Chapter 70: Investigation

He looked like he wanted to cry without tears, "We have been recruiting people all day today, but as soon as others heard that we were from Drunken Xuanlou, their faces changed, and they couldn't recruit anyone!" ”

Li Qiuchi was immediately anxious when he heard this, and his eyes were burning when he walked on the road, "We have never had a bad relationship with other people in Zuixuanlou, why is it that everyone suddenly avoids it?" ”

The steward also kept his eyes calm and didn't know what he was thinking.

She walked into the restaurant, pushed open the door and saw a few sparse handymen busy in the aisle, eager to fly out, Li Qiuchi couldn't help frowning. The restaurant was still very lively, some people were very impatient to wait, and some people even quarreled because of this, and the scene was noisy and noisy for a while.

She quickly organized the order, wrote down the customer's dishes on paper, and everyone only sent them to the nearest or drop-by, and soon the dishes were delivered to the table.

After entertaining all the customers, she looked at the tired and sweaty few people in front of her, and her face sank. After smiling and calming the handyman, she called the shopkeeper and asked him to inquire about the situation.

In the evening, the shopkeeper got the information and rushed to Li Qiuchi's study to report.

"Miss Li, it's not good!" The shopkeeper's voice was anxious, and he was so anxious that he was sweating, "Those handymen who resigned are now rumored outside, our chef has tuberculosis, and the people next to him are panicking, no wonder even the handymen are reluctant to come in." In this situation, who would dare to come in and eat! I'm afraid that in a few days, when all those rumors spread, our business will plummet! ”

"What?!" Li Qiuchi stood up suddenly in shock, and the shopkeeper was so angry that he was incoherent, "Are these people suffering from some crazy disease?" How to talk nonsense! Why does our restaurant have a chef who has tuberculosis? ”

Listening to the chatter of the shopkeeper next to her, she calmed down and wrinkled her eyebrows tightly, "I think I treat them well, and they have no reason to frame me like this, unless someone instructs them to give them benefits." ”

The shopkeeper was dumbfounded, "This ...... Who is it? How can such a vicious method be used, don't you want us to die! ”

Li Qiuchi didn't speak, his eyes were as clear as spring water, but they were gradually cold.

"I remember," the shopkeeper frowned, his tone solemn, "Xiao Liu, who is my fellow villager, also resigned, I didn't expect that he usually looks honest and honest, and he is not soft at all when he harms people." ”

Li Qiuchi narrowed his eyes and sat down slowly, "I'll go to his house tomorrow." ”

The shopkeeper immediately understood, and he bowed his body, "Yes." ”

That night, the more Li Qiuchi thought about it, the more bored he became, tossing and turning, and he didn't sleep well all night. On the second day, after she cleaned up, she took the shopkeeper and took the carriage to Xiao Liu's house.

Standing at the door, Li Qiuchi was a little surprised by the dilapidated scene, the wooden house had already become rotten after the baptism of time, and the sparse grass had grown in front of the door, which looked like an uninhabited place.

"Are you sure Xiao Liu's parents live here?" Li Qiuchi twisted his eyebrows.

The shopkeeper nodded firmly, "Yes, yes here." His eyes swept over the house, and he let out a sigh, "His family has always been very poor, although after he came out to work, he would send silver two back to his home every year, but after all, it was a drop in the bucket, and the old man Liu and the old grandmother were not doing well, sometimes I would give them some money, but it could only solve the urgent need for a while." ”

Li Qiuchi was silent and didn't speak, his eyes narrowed and he didn't know what he was thinking.

While she was pondering, the shopkeeper stepped forward and knocked on the door of the house.

"Knock knock!" A dull knock on the door sounded in the silent countryside, and it seemed very abrupt.

"Who?" A hoarse and low voice sounded in the room, followed by the swaying and creaking of bamboo chairs, clearly in disrepair.

The shopkeeper shouted loudly: "Old man Liu, it's me, Xiao Xie!" ”

Another old female voice in the room asked, "Old man, who is it?" Old Man Liu let out a hearty laugh, "It's Xiao Xie here, it's Xiao Xie!" ”

A slight and rapid footsteps sounded, the door was slowly opened, their happy faces met the eyes of the two, Old Man Liu took the lead in holding the shopkeeper's hand, and his wrinkled face was full of excitement, "Xiao Xie, you are here, come quickly, come in and sit!" ”

The shopkeeper had a complicated heart, and soon he smiled heartily, "Old man, I came here for business this time, and I will catch up with you next time." ”

Old Lady Liu didn't understand much, and looked at the shopkeeper in confusion, "Business? We don't know anything about the country. ”

The shopkeeper smiled and took a step back to the side, "Old man, old man, this is the owner of our restaurant, she said that she has something to talk to you about." ”

Li Qiuchi smiled lightly and bowed his head, "Hello grandpa and grandma." ”

The two of them saw that she had an extraordinary bearing and was dressed differently, although she was a female doll, her tone involuntarily became respectful.

"What's the matter with the owner looking for us? My old man must have something to say! Old Man Liu hurriedly spoke.

"No, I want to ask Xiao Liu, where did he go after he resigned from our restaurant? We were worried that he would not find a job and wanted to ask more. Li Qiuchi smiled faintly, and his voice was not slow.

When Mrs. Liu heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief, her cloudy eyes were full of joy, "The owner doesn't have to worry about our son, two days ago, the proprietress of Quansheng Restaurant specially came to ask him to work, saying that he did a good job and wanted to use double the salary to pull him into their restaurant." He's doing well now! ”

Li Qiuchi's eyes suddenly sank, and the Quansheng Restaurant ...... The Liu family! Her eyes were heavy, and she didn't know what she was thinking, and after a while, Li Qiuchi smiled and spoke.

"So I'm relieved, grandpa and grandma, you can rest well." Li Qiuchi took out a silver ingot from his sleeve and put it in the palm of Old Lady Liu's hand, "Xiao Liu hurriedly resigned, we all feel deeply sorry, this is a little bit of my heart, please accept it." ”

Mrs. Liu hurriedly excused herself, her face embarrassed, "How can this work, how embarrassed ......"

Li Qiuchi stuffed it into the palm of Mrs. Liu's hand, and smiled gently, "This is also a little bit of the younger generation's heart, please don't dislike it." ”

Mrs. Liu accepted it, and after expressing her gratitude, the two hurriedly said goodbye.

On the carriage, Li Qiuchi's eyes were cold and cold, and he quietly looked at the distant scenery, passing a trace of murderous light. There seemed to be a great deal of anger in her chest, and the breath was as hot as a flame, almost burning her clean.

The shopkeeper rarely saw her such a terrible look, and she was gentle and soft-spoken on weekdays, so he subconsciously silenced.
