"How could there be one less chicken?" Qian was a little puzzled.

The chickens bought back were kept in captivity in the open space outside the kitchen, and after they were killed, they were cleaned and sent to the kitchen by the Qian family, and the whole process was personally supervised by her.

"I counted thirty-nine chickens this morning, yes." Second Aunt Zhao said.

"Forget it."

Yun Xiaoshuang frowned, interrupting everyone's speculation, "One less is one less, and it doesn't have much impact." ”

At the moment, the most important thing is to make the chicken powder first, and as for the matter of the chicken disappearing, she will wait until she is done with this period of time.

Seeing this, Qian didn't say anything, but his expression became more and more remorseful.

In her eyes, the reason why Yun Xiaoshuang handed over these errands to her was completely out of trust in herself, but now that she had lost a chicken, she really felt very guilty.

Qian made up her mind that she must find out the whole thing, otherwise she might not be able to face Yun Xiaoshuang and the Zhao family in the future.

Yun Xiaoshuang naturally didn't know what Qian was thinking, so she completely focused on the remaining eighteen chickens.

Yun Xiaoshuang and Zhao Hong's mother and daughter were busy in the kitchen for an afternoon, and it was not until sunset that the rest of the chicken powder was finally made.

However, not long after they finished their work, there was a noise outside the house.

"Let's go! Let me in! ”

"Push what? I know to go! ”

Yun Xiaoshuang heard the voice and went out to see, it turned out that it was the Qian family who came to the door with the Wang family and several village women who helped together today, and there was also the lieutenant chief who was walking with her.

"What's going on?"

"Xiaoshuang, you don't know that the chicken that was missing before was actually stolen by the Wang family!"

Qian glared at Wang indignantly, and then poured out some chicken bones from the sackcloth pocket in his hand.

Qian Shi was not idle at all this afternoon, she thought back and forth for a long time, and found that only Wang was the most suspicious, thinking that the unfounded accusation against her Wang would not admit it, so she quietly slipped to Wang's house.

Perhaps Wang felt that he had done it seamlessly, without any concealment at all, but when Qian went there, he found that she was pouring the finished chicken bones into the yard, and immediately grabbed it.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Wang's dead duck has a hard mouth, "This chicken was obviously bought by me on the street yesterday, how did it become stolen?" ”

"You mother-in-law don't slander me!"

"Slander?"

Qian sneered, "How do I remember that yesterday you didn't even cook the melon seeds at home for an afternoon, and you provoked your family to come back and quarrel with you, and everyone knew about it." ”

"You don't think you've forgotten this, do you?"

Wang's laziness is well-known throughout the village, so Blacksmith Wang quarrels with her a lot on weekdays, and now he lives directly in the blacksmith shop and rarely returns home.

"So what?!"

Wang's eyes widened, and she took out her sprinkling energy again, "Can't I remember wrong!" ”

"This is the chicken I bought at the market a few days ago, and I killed it if I wanted to eat it today."

Wang clasped his hands in front of his chest, looking like he could bear me.

"You are so unreasonable! This is clearly the chicken you stole from Xiaoshuang's house today! "The Qian family is very angry, but when it comes to sprinkling and playing tricks, she is indeed not the opponent of the Wang family.

"Lieutenant, you give a review."

Qian turned his gaze to the chief on the side, "Xiaoshuang is kind enough to do the work for this woman, this woman doesn't know how to be grateful, and she even steals things!" ”

"What a shame!"

"Who do you say stole something?! I didn't steal it! ”

"You stole it, you wretch! Shameless for chicken thieves! ”

"You damn woman, see if I don't tear your mouth apart!"

Seeing that the Wang clan pounced towards the Qian clan, Yun Xiaoshuang quietly stretched out her feet, and the Wang clan fell into the mud at once.

"Wang, your mouth is very good, but this look is not very good." Yun Xiaoshuang looked at her with a smile, "You can't see such a big piece of bluestone on the ground?" ”

"You!"

Where did the green stone come from on this ground, but the Wang family always had some scruples about Yun Xiaoshuang in his heart, so he naturally didn't dare to directly confront her.

"It's easy to know if you stole this chicken from my house."

"Miss Xiaoshuang, is it possible that you have any way?" Hearing this, Li Chang's eyes lit up suddenly, and he was really ground up by the Wang family and the Qian family along the way.

However, when Wang heard Yun Xiaoshuang's words, he suddenly began to be stunned, and his face began to become unnatural.

"To tell you the truth, the reason why I buy so many chickens is actually to make a condiment." Yun Xiaoshuang glanced at the Wang family, and did not sell Guanzi.

"This condiment has very high requirements for the quality of the chicken, and the chicken is cooked and then dried to get chicken powder."

"However, because the chicken itself contains a lot of moisture, the temperature requirements for drying are extremely demanding."

Yun Xiaoshuang clasped her hands in front of her chest and deliberately explained the process carefully, and everyone listened carefully.

"If the temperature is too high, the flavor of the chicken powder will be lost, and if the temperature is too low, it will not be able to fully bring out the flavor, so in order to minimize the moisture in the chicken, I added laxatives to the chicken's food as soon as it was delivered back today......

