Jiang Li came to the "Daily Dangerous Swallows" news agency because of several programs that he has frequently cooperated with recently.

One is the opening of Mengli Township. As a two-star food critic, he and Feifei have done several food explorations.

The second is to prepare for the upcoming "Weiyan Food Festival" - he will be one of the judges for a small competition in the event.

Liu Feifei was asked about this person by [-], thought for a while, and said seriously: "He seems to be nothing special, he is very nice and cheerful. When he came, he brought small gifts for all the staff of our program group, yes Special snacks from the capital."

Fang Haoyang said: "Is it the beef jerky you brought back that day?"

Liu Feifei nodded: "It's delicious, right? Half of it was lost when I got it back. I knew it was you who did it..."

As she spoke, she showed some complaints, and her good boyfriend immediately apologized.

The two of them suddenly started flirting with each other again, and were interrupted by three zeros.

"Except for this? When recording the program, did he talk to Wang Pass?" San Ling asked.

Liu Feifei frowned: "It's impossible for me to stare at Xiao Wang all the time... But I don't think they have any contact with each other. He is a commentator from the capital, and the second star is only for us to curry favor with him. He basically doesn't take the initiative to make friends with anyone." Bar."

Zhong Yu listened and looked at the one-way glass.

Jiang Li is a man with a long face, his nose is slightly collapsed, and the rest of his facial features don't have a particularly hip-pull part, so he looks like an ordinary person overall.

On the contrary, he has a bit of arrogance, as Liu Feifei said, the status of a "two-star commentator" is extraordinary, and he is used to being flattered by everyone in the news agency.

When being questioned at this moment, he also showed a little impatience.

Fortunately, his alibi was strong, and there were no other doubts, so he was allowed to leave soon.

When he got up, Zhong Yu outside suddenly said something without beginning or end.

"Three Zero, is there any movement in the Mengyu Village that Ah Hu is staring at?"

San Ling was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized: "Oh, hehe, Mengli Township. At the beginning of the opening, it was very popular. You have to get a seat for dinner, and you have to queue up the morning before. Ah Hu's subordinates sneaked in once , I was scolded by customers for jumping in the queue, and now I can only guard at the back door, saying that the smell makes me hungry every day, ha ha."

Zhong Yu was speechless, and frowned uncomfortably: "Where's the monitoring? It can always be robbed."

"Looking at it." San Ling said, "But there are not many cameras in this store, which is quite strange."

Zhong Yu didn't say anything more, meaning you can figure it out yourself.

Seeing Jiang Li leaving, he was about to turn around to leave, but suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Another acquaintance came in behind the one-way glass, and this time he could even be called by his name.

Bai Xiaoxu.

"This is also a food reviewer." Three Zero glanced at the information, and said, "It's better than the one just now, Samsung."

Wen Jin let out a wow.

Then she was afraid that her team leader would not understand the power of it, and explained: "The highest food commentator is four stars, and those are all well-known masters! There are only seven or eight active members of the alliance?"

Thirty Zero smiled honestly: "I'm not sure."

"Oh, it's amazing anyway. That's why it's amazing for young people to be able to achieve three stars. This Bai Xiaoxu has some skills. In time, he might become a household name..." Wen Jin said, seeing Zhong Yu's indifferent expression, he slowly withdrew it praise.

Harmful, as everyone knows, the captain doesn't seem to lose to anyone, ahem.

"Since he is so powerful," Zhong Yu said calmly, "Then why is Jiang Li the judge of the food festival instead of him?"

"Uh..." Wen Jin was stunned.

Although the "Summer Food Festival" is a large-scale event in Weiyan District, and the planning proposal has been approved by the administrator department, the administrator will not and has no right to ask about the content of the event, the setting of links, and the invited guests. .

There must be a reason for Jiang Lin to be a judge.

Zhong Yu never gets entangled in something he doesn't understand, he just asks a casual question, and returns his attention to Bai Xiaoxu.

