Chapter Eighty-Eight: A Gentleman
Tianxiang smiled, "I really can't take you there this time, there are more people, it will cause more suspicion." Don't say it this time, if I hadn't entered the Imperial Hospital alone, who would have tipped me off? ”
Tianxiang still plans to take risks investigating alone, one is for Liu Ling'er's safety, she is really going to give it up, and she is alone, so she can't be affected. The second is to consider that it is more convenient for one person to investigate, and if two people go in, it will arouse the ideas of others.
Liu Liu Ling'er said, "I don't need to report this time, my junior brother is here, or I will accompany you in, I really don't worry about you going in alone." ”
After Liu Ling'er finished speaking, she first stared at Ma Wenbing with her big eyes for a while, and then turned to look at Tianxiang, waiting for her to answer, her cute appearance made it impossible to refuse.
Tianxiang didn't speak, and turned to look at Ma Wenbing, who also had the same big watery eyes, extremely moving and cute.
Tianxiang was undecided, and wanted to ask Ma Wenbing's idea, so she asked softly, "What do you think of Liu Ling'er's going?"
Ma Wenbing thought about it, and felt that it was okay for Liu Ling'er to go, nothing was perfect, although the two of them went in to arouse other people's ideas, if there were really bad people who knew that they wanted to do it, they would have to think about it.
Ma Wenbing said with a smile: "Why don't I accompany Tianxiang, senior sister, you still stay outside and wait?" Anyway, you have experience, and it is easy to ask the master to talk when the time comes." ”
Liu Ling'er retorted, "What kind of experience? What nonsense are you talking about? Or I'll accompany Tianxiang in, and you can stay outside honestly." ”
Ma Wenbing's last words were actually a joke, he didn't plan to change with his senior sister Liu Ling'er at all, and he knew that Liu Ling'er wouldn't change with him, just to adjust the atmosphere.
Tianxiang saw them coming and going, and her feelings were quite complicated, on the one hand, she was grateful for their concern for her, and at the same time, she was slightly worried, but she smiled and said, "Okay, let's just say this, Ma Wenbing, it's not too early now, you can go back to sleep quickly." ”
Ma Wenbing nodded, so he left the room and returned to his own room, Ma Wenbing did not dare to light the lamp, because the light would wake up the master, at this moment the master was sleeping on the bed, snoring like thunder.
After Ma Wenbing left the room, Tianxiang and Liu Ling'er made a basin of hot water, the two of them washed their feet in a basin, and the four feet were stacked together, and the two of them laughed and fought with their feet.
Tianxiang and Liu Ling'er fought with each other with their feet and laughed for a while, and a basin of water was splashed out, so they had to go outside and pour it out, and then the two of them slept on the same bed.
Tianxiang slept outside, Liu Ling'er slept inside, and neither of them had the heart to sleep, looking at the dark roof and chatting indiscriminately.
Liu Ling'er first asked, "Tianxiang, when are you going to go tomorrow?" I don't think it's good to go early, it's not good to go late, there must be a good time. ”
Tianxiang smiled, "If you have any good ideas, just say it, don't hide it." ”
Tianxiang heard the meaning of Liu Ling'er's words, so she took the initiative to ask.
Liu Ling'er smiled, and then said, "I think it's best to go at noon, noon is the time when many people rest, and it must be the safest time to go at that time." ”
Tianxiang smiled, "Okay, then we'll go over at noon." By the way, and your father, we have to wait for him to go out tomorrow before we can act, and I don't know if your father will go to the imperial dining room tomorrow to practice. ”
Liu Ling'er said, "This is really a problem, it's really hard to say, if there is no incident in the morning, Daddy will definitely go back to the imperial dining room tomorrow, but there is an incident in the morning, it is difficult to say." ”
"Hey. Tianxiang sighed deeply, and then said, "If your father doesn't go out tomorrow, I will go out alone, and you and Ma Wenbing don't have to go." ”
Tianxiang made up her mind that she must clear her mother's grievances, and she must eradicate the sweet potato, so she must go tomorrow, and there are only three days left, and there are only three clues left that can be found.
Liu Ling'er said, "Don't worry, I'll find a way to get him out of the room tomorrow, let's go to bed early, it's been a big night, and it's dawn before I sleep." ”
Liu Ling'er chatted with Tianxiang half-salty and half-light again, and then slept together.
