The peaked cap man's face was pale. He was scared.
"What are you doing? Confess and you'll be lenient," Mu Ou said solemnly.
The man looked at Mu Ou in confusion and asked, "What do you mean what am I doing?"
"You're dressed so sneakily. Are you trying to defame our Boss Yuan again?" Mu Ou said.
"I'm a fan of the restaurant. Do you know what a fan is?" the man retorted loudly.
Mu Ou said, "Of course I know what starch is. It's used in cooking."
"What the hell? I'm a fan of the restaurant, a fan of The Kitchen God. I'm a professional investigator hired by The Dog Who Discovered Food. This is my work permit," the man handed the permit to Mu Ou.
Mu Ou took a look — [Special Investigator of The Dog Who Discovered Food: Doggy Lin]
"Although it's impolite to say someone's name, is Doggy Lin serious?" Mu Ou asked.
"It's none of your business." Doggy Lin was startled and naturally wouldn't be polite to Mu Ou. He took back the permit, picked up the pen and paper on the ground and continued writing.
Mu Ou asked curiously, "What are you writing?"
"Survey form. Let me tell you. You won't know if you don't investigate, but once you do, you'll be shocked. The influence of The Kitchen God is truly strong."
Mu Ou had an expression of "Do I need you to tell me this?"
"What I'm telling you is that according to my data, before Head Chef Yuan held the Soup King Event, the frequency of Sichuan Cuisine being mentioned was 13.1, Cantonese Cuisine being 12.7, Shandong Cuisine being 9.7, and so on. You won't understand even if I tell you more. Anyway, you just need to know that Sichuan Cuisine is the most frequently mentioned dish," said Gougou.
Mu Ou could understand. After all, Sichuan Cuisine was the most popular cuisine after the millennium. Therefore, it was normal for it to be mentioned frequently.
"Then let me tell you. After the Soup King event, the frequency of Cantonese Cuisine and Guangfu Soup reached 14.6, directly surpassing Sichuan Cuisine. The highest value was 15. That's incredible." Doggy Lin was very excited and sighed, "I guess even after 50 years, no one will be able to reach this level of influence."
"Head Chef Yuan is still young. He won't die even after 50 years. You're right," Mu Ou said.
"…" Doggy Lin was speechless.
"Why are you dressed so wretchedly and wearing a cap when you're investigating openly?" Mu Ou was speechless.
Dog Lin quickly took off his peaked cap and put it back on. Although it was only for a moment, Mu Ou could clearly see that Dog Lin was bald …
"Then why are you wearing a mask?" Mu Ou asked weakly.
Dog Lin said, "I'm sick, so I'm wearing a mask."
Mu Ou could only nod and say, "Yes, very strong."
While Mu Ou and Doggy Lin were chatting, the Yuanzhou shop began to line up for dinner. On the other side, there were also people waiting downstairs for Yin Ya.
The person waiting for her was none other than the little girl who promised Yin Ya to come downstairs every day to pick up the cardboard boxes and bottles.
In October, Chengdu had become slightly cold under the autumn rain. The little girl, wearing a thin brown sweater, black corduroy trousers, and a pair of single shoes, stood under the tall building of the CBD, waiting quietly.
"Little girl, come in and wait. Miss Yin will be down soon." In the security booth outside the building, a middle-aged man in a security uniform with a beer belly waved at her.
"No need, thank you, uncle," the little girl took off her mask and said politely.
"It's fine. The weather has dropped by ten degrees. It's really cold outside today. If you don't want to come in, you can wait in the lobby. It's so cold outside." The security uncle pointed at the clean glass door.
"It's fine, it's fine. Thank you, uncle." The little girl still shook her head with a sweet smile on her face.
"Alright, then I'll go on patrol." The security uncle could only sigh. Then, he took his things and went on patrol.
"Thank you, uncle." The little girl's voice came from behind. The security uncle couldn't help but sigh.
"I wonder what kind of difficulties this little girl has encountered. She's so sensible at such a young age." The security uncle's voice was very soft, as if he was mumbling. No one heard him.
"Dadada ta." A series of footsteps came from afar. The little girl immediately looked up.
As expected, Yin Ya walked out of the office wearing a full set of women's suits and carrying a huge paper box.
"Sister Yin Ya." The little girl waved at Yin Ya. Then, she hesitated for a while and still went up to Yin Ya.
"Um. I'm sorry, Miaomiao. I was delayed while waiting for the elevator. Are you cold?" Yin Ya put down the paper box and lowered her head to look at the little girl.
That's right. During the past two months of contact, Yin Ya had already known the little girl's name. Her name was Tian Miao. She was ten years old this year and was in school five years ago. However, she didn't go to school this year.
Yin Ya guessed that Tian Miao didn't go to school recently. Due to the little girl's personality, Yin Ya didn't ask her for confirmation right now. She planned to ask her in two days.
"I'm not cold. I'm wearing a lot today." Tian Miao shook her head and said seriously.
"That's good. These are the paper boxes in our office today. There are a lot of them. It's because the weather has gotten cold recently and people like to shop online more," Yin Ya said naturally.
