Traveling through farming with the system, I cooked delicious food in ancient times

Back in Lihua Town, Mao Xi settled the woman in Liuxiang Snacks and went to Guanyun Bridge to find her cousin Yuying.

Yuying set up a stall there as always, selling embroidery products.

Second uncle Liu Yongde was worried that it would be unsafe for his daughter to set up a stall here alone, so he changed the breakfast stall into a snack stall and stayed with her.

The second uncle was shouting about his snack skewers: "We are selling skewers! We sell them for 5 cents each!"

"Second uncle, cousin." Mao Xi approached her cousin Yuying, "I just rescued a woman who fell into the water in the suburbs. She looked familiar to me. My cousin and she had been to the shop before. The girl was a little confused and threw herself into the river. , It seems that I have something to say to my cousin."

When Yuying heard about her former friend, she couldn't think about it anymore and left the stall to her second uncle to look after.

"Dad, I'm going to see my friend at the millet shop. I'll be back soon."

Yuying also took two skewers from her father's stall and handed them to Mao Xi.

"Amao, try my dad's cooking. The skewers haven't been selling well recently. Please give me some advice."

Mao Xi took a bite of the skewers. They were green pepper skewers. The spices were not marinated and the meat was a bit dry.

"Cousin, ask your uncle to cut the meat into thin slices. This way it will be more tender than the whole piece of meat. It's best to tap it with the back of a knife before grilling. The meat also needs to be marinated for a longer time. Only then can you taste it.”

Yuying silently took note of Mao Xi's suggestion. She had to admire her cousin's ability to open more and more restaurants, and cooking skills were the most important thing.

"Ah Shao, please walk slower and wait for me."

Yuying's little feet were bound and she was walking slowly, unable to keep up with Miao Xi.

Mao Xi stopped and looked at Yuying's little feet and asked, "Cousin, how many years have your feet been bound? Do your stepmother and aunt still let you have them bound? It's very inconvenient to work."

In the past, Yuying was raised in a boudoir by her stepmother and second aunt, learning embroidery and binding her feet, so that she could one day marry into a wealthy family.

Now Yuying has planned to start a small business on her own like Mao Xi. Her ladylike feet are shy and seem a bit out of place for workers.

Yuying smiled bitterly and said: "I've been bandaged since I was a child, and my feet can't grow much now. It's a bit troublesome to work and travel."

"Cousin, why don't you change into comfortable shoes? Don't be afraid of what others will say!"

"Ah Shao, I listen to you, it's time for me to change."

.

In the private room in the inner room of Liuxiang Snack Shop, a woman is holding a cup of hot tea, trembling and feeling restless.

Cousin Yuying came to the shop, and the woman threw herself into Yuying's arms and cried to her about her experience.

Yuying patted the woman's back gently and kept comforting: "Sister Ye, don't cry. It's all over. Why don't you report it to the official? I believe the villain will be caught."

Miss Ye hurriedly covered Yu Ying's mouth: "I can't do it, I absolutely can't do it. If this gets out, my innocence will be gone. How will I get married in the future..."

Hearing an idea from the side, Mao Xi also understood what happened to Miss Ye.

She woke up early this morning and found that her room had been broken into by criminals and she had also been violated.

"Miss Ye, since you don't want to report it to the official, do you want to catch the bad guy?"

Miss Ye nodded hurriedly: "This person is so bad, I really want to know who committed the crime, but if he is caught and reported to the official, then I will be asked to go to court to confront him, wouldn't it..."

Seeing that Miss Ye was still hesitant, Mao Xi encouraged: "How about this? Let's find a way to find the criminal first. As for how to deal with it, let Brother Mu tie up the criminal and hand over all the evidence to Capt. Zhang for disposal."

"As long as you don't expose me, I will listen to you."

Mao Xi called Mu Zhiyuan in and told him the whole story.

The two of them asked Ms. Ye for clues about this criminal.

Ma Xi: "Miss Ye, who was the first person you saw when you got up this morning?"

"It's my grandma."

"Did she know you were violated?"

Miss Ye nodded: "When Aniang finds out, she asked me to keep quiet."

"Besides your family, who was the last person you saw before going to bed?"

Miss Ye thought for a moment and said, "Sister Sang, after work yesterday, we went to a snack shop in the south of the city to have dinner together. It was still early, so she stayed to guide me in embroidery."

Ma Xi: "Sister Sang works in the same embroidery workshop as you?"

Miss Ye shook her head and looked at her cousin Yuying: "Aying, do you still remember? Before we embroidered garments, we were often scolded for our poor embroidery skills. I would practice alone whenever I had time.

I met Sister Sang by chance at a pavilion in Taoyuan. When she saw me doing embroidery, she started sparring with me. Her embroidery skills were much better than mine, and she often taught me. Over time, we became familiar with each other. "

"Can you take us to meet this Sister Sang you mentioned?" Mu Zhiyuan asked.

"I have never been to Sister Sang's house, but she often goes for walks in Taoyuan. Maybe I will meet her when I go to Taoyuan tomorrow."

Mao Xi: "Miss Ye, can you go to your bedroom and take a look? Maybe there will be some traces of the gangsters at the scene."

Miss Ye was surprised at first, and said with some regret: "Aniang was afraid that the matter would spread out and affect her reputation, so she reorganized the house early in the morning."

Seeing that Miss Ye no longer had any thoughts of committing suicide, Yuying got up and escorted her home.

Mao Xi stepped forward to follow, but she still didn't give up: "Miss Ye, I'll go back with you. Maybe I can find some useful clues in your house."

Miss Ye returned home with Mao Xi and Yu Ying. When Miss Ye's mother-in-law heard that she had jumped into the river, she hugged her and cried: "My miserable child, why are you so stupid?"

Mao Xi and Yu Ying came to Miss Ye's house. The aunt had rearranged the bed.

On the table is an unfinished piece of embroidery with a sprig of osmanthus embroidered on it.

The oil lamp is also normal and has not been tampered with.

"Miss Ye, do you still have the singlet you wore last night?"

"My mother-in-law took them to be washed, but the bedding and pillows were clean and were still the same as they were before."

Miss Ye pointed to the window sill, where there were scratches left on the window edge after stepping on it: "The bad guy should have ran out of the window."

"When did Miss Na Sang leave your house last night?" Shui Xi continued to ask Miss Ye.

"After dinner last night, Miss Sang discussed embroidery techniques with me in the room. I can't remember exactly when she left. I just remember that I was too sleepy and fell asleep on the table. My mother-in-law woke me up. Get up and go rest.”

As if she had some clues, Mao Xi turned to ask Auntie: "Auntie, did you see Miss Nasang visiting your home yesterday?"

"I didn't see Miss Sang here last night. My daughter, did you remember it wrong?"

Miss Ye tapped her temple and thought again: "I remember correctly! Why don't we ask Miss Na Sang tomorrow? Maybe she can help me remember some important clues."

Mao Xi looked under Miss Ye's bed and wardrobe again.

There is a jar under the bed filled with pickles. The clothes in the closet were hung neatly, exuding a faint scent of osmanthus.
