When the old lady heard Li Xiaoran's words, she didn't know what to say.
Other people looked at this old woman and thought she was very familiar, but they couldn't remember where they saw it.
For a while, everyone looked at each other, but no one spoke.
Everyone was at a loss, and Li Xiaoran naturally sensed it.
Li Xiaoran thought for a while, then went directly back to the basket, and then took out the things in the frame.
"Go, get a knife, get a basin!"
When the autumn equinox heard Li Xiaoran's words, he immediately returned to the stove and took out what Li Xiaoran needed.
"What's your name?" Li Xiaoran asked, looking at the person in front of him.
"Mrs Hui, my name is Autumn Equinox, and I am the old woman who helped the cook in the kitchen. After I left with my man, they were forced to have nowhere to go, so I could only sell myself as a slave to find a way to survive. Last year, it was bought by Butler He!" Autumn Equinox explained his identity and origin.
Li Xiaoran nodded and heard that the other party was the person working in the kitchen, so he asked, "How about your knife skills?"
Li Xiaoran smiled and nodded after listening to the autumn equinox.
"Okay, take out all the meat, put it on the cutting board, and cut it out piece by piece."
After finishing speaking, Li Xiaoran pointed to a woman and asked her to come up and beat all the eggs in the basin.
For a moment, the yard became quiet, and everyone was watching the two people who were doing things.
Seeing this, the caught woman felt a panic in her heart. Just when she was about to say something, Li Xiaoran sensed something and turned her head.
"Pull a handful of grass and put it in this person's mouth! I don't want to hear her voice anymore, it's very annoying!"
A guard next to her immediately grabbed a handful of grass and stuffed it directly into the old woman's mouth.
It's alright, that woman can't make a sound anymore.
Seeing this, Li Xiaoran calmed down and stared at the two people in front of him.
The first few pieces of meat were cut without any problems, but when the sixth piece of meat was cut, the autumnal equinox immediately felt that something was wrong.
"Ma'am, there is something in this meat, I just couldn't cut it!"
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately became excited.
"Take the contents out!"
The autumnal equinox nodded, and then began to carefully cut the meat, and then wanted to see what was in the meat.
When a piece of meat was slowly cut open, what was hidden inside was revealed.
When a crystal stone was revealed, everyone was stunned.
Li Xiaoran did not expect that such a beautiful stone was hidden in this piece of meat.
"There is something in this egg!" At this moment, the old woman who beat the egg also exclaimed.
As soon as Li Xiaoran heard it, she moved her gaze and saw a purple pearl the size of her thumb also appearing in the basin filled with egg liquid.
"Take out everything, put it in another pot, and continue!" Seeing all this, Li Xiaoran had a guess in his heart and said.
The Autumn Equinox and the old woman immediately picked up what they found, put it in another empty pot, and continued to work.
Several beautiful crystals and a small pot of pearls were discovered one after another.
With Li Xiaoran's understanding of these crystals and pearls, these things are invaluable in modern times, let alone the ancient times she traveled through.
Thinking of this, Li Xiaoran's eyes have changed when he looks at this old woman.
"Go, please come with Butler He!" Li Xiaoran felt that this matter was beyond her ability to handle, so she could only ask someone to invite Luo Cheng and Uncle He over.
I don't know why, Li Xiaoran thinks these things are very important, it seems that it will bring her and Luo Cheng a lot of trouble.
After Luo Cheng and He Houfa disposed of the wine jars in the wine cellar, they took out some wine liquid and planned to take it back to the room for inspection.
When Li Xiaoran told Luo Cheng what happened, Luo Cheng also looked at the crystals and pearls found in the meat and eggs, and his face became very ugly.
He Houfa first dispersed the servants, then left two guards to guard the old woman, and finally came over.
"Young master, these things seem to have a lot of background! I just don't know why they appeared in the hands of this old lady, and we found them here!" He Houfa asked a little strangely.
"These things are indeed of great origin. I don't know if Uncle He has heard that people from Zhu Languo brought national treasures to negotiate peace with the dynasty. Who knew that their national treasures were stolen on the way. You know, at this juncture, the loss of the national treasure means that there is a high possibility of war between the two countries. This result is something neither the dynasty nor Zhu Languo wants to see." Luo Cheng said with a sneer.
Li Xiaoran was shocked when she heard this, and then looked at the autumnal equinox.
"Did you know that the kitchen is going to buy a lot of meat and eggs recently?"
When the autumn equinox heard Li Xiaoran ask her, she thought about it and said, "Yes, we made some sauce meat in the kitchen, and it tasted very good. Butler He plans to make more, and then Put it in the restaurant to entertain guests. To make this sauce, you also need to put eggs to marinate. So recently, we are indeed buying pork and eggs in large quantities.
After listening, Li Xiaoran asked again, "Are you pickling together?"
The autumnal equinox shook his head and said: "The part of the cured meat is done by the cook, we are only responsible for taking the marinated sauce meat out to air dry. Other cooks will not put their own His unique skills are revealed, otherwise he will have no advantage if he is stolen by us!"
As soon as these words came out, Li Xiaoran and Luo Chengdu realized something.
"Uncle He, bring someone to arrest the cook in the kitchen!" Luo Cheng said.
He Houfa also reacted, and hurriedly called the guards and everyone rushed towards the kitchen together.
Unfortunately, they were late.
The cook seemed to find an excuse to go out when the old woman was caught.
I got the news of the cook's departure from the janitor, and He Houfa hurriedly ordered people to go out to look for it.
It's a pity that this cook seems to be a fish into the sea and has never been seen again.
Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran looked at the crystals and pearls in front of them, and both fell into contemplation.
How to deal with these things has become the most difficult thing!
