The cooking color is delicious, general, don't bite me

Chapter 95 Are you here to find fault?
Hongzhu was slightly startled, but quickly nodded and said, "Yes, it doesn't matter whether it's serving tea and water, washing dishes and sweeping the floor."

"If you want to stay, you can! But, I warn you, if you dare to leak what happened today, I will definitely not spare your life!" Steward Lu agreed with her to stay, and threatened.

He kept her because he felt that by putting her under his nose, he would be able to find out who was instigating her and find out the purpose of the other party.Otherwise, if he can't count against him today, the opponent must have other tricks, which is impossible to guard against.

"Don't worry, as long as you don't treat me harshly, I will never disclose this matter, and I will work in a law-abiding manner." After hearing this, Hong Zhu immediately assured her.

"You don't leave until everyone has gone to work!" Lu Steward was afraid that people would see Hong Zhu coming out of his room, so he ordered her to stay in the room temporarily.

He went out first by himself, and at this time, the guys came out of the room one after another.

Everyone said that something happened last night, and they fell asleep all of a sudden, and woke up until dawn.

A guy who usually has the habit of waking up at night asked strangely: "Why did I sleep so long that I even forgot to get up at night? Didn't I get suffocated?"

Another guy pointed at his ass and laughed, "You peed your pants, why are you up late?"

When the guy saw that he had wet his pants, he was embarrassed and explained in a hurry: "I usually get up on time at night, so it's impossible for me to pee on my pants, it's so strange."

Where will other guys listen to his explanation?Instead, he laughed even louder.

Steward Lu naturally guessed what was going on, with a sullen face, he walked out of the yard without saying anything.

In a blink of an eye, it was the opening day, Meng Fuling and Hulu arrived at the restaurant early, even Xue Shi, Xiaoji Wing and the others came to join in the fun.

Before the auspicious time came, Meng Fuling asked them to sit in the private room first, and she and Hulu had to go around to see how the preparations were going and see if there were any omissions.

After they finished patrolling the hall and the private room, they came to the kitchen. Seeing that the preparations in the kitchen were well done, Meng Fuling was very satisfied.

When they were about to leave the kitchen, Hulu stopped her and pointed to the vegetable washing area, "Look at that woman!"

Meng Fuling looked along the fingers of the gourd, and saw Hongzhu in the vegetable washing area, and was surprised. How could Hongzhu be here?

Why did Steward Lu leave Hongzhu without her consent?Besides, doesn't Steward Lu hate Hong Zhu very much?
Several questions popped up in Meng Fuling's mind. She recruited a guy who came to the kitchen to get things, and asked him to call Steward Lu to come in.

She stood there waiting for Steward Lu, but her cold eyes were directed at Hong Zhu who was washing the vegetables.

"If you don't like it, just drive her away." Calabash said.

Meng Fuling frowned and said, "It's not difficult to drive her away, but I want to hear Steward Lu's explanation."

Steward Lu rushed over quickly, with an unnatural expression on his face, he said, "Madam, are you looking for me?"

He heard that Meng Fuling was looking for him, so of course he knew what was going on, he was too busy these two days, and Meng Fuling and the others just rushed over today, so they had no chance to report Hongzhu's matter to them.

Another point is that it is really hard for him to talk about this kind of thing. Now that the opening of the business is approaching, and he is in the kitchen, it is not a good time or a good place to talk.

Meng Fuling did not miss Steward Lu's tangled expression. He knew that with his temperament, it was impossible to keep Hong Zhu. He wondered if he would be forced by Hong Zhu, or what happened?

After wandering her thoughts, she asked, "Master Lu, why did you keep her?"

"Ma'am, this is not a place to talk." Lu Butler said.

Meng Fuling looked around and thought about it. Seeing that the auspicious time has not yet arrived, there should be time to say a few words. When he was about to ask Steward Lu to borrow a word, a guy ran over, "Boss, shopkeeper, there are already people outside." Surrounded by many people, Luo county magistrate also arrived."

"Ma'am, shall we go first? I'll talk to you about this later," said Butler Lu.

Meng Fuling nodded, and glanced at Hongzhu, feeling that it was an eyesore, and afraid that Hongzhu would take the opportunity to tamper with the dishes, "Have someone lock her up first."

"This—" Steward Lu was a little embarrassed, thought for a while, and then said, "Madam, can you leave her alone? I promise she won't dare to do anything."

"Washing vegetables is a crucial part. It is the easiest way for people to have a chance to do it. I don't feel relieved to ask her to wash vegetables!" Meng Fuling said bluntly.

Seeing that Steward Lu wanted to say something, she raised her hand to stop her, and continued: "I don't care why you keep her, but you should never let her wash the vegetables or let her into the kitchen."

