Chef's arena

Mingxuan flinched, but his spirit of fairness and openness became stronger. Regardless of the ties on his body, he took a step forward: "My lord, the villain is the last one to take over the dishes. In fact, the villain" did not finish his sentence, his face darkened. Mingxuan was already blocked by Yuan Yeqing who was on the side: "Master Zhifu, this child is the chef's cousin, and the two have had a deep relationship since childhood. But this child has a poor background, and his brain has not been very bright since he was a child, so what he said is unbelievable." "Yuan Yeqing winked at Li San, who was also tied up, and Li San nodded, and the two agreed.

After all, the magistrate's ability to climb to this position is not only due to his knowledge and character. If he has no brains, he may have been oppressed by this era long ago, and he will not be able to become a high power to oppress others: "You are so foolish when I am a three-year-old child, don't you give this to me quickly?" The official made it clear who was the last person to touch the vegetables." A sick cat showing off its power is more vicious than a tiger.

"Lord Zhifu, you don't know that the last person to touch the dish was Mr. Hu Weimin, Mr. Hu is still in a coma." said a bystander. "Presumptuous, what I said is before that, don't pick on me." A certain talkative person was shocked by the prefect's majesty, and since then he has learned that silence is golden.

"My lord, the villain is indeed the last one to touch food, but the villain does not have the courage and idea to poison. The villain has been cowardly since he was a child, and he dare not even kill chickens, ducks and fish, let alone this lively one." My lord, there are too many people in this kitchen, and if you can’t keep it all together, whoever frames the villain and puts the villain in a place of disloyalty and disfilialism, my lord, the villain, from the wife to the master, down to the villain, this generation is big A good citizen." Li San had a runny nose and tears, as expected of a top-notch acting master.

"Well, in view of the seriousness of the trouble, all the suspects are temporarily detained in the government prison." The magistrate is already dizzy and unable to entangle at this time, and the trial will be cleared up when he recovers.

As the sun goes down, the crows return to their nests, and occasionally there is a shrill croak in the depths of the jungle, as if the stray birds can't find their way home.The dungeon was dark and damp, and snakes, insects, rats and ants could not stop their hearts from being filled with unknowns.Li San held Mingxuan's hand tightly, and he could feel each other's feelings without a few words.Seeing that the last smear of rosy clouds was also stained with dark blue, Mingxuan felt a little uneasy, his head leaning against Li San's arms trembling slightly: "Third brother, do you think we will be executed? Or let's escape from prison, relying on the two of us It is still possible to take everyone out with the power of strength."

Li San listened to this thoughtless suggestion, and smiled lowly: "Fool, even if we can go out, after we go out, although we can roam the rivers and lakes, those ordinary people drag their families with their families, how do you let them go?" After hearing this, Xuan blamed himself: "Third brother, it's all my fault for being too impatient, which hurt you and everyone." Keep an eye on him." It would be great if there was a strong person in charge of the boss, so as not to keep pointing his little shou to do bad things.

The bad environment here is still talking about love, and the old man in the Shilixiang Restaurant over there wanted to break his head, blaming himself for being too impulsive and letting the little master poison him. If the little master just disappeared like this, he would be fine. It is impossible to make up for several times of death.Yuan Yeqing paced back and forth in search of a good strategy, and finally left for a long trip before dawn, and it was already dawn when he came back.Although I didn't sleep all night, I can't blame others for this, but I can only blame myself for not planning well, so I came to the conclusion that harming others will eventually harm myself.At that time, I should have stabbed the old eunuch in the back when he was not paying attention. It was more convenient and effective than this low-level method. I regret it.

Dear friends, if there are any deficiencies in the small ones, feel free to correct them. The small ones will definitely reflect on them seriously and create better story lines for you.

14. The "real" murderer is not the real murderer

As noon approached, the desertedness of the street and the bustle of the county government hall formed two completely different atmospheres.Outside the gate of the county government, the common people gathered three floors inside and three floors outside, to see how the ups and downs of the case could be brought to light.

The atmosphere in the lobby was a bit serious, with a magistrate sitting in the hall, a county magistrate as assistant, and an eunuch listening in.Compared with the three-legged confrontation in the hall, the hall is obviously much more popular, with a woman as the head and men as the next, they are arranged in the order below the hall, although everyone is kneeling, their momentum is by no means inferior to the three people sitting in the hall.

"Pa" as the gavel fell, the prefect asked: "The woman, you said that you poisoned people, is this serious?" "Really!" The woman said firmly. "That woman, why do you want to poison the celebrity around the current emperor?" After speaking, he looked towards the eunuch, intending to tell everyone present that the celebrity was the great eunuch.The great eunuch attracted countless attentions and stroked his hair in front of his temples in satisfaction.