Let's say that after Ma Wenbing lay down on the bed, he also had no intention of sleeping, and took out a book from his arms, which was "Foodie" given by Mr. Bai Eat when he left, and with the help of the starlight from outside the window, he began to look again, relishing, and no longer sleepy.
This book is a record of the good things that Mr. Bai Eat has eaten in the country for decades, and there are a small number of descriptions of the dragon, the earth tiger, the desert finch and the turtle, because the more attractive this word is.
Ma Wenbing saw the dawn when he saw it, and the book was really finished, and while Liukou hadn't woken up yet, he turned into the quilt and slept as long as he could.
Ma Wenbing didn't sleep for long, and was woken up by Liu Yikou when he lifted the quilt in less than an hour.
Liu Yikou was very puzzled, why this time Ma Wenbing was sleeping with his head covered by the quilt, the weather was not so cold at all at this time, he kept calling five times just now, but he didn't wake up Ma Wenbing.
Liu asked in a rough voice, "What are you doing? Sleeping like a lazy pig, the inertia of your four senior brothers has learned, and tells you that the competition is coming soon, don't be lazy." ”
Ma Wenbing got up helplessly, no matter how sleepy he was, he slept very hard just now, and he didn't hear the master call him at all.
Ma Wenbing looked up at the window, the golden sunlight came in, illuminating the whole house, the blue sky and white clouds, and the chirping of birds, it was a good weather.
Ma Wenbing didn't know what time it was, but it was not too early to guess this sunny appearance, so he asked, "Master, what time is it?" Have you had breakfast?"
Liu mouthful's eyes widened and said, "What to eat?" Hurry up, let's go to the kitchen to make breakfast, the breakfast they sent is not to taste at all, and the teeth are very stuffy, today we will make breakfast by ourselves, you hurry up and say to Ling'er and Tianxiang, let the two of them wait." ”
Ma Wenbing washed up a little, then left the house, came to the door of Tianxiang and Liu Ling'er's room, and knocked lightly.
Tianxiang and Liu Ling'er chatted late last night, and the two of them were asleep and not awake, but they were both woken up by Ma Wenbing's knock on the door.
Tianxiang stuck out her head and asked, "Is it Ma Wenbing?" We still want to sleep for a while, so we won't eat breakfast." ”
Tianxiang and Liu Ling'er planned to go to the Internal Affairs Office at noon, so they have a lot of time to sleep now, and with the lack of sleep last night, it doesn't matter if they eat breakfast or not.
Ma Wenbing whispered through the wooden door, "Master said that we will make breakfast by ourselves this morning, you can sleep for a while, and I will send it to you when the meeting is ready." ”
Tianxiang said again, "I know, you can go quickly, don't disturb us to sleep." ”
Ma Wenbing turned his head and saw that the master was waiting for him, the two looked at each other without speaking, and then went to the imperial dining room together, and found that Zhao Fatzi specially said that he was making breakfast, and Zhao Fatzi didn't dare not agree.
Ma Wenbing and Liu Yiyi didn't mention making breakfast, and said that Ma Wenbing and Liu Yiyi made breakfast, and the two of them ate first, and then Ma Wenbing came to Tianxiang and Liu Ling'er's room early, and knocked on the door gently.
I was woken up by Ma Wenbing for a while, looking forward to a good sleep, and now I was woken up by Ma Wenbing again, Tianxiang and Liu Ling'er both hated itchy, and they couldn't wait to beat Ma Wenbing.
Liu Ling'er said helplessly, "You better let him in, just put it on the table early, I still want to sleep for a while." ”
Tianxiang said according to Liu Ling'er's meaning, "Come in, just put breakfast on the table, and then leave us alone." ”
Hearing Tianxiang's words, Ma Wenbing pushed the door in with the food, and gently put the food on the table, Ma Wenbing smiled in his heart, serving the two grandmothers the same, but he was quite happy.
Ma Wenbing saw that Tianxiang and Liu Ling'er were still sleeping, and said softly, "Are you still sleeping?" ”
Tianxiang and Liu Ling'er didn't want to talk, they were most afraid of waking up when they were sleepy, and if they didn't send Ma Wenbing, they wouldn't be able to sleep in peace.
Liu Ling'er said first, "Okay, you go out quickly, we'll eat later, don't stand here for too long, this is a girl's room." ”
Ma Wenbing smiled, I don't know how many times I've been in, each time it's a long time, but today he put the "girl's room" to press him, seeing that they were really sleepy, and he couldn't bear to disturb the two of them, so he said, "Okay, put it here, don't forget to eat." ”
Ma Wenbing walked out of the room and returned to his room, where Liu looked at him in the chair.
