This is the Luopan mooncake from the blind box store, the one corresponding to Qingshan.
Cutting it with a silver spoon, the crust is soft and glutinous, the light green filling is wrapped with a little dark red beans, and the sweet fragrance is mixed with a faint tea fragrance.
It is completely different from the sweet and greasy taste Qin Mingde imagined, it melts with a sip, sweet but not greasy, as if he took a little less.
His Majesty is watching from the side, but he can't say that the taste is too good, and he hasn't eaten enough, so he takes a little more to taste.
He put down the silver spoon with regret and presented the mooncake with a small cut.
Emperor Wu took a small bite first, without much reaction on his face. After eating half of it, he put down the plate and said, "Bring me another one."
Qin Mingde had experience this time, so he picked another box and cut a large piece with a silver spoon. He saw that there was a layer of pink and tender on the cut surface of the mooncake, and it was soft and elastic when pressed by the silver spoon. His eyes were determined.
Emperor Wu asked, "What's wrong?"
Qin Mingde bent down and reported, "Your Majesty, this seems to be a meat mooncake."
There was no sound from above, so he continued, "The middle layer seems to be raw meat."
The two eunuchs in the palace took a step back.
In fact, each mooncake in the box is individually packaged, an illusion packaging box from the dreamland, and there is an invisible small magic circle inside to lock in freshness.
The packaging box also stated the list of ingredients and the expiration date.
Qin Mingde read the instructions carefully and replied, "It says on the box, this is a... tuna mooncake, and there is a kind of raw fish in the filling. After special treatment, it can be eaten with confidence. The unopened mooncake can be kept for half a month, but it must be eaten within an hour after opening."
Emperor Wu pondered. This fish didn't sound like a river fish, but if it was a sea fish, it would be impossible to keep it fresh and transport it to Liangjing, let alone use it to make mooncakes.
His Majesty didn't say anything, and Qin Mingde felt bitter. He had to eat a bite of this raw meat mooncake.
He had been in the palace for many years, and he had seen and done cannibalism in secret, but he had never really eaten raw meat. He didn't know how fishy and unbearable it was.
Qin Mingde regretted being too greedy, so he cut off a large piece, closed his eyes again and put it into his mouth, then opened his eyes again, "Hmm?"
The two eunuchs saw the change in the chief steward's face, hunched his shoulders, and there was a bit of inquiry in his eyes.
Qin Mingde didn't dare to chew it carefully at first, but now he tasted it carefully. The meat was soft and glutinous, without any fishy smell.
Moreover, the meat blended well with other ingredients, especially the thin layer of light green sauce on the surface, which was fresh and sweet, and it was delicious.
Needless to say, the chief steward's uncontrollable expression had already given an explanation.
Afterwards, Emperor Wu also ate the seafood mooncake, which tasted really good.
At the other end of the deep palace, Fengqi Palace was also tasting the mooncake gift box sent by Princess Deyi.
Deyi always did things this way. The two boxes of mooncakes ordered were all delivered to the palace and presented directly to the emperor and empress. Along with the mooncake gift boxes, postcards and doll key chains were also sent into the palace.
The empress ate the mooncakes and was very satisfied. She saw the postcard again, which was a scene of an old Shen Xiangjun standing under an apricot tree and looking at the flowers.
She kept the postcard and gave the plush doll to the senior palace maid beside her.
The movie theater quietly became popular in the palace. The young palace maids and eunuchs began to ask privately. Some wanted mooncakes, some wanted postcards, and many people envied Aunt Mingyu beside the empress, who actually got such an interesting reward.
The mooncake gift box received a good response. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, many people still wanted to buy it. Lu Yao decided to take advantage of the popularity and sell it for another half a month before launching new food.
Yu Gui Zhai's surrounding mooncakes also continued to be sold, and the two companies will continue to cooperate and launch new styles.
Lu Yao took some goods from Yu Gui Zhai and sent them to other stores on the shopping street, and the response was also very good.
The surrounding mooncakes are not just painted with the appearance of a character, but each one has a different taste. Lu Yao
suggested using the growth habits of herbs to integrate the life experiences of the characters to make concept mooncakes unique to each character.
At that time, Yu Gui Zhai thought of using Chinese medicine to add a nourishing effect. But the taste of Chinese medicine is overbearing. It is difficult to cover up the smell when put into mooncakes, and the taste does not meet Lu Yao's requirements.
