above the point of the knife

Chapter 69 Turned out to be "Screening"

"I think it's your idea, to open a teahouse first, and then expand the business..." Zhou Sen felt that we had to proceed from reality.

"Since we have the capital, it is a waste to open only one teahouse. I think we can open another restaurant, and follow the method mentioned in your plan, with an open kitchen design. As long as our dishes reach a certain level, It will definitely attract customers." Although Bai Yulan felt that Zhou Sen's plan was difficult to realize at the moment, there were many ideas in it that could be used.

"Okay, you're better at business than I am, I'll listen to you." Zhou Sen nodded, it's fine to provide ideas, but in practice, he is really far behind.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll waste all your money?"

"If you earn, you get half of it for each person. If you lose, it's my gift money for you." Zhou Sen looked at Bai Yulan and said.

"Are you serious?"

"of course."

"Well, come back early, I don't care about dinner here." Bai Yulan said with her eyelashes trembling slightly.

"I still want to sit for a while longer. Anyway, there is nothing to do when I go back?" Zhou Sen chuckled, but Bai Yulan did not explicitly refuse, which is a welcome improvement.

"You can stay if you want, but don't come into my study." Bai Yulan said, drawing a red line for him.

"Okay, I see."

Bai Yulan didn't believe that Zhou Sen would abide by the rules, but after she entered the study, she heard no movement outside after a while, so she opened the door and came out to have a look.

It was found that Zhou Sen was no longer there.

Driven by curiosity, she went down to the attic, and heard the sound of laughter coming from the kitchen downstairs. If it wasn't Zhou Sen or A Xiang, which one was it?

"Axiang, let me tell you, the most important thing to make this lion head is the meat stuffing. For this meat, you must choose this fat and thin streaky pork, and the meat should be cut along this pattern..."

"Brother Sen, you, a young master from a rich family, how do you know so many cooking skills?" Ah Xiang asked adoringly.

"I'm an old gourmet. Even if my culinary skills are not as good as the royal chef's for state banquets, at least I can't lose to those mediocre chefs. In fact, if I eat too much, it's inevitable that I have to understand the method. It will be over time. "Zhou Sen said without blushing and heartbeat.

"Then how much delicious food do you have to eat?" Ah Xiang asked curiously.

"That's too much. Brother Sen has hundreds of dishes in his mind, such as Sichuan cuisine, stewed vegetables, Huaiyang cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, as long as you have the ingredients, I can make them for you. The standard, at least It must also be at the level of a Houdefu chef!"

"Just brag about it, Hou Defu's chef, he is the direct descendant of the royal chef in the palace who has served the Manchu and Han banquets." Ah Xiang curled her lips.

"It's still a full banquet. Lafayette has been dead for many years. He probably has never seen what a full banquet is."

"have you seen?"

"I haven't seen it either, but I know the dishes of the Manchu Banquet. It's just that it's not easy to gather the raw materials for these dishes now, let alone eat them." Zhou Sen chuckled, "It's better not to eat more Think about it, you have learned everything I taught you, and from now on, you will be the head chef of our Ningxiang Restaurant."

"I'm the chef?"

"Yeah, could it be me?"

"No, Brother Sen, how can I have this ability..."

"No one is born with skills. They are learned and earned through hard work. You are talented. As long as you learn well, I will teach you three dishes every day. How many dishes can you learn in a month? How about a year?" Zhou Sen encouraged while talking to stuffing.

Outside the window, Bai Yulan, who was listening to the conversation between the two, couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

In fact, Zhou Sen already knew that Bai Yulan was outside, and he clearly said these words for Axiang, but in fact he also said them for her.

After all, Bai Yulan didn't knock on the door, she listened for a while, and then went back directly.

……

While drinking the delicious mushroom soup, Bai Yulan asked Ah Xiang, "He left?"

"Brother Sen said, you didn't keep him for dinner, why didn't he leave?" Ah Xiang nodded.

"Why is he so obedient this time?"

"This..." Ah Xiang won't be able to ask this question, you two have always kept your words hidden, and let others guess?

"He taught you how to make this tamales?"

"what……"

"Ah, what, from now on when he teaches you, you should learn it seriously, don't be flirtatious, do you hear me clearly?" Bai Yulan scolded.

"Oh, sister Lan, you heard it all, hehe, is sister Lan jealous?"

"Damn girl, your skin is itchy, isn't it..."

……

When he got home, he threw away his coat, took off his shoes, and lay down on the sofa. This day was exhausting enough, especially after learning that Papa Anthony participated in the notorious top-secret assassination plan "Bear Work", he felt very sad. I am not calm anymore.

Nima, this is simply sinking yourself into a tiankeng.

How is this still playing?
Now that he is dead, leaving a mess for himself, what kind of "priest" is there? This kind of secret organization, as long as you join it, it is doomed to have no good results.

Hey, it's just killing me.

"Master Vasim, what do you want for dinner?" Irina came over and asked.

