There is only one Nanjia restaurant under the name of Xufu, which is average in scale and mediocre in reputation. When Xu's father was alive, the profits were acceptable, but in the past two years, he has gradually lost money.

At first, the paper profit was decreasing, and then there was a continuous loss.

Xu Qinghe only said that profit and loss were common things before, so he didn't care much, and just reprimanded the shopkeeper of the restaurant.

Until last month, there was still a deficit in the account book sent by the shopkeeper Wang, and he became suspicious, so he asked Xu Ya to secretly investigate, but he didn't want to involve a bunch of angry pickles.

The next day, Xu Qinghe took Ayao and Xu Ya to his restaurant.

The shopkeeper Wang's eyes were sharp, and he immediately greeted him, and brought the three of them to the private room, and the guy slipped on a pot of good tea.

"I've had a few signature dishes, I haven't eaten them for a long time." Xu Qinghe said, his slender and white fingers gently rubbing the rim of the cup. He added in a warm voice, "Remember to let Master Su take charge." ”

Shopkeeper Wang originally responded with a smile on his face, but after hearing the latter sentence, he was stunned for a moment, and replied very quickly when he thought of something: "Of course, let Master Su be in charge, his cooking skills are the highest." With that, he withdrew.

Xu Yao stood next to him and asked, "Miss, do you want to report this matter to the official?" ”

"Naturally, I want to report it, but I want to find out first." Xu Qinghe said in a deep voice.

With a cup of tea, the dishes are served one after another. Shopkeeper Wang came in again and diligently introduced the taste and method of each dish to the young lady.

Xu Qinghe sat expressionlessly, Xu Yao hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Shopkeeper, you've been talking about this for a long time, and the young lady hasn't moved a single chopstick." Why don't you take a break from the side? ”

Shopkeeper Wang hurriedly stood aside in embarrassment.

Xu Qinghe picked up a small piece of pig's trotters, tasted it, and said to the shopkeeper Wang: "This is made by Master Su himself?" ”

Shopkeeper Wang nodded, "Yes." ”

"Send a guy to call him over, and I'll ask him in person." Xu Qinghe said.

Shopkeeper Wang stood still, "But this dish is not to Miss's taste?" I'm going to make people do it again. ”

Xu Qinghe threw the chopsticks on the table and reprimanded: "Isn't the shopkeeper Wang incomprehensible?" ”

Shopkeeper Wang immediately apologized and said, "Miss is angry, this dish is made by Master Lin." Master Su quit his job two months ago. ”

"The chef of the restaurant has changed, how come I don't know about such a big thing?" Xu Qinghe asked rhetorically.

Shopkeeper Wang was sweating profusely, and replied carefully: "This matter was originally going to be reported to Miss, but the little one saw that Master Nalin was a superb cook, and thought that Miss had a lot of affairs, so he didn't tell Miss about trivial matters. ”

Xu Yao almost wanted to cut open the head of the shopkeeper Wang to see what was inside, it was so stupid. The young lady obviously said that it was a big thing, but he replied that it was a small matter.

"It turns out that the change of the chef in the restaurant is a trivial matter in the eyes of the shopkeeper Wang." Xu Qinghe changed his words and said, "What is the matter with the losses in the past few months?" ”

The shopkeeper Wang hurriedly replied: "In the past six months, because of the repeated attacks on the border by Tibet, the people have been in panic every day, most of them have closed their doors and rarely go out. It's not just the restaurant business that's bad, it's also the same in other industries. If the young lady does not believe, let someone inquire and find out. ”

Xu Qinghe laughed angrily, "The shopkeeper Wang used this set of lame rhetoric to fool me, didn't he think that I was like that deep boudoir woman, and I didn't know about current affairs?" Or am I just a fool? ”

"I walk outside every day, and there is no part of Meizhou City that has been reduced by half because of Tubo!" Xu Qinghe said coldly, "Shopkeeper Wang should tell the truth!" ”

Where do you have the courage to tell the truth! Shopkeeper Wang forced himself to calm down and said, "Miss is angry. The little ones are thinking about turning a profit day and night......"

