Chapter 18: Chinese New Year's Eve
They didn't get any answers, Chen Tianyu obviously didn't think about it, he never talked about what he didn't think of, everyone had to give up.
If you want to talk from the mouth of the fourth brother, it is not an ordinary difficulty, and everyone is lazy.
In this way, the time has come to the Chinese New Year's Eve of the year, according to the practice of Luoshui Village, today I will go to the market of the neighboring village to buy New Year goods, such a fun thing, Beiting naturally wants to participate.
Although Luoshui Village is a large village, due to its remote location and lack of goods, the market can only be set up in a neighboring village nearly ten miles away from Luoshui Village-Mutu Village (closer to the city), that is, the village where Heiqi is located, but Beiting does not know the existence of this person.
There is one person who is the happiest here, that is the "foodie" Wan Yongkun, who found that the most popular thing in the market is the food: the baked cake shop is actually a roadside stall, but there is actually a queue?! A group of people gathered around the baked cake stall, pulling white plastic bags and staring at the stove.
Whenever a pot of baked cakes is baked, everyone is crazy and grabs, the high temperature of the charcoal fire does not stop this enthusiasm, and Wan Yongkun and Kuangsuo are staring at each other, are their hands made of iron?
After a few rounds of fighting, the two were still empty-handed, which was really embarrassing enough for Wan Yongkun.
Kuang Suo despised him speechlessly, Wan Yongkun couldn't get off the stage, rolled up his sleeves and put it at the mouth of the stove, see who will rob me again?
The boss gave him a blank look, and gently tapped his hand with the fire tongs that sandwiched the cake, and Wan Yongkun did not move at all.
The boss kindly reminded: "Your hands will burn ......"
"Rest assured. Wan Yongkun dared to arrest others as soon as they came out, and he was not stunned.
The boss shook his head helplessly, and after a few minutes, he picked up a browned biscuit and handed it to him, hesitating.
Wan Yongkun grabbed it in his hand suddenly, and he didn't feel it at first, as if in an instant, a sharp stinging pain came from the end of his finger, and he reflexively threw the baked cake out half a meter away.
There was a burst of laughter around, and Wan Yongkun's black face also swelled red, but fortunately, the contrast was not too obvious, and when Kuang Suo saw this, he hurriedly trotted to help pick up the baked cakes.
Wan Yongkun is desperately blowing his hands.
How can there be a protein that is truly resistant to high temperatures?
This furnace was robbed in seconds!
The two squatted awkwardly on the side of the road, looking at the strangely shaped baked cakes stained with dust and sesame seeds, crying and laughing.
Half a day——
Wan Yongkun snatched the biscuit and took a bite hard, the mud and sand creaked in his mouth, but the more he chewed, the more flavorful it became......
"Hey, leave me a mouthful. Kuangshuo said in a hurry.
"Oh...... If you taste it, it's really crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, full of oil. Wan Yongkun exclaimed.
Kuang Shuo didn't speak, and he didn't even sweep the mud and sand, and clicked a few mouthfuls of the remaining small half into his mouth.
"How?" Wan Yongkun glanced at him and asked curiously.
Kuang Shuo hadn't swallowed it completely, and said in a vague voice: "Go to the queue again!"
When the others took a turn around the market, they saw that the two of them were still sticking to the crowd of people at the baked cake stall, grabbing and eating at the same time.
This scene is really unbearable.
The so-called advertising does not rely on beating, and there are many people is the king, and Shen Mingyue, who smelled the fragrance, also ran over to join in the fun, this is greedy, and she looks greedy.
Li Yiting was watching the joke happily, and Liu Zichen said: "It's really so delicious?"
Li Yiting nodded slightly: "Well, this kind of baked cake is called light cake, and it is very famous in our place." It is said that it was invented by Qi Jiguang, a famous anti-Japanese general, to reward the three armies. ”
"Really?...... Ah, I'd like to try it too. "There are a lot of foodies in Beiting, and Liu Zichen is also a member, she just doesn't like to look ugly.
Chen Tianyu felt it: "Yiting, although your hometown is remote, the people are strange and secretive." ”
Liu Zichen chuckled and said, "You guys talk first, I'll go and have a good ......."
Chen Tianyu pretended to be positive: "If I don't go and help you rob it, you are clumsy." ”
Liu Zichen smiled and shook his head: "Don't, your hands are dirty, I'll grab it myself." After saying that, he jumped and walked away.
Chen Tianyu smiled awkwardly.
