Heroine’s Road to Becoming Scum Chapter 934: The ninety-sixth bowl of soup (1)
The ninety-sixth bowl of soup (1)
The sun is shining brightly in spring, and the fence of a private household in Kyoto is full of flowers, full of fragrance. People who passed by here couldn't help but take a look and exclaimed, wondering what kind of girl lives in it, who has such a pair of skillful hands, can she marry her home as a daughter-in-law. Look at these flowers, they look so good, they are really enviable.
However, the one who kicked in the door and his fast catchers probably won't appreciate it. The eyes of the hunters were as sharp as knives, slicing through this small courtyard that looked warm and quiet. They were all wearing dark blue public robes, tall and mighty, with knives pinned to their waists. The one in the lead was eight feet long and stepped on Xiangyun soap boots. When he stepped up, he broke the seemingly solid wooden door. The sawdust burst out in all directions, startling the chickens and ducks raised in the yard, and they quacked and quacked incessantly.
No one thought it was a girl feeding a baby with a baby in her arms. In her hand, she was holding a very delicate small porcelain bowl with fresh milk custard in it, and she was feeding it spoon by spoon to the little baby who didn't look like much. The little baby was frightened by the ferocious men who rushed in, swallowed the egg custard in her mouth, and burst into tears. Let the hunters see that it is quite a creature called an ostrich that was sent to the Western countries before, and hides its head in the sand when it is frightened.
The day the ostrich was brought in as a tribute, they served as guards along the way, which is really impressive.
A group of big men, murderous, who is not afraid?
The beautiful girl was also taken aback and stared at them with her baby doll in her arms. The rough men who were not married were seen by the beautiful girl, and they all blushed, only Xie He, the boss of their steel straight man, stepped forward, completely ignoring the girl's beauty: "This child is the orphan of Sun Shilang, a few days ago. I just disappeared, please come with us to Kyoto Prefecture."
The beautiful girl blinked and said, "I picked this child up."
"What?"
"I really picked it up." The beautiful girl repeated it again for fear that he would not believe it. "I picked it up by the river. He was placed in a wooden basin at the time. I happened to pass by and took him back. If you don't believe me, I still have the wooden basin." He pointed to the one in the corner of the yard. a tub.
Xie He motioned for his hands to bring the wooden basin and took a closer look. It was just an ordinary wooden basin, without any peculiarities. "How can I believe what you say?"
The beautiful girl smiled: "I don't need to lie to you. Thank you sir for stopping the cry of the little one. I'm just a weak girl. What's the ability to lie to you?"
Xie He pondered for a few seconds, and asked his men to put away their weapons. In an instant, the sword was sheathed, and the unmarried hunters all tried their best to perform in front of the beautiful girl, all of them stood up straight and raised their chests and raised their heads. Xie He stretched out his hand to the beautiful girl: "Give me the child."
The beautiful girl frowned and said, "I saved this child, and I don't want anyone but me. Your Excellency is the chief arrester of the Kyoto Prefecture. If you bring this child back, who will take care of it? It's better to leave it at my house. "
The milk baby really refused to be hugged by Xie He, and kicked him desperately with her feet. Xie He's eyebrows showed the word "Chuan". He really has no experience with children, and he has no siblings, but this child is very important and cannot be handed over to anyone. "Of course I can't take care of it, but someone is willing to take care of it. Sun Shilang has a cousin, the Prince of Pingyang, who offered to take care of the child."
The beautiful girl didn't say a word, but the baby girl suddenly burst into tears. He was only a little over two years old. He couldn't speak clearly, and his memory of his parents was not clear enough. There is only one person who will never let others touch him. Especially Xie He was full of suffocation, and he didn't smile for eight hundred years, and the children were even more afraid of him. If a child in Kyoto is disobedient, his parents will scare him, and if he is mischievous, let Master Xie of Kyoto Prefecture take you away! The child did not dare to make trouble immediately. It can be seen how far Xie He's reputation has spread.
"Isn't the eldest concubine mentioned by Mr. Xie the girl who was engaged to Shilang Sun but regretted the marriage and climbed Gaozhi again? She didn't communicate with Shilang Sun in recent years, so why did she die in Shilang Sun? Do you want to take care of his orphans in the future? Don't adults think it's strange?"
The fast catchers are immersed in the beauty of the prosperous world, and they nod their heads: Strange and strange! You are beautiful, everything you say is right!
Xie He's eyes were cold: "How do you know?"
"Master Xie, don't doubt me." The beautiful girl smiled. "I rely on this **** to eat."
Xie He glanced at the signboard standing behind the beautiful girl, with four big characters written on it: The iron mouth is straight.
