Xiao Er on the side handed the things in his hand to Steward Cui.

Steward Cui opened it and saw that inside was a silver ticket for them to bribe a cook in Fuyuan Restaurant.

"Miss Tong, are you here to send me money?" Cui Guan held the silver ticket, calm and composed, as if he didn't know what Tong Chuxue's intentions were.

Tong Chuxue didn't speak, but beckoned, and a middle-aged man walked out from behind her and stood in front of the two.

The man glanced at Steward Cui, and then at Tong Chuxue, "Miss Tong, this person is the one who gave me money and asked me to steal the marinade from the restaurant." He said that when it was done, I would be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver. ”

Tong Chuxue squinted at Steward Cui and said with a smile, "How is it, what else do you have to say?" ”

Steward Cui naturally didn't admit it, when he first talked to people, it was clearly through the curtain of the carriage, how could the cook in front of him recognize him.

"How do you prove that the person who gave you the silver ticket that day was me, and you saw my face?" Steward Cui asked sharply.

The man shook his head, "I didn't see it, but I recognized your voice and the jade pendant on you." ”

Steward Cui looked down, the jade pendant that the cook said should be the carved jade pendant of the warm jade on his waist, but it is just a jade pendant, and others can also have it.

"Even if that's the case, the cook is the cook of your Fuyuan Restaurant, maybe it's Miss Tong that you planted the blame on me and deliberately colluded to confess." Cui Steward said.

Tong Chuxue seemed to have expected Steward Cui's reaction, "Whether my evidence is useful or not, you might as well go to the court and let the county master decide, you say it doesn't count." ”

Steward Cui smiled, "Miss Tong likes to run to the county government for everything, but if the girl insists, I will accompany the girl on a trip." ”

Steward Cui firmly believes that he absolutely did not let the cook find his face at the beginning, and all the chefs can see are his subordinates, as long as he bites to death and does not admit it, others have no choice.

"Boss Cui, one witness may not be enough, but two witnesses are much more credible, do you think you can buy my people with money, and I also think you can buy your people with money, do you want to try?" Tong Chu Snow Trail.

Steward Cui stabilized his mind and said calmly, "I think the girl must have something to say when she comes today, otherwise we will see you in the court at this moment." ”

"Yes, Steward Cui is really a smart person," Tong Chuxue smiled with satisfaction, "The purpose of my visit today is not to find fault, but to help you." ”

"Help?" The shopkeeper's tone was full of suspicion, just now Tong Chuxue said that her peers were enemies, and now she said that she was here to help Cui Ji Restaurant, she was crazy and couldn't help her opponent.

However, Tong Chuxue's next sentence immediately moved the shopkeeper.

"I can provide you with the recipe for the marinade." Tong Chu Snow Trail.

The formula can be said to be the most important trade secret of a restaurant, and now that Tong Chuxue said that it could be provided, Steward Cui and the shopkeeper immediately became vigilant after a moment of heartbeat.

"You must think it's strange why I should give you such a lucrative thing." Tong Chuxue said, "Actually, I have conditions. ”

The shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief, and if there are conditions, then this matter can be discussed.

"I want half of the net profit of your restaurant." Tong Chu Snow Trail.

"Impossible!" Steward Cui categorically refused almost the next moment her words fell.

If Cui Ji's restaurant cedes half of the profits, just for the sake of a recipe for braised vegetables, it can't be drawn, and it really can't be drawn.

"I advise you to think clearly before you speak." Tong Chuxue said, "I made a braised dish today and robbed many of your guests, aren't you afraid that I will make something else tomorrow, who told you that I only have a secret recipe in my hand." ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he was shocked, they didn't expect this layer, if the braised vegetables were just a card in Tong Chuxue's hand, then when she took out a few more cards, Cui Ji Restaurant would be able to have business.

"You also know that the braised vegetables in our Fuyuan Restaurant have now become a trend in the county, although your braised vegetables are cheap, but the taste is really average, and they will be eliminated soon, what will you do when the time comes." Tong Chuxue was kind and persuasive, "With my braised vegetable recipe, you can make more money, and it is not too much for me to share half of the profits as a formula." ”

The hot business of Fuyuan Restaurant is the best proof of this, but Tong Chuxue still hesitates when she sees the two.

"Are you wondering, why don't I earn this money alone, why do I have to give it to you? In fact, it is very simple, we have limited manpower, and I can't manage to open another one, so it is better to let a few profits come out and let others help run it. "Tong Chu Snow Road.

Steward Cui seemed to have been persuaded by Tong Chuxue, and hesitated, "I have to go back and talk to the fourth master about this." ”

"Yes, three days, if you don't agree, we will see you at the government." Tong Chuxue stood up and prepared to leave.

I saw that Steward Cui's face had improved slightly just now and immediately darkened again after hearing this, this is not a threat.

But what the Cui family thinks, Tong Chuxue doesn't care, she just thinks that everyone in the Cui family is an eyesore.

……

The backyard of Fuyuan Restaurant.

"I heard that you went to Cui Kee Restaurant today?" Luo Hui'an asked.

"Why are you so well-informed?" Tong Chuxue was surprised, Luo Hui'an seemed to be the first to know anything about her.

"It's not difficult." Luo Hui'an smiled, did not explain, and said, "Do you want to swallow Cui Ji Restaurant?" ”

Tong Chuxue was even more surprised at this time, it was not difficult to know her whereabouts, but it was not so easy to guess her thoughts, "You can see it." ”

"It's not difficult to guess, I heard that Uncle Lizheng has been cultivating new fields and building pig houses, such a large supply, a restaurant obviously can't consume it, I guess you may want to swallow all the Cui family's restaurants, and then let the meat and vegetables in the village be directly supplied to the restaurant." Luo returned to Andao.

Tong Chuxue smiled, acquiescing to Luo Hui'an's statement.

"I sometimes think that if you were the head of a place, you would make a difference." Luo Hui'an looked at Tong Chuxue seriously.

"Well, I'm not interested in being an official, I just hope that the life of the people in the village will be better. There is a saying, accumulate yin virtue. Tong Chuxue was making excuses.

In fact, she can't tell how far she wants to go, she just thinks that the process of work can bring her pleasure and help the villagers of Qingshan Village.

"However, although the Cui family's bribery of the cook this time was unsuccessful, it is still worth being vigilant." Luo Hui An Zhengse.

Tong Chuxue nodded, "Our cooks are all from Qingshan Village, and they know that Cui Ji's actions are harming the interests of the village, so they confessed to me as soon as possible, and when there are more and more people in the future, we really need to find ways to avoid this kind of risk, and we can't rely on self-consciousness every time." ”

Tong Chuxue froze when she thought about people, didn't speak, and just started to be stunned.

Luo Hui'an didn't urge her, just accompanied her.

It wasn't until Xu Jinniang came over to call the two of them to eat that Tong Chuxue came back to her senses like waking up from a big dream.
