Chapter 33: Targeted
Chengjiang County is in the northeast of Hongta City, but the main stream of the Yuanjiang River is in the southwest of Hongta City. After going back and forth, it rained in the countryside of Qingshan, and on the way, he found that another township was also suffering from a severe drought, so he went again.
In one day, three rains and 2.23 million cubic meters of water were used, and Ao Tang, the king of the well, was also tired enough. Once the flame of faith is ignited, it will not be extinguished, and he will do his best to fight drought and provide disaster relief, even if there is no merit to be earned. For the people in the arid areas, rain is happiness, hope, and survival, and their happiness is also the happiness of Ao Tang.
Jingle bells, cell phones ring.
"Ao Tang, where are you? We all went home. ”
Hearing Mi Lu's voice, Ao Tang noticed that he was immersed in a happy career, and before he knew it, it was dark.
"Well, I'm here in Chengjiang. Ah, sorry, I forgot to come back to cook, well, I'll be back in an hour. ”
"No one stipulates that you have to cook, so be careful when driving on the road, we will prepare the meal and wait for you."
Putting down the phone, Mi Lu thought for a moment and said: "Yuanyuan, Ao Tang seems to be a little tired today, he used to speak, he was very powerful and energetic, but just now he looked a little tired." ”
Chen Yuanyuan said: "He is now driving out twice in three days, and he runs so far as he goes, and his fatigue must be slowly accumulating." Maybe I'll do something good today, and it's a lot of effort to save people or something. We make some dishes for him to relieve fatigue and relieve stress. ”
"Well, it must be done." Mi Lu clenched his fists, but his face immediately collapsed, "How to do it?" ”
"Hmph, I'm ready." Chen Yuanyuan went back to his room and took out a few books.
"Huh? Menu. "Family Essential Nutritional Cooking Manual", "Food Supplement", "Introduction to Home Cooking", "Thirty-six Kitchen Strategies", ...... "Grab a Man's Stomach"? ”
Mi Lu flipped through the recipes with great interest, and when he saw the last one, he paused for a few seconds and glanced at Chen Yuanyuan strangely. Chen Yuanyuan was a little flustered, she didn't think about it when she bought the recipes, she directly packed a row of recipes, and now looking at the last book, she was inexplicably a little weak.
Mi Lu threw away the other recipes and picked up the "Food Supplement Encyclopedia", detoxification and health, blood and moisturizing, eye-moisturizing, bodybuilding and weight loss, eliminating fatigue, reducing stress and relaxation, different foods have different effects, to put it clearly, she immediately turned to those dishes that eliminate fatigue.
"Well, it turns out that eel can relieve fatigue, stir-frying shredded eel, it seems very simple...... Hey, no, the eel looks like a snake, what if it's round? Will the supermarket help us kill the slices? ”
"Well, I don't know. I've heard that eels often have parasites in them, so it's okay if they're cooked, but we're novices now, so if they're not cooked, we'll change them. Chen Yuanyuan also recovered his mentality and studied it with Mi Lu.
"Kale herring balls, fried squid flowers with fungus, Ao soup to eat fish, but it seems difficult to burn fish......"
"It's okay, let's rise to the challenge."
"Well, there's a fish, hey, squid isn't a fish, well, there's a herring anyway. Look at it again, ah, this is simple, wolfberry mixed with yam, yam, wolfberry, lemon, you don't even need to add seasoning, it's great. ”
"That's right, in case of failure, we're looking for these simple dishes. Ah, lotus seed and lily stew, this is good, this is good, just put things in a casserole and stew. ”
"Four dishes, you and Ao Tang were two people last night, and they both had six dishes."
"There's no way, we're not good at cooking, it's too late, we have to go grocery shopping first. At most, buy some more fruit and make a fruit salad, which is considered five dishes. ”
The two set the menu, hurriedly went to the supermarket, bought vegetables and cooked, in a hurry, fortunately, they were also smart women, and after an hour, they finally sorted out five dishes.
The sound of the key opening the door sounded, Ao Tang came back on time, and at a glance, he saw Mi Lu and Chen Yuanyuan's faces full of pride.
"Ao Tang, you're back, Dangdang, please look at the table, how about it, we're not bad, right?"
Ao Tang glanced at the dishes on the table, the fruit salad was very exquisite, the stew was quite fragrant, the yam was sliced, well, a bit of art, the fried squid seemed to be a little fried from the appearance, as for the other plate, the kale cut was not bad, but what was the kale burned? Ao Tang recognized it for a while, and finally recognized that this dish should be kale herring balls, which didn't seem to be fully cooked......
Ao Tang blinked, there were at least two failed five dishes, maybe after tasting it, there would be others that failed, but looking at Mi Lu and Chen Yuanyuan's expectant praise, he couldn't just give a bad review.
