Zhou Qiang came to room 211 with a plate of "old clam pearls" overflowing with umami.

There were seven or eight people sitting in the room, some of whom Zhou Qiang was familiar with, and some of whom Zhou Qiang did not know.

Zhou Qiang was not afraid, stepped forward with the tray, took out the celadon plate with a lid and put it in front of Wang Qingruo, opened the lid, and introduced:

"My lord, the old clam is a pearl! This dish is made by steaming fresh river mussels and fine pigeon eggs for half an hour, so adults can eat it hot. ”

The pigeon eggs on the plate are white, the chicken is moist, and the winter melon balls are clear, Wang Qingruo scooped a spoonful into a small bowl and tasted it.

As soon as the meat was eaten, Wang Qinruo closed his eyes and savored it.

Zhou Qiang stood aside, and when she saw him tasting carefully, she couldn't help but get nervous, and a fine sweat broke out on her forehead.

"Is this really mussel meat?" A voice with the condescending majesty of the superior came, Zhou Qiang hurriedly nodded and said affirmatively, "Lord Hui, this is a fresh river mussel purchased this morning." ”

Wang Qinruo laughed and said, "Not bad! Although it is different from what I have eaten in the past, the taste is better, and the towering green building really lives up to its name. ”

"Thank you, sir."

Zhou Qiang breathed a sigh of relief, took the tray out of 211, wiped the fine sweat on her forehead with her sleeves, and walked downstairs quickly.

The river mussels in the back kitchen suddenly disappeared, and he didn't believe it was an accident.

He carefully recalled the scene when Lord Wang named Xiaochen and asked Xiaochen to be Lao Beng Huaizhu, and at that time, in Room 211, except for the group brought by Lord Wang, it was him and the seven bartenders, and there was no one else.

The guests had no chance to go to the back kitchen to steal the mussels, and the seven bartenders followed him all the time and never left his sight.

"Brother Zhou, how is it?"

The sudden voice startled Zhou Qiang, and after seeing clearly that the person was Song Guichen, he breathed a sigh of relief and pulled Song Guichen to the corner of the corridor: "Lord Wang didn't taste this dish is not a river mussel, but ......"

"Brother Zhou thinks who stole the mussels?"

Zhou Qiang was very surprised, Song Guichen was just a little girl, and it was just a good cooking, and her mind was so sharp.

Before she could explain it, she first guessed that someone had stolen the mussels.

"I can't say anything about it." Surprised for a while, Zhou Qiang frowned and said, "Lord Wang asked you to make this dish because it was a temporary idea after eating your dish, and in addition to Lord Wang and his party present at that time, there were only seven or eight bartenders I brought, that is to say, only these people knew about it." ”

"The guests don't have a chance to get into the back kitchen, is it the bartender?"

Zhou Qiang shook her head: "No, they were all brought by me, I understand them, and I will never do this kind of thing." ”

Song Guichen crossed his hands on his waist and said angrily: "Who is that, I can't see me so well, I saw those river mussels quietly in the bucket in the morning, and after only a while, they disappeared, can the river mussels still fly with wings?" ”

It was rare to see her look like such a little daughter, Zhou Qiang laughed, then sighed, and solemnly confessed: "I suspect that there are indeed people who can't see you, in short, the people in the building can still enter and exit the back kitchen, Xiaochen, you have to be careful these days, pay more attention to the people around you." ”

As he spoke, he explained with embarrassment: "This matter is not easy to do, and we will investigate it carefully when Lord Wang and the others leave." ”

Years of experience as a bartender told him that it was probably because the people in the kitchen secretly took the mussels out of jealousy of Xiaochen.

If so, it's not complicated.

The person who stole the river mussel may have just been jealous and wanted to make Xiaochen a little stumbling, but it just happened that Lord Wang ordered the dish of Lao Mussel Huaizhu.

Song Guichen patted her head in annoyance, she understood what Zhou Qiang meant, but she always felt that things were not so simple.

In the back kitchen of the West Building today, in addition to Sister Yueyue and a few handyman girls, there are also a few old chefs in the Towering Green Building such as Mu Damiang, a total of 12 people, but if you count the bartenders and handymen who come and go to serve dishes, there are too many people coming in and out.

Even if I look closely, I'm afraid I won't be able to find out what happened.

Song Guichen sighed, making Zhou Qiang amused: "At a young age, how can you look like a little old man?" Don't worry, I will report this matter to Han Cai, and with him coming forward, the thief who stole the mussel will definitely find out soon. ”

Speaking of Han Caiban, Song Guichen couldn't help but think of how he stared at him in a daze last night.

Inexplicably, Song Guichen felt that this seemingly kind Brother Han didn't seem to be so kind.

However, this was just her unfounded intuition, so she smiled and thanked Zhou Qiang before asking, "Can the guests of Pavilion 213 leave?" ”

"Oh, yes!" Zhou Qiang suddenly remembered that Gu Yi and the others had said that they wanted to see Xiaochen, "Look at me, I was so interrupted by the matter here that I forgot Gu Gongzi's explanation." ”

"It's okay, I'll go and see if they're still there." Song Guichen took off his apron and ran towards the second floor in small steps, Zhou Qiang smiled behind him, "This girl." ”

Song Guichen came to the second floor, and Yu Guang looked at the black-clothed guards on the left and right, feeling quite uncomfortable, as if he had come to the gate of the official mansion, and he had to be cautious in his steps.

More than a dozen black-clothed guards saw that she was dressed in the style of the towering green building, but they didn't stop her and let her pass.

Coming to the door of Pavilion No. 213, Song Guichen raised his hand and knocked on the door: "Guest officer, I heard that you want to see me." ”

Hearing a slightly serious "Come in" from inside, Song Guichen unceremoniously pushed the door and walked in.

"Guest—"

Seeing a man standing by the window, wearing a cyan long-sleeved coat and a white robe, Song Guichen was stunned for a while.

And Du Qingshan was also so surprised that he leaned against the window.

"Ahh

Thinking that I parted ways with him without hesitation not long ago, and now we meet in this way, I can't help but feel a little ...... Creation makes people feel good.

After a short period of stunnedness, Song Guichen walked over to Du Qingshan with an embarrassed but polite smile.

"What a coincidence, we met so soon, haha."

"Yes, I thought you were going to get rich after dumping me, and then you soared, but I didn't expect you to be so miserable and become the cook of the Towering Building."

"Tut, don't gloat so much, okay, I saved your life too, I can be regarded as your savior."

Du Qingshan sneered: "What about your master?" Don't tell me your master is a certain cook in the Tower. ”

"Of course not!" Song Guichen glanced at Du Qingshan, and argued forcefully, "My master, he has traveled all over the world, and he happened to leave Hangzhou recently, can't he?" ”

"You-"

Du Qingshan was about to expose her lies, Gu Yi and Gu Ziying came up, Gu Yi said: "Brother Du, could it be that this Xiaochen cook is the Xiaochen girl you met on the road?" ”

Du Qingshan held back the words full of words that were about to block Song Guichen into his stomach, and nodded to Gu Yi: "That's right, I didn't expect to meet her here again, and thank you Miss Ziying." ”

If Gu Ziying hadn't proposed to come to Cuilou, he wouldn't have found this stingy and arrogant "life-saving benefactor" so quickly.