Wear a pigtail, frown, patterned shirt.

I was still wandering around the news agency downstairs yesterday and was caught by him.

It was Qiu Qiu's friend - "Xiaobai".

"Seven o'clock yesterday morning?" Bai Xiaoxu had dark circles under his eyes: "I'm sleeping at home. Seven o'clock, brother, is that the time humans should be awake?"

He said this with great sincerity, and both the interrogator and Wen Jin outside were moved, and nodded with tears in their eyes.

"Last night, I wrote the manuscript until after two o'clock, and then fell asleep. The wristband has sleep records, and there are surveillance cameras outside my house... There should be one, right? Although Tengluo Street is a bit broken." Bai Xiaoxu said.

Someone took his address and quickly found the records. Indeed, Bai Xiaoxu went home at nine o'clock the night before, and stayed at home until ten o'clock yesterday morning.

"Do you know Wang Pass?" the interrogator said.

"Who?" Bai Xiaoxu was at a loss.

"Liu Feifei——is the assistant of the hostess of the news agency. Everyone calls him Xiao Wang." The interrogator showed Xiao Wang's photo.

Bai Xiaoxu's expression was still blank, he scratched his hair, and his braids were messed up: "I came to the news agency the day before yesterday to talk about the draft of the food festival, and I didn't record the program. I haven't seen the host, let alone her assistant. "

So far, Bai Xiaoxu has no doubts here.

He was asked a few more irrelevant questions, drank a stomach full of bad green tea, and left the tea room in a daze.

Bai Xiaoxu was in a bad mood, and stood in front of the elevator for a while with a head that seemed to weigh eight hundred catties due to lack of sleep, but couldn't wait.

He felt a little suffocated, so he turned to the stairwell with a sullen face.

The moment he pushed open the door, Bai Xiaoxu almost bumped into someone. He immediately hid his gloomy expression, lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry...ah, it's you! Why are you here..."

Zhong Yu stared at him condescendingly for a few seconds, then slowly put his hand on the doorknob, and twisted it off with force.

The attitude is very arrogant.

"I'm a lock changer." He held up the innocent handle of the heroic sacrifice.

Bai Xiaoxu: "..."

Bai Xiaoxu nodded numbly: "Ah, thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard." Zhong Yu nodded in satisfaction: "Changing locks is my job."

Bai Xiaoxu nodded sharply.

"You want to watch me change?" Zhong Yu asked.

"No, no, you're busy, you're busy." Bai Xiaoxu said, running downstairs awkwardly and dazedly.

After leaving the range of this strange person's aura and bathed in the warm sunlight, he slowly exhaled.

Bai Xiaoxu is still a little bit unable to recover.

Someone actually died.

Oh, he didn't die, but the serious injury that hasn't escaped danger until now is already very serious.If it weren't for a coincidence, it would not be surprising that "Assistant Xiao Wang" died eight hundred times under such circumstances.

It must be related to Jiang Li and the others.

Bai Xiaoxu thought silently.

It is even more inseparable from the "Dream Carp Township" that falsified ingredients and even bought off the senior management of the food review agency.

But everything was just his conjecture, he had no evidence, and he didn't know who to tell.

Bai Xiaoxu has never met a few bad people in his life, and he can feel depressed for several days when he is hit and quarreled by strangers on the road. The recent incident is really beyond the range of his emotions.

When he thinks of the delicacy he loves and is willing to spend his whole life being used and defiled in this way, he can't wait to become a fighter pilot and trample over the big carp on the signboard of Mengli Township, until it turns white!

After a while, Bai Xiaoxu let go of his tightly clenched hands, and slumped his shoulders in frustration.

It's a pity that he is actually a little commentator with no power to restrain a chicken, let alone a big carp, even Qiu Qiu's little goldfish can't be pushed down by him.

He doesn't even have the right to speak - the manuscript he wrote to the food review agency yesterday has been "reviewed" infinitely.

