The one hundred and thirty-third episode of the diner Jia Yi
People take food as the sky, and there is no shortage of food holy places in various places, and Qibao County is certainly no exception.
There is a famous restaurant in Qibao County, called "Zuifeng Building", there are many chefs in the building, and the food is full of color and flavor, and it is famous in this area.
The top floor of the Drunken Wind Building is quite special, and guests who eat on this floor can not only look down and enjoy the surrounding scenery, but also see the whole process of the chef's cooking.
Inside, guests are seated on all sides, next to the walls, and in the middle is the undisguised kitchen, complete with stoves, stoves, ingredients, and more. Here, diners can watch the whole process of making the dishes.
The purpose of this is to arouse the cravings in the stomach of diners, help to whet the appetite of diners, and also allow diners to see how the dish is about to be made and eat with confidence.
This special way of eating attracts a lot of diners, and people come to eat on the top floor of Zuifeng Building every day.
Today's noon on the top floor of the Zuifeng Building was full as usual, and there were guests in each of the twelve tables on all sides. In contrast, the rest of the tables were more crowded, talking and laughing. There was only one person sitting at one table, and this person was a young man with a sharp sword, wearing a pale blue shirt and a sword hanging from his waist.
The young man is none other than Zhao Zheng, who has been looking for good food everywhere since he arrived in Qibao County. He is not a greedy foodie, and he is not looking for food just to eat, but to find someone.
This person's name is Jia Yi, and he is an old talent who writes well. And he is good at imitating other people's calligraphy. The copied works are almost realistic.
Miao Li in order to deceive Miao Shaobai. Over the years, he has relied on Jia Yi to imitate Zhuo Wenqing's handwriting and write letters to Miao Shaobai.
If you want to expose Miao Li's lies, you must find this Jia Yi and use him as a starting point.
Zhao Zheng didn't know where Jia Yi lived, but he knew Jia Yi's physical characteristics and hobbies.
Jia Yi is an old talent, not young, with a red rosacea nose, and his only hobby in life is to eat. It's better to lie down and add food" on the lips. He took advantage of the remuneration given to him by Miao Li and spent years haunting various restaurants and restaurants in Qibao County, feasting his appetite.
Knowing this information, it is easy to find Jia Yi, just by visiting those food holy places every day.
Today, Zhao Zheng came to this drunken wind building, it seems that he has come to the right place.
In the middle of the room, the chefs are busy making the famous dish "Braised Beef in a Can", where the chefs put beef cubes, potatoes, white radish balls, mushroom slices, red dates and other ingredients into a casserole and simmer over low heat. Wisps of white gas rise, emitting the aroma of beef. It's appetizing.
Zhao Zheng smelled the aroma and relished it in his mouth. Intra-abdominal hunger.
The pot of beef on the fire was undoubtedly tempting, but his eyes were not on the beef, but on the stove, staring at an old man with a rosacea nose. He had been observing this old man for a long time, and he felt that this person was very suspicious, and it was very likely that it was that Jia Yi.
Sake lees nose is talking to his friends at the same table about the food scriptures, and he talks about it very well, as if he knows more than those chefs.
After many cooking processes, the canned beef is finally ready. Fearing that the fumes would smoke the guests away, the kitchen on this floor was not built too big, and when it came to cooking, the amount of dishes would be increased, and one dish would be distributed among multiple tables at the same time.
This canned stewed beef is a famous dish of the town store, and it was made in 12 portions at one time and served to 12 tables respectively.
Zhao Zheng picked up a piece of beef and put it in his mouth, the fragrant juice spread out in his mouth, and when he bit it gently, the beef immediately rotted, and the taste and texture were good. He was so satisfied that he sandwiched several pieces of beef in a row, accompanied by fine wine, and tasted them beautifully.
The rosacea nose across from him was slow to eat, savoring each dish, and it took him a long time to finish the meal.
In order to keep track of the lees nose, Zhao Zheng also ate very slowly, deliberately delaying the time.
Rosacea was full of food and drink, and went downstairs with his friends with a full burp.
Zhao Zheng paid the bill and followed, he didn't follow too closely, but listened carefully to the footsteps of the rosacea. Since he arrived at the Four Heavens, all aspects of his body have improved significantly, and his hearing has improved a lot, enough to distinguish the sound of specific footsteps among the many chaotic sounds.
Rosacea didn't realize that he was being followed, and when he was halfway there, he said goodbye to his friends.
Zhao Zheng vaguely heard those people call this rosacea nose "Brother Jia", and his heart jumped, it seems that this person's nine achievements are Jia Yi. He quietly followed Jia Yi to Jia Yi's residence, which was very small, with only one courtyard and one house, located on a residential street.
It was inconvenient to sneak into Jia Yi's house during the day, so after he made a note of the location, he walked away as if nothing had happened. It was only in the evening that he came back in a night suit.
Under the cover of the night, Zhao Zheng jumped on the wall, tiptoed, and fell into the courtyard. The room was lit with bright lights, and the silhouette of a human figure was printed on the window lattice paper. He leaned over to the window and hid in the shadows, listening to the movements.
There seemed to be only one person in the room, and there was silence all the time.
Zhao Zheng listened for a while, and when he saw that the people in the house did not speak, he raised his head slightly, punctured the window lattice paper, and looked into the house. He saw Jia Yi's back, Jia Yi was lying on the table and writing, and he didn't know what he was writing.
