The fire on the stove burned brightly.
The busy figure hummed an unknown happy tune.
The girl's mood was immediately revealed.
Not long after, a hint of fragrance came from the pot.
"Yeah. The heat is just right."
The girl smiled sweetly, with a satisfied smile on her face...
Just after returning to Guanyi, Chen Yutian smelled a hint of fragrance.
"smell good……"
"Well, it does smell good..." Gongsun nodded.
"This...this smell is...steamed eight-treasure fish, five blessings, eight-treasure rice...when did our chef at Guanyi have such skills?"
Huo Yuanji walked forward quickly.
Chen Yutian and Gongsun looked at each other speechlessly.
A true foodie.
This skill of smelling aroma and recognizing vegetables is really practiced...
Pushing open the door to the courtyard, what appeared in front of the three of them was this scene.
The stone table in the center of the courtyard was almost full of people at the moment.
Xue Tianhan, Wu Dongtian, Lin Dao, Lin Tao, Ling Miaoyin, Tang Fengling, Bai Fan, Tianying, and even Xuan Xi, who claimed to be in seclusion, were all there...
The stone table was filled with deliciously fragrant meals.
On the other side, Ice King, Yan Zun, Long Zun, Sword Master, and Liu Mu were sitting under the pavilion, with a lot of delicious food on the table in front of them.
The three of them were stunned for a moment.
What's going on?
Getting up early in the morning for a dinner party?
And, where did all this food come from?
"You are back."
Seeing Chen Yutian coming back, Xuan Xi immediately came up to greet him.
Chen Yutian was stunned.
This girl's aura is indeed much calmer than before. It seems that the retreat these days has been of some use.
only……
"Aren't you in seclusion? Why did you come out?"
"Who said you can't come out after seclusion?"
Xuan Xi glanced at him.
"Besides, this princess didn't come out on purpose. It was because..."
"Because of what?"
"Because it smells so good! It makes people no longer want to retreat."
Chen Yutian was speechless.
Is it because the food is so delicious that you can't help but walk out?
"By the way, what's going on with these meals? I don't remember that the cook in our hotel has such good cooking skills?"
"Hehe... you have to ask our Fire Sword Master about this."
Xuan Xi glanced at Huo Yuanji meaningfully.
"ask me?"
Huo Yuanji, who was staring at the food with fiery eyes, was slightly startled and pointed at himself.
"Uh-huh."
Xuan Xi nodded seriously.
"Stop joking, how could I know?"
Huo Yuanji waved his hand and smiled bitterly.
"No, this matter really has something to do with you."
At this time, Xue Tianhan suddenly spoke.
Huo Yuanji was stunned for a moment.
"real?"
"Have I ever lied to you?"
Xue Tianhan rolled his eyes slightly.
"But I don't know what's going on?"
Huo Yuanji looked confused.
"Brother Huo, do you still remember Miss Liu who you rescued from Shi Dongji on the night when you captured Hua Butterfly?"
Chen Yutian suddenly opened his eyes and said.
"I remember you once said that she is a female chef, right?"
"That's right."
Huo Yuanji nodded.
"You mean...she cooked all these meals?"
"As of now, that is indeed the case."
Gongsun looked ahead and nodded slightly.
Huo Yuanji was puzzled and looked forward as well.
In front of me, I saw Lin Feifei coming over with a plate of dishes.
Seeing Huo Yuanji, a smile suddenly appeared on her face.
"Come on, come on, this is the last dish of the day."
She put the dish she was holding on the table.
Suddenly a tantalizing fragrance hit my nostrils.
Everyone was shocked!
I saw a few round objects with bright buttery skin and a shape similar to ingots placed on the plate.
In the center of the plate is a carved white jade-like statue of the God of Wealth.
Looking at this thing, everyone at the dinner table couldn't help but sigh.
Is this a dish or a work of art?
Only Huo Yuanji's eyes lit up when he saw this dish! !
"To attract wealth! Do you know how to make this unique recipe?"
"To attract wealth?"
Everyone is confused.
"This is a world-class delicacy from Fuzhou. Choose five rare fish to make meat fillings and wrap them in dough. Then wrap the dough into an ingot shape and fry it in fresh oil."
“Because the fried Yuanbao dumplings are golden and shiny, they are also called Fortune Dumplings.”
"And the fortune dumplings paired with the God of Wealth statue carved from lotus roots have become this world-class product that attracts wealth!"
