Chapter 901: Beef Jerky
It was still early, so how could Li Jingan wait in the inn in order to eat hot pot, so Li Jingan excused himself, saying that the government still had something to do, so he hurriedly went back.
But after Li Jingan left, Wen Meng smiled a little proudly: "These people want to frame us, hmph, you know how powerful we are this time!" ”
Just when Wen Meng was proud, Hua Wan'er asked a little puzzled: "Brother, what should we do with those beef, we can't sell it now, we can't eat it all, I'm afraid it will be bad if we put it in the tank!" ”
Hua Lang naturally thought of this earlier, but he had a way to deal with the beef.
After taking out the beef, they first marinated dozens of catties, and then dried the rest to make beef jerky, of course, braised beef Cheng Bo will, but to make beef jerky, only Hua Lang alone.
After Hualang taught Cheng Bo the method, he asked him to do what he said, and when the beef jerky is ready, as long as it is properly preserved, there is no problem at all if it is put for half a year, of course, this huge cow can be made into beef jerky for hundreds of catties, but even so, they can't take it out and sell it, only for insiders to eat.
One of the reasons, one is because it is taken out and sold, and the matter of killing cattle is exposed, and the other is because beef is very delicious, and it is hard to find in the Song Dynasty, Hua Lang liked to eat beef before, and he has not eaten it a few times since he arrived in the Song Dynasty for so long, this time he finally has a few hundred catties, how can he be cheap for those outsiders?
Wen Meng and the others also had the same idea as Hua Lang, the beef was delicious, so they naturally kept it for themselves and ate it.
Ziqi Donglai's business is very good, hundreds of taels of silver come in every day, Hua Lang sometimes seems bored, so he develops new dishes, but this kind of thing is too unchallenging for him, he thinks it is interesting to solve the problem.
During this time, Hanarang finally understood why Holmes slept in when there was no case solved, or he took drugs, because when a person does nothing, it is boring and makes people want to go crazy.
Fortunately, before Hua Lang went crazy, there was a murder in the west of Chang'an City.
The murder is so bizarre that it's hard to understand.
The deceased was Du Yibai, the owner of Du Kang Distillery in Xishi, who died at night, and when the maid went to deliver the washing water in the morning, the door was locked, and the body was found only to be found when someone knocked it open.
That is, it is a case of a closed room homicide.
When Hua Lang heard about the death case in the West Market, he suddenly had a long-lost excitement, he hurriedly called Wen Meng and the others, and then followed the official who came to report the news just arrived at the Du Kang Wine Workshop, the wine shop is different from the inn, the inn can be used for people to eat, drink and stay, but the wine shop only provides wine, guests can drink here, but can not eat other things.
The main business of the small brewery is sake, and some will provide some snacks to attract customers, and more often sell it to drinkers.
If ordinary people want to drink wine, they can brew it themselves, or they can buy it at the winery, and they can only come to the winery to buy it, because the wine in the inn is not sold, the inn is a place to do business, and the wine is only provided to those who come to the inn to eat, and few people will sell it if they buy wine alone in the inn.
This is only the business operated by the small winery, but the big winery is different, the large winery is large, if the wine is only sold to the people who come to sell the wine, the benefit is a bit slow, so most of the customers operated by the big winery are small wineries and inns, that is, they are the suppliers of small wineries and inns.
Many small wineries and inns have wine from the big wineries.
In the whole West Market, there are several big wineries, and this Du Kang Wine Workshop is one of them, it can also be regarded as a number of big wine shops, Hualang's Purple Qi Donglai Inn once had wine in Du Kang Wine Workshop, the wine of Du Kang Wine Workshop is very good, the taste is very mellow, but sometimes waiting for goods, you need to wait for a long time.
On this matter, Hua Lang once asked the people of Du Kang Distillery, asking why the wine in their distillery was in short supply, but did not increase production, at that time, Hua Lang only asked casually, so he didn't care much, I just remember that the shopkeeper said that the koji they used was different from other people's, and their koji was more troublesome to manufacture, so the wine-making cycle was long, and their boss Du Yibai didn't want to speed up production, this is all money!
On the way to Du Kang's Distillery, Hua Lang went through these situations in his mind, and after going through them, he really couldn't think of anyone who would kill Du Yibai.
Of course, it is not certain that this is a murder, and the person who reported the case only said that he saw the body, and the house was closed, and how the deceased died must wait for the autopsy to be sure.
When he entered the Du Kang Wine Workshop, Li Jing'an was already waiting inside, and several guys from the Wine Shop were standing aside with nervous expressions, while several officials were blocking those who wanted to rush in to see the excitement.
After Li Jingan saw Hua Lang, he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Dude, you are finally here, hurry up, this murder happened strangely, I'm afraid only you can solve this case." ”
Seeing Li Jing'an say this, Hua Lang was taken aback and asked, "It's already confirmed that it's murder?" ”
"The official just took a general look at the corpse, it should be a murder, because the officer found that the house was slightly messy, and there was a pinch mark on the neck of the deceased." Li Jingan was able to become the prefect of Chang'an City in his thirties, and it was absolutely impossible to do it without any ability.
After Hua Lang listened to Li Jingan's words, he hurriedly followed him upstairs.
The place where Du Yibai lives is a three-story attic, because it is a winery, so the place where they live is very large, the front door sells wine, the back is a big wine-making place, there are many workers shaking around in it every day, in the middle of the front door and wine-making, there is a big attic, which is where Du Yibai and his wife live, it is divided into three floors, the first floor is the living room, the second floor is the place to put things, and there is only a big room on the third floor, which is the bedroom of the husband and wife, of course, the bedroom is separated by a screen.
When Hua Lang and the others entered the third floor, they saw Du Yibai's body lying next to the bed, his appearance was a little terrifying, corpse spots had appeared on his face, and he thought that he was already dead around the time last night.
Hua Lang carefully examined the corpse, and finally got up and said, "The deceased was indeed strangled to death, but from the deceased, a faint smell of alcohol can be smelled, indicating that the deceased may have drunk alcohol before being killed." ”
After Hua Lang finished speaking, Li Jingan hurriedly said: "He has a wine shop here, and it's normal to drink some wine at night, it shouldn't have anything to do with his death, right?" ”
Hua Lang shrugged: "I don't know, but if he didn't drink, he might not die, I think he may have been drunk before the murderer quietly entered the room and killed him, because Du Yibai was drunk and reacted a little slowly, so the murderer could succeed, otherwise with his figure, the murderer wanted to strangle him, I'm afraid it would not be easy." ”
