Chapter 42: Malice

Do you want to see Mao Xiang?

To swing the big stick of the mandarin duck or not?

The stick must be wielded, and the sight must also be seen, if it is not seen, Ivan can only speak ill of him behind his back.

That's a villain's behavior, thinking that a woman like Dong Xiaowan with a blue heart will definitely be able to hear it.

That would be counterproductive.

But the problem is that Ivan is not ready.

What did you talk to him about when you saw Mao Xiang?

Poetry and songs?

To be a poetry plagiarist, as written in the novel, to pretend to be a merry genius, and then pretend to be in front of him, in order to crush him?

Ivan quickly abandoned the idea.

Merry geniuses are not so easy to pretend, poetry and poetry are a kind of accumulation of knowledge, this thing can be pretended for a while, but it can't be pretended for a lifetime.

Mao Xiang is one of the famous four sons of the late Ming Dynasty, and he is very talented and learned in this regard, and if he doesn't get it right, it will be easy to be exposed.

Besides, if Dong Xiaowan is addicted to listening to it and pulls himself to talk about poetry every day, then he will be annoyed to death.

The merry genius really can't pretend!

So what to do?

You can only see the tricks.

Ivan thought to himself, he is a person of later generations, and it is impossible to lose to this presumptuous person in terms of knowledge, and he will definitely find an opportunity to stumble on him and destroy his good impression in Dong Xiaowan's mind during the meeting.

Of course, some aspects of knowledge have to be made up, such as the background knowledge of the Ming Dynasty.

"Good. ”

Ivan agreed first.

He began to pack up the bottles and cans he had brought with him, ready to go to the kitchen.

He originally wanted to stay with Dong Xiaowan these things, but Dong Xiaowan insisted on him taking them away, saying that he was afraid that someone would steal them.

Alas, it's a pity that I have 100 points a day!

In desperation, Ivan had no choice but to keep the two knives that were sent to Dong Xiaowan and Tie Niu, and all the others were put into the system space.

But not to mention, this kind of thing that is rotten on the street in the future may not be picked up by anyone if it is thrown on the ground, but it is a treasure that is hard to find here, and if it is known by those with bad intentions, it is really dangerous.

Stealing is only light, and the heavy one can be murder for money.

Wealth moves people's hearts, and this is accurate anywhere.

In that case, let's explain it again.

"Anything that happens here in the future, including my treasures, as well as the soup dumplings and crystal shrimp dumplings making methods, don't leak it, otherwise there will be trouble. ”

Dong Xiaowan naturally didn't need to say anything, and immediately nodded in agreement.

Xiaocui doesn't have to worry too much, it was a personal girl brought by Dong Xiaowan from home.

As for Tie Niu, after Ivan forced the ten taels of silver to him, he had already regarded him as his own, and immediately agreed.

After packing up their things, Ivan and Iron Bull set off for the kitchen.

Because of the need to kill fish, the production of crystal shrimp dumplings can only be put on hold for a while.

However, the timing is just right, and when the fish is finished, the shrimp slides are almost chilled, and the follow-up work can be completed.

On the kitchen side, Chef Zheng was already waiting for the two of them.

"Where are you going?"

As soon as he saw the two of them, he asked with a calm face, and his tone was very unkind.

Ivan immediately felt full of malice, so he hurriedly replied: "I was called by Miss Dong to help make steamed buns." ”

In Qin Lou, Dong Xiaowan is a celebrity, and in order to avoid trouble, she must be pulled as a shield.

It seems that this shield is not enough.

Chef Zheng scolded again: "In the future, without my permission, you must not leave the kitchen at will, go to work quickly!"

Ivan was sure that it was indeed full of malice.

Why?

Could it be that the hot sale of Xiaowan buns has aroused the jealousy of Chef Zheng?

He guessed right.

According to the agreement reached between Chef Zheng and Qin Lou, he was hired here as a chef, and in addition to his fixed monthly salary, he could also share 10% of the income from the dishes he cooked.

This model is already very good for a chef, because the ingredients for cooking are all provided by Qin Lou, and he is also equipped with a small servant.

This kind of treatment is not yet available to ordinary chefs.

But if it is compared with the sharing treatment enjoyed by celebrities like Dong Xiaowan, it is still a little far behind.

The reason why Qin Lou gave such a high share to the celebrities was that in addition to the fact that the raw materials for the snacks and dishes made by the celebrities were prepared by the little sisters, it also had the nature of encouragement.

If the little sisters can make snacks for the owners to enjoy, this is another gimmick in addition to color art, and it is also good for adding to the fame of Qin Lou itself.

In fact, Qin Lou also knew that this was also a gimmick, don't expect those ladies to really make a sensational delicacy.

Dong Xiaowan's Xiaowan bun was an accident.

No one expected that Xiaowan buns would be so expensive and so sought-after.

Very profitable!

As soon as you make more money, some people will naturally start to be jealous.

Among them is Chef Cheng.

He originally thought that Dong Xiaowan's learning of cooking should be just a joke, and in order to win her favor, he would give a few words of advice from time to time.

But he didn't expect that Dong Xiaowan really made a delicious soup dumpling, and it was a big seller.

According to this trend, in terms of fame, the soup dumplings seem to have surpassed the momentum of his specialty squirrel fish.

This made Chef Zheng very uncomfortable.

Xiao Wan buns are obviously just small snacks, why are they more expensive than squirrel fish, and why are they so much more money than he makes?

Not only that, but he began to worry that if Xiao Wan's buns continued to sell well, it would inevitably affect the sales of squirrel fish and other dishes he cooked, and his income would also be greatly affected.

This is what he does not want to see.

Compared with the favor of Dong Xiaowan, who has little hope, it is still silver that comes from it.

So, he started to play with the eyes of the heart.

Dong Xiaowan is a celebrity in Qin Lou, and he can't do anything with her for the time being, but Tie Niu and Derpy who help her belong to the people he is in charge of, so he began to stumble Dong Xiaowan from Tie Niu and Derpy.

Alas, as long as there is interest, there will be strife!

It seems that the kitchen of Qin Lou is not necessarily worse than the kitchen of Yuehai!

Ivan sighed.

After staying in the complex environment of Yuehai for a long time, he naturally heard the problem.

Forget it, if you want to make it difficult, you can make it difficult, it depends on whether you can make it difficult to live!

Ivan knew very well that since Qin Lou asked Dong Xiaowan to increase the amount, it meant that they were also optimistic about the new delicacy of Xiaowan buns, or rather, they valued the gimmick that Dong Xiaowan wrapped by himself.

Since this is the case, then Chef Zheng's difficulties will not play a big role, at most it will only bring a little trouble to Dong Xiaowan.

However, this little trouble needs to be solved as soon as possible.

If Chef Zheng really restricts his movements, his mission will have to be frustrated.

Forget it, I'll talk about this later, kill the fish first, and then practice the basic skills of swordsmanship for a while.

Ivan put the trouble behind him first.
