When Hao Huaian saw the situation in the large warehouse with his own eyes, he was immediately shocked by what he saw.
The floor and walls of the large warehouse were covered with squirming white maggots.
The small one is as long as the barrel of a pen, and the large one is almost as long as an adult.
On the meat racks, in the water tanks, on the walls, on the beams...the big white and long meat bugs took over the entire warehouse.
The mouthparts of the insects kept gnawing at everything in the warehouse, including meat, vegetables, and even live fish in the pond. No one was spared.
The flesh worms secrete a sticky liquid, which spreads everywhere on the ground as the worms squirm, emitting a sour and unpleasant stench.
There was also a fresh corpse on the ground with half of its body and half of its face eaten away. From the incomplete clothes on the corpse, one could vaguely tell that it was a kitchen boy.
The flesh of the corpse was covered with insect eggs inside and outside, and countless hatched maggots were burrowing in and out of the corpse. The corpse was shaken slightly by the clusters of maggots...
The scene was really disgusting and terrifying.
Housekeeper Hao Huaian had a good temper. Seeing such a scene, he couldn't suppress his anger and roared at everyone in Haoyuan Building: "I left the fresh food to you, how did it end up like this in one night! Where is Qu Pingchun?"
Such a big thing happened, how come he, the great chef, is nowhere to be seen!"
Nono, the steward in charge of side dishes, replied: "Chef Qu came here just now, and now he may... go back and change his pants..."
As for the news of the arrival of Manager Hao Huai'an, a clerk from Haoyuan Building had already rushed to report it to Qu Pingchun.
Qu Pingchun changed his pants and hurried over, catching up with the great butler Hao who was training people.
He was most afraid of things happening to him. When he saw the great butler complaining, he became anxious. He turned around and shouted at Manlu: "I asked you to cast the expulsion spell last night. The monk explained clearly how you did it!"
When he finished yelling, he saw Manlu winking at him.
Only then did Qu Pingchun realize that he had slipped up. He quickly covered his mouth and turned back to look at Housekeeper Hao. He shook his head like a rattle: "No, I don't know..."
How could a smart person like Hao Huai An fail to see that there is something fishy in this matter? He glared at Qu Pingchun and other people in Haoyuan Tower: "This is a major event in the master's house right now, and you have ruined it, let alone the banquet for thousands of people.
You don’t have to work in Haoyuan Building from now on! I’ll report it to the master right now!”
Hao Huaian was walking towards the door, but was stopped by Manager Feng Er.
Manager Feng had been here a long time ago. As soon as he entered the yard, he saw Hao Huaian losing his temper. He didn't want to be implicated in the responsibility, so he hid far away.
At this moment, he heard that Hao Huai'an was about to tell Haomai, so he came over to apologize and persuaded: "Butler, don't be angry. The matter has reached this point. Even if you go and tell the master, it will only make the master worried. The master is here.
At your age, it’s no joke to be frightened.”
"Things here still need to be resolved, and the banquet must continue. Don't worry, I will find a way to get rid of these things, and then find someone to tell Zhang Dafu and ask him to immediately bring several trucks of fresh meat.
, let’s deal with the matter at hand first and then talk about it.”
Hao Huai'an was also worried that Haomai would get angry after hearing that he heard that Haomai was worried. Hearing what Manager Feng said was reasonable, he urged him to cook quickly.
Qu Pingchun also calmed down at this moment, and stepped forward to remind: "Yesterday, our meat and the meat from the opposite door were delivered together. There may be something wrong with their meat."
If something happens to the other side, then the responsibility does not belong to his Haoyuanlou family. He will have a hard time and must drag Bi Cheng into the water.
After hearing this, Hao Huaian quickly ordered someone to knock on the door of Bicheng's courtyard.
Bi Cheng was busy with the lunch banquet when he saw Hao Huaian suddenly bringing people in to check, and they all came out to see what was going on.
Hao Huaian walked into the warehouse to check it out in person and found nothing unusual in the kitchen, so he was finally relieved.
No matter what, Bijiaban can serve food as usual, and the guests who come will have a feast to eat.
"Is there anything unusual about the meat here?" Hao Huaian asked Bi Cheng.
Bi Cheng shook his head: "Our meat was made into dried meat last night and will be used for cooking today. Is there no problem? Why does the butler ask like this?"
Hao Huaian was worried and went into the kitchen to check for himself. Sure enough, he saw pots of prepared dried meat stacked on the meat table. He was completely relieved.
Just as he was about to leave with others, the people from Haoyuan Building also followed him.
Seeing the dried meat, Qu Pingchun immediately pointed at Bi Cheng and shouted: "This is impossible, butler, he is obviously lying. How could he make so much dried meat in just one night? He is definitely lying! Bi Cheng, you are lying."
A big liar!"
Bi Cheng squinted his eyes at Qu Pingchun, who was jumping up and down, with a condescending and leisurely attitude: "Chef Qu, just because you are not capable of doing something, it doesn't mean that others can't do it. Don't use your incompetence to limit other people's imagination."
This last sentence was something he learned from his master, and it suited Qu Pingchun just right.
Qu Pingchun: "..."
The guy surnamed Bi is a bad student, and now he has learned to curse so well!
Bi Cheng turned around and looked at Xinghao Huaian innocently: "Excuse me, butler, there was no rule saying that dried meat is not allowed in the banquet, right?"
Hao Huaian shook his head: "That's not true."
Bi Cheng turned to Qu Pingchun: "So, what kind of ingredients to make and what kind of dishes to cook are our Bi family's affairs. I don't have to worry about it, Chef Qu. Time waits for no one. You'd better bring it to us as soon as possible."
It’s important to take your people back to cook!”
It was obvious that Bi Cheng was expelling people.
Deng Hai, who was standing next to him, interrupted: "That's right, there's a big competition at noon. Why don't you go cook, Chef Qu? Why are we yelling here?"
A boy who worked with Hao Huaian spoke quickly and said: "Their meat is infested with big maggots, so we came over to see if your meat is rotten."
Deng Jiang and others burst into laughter upon hearing this.
Deng Hai said with a smile: "It's such a cold weather. It's okay to leave meat for a few days. How could it get maggots? Could it be that you've done too many evil things and got retribution! Hahahaha..."
Although Man Lu and others were full of doubts, they did not dare to say anything in front of the great butler.
Seeing that there was nothing on Bi Cheng's side, Hao Huaian did not want to delay their cooking, so he ordered: "Since Chef Bi's side is fine, let's continue preparing for the banquet. The rest of the people will leave the kitchen immediately!"
After saying that, he led everyone away.
No one dared to approach the giant maggots in the warehouse here, so Hao Huaian had no choice but to go find Hua Chang, the third master. Hua Chang sent his men in the caravan who were skilled in magic to help clean them out.
The second steward sent someone to find Zhang Shamao in a hurry and urged him to prepare fresh meat.
The banquet competition was about to start, so Bi Cheng and his friends could only serve the dishes to entertain the guests first.
Throughout the whole night last night, Yan Yan personally covered the twenty-eight dishes of the bacon banquet she had created when she opened a private restaurant in Shen Huaguo.
Bi Cheng and others are all skilled in cooking and stir-frying, which Yan Yan has personally practiced. Although it is the first time to make bacon, they have already mastered 70% to 80% of the essence of cooking. Coupled with the special seasonings prepared by Yan Yan, they can cook bacon for the first time.
, the room is filled with fragrance.
When it was brought to the table, the oily and red meat and vegetables immediately shocked the entire banquet.
