Before going to bed yesterday, Ye Xu took the time to focus on observing some people in the mansion, and also distinguished a few players from them. But because of the limited time, he didn't see too many people.
There was a situation where players were eliminated today. 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's because there are no more players inside, or maybe they're hiding better.
Mo Bei was not interested in observing them, he was doing statistics. Use perception skills to observe Aunt Hu's residence and her daily habits, trying to analyze what she is afraid of.
Players need to make Aunt Hu reveal her original form, and what can make her reveal her original form must be an item in the dungeon. Aunt Hu herself doesn't keep it by her side, so there is almost no such thing in her house.
Mo Bei sorted out all the things in her yard, trying to use the method of elimination to find out what she was afraid of.
"Gold and silver, jade, emerald, crystal...these gemstones..." Mo Beiyue straightened his head.
There are N types of gems alone. Crystals, emeralds, and agates are not the same thing. If you really want to count them, there are actually many possibilities for what Aunt Hu is afraid of. By analogy, wood is the same, different wood represents different things, it is difficult to generalize.
After Mo Bei finished sorting out, he found that Aunt Hu had all the common metal gems and wood. It is not very likely that she is afraid of a special type of these things, but flowers, plants, and food are more reliable.
After listening to Mo Bei's report, Ye Xu's first reaction was: "Go and ask the kitchen if she has any taboos, why don't you just play?"
Mo Bei: "..." Yes.
In the same way, go ask Aunt Hu's personal maid what she hates. No matter what gems, flowers, or wood they hate, it is a guide for them. Send these things to Aunt Hu one by one, and you can always try them out.
"But is this copy really that simple?" Mo Bei expressed doubts.
"I don't know if it's that simple, but it's definitely not that complicated."
The dungeon has restricted 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, with such a difficult start, players hardly have much energy to care about the task, and the clearance rate must be pitifully low. This is not a dungeon of punishing the villains. The character ratings of the players present are at least normal, neither good nor bad, so it is not necessary to deliberately torment them like this.
What made Ye Xu think that the way to clear the dungeon was very simple was the elimination process of that player today. It's just that when I saw Aunt Hu, I got a little excited and was discovered, and then took away two players. This difficulty was 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 has OOC words and deeds, the big boss will be suspicious at most, and will not clean up as he wants to deal with ordinary servants.
Mo Bei was persuaded by him, and pretended to pass the meal to the second young master, and ran to the big kitchen. However, nothing was gained.
Aunt Hu has no taboos, she can eat anything, so every time the kitchen cooks for her, she doesn't avoid any ingredients.
Before Mo Bei came, he was already mentally prepared. People with a brain usually don't directly expose such things as weaknesses. So what Aunt Hu didn't say was more logical.
But she certainly didn't really eat everything, at most she didn't eat it after it was delivered. Anyway, there is no loss in showing it in front of you, as long as you don't eat it.
So Mo Bei quickly asked Aunt Hu's personal maids and servants what taboos they had. It might not be useful, but just in case. What if, in fact, every time Aunt Hu eats, she exchanges dishes with the servant girl.
However, they have no taboos, or as servants, they are not qualified to have taboos, and you can eat whatever is given to you.
Mo Bei returned to Ye Xu thoughtfully: "I don't know about the kitchen, but we can see what her preferences are every time she eats."
If she refuses to touch some dishes or asks others to eat for her, there must be something wrong. Ye Xu is a picky eater, but it's strange to let the kitchen make it when he clearly doesn't like it. It is even more strange to let others eat without eating it yourself.
"The little girl in the kitchen said that every time Aunt Hu finished her meal, she and a few girls 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 guess, and started directly from the eating habits.
It just so happened that Aunt Hu was waiting for dinner with Master Ye at this moment, and the two of them immediately let go of their senses and watched Aunt Hu's movements carefully.
After the dishes were served, Aunt Hu picked up a chopstick of shredded bamboo shoots for Master Ye: "The doctor said that you should eat more vegetarian food. I'll watch you for this meal. You are not allowed to eat meat."
Master Ye reluctantly ate the shredded bamboo shoots: "The doctor only said to be more vegetarian, but didn't say that you can't eat meat."
"The concubine doesn't care." Aunt Hu smiled and put Master Ye's favorite Dongpo meat into her bowl.
In order to present the plate beautifully, there were only a few small pieces in one plate, and she ate them one by one, which made Master Ye's heart ache very much. I wanted to eat it but couldn't, so I could only watch Aunt Hu finish it.
Master Ye coughed dryly, and took a piece of fish for Aunt Hu: "Try this boiled fish dish, it's made by the new Sichuan cuisine cook in the house."
After taking a sip, Aunt Hu said bitterly, "My mouth is so numb."