This girl seems to have an excellent temperament and ingenuity, but I didn't expect to be a liar. Xie He didn't believe this, but what she said was indeed the truth, which was why he hesitated. Sun Shilang's family was exterminated, and only such a missing child was left. They traced it all the way to this place and could not be abandoned.
The milk baby babbled some vague words, and pulled the porcelain bowl with her small hands, so the beautiful girl fed him the egg custard and said, "Don't worry, sir, I will take care of this child and ask for nothing. You If you are afraid of me doing bad things, just watch me."
Xie He thought for a while, then said, "Pack up, take this child, and follow me."
Go?
Where are you going?
Xie He didn't explain, but everyone knew that he was always right. So in the end, the girl could only follow Xie He with the milk doll.
The back house of Kyoto Prefecture is where the governor of Kyoto, Lord Yang and his staff live. Although Xie He is a native of Kyoto, he also has his own room in the back house. The Kyoto mansion is very big, and there are many empty courtyards. After he reported to Lord Yang, he settled the beautiful girl and the baby girl in the small courtyard of the back house.
Things seem to come to an end here, but soon he comes again, this time without the group of singles.
"You said your surname is Meng, from Shangchuan, but why can't I find information about you in the household registration?" Xie He put his arms around his chest, because it was time for business, he took off his dark male robe, only wearing a black long gown, but still can feel the powerful power contained in his body. Because of the action of encircling the chest, the bulging pectoral muscles on the chest are clearly stretched under the thin shirt, which is very masculine.
It's like walking hormones.
He probably just had a bath and his hair was still dripping.
Qing Huan brought out a covered sea bowl from the small kitchen, and when he heard his question, he couldn't help laughing: "It will take at least a month to get from here to Shangchuan, and the general household registration management office in Kyoto will inevitably have omissions. The adults can send someone to investigate, why should I lie?"
There are not enough people in the Kyoto prefecture, how could she go to Shangchuan to check the household registration for one, she just said that because she knew it.
The milk doll is sitting on a special chair, beating and beating with two small hands. It is growing, hungry and hungry.
Qing Huan brought the sea bowl to the table and asked politely, "Master Xie, do you want to eat some too? I just made fish soup."
Actually, Xie He had dinner and was with the other catchers. He came here just to deceive this mysterious beautiful girl, and if it didn't work, he planned to leave. Who knew that just as he was about to turn around, the lid of the sea bowl was lifted, and a fragrant smell came towards him, making his footsteps stop unconsciously.
Xie He, the chief arresting officer of the Kyoto Prefecture, is known as a shaman, with strong martial arts, upright, and no weaknesses in his body-this is the world's impression of him.
He's a tough guy - that's the impression he's got from people who want to buy him.
Don't dare to do evil, for fear of breaking into his hands. In this man's eyes, the emperor is guilty of breaking the law and the common people - this is the impression of him from the gangsters in Kyoto.
Loyalty and integrity, and do not even buy the face of the official - so said the governor of Kyoto, Lord Yang.
But only Xie He's mother knows that Mr. Xie actually has a fatal weakness and loves to eat fish.
Old lady Xie cooked a good hand of fish, but since the old man passed away, Xie He has not eaten fish for a long time. The food in Kyoto Prefecture is good, but the fish is not so good. Xie He can also eat other food that is not delicious. After all, he is only hungry. But the fish must be delicious, and if it is not delicious, he will never move!
If someone went to interview the catchers about Mr. Xie's food preferences, they would definitely tell you in unison: The chief catcher doesn't like fish! Never eat fish! If you invite him to dinner, don't have any fish!
Xie He has not eaten fish for nearly three years. His monthly salary is five taels of silver, because he is a single dog, and the money is basically spent on those who need help. , so yes, Xie He is greedy for fish, but he can't be greedy.
Fish is a good thing, but it's not easy to get it right. Especially the fish soup, which is also for children, and should not be oversized, so it will inevitably be fishy. However, when the fish soup was opened, all Xie He could smell was the fresh aroma of the fish, without the slightest fishy smell. He immediately stood by the door, then walked into the room uncontrollably, and sat down at the table.
The fish is the first-class sea bass that Qinghuan personally went to the street to buy after settling in Kyoto Prefecture. It is tender and fresh, and the meat is delicate. The fish is removed to make fish soup, and the rest is not wasted. Stew the ingredients until the juice is collected - eat with pancakes for a while, delicious and full.
"You're welcome, sir." Qing Huan filled a small bowl for the little baby, and brought the remaining sea bowl to Xie He before turning around and heading to the kitchen.
Xie He picked up the spoon and scooped up a spoonful. The broth was crystal clear, with finely shredded ham, bamboo shoots, mushrooms and green onion floating on the soup surface. After taking a bite, I only feel that the fish meat is smooth and elastic, and the soup is absorbed into the meat, which is combined with the umami of the fish itself.