Hongzhu is not a good guy, judging from her performance that day, she must be a narrow-minded person.It's hard to guarantee that there won't be any disasters for a person like her.

Meng Fuling also didn't believe that a person who was born in a brothel and specialized in bed work would be willing to stay in a restaurant and do rough work.

"Why don't you let her do some cleaning?" Lu Butler said.

He originally wanted to put the red pearl in the crowded kitchen, which would mean being stared at by many people, so she would not dare to make any small moves.

"Alright!" Meng Fuling agreed.

"Get out!" Seeing that they had reached an agreement, Calabash urged.

Just as Meng Fuling and Hulu walked to the hall, Han Hualin, Luo Zhiyong and other invited guests arrived, and they were waiting for the opening ceremony.

In the past two days, Meng Fuling asked people to release the news that the restaurant specializes in lotus root dishes. The price is not lower than that of ordinary restaurants, but it is more expensive because of the variety of dishes produced by the own lotus root field.

Not to mention anything else, just hearing that the lotus root was planted by Meng Fuling himself caused a huge sensation.

It is hard for everyone to believe that there are actually people who grow lotus root in their Great Chu Kingdom. No matter whether it is delicious or not, they must come and taste it, especially those gluttonous diners who love to eat lotus root.

The unveiling ceremony was very important. Meng Fuling asked Hulu to invite Luo Zhiyong to be the guest of honor for the unveiling. After all, he is the local county magistrate, no matter what he is, he has certain influence.

She was right, when many rich merchants heard that Luo Zhiyong was coming to support him, they rushed to curry favor with him.

In short, the scene was even more lively than Meng Fuling had expected. She went over to exchange pleasantries with Han Hualin and the others, and then walked outside the door together.

At this time, the crowd was the busiest, and the common people knew that today was the opening day of the restaurant, and they all came to watch and waited for a long time.

Meng Fuling walked forward calmly, bowed to the onlookers, and said with a smile: "Today, the restaurant is open, everyone took time out of their busy schedules to come here, Fuling thank you here. I would like to invite you to come here." Let your lord unveil the plaque for everyone, and celebrate the opening of the restaurant!"

Although most of the people didn't know Meng Fuling, they liked her when they saw her beautiful appearance and polite words.

So, everyone applauded one after another, the applause was very enthusiastic, and it didn't stop until Luo Zhiyong walked under the plaque.

After Luo Zhiyong said a few words of congratulations, he was about to take off the red cloth covering the plaque, but just as his hand grasped the red ribbon under the red cloth, there was a commotion outside the crowd.

A fat middle-aged woman dressed in jewels led a few big men and squeezed in from the crowd.

Seeing their aggressive appearance, the common people hurried out of the way for fear of causing trouble.

"Madam, what's the matter?" Meng Fuling naturally wouldn't be intimidated by the visitor's aura, and said with an unchanged smile.

"What's the matter?" one of the leading women screamed, "I want to ask you what's going on here?"

"Can't you see? Today is the opening day of this restaurant." Meng Fuling said unhurriedly.

"Open? What qualifications do you have to open? This store belongs to me!" The woman yelled at Meng Fuling with a grim expression.

Meng Fuling frowned, feeling puzzled, this store was clearly owned by her, how could this woman belong to her?

Everyone was also very puzzled and began to discuss in whispers.

Han Hualin knew this woman. He walked up to Meng Fuling and whispered, "She is Zhu Laifu's wife."

Meng Fuling immediately understood that it turned out to be Zhu Laifu's wife, no wonder she came to find fault.

Her eyes froze, she walked over, and stood in front of Mrs. Zhu, "You said this store is yours?"

"That's right! The owner has already sold the storefront to me, but you are opening it here with great fanfare? Are you afraid of going to jail?" Mrs. Zhu sneered.

Meng Fuling's heart sank. Before she bought the shop, Han Hualin helped her find out the details of the owner.

The owner of the home is a foreigner with good conduct and no complicated relationships. Because he originally opened a teahouse, the business was deserted and he was always losing money. He wanted to go back to his hometown to develop, so he resold the storefront.

She bought this store, the deed and contract are complete, and she has read it carefully. How could it be Mrs. Zhu's?

Thinking about it this way, Meng Fuling felt that this was just an excuse for Mrs. Zhu to find fault, and sneered: "You keep saying that you bought this store, but there is evidence, if there is no-"

Meng Fuling predicted that Mrs. Zhu would not be able to produce any evidence. It was unthinkable. Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Zhu took out the deed and contract from her bosom, "Hmph! Look at what this is? How dare you say I have no evidence?"