Li Yiting teased: "Fourth brother, you are so cute." ”
"Pull the calf, you're ...... Let's half a pound and eight taels. Chen Tianyu saw a steamed bun shop next to him, he walked over quickly, bought a cabbage bun casually, and nibbled on it unhurriedly.
In other words, although he is not a northerner, the bun has always been his favorite, and the key is that the bun is really good!
Soft and delicious, non-greasy, fragrant. Chen Tianyu glanced at the white and tender Q-bomb pasta in his hand, and marveled at the small luck from the folk.
That's when —
A woman in red, dressed fashionably and with all kinds of charms, ran straight towards Li Yiting with a happy smile on her face.
Then openly throw yourself into your arms!
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The sexy woman in red pounced over, and her two pink arms tightly wrapped around Li Yiting's neck, extremely intimate.
Li Yiting frowned slightly, but he couldn't break free, and said angrily: "I've been crazy all day long, I really can't stand it!"
It happened that Liu Zichen was holding the baked cake and walked over while eating, and was stunned when he saw this.
But then he burst out laughing.
"Tian'er!" she was also a little excited, she didn't know it before, but now she knows that this is Li Yiting's own sister - Li Tian.
This is one of the few good friends of hers, if it weren't for the fact that she married a wealthy old man because she met someone unladylike, she wouldn't have been in touch for so long.
[About this past, this article does not want to repeat it, Li Tian and Liu Zichen met in SZ, and later married a big money, in March after marriage, because of the old man's affair, the child was miscarried, at that time, Liu Zichen did not know Li Yiting; when he lived in seclusion in the mountain village, Liu Zichen met with Li Yiting, and only then did he know that Li Tian was his own sister very coincidentally, probably like this. 】
Li Tian let go a little embarrassed, turned his head and said, "Zichen, are you here too?"
"I didn't think I'd come to your house to play, right?" Liu Zichen handed over a baked cake, and Li Tian took it beautifully, "Taste the deliciousness of your own hometown." ”
When Li Tian returned here, he had already ignored his image, grabbing the oily baked cake and gnawing it violently, revealing his ugliness.
Liu Zichen joked: "It's the first time I've seen you look so ugly...... In her impression, Li Tian is indeed an extremely particular person, and she usually looks like a lady.
Li Yiting teased: "Alas, this is called the original form being exposed. He still loves his sister very much, and pulls her suitcase over, and helps her carry the bag on his back.
Li Tian took it for granted to enjoy the benefits of having an elder brother, gnawed on the baked cakes, and said shyly: "When you get to the city, if you don't disguise yourself, others will treat you as a monster." ”
Liu Zichen appreciates her honesty, which also shows that Li Tian has stepped out of the shadows, and she is happy for this good sister in her heart.
"Tian'er, there are a lot of people here this time, all of them are foodies. ”
Li Tian giggled happily.
"It's okay, our family can afford it, it's best to live there forever......" Li Tian walked over and grabbed Liu Zichen's arm, "Who is here, do I know me?"
Liu Zichen shook his head and said, "It's all you don't know." ”
"That's okay, you'll know each other when you come here. Li Tian is a self-acquaintance, "What about them?"
Liu Zichen Nunu mouthed, and gestured towards the baked cake stall and bun shop, Li Tian was even more happy, he was really a group of veritable foodies!
"Why didn't you come back until now?" Li Yiting said angrily, "Mom thought you wouldn't go home." ”
Li Tian said indifferently: "Busy." You're embarrassed to say that I'm so thick-skinned......" She shaved her skin mischievously.
Li Yiting was helpless: "I'm not like you, I don't do my job all day, what about my boyfriend?
Li Tian sneered: "What about your girlfriend?...... Oh each other. ”
"I can't talk about you, you can play by yourself!" Li Yiting waved his hand angrily.
Chen Tianyu finished eating the vegetable bun and wiped it on the rag next to him. His eyes are good, his ears are pointed, and the distance is not far, so he can hear clearly. He smiled slightly and took the initiative to come over.
"Hello, little friend!" he held out his hand.
Li Tianle said: "Big handsome guy, you are Zichen's...... Boyfriend?" She made a bold judgment based on her intuition and Liu Zichen's eyes.
The two shook hands, and Chen Tianyu stretched out his thumb again: "Good eyesight...... Much better than your brother. ”
Li Yiting sneered: "You really know how to chat." ”
Chen Tianyu smiled strangely: "I tell the truth, it's useless to deny it. ”
Li Tian guessed: "You are also a policeman?" She is the one who knows her brother's profession best.
