The night breeze blew as the pickup truck drove the two of them toward the rental house.
Along the way, Jiang Wantong told Zhang Dachuan about her work in the kitchen, most of which were happy content.
When she was almost home, her tone suddenly changed and she once again mentioned to Zhang Dachuan the chef Sun Deming who was hostile to her:
"That Sun Deming really went too far. Two days ago when wages were paid, he blatantly deducted other people's wages in front of many people!"
"Everyone was obviously working very hard, but he was not considerate at all. He just kept magnifying a small problem. I really couldn't stand it, so I stepped in to stop him."
As she talked, she became a little depressed and said in confusion:
"But after this incident, those people not only didn't appreciate it, but silently distanced themselves from me... I obviously helped them."
Zhang Dachuan said:
"This can only be said to be human nature."
"After all, you are facing the chef, and the little chefs in the back kitchen, even if they are grateful to you, they dare not get too close to you on the surface. Doesn't that mean openly singing the opposite tune?"
After hearing this, Jiang Wantong was dubious:
"Really? I once wondered if I had done something wrong?"
Zhang Dachuan said hurriedly:
"Of course, you are right. You did the right thing. You went to work, not to help others do evil and collude with others. The good things you did to those people will definitely be remembered in their hearts."
After hearing this, Jiang Wantong felt much better. She leaned on Zhang Dachuan's shoulder and said sweetly:
"Dachuan, thank you for enlightening me. I feel much better."
The next day, after Zhang Dachuan sent Jiang Wantong to work, he went to the market to buy some fry and sent them back to the village.
By the time we settled down in the village and returned to Mingyue County, it was already afternoon.
Remembering that the time agreed with Jiang Wantong was coming, Zhang Dachuan rushed to Mingyue Hotel without stopping.
In the past few times, Zhang Dachuan had always come to Mingyue Hotel as a delivery person, but this time he came as a customer.
For this reason, Zhang Dachuan dressed up deliberately.
Entering the lobby, lobby manager Wang Xun personally received him. This standard was already very high.
But Wang Xun looked ashamed and kept apologizing to Zhang Dachuan. After all, Zhang Dachuan could double the sales of the entire hotel with just one cart of fish.
Wang Xun led Zhang Dachuan to the box and said:
"I'm sorry, Boss Zhang. Our boss should have greeted you personally, but he went to Bailong City on urgent matters today. I hope you won't be angry."
Zhang Dachuan wondered:
"Going to Bailong City again? Didn't he just go there a few days ago?"
Wang Xun shook his head:
"I'm not sure. It seems like I went to the city hospital to see a doctor."
Zhang Dachuan became even more confused when he heard this.
With his Chaos Medical Experience, he has reached the top level of knowledge, hearing, and inquiry, and he can tell the difference between ordinary patients with serious illnesses at a glance.
In his opinion, Liu Jinglong was in good health and had no serious illness at all.
But although he felt strange, he didn't ask any more questions.
Wang Xun took Zhang Dachuan to a box surrounded by plum trees and introduced to him:
"In addition to ordinary boxes, our Mingyue Hotel also has four large boxes of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, as well as a supreme box on the top floor."
"Originally, we were supposed to arrange a supreme box for Boss Zhang, but unfortunately there are already people on the top floor at this time. Boss Zhang will just be aggrieved in Meixiang Pavilion for the time being. I'm really sorry."
Zhang Dachuan looked at the scattered plum blossoms and waved his hands repeatedly:
"It's okay, it's fine here."
"To be honest, this is my first time entering such a high-end box, haha."
Wang Xun breathed a sigh of relief. After pouring a cup of tea for Zhang Dachuan himself, he hurriedly arranged for people to serve the food. As the lobby manager, he was actually very busy.
Not long after, all kinds of dishes were served one after another. Zhang Dachuan looked at the dishes full of Jiang Wantong's style, his appetite was whetted, and he started eating alone.
Zhang Dachuan was so satisfied with the food that he felt that the trip was worthwhile.
Jiang Wantong's craftsmanship has indeed become more and more sophisticated.
At the same time, in the back kitchen, Jiang Wantong was carving a flower knife with concentration, preparing the last dish for Zhang Dachuan.
She planned to deliver this dish to Zhang Dachuan in person, and wanted to hear Zhang Dachuan's praise with her own ears.
However, before she was done, Sun Deming wearing a tall hat suddenly came over:
"Jiang Wantong, hurry up and prepare this spicy fish. It's waiting for urgent use."
Jiang Wantong looked embarrassed:
"But, I have work on my hands..."
Sun Deming said impatiently:
"Things have their own priorities. Let's put this dish aside for now. This spicy fish is ordered by a distinguished guest in the store. It requires very high cooking skills. No one else can handle it. You have to come."
"By the way, this spicy fish needs soup, so the fish must not only be spicy, but the soup must also be clear and bright. You can't see even a drop of red oil chili in it, you know."
Jiang Wantong had no choice but to nod her head and turn around to carefully prepare the spicy fish dish.
It took twenty minutes to prepare the spicy fish. Jiang Wantong rang the bell, then turned around and hurriedly continued to prepare the dish she just had.
She didn't notice that after her spicy fish was taken away, Sun Deming had a sneer on his lips.
…
Cuizhu Pavilion, which has four large private rooms, is next to Meixiang Pavilion.
At this moment, Huang Zhekai is dining here with someone else.
Huang Zhekai poured a glass of wine himself and toasted to the people in front of him enthusiastically and respectfully:
"Boss Qin, it is a blessing to my brother that you are willing to give me a favor today. I give you a toast!"
The man sitting in front of Huang Zhekai has a bald head, a thick gold chain around his neck, a fat head, and a strong momentum. At first glance, he is not a good person.
When the bald man heard this, he immediately laughed, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp:
"Easy to say, easy to say, I, Lao Qin, will take advantage of you today."
Boss Qin is in the freight business. Huang Zhekai sometimes delivers food and has some business dealings with him.
Boss Qin has more than a dozen people under his command. Not only is he rich and powerful, but his background is not clean either. He is also a difficult figure in Mingyue County.
Today, Huang Zhekai made an appointment with Boss Qin to come here for dinner by discussing business.
The two of them were chatting nonsense, when the spicy fish cooked by Jiang Wantong was served.
Huang Zhekai immediately stood up with a smile:
"Boss Qin, come and try it. This is Mingyue Hotel's signature dish, Three Fresh Fish Soup. The fish meat is delicious and can remove rheumatism. The soup is also refreshing and delicious. It has a great taste."
Boss Qin nodded, picked up the chopsticks and took a bite. He immediately gave a thumbs up and was full of praise:
“Delicious, really delicious.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Boss Qin's expression suddenly changed, his eyes widened, he covered his neck and coughed painfully.
The veins on his forehead were exposed, as if he was having trouble breathing, and he was out of breath from coughing.
Huang Zhekai "panicked" and hurriedly expressed concern:
"Boss Qin, are you okay? How do you feel?"
Boss Qin didn't say anything, ran to the side, picked up the big teapot, and poured half a pot of herbal tea down, and then he regained his composure.
After coming back to his senses, the bald man was completely angry.
He slammed the table and roared:
"Is this three-blood fish soup? This is obviously spicy fish!"
"I just had throat surgery a week ago. Are you trying to kill me by giving me this fish?"
"Waiter? Waiter!"
