Chapter 457 Unexpected Visitor
Chapter 457 Unexpected Visitor
Seeing that the soup was almost cooked, Shen Huazheng asked someone to take out the seasoning packet from the pot, and then put the blanched fish into the pot.
When the soup in the pot boils again, remove it from the heat immediately.
Shen Huazheng smelled the aroma lingering on her nose, and looked at the soup pot full of ingredients and milky white soup.
"It's time to eat. Let's go have lunch."
This pot of soup is simply the essence of the essence. When we eat later, everyone will have to drink a bowl of soup first.
Princess Lejia responded immediately: "Okay!"
It was finally cooked, and she couldn't help it.
Zhou Ying reviewed all the steps of making the fish and mutton hotpot in her mind again, then followed Shen Huazheng and Princess Lejia out of the kitchen.

In the Northwest Military Camp, General Xie was entertaining a guest who moved and surprised him.
The teapot was placed on the charcoal fire, with hot mist rising up.
General Xie picked up the teapot and poured the tea into the cup.
"Although this case is somewhat special, there is no need for the great Dali Temple Minister to travel all the way from the capital to investigate it."
Ning Yu, the Dali Temple Minister, smiled faintly, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"We are just investigating a case. There is no such thing as far or near. Besides, your majesty has handed this case over to the Dali Temple for handling. Naturally, I have no reason to refuse."
When Emperor Jingning learned about a series of strange events that had occurred in Pingyu Town and the post station, he felt that this matter was not simple.
Later, Shen Zhaonian and Marquis Wenxin entered the palace one after another and told all the secrets they knew.
Emperor Jingning attached great importance to this matter and ordered the Dali Temple to investigate it as soon as possible.
Ning Yu came to the northwest this time just to find out the truth.
They first rushed to Kangle County and obtained the case file of the missing persons in Pingyu Town from the county magistrate.
After conducting some investigation locally, they followed the clues all the way to Yuzhang County.
General Xie raised his eyes and glanced at Ning Yu.
Haha, still pretending.
Having known him for so many years, he knew this man's character very well.
Even if His Majesty asked the Dali Temple to investigate the matter, Ning Yu would not have to rush to the northwest. He could just send a few subordinates.
His presence in the Northwest now proves that he actively sought it.
Perhaps, Your Majesty did not think of sending the Dali Temple to the northwest to investigate the case at the beginning.
Maybe even the opportunity was snatched from other departments.
General Xie also took a sip of tea, his expression becoming more serious: "You came to see me, it seems that my worries at that time were not unnecessary."
Although Ning Yu is too lazy to do anything, he is more serious and reliable than anyone else when it comes to investigating cases.
The people from the Dali Temple came all the way from Pingyu Town to Yuzhang County, which proves that there are clues pointing to this place.
Or maybe the suspect has already arrived in Yuzhang County.
Yuzhang County is different from Leping Town. It is the border junction between Daliang and Chen State.
If Yuzhang County were to fall into chaos, the consequences would be disastrous.
Ning Yu put down the teacup, neither hurried nor slow.
"Brother Xie, don't worry. Since His Majesty sent us here, he must have made all the necessary preparations."
General Xie was stunned and asked in a low voice: "Could it be that His Majesty has other arrangements besides you?"
Ning Yu raised his eyebrows: "This matter is of great importance, I can't disclose it easily. When the time comes, Brother Xie will know."
General Xie: ...
Here I go again, I always like to keep you in suspense.
However, thinking that Emperor Jingning had already made comprehensive arrangements, General Xie was no longer so worried.
Fortunately, Your Majesty is not the kind of tyrant who only cares about sensual pleasures and a life of luxury.
As soon as they received the report from the Ministry of War, they attached great importance to it and sent people.
Otherwise, I really don’t know what kind of trouble will happen next.
After returning to the base, General Xie still felt a little scared when he occasionally recalled the appearance of Wang Zhao when he saw him in the post station.
Fortunately, only Wang Zhao came in at that time. If a group of people came...
Just can't imagine.
General Xie collected his thoughts and looked up at Ning Yu.
"Since you have come all the way to the northwest and are exhausted, I will treat you to a good meal today."
Ning Yu suddenly became interested: "What to eat?"
He knew that he would be able to find delicious food here.
Because the case was urgent, they hurried on their journey after leaving the capital.
After arriving in the northwest, I continued to investigate cases. Every time I found a clue, I had to rush to the next place.
I haven't had many decent meals along the way.
Now the case is finally making some progress and there is no need to run around following clues.
Ning Yu naturally hoped to comfort his stomach.
General Xie: "Of course, what I'm treating you to is good food. I'm taking you to have barbecue today."
Ning Yu's face lit up: "Roasted lamb?"
He had heard that Ru'an's mutton was delicious, but he had never had the chance to try it before.
General Xie laughed twice: "In addition to roasted lamb, there is also roasted lamb sausage. This is not available in the capital."
Mutton is secondary, the main thing is mutton sausage.
Ning Yu was a little confused: "Roasted sheep intestines? Do you mean roasting the sheep intestines?"
If it were in the past, he would definitely think that sheep intestines were something pickled and dirty and could not be eaten.
It is even more impossible to use them as food.
But after having tasted all kinds of hotpot, duck blood vermicelli and other delicacies in the food street, Ning Yu can now eat all kinds of offal without changing his expression.
Since I have already eaten duck intestines and goose intestines, it doesn’t seem so difficult to accept lamb intestines now.
I just don’t know what lamb intestines taste like, and whether they are very different from duck intestines and goose intestines.
Also, the duck and goose intestines that I had eaten in the food court before were either eaten with hot pot.
Or it is cooked in duck blood vermicelli with other ingredients.
But this time the lamb intestines were roasted just like the lamb.
Ning Yu had eaten grilled lamb skewers and grilled lamb legs when he was in Beijing.
I even ate a whole roasted lamb.
But he has never eaten grilled lamb intestines!!
I don’t know if roasted lamb intestines are the same as roasted lamb, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Wow, how delicious it would be if sprinkled with cumin.
General Xie frowned slightly and said, "What sheep intestines? I mean mutton sausages. It means stuffing mutton into sheep intestines."
Although only one word is missing, the meaning is completely different.
Ning Yu's face was filled with joy. The sheep intestines were actually stuffed with mutton! !
How delicious does it taste?
He knew that there was something delicious hidden here!!
General Xie paused and added, "In fact, this sheep intestine is not only not available in the capital, but also in the entire Yuzhang County, only I have it."
This mutton sausage was sent by Shen Huazheng two days ago as a return gift for the food sent to General Xie.
In addition to mutton sausage, there are also some snacks.
When General Xie received these return gifts, he was extremely happy. These foods could not be bought with money.
If it weren't for his friendship with Ning Yu over the years, he would not be willing to share it.
Ning Yu understood. In the whole Yuzhang County, only Old Xie had it, so it must have been given by Lord Shen.
I have to accept it, Mr. Xie is really in for a treat.
Eat all the way from the capital to the northwest.
With Lord Xiao Shen around, Old Xie and the others must have had a lot of delicious food on the road.
Thinking of the food he had barely eaten to fill his stomach along the way, Ning Yu felt both envious and jealous.
It’s true that people with the same fate have different fates.
Humph, he’s going to give Old Xie a good meal later.
Only then can I relieve the hatred in my heart!!