Shu dishes are not necessarily spicy, but most of them are numb. For those who have never eaten dishes cooked with peppercorns, even a little peppercorns will make their mouths numb.
Afterwards, Aunt Hu never touched the fish again, but graciously served Mr. Ye with vegetarian dishes, and she only ate meat.
Ye Xu looked at it for a long time and asked Mo Bei: "Do foxes eat pure meat?"
"That's right." Mo Bei thought for a while, "But they are all fine, so they should be able to be vegetarians?"
"Being able to eat and liking to eat 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 touch vegetarian dishes. And she has been serving Vegetarian Vegetables to Master Ye, because of the doctor's diagnosis, it can be justified.
Just this meal alone cannot tell what kind of vegetarian dishes Aunt Hu can't eat, so I have to observe it a few more times. Mo Bei, on the other hand, was obsessed with the pot of boiled fish that he hadn't touched a few times.
When Ye Xu thought he would express some constructive opinions, he heard him reprimand with a heartbroken face: "Waste of food!"
Ye Xu: "..."
You better shut up, bro.
"It's too difficult." Mo Bei lay on the table, weak, "There are so many ingredients in the world, and she is not a vegetarian, who knows what she can't eat? What if she didn't change back to her original shape because of what she ate?"
"So there should be other key evidence that points 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 to see if Aunt Hu had eaten supper, and found that she hadn't. Suddenly realized that there seemed to be no refreshments in Aunt Hu's room.
The desserts in the house are nothing more than those kinds of cakes. If there is only one kind of cake, there may be something that Aunt Hu doesn't eat. But there were none of them, which meant that there were things she didn't eat in all the pastries.
Ye Xu thought about it, and it was nothing more than glutinous rice flour, sugar, salt, etc., and sugar and salt are added when cooking, so the probability of glutinous rice flour is higher.
He suddenly regained his energy, is it really glutinous rice flour? Even if it is, how can I force Aunt Hu to eat glutinous rice
It's a pity that when the dungeon started, the Dragon Boat Festival had already passed, otherwise, just by seeing whether Aunt Hu ate zongzi, she would know whether she ate glutinous rice or not.
In addition to the evil zongzi, the skin of the glutinous rice balls is also made of glutinous rice. The glutinous rice lotus root is also mixed with glutinous rice, and the siu mai 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 ask him to make food with glutinous rice for Aunt Hu, which is too easy to expose.
Ye Xu decided to play it by ear tomorrow, at worst, 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 snack shop is extremely delicious, and under normal circumstances no one would throw away the food.
After figuring it out, Ye Xu finally got a good night's sleep. In my sleep, I vaguely heard some strange calls, which were not loud and could easily be ignored. Ye Xu, who was in a light sleep, didn't disturb his dream because of 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?"
"That was fabricated in the zombie movie, right?" Ye Xu was skeptical, but he didn't take the initiative to find out, so he didn't dare to speak too seriously.
Mo Bei also didn't know the truth. Not only did he not know, but he also said as if he didn't feel pain in his back while standing and talking: "Just ask Jiang Yuexuan. Doesn't she raise zombies? Tsk tsk tsk, she is really harsh."
Ye Xu: "... She seems to raise all monsters in Western fantasy settings, undead and demons and fallen angels, and there are no zombies in Eastern stories."
"It's all the same." Mo Bei was unmoved, "Xihuan's carrion corpses are not as good as zombies."
Sister Xuan heard what you said, do you believe that she can beat you to death
Keep silent about Ye Xu's name, so as not to be retaliated by Jiang Yuexuan in the future.
Coincidentally, before Ye Xu had time to go out to buy pastries after breakfast, Mo Bei, who was monitoring Aunt Hu's breakfast, said with a strange expression: "Aunt Hu ate siu mai in the morning, she can eat glutinous rice."
Ye Xu was a little disappointed: "Really? Are you sure the siu mai is filled with glutinous rice and not ordinary rice?"
"Have you ever seen siu mai with ordinary rice?" Mo Bei asked back, "I only know that the northern siu mai is stuffed without rice. But in my favorite southern siu mai, there is no enlarged rice instead of glutinous rice."
If the rice is replaced, the degree of tragedy is no different from making rice dumplings with rice. Both siu mai and zongzi have to eat the soft and glutinous texture.
"Well, it looks like it's not glutinous rice. But she really doesn't have dim sum in her room. Could it be that she can't eat other things in the dim sum?" Ye Xu frowned.
Mo Bei said abruptly: "Maybe it's just because I don't like to eat? There's no meat in the dim sum."
The breakfast that Aunt Hu ate this morning was all meaty. Even siu mai has diced meat in it.
Ye Xu felt that there was nothing wrong with his way of thinking.
