Chapter 3: Truth 3

Huang Zhigao talked about his concept of creating a big bowl of cuisine, saying that the inspiration came from his master Liu Qing (that is, Zhu Zhong).

He has always remembered what Master said back then.

The reason why Zhu Zhong's restaurant had a good business back then was not because of how popular Zhu Zhong's cooking skills were, it was a miracle that a chef taught by a rural banquet could get on the table.

It's because of the positioning of the restaurant, and the prices are all close to the people.

Huang Zhigao said: "We were really poor at that time, before the demolition, most of the villagers survived by catching the sea, raising seaweed on the seaside, planting kelp, and the better people had fishing boats, but going to sea also depended on the sky, and if you were lucky, you could have a good harvest, and if you were unlucky, you would have to lose a lot of money if you came back from the sea."

Master said that he was also a person who had come through hardship, and there were times when he couldn't afford to eat. Therefore, his purpose in opening this restaurant is to make ordinary people usually afford to go to the hotel, and will not regard going to the restaurant as a luxury. ”

When Xiao Mo asked Huang Zhigao what he thought of the restaurant fire that year, Huang Zhigao's expression instantly darkened.

"He said that he was a master, but in fact he was his cousin-in-law, they were all a family, they were humble, and they never quarreled with others. On the day of the fire, by the time I arrived at the restaurant, the whole building was already on fire. Master's family lives on the second floor. I wanted to rush upstairs to save them, but it couldn't be, the fire burned half the sky, and people couldn't rush in. By the time the fire was extinguished, the entire building was left with empty shelves. ”

"Before you leave work, do you remember that there was soup on the stove in the kitchen?"

"During that time, my wife was doing confinement, and after the last table of guests every day had all the dishes, I went home early, and I don't know if there was any stew."

"Do you think it's possible that it's man-made? Before the fire, did you think there was anything unusual about your master? ”

"Artificial? It shouldn't be possible, because my eldest niece was in the third year of junior high school in those days. In two months, I took the high school entrance examination, and Master's mind was on my eldest niece at that time, and I didn't find anything wrong. ”

When Huang Zhigao said this, he let out a long sigh.

"Alas...... The police said that Master was a murderer, but I didn't believe it at all, how could such a good person be a murderer? He usually struggles to kill a fish in a restaurant, how can he kill someone? The police must have found the wrong person. ”

"Was there anything wrong with the staff in the restaurant at the time?"

"No, it's normal. The three waiters are all young girls in their twenties, and they look heartless all day long, so there can be no problem. ”

"What about the two little brothers in the kitchen?"

"They're supposed to be fine!"

"What do you mean by should?"

"Adian, I was absent-minded in those two days, and I didn't seem to wake up. I criticized him a few times, and he also retorted to me. But this has nothing to do with Master's family. ”

"Do you know how Adian is doing?"

"He has five brothers, he is the youngest in the family, and there are only three bungalows in the family. The five brothers are not very hardworking, and their lives are not very good. After the fire broke out in the restaurant, I realized that he and the waiter Xiaoqing were in love.

Xiaoqing is a girl in the mainland, very lively, after Xiaodian got along with her, Adian moved out of the house. Later, I heard that Adian went to Xiaoqing's hometown to develop.

When the village was demolished the year before last, I saw him once, and he didn't mix very well. Their family's bungalow was demolished and divided equally among the five brothers, and there was not much money in their hands. I asked him if he wanted to work in my company, and he didn't even think about refusing, and I haven't seen him since. ”

"What about Amin? How is he now? ”187

"Amin, this kid, the mud can't hold up the wall. When he was learning to cook, he looked like he was hanging Erlang, but compared with Adian, he was smarter than Adian, and he could do it at all.

After the restaurant went yellow, he never did anything serious anymore and became addicted to gambling. After the demolition of the village, his family also divided millions of demolition money, but gambling is a thing, and it is difficult to quit if you stick to it.

Half a year ago, I saw that he was not a person all day long, so I called him to come to work in my company. Who knew that he didn't work for a few days, and he secretly cheated money outside to pull franchisees. The money was used for gambling again. I also came to the door to find out that this kid was hopeless, and I didn't bother to care about him, so I left him to fend for himself. ”

"Do you know where he lives now?"

"In the Star Garden demolition and resettlement house, he lives with his mother."

"Can you still contact those two waiters? What about the aunt who washes the dishes? ”

"Xiaoqing, I don't know. There is also a Li Chunxiang, who is now the manager of my main store. Another swallow has not been in touch. Aunt Liu, Chunxiang has always been in contact with her, they are from the same place. I heard Chunxiang say that Aunt Liu fell ill and passed away last year. ”

"Did they have any conflicts with their bosses at that time?"

"Probably not."

Before leaving, Huang Zhigao suddenly remembered something and stopped Xiao Mo.

"Now that I think about it, there's something really unusual."

"You say."

"On the first day of Master's accident, a young man came to the shop. At that time, there was a shortage of vegetable students in the store, so a job advertisement was posted on the door. The young man came to work for a day and never came back. ”

"Remember what his name was? Where are you from? ”

"At that time, it was interviewed by the master, I don't know where he was from, but everyone called him Xiaobai, he spoke with a strong dialect flavor, as if it was the accent of Yunnan-Guichuan, and the waiter in the store Yanzi was from Guizhou, which was a bit similar to the accent he spoke. The two people also use dialects when they communicate. ”

"Did he know why he didn't come the next day?"

"I don't know, how many young people can endure hardships now? The turnover of people in the catering industry is already very large, and he is not bad, and he worked for one night. There are also people who have been working for an hour or two and then running away. ”

………………

The main store of Dawancai is in the city center, and the scale is not small, and it is a fast-food chain.

It was lunch time, and there were a lot of people in the store.

Indeed, as Huang Zhigao said, the price is close to the people, probably because of this reason, business has been good!

Xiao Mo lined up in the queue to get a few dishes for himself, found an inconspicuous corner, and after finishing the meal, the customers in the store were almost scattered.

Li Chunxiang, slightly chubby, has the demeanor of a store manager, and acts quickly and quickly. The lobby is full of people, but the employees are all in their posts unhurried and organized.

After Xiao Mo revealed his identity and explained his intentions, Li Chunxiang's eyes instantly turned red.

"It's been a few years, and every time I think about what happened that year, I still feel bad," she said. I'm not afraid of your jokes, after that, I moved many times, but every time I lived there couldn't be an anti-theft window, I was afraid that there would be a fire and I couldn't escape. Don't talk about adults, children, it's really pitiful, especially the boss's youngest daughter Huang Miaomiao, what a cute little girl, smart and clever, like a baby. ...... at a young age."