Later, Zhou Su helped, and together with Feng Yong, they formulated the most balanced taste and taste.
Lu Yao was more cautious and asked Bai Jing for help.
Bai Jing also called a cousin who studied Chinese medicine pharmacology to work part-time for a few days to ensure the safety of the formula.
The customers of the snack bar like this mooncake with a faint medicinal smell very much. They think it is healthy, although they don't need it themselves.
The customers of the Maorongrong Shop also like it because different kinds of Chinese medicine are added to it, some of which can help sleep, some can relax the body and mind, and some can enhance physical strength. With the blessing of the Maorongrong Shop, the effect is doubled.
When the concept of exclusive mooncakes that integrate the life stories of the characters came out, fans of Da Wu Dynasty could not sit still and went crazy to buy them.
Zhoubian mooncakes provided new ideas for the old master of Yu Guizhai, and Feng Yong and Yu Jixiang also began to conceive new snacks.
Chen Yuning got up early in the morning and ran to find Xie Xu and the Prince of Jin. Although he was almost beaten yesterday, he couldn't help but go to find his friends despite the pressure of family rules because he hadn't watched "Xun Xian" yet.
The Prince of Jin was even more sullen than usual. The first thing he said when they met was, "Don't mention anything about "The Sea Train Serial Murder Case" to me!"
Chen Yuning winked at Xie Xu, "What's wrong?"
Xie Xu smiled wickedly, "People have been discussing "The Sea Train" and the murderer along the way. The prince hasn't watched it yet, and he's so annoyed."
Chen Yuning understood, "Then what are we waiting for, let's go."
The most interesting thing about suspense movies is to follow the plot to deduce the murderer, and verify whether the deduction is right or wrong when the mystery is finally revealed.
If you are spoiled, all the fun will be gone.
Arriving at the cinema, Chen Yuning and Xie Xu decided to watch "Sea Train" with the Prince of Jin again. They were so nervous watching it yesterday that they didn't have time to dig out many details. In the end, they would go to watch "Seeking Immortality".
The three of them looked at the time and bought tickets for two shows.
Minister Chen was on leave, and Chen Yuning was not seen at breakfast. According to the servants' report, he went to the cinema in the East City with the son of the left prime minister and the Prince of Jin.
Minister Chen finished his breakfast with a gloomy face. He stopped drawing and reading, and asked the butler to prepare the carriage.
When they arrived at the door of the cinema, Minister Chen had just got off the carriage when someone walked quickly from behind and bowed to him, "Sir, are you here to watch a movie too?"
The visitor was a recorder in the Ministry of Works named Li Bo, a subordinate of the old minister's subordinate.
Minister Chen was puzzled, "Why are you also here?"
Li Bo said, "I heard from my friends that there is a new play in the cinema, and there are many novel things in the play, so I came to see it."
Minister Chen's face was serious, "Do you come here often?"
Li Bo shook his head, "I heard about this cinema a long time ago, and the plays are novel and interesting. But I don't like to listen to plays, so I have never been here. Today is my first time."
Minister Chen's face eased and his temper calmed down a little, "In that case, let's go in and take a look."
They came at an unfortunate time. The first show had already started, and the tickets for the second show were sold out. If they waited any longer, it would be noon.
They heard that there was a mini cinema similar to a private room in a restaurant. It was early and there was one room left, so the two of them directly booked a private room for ten people.
Li Bo felt it was very stressful to stay alone with his superior for more than an hour, so he suggested calling some more colleagues.
About a cup of tea later, Li Bo called a few colleagues who were taking a break with him, all of whom were lower-level officials.
Hearing that they were going to watch a movie, they were very happy and were still joking when they entered the door.
As a result, they saw their superior was also there, and they saluted one by one and glared at Li Bo secretly.
This guy is not kind, he didn't even tell him in advance.
Fortunately, when everyone arrived, the screen in front started playing, and everyone's attention was immediately attracted.
Except for Minister Chen, the rest of the people had heard of the cinema to some extent, but for various reasons, they had never been there.
There was an advertisement at the beginning, and it was a mooncake advertisement for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Minister Chen suddenly remembered that he came here not to watch a movie, but to catch the rebellious son who was not doing his job properly.
