Chapter 37: Steamed Cabbage Heart (Part II)
In winter, there are only seasonal vegetables and fruits on the market to supply ordinary people, and if you want to taste fresh out-of-season fruits and vegetables that also have greenhouses, those who can afford them must have money and access.
Lin Yuxiao's worth and status are second to none in Mengzhou City, he is not too lazy to buy it, Du Shaonan and Fang Xiaozhu naturally know it, but they know better what it means to be superb, Lin Yuxiao's cooking skills They have had the pleasure of tasting it once before, and they can definitely make ordinary vegetables into unparalleled deliciousness.
"What about Yue Linfeng? Didn't you say he was home too? Du Shaonan looked for another owner.
"He came back and told me what happened in the early hours of the morning, and then he locked himself in the house and said that he had to think about it." Lin Yuxiao said a word and planned to go to the kitchen, half of his dishes were ready, and the fire on the kang was ready.
Everyone has known each other for many years, and Lin Yuxiao doesn't need to be polite in the front hall, and besides, he drinks tea and chats with guests, so who will cook?
"What does he think, business or private?" Because everyone is very familiar, Du Shaonan pulled Fang Xiaozhu to the kitchen and asked while watching Lin Yuxiao cook.
"Probably both." Lin Yuxiao replied, "Linfeng didn't tell me specifically. ”
"He didn't say why he was ambushed in the Liu Mansion, but let Lu Tingqi kill the suspect?" Du Shaonan asked.
"He said that at that time, the suspect wanted to arrest Miss Liu as a hostage, and he and Lu Tingqi were both to save people." Lin Yuxiao cut vegetables in front of the board and replied without looking back.
“…… Want to help? Fang Xiaozhu is not so comfortable with eating ready-made.
"There's nothing I need help with in the kitchen," he could do alone, "and there are rumors out there that I want to know what the best and worst are." ”
"The best is similar to what you said, Lu Tingqi stabbed the murderer in order to save Miss Liu, and Lord Qinchayue failed to make a contribution because he protected Miss Liu." Fang Xiaozhu's tone was light.
"Oh, this should have been spread by the catchers present, it's similar to what Linfeng told me, what's the worst?" Lin Yuxiao's ingredients were prepared and moved to the stove.
This time Fang Xiaozhu didn't speak, Du Shaonan deliberately exaggerated sighed: "It's really unspeakable......"
"We're afraid you'll be upset to hear it." Fang Xiaozhu explained.
"I'm not happy about anything, I wasn't there yesterday." Lin Yuxiao said indifferently.
Fang Xiaozhu was stunned: "But ......"
Du Shaonan smiled: "If you don't get angry, I'll just say it, in short, in addition to the rumors spread today, most of the others are not good for you, saying that you have no ability and inaction is light, saying that you are greedy for beauty and sex because of private waste, especially when you are ugly today, in front of everyone, Lord Yue and Miss Liu came out of the shadows one after another......"
"What do you mean by your greed for beauty and lust? And my rumors? While the pot was simmering on the stove, Lin Yuxiao turned around and asked.
"I didn't say that you are greedy for beauty and abolishing the public because of your personal interests, at most you have no ability to do nothing, including you, after all, the two of you are here to handle the case," Du Shaonan corrected part of it and continued, "At that time, in full view of everyone, Lord Yue and Miss Liu came out of the shadows one after another...... Lord Yue explained that it was Miss Liu who patrolled with him, which was a reason, many people in Mengzhou City knew that Miss Liu was good at martial arts, but what happened next made the suspicions continue to magnify......"
"First, Lu Tingqi has already restrained the suspect, what's the point of hiding in the shadows again? Moreover, Yue Linfeng and Miss Liu came out one after another, Lord Yue's expression was normal, but Miss Liu seemed to be afraid. This is what Fang Xiaozhu said.
"Second, Miss Liu didn't bring a weapon, and when the suspect rushed towards her, she didn't fight back or run away, but was stunned, so she still patrolled together? Is it true that all the children present are three-year-olds? Du Shaonan sneered.
"So what?" Lin Yuxiao fried a plate of dishes and served it on the table, and asked casually.
"It's really cabbage...... Du Shaonan's attention suddenly fell on the dish, it was indeed a very simple plate of fried cabbage, except for the cabbage, he didn't add any vegetables, but he looked crispy and smelled fragrant, "You added sesame oil?" ”
"A little drenched at the end." Lin Yuxiao turned around and went to fry other dishes.
Du Shaonan really wanted to eat it immediately, but it was common sense that the dishes that had just come out of the pot could not be eaten immediately, so in order to divert his attention, he continued, "So the rumor is that Miss Liu didn't go to arrest the murderer with Lord Qincha, the two of them ...... At best, I heard that it was a tryst, the middle one was called a private one, and the low one was a reluctant one, but there were two kinds of rumors, one was that Lord Yue oppressed people with his power and forced Miss Liu to comply, so Miss Liu was afraid that she would faint; The other is that Miss Liu is greedy for vanity and recommends herself as a pillow. ”
"The more vulgar rumors of this kind are, the more favored by the world, and the more they will affect the reputation of your Qincha." Fang Xiaozhu said solemnly.
"If you hear it's fake, will anyone believe it?" Lin Yuxiao put a plate of fried shredded radish on the table.
This plate of fried carrots has eggs added to it, and the red and yellow color is even more attractive, Du Shaonan can only look up and not take a closer look: "Why is it fake when you hear it?" There is evidence from outside, and even we believe it for eight points. ”
"Eight points? And what about two points? Lin Yuxiao said curiously.
