Ah? The ladies I stabbed have come true.

Chapter 2 Food Controversy
"Madam, madam, what's wrong with you? Do you have a fever?"

A maid saw Huang Qingwan's cheeks were pink and asked hurriedly.

"No, I'm fine."

"Will the general come today?"

Hearing Huang Qingwan say this, the maid beside her immediately felt a little indignant.

"Madam, the general hasn't come to your place for seven or eight years. I wonder if he has forgotten that you even exist."

Huang Qingwan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

She must never let any other man touch her body except Su Lang.

Think of this.

Huang Qingwan asked tentatively.

"The new food manager, is his name Su Mo? I heard that he cooks delicious food."

When the two maids heard Huang Qingwan mention Su Mo, their eyes lit up.

The slightly plump maid spoke immediately.

He talks endlessly.

"Madam, do you also know Manager Su?"

"I tried the candied sweet potato he made. It was so fragrant and delicious."

The thin maid felt a little unbalanced.

"You only took one bite of what? It's clearly half a plate."

"That was given to us by the housekeeper."

"You didn't leave any for me!"

The wealthy maid raised her eyebrows.

"Madam didn't say anything, but you're so excited."

Huang Qingwan was annoyed by the noise.

"Stop talking!"

"Chunzhu, find a way to compensate Shaoyao!"

Seeing the lady angry, the two maids quickly lowered their heads.

The wealthy maid spoke cautiously.

"Yes, ma'am."

Recover a little bit.

Huang Qingwan sorted out her thoughts.

"Today is Lin'er's birthday. She should be here to pay her respects soon. Let's put on some makeup first."

At this time, Shaoyao noticed the red mark on Huang Qingwan's neck.

"Ma'am, your neck."

Huang Qingwan looked at the red marks on her neck and recalled the suffocating pain she felt when she was hanged.

Everything I have experienced before.

It's a dream.

Or is it true?

She couldn't tell.

……

"Yeah, it's okay, just put on a silk scarf later."

"By the way, if you run into that steward Su in the outer courtyard, ask him to make me a plate of candied sweet potatoes and see if it's as delicious as you say. And by the way, ask him if he can make Green Willow Oriole's Song."

"Okay ma'am!"

……

kitchen.

The place was already bustling with activity at this time. After Su Mo checked the accounts with the servant who was out in charge of purchasing, he found that two carps were missing, a lamb leg was missing from the mutton, three pounds of river shrimp were missing, and five fresh mushrooms and some precious spices were also missing.

This is not Earth.

Spices are extremely precious.

The smaller portions are more expensive than all the previous ingredients combined.

Today is the second young lady's birthday, and these spices were specially purchased for the banquet.

What happened made the servant in charge of purchasing break out in a cold sweat.

"Manager Su, I've clearly counted everything, and I don't know what went wrong."

Su Mo ignored the servant's reaction.

Instead, he looked at Master Liu behind him.

When Master Liu saw Su Mo's evasive gaze, he unconsciously turned his body to the other side of the stove, avoiding looking at Su Mo's face.

Su Mo's face was sullen.

You can tell at a glance that it was Master Liu who took it.

But now we have no evidence, so we can't do anything to Master Liu.

Although I'm new here, I can't just let it go like this.

Subsequently.

Su Mo shouted in a serious tone:
"Everyone, stop what you're doing. Something's missing from the kitchen. This is a serious matter!"

"Now, immediately, take out the hidden items. And if I find out that anyone knows about this and doesn't report it, they will be punished as if they stole it!"

Hearing this, everyone stopped immediately.

The kitchen, which was originally bustling with activity, felt a little cold.

At this time, a thin chef came over.

"Manager Su, what's wrong? Is something lost? Do you want to check it again?"

Su Mo shook his head.

"Master Ma, that's not necessary. Xiao Wang and I have already checked it three times."

After hearing this, Master Ma immediately looked at the servant in charge of purchasing.

"Xiao Wang, didn't your uncle tell you before? After you deliver the things, you must stay close to them and wait until Manager Su comes to inspect them before you can leave."

"Why won't you listen?"

