Chapter 16 Medicinal Diet
Gan Jing saw Ling Xiao coming down from the stairs, his face was calm, as if he had expected it, and said, "People are asleep? ”
"Hmm!" Ling Xiao nodded lightly and glanced at the lobby, it was already lunch time at this time, and there were no outsiders in the pharmacy, Ling Xiao sighed and said, "I did a massage, and the person has fallen asleep." This girl is really not easy! ”
"And what happened last night?" Gan Jing frowned slightly, and there was a hint of worry between his eyebrows.
"It's fine." Ling Xiao walked up to Gan Jing's side, pressed her brows, and said softly: "There were so many people involved last night, someone will inevitably leak the news, the gang will not come to trouble because of this, Beckett came over today to have other things." ”
"What's the matter?" Gan Jing subconsciously asked, but she quickly reacted and asked softly, "Is it her mother's business?" ”
In addition to cultivation, Ling Xiao rarely hides anything from Gan Jing, although the two of them have not officially had a relationship now, but their feelings for each other are very deep, and they are a little less nominal than husband and wife.
"Hmm!" Ling Xiao nodded slightly, and said in a low voice: "Beckett found out that the person who killed her mother in the first place was probably someone from the Nissin Society. ”
"Japanese?" Gan Jing frowned, but she still nodded, and said: "The incident back then was indeed very similar to the handiwork of the Japanese, the Americans did not do things so cleanly, almost all the relevant characters were killed, and the methods were very similar." ”
Ling Xiao shrugged his shoulders and said, "Beckett asked me to help find out, who is there in the Nissin Society who has such a killing method?" ”
"Good luck then." Gan Jing shook his head with a wry smile, looked at Ling Xiao and said: "With the means of the Nissin Society, the murder involving that kind of thing has either been killed or has been sent back to the Japanese mainland, what useful clues can you find, then it is a hell." ”
"Hmm!" Hearing Gan Jing say this, Ling Xiao couldn't help frowning, this possibility is very high, and even the biggest possibility is that the person has been killed, even if Ling Xiao can find the relevant file clues, I'm afraid it will be a dead end.
"Anyway, we have to go to Qin Ming and ask them about this matter." Ling Xiao couldn't help but sigh, to be honest, he didn't have much hope for himself. Glancing at Gan Jing, Ling Xiao said softly: "You watch in front, I'll go prepare lunch, and bring Beckett a medicinal meal by the way." ”
Ling Xiao explained a few more words to Gan Jing, and then returned to the second floor and prepared Beckett's medicinal food.
He took out 1 pear, 50 grams of soybeans, half a pig's knuckle from the refrigerator, cut 3 slices of ginger, first removed the peculiar smell of the pig's knuckle with water, and cut it into small pieces; Then add the pitted and diced pear, soybeans and a piece of ginger, add enough water and bring to a boil. After maintaining the high heat and continuing to boil for 15 minutes, turn to low heat and simmer for another 1 hour, and then add salt to taste according to personal taste, and a simple medicinal soup is ready.
Ling Xiao's cooking skills are average, but because of his monk background, his knife skills are good, coupled with his fine mastery of heat and taste, this medicinal diet is still very good, but it is not so good-looking in appearance.
When boiling the pork knuckle soup with soybeans and pears, Ling Xiao made a mapo tofu and a braised eggplant, slapped a cucumber, and added a pot of rice, and when the soup was ready, lunch was all ready.
When Ling Xiao came out of the kitchen, he saw Kate Beckett, who had woken up at some point, sitting there and chatting with Gan Jing. Kate Beckett, who has done youth maintenance, looks much better after sleeping for an hour, her skin is smoother and firmer, and her whole person is like a new look.
Ling Xiao hurriedly walked a few steps, walked to the medicine hall in front of him, and asked with a smile, "What are you talking about?" ”
Seeing Ling Xiao walking behind Gan Jing with a nervous face, Beckett's eyes couldn't help but darken, but this emotion was quickly suppressed by her.
There was no abnormality on her face, and Kate Beckett said to Ling Xiao with a smile: "Why, are you afraid that I will bully your family Ganjing, or are you afraid that I will say something from her that I shouldn't say." ”
When it comes to interrogation skills, how can our family Gan Jing be your opponent, Ling Xiao pursed his lips slightly, and looked at Gan Jing with some nervousness.
Gan Jing smiled lightly, feeling Ling Xiao's concern, her heart was a little warm, she patted Ling Xiao's hand on her shoulder, and whispered: "It's nothing, Sister Catherine is just talking to me about some things like clothes and shoes, you are thinking a little too much." ”
Sister, your age is half a year older, okay! Ling Xiao couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart, but from the outside, Beckett did look more mature than Gan Jing.
Looking at Beckett, who was unresponsive, Ling Xiao sighed in his heart, poor girl, where do you know these intrigues in the East. Ling Xiao smiled lightly on his face, and said with a slight dissatisfaction: "I didn't say anything, how do you know that I think too much." Okay, it's ready to open, Gan Jing, you can help me get the food on the table. Come on, Catherine, don't sit here, there's no one at this time,"
Of course, it is impossible for the dining room to be placed in the pharmacy on the first floor, and the Americans are very tight on these details, if people really see them eating in the pharmacy, the government department will impose a fine, and once a lawsuit is caused in the future, this kind of thing will immediately become a lever for people to attack.
Even if you only do it once, it will become what you do every day in the mouth of other lawyers.
Ling Xiao walked to the door, closed the door, and turned the "open" sign hanging on the door directly over, and it became "temporarily closed".
Returning to the second floor, Ling Xiao looked at the living room, where Kate Beckett was already sitting upright, holding a fork and spoon in her hand, looking at a few dishes on the table, not knowing which one to eat.
Ling Xiao took a bowl of soybean and pear pig's feet soup brought out by Gan Jing from the kitchen, handed it to Beckett's side, and said to her with a smile: "This bowl of soup is called soybean and pear pig's feet soup. Drinking this pear and soybean pork knuckle soup has obvious effects on smoothing the skin, relieving sound and sand, dry mouth, and can also remove fire and lower blood pressure. Kate, you've been too busy at work lately, and you've not had enough sleep, if you keep doing this, and if you don't make up for it, you're likely to age early. ”
As a policewoman, Kate Beckett certainly knows what Ling Xiao is talking about, and now she is much better, in the first two years, she patrolled the streets almost every day, exposed to the wind and sun, and at that time she couldn't see the appearance of the first police flower of the Los Angeles Police Department.
When it comes to beauty, almost all women are very nervous, and for the advice of a beauty expert, even if Beckett has a lot of pressure on him, no matter how busy he is at work, there is still time to eat a bowl of rice.
So as soon as Ling Xiao finished speaking, Kate Beckett picked up the spoon and drank it in a big gulp of Sydney soybean pork knuckle soup.
Ling Xiao smiled and said to Beckett: "You don't have to worry, I have prepared a few lists of medicinal meals for you here, you go back and have time to try to make it yourself, as long as you can persevere, I promise that when you reach the age of forty, you will look the same as the age of twenty." ”
"Really!" Although Ling Xiao said it very beautifully, Beckett still had a trace of skepticism about his last sentence. However, for the list of medicinal diets handed over by Ling Xiao, she did not follow it directly, but said a little embarrassedly: "I'm afraid I don't have that time." ”
As a detective in the Crime Squad, it's normal to work late into the night, and Catherine has her own things to do.
But the lack of time is only one of the reasons, the bigger problem is that poor Catherine doesn't know how to cook at all.
