One hundred and fourteen, the butcher
The restaurant is full of potpourri, and you can hear the crowds outside when you stand in the hall. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info only blames the spring light for being just right, and there are too many people traveling in Qingqing.
Xiao Bao'er strode towards the door, saw the door, turned back and asked the little maid loudly, "These water signs are all dish names?" β
The little maid said: "You haven't been to Potpourri, all the dishes here are mainly flowers." β
Xiao Bao'er became interested when she heard it, and she asked, "What is the concubine smiling?" β
"Peony stewed snow fungus has the effect of clearing lung heat, benefiting the spleen and stomach, and nourishing yin and nourishing Jin. Take two white peony flowers, 30 grams of snow fungus, some rootless water, accompanied by salt, rice wine, and pepper. β
Xiao Baoer just wanted to order, and then heard the little girl say: "The girl has a good eye, this is the signature dish of our store." β
"How much silver?"
"Ten taels."
Xiao Bao'er flipped the purse given by Xuanjin and asked in a low voice, "So expensive?" β
"The girl doesn't know, the concubine's smiling materials are very particular, not only the flowers are good, but the snow fungus and rootless water are all of the highest quality. There is no snow in Songdi, and the store specially asked someone to go to Zhongling Mountain in Chendi to pick snow......"
Rootless water is rain or snow water. As soon as she heard what the little girl said, Xiao Bao'er stopped thinking about eating this dish, and she helped Yao Xitong pick snow in Zhongling for a while.
"What is the Closed Moon Flower?"
"Sophora steamed cake."
"What does this have to do with the moon?"
The little guy said patiently, "Crescent-shaped rice cakes." β
"What is a butterfly love flower?"
"The magnolia slices are stir-fried with golden needle flowers, and when the chef changes the knife, the magnolia slices are butterfly-shaped."
Xiao Bao'er was very satisfied with the little girl's answer, and wanted to ask again, but the little girl said, "What dish does the girl order?" If you don't want it for the time being, the small ones still have something to do. β
"I don't even know what these dishes are and what they are, how to order them?"
The little guy was impatient, "Girl, all the dishes are cooked with flowers, and the prices are not cheap. β
"Bullying me for having no money, right?" Xiao Bao'er threw the money bag given by Xuan Jin on the table as she spoke, and there was really not much money in the shriveled bag. She thought that ordering a dish would be enough.
The little girl smiled when he saw the money bag, "You are from the courtyard of the third girl!" We can place orders here, what does the girl want? β
Xiao Bao'er also smiled, pointed to the water sign on the wall and said, "Give me a copy of everything." β
Mei Shiren went home to get his things and went to the yamen, and saw Xiao Baoer sitting in the potpourri eating in a big way, and the two of them were stunned.
Xiao Bao'er asked in a ghostly manner, "Do you want to eat together?" β
Mei Shiren really sat down, served himself a bowl of japonica rice and lotus leaf porridge, and said loudly, "Thank you, girl, Feng is busy with official business, and it just so happens that he hasn't had lunch today." β
"Eat more, the third girl has a treat, I don't have that much silver."
Mei Shiren glanced at Xiao Bao'er in surprise, curious about how she could get mixed up with Xuan Jin. Thinking of Xuan Ze's evaluation of her character, he didn't say that he was stupid, he only said that she was upright, and it was really like this when I first saw her today.
He almost killed Xiao Bao'er, and there were only two people in the world who could connect him with the Black and White Pavilion Master, Bai Songmei and Xuan Ze. Anyone who knows his true identity but them should die.
As Falco, he lived with this ordinary identity for nearly thirty years. If he could, he hoped to use this identity for the rest of his life.
The Black and White Pavilion is a gadget he made in his spare time, and helping Xuan Ze is what he owes to Bai Songmei. All of this is really uninteresting compared to the goals he pursues, what can the imperial industry do, can he live a long life?
Xiao Baoer has a soft spot for a dish of fried beef with daylily, and seeing her pinching a few chopsticks in a row, Mei Shiren suddenly said, "This dish is poisonous!" β
"What!" Xiao Bao'er didn't eat the dishes with her hands, and she didn't put them back, she looked very stupid.
Mei Shiren said again: "The daylily must be removed from the flower center, blanched in boiling water and fished out, otherwise it will be poisonous and will kill if you eat it." β
The little guy who served the food happened to hear this, and hurriedly comforted Xiao Bao'er, "Don't be afraid, girl, Feng is making fun of you." There were people from other places who wanted to learn from us and use flowers to attract diners, but the cooking process was not handled properly, and the chef who tried the dish was poisoned and died, and the boss accused us of having a problem with the dish. Thanks to Feng Chengzuo's insightful eyes and torches, he helped us clear our grievances. β
Mei Shiren said with a smile: "The case was more than ten years ago, and I like to use it to scare people. β
Xiao Bao'er patted her chest in fear, and said that she wouldn't eat the daylily in the chopsticks.
