Chapter 40: He Sensed Something Wasn't Right!

Previous Chapter

Seeing this, Zhuang Shishi wanted to ask Xiao Han what was going on, but he waved his hand to interrupt, and then he picked up chopsticks and crushed the remaining pig blood one by one, and finally found that the whole plate of pig blood was bright red.

Xiao Han already had a plan in his heart when he saw this, but he still looked up at the anxious Zhuang Shishi, and thought about whether to meddle in this matter, after all, more things are better than less things.

Time passed minute by minute, although it was only a few minutes, but for him, it was a kind of torment.

In the end, he could only smile helplessly, then slowly stood up, and said: "Shopkeeper, I'm not scaring you, I trust my judgment, everything is to be seen is believing!" ”

The shopkeeper is a simple and lovely middle-aged man, he has short black hair, and when he first entered the store, Xiao Han saw that he always had a bright smile on his face, which is why they would come to this tavern to eat.

The shopkeeper thought for a while, then patted his chest and said, "Since you said so, guest officer, I, Wang, will give you a face, so that you can see what you can do?" ”

After that, the king's shopkeeper walked ahead and led the way.

He was slightly fat and walked a little slowly.

While he led the way, his mouth was still not idle.

Every morning, he personally goes to the market to select the freshest, highest-quality ingredients and daily necessities, and displays them neatly in the shop. Whether it is fresh vegetables, grains or daily necessities, Lao Wang will do his best to ensure their quality and reasonable price.

Xiao Han couldn't help frowning after hearing this, and questioned: "Since you are so serious and responsible, where did the plate of pig blood that was close to deterioration come from?" ”

"This ······ I can't say this clearly, I have strict control over other dishes! The shopkeeper said with a sad face.

Xiao Han didn't continue to dwell on this issue, and soon, Lao Wang pulled up the curtain of the kitchen and said, "This is our kitchen, you can go in and have a look!" ”

Xiao Han thanked the shopkeeper Wang, then said hello to the master who was cooking inside, and then strode in.

The kitchen is spacious, the décor is simple but functional. The walls are covered with all kinds of pots, cookware, and knives, gleaming. The marble countertops are neatly arranged with a variety of fresh ingredients, including brightly colored vegetables, freshly baked breads and meats.

There are several workstations in the kitchen, each with experienced and busy chefs busy cutting, stirring, and cooking food. They operate various instruments with agility and skill, and people can't help but marvel at their superb skills.

The cauldron is bubbling with a rich and enticing aroma, and the soup or meat is slowly simmered under the flame. The aroma and hissing sound coming from the pan indicate that the ingredients that have just been put in the pan are being fried.

The whole kitchen is filled with smoky, greasy and pungent aromas of seasonings, but that doesn't stop the chefs from focusing on their work. They work together to prepare and cook each dish efficiently.

Xiao Han cautiously looked at the faces of the chefs, and then looked down at some kitchen utensils and other things on the table, wanting to find a trace from their facial expressions or something unusual on the table.

The process was not satisfactory, he looked at almost every inch of the kitchen, and found nothing suspicious.

Xiao Han was not looking indiscriminately, but searching purposefully, he wanted to find something, but he never found any trace of it.

On the other side, Zhuang Shishi leisurely watched the chefs cook.

The chef is armed with a sharp kitchen knife and cuts fresh vegetables with concentration and agility. His hands dance nimbly like a dancer, and the chopping movements are smooth and precise. Every time he dropped the knife, there was a crisp sound between the kitchen knife and the cutting board, as if to show people his skill.

The various vegetables in his hands are delicately transformed into various forms in an instant. The shredded radish is distinctly fibrous, the carrot slices are paper-thin, and the onion rings are uniform and flawless. Every movement seems so natural and powerful.

Zhuang Shishi was fascinated, at this time she was like an apprentice, while communicating with a female chef about the method of cutting vegetables, while constantly gesturing with her hands in the air, which can be described as quite serious and focused.

However, at this moment, a piercing scream resounded throughout the kitchen!

As soon as Xiao Han heard it, he recognized that the voice came from Zhuang Shishi, and he was very puzzled in his heart, he didn't know that it was not good to disturb people like this.

So, he hurriedly ran towards the position where Zhuang Shishi was.

I was about to say something, but I saw that her ankles were red, obviously burned by something.

His eyes lit up, and he quickly looked around.

Soon, Xiao Han saw a charcoal-burning stove, which was placed on the ground, close to the cabinet.

Zhuang Shishi accidentally touched the hot stove and was scalded.

The wound was not very serious, Xiao Han blew a breath and quickly stood up, only then did he notice that the place he had ignored before was actually in this corner.

Immediately, he stepped over Zhuang Shishi, who was squatting on the ground, and walked forward.

Zhuang Shishi's eyes were red, she held back her tears, and said, "Why are you like this? ”

Xiao Han replied lightly: "Little injury, I'll help you pick some herbs to reduce the swelling when you go back!" ”

After saying that, he turned his head and saw a huge shelf.

The wooden racks are divided into three tiers, and each wooden rack has a charcoal stove.

He was overjoyed, and subconsciously touched the temperature of the stove, only to find that the outer wall of the furnace was cold.

As he spoke, he picked up another stove and placed it beside the table.

I saw that there were a few pieces of blackened charcoal in the furnace, and Xiao Han could easily pick out some debris with his hands, so as to conclude that the charcoal had been burned.

When the charcoal is not burned thoroughly, black charcoal will grow on the charcoal. In the absence of oxygen, part of the carbon cannot be completely oxidized, resulting in the formation of coke. These residues may adhere to the surface of the carbon or may be dispersed around the carbon.

Incomplete combustion of carbon produces carbon monoxide (CO) gas, which is colorless, odorless, and odorless. Carbon monoxide is a toxic gas that binds to hemoglobin and prevents the blood from carrying enough oxygen to the body's tissues when people inhale large amounts of carbon monoxide.

Xiao Han's eyes froze when he saw this, and he hurriedly checked the other charcoal stoves on the shelf, and sure enough, the stove was full of charcoal that was not completely burning.

Xiao Han muttered: "One furnace or two furnaces are fine, but so many furnaces are not trivial!" ”

There's something strange about it!