"My lord, the little lady is the widow of the former head of the Four Seas Escort Bureau. Her husband's family was famous in the Jianghu, and the business was doing very well. The whole family is happy and happy. However, the traitor slandered that my husband made his fortune by smuggling official salt. The Holy One was furious. My husband's family ransacked all over the house, and the little woman survived because of visiting relatives. The little woman has never seen her husband for the last time, and there is no one to tell her pain. It just so happened that I heard that the traitor came to Shili Town recently. People get the opportunity to think that they can avenge their husbands."

"That woman, you keep calling yourself a traitor, don't you mean the factory owner in our hall?" The magistrate asked uninterestedly, completely ignoring the dissatisfaction in the eyes of the eunuch: "Bold and cunning woman, you are originally Qi Ruhai Your widow should have left with him a long time ago, if you hadn’t been lucky enough to survive, how could you have lived to this day to allow you to spread rumors and slander and gossip.” The chief eunuch was angry, the chief eunuch felt guilty, and the chief eunuch was almost incoherent .

"That woman, you said that you poisoned, how did you do it in full view of everyone, could it be that there are your accomplices among so many people?" the prefect asked. "Returning to my lord, this matter has nothing to do with other people. It was done by the little woman alone. The only way for the little woman to defend herself in the rivers and lakes is to use her natal family's unique skills to change her appearance. The little woman learned that the enemy will arrive at the Shilixiang Restaurant yesterday. So he mingled with the restaurant staff early on, and hid the arsenic in the quail while the chef was distracted, and then left in a hurry because he was afraid that something would happen. If it hadn't been eaten by Hu Weimin, the dog thief, I am afraid that the great revenge of the dead husband's family would have been avenged. "The more the little woman talked, the more angry she became, and the more she talked, the more she lost control of her emotions.

"Pa" a certain magistrate was annoyed by the prisoner's plausible state, slapped the gavel hard, and frowning: "Bold offender, you dare to roar in court, so you know what a big crime you have committed. Come and beat the prisoner!" Take it down, and deal with it after the official plays the current Holy Majesty."

"Since the real culprit has surrendered himself, miscellaneous families have always had grudges and complaints, and will not harm the innocent. The magistrate should let the restaurant guy go. But the cook can't take good care of his own food, and the death penalty can be avoided. , It’s enough to make twenty big plates, it’s too heavy, I’m afraid I won’t be able to eat the third dish, and the third dish is still waiting for the miscellaneous.” The eunuch made a concluding speech.

At Li San's house, Mingxuan carefully applied medicine to the unlucky cook. Seeing that Mingxuan was about to cry with distress, Li San was in a good mood: "It's okay, we martial arts practitioners are rough-skinned and thick-skinned. Twenty boards, just apply a little medicine and you'll be fine tomorrow." Ming Xuan groaned, "It's all my fault, I'm the one who hurt you, if it wasn't for me, you wouldn't have been beaten, and Mrs. Qi wouldn't have been blamed." "Hey~ We all owe Madam Qi a favor, but according to the boss, Madam Qi has nothing to ask for but to use our strength to avenge them and more people who died in vain." Li San was silent, when did people become mediocre? Born for revenge, if this is the case, I would rather stay in the Nether Palace and be a wild ghost without an owner.

The author has something to say:

Originally, I only wanted to add chapters 34 and [-] to one chapter, hehe, but after thinking about it, I still feel comfortable with fewer words, and it’s also for the good of my friends (beat me)

15. Li San is also Li Sanwei

Li San, whose ass has recovered, has been in a particularly good mood recently, and the poisoning incident did not affect his mood at all. On the contrary, Ming Xuan has gotten closer to him since that incident.Mingxuan couldn't sleep at night and would go to Li San's room to chat with Li San about his childhood. During the day, he would pay attention to his every move. Li San, as her husband, enjoys the gesture.

It is said that last time the eunuch left a sentence: The third dish is still waiting to be eaten. Waiting to eat it? No, Li San just happened to be neat today, so he couldn't wait to urge Li San to do the last dish. Clear water cabbage.

The last dish of clear water cabbage has a simpler name but it is the most difficult to make. Many low-level cooks will use shrimps, but in fact it is just a simplified process.The first process of clear water cabbage is to process the cabbage. Peel all the cabbage to the core of the cabbage and leave the tenderest handful of water to blanch it.The second process is to chop the chicken into minced chicken, supplemented with minced ginger and minced garlic to cook the soup.The third process is to filter the boiled chicken broth with gauze, and filter it repeatedly until the soup becomes as transparent as clear water.The fourth process is to put the cabbage in the soup and steam it in a basket. During this period, the heat must be well controlled, otherwise all previous efforts will be wasted.

Li San concentrated on doing every process, while Mingxuan assisted at the side, it was more appreciation than assistance, and Li San completed the whole process by himself.In fact, he also cares about this dish very much. This is the dish his master cares about the most. If he messes up, he will not forgive himself. Who makes him the most respectful person in the world.

The cabbage was still in the cage, and the eunuch couldn’t stay in the lobby of the restaurant. Surrounded by a group of young eunuchs, he came down to the kitchen and walked around the steamer to smell the aroma.
