Food starts with Mapo Tofu

They were very dissatisfied with West's attitude of not finishing the sentence in one breath, but they had already talked about this point, so they could only continue to ask.

"Who did you meet?"

"Jello! It's the man who is often with Miss Anna. I seemed to accidentally drop a fork when I was walking, but he didn't pick it up for me. Instead, he patted me on the shoulder and told me that the fork fell off. So I turned around and went back to pick it up," West said.

"Why didn't you say that before?"

"Because I didn't think that he was suspected of doing such a thing before, but when I mentioned Mr. Garcia just now, I just remembered that it seems that just a few days ago, I seemed to hear the conversation between Mr. Gero and Miss Anna. , It seems that Mr. Garcia didn't know about the acquaintance between them.

And Mr. Gero came to this ship because of Anna, so I feel..."

West didn't finish his sentence, but the second officer of the Platinum Star who was in charge of the interrogation already understood what he meant.

"Okay, I see. You stay here for a while. If you have no problems afterwards, we will release you and give you a compensation."

After speaking, the second officer turned around and went out, and then went to several other rooms to ask questions, summarized the situation and went to the captain.

On the Platinum Star, the captain is naturally responsible for the safety of the entire ship and the communication with the port base station and some distinguished guests on board.

The chief mate is mainly responsible for the life of the ship, deck maintenance, cargo stowage, etc., and is also the captain's assistant.

As for the position of the second mate, second only to the captain and the first mate, he is responsible for the navigation, mooring and driving of the ship, as well as the planning and implementation of the route and the correction of the chart.

And on the Platinum Star, the second officer is also responsible for the security.

Mr. Huo is quite special on the ship. The supervisor's duties and personal status are basically equivalent to the second officer, and he is also very trusted by the captain.

Therefore, after this kind of thing happened, Mr. Huo was the first thing the captain found. After handing over the follow-up work for the guests in the kitchen and waiters, he asked the second officer to take someone to conduct an investigation on several suspects. interrogation.

He and the first mate were only responsible for appeasing the mood of some of the guests, as well as dealing with the aftermath of the murder case.

Then the second officer first went to Paul, who was Alexander Garcia's competitor. After all, in West's confession, the dining car left his sight twice, one of which was because of Paul.

But he was very polite when he found Paul.

After a brief inquiry, although the other party answered his question, he acted reluctantly all the time, as if he suspected that he was some huge fault, and the second officer did not dare to neglect this distinguished guest , After finally getting the answer I wanted, I apologized and left.

But when he went to find Gero later, he was not so polite. After all, he had learned from West that Gero was actually a poor boy with no background, and he spent his life savings just to pursue a rich family. came to this ship.

What's more, according to West's confession, he knew that the biggest obstacle for Gero to fall in love with Anna was Anna's parents. If he reasoned this way, as long as Anna's parents died, he could be with Anna logically.

Not only was there no more resistance, but he could even take all the property of Anna's family for himself. With such a huge wealth, it was possible for Jie Luo to take risks and do so.

So he went directly to the door of the room where Anna was housed, made up a random reason, and took Gero away, and then locked him in the cargo warehouse at the bottom of the ship to continue the interrogation.

Jie Luo directly admitted the matter of dropping the knife and fork that West said earlier, but Jie Luo firmly denied the matter of him poisoning the dishes.

"It can't be me! I wouldn't do such a thing! How can I bear to see Anna sad?"

"It's nothing for Miss Anna to be sad, as long as you can give her happiness in the future, isn't it? The temporary pain will eventually pass, but this way you can hold happiness in your hands for a long time." The second officer said sarcastically.

"No! I will never do this, and I will not poison the Garcias! Besides, how can I get the venom of the puffer fish? Isn't this only available to people in the kitchen? You arrested the wrong person !” Jie Luo loudly defended himself.

But in the eyes of the second officer, Jie Luo has become the biggest suspect, and Jie Luo is indeed the most suitable candidate to become a suspect.

