The food was unpalatable, but Chen Qiuniang was hungry, so she took a few bites indiscriminately, and continued to write recipes and play.

As soon as I finished writing a bear's paw tofu, the door creaked open, and a man in a short shirt shouted at the door, "Let's go." The big boss wants to see you. ”

"Didn't you just see it? Why did you see you again? "You're not fooling me, are you?" Chen Qiuniang said while losing the brush.

The man in the short shirt kept his mouth shut. Chen Qiuniang shrugged her shoulders and said, "The two of you are very boring, you have helped me as a meat ticket, restricting my freedom of movement, and not letting me speak, which is really hateful." ”

The man in the short shirt pursed his lips tightly and lowered his head as if he was afraid of answering.

"Okay, lead the way, I won't embarrass you." Chen Qiuniang flicked her sleeves.

As if he had been pardoned, the man in the short shirt immediately made a gesture of please, and stepped out of the door with a single lunge.

Chen Qiuniang followed the man in the short shirt to meet the big boss. This time, the big boss did not meet her in the Juyi Hall, but in the small two-story bamboo building to the east. When Chen Qiuniang went upstairs, the big boss was sitting on the side of the window, looking at a locust tree outside the window in a daze. There is a plate of boiled peanuts and a warm rice wine on the small bamboo coffee table next to it.

Chen Qiuniang stood still on the side of the case, and said crisply: "Qiuniang meets the big boss." ”

Only then did the big boss turn around, put down the jasper cup in his hand, pointed to the bamboo chair opposite, and said, "Sit down." ”

"There are several mountains near this Zhuxi Lake, and they are full of green bamboos, and you can make the best use of them here. I don't know if I can visit this master of bamboo weaving and become his apprentice. Chen Qiuniang looked at the bamboo weaving utensils around her, and she liked it from the bottom of her heart. She even thought that in the future, the catering empire could also use bamboo chairs and other features to add characteristics.

"You're a meat ticket now." The big boss emphasized with a pleasant face, and the corners of his lips showed a few smiles.

"Oops. I'll be honest, you don't look like bandits, what kind of meat tickets are you talking about. There are so many mountains near this Zhuxi Lake, how many rare and exotic beasts must be there, even if this lake is full of fish and shrimp, where do you need to do this kind of robbery. Chen Qiuniang smashed a high hat over, and this was also the question she observed.

"Hehe, you think too highly of us, we are mountain bandits." The man said.

Chen Qiuniang gave a thumbs up and said, "You deserve to be a big boss, you can say that you are a mountain bandit so imposingly and so good." However, having said that, I vaguely know that this is not the Meizhou area, but about Linqiongfu. ”

"Walking in the mountains at night, in the carriage, what else do you know where this belongs?" The big boss was very surprised.

"Look at the direction and the hour, and you can figure it out. As for how far away from Linqiong Mansion is, I am not an immortal, how can I know. Chen Qiuniang said with a grin. She didn't know that it was always dangerous to be too sharp and easy to break. It's just that the current situation is too clumsy to do big things, not to mention that the man in front of him asked the sentence "Who are you" before, and now he sees her alone, there must be some mystery and turnaround in this, she can't be too timid. In her Jiang Yun's dictionary, except for Dai Yuanqing's impossible thing to defeat fate, she has never been afraid and surrendered.

"And do you know what this place is?" The big boss asked again.

"I don't know. I'm not familiar with Linqiong Mansion. Chen Qiuniang replied truthfully. She is indeed not familiar with Linqiong Mansion, and what she can probably know is that there is a small town near Linqiong Mansion, or she knows it from Dai Yuanqing's game. By the way, she also knew that Zhuo Wenjun's hometown was in Linqiong Mansion.

"A nine-year-old girl, like this, is already good." The big boss said slowly.

Chen Qiuniang smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for the compliment." However, don't beat around the bush, if there is anything you want to ask me, just ask directly. ”

The man let out an "oh" and smiled, "You're very smart." I just wanted to ask what you said today at Juyitang, but is it true? ”

"If the big boss doesn't believe it, you can send someone to investigate." Chen Qiuniang sat on the bamboo couch and looked at the man in front of her with a smile.

"No need. I believe you, and your eyes are not lying. The man leaned slightly, put the cup in his hand on the table, and said, "You can go back, I don't have anything more to ask." ”

Chen Qiuniang said twice, sat upright, and threw out a sentence: "But I want to talk to the big boss about life and ambitions." ”

"Oh?" The big boss smiled with interest and asked, "What do you want to talk about?" ”

"There are three things I want to talk to the big bosses." Chen Qiuniang erected a three-word with her fingers, and the little girl's face was full of cunning.

"Speak." The big boss peeled a peanut and threw it into his mouth, and then chewed it and spit out such a word briefly.

Chen Qiuniang didn't wait for any foreshadowing, and asked bluntly: "First, I want to ask the big boss a question, with your power and status, although you are mountain bandits, you are different from ordinary grass bandits, and then look at the situation of the surrounding landscapes, presumably you are not people who lack two taels of silver." Besides, your people are running long distances, and I don't believe anything is just for a poor jingle innkeeper. Therefore, the first question I want to ask the big boss, who is so capable, but please move you. ”

"This kind of question, do you think I'll sue you?" The big boss asked rhetorically.

