Kusuriya no Hitorigoto

IX. Part II (modified 14.06.23)

The next day, what Gaoshun brought was a cookbook (recipe).

"It's a transcript of the dishes cooks make. Mostly, the servants testified that the dishes served to my husband were in this. The cook says he made this too."

When Gao Shun opened the face, he let it stay on the table. It describes the method of cooking bamboo using fish water drawer.

Cats and cats look at it as they stroke their jaws.

It is vinegar with finely chopped vegetables in a hot fish. Somewhat, a unique formula is written in the way vinegar is made, but it is not a particularly unusual dish.

There are several different formulations of vinegar written, and this will be because the flavour changes depending on the season and the ingredients available. The ingredients are not detailed with any fish or vegetables.

Hmm, and the cat and cat stroke their jaws.

"Now you don't know what you used at the heart of it."

"Yes, it is."

As the cat and cat looked at him as he tilted his neck, Mr. Nong came from the side, seemingly not funny. I have dragon's eye fruit in my hand, and I eat it cracked. Something black and dry came out inside.

The dragon's eye is the fruit of a smaller twig (lychee), a fruit that can be taken in summer. The dried product is also called cinnamon meat and is sometimes used as a herbal medicine.

"Don't you get it?

He elbows the table somewhere nagging and peeks into the face of the cat and cat. High order looks wrinkled between the eyebrows, but does not get caution.

(You have to say it right there)

As the cat and cat looked at Mr. Nong with cold eyes, his hand gently reached out from Mr. Nong's hand to take the dragon's eye.

"You can't skip a dim sum (snack) for a bad boy."

Hehe, and Shui Lian, with a frantic smile, stood behind Mr. Ng. I don't know, this vibe, the cat and cat shouldn't have seemed to have a dark cloud standing behind her.

"I know."

When Mr. Nong lowered his eyebrows, stopped elbowing, and in the right position, Aya nodded "OK," while putting the dragon's eye back into Mr. Nong's hand.

I thought it would be awkward if I just spoiled it, and there was a tough side to proper behavior, the cat and cat thought.

It's a little off the record, but let's just say it's undone.

"We've had a case here recently, haven't we?

"About a week ago."

It's still cold as a time of year. Speaking of cucumbers (cucumbers) are commonly used, but in this season, other root vegetables will be used.

"Are ingredients like radishes or carrots?

Vegetables used even in winter are limited. The ingredients are seasonal and the time of eating is limited.

"That's what they said about using seaweed."

Cats and cats half-open their mouths with "ah" in high order words.

"Is it seaweed?

Cats and cats listen back.

It's seaweed.

Koshun said it again.

Seaweed is used as both edible and Chinese.

It may also be used as an ingredient for:

When I heard the words, the cat and cat were snorting.

(meaning I prefer delicacies)

Somewhat, I would sometimes add unusual seaweed.

The end of the mouth moves. An octagonal tooth would be peering through his half-opened mouth.

That's what Mr. Nong and his friends look at.

Look in high order as you narrow your eyes.

"If you don't mind, could you show me inside the kitchen of that house"

The cat and cat said in high order.

Arrangements in high order were quick, and the next day the cat and cat were supposed to go into the kitchen of the example cook. Already, the officials who handled the case had seen what was already over, and they put it in briefly. Normally, you would see around if someone you know in high order is too coarse.

The mansion was situated northwest of the capital, all surrounded by fine houses. The north side of a city with a court would be like this, mainly because it's full of high-end bureaucrats.

My fatigued, skinny wife slept in the mansion, and my youngest let me through instead. I have already accepted your wife's agreement, so it is not a problem.

(Lower man)

The cat and cat head to the place, wondering.

The company has an official arranged by Takashien, but has been watching about cats and cats for a long time. It doesn't seem very pleasant, but if it's an order in high order, it seems to ask and so far there's nothing particularly wrong with it. I wonder if he is a martial artist, still young and not completely physically able, but makes an overall useless move. I thought you looked like someone.

Even as a cat and cat, I think that's fine because I don't want to get along.

Luckily, the kitchen was not used after the incident for cooking food with poison.

The cat and cat came and tried to enter the kitchen.

"What are you doing!

A man ran to the cat and cat as he hoisted his eyes. Thirty or so men in fine clothes.

"Don't go into the mansion on your own, then! It's you! I brought these guys here!

The man who grabs the collar of the inferior man who has guided me.

The cat and cat looked half-eyed and the officer who was with them stepped forward.

"I have taken proper confirmation from my wife. And this is my job."

The cat and cat applauded in their hearts the officer who would give Rin back to the violent man in a good tone.

"Is that true?

The man loosened his collar-grabbed hand.

Affirms it with a lower man's cheeks and cheeks.

"May I come in? Or is it inconvenient?

In the words of the official, the man threw up "on his own," even as he tongued.

Apparently the wife of the official collapsed because she fell asleep, and the official's brother was taking control of the mansion. That seems to be the man from earlier.

Cats and cats look around the kitchen.

Exactly. The cookware was cleaned up beautifully, apparently by the cook, but the ingredients were left intact except for perishable raw ones such as fish.

Cats and cats searched the kitchen.

And what I was looking for was easily found in the back of the shelf.

