Chapter 220: Fox Tail Exposed
Su Xinyan listened to what he wanted to know, and then followed those officials back to Kyoto.
Originally, she was preoccupied, and even when she returned to the house, she was a little absent-minded, but as soon as she stepped into the door, she smelled a special fragrance, and the spicy smell in the fragrance was simply tempting!
Su Xinyan was suddenly shocked, isn't this the spicy hot pot she has been thinking about for a long time?
She didn't have time to think about anything else, so she sniffled and ran over in search of the smell.
Ran straight to his own courtyard, only to see the source of the smell in the flowers in the courtyard, only to see a pile of flowers that bloom only in winter, and put a stone table on it very generously, the surrounding flowers are splendid, and the evergreen trees are also showing vitality, and the overall arrangement looks elegant and extreme.
However, it would be more convincing to ignore the food on the stone table.
It took a lot of effort for her to press back the jaw that had been shocked.
Eating hot pot in this environment, are these people here to be funny?
When Su Xinyan got closer, he saw that many maids and servants were busy coming and going, not only placing a lot of heating braziers around them, but also putting a lot of fresh vegetables on the wooden table, obviously buying those things that were needed according to Su Xinyan's instructions.
"How about it, let's live up to our mission!" There was the sound of footsteps behind him, Feng Zheng patted Su Xinyan's shoulder, and couldn't help but take a breath, "Don't say it, the soup made with your methods is really tempting!" ”
He had never heard of this method before, and after listening to Su Xinyan before, he almost laughed at the other party's violent waste of ingredients, but after looking for it, even the chef in the house was full of praise, and this kind of blending really had an unexpected effect.
"You're going to eat like this for a while?" Su Xinyan pointed to the maid who was still busy in front of her and asked.
It's just a meal, how can it be so grand.
"Of course, but the movements of these subordinates are too slow, and even the lanterns here have not been arranged, and it will be dark in a while, so I will urge them." Feng Zheng said with some dissatisfaction.
"Forget it, forget it......" Su Xinyan hurriedly grabbed him, "You better stop a little, I don't know, I think you want to hold a small banquet!" ”
Feng Zheng didn't care about this, he didn't think it was too grand, after all, for these people, they were never sloppy in terms of eating.
Removing the redundant arrangement, Su Xinyan originally planned to move all the things into the restaurant, but he couldn't bear Feng Zheng's insistence, so he could only retreat and let those subordinates move the things into the pavilion.
After arranging all this, she was busy beckoning her subordinates to invite Gu Fengjin over, and before the subordinates' backs disappeared, she had already asked the chef next to her to hand over the prepared sesame sauce, and she couldn't wait to take a handful of green leafy vegetables.
When she finally tasted the taste of her heart, she couldn't help but be moved to tears.
Eating the taste of home in another world couldn't be happier.
"How's it going, is it delicious? Let me taste it too......" Feng Zheng saw that the other party was just burying his head in hard work, and couldn't help but ask for ingredients and seasonings, the maid who was originally waiting next to him had already been waved away by him, and at this time he actually started directly.
As soon as he took a bite of the green vegetables, the spicy taste rushed straight to the top, Feng Zheng couldn't help but cough heavily twice, and turned to look at Su Xinyan with a flushed face.
"I didn't expect you to like such a heavy taste! It's so spicy! ”
Seeing this, the chef who had been waiting next to him hurriedly asked his subordinates to bring another small pot, which looked much lighter than the hot pot base with chili oil floating on the stone platform.
Feng Zheng looked at Su Xinyan with admiration while eating the pot in front of him.
"You can't enjoy it, of course the spicier the better!" Su Xinyan wiped the sweat dripping from his forehead with a handkerchief, and ate another piece of thinly sliced mutton and rolled it into his stomach, "Butler, take out the bottles of wine and distilled spirits I collect." ”
Listening to Su Xinyan's words, Feng Zheng's eyes lit up, and the smile on his face deepened a little, now this distilled liquor is sold at a high price in their circle, because the liquor is very small every time, ordinary people can't drink it if they want to.
Seeing that the butler led his subordinates to bring three large jars of distilled spirit, he couldn't help but show a violent expression on his face.
A small jar of wine worth a thousand gold on the outside was placed in a clay pot like this, and so many appeared at once! Su Xinyan doesn't drink alcohol, it's a waste to hoard so much wine!
Feng Zheng couldn't help but wail in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face at this time, completely worried that he would anger Su Xinyan and make him miss this delicious meal.
He suppressed the indignation in his heart, and scorned the person next to him who was eating a lot with his eyes.
