Qiang Shun replied: "Go to the mountains to dig ginseng!" ”

"What?" I was just stunned.

Qiang Shun repeated again, "Digging ginseng, two people dug in the mountains for a day and a night." ”

"Digging ginseng for a day and a night?" I couldn't believe my ears anymore and asked in disbelief, "What is this mountain...... Ginseng? ”

"Yes!" Qiang Shun said with great certainty: "I also looked at it, more than a dozen!" ”

"What, a dozen?" I really didn't believe my ears, and asked suspiciously: "I'm afraid it's not ginseng that they dug up, it's not that ginseng is very rare, many people can't dig one in the mountains all year round, how can the two of them dig so much at once?" ”

Qiang Shun said: "It's really ginseng, Chen Daochang told me personally, those ginseng were tied with red rope and wrapped in red cloth for him, and I opened it to look at it." ”

I immediately frowned, is there really ginseng in this ghost place of poor mountains and bad waters, doesn't it mean that it is only found in those deep mountains and old forests. Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if there is really one here, don't their local people know, and the few people who occupied the mountain before are afraid that they often go to the mountain, so they didn't find it? Besides, it is difficult for others to dig one a year, but Chen Daochang and the two of them only spent a day and a night digging up a dozen? Is this possible, it's just a fantasy.

Qiang Shun said: "Daochang Chen wants to use these ginseng to exchange with our boss for sable, but stop me." ”

Hearing Qiang Shun say this, I quickly came back to my senses, no longer bothered about those ginsengs, and I asked, "What happened later?" ”

"Later......" Qiang Shun grinned weirdly and laughed strangely, "Later, I told Daochang Chen that there was no need to change it, the sable ran away by itself last night, and Daochang Chen and the two of them took the ginseng back." ”

Hearing Qiang Shun say this, I breathed a sigh of relief, that's fine, as long as the two of them are fine, look at Qiang Shun, I laughed with him, I also raised my hand and patted Qiang Shun's shoulder, it's really good, it's really close to Zhu is red, close to ink is black, so soon I learned to lie.

took out a cigarette from his body, handed it to Qiang Shun, and I asked again, "Have you talked to the chef brother, what is the matter with his daughter?" ”

Qiang Shun lit the cigarette, took a hard puff, and said, "Ask, but ...... The big brother didn't say anything to me...... Immediately, Qiang Shun glanced at me, showed a very strange expression, and said, "The big brother said...... He wants to meet you tonight. ”

"What? You want to meet me, why? ”

Qiang Shun shook his head, "The eldest brother said that he wants to have a treat tonight, and when you get off work, ask me to invite you over." ”

When I heard this, I couldn't understand it anymore, and I asked, "I don't know him well, why did he invite me to come over?" ”

Qiang Shun took another puff of cigarette and said, "I don't know about this, and he didn't tell me, but I see that he got up early in the morning today, as if he had something on his mind, and he was very unhappy." ”

Hearing Qiang Shun say this, I muttered in my heart, what did this big brother ask me to do, I saw him for the first time yesterday, and I had a relationship with him, he drank too much at the time, whether he can remember me or not is not necessarily, today he actually invited me over, it should not be to ask me to tell him ghost stories, there must be something.

I rubbed my forehead, I didn't care what happened to him first, I will know when I passed tonight, and I asked Qiang Shun again: "How is your boss today, after finding that the sable is gone, did you lose your temper?" ”

Qiang Shun blinked his eyes twice and replied: "Our boss didn't come to work today, and called the restaurant in the morning, saying that he was not feeling well, and asked the chef to take care of the restaurant......"

"Not feeling well?" Yesterday let go of the sable, today he is uncomfortable, it can't be such a coincidence, I can't help but have a guess in my heart, but I didn't say anything.

After the two of them finished smoking the cigarettes in their hands, they each went back to their respective hotels.

In the blink of an eye, it was night. Strange to say, the business in our hotel is particularly good today, with a steady stream of customers, and the restaurant in Qiangshun seems to be not very good, and it is obviously much more deserted than usual.

After getting off work in the evening, Qiang Shun came to the door of our hotel for the first time and waited for me, and I used to wait for him. By the time I finished my work in the hotel and came out of the hotel, it was already past one o'clock in the night.

As soon as the two of them met at the door of the hotel, Qiang Shun couldn't wait to pull me up, "Why are you so slow today, let's leave quickly, that big brother has been waiting for you for two hours!" ”

I asked, "Is he still on duty tonight?" ”

Qiang Shun replied: "Swap shifts with another chef, specially invited you." ”

When the two of them walked to the door of Qiangshun's hotel, I remembered something and asked Qiangshun: "Has anyone in your hotel found that the sable is missing?" ”

Qiang Shun replied: "No one found out, but the chef found out with me." ”

I asked again: "What was the reaction of the chef when he found out that the sable was missing?" ”

Qiang Shun paused, "It doesn't seem to be any reaction, I'm still strange, he saw the empty cage as if he didn't see it, he didn't see it, I just thought I didn't see it." ”

I frowned suddenly, this is not normal, he visited the store last night, and he lost something in the store, can he still act like he is fine?

The whole hotel was lit up, and it was cleaned, but there was no one left.

I walked through the antechamber to the kitchen, where the lights were also on, and the curtain was open to one side, and I looked inside, and it was still the same small table from yesterday, but this time it was no longer two dishes, five dishes, and two bottles of wine were placed next to it.

The chef's eldest brother was sitting at the table at this time, his head lowered, looking preoccupied, and Qiang Shun smiled at him, "Big brother, I'll invite the Yellow River here." ”

When the chef heard this, he slowly raised his head, first looked at Qiang Shun, and then looked at me, and I also looked at him, and saw that his face was a little dark, as if he was very unhappy.

