Chapter 596 Destruction of Evidence
"My husband has been busy all morning, so it's time to take a break." Mingruo said with a smile.
"Then let's lie down and rest for your husband." Si Haochen deliberately teased the little princess.
"Okay, you can rest." Mingruo jumped up, "I'll go by myself."
"Well~" Si Haochen deliberately stretched his tone and pointed out the tip of Ruo's nose, "Is this too impatient?"
"When I prove my patience, the criminals probably destroyed the evidence." Ming Ruo opened the wardrobe, changed into an inconspicuous dress, took off the jewelry on his head, leaving only a jade hairpin pressing his hair bun.
Si Haochen also changed his clothes and took his wife to climb over the wall to the general's mansion. Mingruo followed the directions of his memory. In less than a quarter of an hour, the two of them came outside the braised meat shop.
At this time, Manager Zhu had not come back. Since it was the meal time, the business in the shop was pretty good.
A young man cut meat and packed it according to the customer's instructions. A beautiful woman in her twenties stood behind the counter, settled the accounts and collected the money. Seeing that the young man looked respectful to her, he should be Manager Zhu's wife.
Ming Ruo raised his eyebrows slightly. The woman had a petite figure and a beautiful face. She was wearing a pink dress and a gold hairpin on her head. When she collected money and found money, a pair of jingling bracelets on her wrist made a crisp sound.
In terms of appearance, it must be that Manager Zhu is "sing" to the top. But this braised pork shop occupies three stores, which looks quite good. Looking at her outfit, Manager Zhu's family should be very good to her.
"Mrs. What are you going to weigh?" After the young man finished the busy few guests in front of him, he received Ming Ruo.
"Do you don't have any braised vegetarian dishes?" Mingruo had a 'infused ginger with 'infused' before. He had a psychological dislike for the things in this store and deliberately picked the ones that were not.
After checking secretly, the braised meats sold had not been added with ingredients. It seems that all the braised meats with ingredients were sold to the General's Mansion.
"We usually have braised eggs and dried tofu seeds, but today's vegetarian dish is broken. If my wife wants to eat it, she will have it tomorrow." The young man is like Ming Ruo's recommendation, "The pickles in our store are also delicious. Should I buy some to try it?
"I just want to buy some braised tofu." Mingruo shook his head and pulled Si Haochen away.
"The braised meat in the shop is fine?" Si Haochen raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Yes." Mingruo nodded.
There happened to be a restaurant opposite the braised pork shop. Mingruo and Si Haochen entered the restaurant and chose a private room to watch the braised pork shop to sit down.
There is a shop in front of the braised meat shop, and the backyard is the kitchen. There is an elderly middle-aged man who is busy in the backyard...
After a while, Manager Zhu brought two young men back. As soon as the two young men came back, they went to work hard.
When the young woman saw Manager Zhu come back, she smiled sweetly at him: "The head of the company is back, why have you been there for so long?"
Manager Zhu really didn't want to believe that his gentle and beautiful wife would kill their whole family. He was stunned for a moment and said the excuse he had already thought of: "The hoofs and hairs were just out of the pot, and with the soup, they lost a lot of pounds. The chef of the general's mansion weighed more than two pounds, and I lost a lot of money, so I didn't pursue it."
"Boss, please drink some water and rest." The little woman poured a bowl of tea and handed it to Manager Zhu. "The general's mansion has a big family and a big business, and he is still concerned about these three melons. He is too stingy..."
She wanted to say something else, but when she saw a guest coming, she stopped: "Auntie, what are you calling?"
"Weigh two pounds of dried tofu to me and cut half a pound of pig's ears." An old lady took out her money bag from her arms and waited to pay the bill.
"Auntie, our braised tofu has been sold out. Can you cut pig ears for you?" the little woman spoke.
"Then take half a pound of pig's ears and ten braised eggs." said the old lady.
"It's really unfortunate that our braised eggs were sold out..." The little woman looked embarrassed.
"It was sold out at noon..." The old lady only bought pig ears and left.
Manager Zhu frowned. The dried tofu and eggs didn't need to be cooked for a long time. Every time, he took out the trousers and put them in the pot. He turned off the heat after braising for a short while and soaked it in the marinade to taste. Since dried tofu and eggs are cheaper than meat and have a meaty flavor, they are the best sold in the store. He braised a large pot every day and sold until the evening.
"All the braised eggs and dried tofu today were sold out?" Manager Zhu looked at his wife suspiciously.
"Oh..." the little woman sighed, "As soon as she put the dried beans into the pot, a mouse came out from somewhere, so we drove it away, but the mouse fell into the pot...
The head of the family didn't say that when we were doing food, we just wanted to sell it clean and rest assured. I asked Uncle Zhang to pour out the pot of marinade and dried tofu..."
"..." No matter how much Manager Zhu wants to believe her, all this is too strange. The mouse is not stupid. How could it jump into the hot pot?
Seeing that the head of the house looked bad, the little woman guessed that he felt sorry for the pot of old soup. In fact, she didn't want this. However, the medicine added to the thigh before was very domineering. She became addicted to taking it once, afraid that something would cause trouble, so she had to come up with this bad plan.
"I'll go back and take a look." Manager Zhu didn't know how to face his wife at this time.
"Don't be too angry at the head. The pot of braised pork in the afternoon is fine. When the soup is mixed into two pots of soup at night, it will not delay tomorrow's business." The little woman comforted her softly.
"Yes." Manager Zhu walked to the backyard with his head down.
In the evening, Butler Su from the General's Mansion came to the braised pork shop: "Shopkeeper Zhu, there is a noble man coming to our mansion. I feel it is very good when eating your braised pork. I ask if you sell braised pork recipes?"
"This..." Manager Zhu was a little wild.
The little woman didn't wait for Manager Zhu to say anything, and then said, "That prescription is inherited from our family. My father-in-law has said it long ago. You must not sell braised pork recipes."
"That noble man is just cooking in his own house, and it will definitely not interfere with your business." Butler Su said again.
"This recipe really cannot be sold." Manager Zhu shook his head, "The general wants braised pork, and it is also necessary to deliver it to you every day."
"The noble emperor capital will not stay here for a long time." Butler Su's eyes rolled, "Shopkeeper Zhu sent someone who knows braised pork to go to the imperial capital with the noble emperor? Otherwise, you can go by yourself. That's the imperial capital. I don't know how prosperous the border town is, and others can't go for many lifetimes."
"This..." Manager Zhu looked at his wife.
The young woman said, "Can we go back or discuss with our father-in-law and mother-in-law. Let's reply to you tomorrow. Is it okay?"
"That's fine. No matter whether you can send someone or not, I'll go to the General's Mansion to talk to me tomorrow." Butler Su slapped his forehead, "By the way, when I went there, I brought ten more big-hoofed trousers like today. All the masters in our mansion love to eat."
