Chapter 39: A Big Bowl of Beef Noodles

Ye Caitang never expected that Aunt Lin, who had never been out of the door a few times in her life and had never seen an official, would still know how to give gifts so well.

"Go ahead." Aunt Lin carefully put a pair of chopsticks and a spoon on the tray, and wiped it clean.

"Aunt Lin." Ye Caitang turned sideways and whispered in her ear: "I'm a newcomer, it's not good to be a sycophant like this." If you look at it, will you look down on me? ”

"What do you say?" Aunt Lin's face turned pale: "How can this be called sycophancy, this is called Zhi'en Tubao." ”

Ye Caitang saw that Aunt Lin was always sad because of Lin Ling's affairs these days, so he wanted to tease her, and when he saw her face, he immediately obeyed: "Okay, good, I know how to report it, I will report it." ”

Don't underestimate a big bowl of noodles and two dishes of side dishes, it's quite heavy, Ye Caitang walked out cautiously.

As soon as I walked to the door, I listened to Aunt Lin and Liu Shala's homely routine.

"Lord Liu." Aunt Lin added a poached egg to Liu Sha.

Liu Sha hurriedly said: "Aunt Lin is polite, just call me Xiao Liu." ”

Aunt Lin smiled and said kindly: "Xiao Liu, have you got married?" ”

Ye Caitang walked away and didn't hear the words behind, but she had an ominous premonition.

Xia Yue lived in a single house and a courtyard, Ye Caitang went in when he first came, and saw his lifelong enemy there, an IOU of fifty taels of silver, so he knew which one was his bedroom.

The courtyard door was open, and Xia Yue didn't rest so early, Ye Caitang went in with a tray, and saw that the bedroom was dark, but the study was lit.

Lord Xia's little money is also hard and conscientious, it's not easy.

Ye Caitang walked over, and wanted to knock on the door but couldn't make a move, so he had to shout: "Lord Xia, are you there, I'll bring you supper?" ”

Xia Yue's voice quickly agreed: "Come in." ”

When Ye Caitang heard this, he didn't mean to get up and open the door for himself, so he had to turn sideways, open the door with his shoulder, and then enter the study.

As soon as Xia Yue looked up, he saw the cautious Ye Caitang, and hurriedly cleaned up a small piece of the desk and emptied it, and said, "You hold something, don't shout, let me open the door for you." ”

Ye Caitang said in his heart, how dare I, if I let Aunt Lin know that I let the adults open the door for me, she will count me down.

The tray is lowered and the fragrance is in the nose.

Ye Caitang shook his arm: "Eat it, adults, the beef and egg noodles made by Aunt Lin taste very good, if it weren't for the fact that the place where we live is too far from the street, we would all want to set up a stall." ”

I watched Liu Sha and them snoring in the room just now, Xia Yue is also at this age, busy until midnight, how can he not be hungry.

Xia Yue was not polite, dragged the tray in front of him, picked up a poached egg with chopsticks, and bit off half of it.

"Well, that's good." Xia Yue praised: "Aunt Lin's craftsmanship is good, the heat of this egg is just right, and it is crispy and not old." ”

Xia Yue took another bite of noodles, and the noodles were also strong and smooth, wrapped in mutton soup, which was delicious.

"Not really." Ye Caitang hurriedly said good things to Aunt Lin: "Aunt Lin's hometown is from the Northeast, and the pasta is very good. Noodles, steamed buns, flower rolls, dumplings, pancakes, fried dough sticks, glutinous rice cakes...... All done exceptionally well. ”

Ye Caitang said, and actually sighed.

Aunt Lin has skills, but unfortunately everyone is too poor, so she can only eat vegetable cakes and buns most of the time.

Although Xia Yue is a head catcher, he is not a reckless man, he is fast but gentle when he eats, he does not make a sound and does not dirty his clothes, he eats and listens to Ye Caitang report the name of the dish, and is thinking about whether to let Aunt Lin wrap dumplings with two kinds of fillings tomorrow, when he suddenly heard Ye Caitang sigh.

