Chapter 90: Strange Things
In the kitchen of the Lee Mansion,
At this time, it was already afternoon, and the people were outside the kitchen, preparing the preliminary work of cooking.
This time, Li Huaiyun prepared more than ten dishes, and because it was a birthday, the whole house would sit down together.
Therefore, the amount is a bit larger, and you need to prepare in advance.
In the kitchen, except for Li Huaiyun, everyone else was preparing outside.
Li Huaiyun stood in front of the stove, glanced at the prepared items, and saw that nothing was missing, so he rolled up his sleeves and prepared to start making cream.
Fu Bo stood aside, looking at Li Huaiyun with a curious expression, he felt that this posture and preparation were not cooking vegetables at all, especially eggs, and milk! It's confusing,
After the young master came out of prison, his personality and behavior have always been strange, not at all like before.
He asked, "Young Master, what exactly are you going to do?" ”
"Shhhh Fauber, you can look at it with peace of mind, don't ask yet. ”
"Hmm!"
Li Huaiyun beat more than a dozen eggs into the bowl, then separated the egg whites inside, then picked up the chopsticks, and then stirred them quickly.
With the speed and strength of his hands, he quickly broke up the egg mixture, and a large layer of bubbles appeared, which he sprinkled with sugar and salt, and began to stir again until it was completely broken.
Fu Bo was stunned as he watched from the sidelines, not understanding what Li Huaiyun was going to do? He tried to ask several times, but he never saw the other party empty.
"Make a fire!" Li Huaiyun shouted loudly.
Fauber washed it briefly, then put the pot on the stove and began to burn wood.
After the pot was a little hot, Li Huaiyun poured the beaten egg liquid into the pot, and then used slender chopsticks to start stirring again.
"This fire is so big!"
"Okay, young master!"
After stirring for a while, he poured the milk that Fu Bo had worked so hard to get into the pot, stirring while pouring, and after waiting for a while, he picked up the chopsticks again and began to stir in the pot again until the inside began to foam.
"This heat is not bad!" Li Huaiyun praised, scooped up the freshly made cream in the pot, and put it on the big bowl.
He then adds egg yolks to the flour, kneads them, ferments them, puts them in square containers, and bakes them.
Due to the firewood, this heat control is a bit difficult, and after many attempts, it is finally barely done.
Fu Bo looked at the sticky white stuff and the cake, and asked curiously, "Young Master, what are you making?" ”
"Cream and cake!"
"What are these two things?"
Li Huaiyun got a spoonful and gave it to Fu Bo, "You taste this cream first!" ”
Fu Bo looked at the contents of the spoon, and was a little resistant at first, this kind of cooking method is very difficult to eat, but Li Huaiyun asked him to taste it, and it was not easy to refuse, so he took the spoon, put it in his mouth, and licked it gently.
Just a slight lick made him feel the sweetness echo in his mouth, and then put the spoon in his mouth, and he didn't expect that the thing called cream melted in his mouth, and the taste was quite good.
Fu Bo was quite surprised by this, so he asked, "Childe, where did you learn this?" This stuff tastes great! ”
"It's not just delicious!" Li Huaiyun looked proud and made some cake for Fu Bo.
This fluffy cake also surprised Fauber, "Where did Childe learn how to make it?" ”
"I can't say that!" Li Huaiyun instructed Fu Bo to find two blank pieces of paper.
He took the white paper, rolled it into the shape of a funnel, put the cream inside, and began to slowly squeeze the cream onto the cake, and then used his knife to rest on it for a while.
"Fauber, prepare me another candle to use at dinner."
"Okay!" Fauber responded.
"After finding someone, tell the others that I have gathered in the courtyard, and I have to arrange some other things."
"Okay! Childe, I'm looking forward to your birthday celebration. ”
Li Huaiyun loaded the cake into a large bowl and covered it with another bowl to make sure nothing fell inside.
This gift was naturally placed in my aunt's house, and it was not appropriate to hand it over to my aunt directly outside.
Li Huaiyun took a moment to prepare other things, and it was almost time for the sun to go down.
The nutritious soup that Fu Bo made for Hongyun was also ready, and Li Huaiyun heard that a lot of nutritional products were added, such as ginseng and deer antlers.
Now that everything is ready, Li Huaiyun has also arranged the next person, and he will wait for his aunt to come back in the evening.
Li Huaiyun asked Fu Bo to keep an eye on him, as long as Hongyun came back, he would immediately inform him, and now he wanted to go back to his house, ready to let Narcissus give him a good shoulder to relieve the soreness after being busy.
Just as he was about to leave the courtyard, he heard someone running to him, saying that someone was coming outside the door and wanted to see him.
Li Huaiyun pinched his chin, catch fast? Could it be Liu Zhutou! Oh! Maybe they've found the killer! For this reason, he immediately had the spirit and strode towards the door of the mansion.
As soon as he stepped out of the door, he saw Liu Zhutou, with the other three catchers, standing aside, the look on Liu Zhutou's face was quite solemn, his saber was erected on the ground, and his hands pressed the handle of the knife.
