Food is the most important thing for people, and there is no shortage of delicious food places everywhere, and Qibao County is certainly no exception.
There is a famous restaurant in Qibao County called "Zuifeng Restaurant". There are many chefs in the restaurant, and the food they make is delicious and delicious, and it is famous in this area.
The top floor of Zui Feng Building is quite special. Guests dining on this floor can not only look down and enjoy the surrounding scenery, but also see the whole process of cooking by the chef.
Inside the building, seats for guests are arranged around the walls, while in the center is an unobstructed kitchen, complete with stoves, stoves, ingredients, etc. Here, diners can watch the entire process of making dishes.
process.
The purpose of this is to arouse the greedy worms in the diners' stomachs and help whet their appetites. In addition, it also allows the diners to see how the dishes they are about to eat are made, so they can eat with confidence.
This special way of eating has attracted many diners, and people come to eat on the top floor of Zui Feng Building every day.
At noon today, the top floor of the Zui Feng Building was packed as usual, and every seat of the twelve tables on all sides was occupied by guests. In comparison, the number of people at the other tables was relatively large, in twos and threes, chatting and laughing. Only one table only
There was a person sitting there. He was a young man with sharp eyebrows and sharp eyebrows. He was wearing a light blue coat and a sword hanging from his waist. He was obviously young, but he was quite impressive.
The young man is Zhao Zheng. He has been looking for delicious food everywhere since he arrived in Qibao County. He is not a greedy foodie. He is not looking for delicious food just to eat, but to find a person.
This man's name was Jia Yi, an old scholar who had good calligraphy and was good at imitating other people's calligraphy. The works he copied could almost be authentic.
In order to deceive Miao Shaobai, Miao Li relied on Jia Yi to imitate Zhuo Wenqing's handwriting and write letters to Miao Shaobai over the years.
If you want to expose Miao Li's lies, you must find this Jia Yi and use him as the entry point.
Zhao Zheng did not know where Jia Yi lived, but he knew Jia Yi's physical characteristics and interests.
Jia Yi is an old scholar, quite young, with a red rosy nose. His only hobby in life is eating. He always talks about "it's not worth asking about the world's affairs. It's better to lie down and eat more". He
Using the reward given to him by Miao Li, he went to various restaurants in Qibao County for many years to satisfy his appetite.
Knowing this information, it is easy to find Jia Yi, just visit those food holy places every day.
Today, Zhao Zheng came to this Zuifenglou. It seems that he came to the right place.
The chefs in the middle of the room are busy making a famous dish "pot-braised beef". The chefs put beef cubes, potatoes, white radish balls, mushroom slices, red dates and other ingredients into a casserole, and simmered it over low heat. There were wisps of white gas.
It rises and releases the aroma of beef, which makes people's mouths lick.
Zhao Zheng smelled the aroma and felt salivation in his mouth and hunger in his belly.
The pot of beef on the fire was undoubtedly very tempting, but his eyes were not on the beef. Instead, he passed over the stove and stared at an old man with a rosy nose. He had been observing this old man for a long time and felt that
The person is very suspicious, it is most likely that Jia Yi.
The rosy nose was talking about food with his friends at the same table. He spoke in a clear and logical manner, as if he knew more about the food than the chefs.
After many steps of cooking, the pot-braised beef was finally ready. Because of the fear that the heavy oil fumes would scare away the guests, the kitchen on this floor was not built too large. When cooking, the amount of dishes would be increased, and one dish would be served.
Dishes are distributed to diners at multiple tables at the same time.
This pot-braised beef dish is a famous dish in the store. We made twelve portions at one time and served them to twelve tables.
Zhao Zheng picked up a piece of beef and put it into his mouth. The fragrant juice spread in his mouth. With a slight bite, the beef immediately became rotten and the taste was delicious. He was very satisfied and took several pieces of beef in succession.
Enjoy it with fine wine.
The guy with a bad nose opposite him ate very slowly, savoring every dish carefully, and it took him a long time to finish the meal.
In order to keep track of his nose with rosacea, Zhao Zheng also ate slowly and deliberately delayed the time.
With a rosy nose and a full stomach, I burped and went downstairs with my friends.
Zhao Zheng paid the bill and followed him. He didn't follow too closely, but listened carefully to the footsteps of Jiuzhannii. Since he arrived at the fourth heaven, his body has improved significantly in all aspects, and his hearing has improved a lot, which is enough to survive in many places.
Among the chaotic sounds, specific footsteps were discerned.
The rosy nose didn't realize that he was being followed. When he was halfway there, he said goodbye to his friends.
Zhao Zheng vaguely heard those people calling the arrogant nose "Brother Jia", and his heart skipped a beat. It seemed that this person was almost Jia Yi. He quietly followed Jia Yi to Jia Yi's residence. The place was very small.
There is only one courtyard and one house, located on a residential street.
It was inconvenient to sneak into Jia Yi's home during the day. After he noted the location, he walked away as if nothing had happened. Only at night did he come here again wearing night clothes.
Under the cover of the night, Zhao Zheng flew up to the wall, tiptoed a little, and landed in the courtyard. The room was lit with lamps, the lights were bright, and a human silhouette was printed on the window lattice paper. He leaned over and walked quickly to the window
, hiding in the dark, listening to the movement in the house.
There seemed to be only one person in the room, and there was always silence.
Zhao Zheng listened for a while and saw that the people in the room were silent. He bravely raised his head slightly, punctured the window lattice paper, and looked into the room. He saw Jia Yi's back, who was leaning on the table and writing.
