After a busy morning and noon, the chefs and staff of Zuixianlou were already tired and hungry, and almost collapsed.
A group of people sat around the table, and when Master Zizhang came out, everyone started to move!
Although Qiao Zizhang is still young, he learned it step by step from Master Qiao. Accounts and objects, no matter how big or small, are all familiar by heart.
After several rounds, Shopkeeper Xu almost cried.
If I had known that these tables, chairs, benches and tableware were so expensive, I wouldn't have smashed so much, no, no, no, I wouldn't have smashed any of them! Shopkeeper Xu was crying, his heart was about to break, he paid the money obediently, and came out of Zuixianlou in a dejected state.
"Master Zizhang!" He greeted gently and warmly.
"Hey, everyone is here! Why don't you eat? The soup is getting cold, add a few more dishes, it's mine!" Qiao Zizhang's smiling eyes shone with shrewdness.
"I'm just waiting for you! Master Zizhang, let's taste the fresh soup and fragrant cakes of Sai Laotang!" Rourou got up and invited.
"Hehe, that's good too! I've heard for a long time that the chefs of Zuixianlou have outstanding craftsmanship, but I haven't tasted it once. No one will believe me when I tell it. Hehe, today I will drink our own fresh soup with everyone! "Qiao Zizhang treats people with gentleness and generosity, without the slightest air of a young master from his master.
"Master Zizhang, you can't just drink soup! There are also fragrant cakes!" Xiao Wu muttered from the side.
"Master Zizhang, don't you know that today's cakes are all made by Brother Xiao Wu!" Rourou looked at Xiao Wu, then at Qiao Zizhang, and explained with a smile.
"Hey, how can I have such great ability, it was all taught by Rou'er! I'll just do it..." Xiao Wu scratched his head. Blushed.
Chef Zhang sat on the sidelines silently, not feeling well in his heart, it was taught by Rou'er and Sister! snort! A little bastard, in just half a day's work, he threw the master out of the sky! See if I come back without breaking your legs!
Everyone was laughing and laughing, those who served the soup served the soup, and those who divided the cakes divided the cakes.
Gentle rubbed the sore shoulder again, after working for a long time. Although it was already past the meal time, the feeling of exhaustion still overwhelmed everything, and naturally the energy was not good.
"Rou'er, you're exhausted! Drink the hot soup quickly, you can go back in the afternoon first, there's dad here." Wen Shouzheng poured out a bowl of soup for Wen Rou with distress.
"Father, I'm fine. I'll just take a rest later." She said with a gentle smile.
"Drink a bowl of soup first, and eat something to replenish your strength." Wen Shouzheng said with concern.
At this time, Chef Zhang was holding the soup bowl in front of him, his brows were furrowed, and there was a tangled look on his face.
"Master, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Wu turned his head.
"Oh, nothing!" Chef Zhang smiled bitterly. Picking up the chopsticks, he vigorously stirred the hot soup a few times, took a long breath, and drank a bowl of soup in a few gulps.
"This soup..." Rourou picked up the bowl, just about to blow on the hot air.
Suddenly, he stopped, staring blankly at the bowl of soup in his hand, and smelling it carefully.
"Rou'er, what's wrong?" Wen Shouzheng asked.
Gentle didn't reply, and immediately put his nose into the big soup basin and sniffed carefully.
"Everyone, don't drink, there is something wrong with this soup!" Rourou said loudly.
"There is a problem!" At the moment. Everyone who was drinking the soup was shocked!
"Hehe, girl Rou'er, don't talk nonsense, what's wrong with this soup! Fresh ingredients were boiled early in the morning, and all the guests at noon drank it. It's all from the same pot of soup, what's wrong with it!" Tang Da The chef chuckled. Immediately added a large bowl.
"Sister Rou'er, you and Chef Wen made this soup by yourself. Aren't you worried that we'll drink it all? Hahahaha!" Yuanzi said with a smile. He filled another big bowl and drank it with a gulp.
"Father, this soup..." Ruan hesitated.
"Rou'er, what's wrong?" Wen Shouzheng asked in a low voice, only he knew his daughter best.
"Father, I can't tell. I always feel that there's something more in it." She replied softly.
"Oh? Why don't you try it, what have you seen too much?" Wen Shouzheng suggested in a low voice as he looked at the soup bowl tenderly and suspiciously.
"I smelled it just now, and it has a very strange smell, faint, there is no such thing in cooking, I can't distinguish it, and it must be useless to taste it." Meek was a little embarrassed.
"It's not an ingredient for cooking. Could it be that someone added something inedible to the soup..." Wen Shou looked shocked.
"Don't drink, everyone!" Wen Shouzheng shouted.
"Shouzheng, what's wrong with you?" Chef Zheng was about to pick up the bowl when he was taken aback.
"Chef Wen, what were you and Sister Rou'er talking about just now? Why can't you drink this soup? Didn't all the guests at noon drink it?" Xiao Wu asked curiously.
"My father said you can't drink it, but you can't drink it!" Ruan Rou snatched the big soup bowl from the table, and didn't allow anyone to fill it up.
For a moment, everyone at the table looked suspicious. What happened to the father and daughter today
At this moment, Chef Zhang's face was slightly hot. Fortunately, he put down the soup bowl just now, otherwise, his hands would definitely be shaking at this time.
