Chef A Liang finally came out of the bathroom, and the restaurant owner asked him to get a set of clean clothes for him to change into. Not long after, A Liang was politely invited by the German police into the box where Sun Tao and others were talking.
"You said they searched once before?" After hearing Qi Ying's description, Dong Qiangqiang couldn't believe it for a moment, "Is it the same as this time?"
Qi Ying shook her head: "I feel like it was stricter last time than this time. Not only was the restaurant searched, but the homes of all the staff in the restaurant were also searched. I was in class when the police went to my dormitory, and the university dormitory administrator I was dumbfounded when they called me to tell me to go back to the dormitory. Later, the dormitory administrator asked me to write an explanation document. I thought the university would take back my dormitory, but then it seemed that the university didn’t say anything, but that time it really I was so scared.”
"Then do you know why they are so mobilized? I don't think the German police are so concerned about other cases." Dong Qiangqiang couldn't help but think of his own case, the Hu You case, the He Yuanjin case and the Yu Jianghai case, all of which were pending. , while the Mueller case and the Lu Wei case were both decided quickly and with great efficiency.
Qi Ying glanced at Dong Qiangqiang and asked, "You just came to Germany, right?"
"How did you know?" Dong Qiangqiang was shocked, "Is the entry time written on my face?"
"Around April, the Hamburg Police Department received a report that there were illegal chefs working in certain Chinese restaurants, and the restaurants paid chefs extremely low wages. The Hamburg Police Department immediately sent people to investigate, but after the investigation, the police found no evidence of the reported case. What people are talking about is that it was exposed that the reporter himself was fired for bad behavior in a Chinese restaurant." Qi Ying said quietly, "Because this matter was quite sensational at the time, you don't know what it means for you Came late.”
"Could the certain Chinese restaurant you were talking about be..." Dong Qiangqiang pointed to the ground, "Then do you know who reported the crime?"
Qi Ying nodded: "He seems to be a German. I heard he was fired for stealing money at the cashier."
"So the reporter retaliated against the restaurant because he was fired from the restaurant?" Dong Qiangqiang asked, "What happened next?"
"Later, Wanfu's boss sued the reporter for defamation, and the two parties filed a lawsuit, but the case has not been decided yet."
"Then... is such a thing really possible? I mean... illegal workers." Although Dong Qiangqiang knew that he shouldn't ask around, but he got to the point quickly, and his curiosity was naturally brought out, "I used to Similar rumors were heard in Hannover.”
"I can only say that there is definitely no Wanfu. Every employee here is a relative of the boss. You know that many southerners go abroad in the family style: after one person establishes a foothold abroad, he slowly brings in other relatives. Take it out. Chinese restaurants here in Germany are actually very difficult to make, and there is no Chinatown, so the boss is very careful. People who don’t know the basics will never use it, otherwise you won’t know who is behind your back. Those with legal labor visas Even the chefs dare not use it, so how dare they use illegal workers? If it were you, would you dare?"
"What does being a Chinese restaurant have to do with Chinatown?" Dong Qiangqiang asked curiously, "Doesn't Germany have a Chinatown?"
"London, Paris, and many places in New York have Chinatowns, but there are none in Germany. If there were Chinatowns, Chinese restaurants would be very prosperous. Think about it, people go shopping in an exotic place, and when they are tired of shopping, they try foreign food. This is such a natural thing. But there is no Chinatown here. If there is a Chinese restaurant standing there, as a traditional German, he will not take the initiative to consider eating Chinese food. This is not a question of whether they can use chopsticks. , but the choice they make due to their eating habits. Even if you provide them with knives and forks, they Germans will not eat them, and they have many taboos. For example, they will not eat coeloids, offal, crabs, and sea cucumbers. , I won’t eat chicken feet, I won’t eat preserved eggs and stinky tofu, and rabbit brains are also boycotted and there are many restrictions.”
"They really don't have this kind of food culture," Dong Qiangqiang concluded, "but this is normal. Even I can't accept many Chinese foods. For example, although I am from Beijing, I can't stand Jiaoqiang and Douzhier. the taste of."
"That means you are not from Beijing." Qi Ying showed a row of neat upper teeth when she smiled, "Getting back to the subject, the final result is that the recipes in every Chinese restaurant here are similar. The eight major domestic cuisines have become... The Germans still enjoy eating eight dishes. In this case, the boss doesn’t need to hire so many chefs at all. Three or four are enough.”
"Then the boss told you all this?"
"Why would the boss tell us such a thing?" Qi Ying was amused by Dong Qiangqiang. "There are many gossip tabloids in Germany. They write about everything. I also analyzed it myself after reading some reports."
"I really didn't expect it to be like this." Dong Qiangqiang said with emotion.
"Even more exaggerated things came later. In August, the newspaper said that the Lower Saxony police arrested a Frenchman who opened an overseas labor agency. According to his confession, he introduced about dozens of people in the past year. A French chef came to Germany to work. During this period, he also introduced a dozen Southeast Asian chefs who could cook Chinese food to Germany through various unknown channels. The police said that these chefs may have used "AB contracts". Specifically , one A contract is used to submit to the German Immigration Bureau to apply for a labor work visa, while the other B contract is the real contract, and the benefits above are far more than those of the A contract. In short, use the A contract to get a work visa, Make money with Contract B.”
"I understand," Dong [ ] clapped his hands, "so the Germans will use this as a reason to search all Chinese restaurants that may employ Southeast Asian chefs."
The two of them were chatting with each other, and when the box door opened, Wolfgang took the lead and strode out, followed closely by Sun Tao and his colleagues.
Dong Qiangqiang and Qi Ying immediately stopped talking and looked at Sun Tao with breathless concentration.
After Sun Tao whispered a few words to his colleagues, his colleagues immediately dispersed, while Sun Tao walked quickly towards Dong Qiangqiang and Qi Ying.
"Hello. Who are you?" Sun Tao doesn't know Qi Ying yet.
"Hamburg University, Qi Ying." She pointed in the direction of the water bar, "I work as a waiter in the water bar."
"She was the one who told me tonight that Jurgen deliberately made things difficult for A-Liang. A-Liang is the chef who just entered." Dong Qiangqiang added, "And she was working here when the Germans raided the restaurant last time."
"Okay, now you two tell me everything that happened here tonight." Sun Tao took out a pen and paper, "The more detailed the better."
