Hearing the locker keeper's strong words, Wika jumped in anger and said, "How could such a thing happen! We left our things here with you! There are dozens of seasonings in my seasoning box. ! It’s very valuable!”
But I heard the administrator say: "Who knows whether you put it in or not? You don't look like rich people. Are you pretending to have lost something to blackmail?"
Wika didn't expect that the other party would say such a thing, and suddenly became furious and said: "That's too much! You obviously lost our things, and you still say such things..."
Then at this moment, the bell of the venue rang.
Wika was stunned for a moment, then saw Wenxi frowning and said, "Oh no, the game is about to start..."
After hearing this, the custodian laughed sarcastically: "What kind of competition is this? You'd better go home, little brats! Those who can't even afford seasonings, don't come out and embarrass yourself——"
Then he was frightened and choked by the cold light in Yin Lian's eyes.
Yin Lian said: "I don't have time to talk to him. Is there a shop selling seasonings nearby?"
Wimsey replied: "Yes, there is, but we don't have that much money..."
Yin Lian said without blinking: "As long as you have it. I'll pay for it, and you can pay me back later. If you can't pay back, just work as a child laborer for your sister. If you work for ten or eight years, you can always pay it off." "
After hearing this, Wika burst into laughter and said, "Don't buy such expensive seasonings!" Then she hugged Yin Lian's arm and said, "I will become a royal chef in the future and cook specifically for my sister. , cook the most delicious dishes in the world for Sister Lian to eat."
Yin Lian said: "Then you have to work hard."
Then he took a child in each hand and walked out.
The custodian didn't expect their reaction. He was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly shouted: "Wait! Before you return the keys -"
As a result, Yin Lian turned around, gave him a cold smile, and said, "You stole someone's things and you want to get the key back? Are you dreaming?"
The custodian was stunned for a moment, but by the time he came to his senses, Yin Lian had already led the two children away.
But it was impossible to rush up and snatch the keys from the three children. The storage fee for the lockers was calculated on a daily basis, so in theory, Yin Lian and the others had the right to use it within one day.
Of course, it is not impossible to forcefully snatch it back, but doing so can easily cause commotion and make the whole thing bigger, which is very uneconomical for the custodian.
He was suddenly a little anxious.
But at this time, Yin Lian was basically certain that the disappearance of their seasoning boxes must have something to do with the keeper. As a professional in conspiracy, for Yin Lian, most of the people who came to frame people behaved very unprofessionally. For example, this custodian, whose attitude of shirk-shirking responsibility was so obvious that it could be seen at a glance.
If Yin Lian wanted to deprive some people of their seasoning boxes so that they could not participate in the competition, then Yin Lian would never use this method which would be extremely troublesome and easy to get someone into trouble.
Not only would she greet Wika and Wimsey well, but she would also try her best to help them find the missing spice box, then delay the time until the game started, and finally let them find their own spice box in a corner.
This not only allowed them to find the seasoning box, but also disrupted the progress of their game without falling into anyone's hands. After all, there is a big difference between losing a condiment box worth several silver coins and just missing it for a while.
With this thought in mind, Yin Lian took Wika and Wenxi to a nearby condiment shop, and then began to select condiments for them. In the process of selecting seasonings, she had been trying to sort out what happened.
First of all, Yin Lian felt that before the custodian did this, he must have known very well that Wika and Wenxi did not have the financial resources to immediately reset their seasonings, which meant that they had a certain understanding of the two children.
Therefore, the possibility of an acquaintance committing the crime is still very high.
In the case where an acquaintance commits the crime, the identity of the other party must be inferred through some means. One possibility is that Yin Lian is the young master Robbia who hacked yesterday and the elders behind him. The other possibility is that Wenxi or Wika's original competitors or enemies.
The latter is more likely, but the former is not entirely impossible. Although it was Yin Lian who offended Young Master Robia yesterday, it did not prevent the other party from wanting to deal with Wenxi, who had a crush on Young Master Robia. As for the latter, if they were the original competitors of Wenxi or Wika, then it would be enough to seize the seasoning box of one of them. There is no need to steal the seasoning boxes of both.
Of course, maybe the other party feels that leaving a condiment box will give the two people the opportunity to share or share the condiments in the same box. That is also possible.
Judging that this was the case, Yin Lian felt that she needed more information.