"Ouch, ouch! My stomach..." During the awkward stalemate, Yuanzi covered his stomach with his hands, showing a look of extreme pain.
"Brother Yuanzi, what's wrong with you?" Rourou was surprised.
"I don't know, suddenly...suddenly my stomach hurts so much, I can't do it, I have to go..." Before he could finish speaking, Yuanzi covered his stomach with one hand and his buttocks with the other, and ran to the hut like a rabbit with his waist bent.
"Hehe, this kid must have stolen something. You will be punished now. Don't worry, everyone. Chef Tang saw Yuanzi's indecent behavior on the dining table, and thought that Master Zizhang was here, so he hurriedly Circus.
But before the words fell, "Oh, no, no, I... I'll excuse you for a moment!" Chef Tang's stomach was cramping like colic, and his round face was twisted badly immediately, and he didn't finish his sentence. Just rushed out.
"Oops, my stomach..."
"stomachache… "
Almost at the same moment, all the chefs and fellows who drank the soup just now had abdominal pains unbearable, and even more fellows who hadn't had time to drink the soup just now dropped the soup bowls in their hands in fright.
"There's something wrong with this soup!" Qiao Zizhang's expression changed. road.
Immediately, all the people present were shocked.
"Ouch!" Chef Zhang suddenly turned pale, covering his stomach with his hands, in great pain.
"Quick! Xiao Wu, hurry up and help Chef Zhang!" Seeing this, Wen Shouzheng hurriedly ordered.
For a while, the dining table was bustling just now. It immediately became a mess.
Qiao Zizhang looked serious.
"Miss Wen, you were the first to find something wrong with this soup just now. How did you find out?"
"I..." Ruan hesitated, her nose and mouth changed so much after rebirth, she couldn't tell everyone that she smelled the soup herself!
at this time. Everyone also felt strange, just now everyone drank it and didn't find anything wrong, how did Rou Rou know
"Master Zizhang, my father and I made this soup by ourselves. We are very clear about the color and taste of the soup. Although I didn't taste it just now, I found that the color of the soup was slightly different when I held it in my hand. That's when I suspected that there was something wrong with the soup. "Tenderly said.
"Oh? So, is there something wrong with the soup for the guests at noon?" Qiao Zizhang asked with concern.
"That's not a problem at all, please rest assured, Young Master Zizhang!" Wen Rou replied slowly.
Qiao Zizhang breathed out lightly, "The back kitchen is clean and safe first, and then the food is exquisite and the craftsmanship is exquisite. Now, something like this happened to the back kitchen of my Zuixianlou! Chef Wen, this matter is very important , you are the number one chef of Zuixianlou, Zizhang invites you to take charge of this matter, Shopkeeper Li. You are responsible for assisting, and you must investigate the matter thoroughly."
"Master Zizhang, don't worry, we will do our best!" Wen Shouzheng and shopkeeper Li agreed.
"Well, if that's the case, I'll go back first. My father is away these few days. I hope that when my father comes back in three days, he can give me a satisfactory explanation!" Qiao Zizhang got up and left.
"Quick! Hurry up and invite the doctor!" Seeing that the young master of the host family had just left. Shopkeeper Li started to make a fuss.
"What's going on here? What's in the soup..." Rourou's mind was in a mess, let's listen to the doctor's opinion first!
After a while, the toilet in Zuixianlou was overcrowded, and the people in it had nothing to do. The people outside couldn't wait, and a few young apprentices couldn't take it anymore, so they ran directly to the firewood pile in the backyard to solve it on the spot.
"Doctor, what's going on?" Wen Rou asked eagerly.
"It doesn't look like poisoning, but diarrhea caused by eating something that shouldn't be eaten. Girl, what do these patients eat for lunch?" Lang Zhong said after looking at them one by one.
"That's what they eat." Wen Rou finished speaking, and hurriedly handed over a bowl of fresh soup and a piece of fragrant cake.
The doctor looked at it, smelled it, tried it again with silver needles, and shook his head: "It seems that there is no problem, the girl should go to the back kitchen to find out the reason. The diarrhea is violent, and it will be fine after the diarrhea. I will prescribe a few If you take the medicine for regulating the intestines and stomach, it will be the same." The doctor pondered for a moment, then wrote down the prescription with a pen.
After finishing stretching, he took the medicine again, and order was restored in Zuixianlou.
"Mother's! It's okay for the guests to drink! On the contrary, we hard-working people have something to do, and someone must be a hindrance! If you find it out, you will never let it go lightly!" Chef Tang cursed while leaning on the stool.
"Everyone, go back and rest! If you don't have diarrhea, stay and help!" Wen Shouzheng counted the number of people, and the rest of the staff can be picked up at night.
"Father, the final preparation of today's soup is done in our small kitchen, I suspect that the problem lies in the last step!" Gentle approached.
"Oh? Have you tried it all?" Wen Shouzheng asked softly.
"Well, I have tasted all kinds of soups sent by other chefs, and they are all right, but this pot after mixing together, why does it feel like there is something more..." Rourou really couldn't figure it out.
"Stone! Come here! When I went to get pigeon soup from Chef Soup, did anyone come in and out of the small kitchen?" Wen Shouzheng suddenly remembered something.