When Gu Fengjin finished handling official duties and followed the little servant who led the way into the back garden, he saw such a messy scene, only to see Su Xinyan eating the rice in the bowl with a satisfied face, and from time to time he raised his head to let the maid who was waiting next to him wipe his sweat, while Feng Zheng next to him was stupidly holding a clay pot, taking a sip of it preciously, and then smiling and stunned, and then taking another sip......
Gu Fengjin couldn't help but be silent, how could he have the illusion that he wanted to throw these two people into the pool and sober up all night?
Su Xinyan saw him coming over, and hurriedly beckoned him to sit down, and very enthusiastically handed over a dish that he thought was the most delicious.
Gu Fengjin was fed a mouthful of chili peppers in a daze......
Seeing someone coughing violently again, Su Xinyan couldn't help but feel deeply lonely with chopsticks.
No one here can eat spicy, and this kind of taste of winning without a fight and not being able to fight spicy is really lonely.
"Actually, this kind of taste is good to get used to," Su Xinyan made a color to the little guy in the back, and waited until everything was neatly arranged in front of Gu Fengjin before saying, "You taste it quickly, you will find it delicious when you get used to it." ”
Gu Fengjin glanced at her, silently rejected her kindness, and joined Feng Zheng's reluctance to eat spicy food without the slightest hesitation.
This Su Xinyan is a pity.
But in general, this meal was enjoyed by the host and guests, and even Feng Zheng drank a little crookedly, almost losing his temper.
At this time, it was already an hour before dinner, but Su Xinyan was still walking on the stone path in the garden to eat, and she couldn't digest too much to eat.
Gu Fengjin was accompanying her by her side, but she still looked outstanding, not at all as down-to-earth as if she had just finished eating hot pot.
Seeing that it was getting late, he draped the big coat on Su Xinyan's body, "The night is heavy, let's go back to the room." ”
Su Xinyan nodded, and just took a few steps back when he suddenly patted his head, "Look at my memory, I originally planned to talk to you about the Chu family!" ”
The hot pot just now made her forget about it.
She originally planned to discuss with Gu Fengjin and find another time to explore the Chu Mansion at night.
However, with so many chili peppers in her stomach today, she is at the time of extreme fire, and it is perfect to visit the Chu family at night at this time.
"It's dark and windy tonight, Your Majesty will do bad things with me!" Su Xinyan was very eager to try.
Gu Fengjin was a little hesitant, "You have eaten so much today, I'm afraid it's not suitable to use light work." ”
"That's easy," Su Xinyan jumped directly behind him and let him carry himself, "It's good if you take me there." Don't hesitate any longer, go ahead, on the way I will tell you the information I got today, and I will not be able to sleep until this matter is resolved. ”
"Really? Why do I think you're sleeping pretty soundly? Gu Fengjin muttered, but didn't say anything more, so he carried Su Xinyan all the way to Chu Mansion.
As soon as the two of them jumped out of the wall, they were seen by Feng Zheng, who had drunk the decanting soup and came out to relieve himself.
After asking the attendants next to him, he knew that the two had gone to Chu Mansion.
Seeing that the two of them left themselves and went to investigate the case alone, he was so angry that he jumped to his feet, this kind of thing is not called him, it is simply too unrighteous!
Feng Zheng spun around in place like a headless fly, and then he made up his mind and jumped out of the wall following the path of the two people.
The scene of the Chu family at this time was similar to the situation of the last night detective, it was dark everywhere, and it was still extremely terrifying.
Su Xinyan had a heart this time, and he was next to Gu Fengjin, following him step by step, resolutely not giving something a chance to scare him.
As soon as she thought of this, she saw a man standing in the middle of the courtyard, dressed in white, with long hair and eyes fixed on them.
"Oh my god, when did she stand in front!" Su Xinyan was taken aback and hurriedly hid behind Gu Fengjin.
"What people!" Gu Fengjin protected her with one hand, pulled out the matching sword on his body with the other, and looked vigilantly at the woman who appeared out of thin air in front of her.
Without waiting for the man to speak, a burst of Ding Ling's voice suddenly came from behind Su Xinyan.
Feng Zheng screamed in pain, and at the same time ran to Su Xinyan's side extremely quickly, eager to hide himself.
Even if he was unlucky, he just poked his head out of the wall and saw such a strange scene, which frightened him to loosen the true qi in his body and fell directly from the wall.
"Why are you here!" Su Xinyan was distracted, and couldn't help but ask in annoyance.
She was already planning to retreat just now, but she didn't expect to be completely blocked by someone again.
Feng Zheng is simply a troublemaker, and the timing is just right every time he appears!
"How do I know if I saw such a scene as soon as I came, whether that person was a human or a ghost!" Feng Zheng poked his head out tremblingly.
"Of course it's a human," Gu Fengjin sneered, obviously not taking the person in front of him in his eyes, "Pretending to be a ghost, you are also bold." ”
