Chapter 56 Thousand Layer Cake (2)

Today's breakfast served by the public chef is mushroom and pork porridge with pancakes.

Liu Yuan sat in the lobby of the public kitchen, picked up a spoon and scooped a spoonful of pork porridge into his mouth. The glutinous rice was cooked soft and glutinous, and it melted in one sip. The pork meat had been processed somehow, and was extremely smooth and tender. It was mixed with the umami of mushrooms and was full of flavor.

.

After Liu Yuan scooped two spoons of meat porridge, he picked up the cake on the side. Master Wen heard that the name of this cake was thousand-layer cake. The cake was cut into fan-shaped pieces. When Liu Yuan looked at the cut surface of the cake, it was clearly visible.

There are layers in it, and if you count them roughly, there are at least seven or eight layers. The outside of the pancake is yellow and the inside is moist, and the brown sauce and chopped green onion can be faintly seen between the layers.

He paused and took a bite. The outermost layer was crispy and delicious, so crispy that crumbs splattered when he bit it, but the inside was soft, oily, and full of toughness. The most peculiar thing was that the layers inside were layered with texture.

The sauce mixed in between the pancakes he shared had never been such a strange sauce after all the years he had eaten in Chang'an City. It was spicy but not spicy, salty yet sweet, and the aroma was unique but particularly tantalizing.

.

Liu Yuan only took one bite and couldn't stop. When he came to his senses, there was only a small corner of the thousand-layer cake left in the bowl in front of him. He stuffed the small corner of the thousand-layer cake into his mouth, and then Liu Yuan

Still unfinished, he stood up and left the kitchen.

Returning to his seat, he concentrated on sorting out the files on the water ghost case. By the time the files were almost sorted, it was already approaching noon.

Liu Yuan moved his shoulders, stood up, and sent the compiled files to Lin Fei.

After Lin Fei checked it and found no doubt, he sent it to Zhao Mengzhuo, the minister of Dali Temple.

After running around for a while, it was already noon when he came out of Zhao Mengzhuo's place. Liu Yuan looked at the sun that had risen above his head and thought about the water ghost case. He didn't have any cases at hand. When he had a few days to spare, he was ready to go

Ask Bai Zhu and the others to go outside for lunch.

This Master Sun’s lunch really has nothing to look forward to.

When I walked to the office lobby under the sun, before I could even enter the room, I bumped into Bai Zhu and his gang of officers who were hurriedly approaching.

Watching this battle, Liu Yuan's heart skipped a beat, thinking that there might be another case!

Sure enough, when he saw him, Bai Zhu said: "Liu Yuan, you came just in time. Lin Shaoqing was also looking for you. There is a case!"

Now, before he had finished his lunch, Bai Zhu dragged him away directly to the scene.

When he entered the scene and saw the mess underneath, and heard the guards and Bai Zhu behind him covering their lips with retching, Liu Yuan felt a little lucky that he had not eaten lunch: otherwise he would have had to retching himself.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a familiar voice coming from outside.

"Longevity Troupe?"

Zhao You outside said excitedly: "Yes! Lin Shaoqing!"

Liu Yuan: "..." I don't know what got Zhao You so excited. Didn't you see that everyone was about to vomit?

Lin Fei said "hmm" and walked in.

He was not wearing the scarlet official robe of the past, but his regular clothes. Today was Lin Fei's holiday, and the case came suddenly. Lin Fei obviously came directly from Jingyun Marquis Mansion.

The moment he stepped into the longevity troupe, Lin Fei stopped.

The strong smell of blood assaulted the nostrils, and blood splashed everywhere in the lobby like rain. The tables and chairs where the theatergoers were sitting in the audience were tilted here and there, and there were messy footprints running towards the outside of the hall.

Lin Fei lowered his head, looking at the messy and bloody footprints that had been trampled on, and frowned.

The footprints are in such a mess, which shows the panic and fright of the onlookers below. At the same time, there is no verifiable value.

The source of the panic among the spectators below came from the stage.

The actor's head and limbs, which were painted with theatrical makeup, were separated from the body. The body was still hung in the air with wires, and the actor's limbs fell on the table. The head, painted with heavy makeup, fell in the middle of the table.

Facing everyone. It was probably because the incident happened so suddenly that he didn't even have time to close his eyes. He looked at everyone with calm eyes on his face painted with evil ghost makeup.

The sections of the limbs and the head are extremely neat, just like a wooden figure in the hands of a carpenter. The difference is that the wooden figure in the hands of a carpenter can attach its limbs at any time and be pulled by the lead to move again, while the actor in front of him is hung in mid-air.

He is a living person.

The situation at that time can be guessed from the actors on the stage and the mess off the stage.

The actor who was singing on the stage was suspended in the air by a wire. One moment he was humming "Yiya", and the next moment, his limbs and head suddenly separated. This scene was like water splashing into a hot oil pan, and the onlookers in the audience were shocked.

He screamed in panic and ran outside in a hurry.

"Where are those guests?" Lin Fei asked.

"Everyone is staying. Everyone is in the side courtyard." The first officer who came over said, "Many people were frightened and fainted. There are two people with heart problems who are in critical condition. Doctors are working to rescue them."

People with heart problems should avoid being emotionally agitated. Therefore, things like polo, horseback riding, and galloping are generally not done. In this way, there are not many things to do to pass the time, and there are not many things for people with heart problems to do. Watching a movie can be considered a rare thing for people with heart problems.

One of the recreational activities available.

I just didn't expect that the fright of a scene would be far more exciting than something as thrilling as polo.

The leader of the theater troupe was also brought over. He had a sad look on his face and muttered: "I have been in a long-standing company for many years. It doesn't count if a singer dies. I might even scare two spectators to death. This

How can I keep this theater company going in the future?"

The officer who arrived early couldn't help but glance at him when he heard this, and said sarcastically: "Don't you always hope that your longevity troupe will become famous in Chang'an City? Isn't this... just what you want?"

Hearing such obvious ridicule, Lin Fei, Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu who came over, all looked at the guard in unison.

The officer who knew he had made a mistake hurriedly admitted his mistake to several people, and then explained: "This leader Huang has always liked to make troubles. In the past, there were not many people who did evil things. My mother likes to go to the theater, so she should have known about this person."

."

Leader Huang, whose name was called, was embarrassed. He met the looks of Lin Fei and others and said hurriedly: "I... I can't help it! This troupe has been passed down in my family for many years. Recently,

The business is getting worse and worse every year, and the troupe is really ruined in my hands. How will I deal with my ancestors in a hundred years?"

"So, now that someone has died and two spectators with heart problems are trying to save him, what you are worried about is that your troupe will not be able to continue operating?" Liu Yuan rolled his eyes.

Team leader Huang laughed, looked at everyone with a stern look, and quickly admitted his mistake: "I... I know I was wrong! I won't dare to do it next time."

Whoever believes this is a fool!

Lin Fei pointed to the actor hanging there on the stage, looked at Team Leader Huang, and asked, "Who is he?"
