"Don't eat, don't eat! We will never eat lobster again! The young woman came to comfort her husband, and she helped him so that he fell under his feet. She looked at Song Zhizhi and asked, "How much is the consultation fee?" ”

"You don't have to give it!" Song Zhizhi explained to the guest, "You are prone to allergies, not only lobsters can't be eaten, but also any seafood can't be eaten." Remember. After speaking, she said to Xiao Zhi, "Send off the guests!" ”

The young woman hurriedly stepped forward and looked at Song Zhizhi, "I thought you were a profiteer, but I didn't expect to be so kind, my name is Lin Wanzhou, and my father is Lin Zu, the general of the dynasty." You're a good person, I want to make friends with you, how about it? ”

Lin Zu?

The real master behind Yuanfeng?

"What? Do you look down on me? ”

"Don't dare!" Song Zhizhi said, "Miss Lin was born in Jiangmen, I am a businesswoman, how dare I look down on Miss Lin." It's just that the word friend is really precious. Miss Lin understands me, but I don't know Miss Lin, if I immediately agree to make friends with Miss Lin, wouldn't it be irresponsible to myself? ”

Lin Wanzhou laughed, "Song Zhizhi, I have never seen someone like you, it really makes me feel so tight!" Well, I was impressed with you today, and I'm sure we'll meet again! After she finished speaking, she helped her husband and went out to get into the carriage.

Song Zhizhi left Xiaozhi to take care of her in the pharmacy, and she returned to the restaurant and told everyone to be busy.

"Two sisters, how are you doing lately?"

Song Zhizhi turned around to see that the person who came was Mu Lan.

She subconsciously glanced at Widow Meng, Widow Meng understood, and stepped forward to deal with Mu Lan alone, Song Zhizhi pulled away and went to the kitchen to ask about the guests' reactions to the meals recently.

"What are some of the best dishes you've been selling lately?"

"Back to the shopkeeper!" The head chef replied, "It's Peking style roast duck, steamed lobster, squirrel fish, tomahawk steak, beef burger and chicken steak burger. ”

"Yes." Song Zhizhi asked again, "Which dishes are not very popular?" ”

The chef added, "Fish sashimi, dessert macarons, octopus sashimi, smoked ham." ”

Song Zhizhi nodded, probably people in this era still don't like to eat raw food. The macarons are too sweet and the smoked ham tastes weird, so it's no surprise that these guests don't like it.

"Okay, then the dishes you mentioned above will be removed from the menu from tomorrow, and as for the new dishes that need to be made up, I will give you the names and recipes of the dishes tomorrow."

"Yes, shopkeeper."

After Song Zhizhi left the kitchen, he went to his own independent cabin, which is equivalent to an office. She opened a treasure in the house, bought a number of modern recipes, and after selecting them one by one, she decided on five new dishes: spicy fragrant pot, chopped pepper fish head, fresh milk papaya, snow clam black chicken soup, and eel rice.

She copied the recipe of the five dishes on a piece of paper, checked it again, and after making sure that there was no problem with the recipe, folded it neatly into an envelope and pressed it under the inkstone.

Subsequently, she called the bookkeeper to check the profit income in the restaurant last month and last month and compare it.

To her surprise, business in the restaurant was booming, but last month's profit was not as good as last month.

Why?

In order to figure out the reason, Song Zhizhi carefully checked the accounts of the past half a year. And record all the doubts one by one.

In the end, she realized that there was an account that was not right, and it was out last month. Subtracting expenses from the previous month's earnings does not correspond to the figures recorded in the current books. At least, there is a gap of eight hundred taels.

So where did the eight hundred taels go?

Song Zhizhi's first suspicion was Mr. Bookkeeper. Ever since she hired the bookkeeper, she has rarely settled the accounts by herself. Most of the time, it's just a matter of looking at the amount of profit. Could it be that Mr. Bookkeeper felt that she was lax about the accounts, so he secretly manipulated it?

After thinking about it, she told Zhang Zi to call the bookkeeper.

"Meet the shopkeeper!"

"Mr. Liu, please take a seat."

Liu Ru sat down on the chair according to his words.

"Mr. Liu, how are you at home recently? I heard that your daughter got married last month, and for the sake of you doing things for me, I gave you a red envelope of fifty taels. Song Zhizhi's face was pale, and he said, "Everything went well with your daughter's marriage, right?" ”

"If you go back to the shopkeeper, everything will be fine." Liu Ru lowered his head and replied.

"Okay." Song Zhizhi said again, "Since everything is fine at your home, let's talk about your work." Recently, you have kept accounts, are there any omissions? ”

"When I go back to the shopkeeper, I don't."

"If there is none, why was there eight hundred taels of silver missing from last month's account? Mr. Liu, these eight hundred taels are missing, do you know why? ”

Liu Ru hurriedly raised his head and looked at Song Zhizhi, "The shopkeeper won't suspect me, right?" Heaven and earth conscience, I have not taken the money from the treasurer's account! The shopkeeper knows my character, and he knows it! I've lived to this day and I've never been sorry for anyone! I ......"

"Don't get excited." Song Zhizhi said, "I didn't doubt you, I just wanted to ask you about the specific situation and see if you knew where the money went." ”

Liu Ru hurriedly shook his head, "I don't know!" I don't know! ”

Song Zhizhi was as careful as a hair, observant, stared at Liu Ru for a while, and caught the heart emptiness that flashed on his face.

"Mr. Liu, it is precisely because I believe in you that I asked you to come and ask you. If I really doubt you, I will definitely report this matter to the government and let the people from the government investigate it. ”

"Eight hundred taels is not a small amount, Mr. Liu, you help me recall my memories, did you miss this money, or I took it away, and told you not to remember it. Anyway, you've got to give me an explanation, right? ”

"How can the shopkeeper ask me for an explanation? I am only responsible for bookkeeping, and I have never made a mistake in keeping an account. In short, this matter must have nothing to do with me, the shopkeeper should think elsewhere and check on someone else! ”

Song Zhizhi felt that Liu Ru was suspected of shirking responsibility, and frowned and was silent for a while. Suddenly, her face changed, and she said to Liu Ru with a smile, "Okay, it's okay." So, you go home today and rest for a few days, and when I find out about it, you can come back and do things. ”

"Yes." Liu Ru got up and blessed Song Zhizhi slightly, turned around and went out.

When Liu Ru left, Song Zhizhi said, "Qiongjiang Yulu, you come in!" ”

The two of them appeared in front of Song Zhizhi, and Song Zhizhi ordered, "You guys secretly and quietly follow Mr. Liu to see if he has any strange behavior." ”

"Yes!"

The two disappeared.

Near evening, Yulu came back alone and said to Song Zhizhi, "Shopkeeper, after Mr. Liu went home, he first went to his daughter's house, and then when he returned home, he began to pack up his salutes. My brother was worried that he was going to run, so he showed up and took control of him, and asked me to come back and report to the shopkeeper. ”

"Well, it seems that the disappearance of the eight hundred taels of silver is indeed related to Mr. Liu." Song Zhizhi got up from behind the table and said to Yulu, "Let's go, I'll go to Liu's house with you." ”

"Yes!"
