meters.

Ling'er followed Chef Sun in this empty private kitchen that night until the end of the night, when someone knocked on the door, and there were a few men with big knives in their hands! Ling'er was startled, thinking that there were bandits, but the other party said to Chef Sun: "Master Sun, thank you for your hard work!" We're taking over! ”

Chef Sun nodded, stood up and said, "You have to take care of things!" ”

"Yes! Master Sun rest assured, there will be no mistakes! ”

After the two sides handed over, Chef Sun took Ling'er out of the private kitchen, and looked back to see the men standing around the kitchen, and the leading man swimming around with a big knife! Tsk, this posture and spirit are no worse than those of the government officials! (To be continued.)