Xiao Wang was so anxious that he almost cried. His uncle was the housekeeper Guo, and he had finally found him such a lucrative job, but how could something go wrong on the first day!

"I just had to pee urgently, and Master Liu asked me to keep an eye on it, so I left!"

"Yes, Master Liu!" Xiao Wang immediately took two steps at a time and came to Master Liu.

"Master Liu!"

"You were the only one looking at these things just now. What happened? Did you take them?"

"You can't slander good people with empty words!"

Master Liu was so excited that his fat face trembled and he shouted at the top of his voice.

It makes me feel like I have suffered a great injustice!
But he never dared to look at Su Mo, for fear that someone would see something.

Then Master Liu took advantage of his big body and grabbed the purchasing boy's collar.

"Xiao Wang, can I steal your things?"

"Could it be that you are corrupt and slandering others?"

When Xiao Wang heard this, he became anxious, broke free from Master Liu, picked up the kitchen knife beside him and raised it up.

"What did you say."

"Try saying that again!"

"Damn it!"

Young people are hot-tempered.

A little carelessness can result in death.

Master Ma on the side quickly went over and restrained Xiao Wang.

"Xiao Wang, don't be impulsive!"

Su Mo on the side was also a little troubled. In ancient times when there was no surveillance, for things like this, the only thing they could do was to give Master Liu a warning and then find a chance to drive him out.

But it would be bad if someone died.

Then, Su Mo stepped forward and snatched the kitchen knife from Xiao Wang's hand.

"Since no one admits it, let's find it."

“Find it out and cook it!”

After saying that, everyone stopped wasting time and started searching everywhere.

Although it is winter.

Beads of sweat kept falling from Master Liu's forehead.

finally.

A kitchen helper found the lost ingredients and spices in an inconspicuous bamboo basket.

These things were wrapped in white cloth and hidden in a very secret place.

Xiao Wang was overjoyed to see that his things were found.

"found it!"

"found it!"

"I just said I'm not greedy!"

Su Mo had a serious expression on his face.

Looking at the people in the kitchen.

"No matter who did this, I want to give him a warning."

"If you don't want others to know, don't do anything except yourself."

"Next time we catch him, it won't be as easy as it is now!"

"If I don't send you to jail for a few years, I will write the name Su Mo backwards!"

After saying that, Su Mo glared at Master Liu fiercely.

We must find a reason to kick this guy out of the kitchen!
Master Liu, however, had an indifferent expression on his face.

He has been cooking here for more than 20 years. What can you, a new kitchen manager, do to me?

Seeing this, Su Mo angrily scolded everyone.

"Get to work, everyone get to work!"

"Don't miss breakfast!"

Afterwards, everyone continued to work according to the procedure.

Xiao Wang also breathed a sigh of relief at this time.

"Manager Su, if I hadn't found it, I really don't know what to do."

Seeing Xiao Wang like this.

Su Mo already had a preliminary plan in mind at this time.

"Well, it's okay. Tell your uncle about this when the time comes, and let your uncle teach you some things to pay attention to."

Xiao Wang didn't think much about it.

"Well, I will, Manager Su. I've learned my lesson after this incident."

"Okay, go and do your thing."

"okay!"

……

At this moment, Chunzhu and Shaoyao came from the inner courtyard to the outer courtyard and walked all the way to the kitchen.

Seeing Su Mo, two maids hurried over.

"Manager Su."

"Manager Su."

Seeing the two pretty maids, Su Mo calmed down.

This is the general's wife's personal maid and cannot be neglected.

"Why are the two sisters here?"

At this time, Chunzhu chuckled.

"Madam heard that your candied sweet potatoes are delicious, so she wants you to make her a plate. By the way, she also wants to know if you can make the Green Willow Oriole's Song."

The green willow warbler is singing?

what is that?
Su Mo immediately shook his head.

"No, no, I've never heard of this dish before."

"Ma'am, you want candied sweet potatoes, right? Okay, I'll make it right away!"

"I guess you two sisters haven't eaten yet. I'll make some extra for you to take back."

"Manager Su is such a nice person..."