It seems that what Jia Yi wants to write is a bit difficult, and every time he writes a few words, he will stop and think for a while, and then continue writing. In the middle of writing, he would dismiss the words because he was not satisfied with them, pick them up and crumple them, throw them into a paper basket, and write them again.
"Could it be that he is forging a letter to Miao Shaobai for Miao Li?" Zhao Zheng crossed this guess in his heart and narrowed his eyes slightly.
At that moment, there was a rush of horses' hooves from the street, as if someone was rushing this way. Zhao Zheng was alert, lowered his body, quickly retreated, and detoured from the wall of the front room to the back room. Not long after, the sound of horses' hooves stopped at the door, and someone dismounted and knocked on the door.
"It's so late. Who is it? Jia Yi in the room asked. Walked out with a candlestick.
"It's me. Open the door. The people outside the courtyard replied in a cold voice, with a high majesty in their voices.
When Jia Yi heard this voice, it was like a mouse hearing a cat's meow, he trembled three times in fright, quickened his pace to the door, and opened the courtyard door.
"Miao County Order, it turns out that you are here, please come in. Come in. Jia Yi lowered his voice and flattered.
Someone from outside the courtyard walked in, his robe covered and his hat covering his head and face. Under the illumination of candlelight, his iconic pair of "beggar eyebrows" were particularly eye-catching, and they turned out to be the local county magistrate Miao Li.
Jia Yi took the reins from Miao Li's hand, led the horse into the courtyard, and then closed the courtyard door.
"Jia Yi, how are those two letters written?" Miao Li asked with a stiff face.
"I'm doing my job, you can rest assured, everything is going very smoothly. I've figured out how to write these two letters. Jia Yi replied with a smile.
"Hmph, that's a nice thing to say. I have kept you all year round. Give you money to spend, but you can't even do such a small thing, and it takes so long to write two letters. In half a month, it will be the day to read the letter to Miao Shaobai, if you can't hand over the letter after the deadline, see how I clean you up! ”
"Don't worry, Lord County, I promise to deliver the work on time."
"You haven't written it for so long, are you lazy on weekdays?"
"The county magistrate has wronged me, it's not that I'm lazy, it's just that it's too difficult to imitate the tone of this mother and son. I'm like an acting actor, one person plays two roles, not only have to imitate the handwriting of these two people, but also have to consider what these two people will say to Miao Shaobai. I pretend to be a little daughter-in-law and an eldest son, how can it be so easy. Jia Yi vomited bitter water.
"If it's a simple matter, why should I look for you?" Miao Li glared at Jia Yi.
"This, this is also true."
"Let's go, take me to see the letter you wrote, I'm going to check it in advance." Miao Li flicked his sleeves.
"Come in, I'll show you right away. If you are hungry, I will cook a few more special dishes for you, my cooking skills are as good as writing, and you will be satisfied. Jia Yi hurriedly led the way and said earnestly.
"Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat, your broken mouth has eaten at least more than 3,000 taels of silver from me in the past few years." Miao Li glanced at Jia Yi.
"That's my hobby, if I don't eat something good, I won't be able to write well."
"If the two letters you wrote this year can fool Miao Shaobai, it's okay to say, if your letter is exposed, you can wait for prison food."
"The county magistrate laughed, I don't want to eat that kind of rice." Jia Yi swallowed in fright.
The two entered the house one after another, and Jia Yi presented Miao Li with the letter he wrote today, and the two chatted about it.
Zhao Zheng hid under the wall of the back room, put his ear against the wall, and listened to the conversation between the two clearly and without missing a word. He didn't expect Miao Li to come tonight, he was very surprised, he was more cautious, and he didn't even dare to breathe, for fear of alarming Miao Li.
Jia Yi disguised himself as Zhuo Wenqing and his son Miao Zhuang, and fabricated two letters, falsely claiming that everything was fine with the two mothers and sons, and what had happened in the past year. It's not easy to make up stories, and he's only halfway through them to this day.
Miao Li listened to Jia Yi's report and was generally satisfied.
"Miao Shaobai said that his son's handwriting was too sloppy, you tore up the letter and rewrote it, and the handwriting was slightly improved." Miao Li commanded.
"This is easy to do, I'll rewrite it as soon as you're gone." Jia Yi should admit it.
"He doesn't know that his son has died a long time ago, and he is still there all day long looking at his son Jackie Chan, it's really sad, this little wish, it's better to satisfy him, and it's good for me to make him happy." Miao Li rolled up his sleeves, "What you have written so far is not bad, and the rest of the part must be written well, remember to write it truthfully and credibly." I still have something to do at home, so I'm leaving. ”
"You go slowly, I'll send you." Jia Yi hurriedly said.
The two left the house together, and Jia Yi sent Miao Li away. After closing the courtyard door, the rosacea nose hummed a little song, and it seemed that he was in a good mood.
Zhao Zheng figured out the situation and locked on Jia Yi, and he had achieved his goal. He stayed for a while, and after feeling that Miao Li had walked away, he jumped out of the yard. He ran through the night, his brow furrowed, his face under the mask full of displeasure.
In his opinion, the person named Miao Shaobai is inevitably too pitiful, not to mention that his wife and children have been killed, and he has been deceived for so many years.
If Miao Shaobai knows the cruel truth, he really doesn't know what he will be angry, and it is even possible to go crazy directly, which is a problem. (To be continued.) )
