Kaifeng Bistro

"No, no," Wang Chao waved his hands anxiously after saying this: "I have to go find Master Zhan, he probably went out to investigate the case by himself last night. Shopkeeper Tan, if you see him, you must tell him He said, let him go back to Kaifeng mansion immediately."

"Wait, brother Wang Chao, you said that A Yuan's body is gone, can you explain more clearly, how can a corpse disappear out of thin air?" After Tan Zhifeng recovered from the shock, he couldn't help but tug on Wang Chao's cuff and asked road.

"Hey! Well, I also heard from the brother on duty. Let me tell you a few words, you must not tell others." Chao Chao cautiously approached and said to Tan Zhifeng: "This matter is really strange, If you think about it, you know that this A Yuan... has a special identity. His body is stored separately, and there are two guards watching it. But this morning, when I woke up, the place was empty. Not only A Yuan's body, but also the The two guards are also gone, what a strange thing, a strange thing!"

Speaking of this, he suddenly raised his head to look at Xu Gan vigilantly, and then asked Tan Zhifeng in a low voice: "Your brother didn't go out last night, did he? Could it be that he took A Yuan's body away?"

Xu Gan walked over with a sullen face: "We are all trying to find the murderer now, why should I want his body?"

Wang Chao was taken aback, and embarrassedly cupped his fists at Xu Gan: "Oh, I'm sorry, I made a slip of the tongue just now, well, shopkeeper Tan, I can't stay with you for long, I have to find Master Zhan as soon as possible!"

With that said, he turned around and strode towards the door, attracting many curious eyes from the guests on both sides.Tan Zhifeng shook his head: "Things are getting more and more strange. A Yuan is dead. This is what so many people saw with their own eyes that day. Who is going to take so much effort to steal his body from Dali Temple?"

"Isn't it!" Zhuo Zhuo also shrank back to the wall with some fear: "By the way, the corpse is really scary, who will steal it... Are you really afraid of having nightmares at night?"

"A Yuan..." Xu Gan slowly repeated: "That... that morning, I always felt that something was unusual..."

"I said, Xu, Xu Gan?" Zhuo Zhuo tentatively leaned forward and asked respectfully: "You...you don't remember anything at all? Who are those people? Where are they usually? Party? Hey, I won't talk about it, think about it carefully, I have to go out to work, and I have guests to greet me."

As Zhuo Zhuo said, he picked up a few plates of dried fruit and crisp Qiong Ye and went out. Yi Yi also left. Xu Yan said to Tan Zhifeng: "When I first came to Kaifeng, Xu Yan's soul was still very persistent. Staying in his body, his obsession is very strong, but my soul is relatively weak, and I can't remember most of what happened during that period."

His eyes turned to Tan Zhifeng, looked at Tan Zhifeng for a while, and then continued: "Until, later, I met you here, and my soul began to wake up slowly, and he..."

"After all, his lifespan is over. Although he is reluctant to leave because of some obsessions, he will probably become weaker and weaker?" Tan Zhifeng asked.

"That's right." Xu Gan nodded, "If my soul hadn't entered his body, his body would have collapsed along with his soul, and his soul would soon become a wandering soul with no destination. But his body accepts me, and he has a chance to stay."

"However, during this period of time, neither the King of Xiangyang nor the people from the Liao Kingdom have come to look for you." Tan Zhifeng said after thinking for a while, "So, you don't know who they are."

"Why?" Xu Gan also frowned slightly, "Don't they want me to participate in what they are planning?"

Tan Zhifeng continued to think, and he closed his eyes. Although the contact between the two was brief when Xu Gan left that day, he saw many pictures in Xu Gan's memory. "He... seems to be a person with his own ideas." Tan Zhifeng slowly opened his eyes, and said to Xu Gan: "He grew up in Kaifeng, he doesn't hate Kaifeng, and he doesn't want to make enemies of Kaifeng people. Moreover, he should be very smart, he took Ling'er away at that time, there may have been some reasons that we don't know about."

"Just imagine..." Tan Zhifeng was a little excited as he spoke, he leaned against Xu Gan, lowered his voice, but sped up his speech: "Imagine that one day he suddenly came back, but he didn't contact any of them, but It was him who started a new life, he even went to Jiaodi, left the south of the city, and met... I... moved to my place, those people... what would they think?"

"He is no longer one of them, he... I am afraid he is no longer trustworthy." Xu Gan's face became colder and colder. The last attempt, they want to use this to call Xu Gan back..."

"Didn't they succeed?" Tan Zhifeng calmly raised his head and looked at Xu Gan: "Xu Gan's soul has awakened, but they didn't expect that it was just a flashback."

"Also," Tan Zhifeng continued, "Do you still remember what he said when he left..."

"He can't take A Yuan away." Tan Zhifeng's voice became lower and lower: "He told us... to be careful of A Yuan."

……

"Oh my god, it's finally quiet!" Zhuo Zhuo sent the last guest away and closed the door: "There is still an hour before dinner, Tan Zhifeng, are you sure you want to open the door at night? Why are there so many people today? I'm exhausted!"

