After entering the book, I emptied the warehouse of my foster mother's house to farm

A murder occurred in Zhima Hutong behind Zuixianlou.

The deceased was Old Man Qi, a cook in the kitchen of Zuixianlou. I heard that there was a cut on his neck. When he was found, a large pool of blood had already coagulated. His eyes were wide open and they never closed until his death.

When Yueying returned to Zuixianlou, the bold and bored diners were still talking in the lobby, as if they had seen with their own eyes how Old Man Qi was killed. The scene was very vivid.

Those still sitting there were all old customers. The shopkeeper didn't want to offend them directly, and he didn't have the heart to check the bill, so he just sat at the counter and listened to these people talking nonsense.

It’s a pity that I didn’t go to the teahouse to tell stories.

"The shopkeeper's."

Moony knocked on the counter.

The shopkeeper came back to his senses and recognized her at a glance. She had been here an hour ago and packed a roast duck. He stood up and asked, "Miss, what else do you need?"

"I want to ask you about some people."

Want to know something?

That's more than one.

The shopkeeper looked puzzled and was about to refuse when he heard Yueying lower her voice and say a few words in a voice that only the two of them could hear. He was stunned for a moment.

"girl......"

Yueying's voice was a little louder: "Boss, you don't want people to know that you sell roast duck..."

"Girl, backyard please."

How could the shopkeeper dare let people know that the roast duck he sold was poisonous, and now it has poisoned people.

Ji Mansion, formerly the residence of Master Ji, the maid of Jiahe County Lord, he believed what Yueying said.

The shopkeeper's surname was Xiang. He invited Yueying to the backyard with some fear and asked someone to serve tea. Then he spoke louder: "Miss, is the eldest master okay now?"

God bless you, please nothing happen to me!

"God bless you, if anything happens to him, it won't be me who comes here."

When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

However, he immediately protested his innocence.

Zuixianlou has been open in Kyoto for many years. The shopkeepers have been replaced one after another, and the roast duck craftsmen have been serving Zuixianlou for generations. If such a problem occurs in Zuixianlou, they will be the first to suffer, so it is impossible for them to have any bad intentions.

Why would Ke Jia and the county lord's maid tell such a lie?

Fraudulent money?

There were countless dignitaries who came to Kyoto to eat roast duck, but there had never been such a farce.

The shopkeeper could actually take Yueying to report to the police, but the matter became more and more serious, which would do more harm than good to the restaurant.

Yueying didn't come to listen to him complain about his injustice. She interrupted his mumbling and said to him, "Do you remember the guests who came to the restaurant today?"

Zuixianlou is packed with guests every day, how can I remember all of them?

However, in order to maintain the customer base, the shopkeeper registers the guests coming and going every day.

Who these people are, who they have met, how many times a month they come, and who has a good relationship with whom, are all listed one by one to the shopkeeper when he entertains guests. In addition, key customers are cultivated, and when there are new dishes in the restaurant, these guests will be invited to taste them first.

"I can't remember everything, but I have a registration list for floors above the second floor."

Oh?

This is not like giving someone a pillow when they feel sleepy. Having a record book is more authentic than direct recollection.

"Bring it to me and take a look."

I immediately went to the shopkeeper to get today's booklet.

Yueying opened the booklet, flipped from the first page to the fourth page, and saw a familiar name on the last entry.

Then, she closed the booklet and gave it back to the shopkeeper: "Thank you."

The shopkeeper held the booklet in his hands and looked at Yueying's back as she left, hardly daring to believe his eyes and ears.

Leaving now?
