"Gu,Gu..."

Jia Li suddenly heard a strange sound, and Lin Ruhai touched his stomach awkwardly.

Seeing this, Jia Li looked at Lin Ruhai, and the two laughed at each other.

"My nephew is negligent, please forgive me!"

Then Jia Li arranged for the servant to prepare some midnight snacks, and called out the few people who were still playing in the back hall.

Speaking of this midnight snack, it is not a rare thing. It is dumplings, also known as "dumplings!"

Speaking of this dumpling, there is an interesting legend, which is related to the medical saint Zhang Zhongjing. Zhang Zhongjing has been studying medical books since childhood. He has extraordinary abilities and is a famous doctor. At the same time, others are also very good, and he is a rare and good doctor.

When the plague broke out, he set up a big pot to cure diseases and save people. Later, in a winter, when the weather was cold and cold, he retired and returned home. After returning to his hometown, he found that the villagers at that time were poor and most of them could not afford to wear cotton coats. The weather was cold and the cold was so cold that their ears were almost falling off.

He suddenly felt pity and vowed to save the poor fellow villagers who had frozen ears. So he set up a medical shed by the river to give medicine to the poor to treat the wounds. Zhang Zhongjing's medicine was called "Quhan Jiaoer Decoction", which was a "Jiaoer" wrapped in dough and made the ear-shaped "Jiaoer". After taking it for a while, the patient found that the rotten ears were slowly getting better.

In order to commemorate Zhang Zhongjing, people eat dumplings on the winter solstice and the first day of the Lunar New Year. Every time they eat dumplings, people will remember the story of a famous doctor named Zhang Zhongjing who made "Qihanjiaoer Soup" 1,800 years ago.

The chef of the Hou Mansion is skillful and skillful. The dumplings are very delicate, with thin skin and large fillings. The plates of dumplings are steaming with hot steam. The fragrance can be smelled from a distance, and even the dog next door is crying.

Jia Li looked at Xichun, who was like a greedy cat, laughed, pointed her little nose with her fingers, and said in a doting tone: "Check it cool first, be careful to burn your mouth!"

Lin Ruhai, Daiyu, Xichun, and Jia Li sat down, Qingwen, Yinglian, Qiujiao, Keqing and a few more thick maids were waiting by the side.

At first, Daiyu thought that Jia Li and the others would have special care, but seeing their natural gaze, Daiyu's eyes moved, and the mansion did not break the rules because of the lack of a girl.

Suddenly, Jia Li threw away the silver chopsticks, his face darkened, he stood up, and his eyes were scanning the maid who was serving him back and forth.

"Who is it?"

Lin Ruhai and Xichun were still there, Daiyu was stunned. What happened to Jia Li?

Xichun was very worried. Seeing that nothing was wrong, he raised his chopsticks and picked up a dumpling and sent it into his mouth.

A loud shout suddenly exploded in her ear, "Let it go!"

The sound was deafening, which scared Xichun. The silver chopsticks were not grasped firmly for a while, and the dumplings fell to the ground.

Lin Ruhai and Daiyu were also shocked and put down the silver chopsticks in their hands.

Xichun could hear that it was Jia Li's voice just now. When he pouted his mouth, his cheeks bulged, and his eyes were staring at Jia Li, as if he was asking brother what was going on, and he scared his little sister to death.

"Please forgive me, my uncle. Wushang didn't expect that outsiders would get involved in the mansion?"

Lin Ruhai saw such things for too many times, and after a change of mind, he could guess what had happened.

However, he was very curious. The Champions' Mansion was also considered Jia Li's base camp. With Jia Li's caution, how could he get in and do it carefully?

"Master, what happened?"

This meal was spread by Qingwen. This time the incident seemed to have happened to the meal, so Qingwen couldn't help but ask.

“Who is responsible for the kitchen?”

Qiujiao stood up. She had always liked to steal the mouth. In addition, Jia Li didn't care about the backyard, Qiujiao volunteered to take over the matter. Now Jia Li asked, she also had some bad guesses in her heart.

"It's Xu Si's family who is in charge of the kitchen!"

"Call her here, I'll ask her if I have something to do!"

After a while, a half-old Xu girl walked in. Seeing that the masters in the room looked bad, she didn't dare to talk much. She just came in and knelt aside and waited for Jia Li's inquiry.

"You made the dumplings tonight?"

Jia Li's voice could not hear the joy and anger. Xu Sijia thought it was Jia Li who was not satisfied with the taste of the dumplings, so he replied in a low voice: "I made it by the master, but everyone in the kitchen came to help at that time. The filling was made by Gou Sanjia, and the fire was burned by Fang Hui's family..."

Seeing that she was clearly speaking, Jia Li was not worried, and her heart moved, so she called all the servants who were serving tonight.

After a while, a row of people stood at the door and counted them twice. Seeing that no one had left or disappeared, Jia Li smiled.

Jia Li went back to the house, brought out a plate of dumplings, and said with a smile: "Tonight's New Year's Eve, I can't let you do your work. There is a plate of dumplings here, which I just made in the kitchen just now. I will give you one to try it out!"

At this time, the Xu Si family found that Jia Li's tone was not right. The things that were brought into Jia Li's house were never rewarded to the servants. They all had fixed rules. The rules in the mansion were extremely strict, but the monthly money was extremely generous. They had never complained about anything.

However, what was obviously wrong today. Jia Li glanced at ten people and put the plate in front of the first person.

"Get one!"

The first one is from the Xu Si family. Now she has guessed something and is not willing to touch these dumplings in her heart!

"take!"

The voice was already chilling this time. Fang Sijia's whole body shook, and he didn't dare to disobey it anymore, so he took one from the plate.

"eat!"

Jia Lixi's name was as good as gold. Seeing that the Xu Si family had eaten, he came to the second person and repeated the same thing. Soon the sixth person had arrived.

Jia Li handed the plate to her and gestured with her eyes, but the man refused to do it for a long time. Seeing the warm dumplings on the plate, he looked like he saw arsenic and retreated repeatedly.

Jia Li smiled and said, "Why, I won't eat it! Do you want me to feed you yourself?"

Seeing that Jia Li had no intention of letting her go, the man looked a little crazy, "You crazy man, if you want to eat it yourself, I won't eat it!"

When the four people in front heard this, they looked at her. Obviously they didn't understand what this sentence meant. This was the first time that Jia Li gave them his food. Even if he didn't want it, there was no need to say that!

Jia Li did not intend to let this person go, and handed the plate to her again, and said coldly: "If you don't eat, I will ask your family to eat it, your father, your mother, brother, sister, or younger brother, and sister to taste your skills together!"

"don't want!"

She seemed to know Jia Li's method, and when she heard Jia Li's words, she couldn't help but sit on the ground, her eyes were a little distracted. She looked at the dumplings in front of her and couldn't help but swallow two saliva.

She was very clear about what she had in it. It was the poison that was sealed with blood. The medicine was colorless and tasteless. She thought Jia Li and the others had already eaten it, and she knew that she could not escape. Only when Jia Li died could her family survive. Escape was useless.

Looking at Jia Li's cold eyes, she burst into tears for a moment.

"Master, I was forced! Just spare me this time!"

The faces of the five people who were eating dumplings in front changed. Is there something wrong with the dumplings?

Daiyu, Xichun shook her head, but unfortunately, a plate of crystal dumplings!

A trace of sternness flashed across Lin Ruhai's face and he glanced at Jia Li.
