The years I was the shopkeeper at the Yinhun Inn Chapter 82: Zhou Shi’s suspicions are difficult to resolve, and Fatty Liang’s back cook shows off his power
Chapter 82: Zhou Shi’s suspicions are difficult to resolve, and Fatty Liang’s back cook shows off his power
"Can't believe it? Why?"
"His appearance is too coincidental." Zhou Shi looked at the door curtain raised by the person who had just buried the body and said slowly, "As a wanted suspect, he actually stayed in Jiangdu and stayed under the government's radar.
Even if you see something wrong with the body or want to seek help from someone in the vagina, you can still adopt a more cautious approach.
"Moreover, maybe the government's thinking is not entirely wrong. He was indeed present on the night of the corpse fraud, and secretly disappeared... If we assume that the recent series of strange events around Jiangdu are caused by a group of demons from different sects,
If he manipulates it in secret, then the possibility of him colluding with the corpse exorcist is not small."
After listening to Zhou Shi's words, Ruan Hunxiong also began to doubt Yu Heng.
He had to admit that although he was more than ten years older, he had been walking in the countryside since entering the underworld, and had come into contact with more dead people than living people. Although he learned more about the world through the underworld than ordinary people, in terms of thoughtfulness
, he is really not as agile as Zhou Shi, who presides over Fengde Building.
"Of course, these are just guesses, but it's better to be on guard than to have an arrow in the back."
Only then did Zhou Shi reveal from Wei Yuan that he had learned from Wei Yuan that blood ginseng was secretly grown in the residence of the Huo family.
After hearing this, Ruan Hunxiong was quite shocked. He didn't expect that the poison master had started operating in the upper reaches of the river two years ago. His plan might be far more complicated than he thought before.
"Blood ginseng and parasol, these are all things planted by the poison master. I don't know what they will be used for..."
Zhou Shi also had the same question, but he thought of some novels he had read in his previous life and had a rough guess in his mind.
"In short, we not only need to investigate the movements of the poison master, but also observe the actions of the officials, and we must also keep away the other demons hiding in the dark." Zhou Shi concluded, "I also learned the word "Guan Zhong Huo", so we can contact you in the future.
It’s more convenient.”
"Okay. If you need my help, just contact me directly."
"Uh, speaking of this..."
Zhou Shi told the story about being defeated by Iron Abacus. After hearing this, Ruan Hunxiong shook his head frequently.
"You are really... Alas, the iron abacus only calculates the accounts of the dead, so after the horseman dies, he takes the iron abacus into his tomb. Where did your old employer get it?"
"I don't know. He only said that it was a treasure that my ancestor collected after he came to Jiangdu. It was passed down as a family heirloom for one generation, and finally he gave it to me."
"How old was your old boss when he died?"
"In his seventies, he basically doesn't use iron abacus, so he is not affected."
Ruan Hunxiong sighed and said: "I have never heard of a method that can break the iron abacus and kill your life. I can't help you. Since Mr. Mo said that the merit algorithm can be tried, let's give it a try."
Zhou Shi smiled bitterly and sent Ruan Hunxiong out.
In the afternoon, he took Agui and Xue An to Yueqing Building on time.
"Shopkeeper Zhou! Well done to you guys. Please come quickly."
At this time, the interior and exterior of Yueqing Building had been decorated. Zhou Shi looked at their decoration and was filled with admiration in his heart.
"If I was asked to host a birthday banquet, I would probably only be able to think of hanging a few lanterns and mascots such as birthday peaches in terms of decoration. In terms of creativity, Yue Qinglou would be the first to win..."
Seeing him carefully watching the changes in the yard, Meng Xingyuan said with some satisfaction: "It seems that shopkeeper Zhou is very interested in my little yard, so let me introduce it to you.
"Please look at the longevity peaches on these trees. Of course, there are no peaches in this season, so I hung them up specially. The turtle in this pond is a thousand-year-old turtle that I hired from outside for a hundred taels of silver. The turtle in the pond is
There are no more or less koi, exactly fifty, which corresponds to the prefect's fiftieth birthday; there are also peach and plum trees on both sides of the door, which were transplanted yesterday, which means that the prefect has "peaches and plums all over the world", and we
When welcoming guests, you just have to walk under the tree. This is the saying of 'the peaches and plums do not say anything, but the branches make their own mistakes'..."