I felt like a screaming chicken with its throat strangled, and it was so difficult to even make a sound.

The summer is approaching, the sun is very hot, and the fog on the empty track seems to be steaming upwards.

Bai Xiaoxu lowered his head and took a step, the terminal beeped, and it turned out that it was from Qiu Qiu, wanting to discuss with him about the signature dishes in the shop.

Bai Xiaoxu raised his spirits, thinking of Qiu Qiu, his mood brightened immediately.

He typed quickly: [Is the store opening so soon?Has anyone been here?Are you busy now?What signature dish? ]

Qiu Qiu's reply was relatively slow, and it took about a minute for the terminal to prompt again.

Qiu Qiu: [Opened.came.not busy.Magic scorpion yellow stewed dragon wings. ]

Bai Xiaoxu: "..."

WTF! ?The screaming chicken in Bai Xiaoxu's heart began to sing energetically again.

-

Qiu Qiu's "Devil's Restaurant" is located at No. 69 Cymbidium Street.

Bai Xiaoxu took public transportation, slept on the empty track for forty minutes, and almost missed the stop.

The environment of Cymbidium Street is beyond his expectation. The street is quiet and rich in vegetation, and there are also Cymphyllum trees everywhere.

Although spinosa is a fern, it grows very tall, covering the street with a lot of shade, which is very comfortable.

Before coming here, Bai Xiaoxu actually had no expectations.

Starting a restaurant is always difficult, let alone in a place like this.

So what if there is an Eden landmark—you know, there are more than tens of thousands of stores with landmarks in the alliance, and the list of the Eden community is only so small. Small stores without points will not be seen.

He has seen many shops like this, but they are all deserted.

Just as he was thinking, Bai Xiaoxu saw a blue landmark not far away.

That's it.

Stepping into the store, the first thing I feel is a chill, look, it is really deserted...

Uh.

The next moment, the text bubble rushed towards him, like a basketball hitting the door!

Bai Xiaoxu was submerged in an instant, fell on his back and almost fell, he felt that he was thumping in a pool full of ocean bubble balls, and even had the illusion that his breathing was blocked!

In the pool, there is a bright red text bubble with enlarged black font that is particularly conspicuous. If the text has sound, it must be turned on to the maximum volume.

[I really complained! 】

Qiu Qiu faced Pao Pao very seriously, with his chest out and his stomach in, and he stood up straight: "Impossible, I haven't received the notification."

【real!Ah ah ah ah how do you believe it! The Eden community stipulates that as long as there is a complaint, it will be notified!Then someone will come and check!This is the rule!I've never heard of exceptions! ! ! 】

"Yeah, that's why I wasn't complained about." Qiu Qiu was decisive, clenched his fists, and looked very confident.

[Someone must have complained, but I don't know why you didn't receive the notification! 】The text bubble seems to be about to cry.

"You said that there are no exceptions, as long as there is a complaint, there will be a notification, but I don't have it now—" Qiu Qiu looked puzzled, with a little contempt of "Why are you so stupid".

He said: "—so I must not have been complained!"

Word Bubble spit out his soul and died in battle.

Dozens of text bubbles around spit out their souls together, and finally comforted the dear friend one after another——

[Dude, did you vote in a dream? 】

[Brother, don't cry, check your email settings]

[Call Eden customer service, huh? 】

[Toxic, really poisonous, I stayed in this black shop]

[I like to watch customers cry while eating]

[Has the owner of a well-known black shop been complained today——]

Qiu Qiu was angry, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "I won't be complained!"

Text bubbles: [Damn, we will always work hard for this! ! ! 】

Bai Xiaoxu: "..."

Bai Xiaoxu felt that his life was wasted.He is now a fool who entered the Grand View Garden.

As soon as the idiot made a sound, all the virtual customers in the store noticed him, and the text bubbles swished towards the door as if they would turn around.