Huo Yuanji kept talking.
Lin Feifei's face showed a happy smile.
"Brother Huo, according to you...is this a dumpling?"
Lin Tao picked up a Yuanbao dumpling and looked curious.
"Of course. There are five kinds of seafood in it."
Huo Yuanji nodded, then picked up a Yuanbao dumpling, put it into his mouth, and tasted it carefully.
The moment the dumpling skin broke, Huo Yuanji's eyes suddenly lit up!
This fortune-enhancing dish tastes almost exactly the same as the one he had when he was in Fuzhou, and it's even better.
Others also moved their chopsticks at this time.
As soon as they took a bite, everyone was stunned. Then, one or two of them seemed to be possessed by hungry wolves, their eyes shining brightly.
A dozen pairs of chopsticks immediately clashed on the table.
"It's delicious, so delicious..."
"Don't grab it, this is mine..."
"My, my..."
A battle for food begins immediately.
Even Xue Tianhan, who has always been indifferent and aloof, joined this "war".
Sure enough, the power of food is extremely powerful...
Looking at the group of juniors next door scrambling for food, the Four Saints all looked at each other and smiled.
"This scene seems a bit familiar..."
Ice King smiled slightly.
"Didn't you guys do the same thing when you were in Tianji Mansion and robbed Sister Kitchen Saint's food?"
The sword master glanced at the three of them unhappily.
"Ha ha……"
Ice King smiled awkwardly.
"Tianxin, you don't want to accuse us. If the Kitchen Master hadn't always opened a small stove for you, a close friend who loves your sisters, I don't believe you wouldn't have snatched it?"
Long Zun took a sip of the fruit wine and smiled.
The sword master gave him a hard look.
"Speaking of which, the old woman has stopped cooking since that time. She doesn't know what she's been doing lately?"
Yan Zun's eyes revealed memories.
Hearing this, the Sword Master also sighed slightly.
"You still don't understand what my sister is thinking? She is obsessed with sword madness..."
Having said this, the expressions of Ice King, Yan Zun, and Long Zun all dimmed.
After a long time, Long Zun sighed.
"What a bad fate..."
…
After some devouring...
The food on the table was swept away. All that was left was a pile of empty plates.
Everyone else was content and smiling.
Only Huo Yuanji was slightly unhappy.
"Brother Huo, come with me."
At this time, Lin Feifei came over and pulled him away without any explanation.
The people who stayed behind looked at the two people's leaving figures. You looked at me and I looked at you. Everyone knew it.
In the back kitchen.
Lin Feifei pulled Huo Yuanji in.
"Miss Lin, what are you..."
Huo Yuanji was full of doubts. He didn't know what Lin Feifei was doing by bringing him here alone.
However, before he finished speaking, he was gently held down by Lin Feifei's jade finger.
"Don't call me Miss Lin. It's too intrusive. Just call me Feifei from now on..."
The girl said softly.
"Why is this so embarrassing?"
Huo Yuanji smiled sheepishly.
"What's the point of being embarrassed? Aren't we friends?"
Lin Feifei raised her eyebrows lightly.
Seeing the beauty like this, Huo Yuanji had no choice but to obey.
"Okay... Feifei... Feifei, why did you bring me here?"
"I know you like to enjoy delicious food slowly, so you must have been unhappy with the meal just now, right?"
Lin Feifei smiled sweetly.
Then he opened the steamer on the stove.
Huo Yuanji was shocked when he saw this!
I saw several kinds of food placed in the steamer. The aroma was so fragrant that people couldn't help but drool just by looking at it.
These dishes are exactly the delicacies that were on the table just now.
Unexpectedly, there was still a portion left in the steamer.
"This...this is..."
Huo Yuanji looked at the food in the steamer and was extremely surprised.
"I left this specially for you. I know that for you, it is absolutely impossible to be happy when you eat all the delicious food. So I left a special portion for you. These are all yours. You can Take your time and taste."
"this……"
Huo Yuanji looked at the girl and was slightly startled.
"Don't worry, these are freshly cooked and will not affect the taste."
Lin Feifei smiled.
Huo Yuanji was stunned for a long time, then suddenly smiled slightly,
"You are considerate...thank you..."
"No, don't get me wrong, I just want to repay you for saving my life that night."
The girl's pretty face blushed slightly.
"Ok, I know."
Huo Yuanji nodded, then picked up the chopsticks, picked up a Yuanbao dumpling and stuffed it into his mouth.
