Chapter 252 Hoof Flower Soup (1)
"I don't need to wait for the surname Yang to seduce him. He went to wait in front of the Huangfu gate early in the morning." The guard who reported the report took a deep breath smelling the strong milk frankincense in the air, and said, "There should be some Unwilling to give up, I walked around the Huang Mansion for a few times, trying to find Miss Huang San!"
But how could the members of the Huang family who took Miss Huang away last night let someone surnamed Yang get close to Miss Huang? A little closer, the guards of Huang's mansion came out with short sticks and drove them away.
"As a last resort, the man surnamed Yang can only watch from a distance. When the time comes, Mr. Xun will come!" The guard said this, and subconsciously glanced at Lin Fei in front of him. Yesterday Lin Shaoqing said that he would go to see Huang Shizhong " After a few reminders, this "reminder" really had an immediate effect. This morning, Mr. Xun had just finished eating the court food in the public kitchen, and he was invited to Huang's mansion with great kindness.
"Mr. Xun didn't come out after he went in," said the guard, "Perhaps Huang Shizhong left him for dinner!"
Xunzhou, who entered the mansion, was treated warmly by Huang Shizhong, but the Yang family who was watching outside the mansion was very angry.
"I'll see that Yang who is surnamed Yang is staring viciously at Mr. Xun who entered the mansion," the guard gestured, "That look... tsk tsk, I really wish I could bite off a piece of Mr. Xun's flesh!"
Even when they stared at Mr. Yang, they couldn't help but sweat for Xun Zhou.
"Mr. Yang's family stared viciously at the door of the Huang Mansion until noon. Before Mr. Xun came out, he sneered and left!" said the guard, "I'll find a few others to follow him from a distance, Come back and report yourself first!"
Hearing this, Lin Fei nodded, and said to the guard: "Good job!" At the end, he paused, and repeated it again, saying, "Keep an eye on that Yang!"
The guard answered "Yes", and from the corner of his eye, he glanced at the bamboo tubes in Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu's hands. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he heard Lin Fei say, "I'll order milk tea in the public kitchen, and I'll go to the public kitchen." Get some milk tea in the kitchen, go down and rest!"
With a flick of a pen, it’s not just Yu Jijiu next door who buys milk tea for the entire yamen, but also their Lin Shaoqing.
The two guards happily responded "Thank you, sir", turned around and went out the door, then quickened their pace and walked in the direction of the public kitchen.
It seems that there are quite a few people thinking about the caramel milk tea yesterday!
Holding the bamboo tube in his hand, Liu Yuan said with emotion: "It's really pleasant to hold a cup of this thing in autumn and winter!"
The servant who got the milk tea from Shangfeng's special "care" thought the same way. The slippery and chewy pearl **** added today made this heart-warming and delicious afternoon snack a bit more A different kind of fun.
Chewing pearl **** and sipping milk tea was about to leave when a few handymen came in carrying baskets of ingredients covered with cloth.
The guard stopped in his tracks, just as he was curious to see what he was eating today, when the guard lifted the cloth covering the basket.
The guard who was about to leave was taken aback by the plump dolphins' hooves, and quickly turned to ask Wen Mingtang who was standing aside "focused and affectionate" watching the dolphins' hooves: "Master Wen, this is..."
Wen Mingtang glanced at the officer with a pale face, and said, "The ingredients for evening meals."
Although Chef Wen's pork meat dishes have never been disappointing, but the pork hoof... I don't remember hearing of any chef in Chang'an City who can cook it well.
Looking at the thick layer of hoof skin on the outside of the dolphin's hoof, one instinctively retreated: as if he had already tasted the meat buns sold by the street peddler. All the stuffed meat was replaced with the cheapest fatty meat, and after one bite, the greasy feeling of panic surged up immediately, which was frightening.
Of course Wen Mingtang is aware of the current situation in Chang’an City, oh no, it’s the whole Darong’s rejection of the pig’s hooves. There are also many people from poor families who really want to eat meat but are reluctant to pay for it, so they buy some cheap ones. The dolphin hoof relieves hunger.
It can be boiled in plain water, only salt is added, and the pork meat will naturally not be too delicious! The pig's hoof could not be sold because of the crowd's rejection. Most of the pig's hoofs at the meat stall had been stored for several days, so they were not fresh, and even had a taste, so it was naturally unpalatable.
But this time the pig’s hoof was sent by Zhuangzi, and it was very fresh. Wen Mingtang looked at the pig’s hoof, glanced at the pale-faced guard, and said with a smile: “I’ll know when Mu Shi comes to eat. gone?"
The guard took a look at the clean hooves, shivered, and walked away quickly with the milk tea in a bamboo tube in his hand.
Ji Caimai, who was behind the counter to settle the accounts, raised his head, looked at the back of the guard leaving, rolled his eyelids, and said, "Right now I run faster than anyone else, and I'm afraid I'll eat it worse than anyone else at night time!"
The fact that evening food wanted to eat the rare "pork hoof" soon spread throughout the Dali Temple with the departure of the servants, so that when the servants of the public kitchen plucked the hoof, they even provoked A lot of people came to watch!
Liu Yuan, who was busy with the case, also walked around to the public kitchen to take a look while he was leaving Gong to the latrine, and saw Wen Mingtang pouring A Bing's chopped pork feet into the water, as if he was about to blanch them again.
But meat and vegetables can't escape this step. Liu Yuan's gaze swung around the table, and soon he saw a large pot of beans soaked in water among a pile of green onions, **** and other accessories.
Look at the beans are about the size of ordinary peas, but the color is pure white like snow, very comfortable to look at.
"What is this?" Liu Yuan asked curiously, pointing at the bean.
Wen Mingtang kept moving his hands without even raising his eyelids: "White kidney beans!"
Bai Kidney Bean... Liu Yuan said "Oh", nodded, and said, "I don't know!"
People like Liu Sicheng, who can cook the package of sour plum drink even if it is boiled, will certainly not recognize such things as white kidney beans! Tang Yuan couldn't help snickering: "I don't know, I'll know when I eat the hoof flower soup at Mu Shi!"
Although she was teased by the little glutinous rice ball girl, she was not laughed in vain. At least she knew that the pork hoof was originally used to make soup! Liu Yuan let out an "oh", looked away reluctantly, turned around and left the public kitchen. He would also like to hold milk tea like Ji Caimai and watch Master Wen cook, but...he still has a case in hand!
Mr. Xun's task is almost completed, and now we only need to keep an eye on Mr. Yang's family! The guards do this kind of thing, but they, the temple officials and Lin Shaoqing, are not idle, but turn over the record book of looking for them to see auspicious days borrowed from the Qin Tianjian in the past few years.
Auspicious days naturally include weddings and other auspicious events, but they are not limited to this; many people will come to ask the Qin Tianjian to see the so-called auspicious days for everything in the world, going out for an outing, and even the funeral of the deceased.
Right now, they are flipping through the "funeral auspicious days" that the Qin Tianjian looks at, but not all "funeral auspicious days" are read, after all, 90% of the dignitaries in the entire Chang'an city will invite Qin Tianjian and other professional From the point of view of officials, looking for everything in the past is no different from finding a needle in a haystack.
"I asked Qin Tianjian to watch it a few times in a row, and picked out the ones who deliberately changed the time to midnight!" Lin Fei said.
