- #164 - Chapter 163 Night Exploration at the Divine Flavor Restaurant
Xia Yu opened the information and read it. The information was quite detailed. However, the more he looked at it, the more strange it became. It wasn’t that there was anything special about this person, it was just that he was too ordinary.
The owner of this Shenwei restaurant is Liu Guohua. He is 54 years old. He was not a caterer before, but the owner of a demolition company. He suddenly started a restaurant three years ago. The business was not very good at first, but he soon became famous. Liu Guohua is a very low-key person and has rarely done anything out of the ordinary. Even after the restaurant became popular, he showed no signs of expanding his business.
Not only that, he also recruited some old brothers from the previous company into the hotel as chefs and waiters, and paid them very high salaries.
Xia Yu looked at the information and had more questions in his mind.
Judging from the information alone, this person does not have a profound background, he is just an ordinary small boss, and there is no sign of being related to any mysterious things.
I opened a restaurant business and it was very good. I made money without messing around. It was just a normal business. Judging from this information alone, there is no abnormality at all.
It seemed that the only option was to go and investigate in person. Xia Yu struggled over and over again and made up his mind.
After returning home, Xia Yu opened the closet and took out a set of equipment he had prepared.
A hoodie, sweatpants, a mask, and soft-soled shoes. This is the sneak suit Xia Yu prepared for himself. It is ordinary but practical.
He originally thought about getting a night suit, an assassin suit or something to wear. After all, it would be more sexy, but when he thought about it, it was a bit eye-catching. He was going for stealth investigation, not cosplay.
I also brought a serrated saber. I felt that with the weirdness of this restaurant, I couldn’t prepare for a fight. This saber was also produced by Wang Li and the quality was very good. I also took out the pistol and counted it. Thirty rounds of ammunition and a spare magazine are also available.
Coupled with the doomsday survival device and homemade lock-picking tools, Xia Yu was well prepared.
He decided to investigate the details of this restaurant today.
Xia Yu was not planning to conduct reconnaissance in broad daylight. There were too many people to see during the day, and there were too many people coming and going. It would be bad if he was hit while sneaking, so he had better wait until night.
He put his things into a bag and went to the bar as usual in the evening. He chose to close the door before eleven o’clock and let Katlana go home alone. Xia Yu himself changed into a stealth suit. We took a taxi to Jiutan, got off the car and walked to the outside of the Shenwei Restaurant. It was getting late and the tourists were nowhere to be seen. There were even fewer guests in the restaurant. There were only two or three tables, which seemed very deserted. , Xia Yu estimated that the store would be closed in half an hour. He found a deserted alley nearby and looked around to see if there was no one around. He disappeared in the darkness.
The figure immediately disappeared into the air.
Avoiding the passers-by, Xia Yu quietly walked into the Shenwei Restaurant. He had already observed the layout of the restaurant in the past two days, entered the door and went straight to the kitchen.
What made Xia Yu helpless was that the kitchen door was locked, and ordering and picking up dishes were done through a window.
Looking at the iron gate, Xia Yu was a little helpless, but it was a pity that he didn’t have the lock-picking skills, otherwise it would have been easy. He glanced at the window again. If he got through it, he was afraid there might be some movement, so he might as well wait for a while to open the door when no one was around.
As the last table of guests left, a waiter locked the door, turned off the lights in the hall, then tidied up the hall, and then left through the back door of the hotel, waiting until there was no one around except a In the darkness, Xia Yu waited patiently for a while, until there was only silence all around, and then he came to the door of the back kitchen.
Xia Yu took out the lockpicking tool from his pocket and poked at the keyhole. The successful lockpicking in the doomsday wasteland made him feel a little better. In the past two days, he also searched online for different types of locks. As for the structure, he has practiced it several times at home. Simpler types of locks are still easy to open, but if it is too complicated a lock or a combination lock, then he will be at a loss.
Fortunately, this hotel didn’t seem to expect anyone to break into the kitchen door, and just used an ordinary door lock.
Xia Yu poked it a few times and opened it with a click.
He opened the door gently and slid in silently.
The light in the kitchen was on, which made him a little nervous. Was there anyone else? I looked around, but didn’t see anyone.
After making sure that there was no one in the kitchen, Xia Yu returned to reality from the stealth state. It was really uncomfortable to stay in the stealth state for a long time. He took a few deep breaths to relax his body.
I glanced around, and at first glance, the kitchen looked normal.
There was a huge chopping board, a row of knives, a sink, and several large freezers. The floor was dirty and it looked no different from the back kitchen of an ordinary hotel.
