NOVEL NEXT Chapter 88 Vegetarian Squid
At the dinner table, Mr. Peng from Baochang Bank, his wife, and Yuying couple came to Liuxiang Snacks. As soon as they sat down, their second uncle Liu Yongde and Mr. Gao noticed that something was wrong with their son-in-law.
"Mom, I see why this son-in-law is a little stupid, why didn't Yuying tell us."
"Stop talking, just focus on eating today!"
After three rounds of drinking, Mr. Peng was so happy that he became a little incoherent.
He raised his cup and said to Shu Xi, "Shopkeeper Ah Shu, I have a nephew who is both talented and handsome. How about I be the matchmaker to bring you together?"
Mrs. Peng pulled Mr. Peng back to her seat and said, "Master, you drank too much! You are still young, why did you make your own decision?"
"How can I make my own decisions? I don't want my wealth to go to outsiders, hahahaha!"
Everyone burst into laughter, and Mao Xi lowered his head in embarrassment. He hoped that Capt. Zhang could find the evidence quickly and give them both the stolen goods and the stolen goods.
Mu Zhiyuan sat on the table, put a squid into a bowl, and said to Master Peng, "Master Peng, can you tell what the squid in our Liuxiang snack is made of?"
Only then did Mr. Peng notice the fried squid in his mouth. It was crispy and fragrant, but not sticky like squid.
He picked up the squid and observed carefully. The squid's blades were uniform and there was nothing unusual about them.
Mao Xi also picked up a piece of squid and said to the people at the table: "This squid is not a real squid. It is a vegetarian dish I made with gluten. Let's try it again!"
"In this way, this squid is indeed different from ordinary ones."
“I didn’t expect that Ah Miao’s cooking skills are so good. He can make gluten taste like seafood.”
Even the stepmother Ke Shi and the second aunt Gao Shi, who were usually at odds with Ma Xi, had to admire Ma Xi's cooking skills. It's no wonder that her snack shop is booming.
Mu Zhiyuan continued: "Shopkeeper Peng, although this vegetarian dish is called stir-fried squid, it can't be fake, and it can't be fake!"
Shopkeeper Peng heard the implications of Mu Zhiyuan's words and was a little worried about his own counterfeiting den, so he prepared to return home with his family.
Mao Xi quickly stood up to stop her. She asked Lou Lan'er to serve two more vegetarian dishes, letting everyone at the table guess what ingredients were used to make them.
"These two dishes are "Pineapple Sweet and Sour Pork" and "Vegetarian Braised Pork", and all the ingredients used are vegetarian! "
Everyone tasted it one after another. Mrs. Peng usually ate a lot of vegetarian food, but she had never tasted such a fake vegetarian dish.
"Miss Ah Miao, this braised vegetarian dish is made of winter melon, right?"
Mao Xi nodded: "Madam, you have good eyesight. This vegetarian braised pork is made from diced winter melon."
The winter melon needs to be fried until brown, then add sugar and stir-fry until the color turns brown. Add soy sauce, oyster sauce and water and simmer over low heat to reduce the juice.
Mrs. Peng took another piece of pineapple sweet and sour pork, took a bite of the vegetarian meat and asked, "Is this meat also vegetarian?"
"Exactly. Madam, can you tell me what ingredients are used instead?"
Mrs. Peng shook her head.
"This is Hericium erinaceus fried in batter, replacing pork." Mao Xi said.
"Wonderful! I usually eat fast and worship Buddha. Vegetarian food is often bland. This dish is sweet and sour and appetizing, so it is just right."
"Amitabha!" Monk Wen Yuan stood outside the door at some unknown time, "I heard that there are vegetarian dishes here, so I came here today to make a vegetarian meal!"
Ma Xi and Mrs. Chen wanted to invite Monk Wen Yuan into the shop, but Monk Wen Yuan refused.
Mao Xi gave Monk Wenyuan a spoonful of vegetarian squid, vegetarian sweet and sour pork, and vegetarian braised pork.
"That's good, that's good!" Monk Wen Yuan loaded up the food and left.
"True is also false, and false is also true, hahaha..." Before Monk Wen Yuan could get far, Captain Zhang and several government servants had already surrounded Liuxiang Snacks.
"Shopkeeper Peng, you're all right, how do you explain these 'Jiaozi'?"
After saying that, he threw the counterfeit banknotes he found on the table.
