Chapter 15 Special Lion Head
When we returned to Ye Mansion in Repulse Bay, it was completely dark. The street lights in the garden were turned on one by one, illuminating the Western-style villa.
On the way back, 000 was online
"45% of the mission progress has been completed, and a bonus of 50 million Hong Kong dollars will be issued."
Unexpectedly, going crazy in the board meeting could also increase the task progress. Ye Lin felt a little regretful that he didn't go crazy in the company in the afternoon, otherwise he should have smashed the meeting room.
Ah Hui saw the young master grinning inexplicably in the rearview mirror again, and was so scared that goose bumps appeared all over his body. His young master must have been mad today, right?
Fang Bo had already been waiting at the door of the hall. His old friend Lao Huang had just called him and he already knew about the young master's battle situation that day.
The bodyguards who came back at noon surrounded him and Madam Rebecca, telling them how powerful the young master was in the Atrium Building and how badly Ji Yuanping had been treated.
He was so excited after hearing that he happily asked the kitchen to prepare a big meal to reward the young master.
As a result, in the afternoon, Lao Huang called him and said that the young master had caused trouble in the company again. He was now feeling mixed emotions.
The black tiger-head rushed into the garden towards the light, and Fang Bo hurried forward to meet him.
"The young master is back, come in quickly."
When he saw the handsome young master, Fang Bo immediately put all his worries behind him.
I thought, forget it, I don’t care about the company anymore, as long as the young master is happy, if it really doesn’t work out, I can just go to Italy with Madam Rebecca, at least the young master won’t suffer.
"Angel, you're back. Tell me what you did today."
Aunt Rebecca wore a purple lace dress and a white fur coat today.
The maid, Amei, held up the long, floor-length skirt for her, and Rebecca had an anxious expression on her face.
Ye Lin was a little tired today. After kissing Rebecca on the cheek, he asked her:
"Zia, didn't the bodyguard tell you he was back?"
"They want to hear you tell them again. They don't know what happened at the company this afternoon."
Rebecca hugged Ye Lin's arm and shook it back and forth, forcing Ye Lin to tell it again.
Sitting at the dining table, Ye Lin could only tell Rebecca the story again.
Gained loyal listeners Rebecca, Fang Bo, Aunt Liu, David, Amei, Lillian, Amo
While listening, a group of people pulled Ah Hui aside to ask for details.
David's Chinese is limited, and he kept asking "what?"
After he finished speaking, everyone in the room started discussing heatedly what to do with the company, and finally no one bothered Ye Lin anymore.
Looking at the full dining table, there is a wide variety of Chinese and Western food, among which the two lion heads placed in the middle are the most eye-catching.
One was four lion heads that Aunt Liu often made and placed on a plate, and the other was special. There were only two lion heads placed in the center of a Western-style plate with a gilded edge, decorated with mint leaves on the side, and some black truffles sprinkled on the two lion heads.
I have to say, this dish is very strange, but it goes perfectly with this strange villa.
Seeing Ye Lin staring at the lion's head, Rebecca smiled and said, "David learned this specially. He said it's the recipe from Shunhong Restaurant. Why don't you try it and see how it tastes?"
After hearing what Rebecca said, Ye Lin understood that David and Aunt Liu were competing with each other again over the lion head.
"Then I must try it."
He motioned to Lillian to bring him a serving of lion's head. The lion's head made by David smelled really good.
Ye Lin cut a piece of it with a dinner knife and was about to taste it. When he was about to put it into his mouth, he smelled the fragrance of this authentic lion's head and suddenly an idea flashed through his mind. He probably knew how the original owner died.
I looked around the restaurant and silently remembered the people present. The traitor must be one of the people in the restaurant now.
Because he had to see himself eating this special lion's head before he could proceed with his next plan.
Ye Lin put down his fork and said to Rebecca, "I'm a little tired. I'll go to the kitchen to find a glass of milk. After drinking it, I'll go to bed. Good night, Zia."