But if you look carefully, you can find some distinctive features. A high-power meat grinder, an ax and a guillotine for cutting meat, and dried dark red blood on the ground. It is not so much a kitchen as it is a kitchen. It’s a butcher shop.
He walked to the guillotine and frowned, why was there a guillotine in the kitchen? Suddenly, a snakeskin bag leaning against the wall squirmed suddenly and fell to the ground with a crash.
Xia Yu was startled. The bag was one meter high, and he didn’t know what was inside the bulging bag. He tried to press it with his hand, and the meat felt like it was being stimulated, and the meat in the bag squirmed violently. He stood up and made a loud banging sound on the floor.
Xia Yu felt nervous for a while, but at this moment, a sound of heavy footsteps came faintly from behind.
As soon as he turned around, he saw a door leading to the basement, and the footsteps came from behind the door.
Xia Yu was surprised. He didn’t expect that the hotel had a basement, and he didn’t expect that there would be people there so late.
He hurriedly disappeared and his figure disappeared.
With a bang, the basement door was slammed open, and two strong men dressed as chefs came up from below carrying a snakeskin bag. A middle-aged man in his early fifties was carrying a handful of chopped meat. The ax was following behind, it was Liu Guohua, and a young man carrying a meat cleaver.
The chef who resisted the bag slapped the bag on the ground and wiped the scarlet juice on his hands. “Are these enough?”
Liu Guohua shook his head: “It’s not enough. There are more customers these two days. Let’s get another bag. This bag is chopped a little bit, just for making fried meatballs. A Dong, you can do it for a while. The bag is completely chopped. Use for stew tomorrow.
Bring another bag to make steaks, and be more agile when you turn around. Ah Liang, go ahead and do it. That kid A Dong is very messy and can’t do his job well. “
The meat in the bag on the ground suddenly squirmed, but the people next to it didn’t pay attention and squirmed again. The younger guy kicked the bag and cursed, “Damn it, it’s not finished yet.”
Liu Guohua glared at the man: “Don’t use your feet, dammit. We are also in the catering business after all. Can we have some professionalism?”
“It’s okay, boss, it’s through the bag.” The guy said, but he stopped kicking him.
The older chef took out a cigarette and lit it, and said with a smile: “It’s useless even if you kick it. This thing is just a lump of meat. Just cook it later and it will be ready. Let’s get started when you guys have rested enough.” Finish your work early and get off work early, we’ll be open for business tomorrow.”
The strong man named Dongzi nodded, grabbed the bottom of the bag and poured it onto the chopping board. A large piece of meat was poured out.
These pieces of meat all look very fresh. Each piece weighs more than ten kilograms or even dozens of kilograms. It seems to have been chopped off with an ax or machete. The strange thing is that there is no fat, bone, cartilage or other tissue at all. It’s all pure red meat.
Xia Yu watched carefully from the side and thought to himself, no wonder you couldn’t see the bones when eating the steak, not even the bones. What kind of meat was this? Such a big lump? Could it be whale meat?
This seems to be the only explanation, otherwise how could there be such a big piece of meat, but why is it hidden in the basement? Is there a cold storage down there?
The boy started mincing meat, and the other two entered the basement again. Xia Yu moved a few steps towards the entrance of the basement, and vaguely heard a strange sound coming from the entrance of the basement, as if he was squeezing hard. After a while, the two men came up again, carrying a large piece of meat.
This piece was much more complete than the previous one, more than one meter long, and a long strip as thick as a plate. Several chefs started processing the ingredients directly.
He skillfully shaved off the corners of the meat with a knife, then cut it into huge one-inch-thick steaks with a large guillotine, sealed it in a plastic bag, and stuffed it into the freezer next to it. These should be used to make steaks.
Xia Yuxin said that this was what the guillotine was used for.
The scraps and the previous smaller pieces of meat were thrown into the meat grinder and ground into meat fillings, and some were chopped directly. These people’s knife skills are really not very good, they are just like chopping grass. The technique has no sense of beauty.
The meat filling over there has also been minced, and some starch has been added to increase the stickiness, and various seasonings have been added.
It looks like they are really preparing the ingredients. Although the method is a bit crude, if not for the weirdness of the meat, it feels like a normal chef.
After finally waiting for these people to finish processing the meat, turn off the lights and leave, Xia Yu finally appeared.
Damn, it was so dangerous. If he held it in for a while longer, he would really disappear. Xia Yu felt his hands and feet were cold.
As soon as he turned around and looked at the entrance to the basement, Xia Yu’s heart was pounding. All the secrets were probably hidden behind this door. Now that things have happened, let me see what the hell is in his heart. Thinking about it, he slowly opened the basement door.
