Chapter 64 Determination
As the night entered, there were fewer pedestrians on the street. Liu Yu took Lu Chuer and Sui Yi without walking on the bustling streets of the night market. He picked up all the small roads and added a few more whipping horses, and soon returned to the General's Mansion in front of the palace.
The ancients called the fire to take off water. In big cities like Chang'an, there were some water dragon teams specifically responsible for extinguishing the fire. When Liu Yu returned home, the flames in the kitchen had just been extinguished, and there was a pungent smell of coke. Fortunately, the fire was discovered early, Xu Xuanzhu and Sui Yu escaped from the fire immediately, and no one was injured. However, the most beautiful houses were burned with black paint and wooden beams, and they had to be rebuilt unless the ruins of the original site were demolished.
Xu Xuanzhu walked over with apologetic expression, like a little woman who did something wrong, looking at Liu Yu silently. Liu Yu sighed and said, "Madam, if you want to learn cooking, you can choose to be during the day. It is easy to make a mistake when you are in a dark and lantern at night. Besides, you can wait for my free time to teach you. Why bother Miss Sui?"
Xu Xuanzhu said in surprise: "Your husband can cook food?"
"I was empty and I wanted to come back and make some food myself. But it doesn't matter. While everyone is here, I will introduce a new cooking method for you to try."
Liu Yu found a stove pot and started firewood in the yard. The fire was not too big. He boiled water in the pot, found meat and vegetables to cut it, and threw it into the pot little by little. Xu Xuanzhu and a group of female soldiers thought Liu Yu wanted to cook chowder soup, but he didn't expect that Liu Yu just rinsed it and took it out of the pot. The meat and vegetables were still half-cooked, as if they were eating raw meat and drinking blood.
"Come on, everyone, try it." Liu Yu picked up the chopsticks, dipped the rinseed meat and vegetables into salt, smeared them and stuffed them into his mouth.
The hotpot soup base made by Liu Yu was just clear water. Fish was extremely precious these days, and there were not many good ingredients that could be found. Everyone's eyes were obviously hesitant, but the birth of food required people who "dare to eat crabs". Sui Yu was the second to use chopsticks and put the slices of shaved meat into her mouth. She showed a hint of joy on her face.
Everyone then did it themselves. No one expected that this simple shabu-shabu would be so delicious. Liu Yu explained again and said that he should find a small charcoal stove to cook so that it could be placed on the table without taking up too much space to become an auxiliary delicacy. The soup base can be used with different seasonings, so that the shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-sha
Sui Yu listened very seriously. Liu Yu knew that with her intelligence, she had already started the idea of hot pot and Yuelaiju's current development attitude. She believed that hot pot could be promoted and flourished in Chang'an City in the near future.
…………
On the second day, Liu Yu and He Mao went to the Song and Dance Hall in the south of the city. The emperor ordered the emperor to specifically approve the secret detention points in the Song and Dance Hall to interrogate the criminals who were exterminated this time.
It was said that it was a detention point, but it was just a big house with a cellar. When the door was closed outside, some sound insulation facilities were arranged in the cellar. Everything was unaware of it. Liu Yu went to the Song and Dance Education Shop to see how Sima Xuan'er was injured, but Aunt Xuan said that Sima Xuan'er had moved home to recuperate and had not appeared in the Song and Dance Education Shop for many days.
Liu Yu couldn't help but sigh that the Sima family and the Li family were both prominent families in the court, but if they were at slightest mistakes, their families would be destroyed. The Prince's case and Li Zhongchun had an affair with the Turks were mostly framed by others. One day, one day, one must be careful and inadvertent, and it will be robbed.
The spies of the Imperial Army made up the Liss who performed military dance and the strikeout team members. The Liss was responsible for practicing dance in the big house, while the strikeout team members practiced the strikeout in the inner courtyard to confuse the public. There was a wall between the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard, and He Mao would arrange people to guard it. He Mao also specially found Yu Mo, the old eunuch of the Song and Dance Hall, who clearly stated that it was not allowed to mention anyone else to the outside world, and no one was allowed to enter the inner courtyard at will, otherwise it would be handled by military law.
The first criminal to be arrested was Xu Rong, and everything was going on in an orderly manner. The wind had already been released from Zangyunfang, saying that Li Zheer and a few popular ladies would run for the courtesan on the night of the second day. This was a big event in the romance field. Those who could enter Zangyunfang were all high-ranking officials and nobles who spent a lot of money to win the beauty's body. They would not have to be responsible for patting their butts and leaving in three days. The romantic official young men liked this tone the most.
"Brother Liu, are you sure Xu Rong will go to Zangyunfang tomorrow night?" Han Sheng said in the chess building with some confusion, "Even if he really goes, how can you guarantee that he will win the courtesan?"
Liu Yu said: "Brother Han, you said that Xu Rong accepted a large amount of bribes from the Jinshi. With the current status of the Xu family and the previous holidays between the Xu family and the Li family, Xu Rong will definitely win the beauty at all costs. What Xu Rong wants to ridicule was not Li Zheer's body, but her identity. He will definitely not miss this temptation. Now he will carefully plan the terrain of Zangyunfang, and then consider how to sneak Xu Rong out."
Han Sheng took out a floor plan of Zangyunfang and explained in detail that Li Zhe'er's boudoir was in the corner room on the third floor, and in addition to her, there was a little maid living with her. The election courtesan must have brought Enke into the room alone that night. Then the Imperial Guard had prepared manpower and incense, so he fainted in the room, and then hung it down from the window and transported it away in a carriage. The only difficult thing was Li Zhe'er's subsequent handling. He could have transported Li Zhe'er away, but this would easily arouse people's suspicion. Liu Yu meant to find a soldier who looked very much like Xu Rong, and had a quarrel with Enke who had other soldiers who were wearing makeup, and then the two sides fought. The fake Xu Rong could also be transported away to confuse the opponents and not tell the truth.
After the plan was settled, Liu Yu sent Han Sheng away, and Han Sheng had many things to arrange in advance. Liu Yuxin said that this was done to kidnap the population and wanted to tell Xu Xuanzhu whether to tell Xu Xuanzhu, but when he thought that this matter was too confidential and complicated, it would be better not to worry Xu Xuanzhu.
Liu Yuzheng was a little bored when he suddenly saw someone walking into the chess building. As soon as he entered the chess building, he asked the chess building clerk about the Liu family's son. It was Wang Hu.
Wang Hu had been recuperating for a few days, and the injuries on his butt were almost healed. At this time, he looked sincere. After entering the chess room, he saluted Liu Yu and said, "Ask you, sir."
Liu Yu didn't expect Wang Hu to come to him. Seeing that he didn't look like a talented person, he suspected that Wang Hu's Jinshi was obtained by cheating in the imperial examination. Wang Hu smiled faintly and said, "Sir, students respect their father's orders and come to receive teaching humbly."
"Can you write poetry?" Liu Yu asked suddenly.
"Writing poetry? I know a little, but I don't write well."
Liu Yuxu asked: "Then how is your calligraphy?"
"Generally, it's pretty good to write."
Liu Yuxin said that this was "bad" and "dodged". It seemed that this playboy was a little self-aware.
"I'm going to tell you that I can't write poems, and I can't write well. I'm not proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and I have only a slight understanding of military strategy. If you say you are taught with humility, what can I teach you?"
Wang Hu didn't expect Liu Yu to be so decisive. According to his previous temperament, he had already left. However, on the one hand, his father put pressure on him and refused to recognize his son if he did not become a disciple. On the other hand, the fourth princess personally asked him to follow Liu Yu.
"Why...sir teach me how to play?"