"Whatever, just get me a bowl of noodles." Zhou Sen thought for a while, but he didn't have the appetite to eat.

"Okay." Irina didn't ask too much, anyway, she just obeyed her master's orders.

Zhou Sen searched his mind for information about the "bear work" he knew, probably because the Japanese intelligence agency dispatched an assassination team to sneak into Soviet Russia through a third country.

Enter the holiday villa through a sewer by the sea, and enter the bathroom to carry out the assassination operation, but this operation has already been mastered by the Soviet side.

This action team was surrounded by border guards before entering the territory of Soviet Russia. The assassination plan failed. Some came back alive, and some were killed on the spot by the Soviet army.

If Akiyama nosuke did not tell lies, Papa Anthony was one of the action members who were killed.

The failure of "Bear Work", the Japanese later found out that it was their own internal leak, and there were Soviet Russian undercover agents among the Belarusian members of the action team.

In other words, someone had already sent their plan to the intelligence department of Soviet Russia.

Who this person is, the Japanese military intelligence agency does not know, so whether it is alive or dead, it is doubtful.

Although Papa Anthony is dead, he will also be under the suspicion of the Japanese intelligence agency, if Papa Anthony is the lurking Soviet Russian agent.

Then he must not be alone, because it is impossible to convey such important information by only one person.

He must be online or offline in Ice City, so people who are close to him will naturally be included in the list of suspects.

He is the adopted son of Father Anthony, so he must be the biggest suspect, and he also has a convenient police status...

Zhou Sen knows that the Japanese intelligence agency has been investigating for a long time, but they have not found this so-called hidden ghost in Soviet Russia. The real leak is in Tokyo, not in Manchuria, let alone in Bingcheng.

It is the famous "Ramza" group.

That is to say, there may be no Soviet and Russian spies in the "Bear Work" assassination team. All of this is nothing, or in other words, it is simply false news deliberately leaked by the Soviet side to divert the investigation direction of the Japanese military intelligence agencies. .

This is very possible. In order to protect one's own strategic-level intelligence personnel, it is also a routine operation to secretly disclose false information to the other party and disrupt the other party's investigation direction.

Inexplicable kidnapping, and inexplicable release...

If it was the original body, he would really believe it, but now he doesn't believe the nonsense of the Japanese at all, maybe Father Anthony is still alive and is still being screened by the Japanese.

If Papa Anthony is alive, but the Japanese tell him that he is dead, then the Japanese are actually observing and investigating him. Do they suspect that he is a leaker?
The bug on the chandelier in the study at home can be explained.

No one else but the Japanese.

They shouldn't have noticed their anomaly, but the fact that they listened to the Russian radio during those two nights...

This is troublesome. I listen to the radio at night, and it’s still in Russian, and it’s been two nights in a row. I can’t explain it clearly.

This thing is getting darker and darker. Since I didn't say it immediately afterwards, there is no need to take the initiative to mention it in the future.

However, no matter how you listen to that fable, it feels like it is being told to him, otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?
If the hunter and the wolf refer to Papa Anthony and him respectively, now the hunter is dead and the wolf is still alive.

But in the story, the wolf died to save the hunter, the wolf died, and the hunter lived.

In other words, one must die before the other can live, and only when Papa Anthony dies can he live.

Zhou Sen felt that he was thinking too much, is there really such a deep meaning in it?
But the hunter is already dead, how can he still use this method to convey this kind of information to him?unless……

If so, isn't Papa Anthony?
"Master Vasim, the noodles are ready, do you want to eat them now?" Irina came over and asked while bending over.

"Well, well, I'll come right away."

He wasn't used to eating noodles with a knife and fork, but he was still used to using chopsticks. After filling his stomach, Zhou Sen went upstairs directly.

Go back to the room, close the door, and continue thinking about the question just now.

I went through everything that happened since I woke up from the Ningxiang Pavilion in my mind, not letting go of a single detail.

Whatever he thinks does not conform to the normal situation and logic is written down in pencil one by one and marked with time.

Of course, there was also the fact that he was being followed and the bugs were found at home, but he had never mentioned it to anyone.

After this line, Zhou Sen found that there were hands behind him manipulating everything.

It started when he was suddenly announced to be promoted to a police officer.

His life trajectory is no longer plain and real, but has begun to undergo drastic changes.

Zhou Sen didn't have any special professional training, but the original body had a little bit of foundation in this area, and with his many years of work, his logical reasoning and analysis skills were naturally much stronger than ordinary people.

The Japanese do so many actions on themselves, let themselves investigate the case, secretly arrange for people to follow them, and install bugs to monitor themselves. Isn't their intention obvious?

They suspect that Papa Anthony is the inner ghost of the lurking "Bear Hunting" operation team, and they want to find a breakthrough from themselves, or they just doubt themselves directly.

This is a special screening.

Zhou Sen threw the manuscript paper into the fireplace, burned it up, and then went to bed and lay down. How should he deal with it next? Will the Japanese continue to test themselves?
Zhou Sen lost sleep...
