Kaifeng House Small Dining Table

The so-called cannibalism is short-mouthed. After eating and drinking, everyone not only has more energy to work, but also becomes closer and friendly to Zhao Hanyan.After that, no matter what Zhao Hanyan ordered, Li San and the others obediently did it, raising the stove, reinstalling the pot, and gathering the firewood... In the end, it only took an afternoon, and everyone finished their work. It looks more spacious and tidy than before.

The stoves were still wet and could not be used for the time being. Li San and Lai Wang used charcoal to leave a small fire under each stove and dried them slowly, so that they could be used for cooking as usual by tomorrow night.

"Everyone has worked hard today, and I invite you to have a good meal tomorrow night." Zhao Hanyan thanked.

"Really? We have all seen Brother Han's craftsmanship. A cake can be made so delicious, and it must be as good as a dish." Li San said happily.

Laiwang nodded without saying a word, but a little thought came to his mind: It must be delicious, and his mouth is watering when he thinks about it. By the way, I will secretly bring a food box tomorrow, and secretly make some good dishes to honor my mother.

"See you tomorrow." Zhao Hanyan looked at Wang and Li San with a smile.

Li San and Lai Wang both smiled and said goodbye to Zhao Hanyan, and went home.

Zhao Hanyan took Xiuzhu and Chunlaichun to the brothers and planned to have a makeshift dinner outside.When the four of them came out of the kitchen, they found that the servants were busy going to the stables, intending to make inspections.

When it was almost dusk, this was supposed to be the time when most people were on duty, but suddenly so many people were dispatched, something must have happened.

"What's the matter?" Chunlai grabbed a familiar servant and asked.

"Someone died in Pig Killing Lane." Zhang Ling, the yamen chaperone, replied.

"Where did Zhang Ling go!" Zhao Hu, who was on his horse, realized that he was wrong, and turned his head to search.Zhang Ling hurriedly followed, and Zhao Hu saw Zhao Hanyan's side, nodded his head, didn't say much, and immediately led someone to ride a horse.

Zhao Hu led the people of Qi to meet Gongsun Ce, Zhan Zhao and others at the gate of Kaifeng Mansion.

Gongsun Ce said, "Let's go."

"Where are you going, my lord?" Zhao Hu asked.

Gongsun Ce hesitated for a moment, coughed, "Your Excellency is not feeling well today, we will handle this murder case."

"Uncomfortable? What's wrong?" Zhao Hu hurriedly asked.

"Don't ask any more questions, the investigation is the most important thing." Gongsun Ce said, and got into the carriage.

Zhao Hu agreed, followed immediately, and rushed to the scene of the crime.

Killing Pig Alley is south of Yujie Street. There are several alleys in the main alley, and there are twelve brothels in total.Most of the brothels here are open after dark and rest during the day, and the boundary of Killing Pig Alley is relatively remote, so there are few people walking around the alley during the day.

When Gongsun Ce and others arrived, there were many people around. Fortunately, when the corpse was discovered, a city patrol officer happened to pass by and protected the scene, so the place within three feet of the corpse was not damaged.But despite this, there does not appear to be any particular evidence left at the scene.

The deceased died in an alley in Killing Pig Alley. He was wearing a coir raincoat and a bamboo hat on his head. If it weren't for the bloodstains on the ground around him, he would have looked like a sleeping alcoholic leaning against the base of the wall.

Gongsun Ce rolled up his sleeves, clipped the hem of his robe to his belt, and squatted down to examine the corpse.His throat was cut to death. Most of the blood on the coir raincoat had been washed away by the rain, and the blood around the body was also more than normal, covering the ground for more than ten feet. Judging from the large blood stains formed, it was obvious that it happened suddenly at noon. It was caused by the torrential rain that fell, and because the alley was sheltered from the wind, the blood mixed with water on the ground has not yet dried up.

"Killed with one knife, the wound was neat, smooth and deep." After carefully examining the wound, Gongsun Ce opened the coir raincoat of the deceased.

Gongsun Ce estimated that the time of death of the deceased was about two or three hours ago, and from the blood stains at the scene and the clothing of the deceased, it can be inferred that the deceased should have been victimized during the noon rainstorm.Gongsun Ce then asked Zhan Zhao what he thought.

"It's a sharp knife, and the knife technique is very accurate." Zhan Zhao pondered, "However, this way of cutting the throat will definitely splatter blood on the murderer's body. There are brothels in the alley, and the market is just outside the alley. People come and go There are not too many people. If the murderer is covered in blood, he will definitely attract attention."

Gongsun Ce nodded, and ordered Wang Chao and others to conduct an investigation to see if there were any witnesses.

Zhao Hu ran over and shouted, "I found something."

Gongsun Ce and Zhan Zhao then followed Zhao Hu to another alley ahead. There was a pile of straw in the alley, and on the other side of the pile of straw was an abandoned coir raincoat.There was a little blood on the coir raincoat, and the straw around the coir raincoat was also stained with blood. It can be seen that the murderer left the coir raincoat here after committing the crime.

Zhao Hu motioned everyone to look at the ground, and everyone immediately noticed that there were traces of light red blood drops on the ground, which should be caused by the blood dripping from the coir raincoat all the way to the ground after the murderer killed the man.

"You can tell the dynasty that they don't need to look for it anymore. The murderer wore a coir raincoat to cover up the blood on his body perfectly." Gongsun Ce twisted his beard and wondered whether the murder in a coir raincoat was accidental or intentional.If it was the latter, Gongsun Ce could faintly feel that this murder case was not simple, at least the murderer had played cleverly and planned to kill, so it would be even more difficult to deal with.