He was interrupted before he could finish his sentence. It's all at this juncture, and I'm still quibbling. Xu Yao shook his head and begged for more blessings!

"This restaurant was originally opened by my father on a whim, and I didn't expect you to earn money for the Xu family." Xu Qinghe said lightly, seeing that the shopkeeper Wang's tense expression relaxed, he said coolly: "But this loss-making business, what am I doing with it!" From tomorrow, the restaurant will be closed! ”

The shopkeeper Wang was frightened by the lady's fluttering words, the restaurant was closed, and his family drank the northwest wind! Not to mention the fact that there is also a bunch of usurious debts......

immediately knelt down and begged: "Miss, I promise to make a profit next month, please Miss don't close the restaurant." ”

Xu Qinghe said: "Rest assured, the Xu family will never owe the monthly money to the restaurant." ”

"The little one will dismiss Master Lin and beg the young lady not to close the restaurant!" The king's treasurer continued to struggle and plead.

"Shopkeeper Wang should take care of himself first!" Xu Qinghe listened impatiently to his crying and begging, and said indifferently, "Uncle Xu, kidnap people!" ”

Xu Ya strode forward and neatly tied the person into a ball. Shopkeeper Wang exclaimed, "Why did the young lady tie me up for no reason? The blue sky and the white sun, where is the king's law! ”

Xu Yao stepped forward and persuaded: "Shopkeeper, stop it!" Think about what you have done! Don't yell and annoy Miss. ”

Xu Qinghe didn't bother to pay attention to him, "And Master Lin, it's also tied up!" Grab a few guys and go with us! ”

Xu Ya hurried out, and after a while, he tied up someone.

Shopkeeper Wang looked at the situation in front of him, and wondered in his heart if the matter had been revealed? But they are so strict, how does the young lady know?

Xu Qinghe looked at Master Lin, who had three-dimensional and deep facial features, and secretly exclaimed in his heart: If this Master Lin is from Tubo, things will become more complicated.

In the Yali of Meizhou City, Shen Ye had just had lunch and was about to take a nap when he saw the county Cheng Linhai walking in.

"County Honor, Xu Fu handed over the lawsuit." Lin Hai handed over a stack of papers.

Shen Ye took it, opened it and browsed it, "Embezzlement of ten thousand taels of silver? The county man nodded.

"Where's the accuser?" The prefectural road is waiting in the lobby. Shen Ye went to change his official uniform and went to the main hall with the county officer.

As soon as Shen Ye entered, he saw Xu Qinghe standing there vividly.

As soon as he sat down, the shopkeeper of the hall was shouting injustice!

Shen Ye was shocked, and the hall was bluffed.

He asked in a deep voice, "Who is in the hall?" Why? ”

Xu Qinghe stepped forward and saluted: "Xu Qinghe, the daughter of the people, sued the shopkeeper of Nanjia Restaurant under the name of Xu Mansion, and his accomplice Master Lin, and the two of them embezzled about 30,000 taels of silver from Xu Mansion. ”

Shen Ye looked at the two people who were tied up on the ground, "Can you two confess?" ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly roared: "My lord, the little one is wronged! ”

Master Lin didn't seem to understand what the people around him were saying, so he just shook his head vigorously.

Xu Qinghe saw that they didn't give up until they reached the Yellow River, so he nodded to the lawyer behind him.

The lawyer took over the case of Xu Fu a few days ago, and all kinds of evidence have been collected.

At that moment, he raised the account book in his hand and said forward: "My lord, there are two account books here, one is sent to the Xu Mansion for Miss Xu's eyes, and the other is that the king's shopkeeper has a troubled conscience and privately records the amount of each embezzlement. ”
