Chapter 785: Houttuynia cordata?
"Uh... this little guy is actually Lugia, but he ran away from home." Heath scratched his head. Little Lugia was too curious. Heath himself didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing, but Heath felt that it was not a good thing. After all, he had seen the consequences of being too curious. The unfortunate little Lugia once turned into Dark Lugia. Heath suspected that this was also related to little Lugia's strong curiosity.
When Xiumei heard Heath's words, her eyes suddenly dimmed and the smile on her face became forced.
“It’s not good to run away from home… As for me, I ran away from home because I had a quarrel with my parents, and then I met a bad guy, who raped me, killed me, and threw my head here…” Xiumei’s voice became lowered, and Heath listened silently. However, looking at the look on little Lugia’s face, Heath knew that little Lugia probably couldn’t hear it, but that was good, so as not to bring too much psychological burden to the little guy.
Heath looked at the poor girl, and he finally understood why the girl was here. However, Heath was also very curious whether her problem had been solved. After all, it stands to reason that such a terrible case would be the priority for Junsha and others to solve. You must know that Miss Junsha in this world is similar to the police in her previous life. The most resources are invested in homicide cases. Even unsolved homicide cases will become backlog cases, and will be discussed every year. If there are new clues, they will be reopened. Therefore, it is very difficult for the murderer to escape.
But Heath did not ask Xiumei immediately. After all, he knew that sometimes for some ghosts, recalling the past events was a very cruel thing, and it would also make their mental state unstable.
Heath planned to ask Miss Junsha later to see if she had any clues. If the criminal was not caught, he could only ask Xiumei to see if she knew any news about the criminal, and then arrest the criminal.
"Oh, I accidentally thought of those unhappy things. Boss Heath, can you make me a breakfast? Any breakfast is fine!" Xiumei said happily. Heath looked at Xiumei who pretended to be strong and nodded.
Although this girl didn't give Heath a very good first impression yesterday, Heath now thinks that she is still a pretty good girl.
"Then how about I make you a very special meal? The taste is actually quite good, but it's a bit picky about people." Heath saw Xiumei's request for food, and he really didn't expect that this girl actually liked that kind of food. You know, there are relatively few people who like that kind of food, but it's rare to meet one, so Heath also planned to treat this guest well.
"Huh?" Xiumei was indeed interested.
The little Lugia on the other side was even more curious, but after looking around and seeing nothing, it went back obediently, because Mew was telling it some little tips for living in the human world. Lugia was not willing to listen at first, and then he was taught a lesson by Mew. It has to be said that although Mew is not particularly strong, it is still easy for it to bully a little Lugia who has not yet reached adulthood.
"That's it. It's called stinky vegetable here, but I prefer to call it watercress." Heath took out pieces of white vegetables with a smile, and then a special smell rushed into Heath's overly sensitive nostrils.
Houttuynia cordata, or fish mint, is a very special food. People who like it want to eat it every day. They must eat it when they eat hot pot and add it to milk tea. But people who hate it will want to vomit when they smell it. However, in places like Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Chongqing in the previous life, Houttuynia cordata was a favorite of many people. When Heath went to Yunnan Province for a trip in his previous life, he had eaten a snack called wolf tooth potato. The taste was very good, and the Houttuynia cordata in it was also very good, crispy and delicious, making people feel addicted to it. However, friends who were traveling with him said that it felt like eating a dead fish after taking a bite, which was totally unacceptable. Houttuynia cordata is also added to some seasonings in Yunnan Province.
However, compared with other provinces and cities in Guizhou, it is still far inferior. The special city of Guiyang consumes a lot of Houttuynia cordata every day. The amount of Houttuynia cordata eaten can be calculated by tons. It is the city with the highest consumption of Houttuynia cordata in the country. There is even an Internet celebrity store that has come up with a so-called Guizhou bloodline test and adds Houttuynia cordata to milk tea. However, Heath thinks that is just a gimmick, similar to hype.
Even people in Sichuan and Shu regions would not add chili peppers or peppercorns to milk tea to test the so-called bloodline.
But I have to say that food like Houttuynia cordata is indeed very picky about people.
“Eh??? I want to eat this cold dish and add some fried potatoes, is that okay?” Xiumei suddenly became excited .
"Eh? Miss Xiumei, do you like it?" Heath pretended to be surprised. In fact, Heath had known that Xiumei liked it for a long time, because he saw Xiumei's desire for food. Maybe Xiumei was missing this special food at the moment, so she let Heath see it.
"Hmm!" Xiumei was very excited. When she was in school, she liked to order one of these and eat it with potatoes. It tasted great.
Unfortunately, he later left his hometown and came to Jinhuang City to work hard, so he couldn’t eat it anymore. Later, when he wanted to go home to eat, he encountered that devil.
Heath nodded, and then began to prepare what Xiumei wanted to eat. Many people like to eat Houttuynia cordata cold-mixed, because it tastes crispy and raw, and the taste is the best. Some people don't like cooked Houttuynia cordata, which is very unique, but Heath also thinks that it tastes better when it's raw and crispy.
Wolf tooth potatoes are actually a whole potato, which tastes better than ordinary French fries. They can be fried crispy or very burnt, depending on the customer's preference. Heath made them crispy this time because Miss Xiumei likes to eat crispy food, and cold-mixed zheergen is even simpler, so soon, a breakfast with the taste of Xiumei's hometown was served to her. Looking at Xiumei, whose eyes turned red with excitement, Heath showed a gentle smile. This little girl is actually not a bad person, she just has a more eccentric personality.
"Ha..." Heath exhaled, and a white mist floated in the air.