Mei Shiren was very satisfied with Xiao Bao'er's performance, and he looked like he was really here for the assassins who appeared in the Song Lord's Mansion, and it had nothing to do with the Black and White Pavilion. How dare you not run away after the two meet, but stay where they are and eat and drink?
When she heard that the dishes were poisonous, her first reaction was not to induce vomiting, but to be in a daze, and it was obvious that she only recognized Feng Ke, not Mei Shiren, the master of the Black and White Pavilion.
A bowl of lotus leaf porridge bottomed out, and Mei Shi thanked Xiao Bao'er and asked him to say hello to Xuan Jin on his behalf.
Mei Shiren left, and Xiao Baoer was so supportive that she wanted to vomit. In order to deceive this person, she ate so many dishes after lunch, if Mei Shiren sat for a while, she really couldn't help but vomit.
It was evening when she returned to the palace, and Mianmian asked her when she was going to eat, and she waved her hand and said no, she wanted to lie down and rest for a while.
In the middle of the night, Xiao Baoer suddenly woke up, and she realized a big problem.
Everyone thought that the Song Lord's Mansion had nothing to do with her, except for Mianmian.
Mianmian knew that the assassin was hiding in her house, and once she talked to Xuan Ze about the events of that night, Xuan Ze's intelligence would definitely be able to think that she had guessed the identity of the Black and White Pavilion Master......
Thinking about it along this line of thought, Xiao Baoer suddenly felt that she was very dangerous.
Mei Shiren used so many means to hide his identity, listening to him chatting with the little guy, he had been doing his work more than ten years ago, and he must have been in Song Land for a long time. Who can keep such a low profile after having an organization like the Black and White Cabinet? And why be so low-key?
For some reason, she felt that Mei Shiren was hiding a lot of secrets, and these secrets must be related to a shocking event.
To be safe, she put on a dress and walked to the outhouse, where she saw Mianmian resting on the table.
Hearing the movement, the man immediately woke up and asked, "What's the matter with the girl, you can call me in the house, there is no need to come out, be careful of catching a cold!" β
"Come here," she beckoned to Mianmian.
When the two were close enough, she suddenly pressed Mianmian's head and twisted it left and right, only to hear a "click", Mianmian fell to the ground and died. She went back to bed as she had come, and sighed: I can finally sleep well!
The next day, when it was time to fight, no one called early.
She buried her head in the brocade quilt and scolded secretly: What kind of maid arranged by Bai Songmei, except for Mianmian, there is no one who is of top use, is it difficult for her to shout to catch a thief and act early in the morning!
About a tea time, she was about to get out of bed when there was a noise outside.
A maid came in with water and whispered, "Girl, it's time to get up!" β
"Where's Mianmian?"
"The slave and maid are not seen, but the people in the yard are looking for it."
Xiao Bao'er rubbed her hair and fell into confusion, everything that happened last night was just her dream? No, she did kill Mianmian, but what about the corpse?
If you don't understand, you don't want to, this is the principle she has always adhered to. As long as there is no such vision that Mianmian is still alive, she can accept whatever happens.
Without waiting for breakfast to be finished, Xuan Jin rushed into the courtyard.
Xiao Bao'er thought it was for the silver, but she asked, "You said you know how to cook, right?" β
"Yes."
"What's the specialty dish?"
"Third girl, why are you asking this?"
Xuan Jin said excitedly, "Zhu Zhigao did return to the Song Land, asked him why he came back so early, and only said that his birthday was approaching, and he wanted to come back to celebrate with a banquet." β
Xiao Bao'er had a very bad premonition, Xuan Jin didn't want her to pretend to be a cook to sneak into Zhu Zhigao's birthday banquet!
Sure enough, Xuan Jin said: "He set up a banquet in Yedu, I thought that the house would receive an invitation, how do I know that it is a family banquet, except for the children surnamed Zhu, there are no outsiders." β
Xiao Bao'er didn't speak, with her understanding of Xuan Jin, there was no need to ask, Xuan Jin would definitely tell the matter clearly.
"What's so great about the family banquet, what's the great thing about inviting the home-raised drama troupe at the banquet, they always have to eat......" Hearing this, Xiao Baoer finally couldn't help it, and asked: "The Zhu family's opera troupe can afford it, is it possible that there are not a few cooks?" β
"Yes, but I can get the cook away."
"What's the solution?" Xiao Baoer's first thought was to take drugs.
Xuan Jin opened the folding fan and shook it, "Don't ask about this, anyway, there was a seat vacated that day, and you pretended to be a chef and took me to sneak in." β
couldn't hide from what should have come, Xiao Bao'er asked resignedly: "How can a seat take you?" β
"Chefs have assistants, and I'm your assistant. By the way, what are you going to cook? β
Xiao Bao'er is embarrassed, she can cook cow heads, but cooking cow heads requires a person with excellent knife skills who can shave the meat on the cow's face; She can burn rabbit heads, but she needs someone who can match the seasoning, so that it will be delicious; She can also steam mutton buns, but there is no delicious mutton in Songdi.
After thinking for a long time, she asked, "Do you have to see Zhu Zhigao?" β
"Of course, I don't see how he asked Wu Jun for news."