Liu said, "Ling'er hasn't gotten up yet? What's wrong with you? Why can't you get up this morning? Is there something to hide from me?"
Liu Yikou was very suspicious, after yesterday's incident, he had to be suspicious, these three little ghosts must have done something last night? Otherwise, they wouldn't have been so coincidental and couldn't get up.
Ma Wenbing shook his head and said, "Master, where do you want to go? How can we hide something from you? ”
Liu puffed out the big goldfish eyes, and it was still very scary when he was angry.
Liu said in one breath, "Impossible? Didn't Tianxiang hide the matter of the princess from me? What else do you want to take revenge, it's really whimsical, tell me quickly, did you deliberately get me drunk last night? What did you do?"
The more Liu thought about it, the more wrong it became, and he really couldn't understand why the three of them toasted last night?
Ma Wenbing smiled and said, "Master, you really think too much about it this time, we don't have any meaning, the main thing is to thank you for saving Tianxiang, that's all." ”
Liu asked again, "Just to show gratitude, that's all?"
Ma Wenbing replied firmly, "That's all. ”
Liu Yikou still didn't believe it, but he also knew that it was impossible to get words out of that kid's mouth, and he felt more and more that Ma Wenbing was a little shrewd.
Liu pondered, "No matter about this matter, I don't bother to care about this matter, in short, you have to remember that the important thing to chase this time is the game, do you understand the game?" ”
Ma Wenbing said, "Master, we all know this, don't worry about the competition, I am confident now." ”
Hearing Ma Wenbing's confident words, his heart was a little wider, but he still smiled and said, "Confidence, let's go, let's go to the kitchen today to see if we can figure out any fresh dishes, I always feel that the topic of this competition is different from the past, and it may be a very difficult topic." ”
Ma Wenbing said, "Don't worry about any difficult topics, as long as we don't panic, don't worry, I've actually thought about a few dishes in the past few days, and maybe I can take them out to participate in the competition." ”
Hearing Ma Wenbing's words, Liu smiled, his heart was very happy, and said, "You kid Cheng, unconsciously groped for a new dish, so you have to go to the kitchen to have a look, you make it for me and let me see." ”
After Liu finished speaking, he pulled Ma Wenbing out of the courtyard and came to the west room of the imperial dining room.
There are no other people in the kitchen except for the people in the imperial dining room, and today it is strange that those contestants did not come to practice cooking, and this time knowing the specific time of the competition, they should come to the imperial dining room.
Ma Wenbing said, "It's just right that they don't come, we can choose so many stoves at will, wait, I'll cook you a dish now, and name it a gentleman." ”
Liu asked suspiciously, "What is the meaning of a gentleman's good name?"
Liu Yikou didn't know what a gentleman meant, because it was a poem about Bailai's world.
Ma Wenbing said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'll explain to you when I'm ready, the ingredients of this dish are fresh river shrimp, minced fish, winter melon, cucumber, small Bailai, shiitake mushrooms, carrots, salt, monosodium glutamate, eggs, green onion and ginger juice." Method 1: Add salt, monosodium glutamate, egg white, green onion and ginger juice to the minced fish to make fish gelatin, spread it on a plate, brush the egg yolk, and steam it into fish cakes. 2. Season the shrimp to make puree, and make shrimp balls in warm oil. 3. Change the fish cake into a knife, put it into the carved winter melon container, steam it thoroughly, and arrange it on a plate. Blanch the choy sum and the carved plate and arrange them separately. 4. Put the pot on the fire, pour oil into the heat, add ginger and green onion to stir until fragrant, add the broth and take out the ginger and green onion, put in the shrimp balls, season, thicken, pour oil, and serve on the cabbage. The shape is novel and beautiful, the fish and shrimp are smooth and tender, and the salty and umami taste is beautiful. ”
After the dish was ready, Ma Wenbing took the dish to Liu Yiyi with a smile and said with a smile, "Master, how about you taste it?"
Liu didn't take a bite of chopsticks, just used his hands, and tasted each kind of food, extremely delicious and delicious, just like standing on the bank of a clear river, lotus flowers are fragrant, the breeze is gentle, and the other side is far away.
Liu couldn't help but ask, "It's delicious, it's really delicious, Wen Bing, what does this gentleman mean?"