What's more, at this time, Ao Tang's mind is not on the dishes at all, his heart is warm, how many years, since his grandfather died, how many years has no one cooked and waited for him to come back and eat. Renting a house for more than ten days, Mi Lu and Chen Yuanyuan have also done it before, but Ao Tang was on the side before, and they took over in time when they failed. When he returned home like today, there was a hot dish waiting for him, and this feeling of home after a long time was the first time in several years. The heart is warm, the eyes are a little moist, an orphan, no matter how strong he is, deep down in his heart he still longs for the love of the family, if it weren't for the man's tears and not flicking, maybe Ao Tang would be embarrassed.
"Well, yes, yes, very powerful, Mi Lu, Chen Yuanyuan, thank you for your hard work." Ao Tang praised loudly, which immediately made Mi Lu and Chen Yuanyuan laugh contentedly.
"Huh? Milu your fingers? Ao Tang finally noticed the band-aid on the finger of Mi Lu's left hand, and quickly pulled her hand up, and said with concern: "Cut?" How's it going, does it still hurt? ”
"I was careless when I cut the yam, it was a little painful, but now it doesn't hurt." Milu's eyes are shining.
Chen Yuanyuan rubbed his fingers on the side, I really wish I could cut my fingers too, Ao Tang must also care about her, right? It's a pity that when she cut kale today, she remembered the feeling and rhythm when Ao Tang taught her to chop vegetables yesterday, and it turned out to be quite smooth.
"Uh-huh." Chen Yuanyuan opened his mouth and said: "Ao Tang should be hungry, we are also hungry, hurry up and start eating." ”
"Uh-huh." Mi Lu withdrew his hand, "Ao Tang, you go wash your hands, let's go serve the rice...... Hey? Yes! Mi Lu suddenly screamed, Chen Yuanyuan also reacted, hugged Mi Lu and shouted, "Oh my God, we only care about cooking, we forgot to cook!" ”
Ao Tang suddenly laughed: "You two careless ghosts, ahahaha." ”
"Ah, despised by Ao Tang!" Mi Lu pouted, "Yuanyuan, let's hurry up and cook." ”
"I'll do it anyway." Ao Tang smiled: "I'm going into the kitchen anyway." As he spoke, he picked up the plate of kale herring balls, which were going to be returned to the pot.
"Hey, Ao Tang, are you going to take this dish away? Ah, wouldn't it? Mi Lu and Chen Yuanyuan finally understood, "Haven't we done it well?" ”
Ao Tang comforted: "Practice makes perfect, you will definitely be able to cook well in the future." Now, I did it the first time I cooked. ”
"Really?"
Of course it's fake, Ao Tang smiled, he did a good job of cooking for the first time many years ago. I drew another pair of chopsticks and tasted the other dishes one by one.
"Well, okay, you still have some potential. These dishes don't need to be returned to the pot, especially the fruit salad, which is quite good. ”
Chen Yuanyuan suddenly became proud: "Ao soup, fruit salad is made by me." "She often makes fruit juice and is very good at making fruit.
"Then if you are hungry, eat some vegetables to cushion your stomachs, and it will take a while to cook. Oh, there's still some ingredients in the fridge, so it's late anyway, so I'll add two more dishes. ”
Seeing Ao Tang busy in the kitchen, Mi Lu and Chen Yuanyuan also hurriedly went in to help, brought the fruit salad in, took a toothpick, and made it while eating.
"Ao Tang, ah......" Mi Lu inserted a banana and teased Ao Tang to open his mouth wide.
On the bar, in the fish tank, Qingjia looked at the dragon king in the kitchen, and his stomach was full of envy. From last night to tonight, it hadn't eaten for twenty-four hours, and it couldn't eat the Arowana in the tank. When he was aggrieved, Qingjia suddenly saw Ao Tang take a small plate of fruit out and go straight to the bar.
"Qingjia, are you hungry? Let's eat a few pieces of fruit first. This is what Ao Tang said with his mouth, and then he communicated in his heart, "I will send you back to the river after dinner." ”
"Lord Dragon." Qingjia was grateful to Dade and rejoiced, and suddenly remembered something again, and reported: "Lord Dragon King, a suspicious woman has been in the house today. ”
Suspicious woman? Could it be a female thief? Ao Tang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked Qingjia to explain in detail.
The time goes back to ...... morning.
On the 807 balcony, Tian Qiong watched Ao Tang and the others leave. Although the 12.13 extraordinarily large case of smuggling rare wild animals has been handed over to the Chuncheng Forest Public Security Bureau, Tian Qiong stubbornly did not let go. Her father is a retired old policeman, she grew up under her father's words and deeds since she was a child, and she must never give up on the case, and she must not let go of suspicious characters, and in her eyes, Ao Tang is definitely suspicious.
