Chapter 237
Before going to bed yesterday, Ye Xu took the time to focus on observing some of the people in the house, and also identified several players from it. However, due to limited time, he did not see too many people.
Today, the player was eliminated. When Ye Xu went to observe again, he found that everyone was much more cautious.
Ye Xu didn't find any more players, maybe it was because they really didn't exist, or maybe they were better hidden.
Mo Bei had no interest in observing them, he was doing statistics. Use perception skills to observe Hu Yiniang's residence and her usual habits, trying to analyze what she is afraid of.
Players need to make Aunt Hu appear in her original form, and what can make her appear in her original form must be the same item that exists in the dungeon. Aunt Hu herself wouldn't keep it by her side, so there was almost no such thing in her house.
Mo Bei sorted out all the things in her courtyard, and wanted to use the exclusion method to find out what she was afraid of.
"There is gold and silver, jade, jade, crystal... These gems are..." Mo Beiyue's arrangement became bigger and bigger.
There are N types of gems alone. Crystals, jadeite, agate, etc. are not the same thing. If you really want to count, there are actually many possibilities for what Hu Yiniang would be afraid of. By analogy, the same is true for wood. Different woods represent different things. It is difficult to generalize.
When Mo Bei finished sorting, he found that common metal gems and wood were all found in Hu Yiniang. She was afraid that the possibility of special kinds of these things was not particularly high, but flowers, plants and food were more reliable.
Ye Xu listened to Mo Bei's report summary, and his first reaction was: "Go and ask the kitchen if she has any taboos and then play?"
Mo Bei: "..." Yes.
In the same way, ask Aunt Hu's personal maid what she hates. No matter what gems they hate, what flowers and plants they hate, or what wood they hate, it is a guide for them. If you send these things to Aunt Hu in the same way, you will always be able to try them out.
"But is this copy really that simple?" Mo Bei doubted.
"I don't know if it's that simple, but it's definitely not that complicated."
The dungeon has placed restrictions on the player from the very beginning, such as not giving the player the memory of the original owner, making it very easy for the player to be exposed. Such a Tiankeng start often means that the difficulty of customs clearance will decrease.
Otherwise, in such a difficult start, players hardly have much energy to care about the mission, and the clearance rate must be pitifully low. This is not a copy of punishing the wicked. The character scores of the players present are at the normal value, good or bad, so they will not deliberately toss them like this.
What made Ye Xu think that the way to clear the dungeon was very simple was the elimination process of the player today. When I saw Aunt Hu, I was a little excited and found out, and then took away two players. This difficulty is a little higher than Ye Xu expected.
It's just that Ye Xu is lucky, his identity is the second young master. Even if he appears ooc's words and deeds, the big boss will be suspicious at most, and he will not clean up as he wants to clean up like ordinary servants.
Mo Bei was persuaded by him, pretended to pass meals to the second young master, and went to the big kitchen. However, no gain.
Aunt Hu has no taboos and eats everything, so every time the kitchen cooks for her, she will not avoid any special ingredients.
Before Mo Bei came, he was already mentally prepared. People with brains would not expose such things directly. So what Concubine Hu didn't say was more logical.
But she certainly didn't really eat everything, at most she didn't eat it after those things were delivered. Anyway, there is nothing to lose if you put it in front of you, as long as you don't eat it.
So Mo Bei quickly asked the personal maids and servants around Hu Yiniang what taboos they had. It might not be useful, but in case. In case, every time Aunt Hu eats, she swaps dishes with the servant girl.
However, they also have no taboos, or as subordinates, they are not qualified to have taboos, and you can eat whatever is given to you.
Mo Bei thoughtfully returned to Ye Xu: "I don't know about the kitchen, but we can see her preferences every time she eats."
There must be something wrong if she doesn't touch some dishes or asks others to eat them for her. Ye Xu is a picky eater, but he clearly doesn't like to eat and let the kitchen cook it, which is very strange. It's even more strange to let others eat it when you don't eat it yourself.
"The little girl in the kitchen said that every time Aunt Hu finished her meal, she and a few young ladies went to clean up the leftovers. She still remembered which dishes Aunt Hu would eat more. Which ones will eat less."
So Mo Bei had this conjecture and started directly from the dining habits.
It just so happened that Aunt Hu and Ye Ye were waiting for dinner at the moment, and the two immediately let go of their perceptions and watched Aunt Hu's movements carefully.
After the dishes came up, Aunt Hu first took the bamboo shoots with chopsticks for Master Ye: "The doctor said that you should eat more vegetarian food. I'm watching you this time. You are not allowed to eat meat."
Ye Ye reluctantly ate the bamboo shoots: "The doctor only said that you should eat more vegetarian food, but he didn't say you can't eat meat."
"That concubine doesn't matter." Aunt Hu smiled and put Ye Ye's favorite Dongpo meat into her bowl.
In order to set the plate beautifully, there were only a few small pieces in a plate, and she ate them one by one, which made Ye Ye feel very heartbroken. wanted to eat but couldn't, so could only watch Aunt Hu finish eating it.
Ye Ye coughed dryly, and took a piece of fish for Aunt Hu: "Try this boiled fish, it was made by the new Shu cuisine cook in the house."
After Aunt Hu took a sip, she said resentfully, "My mouth is so numb."
The dishes in Shu are not necessarily spicy, but most of them are numb. For those who have never eaten dishes cooked with Sichuan peppercorns, even a little peppercorns will make their mouths numb.
