Husband, Have Dinner - Chapter 218

Faced with a large table of good dishes, Ayao was full of joy.

Such a good mood until a plate of fish dishes was brought up.

On the black glaze plate lies a golden-fried mandarin fish, which is topped with thick golden sauce. It is conceivable that the method is braised with soy sauce, **** and spring onions, and finally sprinkled with green chopped green onions on the surface. The visual effect Extremely seductive.

At the same time, this fresh fish dish exudes an indescribable peculiar smell to the heat.

When it came up, Ayao was caught off guard by inhaling the odor. She quickly took a breath, her face flushed, but unfortunately it was too late, and she felt that her mouth was already full of that odor. .

Mo Xingle was amused by A Yao’s reaction, he couldn’t help but pounce, and then burst into laughter.

A Yao glared at him and didn’t stop his happiness. Seeing that A Yao’s face turned cloudy again, he became serious again and coughed lightly, “This is Fanlou’s signature dish, stinky mandarin fish, don’t let it smell.” It tastes strange, but the meat tastes delicious, which is completely different from its smell.”

The cooking of the mandarin fish was just right. He poked down the fish’s spine, and with a little bit of pressure on the chopsticks, the soft and tender fish was separated from the body with the white flesh of the fish, and the large pieces of fish were picked up. The petal-shaped fish has not been eaten. In the mouth, you can think that it must have firm meat, as if the peculiar smell was given to it by the chef.

“Mandarin fish tastes like this, but it’s really fresh!” Mo Xingle tried to get A Yao to accept this dish, and praised it so much that every bite is fresh and tender, without firepower, and after the slight smell, his mouth is full of fragrance. .

When Mo Xingle feasted, A Yao’s thoughts had drifted away.

Smelly mandarin fish, stinky tofu, snail noodles and other foods are “notorious”, but they have a group of diners who like it. As long as they don’t reject the taste that is thousands of miles away, they can taste it. The more you eat, the more fragrant you eat, the more you eat, the more you like it.

Mo Xingle was wrong. The smelly mandarin fish was not freshly caught from the river. In order to facilitate the long-distance transportation, the people along the river, where the mandarin fish was originally rich, put salt on both sides of the mandarin fish, but when it arrived, Still emitting a strange smell.

It is very similar to the method of stinky fish recorded in “Taiping Guang Ji”. After that, the chef will wash it and cook it over a slow fire, or stew or braise it, turning it into a magical dish, turning it into a famous dish, and even a city’s dish. Shop sign.

In non-summer times, some people will actively brew mandarin fish. The smell comes from the gas produced by the fermentation of the food. When cooking, the smell is volatilized as the fire is heated, so it smells and eats.

The transportation of shad is the same.

Anchovies are delicate, unable to withstand the toss, and die away from the water, so restaurants on the pier are on the way. Old gluttons have to taste that delicious bite not far away, and those who want to eat anchovies thousands of miles away, or Just like the way to cook anchovies, either, or…

Or what is it?

A Yao bit her chopsticks and thought hard.

“Ayao, what are you thinking about? If you don’t eat it, I will finish eating the food.” Mo Xingle saw her face full of distress, and thought she didn’t know which dish to choose.

“You eat first, I will think about it later.”

Eating food is so tangled, girls nowadays are really hard to understand. Mo Xingle sighed, then he would be rude to this mandarin fish.

“Yes!” A Yao suddenly snapped his chopsticks, “I thought about it! There is also a poisonous carry!”

“what?”

“An anchovy dies when it leaves the water. Transporting it becomes a big problem. Either it is like this smelly mandarin fish, or it is transported by the river on ice, day and night. If it is transported by land, there is another way to soak the anchovy. Put a lead box in the oil and store it in ice. This lead box is poisonous.” A Yao said.

“There is a saying to wash away the lead, that is, the makeup powder your little girl uses also contains lead? But it seems that you are not poisoned either.” Mo Xingle asked.

A Yao “That was a long time ago. I used rice noodles for a while, plus various spices, but the rice noodles are easy to fall off. Nowadays, the popular peach pollen is made of mussel powder, wax fat, motherwort, etc. There are also the pearl powder obtained by grinding pearls and the hosta powder blended with hosta flowers. Lead powder is hard to find in Fang City. Long-term use of lead powder will not be poisoned, but the skin is not much better… “

Another important point is that in the era when lead powder was used, life expectancy was generally short. Not many people who survived lead poisoning died early because of wars or diseases, and it is difficult to know that it is harmful.

“The Danshi alchemy will also add lead, cinnabar, and the like. As for immortality or life, it is a matter of opinion. Returning to the question itself, what is the reason for the poisoning of the imperial cook? What hatred did he and Xue Guifei have, even if it would To pay for his life, he will drag the whole family into the water and kill his wife and daughter? Concubine Xue Gui feigned his death, and left the palace to give birth to children, and then…just to blame Yu Chu?”

Mo Xingle leans towards the latter kind of speculation. Xue Nianzhi is supported by Jingzhao Xue’s family. The Xue Guifei walked out of Xue’s family. Can find stronger evidence.

“You eat slowly, I remembered that I had to take a step beforehand. The bill has already been settled.”

“Then I’ll go with you.” A Yao swept her gaze to the table, and she was all eaten by Mo Xingle. What else did she stay here to eat.

Mo Xingle was not ashamed at all, “Then owe another meal, turn around and make up for it, and leave first.”

Then for half a month, A Yao never saw Mo Xingle, but when she saw the bird’s nest on vacation, she looked relieved, and saw the youthful and lively breath of the girl again in her body.

Bird’s Nest came up to tease A Yao, saying that besides the one-third acre of land in the kitchen, she could develop her skills in the future and give people tips.

It seemed that Mo Xingle’s progress was fairly smooth. It’s great to be able to help. A Yao smiled and thought while pouring tea to the bird’s nest.

A lot of things have happened in the past half month.

Back then, the court lady next to Xue Guifei either returned or loyally followed her to die. She failed to get through with her personal identification, but Mo Xingle inadvertently found the stable wife who delivered the baby and determined that Xue Nianzhi was the seven “after death” of Xue Guifei. Born in the month. I rummaged through various materials, and finally found a line of words in a record. This line of less than 15 words in the record just proved that the shad sent to the palace was in a lead box, and then I restored the previous inspection. To find out the cause of the toxicity detected in the past year.

With these evidences, Mo Xingle applied under pressure…Of course, he still failed in the end—the imperial tomb could not be opened by him.

Even if it is not possible to prove whether Concubine Xue Gui was actually buried in the imperial tomb, the method of detecting the toxicity has already been found to cause the wrong judgment.

Mo Xingle still had a piece of information in his hand, but he didn’t intend to submit it. It was related to the saint’s slanderous slander. In this whole plan, Yu Chu and others were innocently affected from beginning to end.

Eighteen years later, Mochizuki regained his name, and together with Qu Yunhe stepped into the capital that he thought he would never be able to return to all his life.