"What if he doesn't tell you?"
Xuan Jin obviously didn't think about this answer, and asked rhetorically: "Zhu Zhijuan was killed by the Wu family, I can do justice for him, why didn't he tell me?" β
Xiao Baoer was silent, and when she narrated Zhu Zhijuan's case, she was worried about offending Xuanjin, she only said that Zhu Zhijuan was killed by the Wu family, but did not say that the person who did it was Wu Guo. If Xuan Jin wants to do justice for Zhu Zhigao, it is equivalent to sending his fiancΓ© to prison.
She obviously wanted to help, but the more she helped, the more she helped, and in the end, it was more like hurting Xuanjin.
"Xiaoxiao, why don't you speak, maybe your identity as a cook is fake, right?"
"Third girl, let the kitchen find a few osmanthus fish and send them to me, and I will make them a famous dish on the day of the dinner - stinky osmanthus fish."
Xuan Jin asked suspiciously: "Why haven't I heard of this famous dish, what kind of cuisine?" β
Xiao Bao'er said casually: "Yao's cuisine." β
finally coaxed Xuan Jin away, Xiao Bao'er asked the maid who was waiting beside her, "Did Mianmian find it?" β
Several maids shook their heads, and one of them said, "The matter has been told to the old lady, and it is estimated that the old lady will let the guards enter the courtyard to find someone." β
Xiao Baoer silently returned to the room, picked up the needle and thread in a tangled manner and continued to compare with the embroidery frame. She wanted to know better than anyone, what about Mianmian?
In the afternoon, the kitchen brought a bucket of fresh cinnamon fish. She washed and peeled the fish, and like Yao Xitong, she first salted it with fine salt for a while, and then pressed it with stones, waiting for the fish to ferment naturally and become stinky. It is said that the skin and flesh of the fish are relatively firm after being pressed with stones.
At night, there was still no news.
Xiao Bao'er can't sleep, she wants to see people when she lives, and she wants to see corpses when she dies, so how can a fresh corpse be gone when she wakes up?
Fearing that Mianmian's corpse would be hidden in the room, she searched the room carefully with an oil lamp like a monkey that day.
Walking up to the table, knowing that there was nothing underneath, she still bent down to take a look. At that moment, the oil lamp suddenly went out. She sighed, the day before yesterday, she waited for Xuanze all night, the oil lamp was lit all night, and if she was alive, she would definitely not forget to add oil.
She threw away the oil lamp casually, wanting to call someone, but found that the thrown oil lamp did not have a sound of landing.
There are people in the house!!
As soon as she thought of this, she instinctively bent over and rolled to the ground, only to hear the sound of a blade cutting through the air, and then silence returned.
It is a good habit of the Northern Liao people to carry a fire sickle with them.
Without waiting for the second knife to come, Xiao Bao'er lit the fire sickle, and in the faint light, she saw a somewhat familiar face, and blurted out: "Do you still have lamb legs for sale here?" β
Hearing this, the blade that the butcher was about to fall suddenly froze in the air.
The butcher came from the Prison Cow Hall, studied the art for three years, and the best blade was the knife.
His life plan is very simple, survive the robbery period safely, and become the number one killer of the Black and White Pavilion.
His dream was shattered more simply, and when he killed a sheep, he met Xiao Bao'er, who bought a leg of mutton.
The first lesson of killer training, if you don't have the certainty of retreating, don't shoot.
The butcher made a move, because Xiao Bao'er looked so weak.
In the second lesson of killer training, you have to see blood when you come out of the knife, and you can't go back with a white blade if you have a murderous intent.
The butcher cut off his fingers, because the few people behind Xiao Bao'er were not good at stubble, and if they killed Xiao Bao'er, they would break the first rule. He had to use his finger to sacrifice the knife and complete the second rule.
The loss of his finger made him hate Xiao Bao'er very much, and that night he called out to the brother of the prison cow hall to take revenge, and happened to meet the entertainer of the Pu prison hall, and the two sides were about to start a fight but were shocked by the gluttonous lion's roar.
The butcher retired, intending to make a comeback the next day. The news that the entertainer was torn to pieces made the brothers of the Prison Niu Tang afraid, and seeing that they refused to help, the butcher planned to kill Xiao Bao'er by himself.
On that day, he changed his life goal from the number one killer in the world to killing Xiao Baoer.
From that day on, he followed Xiao Bao'er not far away, from the time they left the ghost town to the time Xiao Bao'er came to Song Land alone.
The butcher's hand holding the knife was hanging in the air, and by the faint light, Xiao Baoer saw that there were more deep knife marks on the desk.
She asked: "You want to assassinate me, the moment the knife fell, the oil lamp went out, I suddenly bent down, you didn't kill me?" β
The butcher nodded awkwardly, Xiao Bao'er basically never left people, and it was rare that when he was alone, he assassinated several times, and every time there was an accident. Only once did he almost succeed, and he lured the angry Winter Bear behind Xiao Bao'er......