"Yeah, yeah! This is not a family banquet, you are just setting up a Hongmen Banquet for separation..." Knowing that his crime had been exposed, Shopkeeper Peng collapsed to the ground in fear.
Before they finished speaking, Mr. Peng and Mrs. Peng were taken to the Yamen by the Yamen servants.
The second uncle Liu Yongde and his wife finally realized that their in-laws had committed the crime of beheading. They knelt down in front of Capt. Zhang and said, "My little daughter was robbed and married. She has nothing to do with this case. I hope you will investigate!"
Zhang Captou helped Liu Yongde up and said: "Thanks to Miss Yuying this time, we successfully found the engraving of his private seal and a large number of fake jiaozi in Peng's house."
"Ayu, go home with your mother today and don't go back to the Peng Mansion again! I will return those betrothal gifts to the Peng Mansion another day."
Ayu was pulled over by Mrs. Gao, and young master Peng hurriedly shouted: "Beautiful sister, don't you want me anymore?"
Yuying ordered the maids around her to take Master Peng Sha back to the house, and she came to Shui Xi and said, "Ah Shu, it's really thanks to you this time that I was able to escape from Peng's house."
"I'm also cooperating with Agent Zhang's arrangements. Just hope you're fine."
Gao and Ke were silent on the side. They were used to scolding Shu Xi's family, but now they were suddenly asked to thank her. They couldn't accept it for a while.
Liu Wang said from the side: "Let's go! Go back to the village and be embarrassed here!"
Kaitang County, shopkeeper Qian's house.
Shopkeeper Qian heard that Shopkeeper Peng of Baochang Bank had been caught, and that he had falsified his personal seal at home, and everyone had gained. He happily called his two sons to him.
"Shopkeeper Peng's bank has been banned. There will be no bank in Lihua Town from now on. Our bank's business will definitely get better and better in the future!"
The eldest son: "Dad, your gold ingot is still not found!"
Second son: "Why don't I go and call Capt. Zhang again? Since he can solve the counterfeiting case of Baochang Bank, it will be a piece of cake to find our stolen gold ingot."
Shopkeeper Qian raised his hand and hit his two sons on the head: "You two just stare at the gold ingot. You are short-sighted. If you lose the ingot, just lose it! Never mind it, just do business well in the future and earn it back!" "
Just as Zhang Captou was talking, he came to Qian Mansion to have a drink with the shopkeeper Qian, carrying a pound of pig head meat.
"Hahaha! Shopkeeper Qian is in good health lately!"
Shopkeeper Qian drove his two sons away and said, "You guys go back to your room first, I want to catch up with Zhang Captou!"
Zhang Captou sat down, poured a glass of wine for Shopkeeper Qian, and said, "Mr. Qian, I toast you this glass. Thanks to the clues you provided, I went to the Peng Mansion to review and found evidence that he secretly printed a fake friend!"
It turned out that on that day, shopkeeper Qian saw that Zhang Captou seemed to give up on tracing the Peng Family Bank, so he reported to Zhang Captou that he was eating in a restaurant when he overheard two young men from the Peng Family Bank making drunken remarks about them. The bank can not only cast gold itself, but also print jiaozi.
In order to avoid suspicion, he asked the government to investigate under the pretext that the ingot was lost.
Shopkeeper Qian took a sip of wine and his face turned red: "Captain Zhang is still very good at catching the man named Peng for us people. I have long disliked him!"
"Then... Shopkeeper Qian, are the ten gold ingots you lost really lost?" Agent Zhang whispered in Shopkeeper Qian's ear.
"Shhh! If it's lost, it's lost. There's no need to look for Zhang Captou anymore. Everything will be well with the family, hahaha!"
Zhang Captou understood this and responded to Shopkeeper Qian.
The two brothers who were lying at the door and eavesdropping returned angrily.
"In the end, the gold ingot was still not found. What a bad luck!"
Late at night, shopkeeper Qian was alone in his room. Seeing that his family members were all asleep, he secretly climbed out of bed and opened the bed board. There was a jewelry box inside. He had already replaced the jewelry with gold ingots.
Shopkeeper Qian touched his precious gold ingot and murmured to himself: "My baby, I can finally sleep peacefully. Those two prodigal sons have been staring at you all day long, forcing me to write a will! It's just right now, no one can argue. No grabbing, hehe..."
