[Sherlock Holmes] Captured a detective

Chapter 39

When Sherlock and John came back, the first thing they smelled was the scent that filled the room.

"Is Mrs. Hudson all right?" That was John's first thought.

"It seems to be." Sherlock threw the coat on the hanger, turned and entered the living room on the first floor.

Cosette was obediently lying on the big table and copying the first volume of "Encyclopedia Britannica" (kindly provided by Sherlock). When she saw two men coming in, she straightened up and whispered hello: "Mr. Holmes, Hua Doctor, you are back."

"It smells so good, Cosette, what are you cooking?" John rubbed his hands and poured himself a cup of hot water.

"Another bird."

"Is Mrs. Hudson all right?" John continued.

"I think you can ask her this question yourself." Sherlock raised his chin as a gesture, and then John saw that Jenny was sleeping soundly on the recliner in front of the fireplace covered with a blanket.Her face was a little rosy under the heat of the fire, but her lips were frighteningly white, without a trace of blood.

"...we'd better keep our voices down," John said in a low voice.

When Jenny woke up, it was almost dark, and Fantine would naturally cook today's supper.This girl really has no talent for cooking. Even under Jenny's training, she can only break away from the identity of a dark cook under Jenny's on-site guidance. Fortunately, Jenny woke up in time.

"What else can I eat?" After drinking a glass of honey water to replenish energy, Jenny stood up wrapped in the scarf Cosette handed over.

"Uh... There's still a lot of bread, chicken soup, potatoes and cabbage. I still have some carrots and peppers I bought two days ago. I've already peeled the potatoes. I can have mashed potatoes." Because these two dishes are the most popular now Cheap, Fantine thought.

"Can I make potato gnocchi and salad, and is there any meat?" Jenny really wants to eat something delicious now.

"And a little pork," said Fantine, after a moment's thought.

"That's enough, let's eat barbecue pies, chop up the meat, and wash the dishes." Jenny began to direct.

Peel off the old leaves of the cabbage, wash the young leaves and set aside.

Wash the carrots and peppers and cut them up for later use.

Boiled and mashed potatoes, sautéed with fennel, mushrooms and diced bacon, then mashed potatoes mixed with these, formed into little balls and breaded.

Cut the raw potatoes into slices and soak them in water with some salt.

Finally, the meat, all cut into mashed meat, add mashed potatoes, diced apples, diced pears and diced mushrooms, then mix with rosemary rice, salt, onion and other seasonings, and finally use an empty can to make two large round cakes and two biscuit shapes.

The first is the potato balls. When the oil is heated to about [-] or [-] degrees, put it down slowly, fry it until golden brown, remove it and filter the oil.Just smelling it makes people very appetizing.

Jenny used a frying pan to heat up slowly, and then put in the meatloaf. The meatloaf slowly began to make a "sizzling" sound. It took about five or six minutes to fry the pan on one side before turning over and frying on the other side.You must use a small fire, otherwise it will burn easily.Jenny is very good at making meatloaf. Fantine has tried many times, but either the taste is not right or the heat is not good enough.

While Jenny was frying patties, Sherlock and John, who had gone out again, came back.John smelled the fragrance and walked into the kitchen. He was startled when he saw a man in men's clothing standing in front of the stove with Fantine. Oily Fume" on the turban to recognize who it was.

"It smells so good. I have a good meal tonight. It's a pity, Holmes. You always don't like to eat when you have a case." John deliberately ran on Sherlock.

Sherlock gave John a very meaningful look: "The case doesn't have long legs, but Watson, if you don't control your diet, you will have to redo all your summer clothes."

John: "Wh... what..." Is it agreed to hit someone in the face?You don't plan to play together anymore, do you? = Mouth =

Sherlock: Want to monopolize, no doors, no windows.

While complaining to each other, the two consciously washed their hands and sat at the dining table waiting for the meal.In the kitchen, Jenny is doing the last process. She filters out all the impurities in the chicken soup.

After simmering for two and a half hours, except for the dried mushrooms, everything else in the chicken broth, including chicken and chicken bones, almost melted into the soup.According to Jenny's intention, I don't want to tell the difference between chicken and garlic, but Cosette stood by the table and watched the head of the pot drooling... Jenny filtered the bottom of the pot into a large bowl, put Some salt was passed to Cosette, and Cosette ate it with joy until her hands and face were covered with oil...Forget it, those chicken bones should be used as calcium supplements.

The staple food is pasta, cook the dry noodles in a few minutes, pour a spoonful of chicken oil skimmed from the chicken soup, the aroma will come out immediately, the smell is unbearable, add a few pieces of mushrooms, mix with a little sesame sauce and diced carrots , a little black pepper rice is sprinkled on top.

The croquette is everyone's favorite, but Jenny rarely makes it, and she always finds it too oily.Put the meatloaf on a pasta plate, and Jenny and Fantine came out with a plate of noodles and a bowl of salad each. In order to prevent some people from being picky eaters, it is necessary to allocate a bowl of salad to each person.