Chen Tianyu shook his head: "I guessed wrong." ”
"Then ?......" Li Tian was puzzled.
Liu Zichen smiled: "Don't worry about it so much, we are now authentic tourists, and your brother is no longer a policeman." ”
Li Tian smiled: "That's right! What's so good about being a policeman, it's tiring and dangerous." ”
"Nonsense. Alright, let's go home...... Jiudao, Yongkun, go home......" Li Yiting planned to beckon everyone to return home, there was no clear purpose for rushing to the market, since my sister stepped on the point and came back, it was just in time for the first meal of the Chinese New Year's Eve - killing the chicken and matching the old wine.
He was hungry too.
Suddenly
Li Tian's big eyes straightened suddenly, and he said like a nymphomaniac: "Hey, who is that person......?"
Everyone was surprised, and they followed her gaze, but it was an acquaintance.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Qiuxi was wandering around the bazaar when he suddenly felt a sharp gaze lock on him, and he was stunned for a moment.
Then he found a beautiful tall and beautiful woman staring straight at him.
His little face burned like a fire.
The ghost walked over like a god, because except for this beautiful woman, who was a little strange, the others were "acquaintances".
Liu Zichen took the initiative to introduce: "This is Officer Qiu from the city. She emphasized the word "city" in particular.
"Officer?!" Li Tian was a little stunned, but he still generously stretched out his little hand and shook Qiu Xi, and an electric shock-like feeling came from the palm of his hand.
"Brother, aren't you also ......" She saw Li Yiting standing behind Qiu Xi and shook her head, she was also a smart person, "Oh......"
"Nice to meet you! My name is Li Tian. She smiled sweetly.
Qiuxi nodded: "Me too." He took the initiative to let go of the hand he was holding, because he already felt the scorching heat from this hand.
Li Tian found that Qiu Xi seemed to be deliberately avoiding her gaze, she smiled slightly, pursed her lips slightly, and didn't know what to think.
Liu Zichen saw through her thoughts, pinched her forearm, the two glanced at each other, and Li Tian laughed.
Wan Yongkun and Kuang Suo reluctantly walked back, still chewing in their mouths, Wan Yongkun was probably thirsty, and gestured towards Li Yiting.
Li Yiting pretended to be confused, holding the water but not moving, looking at him with a smile.
Wan Yongkun was anxious, snatched the water bottle and poured it violently, I don't know if it was choked or what, poof, squirting out a large mouthful of baked cake crumbs......
Everyone laughed, and even Qiu Xi couldn't hold back.
Chen Tianyu's head seemed to have a lightning bolt in his head, and he suddenly asked Li Yiting: "Do you have a water cup in your third uncle's house?"
Li Yiting came back to his senses and thought for a while: "I didn't see it, you mean ?......" he lowered his voice and said, "You mean to say that there should be a cup for drinking water in the third uncle's house?"
"Probably like this......" Chen Tianyu subconsciously touched his nose, he was obviously still thinking.
"Oh, I remember, the third uncle usually doesn't like to drink water, he always puts the teacup in the side hall to write, and goes to sleep after writing every day, this has become a habit. Li Yiting finally recalled, "So it's normal that there are no water cups in the third uncle's room." ”
Chen Tianyu's eyes lit up, and he figured it out.
"Yiting, it seems that things are really not that simple. Have you seen Yongkun's ugliness?"
Li Yiting nodded.
"Do you guess how many baked cakes he has in his mouth?" asked Chen Tianyu.
"A great one?...... Li Yiting thought for a while, "No matter how big your mouth is, you shouldn't be able to hold two baked cakes." ”
Chen Tianyu smiled strangely: "But isn't it, isn't it choking?" he pointed out.
Li Yiting suddenly came to his senses: "You mean ?!!!......?"
"Yes!" Chen Tianyu stopped him from telling the truth. Li Yiting was shocked in his heart, according to this speculation, on the premise of not drinking water, how did the third uncle swallow nearly half a catty of cinnabar in his mouth? This is the same reason as he couldn't cover himself to death.
It was really a word to wake up the person in the dream, Li Yiting suddenly felt heavy, the situation gradually became clear, and the suspicion of the third uncle's murder increased sharply.
But who used such a clever and covert method to kill the third uncle? Ordinary thieves are definitely not necessary, and they can't do it so professionally.
The two suddenly fell silent and no longer participated in everyone's laughter, but fortunately, the others were used to it and did not notice their abnormality.
