Dark Fairy

Chapter 26 The Wine Table
Although Ma Liu talked about it very much like boiled mutton, but in fact when he actually saw it, it was still a bit far away.It is estimated that mutton-boiled meat might have looked like this when it first appeared in another world?
It is a simple ordinary large iron pot with a clay oven underneath. The soup base is white soup made from sheep bones, plus some chopped haggis, and some vegetables that can withstand cooking and add flavor.

On the side of the cauldron were plates of mutton slices.It's as thin as paper, and I don't know where to find such a good knife chef.

Not to mention the sauce.It can even be said that there is no sauce.Because the only plate of sesame sauce was obviously bought fresh and was placed in front of Bailang.In front of others, there were only two empty bowls and a pair of chopsticks.One bowl for food and one bowl for wine.

Afterwards, Bailang ordered chili oil, peanut butter, salt and other condiments, and tried to adjust the sesame sauce according to his impression.Finally found: ok.

A slice of mutton, dipped in sauce, entrée.In the end, there was another "uh!" with a heartfelt joy.This stunned the three people sitting around, including Ma Liu.I wonder if this mutton is really so delicious with dipping sauce?
His heart is itchy, but there is still business, and Ma Liu doesn't care much about it. Anyway, there is a lot of mutton, which is rarely eaten by others, but he can eat it often. When the time comes, he will adjust the sauce by himself like Bailang.And there is no special cook, the ingredients are all in front of us, it is impossible not to make them out.

"Brother Bai, eat more. If you are good at this, you will come here often. I dare not say anything else here. This fresh lamb is still common."

"Haha, Ma Liu, the sheep is delicious, but things may not be easy to deal with. I've eaten your drink, so I should talk about the matter, right? Otherwise, you won't be able to eat at ease!"

Ma Liu chuckled, he didn't feel any discomfort when Bailang opened his face so bluntly, on the contrary, he felt that Bailang had a "directness" that others didn't have.There are things to talk about, whether you can do it or not, and what price you have to pay. It is best to go directly, saving time and effort.

"Since Brother Bai speaks quickly, I, Ma Liu, won't hide it anymore."

Putting down the chopsticks in his hand, Ma Liu paused for a moment, and then said: "Before, thanks to Brother Bai's guidance, those girls who were targeted were saved. Now there is a lot of trouble in this city, and everyone is in danger. The bastard behind the scenes has already I started to keep an eye on the fifteen or sixteen girls from another family. In the past half a month, there have been three of them gone, whoever committed crimes. But if you stay in the house, you won’t be attacked when there are crowds and guards, at least for now.”

Hearing that, Bailang also stopped the flying chopsticks in his hand.His face was as sinking as water.

Bailang also knew what Ma Liu said.Even his news must be much faster than Ma Liu, after all, the street wanderers in the knife shop are the most well-informed people.

The tragic situation of the three people who died was exactly the same as that of the five sisters who died under Ma Liu's men. When they were found, they looked like "leftovers".Such an evil act is both heinous and horrifying at the same time.Because the only thing that is certain is that each of the dead was finally taken away by a puff of black smoke that exudes a stench.

In fact, anyone with some knowledge would think of the Qi Refiner because of the black smoke.After all, no matter how strong a warrior is, there are traces to follow, and there will be no such weird and treacherous methods.

But even those who saw through it didn't see it through.It's about Qi refiners doing evil, and the arrests in the yamen are not enough, even if you count the two knife shops.

The only thing that can be counted on is the actions of the City Lord's Mansion.But at present, it seems that there is no news from the City Lord's Mansion.It's just that it should be pursued already, but there should be no progress for the time being.Otherwise, it will not be silent.

"I know about it. You don't want to fight the injustice, do you?"

"Hehe, Brother Bai was joking. How can I dare to show off that kind of stuff that I have squeezed dry? I just want to ask Brother Bai to help me find a way to see if I can help my brother in a compromise. I tried to think of a way to get money from the sister who was locked up and dared not let her out to show her face and couldn't accept business.

Brother Bai has been brainwashed before, see if he can point the way? Ma Liu said while cupping his hands towards Bailang.

In Ma Liu's view, dead people, dead people from other families, although they are "criminal and miserable", what does it have to do with him?The big deal is to curse a few murderous bastards.But in fact, what he was most concerned about was the "sister" in his hand who was troubled by this incident.

Sister-er is no more than an ordinary "living creature", just have a place to live and have a stutter.What is needed is not only food and drink but also the word "nurture".

If you eat well, your body will be plump and not skinny, and your skin will be delicate.

The living environment is not bad, and it is not suitable for heavy physical labor, and it needs the most basic daily physical maintenance.

This requires continuous investment for the sisters and children who bought from Yakou.Otherwise who would pay for it?Even if it is really raised as an animal, wouldn't it be reduced to the worst flesh and blood in the end, wouldn't it be putting the cart before the horse?

These investments are apportioned, although Maliu can still live.But the number is quite a lot after all, and it is even more abrupt when there is only expenditure and no income.After a long time, Ma Liu has to die?

Moreover, Ma Liu thought about it and couldn't find a safe solution.He couldn't afford to gamble, if two more sisters died, the death would be a small matter, but the reputation would be a big matter.Once his Ma Liu's reputation is rotten, how will he do business in the future?
Bailang also understood, and cursed a dog in his heart.But he said with a smile on his face: "Boss Ma's business is so booming, and it's not just a single branch. Those sisters will be raised first, and then the income from other places will be subsidized, so it's over. There's no reason to rush for a while, right?"

The implication is that Ma Liu is stingy.

But Ma Liu was not annoyed, and just said with a wry smile on his face: "Brother Bai, don't mock me, I can't help it. No matter what kind of business it is, what you see or don't see is actually all It’s not that I, Ma Liu, can do whatever I want. I have to follow the instructions of my superiors if they don’t say anything or do.

The above mentioned how much net profit each business needs to make every month, it must be as much as it needs to be, and it is not acceptable to lose a penny.Not to mention relying on other income to fill the hole. "

Ma Liu was not prepared to hide this from Bailang.After all, his own weight and taels are very transparent in the eyes of the people in the knife shop.Be honest and make a good impression.

Help a group of pimps squeeze as many poor girls as possible?Bailang couldn't do this kind of thing even if he couldn't survive.It's true that he is the villain of the sword shop, but villains are not willing to do anything and can do it.At least Bailang doesn't work here.

But Bailang's heart moved, and he asked tentatively: "I'm just curious. Isn't the best way to catch the bastard who committed the crime? How can there be a thousand days to guard against a thief if you only have to be a thief for a thousand days? And as long as you catch that bastard Once and for all."

"Hey, this is easy to say, but it can't be done! That guy hid Brother Bai! Is there anything you can do?!" Ma Liu reacted quickly and immediately looked at Bai Lang with eyes wide open in surprise and expectation. .

What Bailang was waiting for was the other party's words, so he didn't make a fool of himself and said, "You should have caught fish before, right? First put the bait, and then sit and wait for the fish to take the bait. If you are worried that it will not be easy to catch, then cast the nest first."

"Brother Bai, you mean to lure that guy out? Oh! I understand!"