"Are you going out again this afternoon?" Jenny put down the plate and asked casually.

"Oh, yes, Sheriff Lestrade is here. There is a case." John rubbed his hands and couldn't help taking a deep breath, "Oh my god, it smells so good."

"Half the case..." Sherlock interjected, "Lestrade's mind is really getting worse and worse. He turned a blind eye to such obvious clues. Fortunately, I made a special trip. It's not worth it at all. Five points at most." No, it's actually only four points." Sherlock complained dissatisfiedly, and then he raised his voice, "Mrs. Hudson, why are there so many carrots in my bowl of salad? It's not fair!"

Jenny: "You can exchange a bowl with Dr. Watson, he has more green peppers."

Sherlock shut up immediately.

Jenny put the pasta without anything in the chicken broth, and then stirred it. All the essence melted into the soup. It was delicious without even adding salt. She filled a bowl of soup for everyone, and the rest The soup is all hers—the chicken soup was originally made for herself.

"This soup is so good, I feel like I'm going to swallow my tongue." John said exaggeratedly.

Because it is a dish rather than a dessert, the potato dumplings are salty. Jenny brought out potato dumplings and mashed potatoes, and she also fried a vinegar potato, and the potatoes are like potatoes...

"I really hope there is a farm, at least I can add something to the dishes, it's always potatoes..." Jenny felt a little tired of eating potatoes. It's so wonderful to have a farm, and I want to eat whatever~ I feel so turbulent when I think about it ~

"Potatoes are pretty good too. With Mrs. Hudson's skillful hands, I don't feel bored at all." John said sweet words in a serious manner, and Sherlock couldn't understand how this man could say such... cheeky words casually (Jenny: Would you like one if you can?).

In fact, potatoes still occupy a very important position in European history. When there is not enough food, it is usually used as a staple food by the poor. Many people’s lunch is as simple as a potato with salt, but... there is absolutely Not including Jenny.

"If only I could buy a piece of land in the countryside next to London, I could hire someone to plant it for me, I just go there once a week... once a month, and then I decide what to plant, and I don't need to plant a lot , just enough for us to eat. Dried vegetables in autumn can be eaten until February. By the way, now you can go to pick mushrooms and wild vegetables, which are the most tender time. You can also raise a few chickens and ducks. You can eat it in a month." Jenny's abacus was "popping", and the dream bubbles were visible to the naked eye.

However, there was a black wizard who liked to pop dream bubbles one by one with a long needle.

Sherlock wiped his mouth and picked up a long needle: "The land in the suburbs of London is basically controlled by nobles. It is not something that can be bought with money, and it is expensive. You can't afford it, Mrs. Hudson." Bo” He popped one bubble, then another. "It's unrealistic to hire someone to grow vegetables and eat them yourself. It's better to go to Zhuangzi to buy ready-made vegetables when they are harvested. It's feasible to pick mushrooms, but this kind of spring outing..." Before he finished speaking, Zhan Ni finished the soup in the bowl in one gulp, stood up without saying a word, and went to the kitchen to fill another bowl.

Sherlock asked John suspiciously: "...what did I say wrong?" He was very pragmatic.

John gave Sherlock a sympathetic look. A low EQ can't hurt him, and a high IQ can't make up for it. "I say, Holmes, you're not going to court Mrs. Hudson, are you?"

Sherlock paused for a moment, then asked strangely: "Watson, which sentence of mine reminded you of this association?"

John: "I think Mrs. Hudson is very nice, although she was married... No, that's not what I want to say, I mean, if you want to pursue her, you don't have much hope like this."

Sherlock opened his mouth and was about to say something when Jenny came out with a bowl, and the two men immediately ended the topic.

"Anyone else want soup..."

Jenny blinked, feeling that the atmosphere among the men was weird. "Did something happen that I don't know about?" Jenny asked.

Sherlock and John answered in unison: "No."

"Okay." Jenny sat down and began to eat the dried mushrooms in the soup.

Sherlock hesitated, he wanted to know what John meant by that sentence, but Jenny came out and interrupted the conversation, he missed the moment, so he wanted to bring the conversation back... This is not his forte.

Sherlock: "So... when are we going to play in the country?"

John: "..."

Jenny: "..."

John covered his face silently. Having a roommate with low EQ is really tiring. John felt that it was necessary to help the roommate.

John: "Well, Mrs. Hudson is very handsome in men's clothing. When I first entered, I thought it was a young man in the kitchen... But why are you suddenly wearing men's clothing today?"

Jenny: "..."

Sherlock: "..."

#My tenant is a fool#

#Where did these two idiots come from? #

#Today is not a good day#

Jenny stood up, "Today's dessert is rum cheesecake." As soon as she left, John asked Sherlock in a low voice, "What? Did I say something wrong just now?"

Sherlock glanced at John: "Let's put it this way, if you want to pursue Mrs. Hudson... it may be hopeless."

John: "..." Enough!
