Chapter 141: Inseparable
When I arrived at the shop, the spices on the shelves were neatly placed, and Qian Qianqian started from the outermost and looked at them one by one, until she looked at all the spices, and found nothing abnormal.
Boss Chen was originally in the fabric business, so he was used to comparing guests again and again, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with Qian Qianqian's behavior of flipping through and checking, but a dark light flashed in Ah Sheng's eyes.
He stepped forward a few steps, stopped behind Qian Qianqian, his eyes fell on her hand looking at the spices, and asked faintly: "What does Boss Qian want are the spices from the past?" I remember that Boss Qian might as well sit down and rest, or I'll find Boss Qian. ”
Qian Qianqian shook her hand, turned around and pulled the corners of her mouth: "No, I want to come out with a new recipe this time, but I always feel that there are a few flavors missing, and I have to smell it myself to find out." ”
"Oh?" Boss Chen was curious: "Has Boss Qian found those flavors?" ”
"Not yet." Qian Qianqian said: "Boss Chen doesn't have to worry about me, I'll just look for it slowly by myself." ”
Qian Qianqian believes that the reason why the old man left should be inseparable from the spice shop.
If he really has a clear conscience, then even if he wants to leave, he will hang up the shop, clearly mark the price, and let people buy it.
This shop, the deed, the title deed plus the spices in the shop, three hundred taels of silver is far more than that, and the old man is in a hurry to throw it away like a troublemaker, and he is still looking for a buyer in private, which shows that he has a weak heart, and he can only act in secret.
He's hiding from something.
Qian Qianqian tried to find a problem in the spices, but she didn't find anything wrong after smelling all the spices, and Ah Sheng kept following her closely, always paying attention to her every move.
After smelling the last spice, Qian Qianqian's nose was itchy, and all kinds of heavy spices lingered around, she rubbed her nose and sighed helplessly.
Boss Chen poked his head out, and his round head was quite blessed at first glance.
"Boss Qian still hasn't found it?"
Qian Qianqian shook her head, unable to hide her regret: "No." ”
When Boss Chen heard this, how could he disappoint such a big customer!
He patted his leg and said, "Ah Sheng, take out the spices in the warehouse, that's not our latest type of spices!" ”
"Oh, the latest?" Qian Qianqian stopped rubbing her nose, her eyes widened.
Boss Chen's face showed smugness: "It's not that I'm old Chen bragging, I guarantee that Boss Qian will definitely never see it." ”
As he spoke, ignoring Ah Sheng, who stopped next to him and refused to move, Boss Chen personally led Qian Qianqian to the warehouse in order to prove himself.
In order to keep it dry, the warehouse is ventilated all around, and there are a few shelves like the outside furnishings, but the shelves in the warehouse are more simple, as if they were randomly cut a few pieces of wood on the mountain, unlike the shelves outside that have been delicately polished.
Boss Chen took out a wooden box from the corner, and the wooden box was divided into twelve small boxes by small wooden boards, and each small box contained a kind of spice.
The moment Boss Chen lifted the wooden box, Qian Qianqian was stunned.
These spices have a strange appearance and a peculiar taste, and you don't need to smell them closely, there is a strong spicy smell from afar.
Qian Qianqian covered her nose tightly, her face changed greatly, and she left the warehouse in a few steps, and soon Boss Chen also came out of the smiling warehouse: "How about it, Boss Qian has never seen this kind of spice." ”
"I haven't seen it, I haven't seen it." Qian Qianqian waved her hand again and again: "This sudden choking me can't do it, I have to ask to take a rest first, and I will entrust someone to buy the spices." ”
After speaking, Qian Qianqian covered her mouth and ran out of the spice shop, and not far away, Qian Qianqian stopped suddenly, and looked back, revealing two gray clothes corners in the miscellaneous trees on both sides of the shop.
Qian Qianqian shouted: "Come out." ”
No one answered, Qian Qianqian paused here for a while and returned to the hot pot restaurant.
"Tumber, come on."
As soon as Qian Qianqian entered the door and sat down, she immediately called Tongbo over.
Tong Bo also has a little study of spices, and he can name all kinds of spices, Qian Qianqian put the spices he took out in front of Tong Bo: "Tong Bo, can you tell what kind of spices this is?" ”
Tumber twisted it with his hand, sniffed it with his nose, frowned, and said, "Where did the girl get these spices?" ”
"What's wrong? Are these spices harmful? ”
Tong Bo frowned and sighed: "Not only harmful, but also harmful. ”
"This spice is called ecstasy fruit, which grows savagely and has a strong taste, so it was once very popular in every household. However, after eating for a long time, people find that this spice has a certain toxicity, and excessive consumption will cause symptoms such as stroke and hemiplegia, so this spice has become a prohibited substance and is prohibited from being sold. ”
Although it is forbidden, some people are greedy for profit, this spice reproduces quickly, and the taste is good, most people do not know it, so it is not surprising that some merchants have the audacity to secretly sell it.
