Chapter 22 I don't know what to do
"How can there be such a reason, Tilt, I bought your restaurant for your own good, if this kind of thing happens, who will dare to go to your restaurant in the future, you still don't know what to do," Liu Yiyuan said with spittle.
"Hehe," Liu Qian laughed lightly, with a hint of sarcasm on the corner of his mouth, "Since my father thinks about me so much, it is also appropriate to help my daughter deal with the poisoning." "
Liu Yiyuan was so angry that he brushed his sleeves away, and Liu Tian sent the patriarch back and breathed a sigh of relief.
Next, it's time to find out the truth.
Lin Feng and Liu Tian discussed it and felt that the problem should be the seafood supplier, and the two decided to go to him to confront him face to face.
Seeing Liu Lean, the little fishermen subconsciously wanted to escape.
Lin Feng's eyes were quick, and he lifted the man's back collar with his uninjured arm, "Want to run?" "
"Big brother, big brother...... The fisherman was suddenly frightened and his legs weakened, and he hurriedly begged for mercy, "The little one is also confused for a while, and he shouldn't do such a bad thing." "
Liu Tian and Lin Feng glanced at each other, nodded tacitly, it seems that this fisherman is also a bad seed, so he confessed without asking much.
The fishermen who live on the edge of the sea all rely on this sea for food, usually eat the last meal but not the next, and live in low thatched huts, and there are few things in them.
Liu Tian walked into the house and saw the sachet on the bed at a glance, she walked over, grabbed the sachet in her hand, put it under her nose and smelled it, it was indeed the fragrance on Zhao Manrou's body.
"Whose is this for?" She put the sachet in front of the fisherman and asked with a cold face.
"Yes...... Mrs. Liu's," the fisherman's face was as pale as earth, "she came to me that day and asked me to send the sea cucumber and abalone that I couldn't eat to the restaurant, and after the deed was done, give me five taels of silver, and I was fascinated by money for a while, so I agreed......"
Liu Tian put away the sachet and said, "What you said, can you go to the government to say this?" "
The fishermen were most afraid of seeing officials, and when they heard Liu Tian's words, they were so frightened that they couldn't say anything, "This is ...... Miss, don't be embarrassed for me...... I haven't spent the money yet, I'll give you all ......."
"I don't want silver, if you're willing to testify, I'll give you fifty taels of silver," Liu tilted her chin, although fifty taels of silver was a lot, but as long as her restaurant opened, it was only a matter of time.
Hearing fifty taels, the fisherman's dark face showed surprise, just by fishing by himself, he couldn't earn fifty taels in a lifetime, with these fifty taels, his wife could go to treatment, and the second child in the family could also go to school, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and looked at Liu Tian hesitantly, "Do you only need me to testify?" "
"Yes, it only takes you to testify," Liu tilted his head, "I promise, you will come back unscathed." "
As he spoke, Liu took out a fifty-tael silver ticket from his pocket and handed it to the fisherman.
The fisherman took the money with trembling hands, gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go tell my mother-in-law." "
County office.
Liu Tian brought the fishermen to the county order, handed over the sachet found from the fisherman's house to the county order, stood in the hall, and said confidently, "My lord, now that the human and material evidence are there, you can give me a clean slate." "
Seeing the sachet, the county magistrate frowned and stopped talking.
This Zhao Manrou can't do things cleanly, and she has to let herself wipe her ass.
He had no choice but to leave the court first and wait for tomorrow to discuss it.
On the second day, Liu Tian and Lin Feng came to the county office early in the morning, waiting to see how the county order would judge.
Shocked, the county commander glared and said, "Come on, bring the suspect up." "
A middle-aged woman was brought up, and before she could speak, the county magistrate said above, "Boldly Diao Min, you actually colluded with fishermen to frame the shopkeeper of the restaurant, causing so many people to be poisoned, are you guilty?" "
The woman kneeling in the hall had obvious unwillingness in her eyes, she opened her mouth, and finally closed her eyes helplessly, "I admit it." "
Liu Qian frowned and looked at the scene in front of him coldly.
Obviously, the sachet can completely identify Zhao Manrou, but the county order does not mention the sachet at all, and at the critical moment when the case can be closed yesterday, there are still doubts about the sudden shirk of the case, and he insists on withdrawing from the court and delaying it until the next day, all of which makes Liu Tian have to wonder if the fat man with the fat head and big ears in front of him has any ulterior relationship with Zhao Manrou.
The case was finally clarified, and Liu Tian's restaurant resumed business, and as soon as the seal of the government was torn off, a large number of customers poured in.
"I haven't eaten anything right in the past two days, I just miss the seafood soup we have here," Guo Yuanwai rushed all the way from the suburbs, just to be able to taste the restaurant's food early.
Seeing that there were so many customers cheering her on, Liu Qian felt a warmth in her heart, she thought that after the last collective poisoning, she would have to spend ten days and half a month in the store before it could recover its former prosperity.
"Today is the day of the reopening of the restaurant, and all the dishes will be 60% off as a joy for the store, and it is also a thank you for your trust in the restaurant," Liu said with a smile on his face, looking at the full number of customers sitting below.