Someone beside him whispered to the person next to him: "I went to buy mooncakes yesterday, and heard that Yuguizhai and the cinema had cooperated. I didn't expect to see Yuguizhai in the cinema."
When Li Bo went to call people, Minister Chen had already watched the mooncake advertisement in the rest area and watched the trailers of several movies. He also had many doubts and thoughts in his mind, and the one that attracted him the most was the sea train.
After the advertisement ended, there was another safety regulations knowledge.
Li Bo couldn't help but say, "This is a good idea. If we can also have a bulletin wall like this, we can enforce laws and lay out drawings on weekdays, and illiterate people can understand and read them."
The Ministry of Industry is in charge of various infrastructure projects such as farmland, water conservancy, civil engineering, roads, and water transportation. Compared with other officials in Beijing, they have more opportunities to interact with foremen and the people. Many grassroots officials often feel overwhelmed.
Most people are illiterate, and many times an order has to be repeated many times, and it is easy to make mistakes.
The fire safety short film in the cinema has portraits, sounds, and the most intuitive demonstrations. It is simple and easy to understand.
If this method can also be used in engineering construction and the implementation of laws, it will definitely be twice the result with half the effort.
The safety short film ends, and the main film finally begins.
At the beginning, the scene of the sea train entering the platform attracted the attention of all officials, big and small. Some people were so surprised that they couldn't help but stand up, eyes wide open, "Is this a car? Why can
it float on the sea?" "Look carefully, there seems to be a road under the car." The person next to him pulled him to sit down, and he couldn't help analyzing, "There are only wheels, no horses, and it doesn't look like it relies on human power. Could it be that this car uses water power?"
Minister Chen shook his head, "No. This car has a strange shape, can carry so many people, and runs very fast, it shouldn't be water-powered.
" "What is that?"
"Something...unknown."
The theater became quiet. New things kept appearing, and the plot was very tense. Three people died in succession. The adults were curious about new things, but also concerned about the urgent matter of finding the murderer. Their eyes and brains were busy.
...
After the death of the brown-robed robber, a new character appeared - Lina, a girl who was going to Taicheng to look for her relatives.
To be precise, she was not a new character. She appeared at the beginning, but disappeared after the train started running.
When everyone checked the body of the brown-robed robber, they found that he was also shot in the chest, just like the previous two.
Lina was locked in a small room opposite the scene of the brown-robed robber's death. When everyone found her, her hands and feet were tied and she could not make a sound.
Not long after Lina got on the train, she was knocked unconscious. When she woke up, she found herself locked up here and knew nothing about what was happening outside.
Annie asked Lina if she heard any noise outside while she was locked up.
Lina thought for a while and provided a clue - she heard a stuttering sound before being rescued.
Anne decided to go back to the first two death scenes and search for clues again.
At this time, some people were dissatisfied, and the one who reacted most violently was the Lame Count.
Because no one knew when it started, Miss Anne, who was initially suspected of being the murderer, gradually took control of the scene.
Anne took off the bandage on her wrist under the look of her mother's collapse, revealing the bright red flame mark on her wrist.
This is the mark left after being possessed by the devil, and it is also the certificate of eternal wisdom.
The passengers were jealous of Anne, and hoped that her wisdom could solve this damn serial tragedy, and the situation finally stabilized.
When Anne returned to the second and first carriages to look for clues, the fourth dead person appeared-the Lame Count.
The cause of death of the Lame Count was the same as the previous three people, and the scene of death was the small room where Lina was imprisoned.
The incident became more and more confusing.
Li Bo was fascinated, but he couldn't figure out who the murderer was after racking his brains. He couldn't help but say: "Sir, in your opinion, who is the most likely murderer?"
The person next to him subconsciously said: "I still think the lover of the second deceased is very suspicious."
Someone else asked: "Where did those people in black clothes and carrying boxes go at the beginning?"
Minister Chen thought for a while and whispered: "Many mysteries are mixed together to form such a complicated incident. The correct answer is to simplify it from complex to simple."
Li Bo didn't understand, "So who is it?"
Minister Chen shook his head and was unwilling to say it clearly.
At this time, Annie found a key clue - the pigeon blood red ruby stolen from the jewelry merchant was hidden in the gap of a seat cushion in the second carriage.
The blood coagulated on the surface of the ruby, forming a dark red film.
