Kaifeng House Small Dining Table

Gongsun Ce smiled and filled a bowl for Bao Zheng, "It's delicious porridge, sir, you should take a sip anyway, your body will get better soon after eating."

Gongsun Ce put the porridge in front of Bao Zheng.

When the bowl comes closer, there is a fresh fragrance, which is different from the rice fragrance that I just smelled from a distance.Bao Zheng secretly inhaled two more mouthfuls of aroma, feeling more and more hungry.He thanked Gongsun Ce for his suggestion and picked up the bowl.

Bao Zheng looked at the porridge in the bowl with full eyes, then scooped up a mouthful with a spoon, blew on it, and put it into his mouth.The rich rice fragrance instantly fills the whole mouth, the faint meat fragrance, a little fresh, not the slightest greasy taste, makes people want to drink a second sip, the soft porridge slips from the mouth into the stomach, instantly warming Transformed the whole person.

So good!

When Bao Zheng reacted, the porridge in the bowl had bottomed out.

Gongsun Ce was very happy that Bao Zheng had an appetite, so he filled another bowl and advised Bao Zheng to drink more.

"Brother Zhao Han's porridge is very delicious and soft, please use more."

Bao Zheng nodded, and immediately finished the second bowl.The porridge is delicious and fragrant, the thickness is just right, and the heat is well controlled. It can be seen that the cook who makes the porridge is indeed very good as Mr. Gongsun said.After finishing the two bowls of porridge, Bao Zheng felt that he was refreshed and didn't want to sleep, so he went to write the memorial with great interest.

Gongsun Ce asked the boy to take good care of Bao Zheng, and after persuading him to go to bed early, he took someone away with a casserole with some leftover porridge.

When Zhao Hu came back from delivering the letter, he wanted to return to Zhan Zhao. When he met Gongsun Ce, he sniffed and smelled the fragrance.

"What's so delicious?" Zhao Hu listened to Gongsun Ce's explanation, "I just happened to be hungry, so give me the leftover porridge."

Gongsun Ce glanced at the casserole, smiled modestly, "Forget it, I'll give it to you, go and drink it while it's hot."

Zhao Hu was so happy that he quickly took it from the servant, and carried it away happily.I went to Zhan Zhao's place to answer the phone first, and didn't even move the place, just ordered a bowl of porridge in a hurry.

From the very beginning, Zhan Zhao thought it was funny to see Zhao Hu enter the door with a casserole in his hands. Now that he had finished his business, he asked him, "Where did you get it?"

"I asked for it from Mr. Gongsun. It's very fragrant. You should smell it." Zhao Hu has a sharp nose and can smell it even with the lid on.Zhan Zhao's nose is not as good as his, so I don't think so.After Zhao Hu removed the cover on purpose, the scent made Zhan Zhao sigh that it didn't matter, Zhao Hu also exclaimed.

"It's really fragrant, it's really fragrant!"

Zhan Zhao felt even more amused, "Didn't you tell me to smell the fragrance, why did you turn your head and be more surprised than me?"

"I knew it was fragrant, but I didn't expect it to be so fragrant." Zhao Hu exclaimed.

Zhan Zhao: "Hurry up and fill up two bowls."

"Okay, okay," Zhao Hu hurriedly took a bowl of porridge, and immediately felt that something was wrong, and asked Zhan Zhao doubtfully, "Two bowls? Do you want to drink too?"

"Otherwise, let me watch?" Zhan Zhao asked naturally.

Zhao Hu nodded grumpily, and brought over two bowls.He sat down immediately, eager to take a sip first.The lips and teeth are immediately surrounded by the rich fish and rice fragrance, and there are grains in the mouth, which should be rice and minced fish, but when you sip it lightly with your tongue, these all turn into a soft soup that jumps on the tip of the tongue, and the taste is thicker. Even smoother, after swallowing, there is still a faint bone fragrance in the mouth.

"Yeah!!!" Zhao Hu continued to take another sip before opening his mouth to comment, his eyes sparkled with excitement, and he felt so satisfied that he was about to cry. There is such delicious porridge in this world.

"It's delicious." Zhan Zhao smiled and poured mouthfuls into his stomach. He didn't show it on the surface, but the excitement in his heart was no less than that of Zhao Hu.

Soon the casserole bottomed out, and Zhao Hu hadn't had enough.

Zhao Hu patted his stomach, and said dissatisfiedly: "I really hope that the kitchen will be done soon, so that we can continue to eat delicious food. The new little chef is really surprising. Not only is he good-looking, but his craftsmanship is so good .Hey, why don’t you say he’s not a woman? Then I can take him home and be my wife! I’m willing to cook porridge for me every day!”

"You guy, you just drank the porridge someone made for Mr. Bao, and you still want to dominate. If he heard this, he might beat you with a stick." Zhan Zhao also had some expectations that after the kitchen was finished, there would be What a delicious taste.

"Hey." Zhao Hu scratched his head and smirked.

……

The rain during the day seemed to have never stopped. At midnight, a strong wind blew up, dark clouds covered the moon, and it began to rain. The rain was still pattering in the early morning of the next day.

Zhao Hanyan went to the kitchen to check the stove. Because of the rain, the newly built part hadn't been done much. It seems that it can't cook today.When making porridge for Mr. Bao yesterday, Zhao Hanyan thought that it should be accompanied by pickles. Since the kitchen cannot be heated, it is better to make some preparations first.When the rain was lighter, Zhao Hanyan took Xiuzhu and Chunlaichun to go to the street to buy radishes, and also bought various kinds of rice beans and seasonings for cooking.