There was a lot of applause below, and there was not a single empty seat.
If it weren't for Lin Kaiji's sudden visit, Liu Tian would have forgotten that Mrs. Lin wanted to match herself and Lin Kaiji.
Looking at the young man with a purple crown and hair tied up in front of him and a silver shirt, if you ignore his grievances, he is an eye-catching son.
"Yo, isn't this Young Master Lin, it's really a rare guest," Liu Qian smiled on his face and let people in.
Lin Kaiji put away the resentment around him, showed a perfunctory smile, and said, "Don't dare to be, I came this time to learn from a teacher." "
Liu Tian almost suspected that there was something wrong with her ears, she glanced Lin Kaiji up and down, no matter what, she couldn't associate such a young master with ten fingers that didn't touch the spring water with those pots and pans.
"What teacher? What kind of art to learn? "
"Of course, I have learned cooking skills from you," Lin Kaiji walked directly past Liu Tian, sat down at the table, poured a cup of tea by himself, and drank it with relish.
Liu Qian looked at Lin Kaiji's back with an incredulous expression, and sighed, another child who was forced by his parents to study a popular major.
Lin Feng's eyes flashed, and he said softly, "Since Lin Gongzi intends to learn, you might as well agree to him." "
"This ......" Liu Qian looked at Lin Feng with some surprise, which eye did he see that Lin Gongzi wanted to learn cooking, obviously people were forced to do it well, if he was hooked up and down with cooking, it was an oil bottle that his pouting mouth could hang.
Liu Qian looked at Lin Kaiji, who was drinking tea, and turned around and turned to the kitchen.
Since the last poisoning incident, she has been particularly concerned about the freshness of the ingredients, not only signing a contract with the seafood supplier, but also setting the supply time to ensure that the restaurant can still use fresh ingredients in the case of continuous delivery.
It was time to deliver the seafood, and she had to go over and keep an eye on it.
Lin Feng followed closely behind her, not saying a word.
"What are you doing with me?"
She was a little confused, what does Lin Gongzi's learning of cooking have to do with him, how could he be so concerned?
"Lin Gongzi's matter, I think you can think about it, after all, Lord Lin has sent people here, whether he is the material or not, you should accept it," Lin Feng persuaded bitterly, "If Lin Kaiji is really not that material, if you let him taste the hardships himself, it is estimated that he will leave by himself without you saying it." "
Lin Feng said this, but what he thought in his heart was something else, as long as he had a good relationship with Lin Kaiji, Lin Chengfeng would be able to talk at that time, and maybe he could pass through Lin Chengfeng's bridge and catch the prince.
Liu Tian was a little upset by Lin Feng's chatter, so he said absent-mindedly perfunctorily, "Okay, okay, I'll teach the general line." "
After receiving a satisfactory answer, Lin Feng turned his head with confidence and returned to Lin Kaiji's private room.
"Here," Liu Qian unceremoniously threw a book to Lin Kaiji, "There are spices on it, the principle of the combination of ingredients, you take a closer look, I will come over to test it later, and see how your understanding is." "
After speaking, without waiting for Lin Kaiji to speak, he turned around and went back to the back kitchen to get busy.
Lin Kaiji got the book, flipped through two pages, yawned, closed the book, and fell asleep with the book on his pillow.
When Liu Tian came over, he saw such a scene.
"Lin Kaiji, wake up," Liu Tian poked Lin Kaiji's shoulder.
Lin Kaiji stretched out his eyelids and looked at Liu Tian with sleepy eyes, "You're here." "
Liu Qian looked like he didn't want to deal with him, and said with a straight face, "I'll ask three questions now, and you can answer them one by one." "
Lin Kaiji didn't look awake, wiped the corners of his mouth with his hand, and nodded carelessly.
"If you think that a 60-year-old man has a big birthday and invites you to a banquet, how do you choose the ingredients? How are natural flavors harvested? What is the ratio of spices in lo-mei? How to match ingredients when cooking seafood to ensure the umami of seafood without destroying the nutrition of seafood? "
Lin Kaiji rubbed his eyes, quite like a primary school student listening to the old gentleman's lecture in class, and said in a daze, "The old man has a big birthday, so he naturally wants to do something rich, just do whatever you want......
Lin Kaiji rambled nonsense, and then looked at Liu Tian with a blank look.
Liu Tian looked at him with a smile and said, "Lin Kaiji, let's say, did you come to me, did you want to come by yourself, or were you forced by Ling Zun to come?" "
Lin Kaiji touched his nose, looked like he was being seen through his heart, and said, "I'll tell you the truth, in fact, I don't like cooking, I want to do a great career in the court, and be able to protect the people of Li, this is where my ambition lies." "
Seeing Lin Kaiji finally open his heart, Liu Tian said with some relief, "Then you should pursue your ideals, some people don't know what they want to do all their lives, and when they are old, they understand it, but it's too late, you are now in the prime of life, since you have a dream, then chase your dream, don't give up your ideals and ambitions because of other people's opinions." "
