Chapter 162 Deadly Trap
In the evening, Jian Yue and Jiang Zeyuan sat opposite each other.
The dim light in the room illuminated the two people's solemn faces.
Jian Yue told Jiang Zeyuan everything about the thrilling experience that happened during the day.
After listening to this, Jiang Zeyuan's furrowed brows were like two deep ravines, and his gloomy face seemed like water could drip out.
He gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words: "It must be that big fish who did it. I will investigate thoroughly tomorrow!"
The next day, Jiang Zeyuan started the investigation with full determination.
But they didn't expect that before they got deeper, bad news came - the soldier who had transported the food had been brutally murdered.
Jiang Zeyuan was so angry that he punched the table hard, causing the objects on the table to jump.
"Shameless!" His eyes were blazing with fire and his chest heaving violently.
But the problem doesn’t end there.
Jiang Zeyuan found that every time he took a step forward to investigate, there seemed to be an invisible giant hand pulling and blocking him in secret.
As soon as a clue appeared, it was inexplicably interrupted and disappeared without a trace.
Some of the people he worked with were indifferent to the matter, some had an ambiguous attitude, and some even secretly tried to trip him up.
This series of anomalies made Jiang Zeyuan keenly aware.
The conspiracy behind this spy incident was like an intricate web, with its depth of involvement and sophistication far beyond his initial imagination.
Behind every seemingly ordinary detail, there may be hidden secrets and deadly traps.
As the end of the year approaches, Jian Yue and Jiang Zeyuan's home is filled with a strong festive atmosphere, and the air becomes festive.
"Honey, we have to dress up nicely for the New Year this year!" Jian Yue said to Jiang Zeyuan with a smile, her eyes full of anticipation for the New Year.
Jiang Zeyuan waved his hand and responded readily: "Of course, wife, I will listen to you!"
Jiang Zeyuan did it right away. He picked up the broom and started the cleaning journey with great vigor and enthusiasm.
Sweep from one end of the room to the other.
It was as if they wanted to treat every speck of dust as a class enemy and not let go of any corner.
The sunlight slipped in through the cracks in the window, and the dust that was raised jumped up and down in the light and shadow.
Beads of sweat soon appeared on Jiang Zeyuan's forehead, but he didn't care at all and was still humming a little tune.
In the kitchen, Jian Yue was busy preparing snacks for the New Year.
I started by making fried dough balls.
I saw her pouring glutinous rice flour into a basin, adding an appropriate amount of water, and kneading the dough quickly and accurately.
After a while, the dough becomes soft and elastic.
Next, pinch the dough into small pieces, roll them into balls, and press them gently, and the small pancakes will be very well-behaved.
The oil in the pan began to bubble, and Jian Yue carefully put the dough into the pan.
"Sizzle, sizzle!" As the dough entered the pan, it jumped for joy, expanded rapidly, and became golden and crispy.
Jian Yue held the chopsticks and flipped the dumplings left and right to make sure each one was heated evenly.
"Honey, come and try the fried dough fritters I made!" Jian Yue shouted at the top of her voice.
When Jiang Zeyuan heard this, he threw away the broom and rushed over in two steps without even bothering to wipe the dust off his hands.
Pick up a fried dough and take a bite.
"Oh my god, it's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, sweet and delicious, my wife, your cooking skills are simply amazing!"
Jiang Zeyuan gave a thumbs up while chewing, his mouth full.
Jian Yue smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into slits. "If it's delicious, eat more. There are also glutinous rice noodles!"
After saying that, he started making glutinous rice noodles without stopping.
First put the maltose into the pot and heat it to melt, then pour in the glutinous rice flour and stir.
After kneading the dough, roll it into a thin sheet and cut it into thin strips.
Fry the cut strips in oil.
Fry until golden brown, then remove from the oil.
Next, Jian Yue boiled syrup in another pot, put the fried glutinous rice strips in and stir-fried them so that each one was coated with syrup.
After a while, the crispy and delicious glutinous rice noodles came out of the pot.
Jian Yue picked up one and handed it to Jiang Zeyuan, "Try this!"
Jiang Zeyuan took the glutinous rice noodle and took a bite.
With a "crunch", the sweet taste spreads in your mouth.
"Wife, these glutinous rice noodles are so delicious, sweet but not greasy, and very crispy!"
Jian Yue raised her head and said proudly, "Of course not! This is my specialty!"
After preparing snacks, Jian Yue strolled into the yard.
Looking at the vegetables growing well in her own vegetable garden, she was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. "Honey, look at these vegetables, they are so green and fresh! We will use them to make vegetable and tofu soup tonight."
Jiang Zeyuan came over and looked at the green vegetable field. "Wife, what do you think? Your husband is good at growing vegetables, right?"
"Yes, very good!"
As the couple talked, they continued to prepare for the New Year.
Jian Yue put the prepared fried dough balls and glutinous rice noodles on a plate and brought it to the living room.
The golden color and tempting aroma make people drool at the sight.
"Wife, I'm so greedy just looking at these snacks." Jiang Zeyuan stared at the snacks and his hand reached out unconsciously.
"You should eat less, it's very irritating!" Jian Yue slapped his hand away and pretended to be angry.
"Hehe, it's so delicious that I can't help it." Jiang Zeyuan laughed and chewed.
Jian Yue shook her head helplessly, turned around and went back into the kitchen to prepare other things.
She actually makes a lot of everything.
Focus on one, make it once, and eat it for a month.
After cleaning, Jiang Zeyuan ran to the kitchen to help.
"Wife, let me help you."
"Okay, then wash these red dates and let's make red date cake." Jian Yue instructed.
Jiang Zeyuan was washing the red dates carefully. He saw the red dates rolling in the water and becoming fuller and redder.
Jian Yue removed the core of the washed red dates and steamed them in a pot.
The steamed red dates exude a rich sweet aroma.
Mash the red dates into fine paste.
Next, pour appropriate amounts of flour, sugar and water into a bowl, add the date paste, and start stirring vigorously.
After mixing evenly, pour the batter into the steamer and smooth it gently.
Jian Yue covered the pot and turned up the fire in the stove.
After a while, steam came out of the pot and the aroma of red date cake gradually spread.
"Wife, this red date cake smells so delicious!" Jiang Zeyuan said while sniffing.
"Don't be impatient. You have to wait a little longer." Jian Yue replied with a smile.
Finally, the red date cake was cooked. Jian Yue opened the lid of the pot, and the hot steam came to her face, bringing with it a sweet smell.
Take out the red date cake and cut it into small pieces. "Try this red date cake!"
Jiang Zeyuan took a piece and took a bite. "Mm, it's fragrant and sweet. Your cooking skills are amazing!"
Jian Yue's face was filled with a satisfied smile, "As long as it tastes good, eat more!"
Before they knew it, it was getting dark. The couple had been busy all day but didn't feel tired at all.
Seeing the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year getting closer and closer at home, my heart feels so happy and full of a sense of accomplishment.