"The other two points...... Barely had some confidence in Yue Linfeng...... "Fang Xiaozhu is unhappy, but he doesn't want to do it."
"I am different from Xiaozhu, the only two points of confidence I have left are for Miss Liu, from the peach blossom on a snowy night." Because he happened to witness it with his own eyes, Du Shaonan thought that Liu Yiyi had a crush on Lin Yuxiao, except for the woman's ...... I plan to take all the beautiful men.
Du Shaonan didn't trust Yue Linfeng, which Fang Xiaozhu was not surprised by, because the two of them had looked at each other since they were children, but they ......, "What do you mean by peach blossoms on a snowy night?" "He doesn't know that.
"Peach blossoms on a snowy night are a dish." Lin Yuxiao only explained this, and Du Shaonan didn't explain anything.
Fang Xiaozhu understood that this topic should be over, so he continued: "How much do you believe the rumors outside?" ”
"Five points, I believe that Miss Liu didn't go out in the middle of the night to catch thieves, she doesn't have that ability, but it is absolutely impossible to say that the two of them have a private meeting." Lin Yuxiao brought the last dish in a firm tone.
This time, Du Shaonan couldn't care to see what kind of dish it was: "You believe in Yue Linfeng's character so much?" He didn't believe that there were really brothers and sisters in this world, and even if there were, it shouldn't have anything to do with Yue Linfeng.
"It has nothing to do with character, don't think about it so complicated." Lin Yuxiao replied.
What is the reason for that? Du Shaonan and Fang Xiaozhu glanced at each other, it seemed that neither of them understood.
"How simple is it, you don't know how cold it was last night and early this morning? I built two braziers in the house and covered a thick quilt so that it didn't freeze, and there will be people outside to talk about love in this weather? Lin Yuxiao said and began to serve the meal.
"Ahem......" Du Shaonan choked without eating or drinking, he guessed many reasons in his heart for Lin Yuxiao's righteousness to help Yue Linfeng cover up, but he just didn't expect this, but don't say it, this is the simplest one but the most reasonable.
Only when you are full of warmth will you think about that...... Fang Xiaozhu also thinks that normal people will not have a house to use, but in the cold wind and open air, you and I will be nong, but, "After coming to Mengzhou, Yue Linfeng looks like a normal person?" Can you guarantee that he won't be as enthusiastic as the fire and not afraid of the cold wind? ”
“…… He's not abnormal, huh? Lin Yuxiao blinked incomprehensibly, in his opinion, Yue Linfeng had never changed.
“…… Yes, Yue Linfeng is very normal! Du Shaonan agreed, and kicked Fang Xiaozhu lightly at his feet, "Let's eat, I haven't seen what your last dish is." ”
"Steamed cabbage heart," Lin Yuxiao said, "I have cabbage and radish here, radish and cabbage." ”
That said, this steamed cabbage heart is not simple, with sea rice, peas, winter bamboo shoot slices, and even a hint of aged wine in it.
As soon as Du Shaonan picked up the chopsticks, he didn't have time to pay attention to anything else, Fang Xiaozhu also liked Lin Yuxiao's cooking skills, but he was more attentive than Du Shaonan: "Doesn't Yue Linfeng come out to eat?" ”
"I'll keep everything for him, and I'll try to persuade him later." Lin Yuxiao also sat down to eat.
Fang Xiaozhu has never been able to let go of his heart, he is a native of Mengzhou, but since he was a child, he traveled around with his father, who was an official, until his father was promoted to Beijing official five years ago, and he followed him into Beijing, and he didn't know the Du family, who was a relative of the emperor and the country.
Du Shaonan is actually a measured person, for example, he is also a gentleman in the capital, but he does not have the name of a little overlord, and he is also a bit really talented and cheerful, so Fang Xiaozhu made this friend.
Then through Du Shaonan, Fang Xiaozhu got acquainted with Lin Yuxiao and Yue Linfeng, Lin Yuxiao was not picky at all except for his insistence on eating, and his appearance, talent, character, and temperament were very perfect.
Yue Linfeng is also an excellent character in any way, at most he is a little unsmiling, and he doesn't look as easy to get along with as Lin Yuxiao, but this point can't negate his excellence.
Fang Xiaozhu had a high opinion of Yue Linfeng when he was in the capital, so he didn't understand why Du Shaonan just didn't like Yue Linfeng at that time, and remembered that every time he asked, Du Shaonan didn't explain, but whenever others praised Yue Linfeng and made any contributions, Du Shaonan couldn't help but say, "Now you all say that he is good, wait for the future...... Humph......"
The future is coming so fast, Fang Xiaozhu reunited with Yue Linfeng at the end of last year, but he said something based on the inconsistencies of Miss Liu's family - he was really not slandering, let alone saying half a bad word about hurting the woman's reputation, but Yue Linfeng's face suddenly changed, either angry or murderous.
Friends, Fang Xiaozhu didn't know how to become like this, maybe Du Shaonan was right, he didn't actually know Yue Linfeng.
So what about the two people who know to eat in front of you?
Fang Xiaozhu couldn't be in a good mood, he ate cabbage delicious and delicious, and he was indeed a good cook, but could it still be called cabbage with so many other things added to cabbage? So is it true for choy sum? What about the human heart?
"Don't think about it, let's eat it, if one day Yuxiao is also in love, he won't cook for us." Du Shaonan also came to such a sentence.