In this way, Jie Luo was also locked up. Although Jie Luo categorically denies that he poisoned him, the second officer believes that as long as he is under torture, Jie Luo will always tell how he stole the poison from the puffer fish. And the truth about the poisoning of the Garcia couple in order to remove obstacles.

But how to distribute them afterwards is up to the captain to ask.

Chen Nian and the others naturally didn't know this, they were still busy in the kitchen.

"By the way, do you know what dish Mr. Huo is best at?"

While chatting with Tonio's teacher, Chen Nian asked another question.

"Of course it's Buddha jumping over the wall! Mr. Huo will bring out this special dish every time there are distinguished guests on board. All the ingredients used in it are very precious and high-end products! Since I boarded the ship I was lucky enough to drink it once, and the taste is really amazing!" When the other party said this, he seemed to recall the scene at that time, smacking his mouth as if there was still an aftertaste in his mouth.

Chen Nian nodded, thinking that it was so.

So busy and busy, the work at noon was finally over, everyone was exhausted, even Chen Nian sweated a lot on his forehead, but fortunately, his subordinates were sensible, after seeing Chen Nian sweating, immediately Just took a towel and wiped it off.

And although these chefs didn't have lunch, they were full just to taste the food they made for the drug test, and some of them were even full of stomachs.

But the rules are the rules, if you don't eat it yourself, how can you make the guests feel at ease?

Of course, looking at Mr. Huo's expression on Chen Nian's face was not very pleasant, obviously he ate too much at noon.

Even if each person only eats one bite, one bite to the east and one bite to the west, no matter how small the bite is, it still has to fill the stomach.

"It's finally over, and I don't know if the murderer has been found." Chen Nian sighed, and said while looking at Mr. Huo at the door.

"I don't know if the murderer was found, but I know that I met an amazing young chef, and you will definitely shine like the sun in the future."

Listening to the other party's praise, Chen Nian couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the metaphor of foreigners is really strange.

But since people boasted so much, Chen Nian finally politely replied thank you, of course thank you in Italian.

Evening came after the work at noon, but at night their work was not much different from before, and with advance preparations, it was not too late to get off work at night.

But not long after returning to the room, Tonio knocked on the door again.

After entering, he said mysteriously: "I heard that they have caught the murderer today."

Hearing that there are melons to eat for a long time, I can't help but get excited: "Who is it?"

"It's the little boyfriend of the deceased's daughter. I heard that the man came on board to get close to the deceased's daughter. In fact, he is a poor ghost. The reason why he killed the deceased was because it saved time and effort, and he could inherit their inheritance. "

Chen Nian doesn't know if it's true or not. The current rumors should be like this. Now that the murderer has been caught, tomorrow's work will continue as usual, but there are probably a lot of people who are responsible for handling the leftovers in private. People suffer.

After all, the ability and work experience of the red-collar chef must be fine. If it is not the murderer, then the mistakes can only occur on the side of the food waste.

Chefs throw away unused things after handling fugu, and perhaps those who dispose of garbage didn't notice, which led to someone stealing the discarded parts of fugu to extract the toxins.

Sure enough, on the second day, everything returned to normal, and everyone returned to their original positions to continue working.

This time, no red-collar chef was punished, so naturally there were no vacancies.

This made Huang Su feel a lot better. If there is a vacancy for a red-collar chef after this day, and the person who fills it up happens to be old, then he will suffer to death.

Everything on the boat returned to normal, except that Anna was missing Jello.

After Anna found that something was wrong, she immediately found the ship and asked to see Jie Luo, but was told that Jie Luo was suspected of murder and had been locked up.

Anna naturally didn't believe it. Even after the captain personally came to explain that Gero had sufficient motives and time to commit the crime, Anna still didn't want to believe it, but she just couldn't see Gero.

In desperation, he had no choice but to go to his room in despair, without a drop of water in the whole day.

There was a knock on her door at night.

After opening the door, it was discovered that the person who came was the previous waiter, West.

"Miss Anna, let's eat something. I know you like to eat the dishes made by Master Chen, so I specially asked Master Chen to make white robe shrimp and Wensi tofu. Both of them are relatively light. You should eat something no matter what. ’” West said.

