"Salt." Wen Mingtang's answer was concise and to the point, and he took advantage of the time to reply and broke off a piece of dry salt roasted on the surface of the pork skin, and turned his head to look at the person behind him - Liu Yuan, Bai Zhu, and Lin Fei were each holding a few files in their hands and looked in from outside the door.

Seeing this, Wen Mingtang couldn't help but scold: No wonder there was no sound of footsteps, it turned out that people hadn't come in yet. But although the person did not come in, the eyes were very pointed, and at a glance I could see the salt she had spread on the surface of the skin of the porpoise.

Seeing her look back, the three of them walked into the kitchen and walked straight to her.

After Wen Mingtang knocked off the salt that dried the surface of the pork skin into pieces, and brushed a layer of rice vinegar on the surface of the half-charred pork skin, Liu Yuan subconsciously swallowed his saliva when he smelled the fragrance in the air, and asked Wen Mingtang: "What is the name of this snack?" It's so hard-working, but it's delicious! ”

Wen Mingtang brushed the rice vinegar intently and said, "Crispy grilled pork belly." ”

As for where the crispy is...... Wen Mingtang brushed the pork skin and re-sent the half-baked pork belly into the "oven" before sitting down again, picking up the unfinished notebook at hand, feeling the temperature from the fire, and saying, "Just wait for about half an hour." ”

That's a lot of work! I heard those servants say that soon after lunch, I saw Master Wen making this snack, and he did it until midnight.

But...... If it's good in the middle of the night, there will be no one else to grab a snack! Liu Yuan gathered the stack of files he was holding in his hand, spoke, sighed meaningfully, and said, "It seems that staying up late to make eucalyptus is not all good. ”

Wen Mingtang, who was flipping through the script, suddenly suddenly said: "No wonder Liu Sicheng asked me when the pork belly would be ready before leaving, but it turned out that he had hit the idea on this piece of pork meat early in the morning." ”

You know, she was lying in bed early at this time and reading the book and preparing to rest, but she wouldn't roast pork belly in the public kitchen, and the public chef at this time was unmanned in the past.

Today, these people made a special trip to the public kitchen, obviously for the crispy pork belly.

Wen Mingtang glanced at a few people, shook his head, glanced at the pork belly that was being grilled in the "oven", and said, "Wait a little longer, you have to take the fat part of the pork meat to almost get rid of the oil!" ”

Smelling the rich aroma of roast pork in the air, Liu Yuan patted his thigh and immediately said, "Wait, wait!" Patience is the most lacking in such things! ”

While he was talking, Lin Fei had already found Zhang Abing and Tang Yuan to choose vegetables to sit on and walked to Wen Mingtang's side and put it down, and after sitting down, he opened the file in his hand and looked at it.

The warmth and light coming from the hearth are really suitable, and I am looking through the dossier and the same book in front of me.

Looking at Wen Mingtang and Lin Fei, who had "snatched" the best two seats, Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu had no choice but to find two more small tables and found a seat nearby to sit down, and the group sat "around the hearth", while flipping through the file in their hands, while discussing today's eucalyptus.

"Although the butcher Hu Siming is not a native of Chang'an, he has been in Chang'an for 20 years. The appearance is a little fierce, and the child is about to cry when he sees it, but whether it is from the government or the neighbors, he has never asked about what he has done. Bai Zhu said, "There is no record from the government, and the neighbors also say that he has not done anything evil." ”

But just because you haven't done evil before doesn't mean you won't do evil.

Although he has not done anything evil, Hu Siming is a loner and has not become a biological child. After the death of Hu's father and mother in the early years, Hu Siming has been living alone, not doing evil, but he has no friends. If you don't do evil or good, you're just an ordinary people. Bai Zhu said.

After checking Hu Siming, this Hu Siming's situation is so simple that it is clear at a glance: no friends and no enemies.

So...... The likelihood of a blame is extremely low.

"Otherwise, it's bad luck, and I didn't look closely at the swill bucket and used it if there was anything else." Liu Yuan continued, "No corpse remains were found in the swill bucket next to him, only in his swill bucket. ”

In this regard, Bai Zhu shook his head and said, "The corpse pieces are not piled up at the bottom of the swill bucket, but mixed in the pile of discarded turbidity, it is unlikely that it is bad luck." The bucket of swill with the remains of the corpse was chosen, and it was more likely to have been thrown in during the slaughter in the morning. ”

In that case...... The swill bucket was placed there, and in the morning, there were many pedestrians, although Hu Siming was the most suspicious, but he may not be the only one who could do this.

"As long as you are fast, you can do it, such as pickpockets," Liu Yuan said here, paused, and added, "And the butcher!" ”

Peers are jealous, Hu Siming's slaughtering stall business is the best, if the butchers of his peers are jealous, it may not be impossible to do so.

But no matter how jealous you are, it is possible to make small means that are not on the table, in order to make a stumbling block for the business of your peers, is it possible to deliberately kill someone to frame a false accusation?

Liu Yuan shook his head and said, "I don't think it's possible!" He said, "Hu Siming's business was most affected by the discovery of human bodies in the swill buckets, but the business of those butchers has also been reduced a lot." ”

When they left, there were hardly any people in front of the slaughtering stall next to them. After all, the kitchen knife has become a "murder knife", which one is not panicked and dares to approach?

"It is possible to privately change poultry and livestock, replace the slaughtered big chickens and ducks with small ones, and replace the fresh ones with the ones that are not fresh, and there will be no such thing as killing people." Bai Zhuying reconciled Liu Yuan's words, paused, and said, "I just went to see Wu Bucai, Wu Bucai said that the murderer was extremely sharp, and the appearance of the corpse cutting was very sophisticated, even the murderers who are accustomed to killing people and overselling goods are rarely so familiar with the direction of human bones." ”

Speaking of this, Bai Zhu stopped, and said to Wen Mingtang, who was originally reading the book but suddenly raised his head when he heard this, and said, "Master Wen, this eucalyptus is really terrifying, I can't wait." ”

said that Eucalyptus was too fascinated by what he said, but he forgot that Master Wen was also present here.

Wen Mingtang shook his head when he heard this, and after saying "It's okay", he said: "So if the murderer is not the one who is extremely heinous and habitually divides the corpse, it is very likely that he is a person like the butcher who knows the direction of bones very well." ”

Seeing that Wen Mingtang was not only not afraid, but also took over the conversation, although Bai Zhu was a little surprised, he still nodded and said, "That's true." ”

Wen Mingtang raised his hand and looked at his hand, and said to the three people who looked at her, "That cook is also possible!" ”

Although the chef does not slaughter a mountain of poultry and livestock like a butcher in his daily life, due to the relationship between handling ingredients, some complex dishes such as three sets of duck are directly boneless, and naturally the bones are not inferior to the butcher.