Chun Qu Chun Lai has been in charge of compradors, and is very familiar with all the shops in Tokyo. Under the guidance of their brothers, Zhao Hanyan bought all the things in just one hour.

The four of them were on their way back when they heard the sound of a gong beating to open the way, and then they heard someone call Taifei to go out and order pedestrians to give way.Zhao Hanyan and Xiuzhu saw the old concubine's carriage from afar, glanced at each other, then turned around and went to a nearby alley to avoid it.Zhao Hanyan saw the door of a tailor shop open, and the two went in.

Chun Lai Chun Qu, the two brothers were walking, turned around and found that Zhao Hanyan was gone, so they hurried back to look for it.

The two brothers couldn't find anyone for a while, so they shouted: "Zhao Han?"

"Here." Xiuzhu walked out of the shop with a pale face, holding the door frame with her hand, her steps were obviously a little unsteady.

Seeing this, Chunlai and Chunqu hurriedly asked why.

Xiuzhu shook her hands in horror and pointed to the room.The two brothers took advantage of the opportunity to look into the shop. There were fabrics everywhere in the small tailor shop, but no one was seen.At this time, the two of them saw Zhao Hanyan coming out of the room, frowning, with a heavy expression on his face.

"Notify the government office that someone is dead here." Zhao Hanyan said.

"Dead?" How could such a coincidence happen!

Chunlai still didn't believe it, so he walked over in two or three steps, and lifted the curtain to look inside.Chun Qu followed suit.

The two immediately backed out one by one, and the faces of the two brothers were exactly the same as Zhao Hanyan's just now.

Xiuzhu's legs slowly bent, and she was already squatting on the ground.

She was going to be scared to death!

Chunlai understands Xiuzhu's reaction, after all, she is just an ordinary person.Immediately, he looked at Zhao Hanyan again, and couldn't help admiring that the room was not just a dead body, the floor, walls, and furniture... were all blood, so red that it was dazzling, and the smell of blood was even more pungent.

Chunlai winks at Chunqu, ordering him to take Xiuzhu back and inform the Kaifeng Mansion to come.He stayed behind to guard the scene with Zhao Hanyan.

Zhao Hanyan and Chunlai waited for about a stick of incense before seeing Zhan Zhao arriving first with Zhao Hu and Zhang Long on fast horses.

When Zhan Zhao saw Zhao Hanyan, he asked, "You were the first to find out?"

Zhao Hanyan nodded.

Zhan Zhao didn't say anything else, and went to the inner room to look at the corpse first.

The deceased was about [-] years old, a man with a goatee and a half-worn brocade robe. He fell by the wall, his neck was cut, a long line of blood was spattered on the wall and nearby furniture, and the blood on the ground was even worse. There are many, but the blood has dried traces, which shows that the corpse was not killed just now.

At this time, Gongsun Ce arrived in a carriage.

After Gongsun Ce came to inspect the corpse, he said to Zhan Zhao, "Looking at the knife edge and murder method, it is similar to the last case in Killing Pig Alley, but this time in the house, there was no rain to wash it away, and the scene looked bloodier than Killing Pig Alley. It's much thicker. It's hard to buy things for Zhao Han and the others but encounter this kind of thing, I don't know if I can't bear it."

"I'll go comfort him later." Zhan Zhao frowned and continued to look at the corpse, asking Gongsun Ce's opinion, "Sir, do you think the two cases were committed by the same person?"

"Although the method of cutting the throat to kill people is not special, but in just half a day, two cases have already happened, and it is very likely that the same person did it." Gongsun Ce's eyes were serious.

"If this is the case, it will be troublesome." Zhan Zhao asked Gongsun Ce to continue the autopsy, and he came out from the inner room, heading straight for Zhao Hanyan.

"That's how the shop looked when you arrived? Did you make any strange noises, or did you see anyone else?"

"No," Zhao Hanyan raised his head and met Shang Zhanzhao's eyes, "But even if there is someone, it probably won't be the murderer. I think the body has been dead for some time, and the blood has dried up. It is impossible for the murderer to stay so long at the crime scene. Long."

Zhan Zhao didn't expect Zhao Hanyan to understand this, and asked in surprise, "How do you know this?"

"It's obvious with the eyes, isn't it?" Zhao Hanyan asked back.

Zhan Zhao froze for a moment, thought about it, and nodded.

"I found the coir raincoat in the backyard!" Zhao Hu shouted.

Zhan Zhao hurried over.

Near the woodpile behind the tailor's shop, there was the same abandoned coir raincoat as at the scene of the Killing Pig Alley case, and the blood on the coir raincoat was also washed away by the rain.

Gongsun Ce, who came afterward, saw the coir raincoat, his eyes became very solemn, "So we can be sure that the same person committed the crime."

Zhan Zhao nodded. As expected, the case became more and more difficult.

After calming down for a moment, Zhan Zhao suddenly remembered the conversation with Zhao Hanyan just now, and finally realized that something was wrong.If it was an ordinary person, who would not be afraid to scream and run away when they saw such a bloody scene?Who has the time to tell whether the blood near the corpse is dry or wet?It is enough to show that this little cook named Zhao Han is not afraid of corpses at all, so he was able to calmly observe the scene after discovering the corpse.

The author has something to say:

Zhan Zhao: This cook is unscientific!