Chen Qiuniang laughed and said, "It seems that she won't answer." So, I just want to ask if it's a competitor of Chen's shopkeeper? Jian yì grabbed me by a woman. ”

The big boss shook the wine glass lightly, threw it firmly on the table, and said with a smile: "Next question." ”

"It's okay, I'll give you time to think about it. After we solve the following questions, you can see if it answers my question. I can afford to wait. Chen Qiuniang also smiled.

"Huh. Then see if I can say it. You say, other questions you have to ask. The big boss changed his posture and leaned against the window. The heroic face reflects the sunlight, but there is a radiant temperament.

"It's better to be respectful than to obey. My second question is: when the big boss sees me, he feels like an old man, and I want to know who I really look like. Oh, I just want to know where I came from. ”

The big boss was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "You look very similar to a distant relative of mine, so I asked about your identity to see if you are related to each other." Check it out now, and it's not related to the family. ”

The man was lying. Although the expression on his face was impeccable and said as if it were true. But some of the unconscious small movements of his hand could not hide from her. It was a typical case in forensics.

However, she didn't need an accurate answer at all, and now it was enough to know that the man was hiding it. All she needed to know was that her parents or relatives were old acquaintances with this man.

"It's a shame. The big boss is heroic at first glance. Chen Qiuniang sighed.

"Although I don't have a family relationship, Qiu Niang is so smart, if you don't dislike me for being old, you can be a friend." The big boss is still smiling lazily.

Chen Qiuniang smiled and said: "In this troubled world, money and force are the most powerful savings. It's great that I can climb up to the top of my friends. ”

The big boss still smiled lazily and said, "You are not afraid that we are mountain bandits and will affect you." ”

"What are you afraid of? You're not really bandits. How can there be such a well-trained and powerful mountain bandit as you? Chen Qiuniang laughed.

"Usually smart, die fast. Although Qiu Niang is young, she must understand this truth. The big boss said a few words lightly, but there was a threat. At the same time, this sentence also shows that these people are not willing to be ordinary mountain bandits, or they are not mountain bandits at all.

Chen Qiuniang just smiled, then changed the topic, muttered that she was not satisfied with the order given by the third master, and then talked about how to cook, and asked the purpose of copying the recipe by the way.

Chen Qiuniang was simply chattering, under such a series of words, the big boss also said that dealing with Chen Wen is "receiving the favor of others and being loyal to others", otherwise how could he deal with a small character who has no power to restrain the chicken. As for dealing with her, it is really what the three masters said, in order to do their best to collapse Chen Wenzheng to the point where he can't turn over. As for why until her abilities, her guess was correct. It was indeed a woman who sued them.

"I'm really weird. What is a chef and a nine-year-old girl? Say you're by his side, and he won't be able to go bankrupt. That's a lot of compliment. The big boss was sitting at this moment, looking at Chen Qiuniang very seriously.

Chen Qiuniang pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "It is about the highest praise for my cooking skills, if the big boss does not dislike it, Qiu Niang can cook for you and let you taste my skills." ”

"The third child has already complimented you. But I'd like to try your hand at it for myself. The big boss gently put the empty cup in his hand on the table next to the bamboo couch.

"Then please remove the ban on not talking to me, and send me two nimble cooks. I had to find the ingredients. Chen Qiuniang made a request.

The big boss's request to her was a big wave of his hand, and he was right. Then, after turning behind the screen, a guard immediately gave the order.

After Chen Qiuniang slowly stood up, she said slowly: "If the big boss thinks my cooking skills are okay." I would like to talk to the big boss about the Chen family and the creation of a catering empire. Nine times out of ten, I guessed the people who let you do things, and I guess smart people like the big boss also understand why they are planning to bring down the Yunlai Inn. ”

"You know. It's just that you are too high-profile, and that person is jealous and afraid that your owner will shine too brightly, and he is worried that he will not be able to run the business. I also know that you must be very well run, or very good in ideas. Otherwise, no one would hesitate to seek the bankruptcy of the Chen family with the grace of their lives back then. Back then, I was seriously injured on the side of the road with several arrows, and it was the one who saved me and did not ask for anything in return for so many years. Now when a man asks me, how can I not agree? There was unconcealed helplessness between the words of the big boss.

Chen Qiuniang had nothing to say, because at this point, it was almost impossible for this man to let Chen Wenzheng go. The only thing she could do was to say that she was preparing to open the original hotel all over the Northland and South; Speaking of Chen Wenzheng, a man with such an earth-shattering talent.

"If it is said that the big boss is a military wizard, a person who leads troops to fight; Then Shopkeeper Chen is a model of civil officials, upright, thoughtful, peaceful, but insistent on his own opinions. The big boss and him can be described as a martial artist and a Confucian, and his knowledge is extraordinary. You should all be people who cherish each other. If it is in the imperial court, it must be a talent of peace and stability. It's a pity that the big boss is now dealing with him. Chen Qiuniang sighed, gently rolled up her sleeves, and slowly retreated.

"Wait." The big boss was silent for a moment, and shouted loudly to Chen Qiuniang, who was about to turn downstairs. RS