After that, Concubine Hu never touched the fish again, but she was very attentive to serve Master Ye with vegetarian dishes, and she only ate meat.
Ye Xu looked at it for a long time and asked Mo Bei: "Are foxes purely carnivorous?"
"Yes." Mo Bei thought about it for a while, "But he's all grown up, so he should be able to eat vegetarian too?"
"Being able to eat and loving it are two different things." Ye Xu shook his head.
Aunt Hu obviously doesn't like vegetarian food anymore, so it's understandable that she doesn't eat vegetarian food. And she has been giving Ye Ye a vegetarian dish, because with the doctor's diagnosis, she can justify it.
Just from this meal alone, it cannot be concluded that Aunt Hu can't eat any vegetarian dishes, and she has to observe it a few more times. On the other hand, Mo Bei was brooding about the boiled fish that he hadn't touched a few times.
When Ye Xu thought he would make some constructive comments, he heard him rebuke with a heartache: "Waste food!"
Ye Xu: "..."
You'd better shut up bro.
"It's too difficult." Mo Bei was lying on the table, weak, "there are so many ingredients in the world, and she's not a vegetarian, the ghost knows what she can't eat? What if she didn't change back to her original form because of what she ate?"
"So there should be other key evidence pointing directly to that thing, but we haven't found it yet."
Of course, this is nonsense.
Before falling asleep at night, Ye Xu took a special look at whether Hu Yiniang had a late-night snack, and found no. Suddenly realized that there didn't seem to be any snacks in Aunt Hu's house.
The desserts in the house are nothing more than those kinds of cakes. If there is only one kind of cake and there is no cake, maybe there is something in there that Hu Yiniang won't eat. But there are none, which means that in all the pastries, there are things that she does not eat.
Ye Xu thought about it and found that it was nothing more than glutinous rice flour, sugar, and salt, and both sugar and salt were added when cooking, so the probability of glutinous rice flour was higher.
He suddenly came to the spirit, is it really glutinous rice flour? Even if it is, how can force Concubine Hu to eat glutinous rice?
It's a pity that when the dungeon started, the Dragon Boat Festival had already passed, otherwise, you would know whether Hu Yiniang would eat glutinous rice or not just by looking at whether she ate zongzi or not.
In addition to the evil zongzi, the skin of the dumplings is also made of glutinous rice, the glutinous rice is also mixed with glutinous rice, and the simmered wheat is also filled with glutinous rice. These things can be sent to her yard at will, but Ye Xu has no suitable name.
The worst way is to bribe the cook and let him make food with glutinous rice and give it to Aunt Hu, which is too easy to expose.
Ye Xu decided to act on a whim tomorrow, and if it was a big deal, he would go to the most famous dim sum shop in the city to pack some snacks made of glutinous rice and distribute them to the masters in the house. The food in that dim sum shop is extremely delicious, and under normal circumstances, no one would throw it away and not eat it.
After thinking about it, Ye Xu finally got a good night's sleep. In sleep, vaguely heard some strange calls, which were not loud and could easily be ignored. Ye Xu, who was in a light sleep, was not disturbed by this, and he didn't care about it when he woke up the next day, maybe he didn't remember it.
After washing up in the morning, Ye Xu shared his guess with Mo Bei.
"Glutinous rice?" Mo Bei thought for a while, "It's possible, aren't zombies afraid of glutinous rice?"
"Is that made up in a zombie movie?" Ye Xu was skeptical, but he didn't take the initiative to find out, so he didn't dare to speak too hard.
Mo Bei also didn't know the truth. Not only did he not know, but he also said as if standing and talking without back pain: "Just ask Jiang Yuexuan. Isn't she raising zombies? Tsk tsk tsk, she's really serious."
Ye Xu: "... She seems to raise all the monsters in the Western Fantasy setting, undead and demon fallen angels, and there are no zombies in the Eastern stories."
"It's all the same." Mo Bei was unmoved, "Xihuan's carrion is not as good as a zombie."
When Sister Xuan heard you, she could kill you, believe it or not?
Ye Xu's name remained silent, so as not to be angered by Jiang Yuexuan in the future for revenge.
Coincidentally, Ye Xu had just finished breakfast and had not had time to go out to buy cakes. Mo Bei, who was monitoring Aunt Hu's breakfast situation, said with a strange expression: "Aunt Hu ate Xiao Shaomai in the morning, she can eat glutinous rice."
Ye Xu was a little disappointed: "Really? Are you sure that the simmered wheat is filled with glutinous rice and not ordinary rice?"
"Have you seen shumai with ordinary rice?" Mo Bei asked back, "I only know that the northern shaomai does not put rice and is directly stuffed. But in the southern shumai that I love, there is no enlarged rice instead of glutinous rice."
If the rice is replaced, the tragic level is no different from making rice dumplings with rice. Both siomai and zongzi have the soft and glutinous taste.
"Okay, it looks like it's not glutinous rice anymore. But she really doesn't have dim sum in her house. Could it be that she can't eat other things in the dim sum?" Ye Xu frowned.
Mo Bei said coldly: "Maybe it's just because I don't like it? There is no meat in the dim sum."
This morning, Aunt Hu ate breakfast, all of which had meat. Even the simmered wheat has diced meat in it.
Ye Xu felt that there was nothing wrong with his idea.