Anne wrapped the gem in a handkerchief and put it away. She turned around and gathered everyone, announcing in public: "I already know who the murderer is."
This sentence shocked all the passengers in the carriage and also cheered up the audience outside the screen. The mystery was finally going to be revealed.
Anne's eyes swept through the people in the carriage one by one. Her tone was calm and cool, with a cold insight into the world: "Except for my stupid mother and the first dead person, all the people lying and standing here are the murderer."
"What does she mean by this?" Li Bo couldn't control his voice a little loud.
The first show in the big screening area next door had ended. The prince of Jin came out with Xie Xu and Chen Yuning, and the surprise on his face had not completely dissipated.
The mystery was solved, but there were still many things he couldn't figure out, and he didn't follow Annie's train of thought at the beginning.
Xie Xu and Chen Yuning looked like experienced people. After watching it for the second time, they caught all the details that they didn't notice when they watched it for the first time yesterday. It was much clearer when they thought about it again.
In the mini hall, Annie began to reveal the mystery.
She first looked at the conductor, "Please take off your coat and gloves."
The conductor narrowed his eyes and refused to follow the instructions.
At this time, the men in black suits who had not appeared since they got on the train appeared with Gatling guns and asked everyone to act according to Annie's instructions.
This group of people are Annie's bodyguards and special personnel who monitor her actions.
The conductor had to take off his white uniform and gloves, revealing blood stains on his vest and shirt, and there were also unwashed blood stains on his hands.
Anne scanned everyone's face and took out the ruby wrapped in a handkerchief, "It all started with this ruby..."
Janet and Chad accidentally heard the conversation between the train attendant and the ruby dealer, and they were tempted by the money.
After the two discussed, Janet went to lure the ruby dealer to the bathroom, and Chad took action.
As a result, they were fiercely resisted and Chad was stabbed, but they succeeded in the end.
They killed people, got the ruby, and covered each other to clean up the scene.
When being interrogated, Janet did not tell the truth completely. Chad did not go to the bathroom after the interrogation began. After killing people, he hid in the connection between the second and third carriages, waiting for Janet to find bandages and medicines for him, leaving him to bandage his wounds by himself.
But Janet and Chad didn't know that the jewel merchant was also the train attendant's prey.
The train attendant found that the jewel merchant had been killed and quickly found the murderer, but he was not sure which of the two had the jewel.
He first dealt with the injured Chad, and imitated the scene of Chad killing the jewel merchant.
In fact, when Janet found the medicine and bandages and handed them into the bathroom, Chad was already dead, and it was the train attendant who was inside at the time.
The train attendant waited until the body of the jewel merchant was discovered before he found an opportunity to leave the scene of Chad's death.
Then he returned to the operating room from the roof of the car, threw away the bloody clothes, changed into a uniform and gloves, and then appeared in front of everyone.
This is also the reason why he appeared so late at that time.
The third murderer was the dead Lame Count. The cause of the robber's death was related to Lina who was locked in the room at that time.
The robber accidentally found Lina when he was escaping, and the person who kidnapped Lina was the Lame Count.
Lina hinted that she heard a thumping sound at that time.
In order to cover up the fact of the murder, the Lame Count also imitated the death scene of the previous two victims.
And the person who killed the Lame Count was Lina.
Lina concealed her identity. She did not go to Taicheng to find her relatives, but was a maid who escaped from the Earl's Mansion.
The maid fell in love with the young gardener in the Earl's Mansion, but the Earl also liked the maid, so he killed the gardener.
The maid could not bear the humiliation and tried to escape, but was caught.
After learning that a series of murders had occurred on the train, she had this murder plan in mind.
...
Anne calmly analyzed the entire process and motive of the crime.
This is a serial murder case, but it is not entirely a serial murder case.
Anne finally said: "It is just like a murder case completed by the relay of desire. The devil must admit defeat."
The incident was all over. Anne moved to the clean compartment at the back, away from her mother's disturbance, and drank black tea alone.
A man in a black suit sat opposite her, his handsome face full of innocence, "My name is Jed, and I will protect you from today."
When the train crew was finally arrested, a man in a black suit was sacrificed, and Jed was promoted from a substitute to a regular staff member.
He was full of curiosity about this noble lady who was possessed by the devil.
A new story has begun.