Then, his eyes suddenly lit up!
While chewing, he showed a satisfied smile.
Seeing his smile, Lin Feifei couldn't help but smile knowingly.
"Is it... delicious?"
She couldn't help but ask, her face turning even redder.
Huo Yuanji smiled.
"What you made yourself, you don't know the taste yet?"
"How would I know? I was just responsible for doing it. Have you ever tasted it yourself?"
The girl answered subconsciously.
Then, she froze.
In front of me, a golden and shiny Yuanbao dumpling appeared.
Behind the dumplings is a handsome face full of sunshine and smile.
"Since you haven't tasted it yourself, how can you know whether what you make is delicious?"
"This doesn't look like a qualified cook!"
Lin Feifei rolled her eyes slightly.
"It's up to you to take care of it! Besides, I'm a master of cooking, how can I be any worse at my craftsmanship?"
"Yes! Yes! My Miss Cooking God, can you try your hand at it now?"
Huo Yuanji smiled and moved the Yuanbao dumpling in his hand.
Lin Feifei's ears felt slightly hot and she opened her mouth gently.
Huo Yuanji smiled slightly, and then put the Yuanbao dumplings held with chopsticks into her mouth.
The moment the dumpling entered her mouth, Lin Feifei's face suddenly turned into a big red apple.
Huo Yuanji ate one himself, then picked up another and fed it to him.
Lin Feifei suddenly felt her face getting hot.
"You...this is..."
Huo Yuanji smiled faintly.
"I didn't see you eating anything just now, but you must have been hungry after cooking all morning..."
"I can't eat these things anyway, why don't I share some with you?"
"Come on, open your mouth."
With the last doting tone, Lin Feifei completely melted into this sentence.
She blushed and opened her mouth gently again.
"That's right..."
Huo Yuanji smiled slightly, then took another chopstick to himself, and then gave another chopstick to Lin Feifei.
"I...I'd better do it myself..."
Lin Feifei blushed and ran to the side to get a pair of chopsticks.
No matter how thick-skinned she is, she can't stop this guy from feeding him like this...
"Uh... this is good..."
Huo Yuanji said lightly and continued to put the food into his mouth.
However, when he saw Lin Feifei picking up chopsticks and eating food by herself, a hint of disappointment flashed through her eyes...
…
"What? Sir, you said that you have found evidence that can prove my son's innocence?"
Mother Liu looked at Chen Yutian in surprise.
Chen Yutian nodded slightly.
"Yes, Madam, the evidence we just found shows that the real time of death of the deceased was actually around Youshi. I wonder what your son was doing at that time?"
"Youshi..."
Mother Liu thought for a while, and her eyes flashed.
"From Shen time to around Xu time that day, Wall was studying at home and never went out."
"That's right."
"In this way, the son's alibi can be established."
Chen Yutian nodded slightly.
"Ah? Really? That's great! A common woman is here to kneel down and thank you for your great kindness."
Mother Liu said that she would kneel down and thank her.
Chen Yutian quickly helped her up.
"Auntie, please don't thank me in a hurry. Although we have found evidence proving your son's innocence, for the time being, we cannot let him out of prison. Please forgive me."
Mother Liu was surprised.
"Sir, why is this?"
Chen Yutian said: "I'm sorry I can't disclose the specific situation to you, but you can rest assured that we will reunite your mother and son soon."
Mother Liu nodded in understanding.
"My lord, I understand. Everything depends on you, my lord."
"Don't worry, I will do my best."
"In that case, I'll be waiting for the good news from you, please."
After that, Liu's mother left.
Xue Tianhan looked at Chen Yutian and asked.
"What did you find at Han Leng's house?"
"It's Bai Xiuxiu's corpse. The real corpse!"
Chen Yutian smiled slightly and took out the corpse from his arms.
"What? A real corpse?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Fan quickly took the corpse from Chen Yutian's hand.
After seeing it, his eyes became more solemn.
"According to what this corpse grid says, my cousin was actually killed during the Youshi period? Then who killed him and threw his body into the wilderness?"
Chen Yutian shook his head slightly.
"I don't know, but this matter is also the focus of our next investigation."
"Oh? What are you going to do?"
Bai Fan looked at Chen Yutian in surprise.
Chen Yutian smiled slightly.
"First investigate Bai Xiuxiu's whereabouts that day! See if we can find any clues..."
