But at this moment, Meihua didn’t know whether she really didn’t understand or pretended not to understand, so she answered directly,
"Since I am the master of the hall, you can explain the process in front of everyone, and we will all learn from it."
Maybe the plum blossoms are deliberately sidetracking me.
The chef saw no way out.
He paused again and said,
"In that case, I will tell you the processing process of our secret dish, but please don't spread it to others. If it is spread, it will have a bad impact on our Queen Mother."
"It's like this. Before this dish is processed, Master Qiu receives and inspects it every time.
This process goes through neither the custodian nor the buyer.
At first, He Xiang also paid attention to the time of arrival, quantity, quality, that is, freshness, and price.
Later, as time passed, the Prime Minister was busy with work and no longer had the energy to take care of this.
This will leave everything to Master Qiu's responsibility.
As for the quantity, the price increase, the cost, etc., He absolutely trusts Mr. Qiu Ye and rarely asks anything about it. "
"So every time after receiving the goods, Lord Qiu will personally deliver this special ingredient to my stove."
"Remind me to hurry up and process it, and let me report to him after processing.
"Then he watched me box it up and put it in its designated location."
"Every time I send it to the designated location, I will ask the slaves to keep an eye on it and not let anyone move around."
"My job isn't done until you load the service supplies into the car."
I saw the opportunity and followed closely.
"Really? That means Master Mingqiu is really careful about this dish."
“Our service work should indeed be so detailed and practical.”
"Then, Master, I would like to ask you something. Every time you use all the ingredients that come in, you can still have a little more. What should you do when there is not enough?"
The big master was impatient.
"That goes without saying. If it's not enough, just use other ingredients. If there's more, give it to him, because Mr. Qiu is also proud of this."
At this time, the master obviously felt that he had let something slip, so he added,
"No, no, no, it's a taste!"
He added,
"Because of Mr. Qiu's responsibilities, he must taste it before sending it to Mrs. Renxian."
I thought it was right, that's what happened.
I asked again,
"Then last time we processed this ingredient, did you have any ingredients left after processing?"
The big chef said, "There's no ingredients left. It wasn't enough last time. I made it with hot peppers!"
I asked again,
"Then, Master, when you sent this non-staple food to Di Hou'er, did you leave it in the hands of that slave? In other words, which slave did you designate to take care of this non-staple food?"
The big chef turned his head and stood up.
"Chef, what do you mean?"
"Are you suspecting that I took the non-staple food from Queen Mother Renxian?"
I quickly pressed down with my hand and said,
"That was not what I meant,
What I mean is that I want to see if there are any suspicious clues in this process and see if I can get this lost thing back. Otherwise, as you just said, we need to maintain the face and image of the people we serve. Doesn’t it make sense what I said! "
The big chef said directly without sitting down,
"I had a stomachache that day. After I finished processing, I put it in the place where I usually put it. It was the first one in the third row from the window side of the corridor."
I asked,
"Then which slave did you tell me?"
The big chef said,
"No?"
"No?"
"Didn't you say that you can only leave after the side dishes are delivered to the car every time?"
The big chef's face turned pale!
He stuttered a bit when he spoke.
"I, I, I told you, I had a stomachache that day, and I didn't follow it to the end. When I came back, I found it was gone. I thought you had loaded it into the car, so I went home!"
At this time, Meihua interrupted.
Meihua said to the master,
"Hey, Master Yang Yong, don't tell me. When Mr. Qiu and I had dinner alone two days ago, Mr. Qiu specially praised your cooking skills, especially the dish you cooked for Mrs. Renxian. He said that it tasted good. Very authentic!”
The big man couldn't stand it anymore.
Could it be that Master Qiu stole Mrs. Renxian's things and told Mei Huaquan, or was he just joking to deceive me?
In fact, he did deliver the two staple and non-staple dishes to Master Qiu personally because he saw no one was paying attention.
Because Mr. Qiu had made an explanation beforehand.
Said, "Since I am no longer working in this position, I will take a break mentally and want to fully experience the best service and food."
The big chef asked nervously,
"Mrs. Renxian brought you such an important thing. How should I answer when the plum blossom guard captain asks about it?"
Mr. Qiu smiled mysteriously,
"I will never taste this food again. You can't just let me enjoy it. You can deal with it yourself. You have been with me for so many years, don't you know how to make up lies?"
So Wang Qiang, the big chef, told me the reasons for diarrhea that he had prepared in advance. Who would have expected that I would bite him, and Mei Hua would even come out to help.
So when Meihua mentioned that she and Mr. Qiu were having dinner together, the big man was not sure for a moment.
Is it better to tell the truth, or continue to pretend to be confused?
Come to think of it, Master Qiu also ate this thing anyway, so he couldn't tell everyone.
And who of you dares to offend Mr. Qiu now?
It's the right time for people to become officials.
So I hurriedly said,
"As for Queen Mother Renxian's dish, I think everyone should stop nagging!"
“Because it’s not good for anyone to talk about this too much!”
I can hear the implication of this sentence.
What Mei Hua said was that Master Miao had already eaten the lost food.
But Mr. Qiu didn't come to Xiangshan Hall to pick up this thing.
It is impossible for a slave to be sent out.
Then there is no one else but your master who can send it out.
Your master also said that your stomach felt uncomfortable after finishing.
This reason is indeed very good, and it also provides a time difference for Master Qiu to deliver things.
This is basically the right number.
Then I heard from Mei Hua that it was your master who was the first to report the slaves for stealing non-staple food.
The side dishes they stole were ordinary.
What you stole was special.
Being a thief, he had a guilty conscience, missed a target, and framed him by taking the blame.
It seems that this person is insidious, cunning, treacherous and slippery, and his words are not unreasonable.
But at this juncture, I can't expose this matter right away.
The face of old comrades is very important. If it is too rigid, it will not end well. In the future, we will have to rely on the efforts of other old comrades!
So Mei Hua and I looked at each other and said,
"Let's put this aside for later. Let's first combine the opinions of the custodian, purchaser, and master. Once the Master of Plum Blossom Hall has a clear and specific idea, we will implement it."
Meihua reacted faster than me and understood my compromised way of speaking.
