It wasn't until the end that I heard Wang Qiang's name, but the man's face was obviously not very excited, which was in sharp contrast to the people in front of him.
"Why do you feel like you don't really want to do things with me?" Xiao Ran crossed his arms.
"No..." Wang Qiang shook his head repeatedly, a little panicked.
"What's the matter with the injury on your face?"
It has to be said that Wang Qiang's face was the most serious injury in the whole kitchen. It is not impossible to say that he was beaten for gambling.
He also noticed just now that Wang Qiang was walking with a slight limp, and even had a wound on his right hand, which seemed like a style only found in casinos.
"He was beaten because he didn't do things well."
Xiao Ran glanced at Wang Qiang and said nothing.
He lowered his head and seemed to be thinking.
Finally he raised his head, ignoring the expectant gazes, and finally landed on Wang Qiang's face.
"It's just you."
Wang Qiang raised his head and saw Xiao Ran pointing at him, a little in disbelief.
"Uncle..."
Wang Qiang wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Xiao Ran: "The others will go down first."
The remaining people were a little disappointed and left the kitchen silently.
"Go and prepare a fish for me." Xiao Ran said.
Wang Qiang was stunned for a moment and nodded repeatedly.
I didn't know whether to be happy or unhappy. When I walked out of the kitchen, I was stopped by a few people outside.
"Wang Qiang, don't forget us when you get rich!"
"Yes, one tael a month, and your worth will increase several times in the future."
Wang Qiang pushed the person in front of him away: "You'd better go aside! It's better not to do this job!"
Wang Qiang was sweating a little, and he always felt that something was wrong with the way Xiao Ran looked at him.
"What's going on? Why do you look so unwilling?" A fat chef walked up to Wang Qiang.
"Brother Kun, I'm not..."
This fat chef is in charge of the entire kitchen, and Wang Qiang doesn't care about playing tricks on him.
"It's not what?" Brother Kun looked at Wang Qiang. Wang Qiang had recently returned to the Chu family and had a strange reaction.
I felt something was wrong before, but I couldn't put my finger on what was wrong.
"It's okay, I just feel pressured to do things around my uncle."
Wang Qiang laughed and said no more.
I took a fish and walked to the kitchen.
"Wang Qiang, did you do something?" Brother Kun stopped at the kitchen door.
Wang Qiang was a little unhappy: "Brother Kun, are you still waiting for me to go back?"
Just as he was talking, a voice came from the kitchen: "Is the fish ready yet?"
Brother Kun finally gave way, and Wang Qiang breathed a sigh of relief.
But when I just walked into the kitchen and saw Xiao Ran's joking face, I suddenly felt that it would be better to be outside!
At least he could make up lies and deceive a few people outside. Xiao Ran didn't ask any questions and just kept staring at him, which was a bit creepy.
"Take care of it and give it to me." Xiao Ran did not take the fish.
Wang Qiang was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and knocked the fish out skillfully, but his hands were shaking a little, then he disemboweled it, cleaned it, and put it on a plate.
"What do you plan to do?"
"Steamed."
Looking at the cleaned fish, Xiao Ran was very satisfied.
"By the way, some of the ingredients I want are not here. I will write to you then and you can go look for them."
This is a trivial matter. Wang Qiang usually goes shopping, and he can get some kickbacks, so he nodded immediately.
"OK."
Helping Xiao Ran steam the fish, Xiao Ran fried some broccoli and a stick of corn, and sent someone to invite Chu Yanhong to eat.
During this period, he didn't say another word to Wang Qiang, but Wang Qiang looked tormented.
It wasn't until Xiao Ran left that he breathed a sigh of relief.
But not long after Xiao Ran left, Laifu sent a piece of paper with the ingredients to be prepared.
Wang Qiang didn't dare to delay, for fear that Xiao Ran would need it at night. At first, these ingredients looked like simple meat and vegetables, but when he saw the fruits, Wang Qiang was dumbfounded. He had never heard of this?
"What is dragon fruit?" Wang Qiang murmured to himself.
After thinking about it, I still had to go out and look for it.
Xiao Ran was relieved when he learned that Wang Qiang had gone out, and took Laifu to Wang Qiang's house.
Dragon fruit is definitely not available here, it's just to delay time.
"Search carefully." Xiao Ran looked at Wang Qiang's room. There were not many things, and it didn't look like he was rich.
Laifu stepped forward to search carefully, but found nothing.
"Nothing." Laifu shook his head.
Xiao Ran was also a little surprised: "Do you have any silver?"
"Not a single copper coin." Laifu shook his head: "However, I have never seen this thing before. You can take a look."
As he said this, a black object came up. Xiao Ran looked at the petal shape, which looked a bit like a wooden ornament. It should not be something a man would have.
"What is this?" Xiao Ran was a little confused.
"But it doesn't look like Wang Qiang's stuff?"
Looking at what was obviously a woman: "Does he have a wife?"
Laifu shook his head. He had gone to investigate Wang Qiang before, but he didn't have a wife or even a family member.
"But I heard that Wang Qiang gambled, but it was just for fun. It didn't seem to be an addiction."
In this case, the previous statement made by that person does not make sense.
At noon, Xiao Ran also saw that Wang Qiang was neat and tidy, and he didn't look like a sneaky person.
"Put it back first." Xiao Ran handed the thing back.
Laifu restored the room to its original state and followed Xiao Ran out of the room.
It wasn't until dark that Wang Qiang came back from outside, but he still found that his room had been ransacked.
At this time, Xiao Ran was about to cook again.
Xiao Ran seemed a little surprised that he didn't buy dragon fruit.
Wang Qiang stopped what he was doing and looked at Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran was still busy cooking and called Wang Qiang several times, but there was no response. He turned around and saw Wang Qiang looking directly at him.
"What's your expression?" Xiao Ran didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Uncle, do you doubt me?" Wang Qiang hesitated for a long time before speaking.
Xiao Ran didn't seem to expect that Wang Qiang would ask such a question. It took him a while to react and waved his hand: "What are you thinking about?"
"Uncle, if you have anything, you can ask me directly. I won't lie to you."
After hearing this, Xiao Ran straightened up and looked at Wang Qiang.
"Someone said that you stole the account book."
Wang Qiang's eyes widened, and then he knelt down with a plop: "I stole it."
"Ah?" Xiao Ran was a little surprised. Are you admitting it now?
"Did you steal it?" Somewhat unbelievable.
"Yes, I can't help it." Wang Qiang's eyes were red and he slowly lowered his head.
Xiao Ran didn't expect Wang Qiang to admit it so happily, and his face dropped for a while: "Do you know how much damage this will cause to the Chu family?"
"I...I know."
Seeing that the matter was revealed, Wang Qiang did not want to hide it.
"It's just that I can't help it...he..." Wang Qiang didn't know what to say.
"No matter what the reason is, you can't just steal the ledger."