The group stayed at the scene until dark before returning to Kaifeng Mansion.

Gongsun Ce immediately went to see Bao Zheng, and after telling the general case, he found that Bao Zheng looked very bad.After withdrawing, he asked the servant who served Bao Zheng, and he was a little worried when he learned that he was still feeling uncomfortable after having a stomachache.

Gongsun Ce thought about it after returning to his room, and sent Zhao Hu to the kitchen.

"See if you can cook some soft porridge over there, if not, go buy some outside."

Zhao Hu promised to go, but was stopped by Zhan Zhao halfway.

"Here is a letter. My lord just told me that I want you to go there yourself." Zhan Zhao handed the letter to Zhao Hu.

Zhao Hu accepted the letter and agreed, "Please tell the guards at the kitchen."

"Okay, you go quickly." Zhan Zhao smiled and patted Zhao Hu's shoulder.

Zhao Hanyan and Xiuzhu had just returned from eating outside, and they were carrying a rice eel in their hands, which they bought by chance on the way back.After the master and servant entered the mansion, they were still discussing in low voices how to eat this fish tomorrow.

"Since the stove can't be used, let's bake it, just like today's pretzels, baked until the outer skin is crispy, it must taste good!" Xiuzhu held each other's hands, squinted her eyes longingly, and couldn't help swallowing.

While she was talking, she kept thinking: "I'm so looking forward to it, I'm so looking forward to it, I really want to eat it, my life is so lucky, I can come out to eat with the princess!"

Zhao Hanyan couldn't help but smile when he heard Xiuzhu's voice.

"Are you the new cook?"

The joking atmosphere was suddenly interrupted by a male voice.

Zhao Hanyan and Xiuzhu looked at the sound at the same time, and saw a man wearing a red fourth-rank official uniform coming from the east side of the road.He is in his early twenties, and he walks like a chivalrous man. At first glance, he looks like a martial arts practitioner.The bridge of the nose is high and the eyes are imposing. On Guanyu's face, there are a pair of burning black eyes that radiate brilliance like black agate, and the whole body is dignified and dignified, but it does not make people intimidated at all, on the contrary, it is a little close.

Because the visitor is full of characteristics, Zhao Hanyan can "check" the other party as Zhan Zhao almost without thinking.Seeing another celebrity, Zhao Hanyan narrowed his eyes into a crescent shape, and said briskly to Zhan Zhaocheng, "I am."

Zhan Zhao smiled even more when he heard the words, and stopped after walking a few steps, looking up and down at Zhao Hanyan.

"I just heard from Mr. Gongsun that the small kitchen has finally summoned the cook, and he said that he is not vulgar. I just thought about what is not vulgar, and now I finally meet."

"What kind of bad law is that?" Zhao Hanyan asked deliberately.

"He is refined and elegant, not like a cook, but like a scholar." Zhan Zhao deliberately glanced at Zhao Hanyan and said, "And this cook is still very handsome, I am afraid that the food is not delicious, just look at his face. Make people eat!"

Zhao Hanyan hurriedly cupped his hands in thanks, "Master Zhan praised you very carefully, thank you very much!"

"You don't have to thank me. I have an order for you. I'll thank you when it's done." Zhan Zhao showed concern on his face, "Master Bao has an upset stomach today, can you cook him some porridge?"

"Stomach upset?" Zhao Hanyan asked carefully, "But stomach trouble?"

"This..." Zhan Zhao hesitated.

Zhao Hanyan: "It is very important to eat what is right for the symptoms."

Zhan Zhao nodded, "Since last night, the medicine has worked, but today I haven't had a good meal."

"Got it, I'll do it." Zhao Hanyan said goodbye to Zhan Zhao, and went straight to the kitchen with the fish and Xiuzhu.

Because the original stove could not be used, Zhao Hanyan asked Chun Qu and Chun Lai to help, and temporarily built a temporary stove with stones in the small courtyard in front of the kitchen.

When Zhao Hanyan was building the stove, he first soaked the rice in water, then cleaned up the eels, removed the fish bones and skin, and after using water to wash the fish bones and meat, he chopped the fish meat.Then put a casserole on the temporary stove, add [-]% water, add fish bones, wait for the water to boil, add the ground rice and cook on low heat, keep stirring to prevent sticking to the pot, cook for half an hour After hours, take out the fish bones, put in the fish meat, and continue to cook until the rice porridge is thick.

Zhao Hanyan asked Chunlai to bring the casserole directly to Mr. Bao, so as to best preserve the aroma of the porridge.

Bao Zheng had just finished discussing the case with Gongsun Ce, and his energy was somewhat exhausted. Just when he felt exhausted, the porridge came.

"Mr. Trouble you, but I really don't have any appetite right now." Bao Zheng also said that he might feel better after a night of sleep. At this time, Gongsun Ce lifted the lid of the casserole, and the rich rice fragrance immediately overflowed, forcing Bao Zheng to Zheng swallowed the second half of the sentence resolutely, and secretly took a few breaths of the fragrance.

Suddenly feel hungry and want to eat.

The author has something to say:

For those who feel that eels are not big, you can search for wild eels by yourself.There are also large eels in the wild. There is a news report that the largest wild eel is 36 catties. Not so big, there are also three or four catties.It's just a one or two catties that can be peeled and deboned.
