"When they heard about your deeds, they were also very curious. Want to get in touch with you? ”

Han Qing did not refuse.

"Who are you talking about?"

"It's a few idle sons and daughters of a few families, and basically there are no particularly high-ranking official positions, so there will not be much threat."

It's just to make some connections in this blue city.

Therefore, it is necessary to inquire about it in moderation.

It can't be so blind.

"If you're free, you can see each other."

He nodded.

And did not refuse.

What's more, at this time, it is still unfavorable for them.

Instead of continuing to waste time, it is better to take the opportunity to solve this matter.

"Okay."

Achieved its goal.

You can also relax for a while.

He wasn't overindulgent to himself, but was helping that Master Chen to find the key clues.

The killer certainly hasn't left the Blue City yet.

There is a good chance that it will continue to be hands-on.

After all, this has not served the real purpose of those people.

But the poisoned guest had been in a coma for two or three days.

Although there is no complete evidence to accuse the hot pot restaurant, some people have begun to suspect it frequently.

In addition, the Du family went to spread some news.

Naturally, there are fewer and fewer customers in their hot pot shop.

"The last time I tasted it, I thought the food in this shop was particularly delicious, how could such a big thing happen all of a sudden?"

"I guess the dishes inside are not clean, right?"

"I heard that the poisoned person is still lying in the hospital, and after all these days, I haven't seen anyone in the hot pot shop to deal with this matter."

The influence of public opinion is very great.

Maybe none of that is true.

But it's easy to make people start to doubt.

After Old Man Du knew that the matter had been done, he was also full of praise for his son.

"This time it's a lot more profitable, and I guess they won't be able to hold on to this store in two days."

"Father, he is an outsider, and he doesn't know the local rules, how can he run for a long time?"

"Yes, what about the two restaurants under your name?"

"Normal reception of guests."

The old man looked pleased.

A mere little shrimp still dares to show off his might in front of him?

It's ridiculous.

But Han Qing didn't care about it.

On the contrary, this matter is getting more and more serious.

The customer, who was poisoned, also woke up after three or four days.

When he realized the rumors from the outside world, his face was also full of confusion.

After inquiring about Lang Zhong, who was diagnosed at the time, I learned the specific condition.

It wasn't the reason for the hot pot restaurant, it was caused by eating some poisonous mushrooms on the first day.

It may be that there is no cause of inducing the disease, so it is chronic poisoning.

This man is more realistic.

After hearing that the hot pot restaurant received this kind of grievance, he came to the door and apologized.

"I'm the one who was poisoned a few days ago, and those rumors from the outside world are all fake, I'm really sorry."

"Auntie, we already know, not to mention that it's not your fault, those rumors that spread were deliberately arranged by someone. You're just being taken advantage of. ”

Han Qing said slowly.

I didn't think it had much of an impact.

On the contrary, it made her not have to blame herself.

"But the business of your current shop is not very good, and there are no customers......

"Don't worry, it won't be long before it happens."

She nodded.

I explained it to my fellow villagers.

Let him realize that this is just his own reason, not the fault of the hot pot restaurant.

Zhou Tingjun didn't quite understand.

Why not clarify?

"Now that the truth of the matter has come out, we can operate normally after we clarify."

"Do you think they'll believe it?"

Han Qing said slowly.

There are some people who impose accusations on their heads, and even if they tell the truth truthfully, the effect is not very useful.

"But now there are very few customers in the hot pot restaurant, if it continues like this, sooner or later it will be in a loss-making situation?"

The little thug looked sad.

It was not easy for him to feel that he was recognized and had just taken over the industry.

Is it going to be gone all of a sudden?

This is also outrageous.

"No, it's just a chance."

A week later.

Han Qing immediately made a suggestion to Master Chen.

"My lord, your prestige in this Blue City is extremely high, and you are going to carry out a Chef King Contest on the orders of the imperial court, and you are inviting several officials of the imperial court to preside over the review, can you help with this?"

What?

After Chen Tianwei listened.

His face was full of surprise.

He thought it was very strange, why would he do such a thing?

"You're trying to promote your hot pot shop?"

"Yes, but I want to suppress the Du family more."

After listening to the purpose, he immediately agreed.

And directly in the name of the imperial court, the scale of this competition was rated as the highest level.

Even all capable restaurants in Blue City are invited to come and participate.

As for the rewards, they are also very generous.

It can be authorized by the imperial court to operate, and even host a banquet for all officials to inspect later.

This has caused a lot of controversy.

But it also makes many of those businessmen feel that their day has come.

Once selected, the officials of the imperial court will naturally favor them more.

Not only will the financial resources roll in later, but the status will also rise rapidly.

Almost all of the shops with some qualifications are starting to gear up.

A game like this that I am looking forward to.

But when he returned to the shop, he found that the thugs had no intention of doing so.

On the contrary, there is some dissatisfaction.

"Aren't you going to get involved?"

"Me? I ran this hot pot restaurant, and it was pretty good. And there aren't any particularly reliable chefs in this shop? ”

He shook his head.

"You have this ability yourself, you don't think I really called a person who doesn't know anything to manage a hot pot restaurant, right?"

He asked coldly.

If you hadn't found someone to investigate, and found that this person is particularly sensitive to the taste of some food.

It's impossible to think that this little thug can take on the heavy responsibility.

"I'm just going to cook at home, and it's so hard for me to make those beautiful dishes!"

The thugs hurriedly refused.

It's really embarrassing.

"Take a good look at this book, and in three days, I hope to see your perfect performance!"

Han Qing directly took out a cookbook.

There are thousands of dishes in it, but they are all unique through the ages.

All of them are the most representative dishes he selected.

The thug looked dazed, but still took the cookbook.