Tong Bo secretly scolded a few words of the spicy merchant, never thought that Qian Qianqian would come back to his senses from his stunnedness, and asked in the first sentence: "In other words, only too much consumption will cause serious illness?" Eating it in small quantities doesn't have a problem? ”
Tong Bo thought that Qian Qianqian had the idea of adding this kind of spice to the hot pot base, so he stood up in fright, looked left and right at no one, and cried and said: "Girl, don't worry about this spice, although it is cheap and tastes great, it not only poisons people's bodies, but also has a certain degree of addiction." ”
Qian Qianqian was stunned again when she heard this, and there is addiction?
She took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, leaning back in her chair with her eyes closed.
"Don't worry, I'll only stay away from these harmful things."
Only then did Tong Bo put his mind at ease and smiled with satisfaction, he was worthy of being the owner of their hot pot restaurant, and he was a good-hearted person at first glance.
Tongbo sent a plate of fruit to Qian Qianqian, and did not ask about the spices again, but returned to his smiling appearance and greeted the guests with cashiers.
It didn't take long for two strangely behaved guests to arrive.
Both of them were dressed in gray, men in their early twenties, and the two were clubbed at the door of the hot pot restaurant, with complicated expressions on their faces. The two of them looked at the clean floor of the hot pot restaurant, and then looked down at the dry mud on their shoes, not daring to step in.
Qian Qianqian's afterglow swept to the two of them, raised her voice and said, "The one who comes is a guest, the two guest officers please come in." ”
Following the sound, the two found that it was the woman they had seen this morning, the two glanced at each other, held their breath and stepped lightly on the ground, and came to Qian Qianqian.
Qian Qianqian noticed the movements of the two, and didn't say anything, but poured two cups of tea: "Please sit down, what's the matter, let's sit down and talk slowly." ”
The two pursed their mouths, and suddenly knelt down with a puff: "Please also ask Boss Qian to help!" ”
Someone was already looking over here, and Qian Qianqian hurriedly asked the two of them to get up: "Hurry up, it's not good to attract the attention of others." ”
The two of them got up at this time, and their tense spirits for several days in a row collapsed at the moment they sat down, and the two of them said with red eyes: "That spice is not a good person." ”
It turned out that since two months ago, their father had been greedy for Ecstasy Fruit, and since then he has been out of control, and he has to have this Ecstasy Fruit to taste it.
Ecstasy fruit is cheap, so the family buys it according to him, but a month later, at noon one day, they forgot to put ecstasy fruit, and their father suddenly convulsed and fell to the ground, and the words in his mouth were all ecstasy.
The two brothers found the spice seller, and the owner of the shop repeatedly prevaricated, and finally under the pressure of several victims, he admitted that it was his family's spice problem, and promised to give the money to cure the patient's illness.
But they didn't wait for the money, but they waited for the bad news of the death of their loved ones.
Several families angrily approached the shop owner, who gave a three-day deadline, promising to give a satisfactory answer, begging them not to make a big deal about it, otherwise they would not get any compensation.
The two brothers didn't want to, but the helpless mother was right, as soon as the dead closed their eyes, the living people had to live while kneeling and crawling.
Therefore, if there is really a compensation that satisfies them, it is not impossible to solve the matter.
Qian Qianqian listened to the ins and outs of everything, but she was confused: "Since you have already made a decision, what can I do for you?" ”
"The owner of the shop said that he was going to collect money and asked someone to help guard it, but we always felt that this matter was a bit strange, so we wanted Boss Qian to help check it."
Qian Qianqian understood what the two meant, she glanced at the two of them faintly and said, "No need to check, the owner of the spice shop is about to run away, and he has already sold the shop to the current Boss Chen." ”
"What?" The two brothers got up suddenly, blushed and said angrily: "He wants to abscond in fear of crime? ”
Qian Qianqian shook her head and said, "If you don't report to the official, he will not be guilty." ”
Seeing that the two of them were still hesitant and did not move, Qian Qianqian said in a timely manner: "It's still too late to go, he lives in the inn, but if it's late, I'm afraid the two of you will be empty." ”
"Thank you Boss Qian for your advice, let's go to the official!"
The two brothers left with red eyes, Qian Qianqian glanced at Xiao Er in the store, and Xiao Er hurried over.
"You go and call Boss Chen from the spice shop, and say I'm going to talk to him about business."
Xiao Er should go down and hurry to inform.
Qian Qianqian took a sip of tea, thinking that Boss Chen's wife is a good one, help Boss Chen with this, and buy fabrics at his house in the future, and she should be able to choose them tightly.
Thinking like this, Qian Qianqian picked up the pen and began to draw a new skirt style.
Since the new officials have been replaced, from the county to the town, and from the town to the township, the efficiency of work has been getting better and better, and it cannot be compared with the past.
Qian Qianqian's skirt style had just been designed, and she raised her eyes to look through the window, and the owner of the spice shop was being pressed away.
Well, things worked out quickly.
But why didn't Boss Chen come?
As soon as the doubts in Qian Qianqian's heart arose, a pungent voice came from the door: "Where is your boss Qian?" Let her get out of here! ”
Qian Qianqian unhurriedly packed up the things on the table and didn't go out, because according to Mrs. Chen's temper, she would naturally break in.
Sure enough, not long after sitting down, there was a loud bang, and Mrs. Chen kicked the door open, and appeared in front of Qian Qianqian with Boss Chen's ears menacingly.