Seeing that he didn't eat anymore, Rebecca seemed really tired and touched Ye Lin's hair a few times.
"Okay, baby, go to bed early. Good night."
He stood up and casually called out to David who was in the middle of a heated discussion.
"David, warm me a cup of milk."
David ended the discussion and trotted to the kitchen. "Okay, Master."
Ye Lin leaned against the kitchen door frame and watched David heating milk, and talked to him
"David, why did you think of going to the restaurant to learn lion head?"
"Young Master, after coming to the Ye family, I found that I have many shortcomings. If I want to be the head chef in the kitchen, I must be able to make lion's head." David said to Ye Lin seriously.
Ye Lin didn't know how to evaluate this foreigner's thinking.
"Then why did you choose Shunhong Restaurant?"
David tilted his head, thought hard, and said, "One day I saw the maids eating lion's head outside a restaurant. They all said it was delicious, so I went to ask about it."
Ye Lin frowned. "Who is there?"
David said in embarrassment, "It's been too long, Master. I really can't remember it."
David handed the hot milk to Ye Lin.
Ye Lin looked at the milk skin gradually forming in the glass and asked casually, "Can I see how you make your lion's head?"
"okokok!" David knew that he was a genius. It seemed that the lion's head tonight had won the young master's attention.
David put on his chef's hat, washed his hands again, took out his tools and started working quickly. Ye Lin stood opposite the cooking table, looking at the various ingredients David had found, including a small bottle of yellow oil, something that should definitely not appear in the Ye family.
Peanut oil!
Ye Lin casually took the palm-sized oil bottle in his palm and played with it. "David, what is this?"
David raised his chin and said proudly, "This is the secret oil the restaurant chef gave me. He said adding a little bit to lion's head and salad will make it taste better. How about the lion's head tonight, young master?"
David rubbed his hands and waited expectantly for Ye Lin to comment on his lion head.
So that's how it is. Ye Lin stuffed the peanut oil into his trouser pocket and turned to take the elevator upstairs.
"The lion head you made is very authentic. I'll take this. Don't tell anyone else. You're being sold every day and still helping people count their money. You better be more careful."
David didn't expect that the young master would steal his magic oil!
He wanted to reach out to stop her but then pulled his hand back cowardly. “But! Ok, Master.”
David watched with heartache as his precious magic oil was taken away by the young master.
What else is there to count money? Didn’t the young master see him making lion heads? Why did he leave?
Ye Lin returned to the bedroom and took out the small bottle of peanut oil.
Because of Ye Lin's health condition, the family only uses olive oil, rapeseed oil, and butter for both Chinese and Western meals, and peanut oil is absolutely prohibited.
I guess David only cooks Western food and doesn't know much about peanut oil. This foreign chef almost only uses olive oil when cooking, so no one has ever taught him what peanut oil looks like.
Did he happen to run into a few maids eating lion's head? This was probably the murderer's own act. The maids in the restaurant today were Ah Mei, Ah Mo, and Lillian. It seems the traitor was one of these three.
Aunt Liu usually uses olive oil to make lion's head, but the taste is always lacking. David used peanut oil tonight, and the taste was just right.
The dish was so authentic that Ye Lin noticed something was wrong.
If he guessed correctly, the situation that day was like this: David couldn't recognize peanut oil and hadn't finished learning how to make lion's head. In order to fight with Aunt Liu, he used this bottle of peanut oil to mix the salad.
When the traitor saw that David made salad today, he paid attention to Ye Lin's condition. Because the amount was small, it would not have much effect in a short time. The young master would only feel a little dizzy, so he went back to the house to rest. He had the habit of taking a nap, so it was normal for him to go to sleep after a meal.
After seeing the success of the first step, the insider started the second step of the plan. The smell of aromatherapy entered the room, and the sealed room soon triggered the young master's asthma.
The combined effects of peanut oil and aromatherapy caused allergies and asthma to flare up simultaneously, making the sleepy young master unable to get up or make a sound. It became increasingly difficult for him to breathe, and he suffocated to death in bed.