Moreover, as an outstanding graduate of Tiannan Police Academy this year, Tian Qiong has been handling trivial cases since she joined the criminal police team for a few months, and she finally ran into a big case, and she was unwilling to let it go. She is not stupid either, Team Li obviously doesn't want to provoke Ao Tang's girlfriend's father for no reason, but in Tian Qiong's opinion, the people's police are upright, how can they retreat because there is someone behind the target?
Although in this case, Ao Tang is the righteous and courageous informant, not the suspect, but Ao Tang's behavior is so suspicious, there must be something wrong with this!
So Tian Qiong made up her mind to investigate to the end, even if Team Li didn't support it, she would investigate it alone. The old father of the Tian family is the old political commissar of the Chuncheng police circle, and the current director of the city bureau is his old subordinates, so although Tian Qiong is only a new police officer, he can use a lot of resources. When a friend from the traffic police found out that Ao Tang drove to Fuxian Lake, Tian Qiong immediately called an old locksmith.
"Xiao Tian, it is said that you didn't go through the procedure, I can't unlock you, but since you are Lao Tian's daughter, I believe you."
The old locksmith is also the record of the Public Security Bureau, and Lao Tian has many years of friendship, and immediately showed the leading technology in the Chuncheng locksmith industry, and easily opened the 808 anti-theft door.
After thanking the old locksmith, Tian Qiong immediately flashed into the room, she decided that there was something wrong with Ao Tang, and wanted to search his home privately, if she could find any clues, she could further investigate Ao Tang.
"Huh? A jade pillow seems to be very valuable? Phew, I'm not a thief. Ao Tang is a poor orphan, so he shouldn't be able to have it, right? Stolen? ”
Tian Qiong's heart was overjoyed, but she soon remembered that Mi Lu's mother was a jade merchant, maybe Mi Lu gave it to Ao Tang, and it seemed that she couldn't make evidence, so she couldn't help but be depressed.
"Huh? Dollars, fifty thousand dollars! ”
Ao Tang bought 50,000 yuan and 50,000 US dollars that night, and the yuan was saved very simply, but the dollars were always lost in the room.
"Ao Tang can't have so much money, there's a problem...... Uh, it can't be Mi Lu who raised him with his wallet, right? Although I don't have much contact with Mi Lu, that girl shouldn't be this kind of person. It's Ao Tang, which looks ...... Well, this suspicious guy has a lot to do with me! ”
"Alas, there are no clues in the Ao soup room, anyway, I came, and I searched Mi Lu and Chen Yuanyuan's room. Hey, this Chen Yuanyuan's underwear, I really envy her figure......"
Tian Qiong was carefully rummaging through the cabinets over there, but there was a crab crawling quietly behind her. Qingjia found a suspicious character, and directly climbed out of the fish tank, and followed Tian Qiong all the way into three rooms successively. Staring at his eyes and dancing with his pincers, although the Dragon King had issued an edict not to hurt people at will, if this suspicious woman had any behavior that damaged her surname, Qingjia would not allow her to destroy the Dragon King's residence.
Bedroom, bathroom, storage room, kitchen, living room, dining room...... Tian Qiong carefully and carefully searched the past one by one, but was disappointed that she did not find any clues. The only thing that was a little suspicious was the $50,000.
"Fish tank? It's Arowana, right? Hey, I seem to have seen a big crab when I came in before, why wasn't it in the fish tank? This water trail ...... Oops, the crab ran out. Tian Qiong followed the water trails on the floor and found Qingjia, who immediately pretended to be an ordinary crab and crawled around, "What a big crab!" Don't run, where to run! I'm the first female detective in the future, and it's not easy to catch a crab...... Huhu, I finally caught it, it's such a big crab, I haven't eaten crabs for a long time. ”
Listening to the sound of this suspicious woman swallowing saliva, Qingjia was almost about to take out the true strength of the crab general, but fortunately, Tian Qiong grabbed it and played with it for a while, and then put it back in the fish tank.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred, and the originally calm water surface in the fish tank actually swelled with waves, one heavy and one heavy, as if in the sea. This moment is the moment when Ao Tang turns into a dragon in Fuxian Lake.
Tian Qiong was startled, and her heart suddenly became furious: "This, this, what's going on?" Impossible? This is just a very ordinary fish tank, there is no flow pump, right? ”
Her old father also loves fish farming, and Tian Qiong's knowledge of fish tanks is quite comprehensive.
"There must be a problem, there must be a problem. Ao Tang is a suspicious guy, even his fish tank is weird. ”
Tian Qiong ended the private search with disappointment, and left room 808 with more doubts and a hint of fear.
"That policewoman......" Listening to Qingjia's description, Ao Tang immediately knew who it was, and couldn't help frowning, "Really, a good person like me was targeted by the police." ”
If you want to say that you are afraid, the dignified Dragon King is naturally not afraid, but you have nothing to do to be stared at by the police, what if the secret of the Dragon King is exposed one day?
"Gotta find a solution."