Zhou Shi walked and watched, listened and nodded, thinking that this Meng Xingyuan was really a master of flattery. He couldn't come up with any of these ideas.
"How about it, Shopkeeper Zhou, there is something wrong with our arrangement, please tell me more."
"It's an eye-opener, it's an eye-opener."
Meng Xingyuan smiled and said: "Now that you've finished reading, please come inside."
In the front hall, a stage was set up early, and a whole theater troupe was busy inside, preparing for tonight's performance.
"Hey, Master, how are the preparations going?" Meng Xingyuan asked an actor who looked a bit old loudly.
"Shopkeeper, we are all ready, the guys' throats are itchy!"
"Stay itching for now, wait until the prefect arrives and you show up!"
After greeting the troupe leader, Meng Xingyuan turned around and smiled at the three of them: "This is the best troupe in Jiangdu, the Sun Family Troupe. Originally, they were going north to Beijing yesterday, and I spent a lot of money and good words to do it.
Leave them alone. Alas, the prefect may know my painstaking efforts..."
Zhou Shi smiled and said: "Don't worry, your hard work is known to everyone on the road."
"I hope, I hope. Shopkeeper Zhou, brother Agui, and this one..."
"Xue An."
"...Master Xue, I have to serve the prefect in a while. If you can help me, you can take care of the counter, the dining table and the kitchen. After that, I will definitely give you a big red envelope."
Zhou Shi waved his hand and said: "No, peers help each other, but talking about money will alienate us."
One code equals one code. They came to Yueqinglou to help, not to ask for work. If they took money, it would be really embarrassing.
"Okay, okay, then Master Xue will go to the back kitchen to take a look, and I will explain to you two."
Xue An saw Zhou Shi nodding slightly at him, then left the front hall and walked into the back kitchen.
The lavishness of Yue Qing House is reflected both inside and out. The kitchen in Yue Qing House is three times the size of Fengde House, and there are more than twenty stoves. This is a necessary equipment for holding large banquets. p>
As soon as he entered the door, he saw a group of masters wearing aprons gathered in a circle, talking and laughing about something.
"That's right, when Master Liang takes action, his skills will surely shock everyone..."
"Yes, yes, let the magistrate open his eyes. Our Yueqing Building is the first floor in Jiangdu..."
"Hehe, let me tell you, the prefect has never tasted such good food even in the capital. It's so delicious!"
"Hahaha..."
The group of cooks surrounded a fat bald man and kept saying all kinds of flattering words. Xue An frowned and felt goosebumps all over his body.
It seems that the man named Liang is the head chef, and he looks very prestigious.
Just as he was about to go in, the fat man named Liang suddenly spoke:
"Hey! I'm talking about you! Where did the kid come from and didn't even look at where this place was? Did you just come in when you asked?"
Xue An took out his apron and tied it before replying: "I'm from Fengdelou here to help."
Fatty Liang was happy when he heard this: "Did you hear that? Boy, you are lost and lost far away. This is Yueqing Building!"
Seeing him smile, the chefs around him immediately burst into laughter. Apparently their chef didn't like to be happy alone.
Didn't Meng Xingyuan inform him that Xue An was coming? No, this old ruffian should be treating the kitchen as his own territory and not allowing others to urinate here, so when he sees strangers, he first establishes his prestige.
Xue An ignored him and checked the ingredients prepared in the kitchen.
While he was looking through the baskets of live fish, a big hand grabbed his shoulder and pulled him over.
"Hey, Master Liang is talking to you, don't you have ears?"
Seeing that Xue An neither apologized nor begged for mercy, Fatty Liang felt a little angry and wanted to punish this stupid young man who challenged his authority.
"Hey, are the people in Fengde Building so unruly? Are they trying to secretly add 'seasonings' to the dishes to frame us in Yue Qing Building?"
Fatty Liang spoke so harshly, but Xue An still didn't change his expression.
"You want your guests to eat this, do you still need 'condiments'?"
He raised the thing in his hand, and Fatty Liang, who had been so arrogant just now, suddenly changed his expression.