The chef brother hurriedly stood up from the stool, obviously, he cheered up and smiled at me, "Brother Huanghe is here......" As soon as the chef spoke, I frowned, and my voice was hoarse, as if I had lost my voice due to a cold.

"Come on, come on, come in and sit."

Qiang Shun smiled and winked at me, and the two of them entered the room and sat opposite the chef's big brother.

The chef immediately sighed inexplicably, picked up the wine bottle, unscrewed the lid, and poured a glass for me and Qiang Shunman, "Come, drink." As he spoke, he filled his own cup.

I looked at the table, and there were five dishes on the table, except for one scrambled egg, and the other four were all meat, which was quite hearty.

The chef picked up the wine glass, and the two of us hurriedly picked it up, and the three of us touched the glass lightly, but the chef didn't say anything, frowned and drank the wine in the glass, which seemed to be more ruthless than yesterday, as if he had a grudge against the wine in the cup.

I turned my head and glanced at Qiang Shun, Qiang Shun couldn't drink a lot of wine at that time, only drank a third of the wine in the cup, I said in my heart, this big brother is worried, what is the reason? Is it because of his daughter's ghost, he shouldn't know?

At this time, the chef beckoned the two of us to eat meat, pressed the wine, Qiang Shun picked up the chopsticks and sandwiched a piece of pig's head meat, threw it in the mouth and chewed it, I sandwiched a piece of beef, put it on the side of the mouth and was just about to bite, the nostrils suddenly smelled a strange smell, and quickly looked at the beef on the chopsticks, the color looked very normal, and put it under the nose and sniffed it carefully, it was the smell of this piece of beef.

I looked up at the chef opposite, and saw that he also had a piece of beef, and without even looking at it, he put it in his mouth and ate it, looking unaware.

I quickly cleared my throat, disguised my movements, and quietly put the beef back on the plate, and then I asked the chef, "Big brother, is there anything wrong with you inviting me over today?" ”

The chef brother heard me ask him, paused, and smiled at me again, "No, it's nothing, it's just that your brother is pleasing to the eye and wants to have a drink with you, come, drink!" As he spoke, he raised his glass to me.

I didn't reach out to take my cup, but glanced at him calmly, and the chef immediately moved his throat and said, "Even if it ...... Even if there's anything going on, we'll talk about it when we're done drinking. ”

I said, "Big brother, just tell me what you have to do, and when we're all drunk, we'll all be drunk, and what can we talk about?" ”

Hearing me say this, this big brother actually ignored me anymore, and raised his wine glass to Qiangshun, "Come to Qiangshun, let's drink." ”

Qiang Shun picked up his wine glass and touched him, and the eldest brother tilted his neck and poured the wine in the glass again, it seemed that he wanted to get drunk quickly.

Qiang Shun also drank most of the cup, and waved his hand to greet me, "Yellow River, such a good dish, why don't you eat it, you taste the pig's head meat, it's delicious." ”

"I'm eating." I hurriedly answered, stretched out my chopsticks and grabbed a piece of pig's head meat, but when I put it to my mouth and was about to bite, I smelled a strange smell in my nostrils.

I suddenly became suspicious, quietly put the pig's head meat back, sandwiched the other two meat dishes and sniffed them one by one, five plates of meat dishes, except for the plate of scrambled eggs, the others were all a strange smell, not to mention eating, put it under the nose to smell a little disgusting.

At this time, the chef picked up the wine glass again, and wanted to clink glasses with me, but I couldn't shirk it, so I had to hold up my own wine glass, Qiang Shun also picked it up, and the three of them touched the quilt together.

After the touch, the chef drained the wine in one gulp, and I barely took a small sip, and then the two of them took the meat on the table and ate it in a big gulp.

Seeing this, I immediately swallowed my saliva dryly, and plucked up the courage to say to the chef: "Big brother, I want to ask you something, don't be upset." ”

The chef was stunned for a moment and stopped his chopsticks, "You ask, it's okay to ask anything." ”

I said, "How many days have you been preparing these dishes?" ”

The chef's eldest brother was stunned again and said, "This is a dish that was only served yesterday in the evening." ”

I asked, "Have you been in the freezer all this time?" ”

The chef replied: "Yes, there are few customers today, otherwise it would have been sold out today, what's the matter, is it that I don't make it delicious?" ”

"No, no, no." I hurriedly waved my hand, laughed dryly, and said, "I think, these meats ...... It seems that everything has deteriorated, and there is a smell on it. ”

"What?"

When the chef and Qiang Shun heard this, the two of them quickly picked up each dish on the table and sniffed them one by one.

Then, Qiang Shun said to me blankly: "Huanghe, you have something wrong with your nose, where is the smell, you smell it again, it is fragrant!" ”

I glanced at Qiang Shun and pointed at the plate of scrambled eggs, "This plate of eggs doesn't smell, and the rest of the eggs are all stinky and can't be eaten." ”

The chef and Qiang Shun immediately looked at each other, seeing the two of them like this, I blinked my eyes twice, could it be that there is really something wrong with my nose?

The two of them sniffed all the meat dishes one by one, and the chef muttered, "There is no smell......

Qiang Shun echoed and said, "I don't smell it." Then he said to me, "Huanghe, if you don't want to eat, you can just eat eggs." As he spoke, Qiang Shun picked up two pieces of pig's head meat and put them in his mouth and chewed them.

I immediately frowned, tried to pick up another piece of pig's head meat and put it under my nose to smell, it still smelled strange, seeing that Qiangshun ate so fragrant, I couldn't help but churn in my stomach, and I almost didn't vomit.

What the hell is going on?