I don’t know what I’m writing.
It seems that what Jia Yi wants to write is a bit difficult. Every time he writes a few words, he will stop and think for a while, and then continue writing. When he is halfway through writing, he will invalidate it because he is not satisfied with the words he wrote, and take it away.
Get it up, knead it into a ball, throw it into the wastebasket, and start writing again.
"Is it possible that he is forging a letter to Miao Shaobai for Miao Li?" Zhao Zheng thought about this and narrowed his eyes slightly.
At this moment, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves on the street, and it seemed that someone was rushing this way. Zhao Zheng became alert, lowered his body, stepped back quickly, and detoured from the wall of the front room to the back room. No
After a while, the sound of horse hooves stopped at the door, and someone dismounted and knocked on the door.
"It's so late, who is it?" Jia Yi in the room asked and walked out holding a candlestick.
"It's me, open the door quickly." The person outside the courtyard door replied coldly, with a condescending majesty in his voice.
When Jia Yi heard this voice, he was like a mouse hearing a cat's meow. He trembled with fright, walked quickly to the door, and opened the courtyard door.
"Magistrate Miao County, it turns out that you are here. Please come in quickly, please come in quickly." Jia Yi lowered his voice and said flatteringly.
Someone from outside the hospital walked in. He was wearing a robe and a hat covering his head and face. Under the candlelight, his iconic "Y eyebrows" were particularly eye-catching. He turned out to be the local county magistrate Miao Li.
.
Jia Yi took the reins from Miao Li's hand, led the horse into the courtyard, and then closed the courtyard door.
"Jia Yi, how are you writing those two letters?" Miao Li asked with a sullen face.
"Don't worry, I'm doing something. Everything is going very smoothly. I've already figured out how to write these two letters." Jia Yi replied with a smile.
"Hmph, that sounds nice. I have supported you all year round and given you money to spend, but you can't even handle such a small thing, and it took so long to write two letters. In half a month, you will read the letter to Miao Shaobai.
It’s been a long time, if you can’t hand in the letter by the time limit, let’s see how I deal with you!”
"Don't worry, County Magistrate, I promise to deliver the work as scheduled."
"It's taken you so long and you haven't finished writing. Are you lazy?"
"The magistrate has wronged me. It's not that I'm lazy, it's just that it's too difficult to imitate the tone of the mother and son. I'm like an actor in a play, one person has to play two roles. Not only do I have to imitate the handwriting of these two people, but I also have to imitate the handwriting of these two people.
We still have to consider what these two people will say to Miao Shaobai. I pretend to be the younger daughter-in-law and the eldest son at the same time, how can it be that easy?" Jia Yi said bitterly.
"If it was a simple matter, why would I be looking for you?" Miao Li glared at Jia Yi.
"This, this is true."
"Come on, take me to see the letter you wrote. I want to check it in advance." Miao Li flicked his sleeves.
"Please come in quickly and I will show it to you right away. If you are hungry, Magistrate, I will cook you some special dishes. My cooking skills are as good as my writing skills. I guarantee your satisfaction." Jia Yi
He quickly led the way and said diligently.
"Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat. In the past few years, your bad mouth has cost me at least more than three thousand taels of silver." Miao Li glanced at Jia Yi.
"I only have this hobby. If you don't let me eat something good, I won't be able to write well."
"It would be better if the two letters you wrote this year can fool Miao Shaobai. If your letters reveal their flaws, you will be jailed."
"The magistrate is joking, I don't want to eat that kind of food." Jia Yi swallowed in fear.
The two of them entered the house one after another. Jia Yi presented the letter he wrote today to Miao Li, and the two started chatting about the content.
Zhao Zheng hid under the wall of the back room, put his ear against the wall, and relied on his unusual hearing to hear the conversation between the two people clearly, word for word. He did not expect that Miao Li would tonight
When the meeting came, I was very surprised and became even more cautious. I didn't even dare to breathe for fear of alarming Miao Li.
Jia Yi pretended to be Zhuo Wenqing and his son Miao Zhuang, and fabricated two letters, lying that both mother and son were fine and what had happened in the past year. It was not easy to make up stories. Until today, he has just
Only half of it has been compiled.
Miao Li listened to Jia Yi's report and was generally satisfied.
"Miao Shaobai said that his son's handwriting is too sloppy. Please tear up this letter and rewrite it, making the handwriting slightly higher." Miao Li ordered.
"This is easy to handle. I'll rewrite it as soon as you leave." Jia Yi agreed.
"He doesn't know that his son has died a long time ago, and he still spends all day longing for his son to succeed. It's really sad. It's better to satisfy him with this small wish and make him happy. It's good for me." Miao Li
He rolled up his sleeves and said, "What you have written so far is pretty good. The rest of it needs to be written well. Remember to make it true and believable. I have something to do at home, so I will leave now."
"You go slowly, I'll see you off." Jia Yi said quickly.
The two of them left the house together, and Jia Yi sent Miao Li away. After closing the courtyard door, the drunken man hummed a tune, which seemed to be in a good mood.
Zhao Zheng figured out the situation and locked in on Jia Yi. He had achieved his goal. He stayed for a while, and after feeling that Miao Li had gone far, he jumped out of the yard. He ran on the night road, frowning , the face under the mask was full of displeasure.
In his opinion, the man named Miao Shaobai was too pitiful. His wife and children were killed, and he was deceived for so many years.
If Miao Shaobai knew the cruel truth, I really don’t know how angry he would be, and he might even go crazy. This is a problem. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
