Chapter 1201 The Unsolved Mystery

Chapter 1201 The Unsolved Mystery

At the third quarter of the Shenshi hour, Duan Fuan and Guo Zhengqin set off their own food and walked slowly towards the government office. Both of them knew in their hearts that this trip was a gift for the newly arrived Mr. He. For the sake of the 2000 taels of silver, Mr. He can save a little trouble for his own business in the future and live this life smoothly.

When we were not far from Fuya, the familiar faces on the road gradually increased. When we saw each other, we nodded tacitly. Even though we were usually rivals, now we meet without the tension of the past. , no matter how hard the two fight, it's just a thin invitation, and I have to obediently send the money over.

When they arrived at the side door of the government office, Duan Fu'an and Guo Zhengqin handed over the invitation card in their hands, and after inspecting the door's servants, they let the two of them in. Only then did the two realize that they seemed to be a bit late. The ten wine tables in the yard were already filled with half of the guests. After a closer look, these people were all well-known people in Pazhou. When there were two people, many people stood up and said hello to the two.

"Wai Duan, are you here too?"

"Mr. Sun, you came early."

As soon as the two of them sat down, a person came over from the table next to him. This person's surname was Sun, and his family owned a silk and satin shop. He and Duan Fu'an had no business problems, and they were nodding acquaintances.

The grandson sat down after arriving here, lowered his voice and asked: "You two, did you hear anything?"

"What's the rumor?" Duan Fu'an and Guo Zhengqin looked at each other and asked in puzzlement.

Seeing that the two people didn't know what was going on, Yuanwai Sun's vanity was immediately satisfied, he looked around carefully like a thief, and then said in a low voice: "You two, Yuanwai, do you know why Mr. He is looking for us this time?"

What's the matter?Isn't that obvious?

Duan Fu'an couldn't help snorting softly, although he didn't make it clear, he also said euphemistically: "What else can it be, Mr. He is a new official, of course he has to get acquainted with us local snakes, so as not to get hurt in the future It's not good to be peaceful."

Inside the words, it means that He Jiaan is asking for protection money from himself.

After listening to Duan Fu'an's words, the Sun Yuanwai smiled and shook his head, and said in a low voice: "No, no, I heard that Mr. He is going to take out a treasure to drop in Pazhou because of the outstanding people in our Pazhou." , this time I am planning to find someone to partner with.”

"Baby? What baby?" Hearing these two words, Duan Fuan and Guo Zhengqin were taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly asked.

"Hehe, I don't know what kind of treasure it is, but this Lord He is a man who travels all over the world. He has defeated the Franji in the south and the Tatars in the north. The Japanese pirates alone have broken three or four times in his hands. If What he calls a baby should not be fake."

Ever since the news that He Jiaan was going to come to Paju to be the magistrate came out, these rich people in Paju had already inquired about him clearly. Pulling Zhengde's most trusted minister off the horse, all these inquiries were clear, so since He Jiaan arrived in Paju, these people have already begun to miss him, but all the invitations sent to the government office were returned. There is only one reply. My lord knows about this matter, and I will invite everyone back after I am done with my work for a while.

Even if it is He Jiaan's reply today, of course, in Duan Fuan's eyes, it is also his best chance to make a fortune.

Being an official for thousands of miles is only for money, otherwise, who would give up the good conditions of the capital and run to this Paju.

Duan Fu'an didn't take the treasure Sun Yuanwai said seriously after thinking about it. He guessed that this was just a random excuse for He Jiaan. Maybe he was afraid that everyone would give him less money, so he took this so-called treasure out to collect a fortune and make a fortune. go back.

Just when everyone was chatting with each other, this person was almost there. At this moment, a row of people in white clothes and white hats came suddenly from the side door. I used to know that people with white hats Except for the white impermanence, it is the filial hat worn by the dead relatives, but the style of this white hat is different from theirs, the brim of the flat hat is turned upside down, and even the clothes on their bodies are also visible Everyone was stunned, you looked at me, I looked at you, but they didn't understand what it meant.

After this group of people reached the open space, they leveled the iron frame in their hands, and then lit a charcoal fire inside, and after a while, small flames burst out.

Everyone was even more puzzled, what the hell is this Mr. He doing?Everyone is not the kind of person who doesn't know much. He clearly intends to ask for kebabs.

Just when everyone was guessing what they were going to bake, He Jiaan and Xu Wen walked out from the side door side by side. After arriving in front of everyone, he smiled and cupped his hands and said: "My officer, He Jiaan, thank you for your support. Thank you all here."

He Jiaan's first impression on the adults was quite approachable, but everyone knew that this kind of smiling face was unrecognizable at all, and the gang of officials turned their faces faster than turning the pages of a book.