"If you can't carry it, I can help you carry it," Yin Ya continued without waiting for Tian Miao to answer.
"No need. Sister Ya, I can do it," Tian Miao shook her head and said gratefully while looking at the neat cardboard boxes and bottles in the paper box.
"Um. All right. Be careful. I'll watch you walk," Yin Ya didn't persuade her anymore. Instead, she nodded her head and said.
It wasn't that Yin Ya didn't want to help, but she knew that Tian Miao was a very stubborn little girl from the past two months of getting along with her.
"Um. Thank you, Sister Ya," Tian Miao thanked her.
"You're welcome. You also helped me. In this way, I don't have to carry them there and throw them away," Yin Ya pointed at the direction of Taoxi Road and said.
"Well, everyone knows that Boss Yuan is my boyfriend and he passes by there every day," Yin Ya sighed helplessly.
"Um. But I still want to thank you, Sister Ya." Tian Miao nodded her head with a smile and then lowered her head to sort out the boxes.
Tian Miao stuffed all the bottles and small cardboard boxes that she could fit into her backpack into her backpack. Her movements were quick and agile.
Yin Ya didn't squat down to help her. Instead, she watched her carefully.
At that time, Tian Miao suddenly said, "Sister Ya, I might not be able to come for the next week."
"You can't come? What's wrong? What's the matter? "Yin Ya asked carefully.
"Um. My family is moving," Tian Miao answered in a low voice.
"Moving? That's quite troublesome. It will take a long time to move, "Yin Ya said.
"We're moving out of the village," Tian Miao said.
"What's the matter? Is it because of the bad weather recently?" Yin Ya asked tentatively.
Yin Ya knew that about 10 stops away from Taoxi Road was the border of Chengdu. Over there, people lived together and lived in villages.
Moving out of the village meant that they had to stay far away from the gathering place of the village. It was a little strange, so Yin Ya asked again.
"No, I have something to do," Tian Miao shook her head and said.
"Can I send you back today? I just got off work, "Yin Ya thought for a while and asked.
"No, no. Thank you, Sister Ya. You can't," Tian Miao quickly shook her head and said.
"Alright. But Miao Miao, I hope you can tell me if there's anything." Yin Ya squatted down slightly and looked at Tian Miao seriously. Then, she continued, "Because we are friends now."
"Thank you, Sister Ya." Tian Miao felt a little embarrassed under Yin Ya's gaze. She lowered her head and carried the remaining cardboard boxes, stood up and ran away quickly.
Even so, Tian Miao didn't forget to say goodbye, "Goodbye, Sister Ya."
While carrying the cardboard boxes, Tian Miao put on her mask and left quickly.
"This little girl," Yin Ya sighed helplessly. Then, she watched her get on the bus and went upstairs.
After all, Yin Ya hadn't gotten off work yet. She still had to go back to work for a while.
While carrying the cardboard boxes, Tian Miao stood quietly at the back door of the bus with the mask on her face since she got on the bus. She had been waiting to get off since she got on the bus.
Just as Yin Ya had guessed, Tian Miao's house was 12 stops away from Taoxi Road.
The bus was very fast. Tian Miao arrived at her stop in about 50 minutes. She carried the cardboard boxes and got off quickly.
This place was located at the edge of Chengdu and belonged to the urban-rural junction. There were tall buildings in the distance while there were mostly low-rise houses here. They were all gathered together in a picturesque disorder.
The bus stop sign was at the end of the cement road. Tian Miao didn't take off her mask after she got off the bus. Instead, she took out a black hat from her bag and put it on.
Tian Miao lowered her head and was about to get off the bus stop when someone called her.
"Tian Miao, Tian Miao, you are back?" The cheerful voice made it obvious that it was a girl.
With the sound of footsteps, several children walked out from the side of the bus stop. There were three girls and two boys.
Among them, the girl with the biggest smile was the one with the high ponytail who called out to Tian Miao.
"Why are you here?" Tian Miao asked in surprise.
"Tomorrow is Saturday. We came here to wait after school," the girl with the high ponytail said slyly.
"Thank you," Tian Miao thanked them gratefully.
"You are welcome." It was a tall boy who said that. He directly took the cardboard box from Tian Miao's hand.
"Yeah, you are welcome. We also brought our study notes and recordings for this week," the girl with the high ponytail took a step forward and walked beside Tian Miao.
"That's great. I can do my homework now," Tian Miao was so happy that her eyes narrowed.
"Tian Miao, you don't need to wear a mask," one of the girls said suddenly.
"Exactly. We all know that saliva is not contagious," the girl with the high ponytail and the other students nodded repeatedly.
"Exactly. The teacher and the doctor have told us," another girl also nodded and said.
"You don't need to wear a mask all the time," the boy beside her also said.
"I know, but I am more used to it," Tian Miao said with a smile.
"Well, we will go to the secret base to give you tuition when we get back," the girl with the high ponytail said.
"Okay, I will treat you to some pudding," Tian Miao said.
"That's great. I want to eat it," the children immediately laughed happily.
They talked while walking. They carefully avoided the houses in the village and walked out of the village.