And Anna has no appetite at all now, she lost her closest relatives first, and now even Jie Luo, who can always be with her, is imprisoned for allegedly hurting her parents.

"Do you think that Jie Luo is really the murderer?" Anna asked for no reason. She didn't know that Jie Luo was the one who confessed by the waiter in front of her. She only knew that there might be some misunderstanding.

"Miss Anna, it's actually not easy to answer your question with my identity and position. I also met you and Mr. Jie Luo on this ship. According to my understanding, Mr. Jie Luo is actually..."

"How about it?"

"I'm sorry, maybe I was wrong. After all, it's not good to speak ill of people behind their backs, and I'm just a waiter..." West shook his head, but finally he didn't say anything, "Wish Miss Anna enjoyed the meal, I will pick up the tableware later."

Then he turned around and pushed the dining car away.

"Are you saying that it was Miss Anna's parents who were killed?" Chen Nian in the kitchen couldn't help being extremely surprised when he heard West tell him this in a low voice!

It was also because of this news that he found out that the poor boy they were discussing earlier was the guy who found him when the guests visited the kitchen last time and said he wanted to learn squirrel mandarin fish.

At that time, he also really saw that there seemed to be some differences in the identities of these two people. Fortunately, he still thought that these two people might be a replica of the Titanic.

After all, it happened to be 1912, and it happened to be on a luxurious liner.

But I didn't expect that as things developed, they would go further and further in the direction I thought.

"Miss Anna is so pitiful, so I want to order some food from Master Chen every day to deliver to Miss Anna," West said.

Chen Nian nodded after hearing this: "There is nothing wrong with me, but I need to ask Mr. Huo for instructions later."

"Okay." West looked very happy.

But just after West left, Dylan, a kitchen helper from England, couldn't help leaning over to Chen Nian: "Master Chen, why do I feel that he seems to be particularly interested in Miss Anna?"

"Who knows, it's probably another story about a poor boy who wanted to pursue a rich family's daughter." Chen Nian shrugged, but he also felt that it was only natural to give more preferential treatment to Anna after such a thing happened on the boat.

Sure enough, after Chen Nian went to find Mr. Huo for instructions on this matter, Mr. Huo agreed without much thought.

However, Mr. Huo didn't let Chen Nian go back immediately, but asked: "Actually, I planned to send someone to find you again today. It just so happened that you came and I have something to ask you."

"What's the matter? Excuse me, Mr. Huo." Chen Nian nodded.

"Today, when the second officer was interrogating the prisoner in the previous murder case, he said that he had talked to you when he went to the restaurant?"

Chen Nian nodded after hearing this: "Are you talking about that young man? He did talk to me. At that time, he secretly found me and said that he wanted to learn how to make squirrel mandarin fish. It seemed that it was because of that rich lady."

"He wants to ask you to learn how to cook?"

"Yes."

"Then do you think he is someone who would hurt Anna's parents?"

Chen Nian thought for a while: "I don't know how to say this. After all, what a person thinks in his heart can't be seen from the outside. He knows the face but doesn't know the heart. But if I personally feel that he doesn't seem to know A person who does such a thing."

"why?"

"I don't know, but now I feel that he is more like a person who was pushed out. It seems that no one is more suitable to be a murderer than him, and I found out a more interesting thing today, that is, the man named Wei The waiter of Ster seems to be interested in Miss Anna, he was the one who proposed the proposal I just mentioned."

"Is there such a thing?" Hearing this, Mr. Huo's eyes narrowed all of a sudden: "Okay, you go back first, the restaurant will have a selection of dishes in a few days, I think you should be able to have dishes You can enter the top ten, but at the same time you have to prepare some other dishes, do it well, I am very optimistic about you."

"Thank you, Mr. Huo, then I'll go back first."

Just after Chen Nian turned and left, Mr. Huo found Maddie and told him what Chen Nian said earlier.

"Then do you want me to take someone now to restrain West and interrogate him again?"

But Mr. Huo shook his head: "Wait a minute, but pay close attention to his movements in the past few days."
