After entering the kitchen and looking around, Qin Shaoyou nodded with satisfaction.
He could tell at a glance that this kitchen had not been used for a long time.
However, when Zhu Xiucai rented this yard, he obviously considered that his adults would be cooking, so he specially hired someone to clean the kitchen inside and out, and also purchased pots, pans and other cooking utensils, as well as oil, salt and sauce.
Vinegar and other condiments.
All I can say is that Zhu Xiucai's work is really reassuring.
Qin Shaoyou walked to the stove, took out Fu Dou's skin, and summoned Fu Dou.
After eating a few blasts of blood and fire spewed out by Qin Shaoyou, Fu Dou obediently got into the stove without his instructions and started to heat up the pot.
Hu Dou is now more and more self-aware of being a tool demon.
While waiting for the pot to heat up, Qin Shaoyou was not idle either.
He took out the oil whale meat and washed it with the well water Qiu Rong helped bring.
As soon as the water touched the oil whale meat, a layer of oil immediately floated up, which showed how high the oil and water in the oil whale meat were. If it weren't for the released blood, it would be impossible to grasp these slippery pieces with just two hands.
Hand-made oil whale meat.
While cleaning the oil whale meat, Qin Shaoyou also took out the bone flute ashes from the [Human Arsenal] and asked Qiurong to help him further crush and grind them.
Although the bone flute was burned to ashes by the fire, it was not fine powder, but had more coarse particles, and there were even many large pieces of bone residue, which required further processing before being used for cooking.
Otherwise, it will not only affect the taste, but also the taste and effect.
The virtuous Qiurong nodded to express her understanding after listening to Qin Shaoyou's request.
She opened her mouth, put her hand into her mouth, took out a stone mortar from her soul body, put the bone powder into it, then lifted up the sleeves of her wedding dress, revealing two white and tender arms like lotus roots, and picked up a wooden pestle.
It started pounding like a thump.
It has a bit of the artistic conception of Lin Daiyu uprooting a weeping willow.
After Qin Shaoyou washed the oil whale meat, he cut it into small pieces with blood and put them into a pot to start refining the oil.
Nowadays, things like oil refining do not require Qin Shaoyou to do it himself.
He put the oil whale meat into the hot pot, then leaned over and told Fu Dou in the stove: "Hold the heat, don't let me refine the oil."
Fu Dou whined to express his understanding.
Qin Shaoyou left the oil refining business completely to Fu Dou, and became the hands-off shopkeeper, and he felt at ease for a while.
Glancing at the dark sky outside the window, Qin Shaoyou was a little worried about Xue Xiaobao's situation in the Imperial College.
Fortunately, he was prepared.
Taking out the pen and ink from the [human arsenal], Qin Shaoyou activated his blood energy and used the skill of writing flowers to create two ink eyes on his eyelids.
As his skills were activated, the eyes of one of the paper figures he handed to Xue Xiaobao in the Imperial Academy immediately became more vivid.
Qin Shaoyou used the skill of writing flowers to allow himself to see the situation of Xue Xiaobao in the Imperial College through the eyes of the paper man.
This boy is living a pretty good life. He is studying at night in the dormitory of the Imperial College under the care of the Fox Girl and the Rabbit Girl.
He was holding the book, shaking his head while reading, and eating the fruit fed by the fox girl and the rabbit girl with their bare hands. He felt very comfortable.
I have to say that the dormitories in the Imperial College are much better than those in the Demon Suppression Department.
Although the area is small and the furnishings are simple, it is a single room at least, so you don't have to squeeze into a large store with others.
Of course, the one who attracts the most hatred and envy is the brat Xue Xiaobao, who even reads a book and is served by a female goblin.
Fortunately, Qin Shaoyou also has Qiurong as a cook, who is not much worse than him.
Qin Shaoyou observed for a moment and determined that everything was normal with Xue Xiaobao in the Imperial College, so he felt relieved and stopped his 'peeping' behavior to avoid being noticed by Xue Xiaobao and thinking that his uncle had some special hobbies.
Putting away his blood, Qin Shaoyou wiped off the 'ink eyes' on his eyelids.
But as soon as he raised his hand, he stopped.
But he thought of Yang Zhen, the censor of Zuodu.
"Master Yang, by now, he must have been sent to the Hanlin Academy by the editors, right?"
So Qin Shaoyou didn't rush to wipe the ink on his eyelids, once again activated his blood energy to pinch the magic formula, and with the help of the wonderful flower-generating technique, he made contact with the drop of ink he secretly sent to Yang Zhen yesterday.
Fortunately, the prison clothes on Yang Zhen had not been changed. The ink spots hidden on the prison clothes changed at this moment, becoming like a miniature eye. Under the control of Qin Shaoyou, he secretly looked at the surrounding situation.
Through this drop of ink, Qin Shaoyou saw a large, dark room.
This room is filled with wooden shelves, which are densely packed and filled with books.
Although it was already night at this moment, there were only a few candlesticks scattered in this room.
The flickering weak candlelight not only failed to dispel the darkness in this large room, but also added a bit of weirdness and gloominess to this dim room.
What is this place? The Hanlin Academy?
Qin Shaoyou guessed in his heart, and at the same time, he quietly controlled the ink dot, causing it to leave Yang Zhen's prison clothes and roll to the ground.
After leaving Yang Zhen's prison clothes, Qin Shaoyou could see clearly with the help of ink dots that Yang Zhen was sitting in front of a table, holding a pen in his hand and writing furiously.
This scene made Qin Shaoyou very surprised.
What is Yang Zhen doing? Is he really revising books?
But looking at Yang Zhen's appearance, why is something so wrong?
Not to mention the dim light in this room, could Yang Zhen clearly see the books he wanted to copy and edit?
Just saying that the state he was in at this moment made Qin Shaoyou feel very weird and crazy.
It's absolutely morbid!
And Yang Zhen is not the only one who looks like this.
Qin Shaoyou passed the ink spots and quickly discovered that there were many people sitting scattered in this large, dark room.
Some of them, like Yang Zhen, wore dirty prison uniforms. Some of them wore expensive clothes, and some even wore red and purple official robes.
No matter how they dress, everyone is just like Yang Zhen, showing a kind of morbid madness.
And they were all lying on the desks in front of them, frantically copying something.
Among this group of people, Qin Shaoyou also saw an acquaintance - Minister Zhang who had been recalled to the capital.
When Zhang Shilang was recalled to Beijing, he thought he was going to be reinstated, but he didn't expect to be sent here to copy and compile books.
Moreover, judging from Zhang Shilang's appearance, he is actually much thinner than when he was in Mianyuan County before.
He obviously had some physical problems, but he was very excited mentally.
While Qin Shaoyou was surprised, he also became curious about what these people were copying and editing.
What kind of books were these court officials sent to the Hanlin Academy by Emperor Jianwu to edit? That made them all look so weird and crazy?
With full of curiosity, Qin Shaoyou controlled the ink dot, trying to let it climb up the table in front of Yang Zhen to take a peek.
However, just as this drop of ink silently climbed up the table leg, the candlesticks in the room suddenly went out collectively.
Immediately afterwards, a dark wind began to blow.
Black shadows flew from all directions towards the ink dot controlled by Qin Shaoyou with lightning speed, drowning it in an instant...
