Chapter 4: A Brief Introduction to Cooking

He was the one who ordered the xue yesterday.

It turns out that he is a forensic doctor, and Chen Nanfeng is from the detective team.

Chen Nanfeng said that he was free anyway, so he might as well send Ye Shuyi and her daughter home.

After arriving, Chen Nanfeng said, "Why don't you invite me upstairs for a cup of tea?"

"The house is messy, maybe next time."

"Okay, call me if you need anything."

A business card was handed over, and Ye Shuyi did not refuse this time.

When she got home, she saw a little girl looking at her with big eyes, feeling so proud.

"Dad, you're back. Sis, is that your boyfriend?" the little girl gossiped.

"No." Ye Shuyi replied unhappily.

Ye Junhui went to take a shower and clean up, and Ye Shuyi was in charge of dinner.

The vegetables she bought yesterday were still in the refrigerator, so she simply cooked a pot of wonton noodles.

The wontons were pre-wrapped, but after being in the refrigerator for a day, they were obviously a bit stuck together. Just stir with a spoon after boiling water. The noodle soup was ladled into a white porcelain bowl, translucent and delicious, with white steam rising from it.

The wonton filling is a 30% fresh shrimp and 70% lean meat, with the tails shaped like a goldfish. For the noodles, use traditional bamboo noodles, and the broth is made with pork shank. Simply blanch the lettuce, and don't forget to sprinkle with chopped green onions.

Before coming here, Ye Shuyi majored in culinary arts and nutrition and was also a chef. Her uncle was a chef in a hotel, and she was influenced by him since she was a child.

For her, cooking is a pleasure.

"Sister, how come you suddenly become so good at cooking?" Ye Zhizhi asked.

You know, she didn’t dare to eat anything her sister cooked before.

It will upset your stomach.

But recently, the food that my sister cooks can make the neighbors across the building smell the fragrance and come knock on the door.

So fragrant!

Ye Shuyi pretended to be profound and eloquent: "For some things, you need to open your mind. Once you open your mind, you can make extraordinary progress."

What does a fourth-grade student know? All they can do is nod their heads, half-understanding: "Sister, you're amazing."

Three days later, Ye Shuyi went to a tea restaurant in Mong Kok.

This is where "she" and the shrimp man had their first date.

There were a lot of people coming and going in the restaurant, and the space was cramped, with several large old-fashioned ceiling fans hanging high.

It was mid-May, and Hong Kong Island was already very hot. A tall, thin man was wearing a black short-sleeved shirt, long pants, a baseball cap, and a mask.

Only a pair of tired eyes were revealed.

"Is the money ready?" This was the first thing he said after sitting down.

Ye Shuyi took out a black plastic bag from the canvas bag and pushed it forward.

There are Hong Kong dollars in it.

The man nodded and said it was not bad.

"Can you tell me now? What happened?"

Su Baiqiang raised his hand: "Well, two servings of iced silk stocking milk tea and three servings of cart noodles."

"Got it." The waiter held the menu board and marked it.

Iced ones are a bit more expensive than hot ones.

"Three servings? Who else?" Ye Shuyi was suspicious.

"I'm hungry. I want two servings."

After the noodles came, he ate them in a hurry, then gulped down the ice milk tea, and then he calmed down.

He wiped his mouth and then spoke: "I know a big brother, he asked me to put mushrooms in your store. I don't know anything else."

Ye Shuyi laughed in her heart, how dare you ask me for 20,000 for just this?

But the money was not hers, it was bait provided by the police.

"Why is that big man in black foaming at the mouth?" Ye Shuyi asked.

"I don't know! Is there something wrong with the things in your store? If not, he was set up." Su Baiqiang spread his hands.

"It's nothing, I'm leaving first." Su Baiqiang prepared to leave with the money.

Before he could stand up, two people came out from his left and right sides and held down his shoulders.

Before Su Baiqiang could react, silver bracelets were put on his hands.

"Please come with me." Chen Nanfeng said.

Yau Ma Tin Police Station.

Ye Shuyi was waiting in the lobby. As long as the truth didn't come out, it would be difficult for their store to run.

"I already said I didn't know! What else do you want? What evidence do you have?!"

"We have a recorder." Chen Nanfeng pressed it, and the sound of their conversation in the booth of the tea restaurant came out.

"That damn gossip actually recorded the conversation?" Su Baiqiang looked terrified.

"Sir, I was bribed. I didn't know it was drugs. If I had known, I definitely wouldn't have gotten involved! He gave me $20,000 to help him transport the stuff. Coincidentally, my ex-girlfriend owns a restaurant, so I decided to leave it there!"

"Why don't you trade openly? This shows that you also know that this thing cannot be made public. Where is your elder brother?" Chen Nanfeng leaned back and asked while turning the pen.

"I don't even know where Big Brother is. He told me to hide in that subdivided rental apartment and come out after the storm has died down."

The interrogation is over.

"We haven't gained anything yet. Let's let our people search his rental house to see if there are any clues." Chen Nanfeng strode out and said.

Ye Shuyi said thank you for your hard work.

A boy in a police uniform came over and said, "Sir Chen, the Narcotics Squad has received the news and sent someone over."

"You greet them first, I'll follow." The man waved his hand.

"Yes sir!"

"You go ahead and do your work. Tell me if there's any progress." Ye Shuyi said goodbye tactfully.

After leaving the police station, Ye Shuyi walked on the road.

While waiting for the traffic light with the bustling crowd, she stared straight at the traditional Chinese characters for "望右".

In the 1990s, Hong Kong Island was already full of skyscrapers, but it was a bit old and showed the traces of time.

A double-decker bus slowly passed by, and bicycle bells rang, reminding pedestrians to watch out for the cars.

It wasn't until the people next to her moved forward and people of different skin colors were reflected in her eyes that she realized the light was green.

Dark curly hair, floral shirts, or oversized suits with shoulder pads are popular. The bottom is usually flared pants or suit pants, and high heels.

She overlapped these with the Hong Kong movies in her mind and imagined herself as a Hong Kong-style female star with an aura of two meters and eight.

The female star with an aura of 2.8 meters decided to take a stroll on the streets of Hong Kong Island, but was bumped into by a man with Aaron Kwok's haircut.

He picked up the bag and handed it to Ye Shuyi with an apologetic look on his face: "Pretty girl, sorry, it's your bag."

"It's okay, remember to watch the road." Ye Shuyi took it and didn't take it seriously.

When she came to a street-side shop and wanted to buy the skirt she liked, she found out that her money had been stolen!

There are thieves in every era!

"Miss, do you want more of the skirt? Another customer also likes it." asked the landlady who was combing the landlady's hair.

Ye Shuyi tried her best to remain calm, looking at the picture of the beautiful girl on the wall, and said lazily: "I don't think it suits me very well."

Then he hung it back up calmly.

When she left the shop, the man with Aaron Kwok's head had disappeared!

She randomly asked a few passersby, "Have you seen that tall, thin guy with the Aaron Kwok hairstyle?"

"No."

Around five or six o'clock, the neon signs lining the streets were already brightly lit. Ye Shuyi ran to the police station and happened to see Chen Nanfeng leaving.

"Oh? Why are you back again?" Chen Nanfeng asked curiously.

"Report it to the police!" Ye Shuyi panted and recounted what happened.

"What a coincidence! A brave man just came here with a thief and the stolen goods. Can you see if it's him?"

Ye Shuyi went to see, and it was indeed true.