[Run away] [Run away! ! 】【Brother, run away, this store is poisonous, you will cry if you eat it! 】【I will cry while shouting delicious food! 】【There is still time to escape. 】【One word: Escape! 】

Bai Xiaoxu: "..."

After Bai Xiaoxu sat down in the store, the words bubbles finally stopped.

Qiu Qiu seemed very happy today, with smiles on his brows and eyes.

"Don't worry, they are actually good people. They said they wanted to complain to me, but they still didn't do so."

Bai Xiaoxu laughed dryly.

"They still chat with me when there are no customers, and they gave me opening blessings yesterday. They are all so kind." Qiu Qiu said sincerely.

The text bubbles slowly spit out their souls again.

"How is the business? Is anyone coming?" When those people stopped talking, Bai Xiaoxu slowed down a bit and looked around.

"Yes." Qiu Qiu said, "Everyone says the food I cook is delicious."

"Really?" Bai Xiaoxu was quite surprised: "I'll try it later. Oh, by the way, do you want to change the signature dish?"

Speaking of this, Qiu Qiu was a little embarrassed: "This is just the name of the dish I've heard. I haven't eaten it, and I don't know how to cook it. The guardian said he can't either. I want to ask Xiaobai if you have eaten it."

When it comes to professional topics, Bai Xiaoxu suddenly becomes more confident.

"The name of your dish is probably an exaggerated rhetorical device. There is such a culture in Chinese food. For example, cucumbers are called emeralds, fine wines are called jade liquid wine, Furong chicken slices do not have hibiscus, and golden fried rice does not have gold... I used to think I drank a soup called 'Dark clouds cover the sun' in a small shop—" Bai Xiaoxu laughed: "It's seaweed egg drop soup."

Qiu Qiu listened intently and nodded seriously.

"So, your devil scorpion yellow braised flying dragon's fin, according to my understanding, may be something like crab roe braised shark's fin." Bai Xiaoxu said, "I chose that name to attract attention."

Qiu Qiu suddenly realized, while covering his stomach.

I'm so hungry, I'm hungry again.

"But for you, the ingredients are quite difficult to prepare." Bai Xiaoxu thought for a while, a little embarrassed: "Crab roe is a seasonal ingredient, and shark fin is hard to buy now... Ah, are you planning to use this to participate in the competition?"

"Competition?" Qiu Qiu repeated.

"That's right, I didn't tell you last time that Weiyan District will hold a summer food festival, and there will be a small competition in the event." Bai Xiaoxu said: "All restaurants here should have been notified...Maybe you The store opened too late, and we will know in a few days."

"Yeah." Qiu Qiu nodded perfunctorily.

He is not interested in any competition or not at all, he only has one thought now - to eat braised shark's fin with crab roe.

"Want to eat braised shark's fin with crab roe" written all over his face.

Qiu Qiu's expression is so easy to understand, and after knowing each other for so many days, Bai Xiaoxu suddenly wanted to laugh when he saw it: "The ingredients are really..."

As he spoke, he suddenly remembered the fish jelly he had argued with Jiang Li and the others that day, and retracted the second half of the sentence.

"?" Qiu Qiu looked forward to seeing him.

"How about a lower match?" Bai Xiaoxu pondered: "Braised vermicelli with salted egg yolk?"

In Qiu Qiu's eyes, there is no distinction between high and low ingredients. Whether it is "crab roe stewed shark's fin" or "salted egg yolk stewed vermicelli", in his eyes, there are three words - "delicious".

He was about to say yes when word bubbles swarmed out again, drawing his attention to the door.

A tall man walked in, his chin raised slightly, and his attitude was rather haughty.

"Eden online?" He sneered.

Bai Xiaoxu's complexion immediately sank, and his braids curled up as if they had a soul, showing a fighting state.

He had seen this person before, and even said a few words to him.

It is the big apprentice of the chef of Mengli Township.

The author has something to say:

Qiu Qiu: Word bubbles are all doing well.

Text Bubbles: Run away! ! ! !
