When it was close to noon, Wen Mingtang, Ah Bing, and Tang Yuan lifted the soup pot on the stove and put it on the bench. The soup pot is much deeper than the pot next to it, and if it is placed on the countertop, the master who divides the dishes and makes the soup is afraid that he will have to step on stilts to get his hands on it. It's just right to put it on a small footstool, and it's easy to get around.

The soup pot was placed, Wen Mingtang lifted the lid of the pot with his hand, and it was time for lunch: this big pot of fish ball soup is very hot, and it can disperse some heat in advance, so that when everyone in Dali Temple comes to eat lunch, this fish ball soup is hot, not hot.

As the lid of the pot was lifted, the heat that had gathered on the noodle dissipated, and the three people serving the soup instinctively glanced at the soup in the soup pot.

What I made today is the fish ball soup made from yesterday's fish head and leftover fish body. Deboning, de-stabbing, beating repeatedly and then stirring and battering, making fish balls can be said to be a very laborious task. Yesterday, I made this fish ball soup, which almost made Ah Bing, who was the most energetic in the past, a little relieved.

But fortunately, the fish balls are made, and I don't have to spend much effort to make lunch today.

This large pot of fish ball soup can be said to be an out-and-out meat soup, except for the little green onion that is decorated, the rest is fish. But the soup of such a large meat soup looks very clear, and Guy has been skimmed off the relationship with the oil flowers.

However, although the soup is clear, it tastes delicious. Tender white fish balls float on the soup noodles, and the middle is dotted with green onions, which can really be described as "clear and white", and it is very refreshing to look at.

Because they had prepared lunch in advance, they had a lot of morning food in the morning, and they were not hungry in their stomachs, so Wen Mingtang and the others did not eat before everyone ate lunch, but prepared to rest first, and waited until they were busy after lunchtime, and they were hungry, and then sat down and ate slowly.

There was still a tea hour until noon, and I could still play for a while, thinking about the snow I saw on the way to the ice cellar first, and the rice balls took three steps and two steps, and trotted out of the kitchen.

As soon as he came out of the kitchen, before he left the yard, he couldn't help but exclaim: "What a lot of snow!" ”

Isn't it? Wen Mingtang, who was following behind Tang Yuan, walked out, and after more than an hour's effort, the outside was already covered in silver, and a thick layer of snow had accumulated in the kitchen yard.

Looking at the scene in front of him, thinking of the situation when everyone in Dali Temple went out, Tang Yuan couldn't help but sigh again: "It's another Liu Sicheng they don't like, it's easy to cover up the heavy snow at the scene!" ”

"They didn't have anything to cover up the scene when they went out today," Ah Bing frowned at Tang Yuan and said busily, "Didn't the murderer already surrender himself?" ”

There is no objection to Liu Sanqing's murderer and Liu Sanqing's death, but ...... Looking at the white expanse in the Liu family's mansion, there was only a white patch on the ground full of rough stones when they came that day, and the carriage parked in the backyard was also covered with heavy snow, Liu Yuan sighed for no reason, and turned to Bai Zhudao: "It's been a few days!" ”

After a few days of hard work, Liu Sanqing's rough stones have been sold out, and there are really blood stains left on the car that originally transported the rough stones, so I am afraid that there will be nothing left.

"Lin Shaoqing?" Bai Zhu looked back at Lin Fei and said, "So ......"

"It doesn't matter." Glancing at the white open space in front of him, Lin Fei said, "I have something to ask Liu Sanqing's subordinates." ”

Su Rili's subordinates who followed Liu Sanqing also had a sad look on their faces at this time, because of Liu Sanqing's death, the stewards and guards who were very tight-tongued in the past were very cooperative and told the original matter.

"The master did lie first, and I waited for Chang'an, which actually arrived a few days earlier." The steward who was called for questioning said, "Since the trip went well, there was no delay on the way, and I came back early." The master asked me to wait and clean up the open space in the yard so that it would be easier to place the rough stones. ”

As far as the steward is concerned, a few days earlier and a few days later are not a big deal, Liu Sanqing explained in advance that he didn't want to cause trouble, so he didn't say anything.

This is especially true for the guards.

"The rough stones were piled up outside the city, and an abandoned barn was rented and stacked for a few days." The guard said, "It's not a precious thing, it's very bulky, who wouldn't want to steal it?" We were startled when someone broke in that day, but fortunately, the old man reminded us that day, saying that when we were waiting to transport the stones into the warehouse, many villagers were watching, and they might be curious to come and make trouble. If there is trouble, the expulsion is, and we will wait for the night, and this night is really not worth it in vain! ”

Of course, it wasn't the villagers who were curious to make trouble, but Shi Funian came to steal stones.

"I was chatting at the time, only to hear the sound of stones rolling, startled by the sound, and when I rushed over, I saw the stones on the mountain of stones that had been piled up rolling to the ground, and several stones were stained with blood, as if the thief who did not know whether he was a troublemaker or a thief was injured." The guard said, "The master said that since he saw blood, he should report it to the official!" I waited and went to Jingzhao Mansion, Jingzhao Mansion came over and checked, and saw that there was no less stone, and there was not much blood, and the thief thought that he was injured by a stone, and he was afraid that I would wait for the guards to catch him, so he ran away as soon as the sound of movement sounded. ”

When Lin Fei heard this, he nodded, and asked the guard, "What about after that?" Have you ever continued to be on duty all night? ”

This question was not surprising, but when the guard, who had been talking seriously, heard this, he obviously hesitated for a moment, and then shook his head and said, "No." ”

As for the reason, without waiting for Lin Fei to speak, the guard said it himself: "The master counted it, and saw that there were no fewer stones, so he said that the stones seemed to be big and bulky, even if there were thieves who wanted to steal, it was not easy to steal, but there was no need to bother too much, and asked me to wait until the warehouse was locked, and after checking whether the doors and windows of the warehouse were locked, he asked me to go back to the city first." Speaking of this, as if he was afraid that Lin Fei and the others would misunderstand, the guard hurriedly explained, "It's just to go home and rest for two days, and only come over to transport the stones when the steward has cleaned up and vacated the space." After all, this time I have been out for a few months, and I miss my family. ”

They only collect money to work, and since the lord is compassionate, he goes home after being grateful, and no longer insists. Stones are invulnerable, so what's there to worry about?

"What about the key to the warehouse?" Lin Fei asked the guards again, "After you left, who did you hand it over?" ”

"It's my lord." The guard said.

Lin Fei nodded, didn't ask about the warehouse again, and asked the guards again: "Your master went out to drink flower wine last night, didn't take you with him?" ”

】

As soon as these words came out, a trace of embarrassment flashed on the guard's face, but he still said to Lin Fei's serious expression: "This kind of thing...... How can it take us? ”

"What does it have to do with that? It's a big deal that you are not far away. Lin Fei said this, as if he hadn't seen everyone's embarrassed expressions, and continued to ask: "His family wealth is also rich, and this industry is deep, I am afraid that there is more than one enemy like Shi Funian, if you don't take you out, aren't you afraid of being sought revenge?" ”
