MTL - Conan’s World Stand-in-Chapter 83 Laobaigan
"Ah... I'm full. It's the first time I've eaten Chinese food like this. It's different from the Xiaolongbao Mapo Tofu I've eaten before."
After lunch, Hattori Heiji put down his chopsticks and touched his belly with satisfaction. Guan Dounan still cooks Chinese dishes today, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, shredded potatoes with vinegar, and ordinary roasted tofu. It's just that these ordinary home-cooked dishes are not very common in Neon, so even Hattori looked surprised when he ate it for the first time.
"Most of the 'Chinese cuisine' on Neon's side has been improved to suit the taste of Neon people. The real Chinese cuisine is probably like this... Of course, even in the interior of Chinese cuisine, there will be differences due to taste and ingredients. They are divided into many factions because of differences in practices and practices, and there is no fully unified standard.”
Guan Dounan explained the knowledge about Chinese cuisine casually. Although Neon is very close to Huaxia in terms of culture, but when it comes to Chinese cuisine, all Chinese cuisines are Xiaolongbao, double-cooked pork and mapo tofu, and the stereotype is outrageous.
"Eh...that's it, then what is the authentic way of doing it? For example, this Mapo tofu, is this the way the authentic way of doing it is..." Hattori Heiji pointed to the few steps on the dining table that were not spicy or spicy, but simply boiled cabbage Tofu asked.
"First of all, it's not Mapo tofu, it's just a tofu dish I made casually. Then, the authentic method... I'm not sure about it, but it's definitely not with strawberries."
Although Guan Dounan can cook some home-cooked dishes, he is not a gourmet. If you really ask him about the authentic methods of various dishes or the origin of the development, he can only be blinded. However, Hattori Heiji's question reminded him of the dark dishes he had seen before, adding strawberries, xiaolongbao, and even pearls in milk tea to Mapo tofu...
"Well, adding strawberries, what is the devil's way of eating..." Hattori Heiji had an expression of "I was shocked", unable to imagine what kind of dark food it was, "Sure enough, something should be authentic to taste. , When you go to Osaka, I will take you to eat absolutely authentic Okonomiyaki, the taste will definitely be different from what you eat in other places."
"I think it's more important to think about whether it's good or not, rather than the so-called authentic... Cough, it's more important. Of course, I also add strawberries to Mapo tofu... Cough, I can't accept it..."
After being beaten twice, Conan now has an ice pack on his head, and said weakly, coughing from time to time as he spoke, as if the cold was getting worse.
"Oh? You have a cold, little brother. Speaking of Chinese cuisine, I also brought a special medicine for colds."
Hattori Heiji saw Conan's ill appearance, turned the brim of the hat on his head back, reached into his backpack and touched it, took out a bottle wrapped in cloth, opened the lid mysteriously, and gave it to him. Conan poured a glass of colorless and transparent liquid that flowed out of it.
"Wait, shouldn't this thing be..." Although Guan Dounan was far away, looking at the shape of the bottle, there was a faint smell that seemed to be smelled in some small restaurants before crossing...
"Come on, drink this and the cold will be cured."
It's just that before he could stop it, Hattori couldn't help but directly handed the cup of suspicious liquid to Conan, and Conan, who was drowsy, also directly raised his head and drank the liquid inside.
"Ugh...cough cough, wow so spicy, so spicy, cough, so spicy..."
"Could this smell be white wine?" Guan Dounan saw Conan's reaction, and smelled the wine again, his eyelids twitched.
"Yes, it's a kind of wine called Baigan. It is said to be from the northern part of China. It is very effective for treating colds." Hattori lifted the cloth wrapped around the surface of the wine bottle, revealing the words Guan Dounan was familiar with Heng Mou, an old Baigan. ,only…
"Let's not talk about which alcoholic taught you this recipe for drinking to cure a cold. It seems that Neon is not allowed to drink alcohol under the age of 20, and you can't buy it. You should still be underage now, right?" Guan Dounan forced it. Controlling the urge to cover his face, although he used white wine to wipe the soles of his feet to help dissipate heat when he had a fever when he was a child, drinking directly can cure a cold. What kind of alcoholic recipe is this...
After Conan drank this large glass of high-quality white wine, except for a little uncomfortable at first, it seems normal now, but he has been drinking water with a water glass, which should be to relieve the irritation of the white wine.
"Originally, it was to prepare a gift for the parents who might meet Kudo, so I randomly picked a bottle from my dad's collection... Let's not talk about this, that case, what do you think?"
Hattori Heiji put on his hat again, and asked Guan Dounan with a little seriousness.
"Ah, you said this..."
Guan Dounan picked up the letter of entrustment Heiji Hattori gave him again, "There is very little information in the letter, only that there was a strange case in Shanni Temple two years ago. On the beams several meters high, there are no suspicious marks in the room, and the dust on the beams has not changed at all..."
"But ~www.novelbuddy.com~ there was a local legend of 'Mistengu', which is said to be a monster with a brutal temperament and flying. Although the police closed the case by suicide at that time, everyone said it was the curse of the kotengu. So I hope Mr. Detective can find out the case..."
"Kawtengu or something is completely nonsense, but about that bizarre case, it is interesting." Hattori Heiji took out a map from his satchel, "I did some research through some channels, and basically mentioned it to the letter. The information I received is the same, there is no clue that it is a homicide, but at the same time, there is not enough evidence to say that it was a suicide. The location of the crime is in the mountains near Tokyo, not far from here, if you go now, it should be just right To be able to get there before dark."
"It's a temple anyway, so I guess we can stay there overnight and investigate the case by the way. How about it? Would you like to go together?" Hattori Heiji waved the map in his hand and asked a little provocatively.
"Fog Tengu..." Guan Dounan looked at the location on the map, and it was indeed not very far from Mihua Town. He has gradually had a feeling now that the more unreliable legends spread, the closer they may be to the truth, maybe the foggy dog is like this.
And if this case really involves demons, ghosts, or stand-in messengers, it happens to be the business scope of his Class N specialist.
