Survival rules for restaurants: cooking and eating melons at the same time

An Qiao glanced at the darkness, asked Qi Tao to help her up and went to the kitchen, where she beat an egg and mixed it. Bring cold water to a boil, add brown sugar and ginger slices, then pour the mixed egg into the pot and add a little bit of oil.

Soon the sweet and glutinous taste covered the smell of oil and salt outside. An Qiao was pestered back into the hall, drank a large bowl, and was then sent into the house by Qi Tao.

In fact, An Qiao doesn’t really like brown sugar eggs. She always thinks they have too strong a fishy smell and are a bit greasy.

But every time I feel uncomfortable, it can really replenish my energy, so I have to bear it and drink it.

An Qiao tossed and turned all night with stomach pain, and finally fell asleep at dawn.

Qi Tao heard that An Qiao had a restless sleep all night, so he woke up in the morning and walked lightly so as not to wake An Qiao up.

Gu Qingyun also didn't sleep well that night. He couldn't tell why. Was he excited about finding a new clue, or was he afraid that the clue would be cut off here?

he does not know.

He tossed and turned all night, and before the rooster crowed, he rushed to Qin's house.

As soon as the first hint of white appeared in the east, Gu Qingyun took two steps forward and knocked on the door of the Qin Mansion.

It was quiet inside. After a while, a waiter with half-open eyes opened the door. Seeing that it was an old acquaintance, he welcomed him in.

"Who are you today, Lord Shaoqing?" the servant's voice was weak.

"Meet Master Qin. Other people from the Dali Temple will be here soon. Remember to open the door." Gu Qingyun had come here several times and had become somewhat familiar with the place.

"Yes." The servant sent Gu Qingyun to the porch, informed the inside, and waited for the maid to come to greet him before slowly retreating.

As the day dawned, people from the Dali Temple also arrived at the Qin residence. Zhao Huaiqing was holding the broken crispy bun that Kyoto Restaurant had recently launched in his hand, and he looked sleepy.

Gu Qingyun started collecting evidence only after seeing everyone had arrived, first searching some common places as usual.

Several servants and maids from the Qin Mansion were standing in the corridor gossiping.

"Aren't these the places we search every day? Is there any point? Why bother? It's not tiring."

"That's right, there's no point at all. I can't find anything, so why am I still looking for it?"

"This Dali Temple is useless. I think this Qin Mansion is about to be destroyed."

"That's right, your eldest lady is almost dead."

The gossip was interrupted by the head maid from the aunt's courtyard who came late, and the few maids who were gossiping did not dare to say a word.

They were all maids who cleaned the house, and they dared to keep silent in front of the respectable maid. Only the maid who was choked glared at them angrily, but did not dare to say a word.

The outside world was in an uproar, and the masters inside were also impatient. This matter was like the rain outside, it had been lingering for more than half a month and could not be ended.

The whole house was in a state of chaos. Seeing more and more women getting into trouble, people were even more depressed and panic-stricken.

But there is no good solution. There are sorcerers, sorcerers, doctors, and government officials in this city...

I thought about everything I could and couldn’t think of.

It didn't help at all, and made everyone unhappy.

But, I dare not speak out...

"Please bring up the menstrual belts of the ladies and servants in the mansion. We need to check them." Gu Qingyun looked at the noisy hall and spoke.

"What? Menstrual belt... This is inappropriate." Not only were the women in the family frightened, but even Master Qin thought that this Shaoqing might be crazy.

In this era of gender differences, it is not convenient to bring the menstrual belt out to the public, and it is even considered a bad omen for women these days. No one in the hall is indifferent, and everyone thinks that Lord Shaoqing has gone crazy solving the case.

Xin Hai and Zhao Huaiqing were also puzzled, but they immediately agreed, "Our Lord Shaoqing has a clue, bring it up quickly."

Only after seeing Master Qin nod did the maid go down to get it.

When the menstrual belts were brought up, many maids and young ladies blushed and looked around from time to time, looking a little embarrassed.

Gu Qingyun asked the clerk to come forward, cut open the menstrual belt, and take out the wood ash inside. He took a sample from each one and marked the owner's name.

To be on the safe side, he asked the clerk to put the entire bag into different bags and take it away.

In fact, the clerk who collected the wood ash smelled the medicinal odor as soon as it was opened, but he did not dare to say anything because he had no evidence.

At this time, after taking the samples from everyone in the Qin Mansion and calling in a few coroners who usually checked for poisons, the doctor went to the front hall.

After checking for half a day, several people found that there was indeed more or less medicinal powder. It was the kind of fine and soft powder, different from the large powder ground by Xu Du before. It should be the small medicinal powder made yesterday.

The combination of the two powders can make people lose consciousness and gradually become unconscious. If they don't use it, they will feel uncomfortable and feel powerless.

If too much of the powder enters the body, it can cause death, killing people without them even noticing.

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. No one had expected that the problem might be caused by menstruation. Many girls cried out in amazement.

They all knew how the eldest sister and the third sister died. Although they were not close to them on a daily basis, they were still blood relatives. They had not yet used menstrual belts, but if this continued, it would be their turn sooner or later.

Gu Qingyun also told Master Qin that most of the sweets in the mansion had been drugged, and the drug that was seized was sweet in nature and was specifically put in the food by Chef Li.

Several young masters and young ladies turned pale and cried loudly.

Gu Qingyun sighed, clasped his fists slightly towards Master Qin, and leaned close to his ear and said, "Master Qin, why don't Master Jia and Master Gu take concubines?"

Master Qin pulled Gu Qingyun out of the door and said, "These two masters have strange families. The maids, concubines, and prostitutes in the brothel will die mysteriously or disappear suddenly as soon as they are ready to take concubines. An old Taoist priest once said that they are not suitable for taking concubines."

"Hmm?" Gu Qingyun just felt that this old Taoist was also a liar.

"So these two are just playing outside now and won't be brought home." Master Qin smiled and put on an expression that every man knows.

Gu Qingyun didn't say anything more. He put on an expression that showed he understood everything and led everyone from the Dali Temple out.

"Is this case closed? This cook Li and her heartless husband, Xu Du. They used to work for us. I don't know how they could be so bad and heartless." Master Qin seemed to be smiling happily as he saw that the case was making some progress.

"It's basically confirmed. We just need to go back and test it again." Gu Qingyun didn't say much. He was still a little wary of the relationship between Master Qin and those two.

What if Mr. Qin's feelings for his daughter and wife are just so-so and not as good as those two? That would be like drawing water with a bamboo basket.

They all rode quickly back to the Dali Temple. A clerk in front reported back that Xu Du had started delivering the medicine powder again.