"What's going on?" Xia Yue stopped moving: "Is there less salary for Aunt Lin?" ”

"It's not." Ye Caitang said gloomily: "It's a lot, Aunt Lin is very grateful." I just sighed, Aunt Lin used to have no skills, but unfortunately she had no money and couldn't eat meat. Now that I've come to Six Doors, I can finally eat meat-filled bun dumplings. ”

Xia Yue smiled, poured the two leftover side dishes into the noodle bowl, and stirred them with chopsticks.

What is the life of the common people, Xia Yue understands, it is true that he can't make a meal of meat in a few days, but every family is like this, everyone is like this, and I have never seen anyone whose desire for meat is as straightforward as Ye Caitang.

It's very happy to eat meat during the New Year's holidays, and usually, green vegetables and radishes are also normal.

It is difficult to go from luxury to simplicity, and he naturally will not understand Ye Caitang's struggle and pain. He could only think that Ye Ming was about to be a father and a mother at the same time, just such a daughter, and naturally raised some arrogance.

Ye Caitang originally put down the tray and planned to leave, but seeing that Xia Yue was eating very quickly, he thought, a good person will do it to the end, just wait for him to finish eating, and clean up the dishes, chopsticks and plates.

Otherwise, Aunt Lin will definitely have to talk again, saying that she has no work in her eyes, and she has no eyesight at all.

Thinking about it like this, Ye Caitang looked at the table casually, what Xia Yue was dealing with was Lin Ling's case.

Xia Yue saw Ye Caitang's gaze fall on the table, and pushed it with his hand: "This is all the information about Lin Ling's case up to now, you can take a look." ”

Originally, they all felt that they had seen hope, and the final suspicion was focused on Kim Jong-li, just wait for Wang Tong to come back, and then make sure that they can arrest people. But unexpectedly, something happened suddenly, and Kim Jong-ri died.

"When I investigated before, Kim Jong-ri was the most marginal figure on the line that was connected with Lin Ling."

Ye Caitang flipped through the file in a hurry: "Now that Kim Zhengli is dead, I want to re-investigate him as the center, hey, I really hope that Linlin Touqi can come back, see her mother look at me, and tell me who the murderer is." ”

What is terrible about ghosts, and it has always been the human heart that is terrible.

Ye Caitang said with his own experience: "Kim Jong-ri committed suicide on behalf of others, whether he was persecuted or willing, there must be the person he cares about the most." ”

Xia Yue nodded while eating.

Ye Caitang said: "I heard Lu Waibei's meaning before, Jin Zhengli's business is quite profitable, and he will open his mouth for one hundred and eighty taels." I don't think he has bad habits, he doesn't eat or drink, and he doesn't gamble, so what about the money he has saved over the years? We didn't see much money in his room. ”

It is a crime to have a huge amount of property of unknown origin, and the disappearance of a huge amount of property is also a problem.

"That's what I've thought of too." Xia Yue sandwiched a piece of beef: "Tomorrow I am going to check from this aspect to see where he spent all his money." ”

Ye Caitang nodded, his gaze resting on the beef for a short time.

Xia Yue realized later: "You brought me food, did you eat it yourself?" ”

Ye Caitang replied: "I'm not hungry." ”

I was really not hungry just now, but seeing that Xia Yue was eating so deliciously at this time, it seemed that she was a little hungry again.

But she didn't want to snatch that piece of meat, and now when she goes back, there is probably nothing left in the kitchen, and she doesn't want to bother Aunt Lin anymore in the middle of the night.

Xia Yue smiled and stuffed the beef into his mouth.

Just when Ye Caitang said in his heart that he was going to buy some snacks tomorrow and put them at the head of the bed, Xia Yue got up and walked to the cabinet and took a box out.

"Someone brought a snack today, take it to the mat." Xia Yue put the snack box and the empty bowl on the tray together: "Go ahead." ”
