Chapter 205 Pearl **** (1)
Things become easier when there is a destination. If there is a problem with the whereabouts of the mandala flowers in any pharmacy, then people can be invited to Dali Temple for questioning.
Looking at the excited Liu Yuan, Lin Fei said: "I will leave this matter to you!"
Liu Yuan immediately complied when he heard the words. Seeing Lin Fei waving his hand, he didn't talk nonsense, turned around and went out to do some errands.
After Liu Yuan left, Lin Fei looked at Bai Zhu who was standing there, and said, "There is one more thing I need you to investigate..."
…
Wen Mingtang and the others didn't know that there was something wrong with the fragrance of the flowers at this time, and they almost suffered disaster. If it weren't for the fact that they didn't want to collide with the masks all over the street that day, several people took them off after wearing them for a while, and the little lady who was afraid of losing them would have added two more.
Wen Mingtang and others did not know, but Xun Zhou, who had never been to the lantern festival, did.
Looking at the pale Xun Zhou opposite, Lin Fei said: "With such people here, the little girls in Chang'an City may not dare to go out in peace!"
Xunzhou murmured: "If this is the case, what face do I really have to see my mentor? By the way, does sister Mingtang know about this?"
Lin Fei said: "She doesn't know yet." Although she didn't know, she could have guessed a thing or two from their questioning about her mask.
Upon hearing that Wen Mingtang didn't know yet, Xun Zhou heaved a sigh of relief, stretched out his hand and patted his chest, and sighed, "That's okay, don't tell her about this, so as not to frighten her!"
Lin Fei glanced at Xun Zhou: Scared her? Did this person misunderstand his sister Mingtang?
But looking at Xun Zhou's slightly pale face, Lin Fei thought about it, and then said "hmm", thinking that he should not be frightened.
"So these people must be caught as soon as possible!" Xun Zhou sighed for a moment, and said to Lin Fei seriously, "Lin Shaoqing, Xun will do his best to cooperate in this matter, and vow to catch that villain!"
Lin Fei looked at Xun Zhou who was gearing up and nodded: "I will arrange an identity for you in the near future, don't worry, I will send someone to follow you later!"
"What do I have to be afraid of as a man?" Xun Zhou heard this, and immediately said: "I'm sure I can play this identity well, and I will definitely not show any flaws before I catch the villain!"
Is it? Lin Fei glanced at Xunzhou, noncommittal.
Actually, Xun Zhou only needs to show his head in this matter, and they will do the rest, so there is no need to be so heroic!
…
Putting the prepared lunch into the lunch box, Wen Mingtang took out the money from his purse and handed it over.
Now that the takeaway stalls are open, even if they want to bring some food, they will have to spend money.
Looking at the lunch in Wen Mingtang's food box, Ji Caimai took the money, wrote it down, and asked Wen Mingtang, "Going out to meet friends?"
The disappearance of the little lady is still being investigated, and Master Wen always makes people feel a little uneasy when he goes out alone.
"I'm going to see Liang Hongjin!" Wen Mingtang said with a "huh" and said, "Today is her birthday!"
Upon hearing that it was Liang Hongjin, Ji Caimai nodded and said, "Then go! Take the main road, don't take the detours, go early and return early!"
Although the female general Liang is a woman, she can fight several men with her fists, so don't worry about her safety.
Wen Mingtang thanked Ji Caimai for his concern, greeted Tang Yuan and A Bing and left Dali Temple.
From Dali Temple all the way to Tongming Gate is a road. After waiting for a while outside Tongming Gate, Liang Hongjin with a sweat towel around his neck came out with a black-faced Ganzhiwei.
After getting closer, Wen Mingtang finally heard what Liang Hongjin said.
"That's a lot of money, how many years have you saved it?"
The black-faced Ganzhiwei drooped his head, but said honestly, "It's been almost five years!"
"Five years of money was given to such a liar for nothing, and I still feel sorry for you if you don't care about it!" Liang Hongjin reached out and nodded his head, cursing, "How much delicious food is enough for that much money? How many treasured knives can I buy? gone?"
The black-faced Ganzhiwei said with a bitter face: "Then what should I do? That liar has already spent the money..."
I really can't even chase him back!
Liang Hongjin jumped angrily: "My little lady has a childhood sweetheart in her hometown, so don't think about it! What do you really call this? It's called losing money and losing your wife!"
Once reprimanded, the black-faced Ganzhiwei almost burst into tears.
It wasn't until he looked up and saw Wen Mingtang that Liang Hongjin waved his hand and told the black-faced Ganzhiwei to go back.
Wen Mingtang looked at the unlucky Ganzhiwei who was deceived and shook his head, stepped forward, and handed the food box in his hand to Liang Hongjin: "I know that you will celebrate your birthday with Zhao Sishan in the palace at night, so I will let you eat during the day." give it to me!"
It's day and night. It sounds like she is quite popular with Liang Hongjin, so she's very popular! Liang Hongjin blushed, and coughed dryly: "It's okay!" As he spoke, he couldn't help reaching out to lift the lid of the food box, and took a peek, "What delicious food did you bring for me today?"
Wen Mingtang said: "Pearl balls!"
…
…
Master Wen went out to do errands again, leaving only A Bing and Tangyuan for a day.
But although the master is out, the dishes for this lunch will not lose the chain.
Yuxue's cute meatballs were placed in the steamer like this, and they were brought down from the steamer together with the steamer and delivered to everyone's hands.
After only one glance, Yu Jijiu couldn't help sighing, "No wonder it's called Pearl Balls!"
The glutinous rice that tightly wraps the pork meatballs has absorbed the salty aroma and gravy of the pork meat. After steaming, the originally crystal clear glutinous rice seems to be glowing with a layer of light, isn't it like the grains of rice pearls?
The pearl balls, which were already covered in jade snow, were already pretty enough. Master Pian Wen even added two red goji berries on them, and sprinkled some green onions around them.
The three colors of white, red, and blue are shining, which actually draws out the artistic conception of spring and snow in this pork meat.
"It will definitely be eye-catching at the banquet!" Yu Jijiu commented, and after sitting down, he couldn't wait to pick up a pearl ball with his chopsticks.
The glutinous rice that has absorbed the gravy on the outside has an indescribable umami taste. The pork meat in the inner layer is thick and suitable.
Pork meat is firm but not sticky, just right, but more than that. After one bite, the tender and springy pork meat is mixed with some extremely crispy horseshoes, which immediately reduces the greasiness of pork meat. In this way, from the outside to the inside, the taste is progressive, and before one knows it, one has already been eaten, and Yu Jijiu immediately stretches out his chopsticks to pinch the second one.
…
Liang Hongjin, who sat down with Wen Mingtang, was also eating the pearl **** in the food box. It goes without saying that the horseshoe pork meat is delicious, but compared to this, Liang Hongjin absolutely loves the outer layer The glutinous rice has absorbed the gravy, and I only feel that the outermost layer of glutinous rice is the soul inside.
Wen Mingtang smiled and watched Liang Hongjin stuff the pearl **** into his mouth one by one. When the plate of pearl **** was finished, Liang Hongjin touched his stomach and said, "It feels really good after padding the stomach a little bit." That's great! Xiao Mingtang, where are we going?"
Wen Mingtang stood up with a smile, and said, "Go get your birthday present."