I was salted in a small pot. Cat and cat laughed a lot when I saw that.

"What's this?

The cat and cat asked his seemingly pale younger man. The youngest narrows his eyes and looks in the kettle. I don't know, so when I grabbed it, I put it on the water bottle and showed it.

"How about this?

"Oh. This is my husband's favorite."

My youngest told me that there is no poison because it is something I eat all the time. You seem trusted by your wife, too, and you don't seem to be lying to me.

"That's right. I need you to go home."

A man says in exasperation at self-abandonment. He stares at the pot in the hand of the cat and cat.

"Right."

The cat and cat returned the kettle to its original location. Grab it, hide it in your sleeve.

"Sorry for the inconvenience"

That's what the cat said, leaving the kitchen behind. Still, for a while, the stabbing gaze didn't disappear from behind.

"Why did you pull back so easily?

A young martial officer told the cat and cat in the carriage home.

"I don't think I pulled back"

Removing the seaweed all over the salt from her sleeve, the cat and cat wrapped it in hand. My sleeves are full of salt and it's disgusting, but if I drop them here, the martial officer in front of me will be mad at me.

"This is strange. It's still a little early for this time of year, which is why I salted it, and it's not something I'll hold until now."

It was a much out-of-season ingredient.

"So I don't think it was taken in this neighborhood. For example, it was purchased from the south in a deal?"

The martial officer opened his eyes to the words of the cat and cat. They figured out what they were supposed to do, and they wouldn't need to explain it in detail.

All you have to do is do what cats and cats do.

The next day, I asked them in high order to prepare a good kitchen for me to use. It's a stash of officials in the courtroom, and they're able to sleep at night.

Cats and cats cook there what they've been preparing since the night before.

It's no big deal when it comes to cooking, just put it on water and serve salted out.

It's an easy task, but I thought I shouldn't use the kitchen in Mr. Nguyen's building just because of it, so I had it prepared separately.

And now, two plates are in front of the cat and cat. Yesterday, I gently split the seaweed I brought into two parts and exposed it to water. It has a bright green color.

Before cats and cats, there are officials who have talked to Gaoshun about the case, martial arts officers who guided cats and cats yesterday, and then, for some reason, Mr. Ng. Showing wild horse guts will piss you off again if you behave badly to the water lotus, cats and cats think.

"I looked it up, and you were right"

said the pale young martial officer.

Yesterday's seaweed was brought to merchants from the south.

"After that, again, I asked my youngest man. Speaking of which, he said he never ate that seaweed in the winter. I've asked other servants, and they've generally returned the same answer."

In the meantime, shaking his head was the official who had been consulting on the case.

"I've already asked the cook about this seaweed. It's the same type of seaweed I usually use, and they say it can't be poisonous."

Cats and cats agree with that. Same type of seaweed.

But if there's something different about it.

"It doesn't mean it's poisonless."

The cat and cat said with chopsticks, pinching the seaweed from the plate.

"Maybe you don't have a lot of habit of eating this seaweed in the south? What if, this time, in the words of a gastronomer's official, a trader who thought it was going to be gold bothered to let the locals make salted seaweed?

"... what's the problem with that?

It was Mr. Nong who interrupted. There is no strangely distracting atmosphere for public today or recently shown. Koshun is nearby anyway. The two officers look at the beauty eunuch somewhere uncomfortable.

The cat and cat say as they chopstick with pleasure.

"There are times in the world when poison becomes non-toxic."

There are different ways to do this, eel blood is inherently poisonous, but it can be eaten by draining or heating blood. In this case, the cat and cat remember that it is only necessary to apply it to lime.

And there are dishes that cats and cats divide into two parts, one that they put on lime and one that they don't. Now I'm pinching it with chopsticks because I had lime ready last night and soaked it.

Cats and cats mouth it with puffiness. I panic around, and when I'm doing what, I clog up.

"It's okay, I guess"

Actually, I just know it as knowledge, and I'm not sure if I can de-toxify it just because I soaked it overnight.

This is also an important test.

"Probably!

"Rest assured. Here's some vomiting pills."

Bang, put the fried medicine down from the chest.

"Don't say it with confidence!

Eventually, he was held from behind in high order, and Mr. Nong forced him to take vomiting pills. Thanks to this, I was feathered throwing up in front of the four lords.

I wonder what you think your pre-dowry daughter is.

By the way, vomiting pills are like vomiting at first, so they suck.

Refresh your mind, the cat and cat said.

"Here's the problem, who suggested to the traders to bring salted seaweed"

I imitated it when I picked it up from a region that I didn't even bother to eat.

"If you're in a coma, you deserve it in a way."

But if not.

And suppose you knew it could be poisonous.

(This is just a prediction though)

A case that was ten years ago, there's no chance I could have come up with that on the thread.

Those who are here are wise. I don't need to say any more, and I'm not going to. Cats and cats are little people. I don't want to think deeply about whose sins I want to do this.

"Okay."

Gaoshun seemed to have figured out what the cat and cat were trying to say, and nodded slowly.

Cats and cats exhaled relieved, pinching and eating the seaweed that was in front of them. Now it's the other plate.

And then again, he became the feather of being forced to vomit by Mr. Nong, who turned his face bright blue.
