It seemed that he knew only so much, so Li Mo did not continue to ask further questions.
Calculating the time, the iron pot had been boiling for more than half an hour. Liu Ziping pinched off his cigarette butts and soaked the ten raw eggs he prepared in warm water for a while, then slowly heated the water. After a few minutes, he boiled the eggs. Take it out and put it in an iron pot to cook.
"Other boiled eggs are made by putting raw eggs and cold water together, adding seasonings and boiling them directly. But I boil the cooking water first and then add the raw eggs, so that the egg whites solidify quickly and the egg core does not look old."
The cooking method is really different.
The eggs boiled for about five minutes. Liu Ziping took out ten of them and dried them. He also took down the large iron pot and let them cool down.
"When the water is hot, crack the egg shells evenly and soak them in warm water. You can taste them after an hour."
All Liu Ziping ordered was meat. In addition to four dishes, one soup and rice, he also ordered a box of Erguotou.
"Do you drink, little boss?"
"Two glasses. I'm too drunk. Drink it yourself."
Liu Ziping drank a small cup of Erguotou in one sip and ate less food. He was mainly greedy for alcohol and had stopped drinking for many days.
The food was mediocre, and Li Mo lost his appetite after eating whatever he wanted. He was really looking forward to the spiced eggs.
It took almost an hour and a half to get the finished five-spice eggs out of the pan. Li Mo peeled one open and smelled the taste. Sure enough, it was the same. When he took a bite, his mouth was filled with aroma.
"How's it going, little boss?"
"Nothing to say, I'll pay you now."
"The little boss is also a cheerful person, and he will tell you a meal for free. If the weather is hot, make the five-spice eggs, cut them into slices, and put them in the refrigerator. The taste will be better."
"Thanks."
The balance was received smoothly, and Liu Ziping's old face was all smiles.
"Xiaojun, did you buy that useless thing? You can't make a few thousand dollars by taking it to the Magic City to resell it. It's too troublesome."
"Just make a little money."
Chen Xiaojun smiled innocently.
"Little boss, that antique is quite heavy, please help him buy it." Liu Ziping still has a good impression of Chen Xiaojun, after all, he paid a real three thousand yuan.
"I'm worried about this small amount of money, but it has no future, so I'll help you carry it."
Li Mo muttered a few words, but Liu Ziping despised him.
A box truck stopped on the side of the road. Li Mo and Chen Xiaojun carried the second gold gong into the truck. He warned: "Keep the brown bear, and the others will go back to Beijing together and hand this thing over to Zhu from Beijing University." professor."
"Yes, boss."
After the truck drove away, Li Mo carried the travel bag behind him and walked towards Caowan Mountain.
"Boss, do you still want to climb a mountain?"
"Instead of climbing, just walk a few more laps along the lake path to relax. Once you get back to Beijing University, you will have a lot of homework. It won't be so easy to come out again." Li Mo asked as he walked, "Who gave you the code name? ?”
"It was originally a game, and we drew lots. My name is brown bear, Xiaojun is called Laolang, and there are eagles, cobras, leopards and crocodiles. We are used to calling them in the army, so we just keep calling them like this. Me, eagle and cobra. Both are scouts, and Leopard and Crocodile are good at hidden sniping.”
"Are you talking to someone?"
"I went on a blind date in my hometown at the beginning of the year, but I worked in Kyoto and looked down on a rough guy like me."
"Listen to what you mean, do you like this person?" Li Mo glanced at him and said with a smile, "In the future, you will also work in Kyoto. When you have time, you can find people to eat and chat with them. Maybe you will still have a chance. Yes. By the way, what kind of job does she do in Kyoto?"
"I seem to be working as a salesperson in a shopping mall. I didn't know the details. They didn't like me. How could I shamelessly go out and make an appointment with them?"
"Treat her as the enemy's fortress. All you have to do is try your best to conquer that fortress. If you do, you will win."
"Then let me try?"
Li Mo shrugged, "You're not afraid of fighting, so why are you afraid of chasing women?"
Caowan Lake is not very big, measuring 300 meters from east to west and more than 500 meters from north to south. Li Mo stood by the lake and looked around. He was looking at where the lake and the mountain might be connected.
"Brown Bear, let's go for a walk over there."
There is a three-meter-wide road between the lake and the mountain, and then a plank road is built along the lake. There are lotuses, aquatic plants and the like in the lake. The water is clear. You can see small fish swimming around while walking on the plank road.
Li Mo walked slowly, his eyes constantly scanning, but unfortunately he didn't see anything unusual until he reached the end of the road.
Floods have come, droughts have come, and the land has changed for nearly a hundred years. The lake and ditch in the story that passed through the heart of the mountain have long since disappeared.
Li Mo even had a guess as to whether the two golden gongs in the Liu Family Courtyard were taken out of Hugou, otherwise the story would be too precise.
"Brown Bear, you are a scout. If I tell you that there once was a lake that passed under Caowan Mountain, do you have a way to determine the direction of that lake?"
The brown bear thought for a while, then looked at the lake in front of him and said: "Since there is a lake passing through the bottom of the mountain, there is an entrance and an exit. We can walk along the foot of the mountain to see if we can find one of them."
This was a good suggestion. Li Moguang wanted to find clues at the junction of the lake and the mountain, but he forgot that there was another direction where he might also be able to find clues, or that could confirm something.
"Then let's take a walk around the mountain and have fun."
Li Mo remembered that when he looked out from the top of Caowan Mountain yesterday, one side was Caowan Lake, a food street, and a tourist service area, while the other side was farmland, with an irrigation canal extending from the foot of the mountain into the distance.
If there is a lake passing through the bottom of the mountain, then the irrigation canal on the opposite side may be an 'mouth'.
It took half an hour for the two of them to walk around and get to the other side of the mountain. They were standing on the bank of an irrigation canal. This canal is ten meters wide and I don't know how deep it is. There are several clear warning signs erected on the shore, saying 'no entering the water' and 'no swimming'.
The end of the irrigation canal is at the foot of the mountain, so to get to the other side, you have to go around a stone bridge 300 meters away.
"Boss, should we go around and take a look again?"
"No need, let's go back to the hotel."
Just now, Li Mo used his special pupils to penetrate underwater. He saw a wall made of cement at a depth of more than seven meters. The wall failed to block his vision, and behind him he saw a cave.
The story is not groundless. During the wars of the last century, the lake did pass through the mountainside to the other side. Later, a separate lake was formed there. There must have been a safety accident here, so a wall was poured to block the entrance, and Several warning signs were erected.
In the next three days, Li Mo visited the villages around Caowan Mountain. He mainly chatted with local elders and collected different information.
On the fourth day, Professor Zhu called him and urged him to return to Beijing immediately, because the treasure of the twelve-sided golden gong of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, had been confirmed. This caused a huge chain reaction, and as the core figure in this matter, the superior leader I want to interview him.