So while choosing the seasonings, Yin Lian asked Wenxi and Wenka: "Speaking of which, I have never been very clear about it. What are the rules of the cooking competition? What are the main prizes and secondary prizes? Yes. How many places are there?”
After hearing this, Wika said a little strangely: "Sister Lian, you don't even know this? There is no quota for the main prize. There are only two evaluations of 'pass' and 'fail'. If five of the ten judges give it a pass, it counts as a pass." Yes. There are quotas for the sub-award, and each judge can choose three people, namely the sub-award for outstanding cooking, the sub-award for outstanding seasoning and the sub-award for outstanding styling. There are a total of thirty sub-awards among the ten judges."
It sounds like the conditions are very relaxed. It doesn't sound like a competition but more like an exam.
Yin Lian asked again: "Then Wenxi and Weika should have a good chance of passing this year, right?"
Wenxi took the initiative to answer: "I passed last year. I learned a lot of new dishes this year. The teacher said that as long as I don't make big mistakes, I will definitely pass."
In this way, there is no situation where someone wants to steal the award from two people, so they have to design the two children so that they cannot participate in the competition.
After ruling out this possibility, Yin Lian asked: "Master Robbia yesterday, does Wenxi know anything about the situation in his family?"
Wenxi was stunned for a moment before replying: "...I don't know very well. I only know that his family is very rich, and his parents seem a bit fierce, but they dote on him very much."
...This should be considered useful information.
Yin Lian thought so.
Then the two children picked out the condiments they needed. Yin Lian saw that the quantity was a bit small, so she asked: "How many are these? Isn't this enough?"
Wika said: "Sister Lian can't find any family members. If you have money, you won't be too panicked, so don't spend money randomly! I just need these. I only need these few seasonings for the dishes to be made today. "
Wimsey said: "Well, I just want the seasonings that will be used today. Let's go look for the lost seasoning box after the game. Maybe we can find it back before the next game."
Yin Lian thought for a while and said, "It's better to buy all the condiments that will be used in the next game."
She didn't expect the two to retrieve the spice box before the next game. Being able to instruct the custodian of the competition venue to cooperate in hiding the two children's seasoning boxes shows that the other party is either very powerful or has some involvement with the venue... In this case, the other party will never give up, let alone let the two of them easily Retrieve the spice box.
She said to her two children: "Don't worry, my sister is rich. What I said before is serious. If my sister can't find her family, just open a restaurant here, and then let Wika and Wenxi serve as my sister's pawns." Chef. So you should concentrate on the competition now and try to win more prizes, so that you can better help your sister in the future."
After hearing what she said, the two children thought for a while, then nodded seriously and said, "Okay!"
When the two of them had picked out all the seasonings, the bell rang for the second time. Although Yin Lian tried his best to urge the teller to settle the bill, by the time he arrived at the venue, the third bell had already started ringing.
When the staff at the venue saw the three people appearing, they immediately frowned and said, "Why is it so late? What do you think the game is? The game is about to start!"
Yin Lian said: "Sorry, sorry, it was actually an accident. My brother and sister lost their seasoning box. We just went to replace it. It's not that we don't pay attention to the competition."
She clasped her hands together with a pleading expression, acting cute. The staff saw that she was pretty and had a good attitude. He heard that she didn't mean what she meant, so her demeanor and tone softened a lot, and said: "Forget it! I couldn't let you in originally, but since it was an accident, I will let you in this time. Be accommodating. Be careful next time!"
Wika and Wenxi were a little nervous at first, but when they saw that the staff was so easy to talk to, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief and showed big smiles.
Yin Lian said to them: "Thank you brothers and sisters quickly!"
The two of them said in unison: "Thank you, brother and sister!"
Although the two children are not particularly beautiful, they are also delicate and cute. Most people can't resist being so cute in unison.
The two staff responsible for the inspection are only in their early twenties. Although they are considered young in this world where fourteen is considered an adult, it is still acceptable to call them brothers and sisters.
The two checked the children's entry cards and let them in.
When Wika and Wenxi started playing, Yin Lian sat in the family seat on one side and started watching the game. Then she was surprised to find a familiar face when her eyes swept across the judges' table.
Miss Shahili Boman, she is actually one of the judges of the Food Guild.
As far as Yin Lian knows, in this world, the Food Guild is a very powerful existence. To be able to appear as a judge in the local food festival chef competition, Shahili's status in the Food Guild should be unusual. No wonder she can treat He indifferently. Persecuted by Earl Monte.
With that in mind, the game begins.
