Hao Xinmei said several words to Zhu Tianlei in succession, but did not hear Zhu Tianlei's voice. When she looked up, she saw Zhu Tianlei's eyes falling on the food delivery port in the kitchen. He didn't know what he was looking at, and he was very absorbed in it.
"It's nothing, I just think this hotel is... special."
Zhu Tianlei couldn't say clearly. He always felt that there was some kind of familiar feeling, but he couldn't tell what it was specifically.
"You, you have never been to a place like this. Nowadays, small restaurants with this kind of characteristics have a very good reputation. On Douyin and Huoshan Video, there are often Internet celebrity anchors recommending them. What they sell is...
feature."
Hao Xinmei felt that Zhu Tianlei was a bit rare and strange.
During this time, the little secretary in her office became obsessed with short videos. She would watch them when she had nothing to do, and she also watched some of them. It was okay to pass the time when she was bored.
"You still read these?"
"What's so strange about this? Sometimes I watch it when I'm waiting for a plane or when I'm bored, but I rarely watch boring stuff that pretends to be silly, like this special food recommendation, survival in the wild, etc.
It’s quite interesting. By the way, there is also a young anchor from Toadgou. His name is... he seems to be called Little Tiger. He is a boy, with a tiger head and a tiger brain, and he has quite a lot of fans!"
Speaking of this, Hao Xinmei seemed a little excited.
After all, she is the daughter-in-law of Tomagou. Whenever she sees something related to Tomagou, she immediately pays attention to it and pays attention wholeheartedly.
"Really? You didn't give the kid any gifts or anything?"
Zhu Tianlei knew who Hao Xinmei was talking about. He was the lively and active Huzi who was infected by the parasite last time. He had actually heard his mother say that Huzi seemed to be on TV. There was a lot of news on the Internet.
You can find it by searching, but he is famous. He also said that someone sent red envelopes to that child, and each one was worth thousands of dollars. Now it seems that instead of appearing on TV, he started a live broadcast and became a small blogger.
host.
"I swiped it, why don't I swipe it? I swiped it a few times, but I'm a kid after all, so I didn't swipe it too much, less than 10,000 yuan."
Zhu Tianlei looked at Hao Xinmei funny.
I bet that Huzi’s rewards are all paid for by his wife!
However, because of this small episode, Zhu Tianlei's attention was distracted from Chuancaikou, and the two of them chatted a lot of gossip. In short, they deliberately avoided mentioning those sensitive and easily depressing things.
matter.
"Yeah, the food is ready, I'll go get it."
Hao Xinmei suddenly stood up and walked towards the food delivery port. Zhu Tianlei was a little confused. He didn't hear anyone asking him to serve the food. How did Hao Xinmei know about it.
However, no matter what, Zhu Tianlei stood up immediately. He could not let a woman serve him. He was not used to it.
The vegetables are all fried together and placed on the table where they are passed around.
When Zhu Tianlei was serving the dishes, he subconsciously glanced inside and saw a figure with his back to him, holding a frying spoon in his hand and rinsing it with water.
This back view...
"Tian Lei, what are you looking at?"
Seeing Zhu Tianlei holding the dishes in his hands, but not intending to leave, and still staring blankly inside, Hao Xinmei felt it was too strange.
What happened to Zhu Tianlei?
It seems that I have always been a little absent-minded.
"Nothing, let's go!"
Because there was a tray with six dishes, they were all brought back in one go.
The color of the dishes is not very good, and it is incomparable with the ones in big restaurants. It is neither exquisite nor beautiful, especially the twice-cooked pork, which looks slightly black and even has signs of being burned in the pot.
Can something like this be delicious?
But Hao Xinmei had already picked up a chopstick and threw it into her mouth, with an expression of great enjoyment.
"Tian Lei, try it quickly, it's so delicious!"
Before Zhu Tianlei could react, Hao Xinmei took a piece of twice-cooked pork and stuffed it into Zhu Tianlei's mouth.
"How's it going? Is it delicious?"
Zhu Tianlei chewed it and found that it tasted really good, but... there seemed to be something in the dish.
However, the taste was not very obvious. Zhu Tianlei chewed it several times, and suddenly his expression changed.
He grabbed Hao Xinmei's chopsticks and spat out the chewed twice-cooked pork on the table.
"Tianlei, you..."
Hao Xinmei stared at Zhu Tianlei with eyes wide open. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Zhu Tianlei wink at him. Although he had doubts in his heart, he still closed his mouth.
Seeing that Hao Xinmei understood what he meant, Zhu Tianlei let go of Hao Xinmei's hand, picked up the chopsticks, and tasted the remaining five dishes one by one. Without exception, he chewed them a few times.
Then he vomited on the table.
"There's something in this dish, Xiaomei, you sit down first and I'll go to the kitchen to take a look."
"There is something, there is..."
"Shh, don't make this matter public for now. Be good, I'll go take a look and come back."
Zhu Tianlei put his hand on Hao Xinmei's shoulder, patted it twice gently, and then walked towards a small iron gate next to the dish pass.
The small iron door was dirty and worn out, with lots of rust on it, but the keyhole was very bright, and it looked like the lock had been newly replaced.
Does a kitchen need to be protected so much?
Sure enough, Zhu Tianlei put his hand on the door handle and turned it, and it was locked inside.
The kitchen of a dilapidated small restaurant has to lock the door when cooking. Even a fool can tell that something is wrong.
"What's wrong?"
"The door is locked."
Zhu Tianlei did not force the door open. After all, there were still many customers, and he did not intend to have any conflict with the people in this old restaurant before he understood the real situation.
In the catering industry, it is not uncommon to add certain things, but the quantity of the dish just added was a bit too much.
If she hadn't happened to come over with Hao Xinmei today, Hao Xinmei might still have eaten a lot of food here.
Looking at the guests at the other tables, they were all eating with great joy, and nine of the ten plates were empty.
"How do I pay?"
Hao Xinmei was completely fooled by Zhu Tianlei's actions. After a good table of dishes, she ate a few slices of twice-cooked pork, and Zhu Tianlei was about to pay.
"His restaurant is a membership system. I have 10,000 yuan in my card. I wrote down my membership number when I ordered the meal, and the restaurant will deduct it directly from the membership card."
Despite her doubts, Hao Xinmei explained to Zhu Tianlei in detail.
membership?
This place has a membership system, and Hao Xinmei can save 10,000 yuan.
"Okay, let's go out first. I'll talk to you in detail when we get out."
There are some things that are hard to say in a hotel.
Hao Xinmei did not hesitate anymore. Looking at Zhu Tianlei's expression, she could tell that this matter was quite serious.
But what exactly is in the dish?
“All dishes are added with cinnamon powder, and the amount is very large.”
After getting in the car, Zhu Tianlei opened his mouth and told Hao Xinmei what he had discovered. (To be continued)