Yun Xiaoshuang said as she turned her head to look at the Wang family, who was obviously a little panicked now.

"So Wang, if you really stole this chicken from my house, you should already feel sick to your stomach by now, right?"

Hearing this, Wang's face suddenly changed greatly, and his hand subconsciously covered his stomach, as if he was really starting to feel a faint pain.

When everyone saw her reaction, it was unnatural to see who was who.

"Ouch, my belly!"

Wang suddenly clutched his stomach and began to run in the direction of the latrine, apparently the laxative began to work.

Seeing this, Yun Xiaoshuang couldn't help but sneer, her things were not so easy to take.

Now that the evidence is conclusive, even if the Wang family wants to repay the debt, they have no excuse, and there is a long man, so they have to obediently apologize to Yun Xiaoshuang and compensate according to the Qian family's request.

Now Wang's reputation in Yungou Village is completely stinky, and when Blacksmith Wang heard about this, he simply went home and moved all his things to the blacksmith shop, completely drawing a line with her.

The next day, Yun Xiaoshuang sent the finished chicken powder to Zuixian Building, and sent the remaining bit to the shopkeeper Song, who immediately smiled after tasting the effect of the chicken powder.

"Miss Xiaoshuang, don't worry, as long as you promote it well, this chicken powder will definitely sell out soon."

"It doesn't have to be." Yun Xiaoshuang waved her hand and refused, "The process of making this chicken powder is extremely difficult, and there is an agreement between me and Zuixianlou, so I don't want to sell it in large quantities." ”

Hearing this, the shopkeeper Song immediately felt quite regretful, but there is no harm in a small amount, after all, scarcity is expensive, and this chicken powder can be sold at a high price if it is less.

Today's trip Yun Xiaoshuang has received several hundred taels of silver, deducting the cost of buying chickens and labor yesterday, there are still six or seven hundred taels of silver left.

It is inevitably a little inconvenient to put so much cash on her body for a long time, so Yun Xiaoshuang simply went to the money bank in the city to open an account, so that it will be much more convenient to withdraw money in the future.

Since the Zuixian Mansion has chicken powder, the taste of its dishes can be said to be far better than before, and the daily guests are endless, and the other restaurants in the city suddenly seem much more deserted compared to it.

Especially Fengxian Building, which has always regarded Drunken Immortal Building as its opponent, has been even more bleak and pitiful during this time.

"Do you mean that Zuixianlou added a special condiment to the dishes, which is why the dishes taste so good?"

Lin Yu is the shopkeeper of Fengxian Building, since the business of Zuixian Mansion is getting better and better, he began to send people to start an investigation, and now there is a result.

"The shopkeeper, this is it."

A man dressed as a small servant handed Lin Yu a small ceramic jar, which was the batch of chicken powder that Yun Xiaoshuang had handed over to Shopkeeper Song before.

"This thing is called chicken powder, and as long as it is added to the dish, it can maximize the umami of the dish."

Hearing this, Lin Yu immediately twisted some powder with his fingers and put it in his mouth, and an extremely fresh taste suddenly spread in his mouth.

"Where can I buy this chicken powder?" Lin Yu said with a look of surprise.

However, the little guy shook his head, he specially asked the shopkeeper Song when he bought this chicken powder, and people didn't make and sell it in large quantities at all.

"I heard the shopkeeper of the dry goods store say that it is because the person who makes the chicken powder has an agreement with Zuixianlou, so he will not sell this chicken powder in large quantities."

Seeing that Lin Yu was about to get angry again because of this, the little guy hurriedly said, "But I've already found out who made this chicken powder." ”

Hearing the little guy say this, Lin Yu's face finally looked better.

"Then who made this chicken powder?"

"It is said that the person's name is Yun Xiaoshuang and he lives in Yungou Village."

Yun Xiaoshuang?

Lin Yu silently read the name, a dark glint flashed in his eyes, and he immediately began to think about it in his heart.

This Fengxian Mansion is his own hard work for many years, he doesn't want to let Fengxian Mansion be destroyed in his hands because of such a trivial matter, and he suddenly thinks about Yun Xiaoshuang's chicken powder.

Lin Yu sent someone to inquire about Yun Xiaoshuang's family background, and finally landed on the idle Yun Dahai, and Yun Dahai agreed as soon as he heard that he had money to take and could find Yun Xiaoshuang unhappy.

Lin Yu promised to give Yun Dahai fifty taels of silver as a reward, pay ten taels of silver as a deposit first, and then give him the remaining forty taels after getting the chicken powder formula.

Since then, Yun Dahai has started to wander around Zhao's house every day, but as soon as he appears near Zhao's house, he will be blasted away by Zhao's second aunt with a broom, and he hasn't even seen Yun Xiaoshuang's face for several days, let alone any chicken powder.

Fengxian Lou's urging became tighter and tighter, and Yun Dahai suddenly began to be impatient, and in a hurry, he suddenly met the Wang family on the road.
