Chapter 92 Race Crabs (2)
This dish of crabs is really good and delicious! Liu Yuan frowned when he heard the words, looked at the dishes on the counter, and asked Wen Mingtang and his party: "Tonight, the public chef didn't serve meat such as fish or meat?"
Even if there is a greedy cook, can he still stuff all the meat in his stomach alone? What's more, Master Wen doesn't have a big appetite, how can he eat so much meat?
A Bing said: "The road to Zhuangzi was flooded today, so no food was delivered. Master Sun used all the pork meat left over from yesterday. There was no meat in the evening, so Master Wen made crabs!"
One sentence provoked the people in Dali Temple who were eating crabs and couldn't help but angrily said: "I just made that kind of braised pork with braised pork, but I have the nerve to use up all the pork meat? When will this Sun Dingren leave?"
If it weren't for the people in Dali Temple to be reasonable in everything, they would have blown away the one surnamed Sun and the one surnamed Wang long ago.
"If you want me to say, then Sun Dingren might as well have broken his arm like Wang Junshan!" The people in Dali Temple said, "Then Wang Junshan broke his arm and recuperated these days, it's not a lot of trouble."
Everyone complained and didn't notice that A Bingtong Tangyuan behind the counter subconsciously glanced at Wen Mingtang when he heard "Wang Junshan didn't make a fuss".
Wen Mingtang shook his head at the two of them, and stood behind the counter with a smile to help make vegetables.
When the evening meal was about to end, Lin Fei took Li Yuan into the public kitchen of Dali Temple.
Li Yuan's eyes were red, and he obviously cried.
Walking to the front of the stage, after receiving the food and sitting down facing Lin Fei, Li Yuan looked at Lin Fei with red eyes, and asked, "Brother Zhao...Brother Zhao, did he really let the dead men in the mansion hunt him down?" You guys?"
Lin Fei let out a "hmm" and paused as he slammed his chopsticks into the crab's mouth. He seemed to realize that it was not a real crab anymore, and then continued to eat it.
Then, in a rare violation of the etiquette, Lin Fei spoke: "There are smashed ground and carriages in the three streets and nine alleys, and more than half of the warehouses of the guards outside the city have been burned. The little county king can go and have a look."
Li Yuan was even more ashamed when he said a word. He bowed his head to Lin Fei in silence, and then said: "Yes... I'm sorry, I never thought that I would harm you by questioning Brother Zhao!"
Lin Fei said lightly: "No problem."
Actually, it wasn't Li Yuan who harmed them. He had expected Li Yuan to do this, so he deliberately lured Huaishan County Wang's family into the bait.
Wen Mingtang looked at Lin Fei who was continuing to eat, and shook his head: This blah, seemingly arrogant and domineering Prince of Pingxi Xiaojun is far worse than this one!
Because of guilt, he hurt someone, and the food he ate didn't taste good. After Li Yuan went back, he remembered that he forgot to ask Wen Mingtang where the crabs came from at this time? The chef of Dali Temple actually got the crabs, but they didn't have any in the Prince's Mansion of Pingxi County!
After Li Yuan left, Lin Fei did not leave immediately as usual, but walked up to Wen Mingtang, looked at her, and said, "Master Wen!"
Wen Mingtang, who was busy collecting the table, said "Oh" without raising his head, and replied, "Does Lin Shaoqing want to ask about the crab race? That's not a real crab, it's made of eggs."
During an evening meal, all the people who come to the table are here to ask Sai Crab. After all, which one of the people staying in Dali Temple has no curiosity?
Wen Mingtang felt that this Lin Shaoqing was not uncommon, so he took the initiative to confess.
Didn't think about it, but Lin Fei in front of the stage said "I know".
Seeing her looking towards him, Lin Fei immediately reached out to touch his waist.
This action startled A Bing and Tangyuan who were cleaning up the countertop together: What is Lin Shaoqing doing? He looks like a decent person on weekdays, so why did he untie his belt out of nowhere?
Under the gaze of everyone, Lin Fei untied the soft sword from his waist.
Wen Mingtang, A Bing, Tangyuan: "..."
Scared them to death! It turned out to be to untie the soft sword!
When he came back to his senses and looked at the soft sword in Lin Fei's hand, Wen Mingtang felt that the soft sword looked familiar, just as he was thinking, Lin Fei glanced at her and said, "Follow me! "
Wen Mingtang exchanged glances with A Bing and Tang Yuan, put down the rag in his hand, cleaned his hands, and followed Lin Fei to the outside of the public kitchen.
Just walked over and called "Lin Shaoqing", and Lin Fei handed over the soft sword in his hand.
Wen Mingtang looked back and saw that she was indeed the only one here, so he took it, and then looked down at the soft sword in his hand: It looks familiar, isn't this the soft sword he drew out to fight the enemy, and which one is it? If there is any difference, it seems that the gemstones on it have been picked off.
Seeing Wen Mingtang's gaze fall on the place where gems were originally set on the hilt of the sword, Lin Fei said: "Every man is innocent, but he is guilty of carrying a jade!"
It's not that he was reluctant to part with the gem, but that the gem was given to Duke Yasukuni by the Holy Lord, not his. If Wen Mingtang takes out the imperial gift and is recognized by others, it will definitely cause controversy. Even if it attracts thieves to steal, it will be even more difficult to explain.
Wen Mingtang naturally understood this truth, shook the soft sword in his hand, thanked him, and then heard Lin Fei say: "You are Wen Xuance's daughter, the pursuit like that day may not be just one time. The soft sword is suitable for you, and it is best to use it to protect yourself."
Wen Mingtang immediately nodded his thanks when he heard the words. This soft sword is very convenient for her to use, is it a return gift for helping a lot?
After thanking her and was about to leave, Lin Fei suddenly looked at her again, said in silence, "This sword is not only for self-defense, its body and blade are specially made, and it can't hurt people's wounds." Ordinary blades are hard to imitate."
Wen Mingtang looked at him.
Lin Fei was too lazy to go around in circles, so he paused, and said straight: "I watched you attack the murderer the other day... This sword is used for self-defense, but if you kill someone actively, I can also deduce it from the blade."
Wen Mingtang: "..."
The implication is that although she seems to be hunted down, Lin Fei is very worried that Wen Mingtang's anti-killing actions are too skillful, so she is also a "potential murderer" to focus on.
This kind of treatment being watched by the Shaoqing of Dali Temple in person is really unique.
Wen Mingtang buckled the soft sword back to his waist, nodded, and thanked him, and when he was about to turn around and leave, Lin Fei called her again, and told her again: "Wen Xuance died, but since you managed to save your life, Now that he has successfully left the palace, don't go on his old journey again, it is a blessing to be able to live innocently!"
Wen Mingtang nodded at him, turned and left.
After Wen Mingtang left, Lin Fei raised his eyes to Zhao Mengzhuo who stopped halfway down the corridor: "Master Zhao."
Zhao Mengzhuo nodded at him, looked at Wen Mingtang's leaving back, paused, and couldn't help but sigh, his eyes were full of emotion: "Unexpectedly, after going around, Wen Xuance's daughter would come to our Dali Temple !"
Dali Temple took over the case in person.
