Chapter 9 IX

And as long as someone has been here once, they have all become repeat customers, so many people privately rumored that this Qinglou must have turned into a place of ghosts and deaths.

Chu Xiaoqi naturally heard about these things, after all, she had been working here for a long time, but she didn't see anything unusual and strange in this building every day, and the things of those dead people were all hearsay, and she suspected that those tongue-chewing people made up some rumors to compile these many stories.

At the beginning of the day, a guest came to the building.

It was a middle-aged man with a cold and calm temperament, led by this man, followed by three or four followers.

A few people directly booked the most luxurious private room on the top floor, asked for the most exquisite high-quality wine and food, and ordered a few top women to accompany the wine and food.

Chu Xiaoqi felt that these people were strange, people who came in the past rarely came in to play like the master brought his entourage to have fun, most of them came to indulge in lust alone, even if they were a few people, they were all playing with their own points, unlike these people, how to follow the master to eat with their entourage.

But the person who comes is a guest, who cares about you and who is in the rivers and lakes, anyway, if you don't make trouble, you are here to consume and send silver, don't ask where you come from, and this is not Chu Xiaoqi's business, she went to the kitchen as usual, the middle-aged man chartered a box and asked for a lot of exquisite dishes, she had to go and serve them as soon as possible.

Before he arrived at the kitchen, Chu Xiaoqi saw the two cooks in charge of the kitchen with their heads bowed and cowering, and walked out of the kitchen and turned into a corner of the house that was extremely inconspicuous.

Chu Xiaoqi was strange, but he wanted to ask him if the two of them had prepared their dishes, so he hurriedly followed.

But when I got to the corner of the house, I saw nothing, it was just a wall.

Chu Xiaoqi was very strange, he obviously saw two people coming, how could it be a wall?

She was afraid that there was some mystery in this place, so she didn't dare to stay for a long time, thinking that it had nothing to do with what they were doing, so it was important to hurry up and serve the food.

When I entered the kitchen, I saw that all kinds of exquisite dishes were lined up and steaming, and it seemed that they had just been baked.

As soon as the dish was ready, why did the chef leave, what is this sneaky about?

Just when Chu Xiaoqi was puzzled, he suddenly heard footsteps coming in the direction of the kitchen, but there was nowhere to hide here, Chu Xiaoqi hurriedly pretended to know nothing, forced his composure, and naturally put the dishes on the tray.

"Hey, the girl is here." It was the two cooks who pushed the door in and entered.

"Huh? Oh, the distinguished guest in the first-class box is urging, I didn't see the two masters when I came, but I didn't dare to delay, so I could only put it up myself. Chu Xiaoqi's face was innocent.

"Ah, I'm sorry, the two of us are just ...... Belch...... Let's get rid of it, it's okay, you can send it to the guests, don't annoy people. A cook's eyes flashed, and he replied.

"Hmm." Chu Xiaoqi nodded, but she was thinking in her mind, you two make up a reason to be cleaner anyway, people are going to serve food, you said that you two just got rid of it, if this guest knows about it, can you still eat it?

However, Chu Xiaoqi still kept an eye on it, she went out of the kitchen, and then pretended that she couldn't spare her hands to close the door and gently leaned the door with her body, so she secretly left a crack.

The two cooks may be men with a rough heart, or they may think that Chu Xiaoqi is innocent and innocent, and when they saw Chu Xiaoqi coming out of the kitchen, they took out a small bottle with a strange shape from his coat pocket, opened the cap and poured something unknown into the delicate wine jug on the table, and then quickly retracted his movements and put everything as before.

But the two of them didn't know, just these few seconds of action, all of them were watched by Chu Xiaoqi without falling into his eyes.

Chu Xiaoqi left quietly, quietly, and delivered dishes to the middle-aged man in the box above.

There was a singing and dancing bamboo orchestra in the box, Chu Xiaoqi opened the door gently, and saw the middle-aged man sitting in the front seat, lazily watching the seductive dance of a group of bewitching women in front of him, while several people behind him stood expressionlessly behind the man with their hands behind their backs like wood carvings.

Usually serving others, Chu Xiaoqi never dared to raise her head, for fear of causing trouble, this time it was the same, she lowered her head timidly, quietly laid out the dishes, and turned around to leave.

"Hey, little girl." didn't want this man to stop her directly.

Chu Xiaoqi's heart was suddenly startled, she hurriedly turned around, but she still lowered her head.

"What do you command?"

The middle-aged man looked at her for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking.

Chu Xiaoqi was puzzled and raised his head slightly, but he happened to meet the man's deep gaze.

Chu Xiaoqi hurriedly lowered his head again.

"Come here!" The man commanded in a deep voice.

Chu Xiaoqi was stunned, her heart was flustered, she naturally didn't want to go over.

"Come here!" The man then yelled coldly.

Chu Xiaoqi was so frightened that his body trembled, and he raised his eyes to meet the man's eyes, but this time he couldn't take his eyes off, although Chu Xiaoqi didn't dare or want to go over, but his body couldn't help it, his legs moved slowly, and he walked towards the man.

The man stretched out his hand, took out a five-colored delicate small bracelet out of nowhere, dragged Chu Xiaoqi's hand and put it on her.

Chu Xiaoqi looked at the exquisite bracelet on his wrist in a daze.

"Hurry up and get served!" The man said.

“…… It's ......" Chu Xiaoqi was puzzled.

What does this man mean? Chu Xiaoqi looked at the bracelet on her wrist, she was just a little girl, she naturally liked beautiful jewelry, but she was shy and only cared about saving money, she had never been willing to buy a decoration, even if it was just a cheap street stall, she could only look at it and pass the addiction.

This is the first piece of jewelry I ever bought.

However, I have never seen a guest give her an ordinary little maid a bracelet.

But...... Serving?

Chu Xiaoqi was stunned, there was a problem with the wine prepared by the two cooks, how could it be served?

Back in the kitchen, she laid the rest of the dishes on the tray, and then looked at the jug of wine.

The two cooks were busy with themselves, as if nothing had happened.

Chu Xiaoqi also pretended not to know, and easily placed the pot of wine on the tray.

Out of the kitchen, Chu Xiaoqi vaguely heard the relieved sighs and a slight weird laugh of the two cooks, and her hairs suddenly stood on end, I don't know if I heard it wrong.

No, there is definitely a problem here, Chu Xiaoqi gritted his teeth and thought, after doing things today, hurry up and find an opportunity to escape, fortunately, he saved some money and went out to find a way to make a living, which is better than staying here and dying sooner or later.

But the wine in this plate cannot be served.

Chu Xiaoqi decided to take a detour from the hall, and the demons in the hall danced and made a lot of noise, but it just so happened that Chu Xiaoqi took advantage of the large number of people and quietly poured all the wine on his plate on the ground.
