Chapter 132: Undercover Agent in Disguised Male Costume (2)
Zhao Runan's general experience when he was a child is somewhat similar to Xiaohui, they were both born in hardship, and later they all lost their hearts for various reasons, and grew up begging on the streets. So Zhao Runan usually treats Xiaohui very well and takes care of her like a big brother. Upon learning of Zhao Runan's death, Xiaohui was so sad that she fell seriously ill and couldn't get out of bed.
Aunt Ma, who has taken her in for many years, begged the shopkeeper to give her three days off, and slept on the hard kang all day after drinking the medicine yesterday, plus the high fever has just subsided, so Meng Hui felt sore and uncomfortable as soon as he came over here.
When I first arrived outside, the moon shadow was swaying, the breeze was gentle, Meng Hui got up and poured a pot of cool white open, and I felt that my spicy throat finally felt a lot better. "Today is the last day off, so according to Xiaohui's original plan, go to Yizhuang to collect Zhao Runan's body. If you don't manage it strictly, you may be able to check the injury. ”
Knowing that the eldest brother who has been with her for more than two years is a big sister, Xiaohui not only did not blame her for concealing and cheating, but was even more sad for her, and wanted to find a good place for her to be buried. This dynasty was not strict with women, and the women and girls in the people's homes could come out to work and earn money, but the cook's profession had never allowed women to do it since the beginning of history.
But Zhao Runan is very talented in this industry, and he has a solid foundation, and the master only needs to mention it a little bit every time, and she knows how to improve it better. In the two years that she worked as a cook in Tianxianglou, she was the most respected disciple and the most liked by the master.
Because of this, after her disguised as a man and doing undercover work for the full house were exposed, the master was so angry that he refused to report to the official, but just scolded her fiercely for eating inside and out, and asked her to pack up and leave Tianxianglou quickly to avoid the shopkeeper's change of mind.
After Zhao Runan was caught by the master and his brother, he honestly explained everything, and soon Xiaohui learned from Aunt Ma that Zhao Runan had been wandering outside pretending to be a man since he was a child, because he could earn some money for running errands. When he was nine years old, he found that he could eat enough to work in a restaurant, so he had the courage to work as a kitchen worker in the guest house.
From a small worker to a cook, from a cook to a chef, Zhao Runan spent eleven years.
She can achieve the ultimate in the master's requirements regardless of whether it is red or white, with exquisite knife work, excellent aesthetics, plus a high strength, and she is comfortable with the palm of her hand, and her pursuit of food taste even exceeds the requirements of the master.
In the past, the reason why she was not popular in the full hall was because she couldn't get serious recipes at all, and Mao Buba was notoriously disliked innovative dishes, and she couldn't play even if she had ideas.
Since coming to Tianxianglou two years ago, Zhao Runan has felt that she used to be a fish struggling in a small puddle, and finally came to a big lake for her to swim in. It's a pity that she is not allowed to exist in this large lake. Before leaving, she knelt outside the closed door of the master and kowtowed to thank him for his teaching and last forgiveness.
After she left, the master also seemed to be several years older.
"The people in the back kitchen of Tianxianglou are all quite emotional, the master has worked here all his life, and he is very loyal to the owner, if there is any other male disciple who is undercover, he will definitely be pulled by him to see the owner and let the official. But he is really good to Zhao Runan, and he has no time to commit the crime at all, so he should be able to rule out the suspicion of violent murder. ”
The grandfather of the master master worked in Tianxiang Building, and the descendants of his family continued to make it, and the recipes in the store have always been mastered by the master master.
This dynasty attached great importance to the secrecy of recipes, unlike modern times, where countless detailed versions of a dish could be found at random. If there is a dish called "Meng Hui braised pork" here, then it can only be that she Meng Hui alone knows the detailed recipe, and at most it will be passed on to the closest disciples, and leaking the recipe is a taboo in the industry. So Meng Hui had to doubt the master first.
"There are a total of eleven brothers in the back kitchen, and they all get along very well with Zhao Runan. The six cooks are not very old, and they are busy all day long, and they don't have the time or money to hire a carriage to hit people. The five big chef brothers are not sinister people, they are angry, most of them scold her to her face that she doesn't know what to do, and she doesn't even say a bad word behind her back. ”
There are often disagreements between the brothers and sisters who study art, and it is possible to be jealous that the master is good to Zhao Runan, and it is possible to be jealous of her high talent and fast learning.
However, the back kitchen of Tianxianglou seems to have been deliberately selected according to character, and everyone is dissatisfied and complaining about it on the bright side, and they really haven't poured each other because of these trivialities. As for the cleaning logistics team, it is even less likely to be suspicious.
Aunt Ma and Xiaohui are long-term workers in the store, and their relationship with Zhao Runan is like a family, even if they know that she betrayed Tianxianglou, they are full of regrets and sadness in their hearts, and they don't help the owner hate her. As for a few short-term working aunts who live in their own homes, they leave after doing things every day, and they are not close to the people in the store, so they are completely negligible.
"The back kitchen side can eliminate all of them anyway, but I don't know if the big owner will have the intention of destroying his mouth?" Zhao Runan claimed that he only gave a full house of three dishes, maybe the owner simply killed people in order to prevent her from spreading the word to the outside world.
Xiaohui has always only worked in the back kitchen, and she only knows that the shopkeeper who has a little relationship with Aunt Ma has a good character and is very easy-going. As for the junior two in front of her, she didn't know anything. Meng Hui didn't dare to make a decision easily, and planned to continue to observe and observe.
"Zhao Runan has no other social contacts outside, I think her death is either the people of Tianxianglou who killed her, or Mao Buba, who didn't get all the recipes, killed people in anger. I just don't know which one it is? ”
The mission card of the underworld will not go wrong, since it is said that the real culprit is unknown, it must not be an accidental car accident. No one knows what the carriage that killed Zhao Runan looks like, there are so many people driving out of the city every day, it is impossible for someone to interrogate the city defenders for this.
However, the horses and carts of this dynasty are still expensive, and it is impossible to throw them away when they run out, "The car made of wood will leave some traces when it hits someone, and it can't be eliminated in three days." Meng Hui looked outside and saw that no one was getting up, so he quietly went out and walked towards the stable behind Tianxiang Building.
Tianxianglou is the largest restaurant in Xijing City, with nine horses and nine luxury cars. Because there are often dignitaries and dignitaries in the store, occasionally there will be situations where they do not bring their own cars and horses, and if they drink too much, they need the handlebar in the store to send them home.
The business is not good, but there are always two horses in case of unexpected surprises, but most of the time they are used to come to the outskirts of the city to pull vegetables.
When Meng Hui touched the stable while it was dark, the handlebar type was snoring loudly in the hut, and she quietly crossed the horses to the back of the unfinished cart, rummaging through the blood and damage one by one.
Just as she was touching the wheels of the ninth, her hand suddenly touched another cold, rough hand.
