Chapter 51: Xu's Private Dining Room
The restaurant is a separate house with just two floors. The door is ajar, and when people pass by here, they will only think that it is a residential area, and they will not think that there is a restaurant here.
Holren pushed open the door, and behind it was a small courtyard, and after passing through the courtyard, the house behind it was the place where the guests were entertained.
"Old Xu. ”
As soon as he entered, Hollen's shout shouted affectionately.
Aside from the time he went to Griffin's world, he hadn't eaten his family's food in a long time.
Walking into the hall, there is not a table in the hall, there is only a counter, which is full of various kinds of liquor, neatly sorted and placed. These wines are not the best wines, and the best ones are hidden for Lao Xu.
In addition to this counter, the hall is more like a living room, with circular leather sofas. When you sit on it, it's very soft and you look like it's imported.
The real place to eat is in other private rooms, no matter who comes to eat, whether it is a person or not, they all eat in the private room, which is very protective of the privacy of the guests.
Xu Wei is very young, twenty-six years old, and has been coming to this restaurant for several years. Although he is young, he is very experienced. Otherwise, it would not be possible for so many diners to spread the word of mouth.
"It's been a long time since you've been here. ”
Xu Wei came out of a room door with a gentle smile on his face.
"How long is it, just over a month. It's not cheap for you to eat here, so I can't afford to slow down my wallet. ”
Hollen quipped, making a gesture to count the money.
He walked into an empty box, he had been here many times, and he was already very familiar with this place.
He doesn't need Xu Wei to entertain him, he is familiar with the road himself. Xu Wei followed him in, "What do you want to eat today?"
Horren didn't answer, and looked at the wall, on which were the names of the dishes hung on the bamboo chips, and all of them could be made.
I change the bamboo slices on it according to the ingredients of the day, and I glanced at it, "It's still the same as before." ”
didn't bother to report the name of the dish, Xu Wei nodded, let him sit by himself for a while, and then went to the back kitchen to get him the dishes.
In addition to a large round wooden table, each box also has cleaning utensils and a small bookcase.
Although there are not many books on the bookcase, there is a lot of variety. Hollen picked up one of the latest publications and rummaged through them, specifically looking for urban legends, or 'unreliable' weird news.
"Ten years ago, there was a serial murder case in the Ferrand district, and the same case was repeated a week ago, what is the truth, it is rumored that the Ferrand district used to be the old town..."
This news was published in a small corner, and it is easy to ignore if you are not careful. In the past, Huo Lun would not have read this kind of news, and even now, the news of this kind of publication is not very credible.
Exaggerated language and eye-catching are the way these gossip stories survive. However, these news have some advantages, that is, as long as it is news that catches the wind, they publish it directly without confirming it.
Compared with some manipulated news, these news are mixed with some real things. How to distinguish, it is up to you to judge.
"Knock knock!"
"Please come in!"
Xu Wei came in with a utensil and closed the door. He replaced the empty metal basin again, "Read the newspaper again, your dishes will be served in a while, I'm a little busy today." ”
"What's the matter, the guests are still too busy. ”
Holren put down the newspaper and walked over to the replaced utensils shelf, soaking his hands.
The water inside is not ordinary clear water, and special herbs are placed, which Xu Wei has always done very well.
"Look at what you say, what do you mean by just a little guest. Old Joe and Bob are not here today. ”
"I'm alone, can I be busy?"
"So coincidentally?"
The two people Xu Wei said were one of the chefs of this restaurant, and Xu Wei was the head chef.
"Something happened. ”
Xu Wei's face was a little melancholy, "I don't know when it will be resolved, Bob is okay, he has something at home, and he will be back tomorrow." ”
"Old Joe doesn't know, his family lives in the Ferrand district, isn't there a murder case in that area? Old Joe was also taken in for questioning as one of the witnesses. ”
"When did you leave?"
"I took it away last night, and I was taken away after calling me, and I could hear the siren of the police car on the other end of the phone. ”
Sighing, Xu Wei hoped from the bottom of his heart that Lao Qiao would come back safely. The three of them are not only the relationship between the boss and the employee, but also friends.
Huo Lun asked, "Is it so serious, I should be able to put it back if I ask clearly." ”
Xu Wei didn't agree with this point of view, "One of the diners in my restaurant is a senior executive of the police station, I inquired about the news, and he said that this matter is not in their hands, and he doesn't know about it." ”
He lowered his voice, "I've looked for other relationships, but they are all lost, and no one dares to guarantee it." ”
"I wondered if a witness in a homicide case should really provide information to the police station. But is it necessary to have an attitude towards murderers? ”
"Xiao Huo, aren't you a shareholder of a large company, help me inquire. ”
Huo Lun hurriedly waved his hand, "Old Xu, don't lift me up." I'll do my best to help you inquire. ”
"Then thank you, I'm invited for this meal. ”
Xu Wei is obviously a little at a loss now, he clearly knows Huo Lun's background, and he also knows that Huo Lun can't help much. Even the top brass of the police station said that there was nothing they could do, let alone others.
But try it at any chance, just in case, and he's also greeted a lot of well-connected diners.
Huo Lun is not hypocritical, he knows a few so-called second generations, but it is obviously useless to look for them. In these matters, their relationship does not play a role at all.
He felt that Lao Qiao should have encountered an extraordinary incident, otherwise, as a witness, whether he was a murderer or not, how could it be so serious, he should have been released a long time ago.
Therefore, he decided to investigate it himself, as a favor to Lao Xu. What's more, he also has some confidence in his own strength.
Soon, Horen's dishes were ready, four dishes and one soup, and the portion was moderate. He just eats it every time. One of the oil glue pork ribs was very tasty and not greasy at all. It is also one of Horen's favorite dishes to eat.
Lao Xu's craftsmanship, if there are better ingredients, the dishes will be more delicious.
After satisfying a meal, he drank a cup of tea and rinsed his mouth, comforted Xu Wei not to worry, and then left the restaurant.