The other catchers were whispering, his eyes half-closed, as if he was thinking about something.
Li Huaiyun walked up, and when he got closer, he found that Liu Zhutou's clothes were a little torn, and there were some slight scars on his face, so he obviously had fought with someone, he looked Liu Zhutou up and down, "What's wrong!" Why does Brother Liu look like this? ”
Liu Zhutou saw Li Huaiyun, the original gloom on his face dissipated a lot, and he hurriedly put away the knife, "Brother! I really want your help this time! ”
"What's the situation?"
"Didn't you find two bodies outside the city gates?"
"Hmmm! In our meticulous search, the suspect has finally been locked! ”
"Is it the King's guard?"
Liu Zhutou looked around, and then nodded vigorously, "Brother, it's true, but something happened after that, something even more unbelievable." ”
"What?"
"Those two bodies actually ran away in the middle of the night! At that time, I was on my vigil, and I found out, but I didn't expect that I couldn't beat two corpses, and I was accidentally injured. ”
When Li Huaiyun heard this, he was immediately a little stunned, "What's the matter, the corpse actually ran away, and you injured Brother Liu?" ”
"It's unheard of! Have you found the body that escaped? ”
Liu Zhutou shook his head helplessly, "No, now we also want to know the news of how those two corpses escaped!" ”
Yes! Li Huaiyun pinched his forehead, thinking that this matter would be a big problem! "You notified the prefectural order?"
Liu Zhutou shook his head again, "No! However, the prefectural order should know, and we just want to recover the two bodies as soon as possible. ”
He said with a sincere attitude, "So, I came here as soon as possible, just hoping that you, brother, can help us find the body!" ”
"This is troublesome," Li Huaiyun fell into deep thought, this thing has never been encountered, how could there be a dead person, running away directly from the mortuary, this is too puzzling.
"Will it be okay tomorrow?" He asked, after all, he still had to celebrate his aunt's birthday in the evening, and if he went there now, he didn't know when he would be back.
Liu Zhutou looked panicked, logically speaking, there was no problem, but he didn't want to drag it out, so finding the two corpses as soon as possible and figuring out what was going on was the best way.
And he doesn't have to face being deducted and fined, "Brother! The situation is urgent, and I hope you can help as soon as possible, after all, for the sake of the stability of Kyoto, the most important thing is to find the two bodies in time. ”
Li Huaiyun lowered his head and pondered, a little hesitant, but at the last moment, he also decided to go to the yamen with Liu Zhutou, in case there was really any monster to do it, he would subdue as soon as possible to avoid more victims.
"Liu Zhutou is here for a while, I'll go in and explain some words, and then go to the yamen!"
"Okay! Thank you brother for helping! Liu Zhutou immediately clasped his fists and saluted, and he felt that the pressure in his heart suddenly decreased a lot.
Li Huaiyun returned to the hall, and then explained some things to Fu Bo, and prepared to go to the yamen.
"Young Master!" Fauber stopped him, "Can you come back on time this time?" ”
"I can promise to come back safely, but if it's on time, I don't know! If it goes well, you should be able to come back early. ”
After hearing this, Fu Bo nodded slightly, "Then young master, you must come back as soon as possible, we have no experience in getting this thing of yours!" Don't know what to do! ”
"Okay! I will! ”
Li Huaiyun walked out of the gate and followed Liu Zhutou to the yamen.
"Brother Liu! What exactly did you find out about the circumstances of this case? ”
Liu Zhutou, who was next to him, pursed his lips and took a deep breath, "We asked the guards who went out of the city, as well as the people who were nearby at that time, and they all said that they saw a group of people, outside the city gate, and stopped the father and daughter. ”
"Subsequently, they didn't see anything, and we searched the scene for a long time, and finally found a piece of evidence,"
"What evidence?"
"There is a rope near the father and daughter hanging, and it can be seen from the material and texture of the rope that it is a first-class product!"
Li Huaiyun frowned, "You mean, the origin of this rope is not ordinary, and it is very likely to be from the palace?" ”
"According to our investigation, it is indeed what is going on, there is a group of troops in the hands of this king, and the token is tied with this rope."
"I guessed right, it's the same people!" Li Huaiyun's face was angry, the stall owner's words were right, he left a little late.
"This guard of the king is so bold and dares to kill people at the feet of the Son of Heaven, do you think that no one dares to arrest them!"
"Probably yes!"
"This case is also ordinary, how could someone suddenly attack this father and daughter? This is a bit too strange, and the two corpses left directly, which makes it even more incredible! ”
Li Huaiyun shook his head, these things revealed weirdness, and people couldn't help but feel a chill in their backs.
He followed Liu Zhutou into the yamen, and met the county order in the corridor in front of him.
Unexpectedly, seeing Li Huaiyun, he subconsciously took a step back, and then covered his face with his hand, and seeing that face reminded him of the painful experience of being slapped in the face.
"Liu catches the head! Why did you bring this man here? I forgot who this guy is! ”
"I know very well!" He said loudly.