After saying hello, He Jiaan said: "The government office is simple, and they also prepare some delicious food. It happened that when I was in Datong, I saw the way of local people's barbecue. Today, I will show you a demonstration, so that everyone can taste it."

After finishing speaking, these cooks took out the meat skewers that had been prepared, and put dozens of meat skewers on the iron rack. After a short time, everyone smelled the unique smell of mutton.

"Brother Duan, what the hell is Mr. He doing? Why invite us to barbecue?" Guo Zhengqin was confused by He Jiaan's actions, and couldn't help asking Duan Fuan.

He didn't know, and neither did Duan Fu'an. Ever since he heard Sun Yuanwai's words, he had been paying attention to He Jia'an's actions, but it seemed that he didn't see any movements. When Guo Zhengqin asked, he silently Shaking his head, he said in a muffled voice, "I don't know either, just keep reading and you'll find out."

After a short while, the barbecue was cooked. These chefs sprinkled the ingredients that had been prepared, and after they were plated, they were delivered to each table.

"Come, come, everyone, please don't be polite, I will treat everyone to this meal today." He Jiaan was also not polite, picked up a bunch and started eating.

Really delicious?

Everyone, look at me, and I look at you. Since Master He has eaten it, it must be eaten by others.

Duan Fu'an is also a cook, and he is the most particular about eating. Although he doesn't like to eat this meat skewer, but other people have done it, so he can't just sit here and watch it. He picks up a skewer from the plate and gets used to it first. Put it under his nose and smell it, just like that, he smelled an unusual smell, and it seemed that he had never smelled this smell before.

what is this?

Duan Fuan finally saw clearly that there were some small red seasonings hanging on these meat skewers. In his impression, he had never seen such a thing before. Could it be that these are the source of this smell?

Chapter 1202

Chapter 1202

Compared with the spicy taste of dogwood, the spicy taste of this red seasoning is stronger. Just by smelling it, I can feel a spicy taste rushing straight into my nostrils, and this spicy taste is similar to that of mutton Combined together, it gives an unforgettable fragrance.

Compared with Duan Fuan, he first observed the meat skewer from the perspective of color and aroma. Others were not as particular about him. He randomly picked up a skewer and stuffed it into his mouth. Suddenly, he bit too much, but suddenly his face froze. Then he quickly pulled out the skewers and coughed quickly.

The back garden, which had been dull just now, suddenly seemed to be boiling, and more coughs began to sound from every table.

Is this taste really so powerful?

Duan Fuan finally put the meat skewers in his mouth. He didn't bite off several pieces in one bite like other people did. He just bit off a piece of meat. The tenderness of the mutton comes second, the key is the spiciness But it just played the role of finishing touch, and immediately improved the meaty taste a lot.

Duan Fuan's eyes lit up immediately, and he had a vague thought in his heart, as if he had guessed what the treasure Sun Yuanwai just mentioned was.

The first batch of mutton kebabs were quickly eaten up by everyone. Although everyone felt that their mouths were numb and spicy, they always wanted to look forward to the arrival of the next kebab, and waited until the second batch of mutton kebabs As soon as it arrived, it was immediately divided by the people on the table, and it was quickly swallowed into the stomach.

These few skewers alone are really not very enjoyable. Just when everyone was about to eat more, the cooks who were burning charcoal stopped, and watching them clean up, it seemed that they were about to eat more. Just walk away.

"Hey, don't go, I haven't eaten enough yet." Some people stood up impatiently, summoning the cooks to stay and bake some for everyone.

The cooks shook their heads with a smile, and made a helpless gesture with both hands, which meant that there were only so many meat skewers, and they had already been roasted for everyone.

Now everyone is finally a little unhappy. It’s okay if you don’t taste the taste. Now that you have just tasted this spicy taste, there is nothing left. How can you be happy? Turn your head, look at He Jiaan and beg quickly: "Master He, please do me a favor. Do you still have the meat skewers just now? Otherwise, everyone can buy them for some money. As long as you can manage enough, you can do whatever you want."

This is the effect I want, He Jiaan stood up with a smile, raised his hand to signal everyone to be calm, and then asked: "Everyone, what do you think of the taste of this meat skewer?"

"good to eat."

"Spicy enough."

"One more time."

There were different opinions for a while, but there was only one central meaning, that is, the taste of the mutton skewers was really good.

He Jiaan naturally understands the thoughts of those who have just tasted the mutton skewers. Let alone two skewers, ten or eight skewers are not enough for them to eat. There are about eight or ninety people here. Sheep are not enough for them to eat.

So I prepared such a little bit, the purpose is to hook everyone's greedy bugs out.

Just when He Jiaan was about to make up some stories about this chili pepper for everyone to hear, a person suddenly stood up in the crowd, waved at He Jiaan and said, "Master He, Duan Futian, who eats and eats, has a little thing I want to do right now." Discuss with you."

Uh?