"As I said, the door must be opened as usual recently." Tan Zhifeng took two bamboo baskets from Yi Yi's hands, which were wet inside, and Zhuo Zhuo carefully avoided them by lifting the hem of his skirt, but couldn't help raising his hand to pinch them. He stopped his nose: "What is this?"

"The water in the spring river is warm, and there are fish to eat." Tan Zhifeng smiled: "I have to prepare some special dishes tonight."

"Why are you still in the mood to prepare these?" Zhuo Zhuo asked in confusion, "By the way, don't you have to visit Chen Qing this afternoon?"

"That's right, I'll be there later." Tan Zhifeng said, "I should be ready soon, and I can leave the rest to you and Shangshang."

"I don't want to touch fish, it's fishy and dirty, and it makes me smell bad." Zhuo Zhuo curled his mouth, "Sometimes I really admire you..."

She tidied her clothes and hairpin a few times, and disappeared near the flowerpot by the wall in a blink of an eye. Tan Zhifeng spread his hands helplessly: "Who can help!"

He originally thought that one of Shangshang and Yiyi would always appear, but in the end Xu Yan responded, "What are you going to do?"

Tan Zhifeng didn't expect that only Xu Gan was left to cook with him in the end. He handed the bamboo basket in front of Xu Gan: "Make stuffed fish. It's done. I'm going to send some to Brother Bai. He likes it." Eating fish, I hope eating something good will make him feel better..."

Before Tan Zhifeng finished speaking, Zhuo Zhuo suddenly jumped out: "What? Going to deliver meals to Brother Bai? Of course I want to go!"

"The place of Dali Temple is strictly guarded. If Miss Zhuo Zhuo doesn't mind, let's go down." Zhuo Zhuo's joyful voice was interrupted by Zhan Zhao, and the door was pushed open. Zhan Zhao walked into the tavern with a tall and straight figure: "Zhifeng, I didn't want to disturb you at this time, but I've been so busy that I haven't had time to eat. After much deliberation, I'd better come to you to beg for a bowl of rice." Zhan Zhao said to Tan Zhifeng with a smile.

"Master Zhan, what are you talking about? We welcome you here anytime." Zhuo Zhuo didn't mind that Zhan Zhao snatched her meal delivery job, and greeted her with a smile on his face: "What do you want to eat? There are steamed cakes today." , there are soup noodles, rough duck, kang chicken, melon squid, sparrow fish, dried pine nuts, what do you want to eat?"

Zhan Zhao smiled at Zhuo Zhuo: "Don't bother, just have a bowl of noodle soup."

"Then I'll lay it out for you myself!" Zhuo Zhuo happily ran into the kitchen, but was at a loss seeing the fish all over the kitchen, "Zhifeng, where is the face?"

"You just take the tea out." Tan Zhifeng pushed the teapot and teacup in front of her eyes: "Go quickly." Zhuo Zhuo looked at his reflection in the water basin, and went out with the tea in satisfaction .

After she served the tea, Zhan Zhao stopped Xu Gan who was going to the back kitchen, and sat down to talk to him. Zhan Zhao told Xu Gan that he had been looking for those in the south of the city for the past few days. People who are in frequent contact with A Yuan on weekdays. "The strange thing is that they all seem to have disappeared. Brother Xu Xian, I heard that you have also been to the south of the city, I don't know..."

Xu Gan shook his head.Zhan Zhao's expression became a little gloomy: "So, they are going to hide in the dark all the time, and they won't show up for the time being. Then who snatched A Yuan's body?!"

Xu Gan remained silent, while Zhan Zhao shook the teacup in his hand while thinking, but he never took a sip.Until Tan Zhifeng put the steaming hot noodle soup in front of him, and reminded him softly: "Brother Zhan, your tea is cold."

Zhan Zhao looked up at Tan Zhifeng as if he had just woken up from a dream, but Tan Zhifeng smiled at him: "No matter what, let's fill up our stomachs first."

"Zhifeng is right." Zhan Zhao took a sip of tea, and began to eat noodles.Xu Yan followed Tan Zhifeng into the back kitchen, watching the fish bouncing around in the pool, he looked at Tan Zhifeng suspiciously: "This... how to do it?"

Tan Zhifeng didn't answer, but began to skillfully scrape and clean the fish one by one, while Changshang helped him to salt the prepared fish.Then he took out another piece of fat and thin mutton, chopped the meat with green onion and ginger, added the prepared sauce and some steamed yellow rice, mixed well, lit the stove, and put the mutton and rice together Stir-fry in the pot, and the whole kitchen is filled with fragrance.

Zhan Zhao, who had just finished eating the noodles, was attracted by the aroma and came over: "Zhifeng, I heard that you want to make stuffed fish? Why are you frying this mutton?"

"Brother Zhan, you don't know something." Tan Zhifeng put away the fire, turned back and said to Zhan Zhao, "I have a unique way of making fish. As for the fried stuffing, I will put it in the belly of the fish. I will talk to Zhan Zhao later. The fish is roasted together on the fire. At that time, the fat of the mutton will melt into the fish, and the fragrance of the fish and the fatness of the sheep are just a word for 'fresh'."

"It's just..." He blinked at Zhan Zhao: "There is one more thing to add to the stuffed fish that I brought to Brother Bai..."
