Chapter 64: Hand-rubbed Ice Powder (2)
Wen Mingtang took a small bowl, scooped the light yellow ice powder into the bowl with a spoon, and then put in hawthorn slices, crushed peanuts, raisins and boiled glutinous rice balls, and finally poured a spoonful of brown sugar juice and handed it over.
The two of them hurriedly took it, walked to the table and sat down. The full yard material made the spoons of the two pause at the same time, and when they saw Wen Mingtang directly put the ice powder in his mouth with the yard material, the two of them did the same as Wen Mingtang to scoop the ice powder.
The moment they entered it, the glutinous rice balls exclaimed, "It's delicious!" ”
The pale yellow ice powder is cold but extremely smooth after the entrance, no need to use the tongue to bite or bite with the teeth, a slight sip will be cracked, if you don't sip, let the ice powder poured with brown sugar juice water from the mouth into the abdomen, an indescribable cool and comfortable feeling with sweetness welled up.
"No wonder Master Wen said that this hand-rubbing ice powder can relieve the heat!" Ah Bing took a bite of ice powder and went to scoop the ingredients on it.
The hawthorn is cut into finely chopped slices, sweet and sour, the peanut is crushed and ground out of a coarse grain, mixed with brown sugar juice inexplicably reminds them of the taste of the pumpkin pie that day when the brown sugar peanuts are trapped, the raisins are sweet and sour, the fruity aroma is rich, and what he likes the most is the boiled glutinous rice balls, which are soft and glutinous and sweet, and the taste is rich when mixed with ice powder.
The whole bowl of ice powder was sweet but not greasy, and Ah Bingtong couldn't help nodding his head and applauding, and said continuously: "Master Wen, can you not only drink sour plums, but also make this hand-rubbing ice powder every day?" ”
Wen Mingtang smiled, handed over the full amount of ice powder in his hand, and said, "Go and ask Ji Cai to buy it!" ”
A sentence reminded Ah Bing, and he quickly got up and ran out with ice powder.
Gourmets buy a bowl of ice powder to eat, how can there be any reason to disagree? wrote down the materials Wen Mingtang needed, and wrote down the purchase list on the spot.
When Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu came back from a trip to the post station and ate ice powder, Lin Fei was eating the lotus seed soup stewed by Jingyun Hou's wife Zheng in Jingyun Hou's mansion.
After drinking one bowl, when the Zheng family was about to serve the second bowl, Lin Fei stopped her and said, "What did my mother call me back to the house?" ”
Zheng Shi said at this time: "The old lady of Huaishan County Wangfu is gone. In the evening your grandfather will come over, and you will go with him. ”
They are all powerful people in the capital, and they don't see anyone who looks up and looks down, and the Duke of Yasukuni has a good relationship with the king of Huaishan County, who died early, so he naturally wants to go over and see it now.
Lin Fei let out a slightly surprised "huh" when he heard this, looked at the Zheng family, and asked, "Didn't the old lady have a big birthday yesterday?" When he said this, he paused, and then said, "You also invited a drama troupe?" ”
"yes!" When Zheng said this, he sighed softly and said quietly, "I was fine during the day yesterday, but I heard that I suddenly had a heart attack at night. You also know that heart disease comes suddenly, even if the doctor runs fast, he may not be able to save it, and the old lady will not be saved. ”
Zheng couldn't help but sigh at the impermanence of the world as he spoke, but he didn't notice that Lin Fei on the side heard this and showed a thoughtful look.
In the evening, the Duke of Yasukuni took a few children of the Lin family to the palace of Huaishan County.
Yesterday, when the old lady had her birthday, Lin Fei didn't come, so she didn't feel much of it.
But Lin Nan, the prince of Jingyun Marquis who came yesterday, couldn't help but sigh: "Yesterday there were still red lanterns hanging and festive, but today it is full of white flags, and there is really a sense that things are wrong!" ”
Lin Fei glanced at his sentimental brother, and was about to speak, when he heard a voice not far in front of him.
"Shizi, Ah Fei!"
Lin Fei raised his head and looked at the person who called him "Ah Fei", the person who came was dressed in plain clothes, and Li Yuanzheng beside him looked at him with a sneer, gritted his teeth and said, "Lin Fei, you treacherous villain!" ”
Lin Fei ignored Li Yuan, but looked at the person in plain clothes-Li Zhao, the king of the small county of Huaishan County.
Li Zhao strode over, said hello to Lin Fei, and walked to the side with Lin Nan and chatted.
Li Zhao and Lin Nan are about the same age, and the relationship between Su Rili is not bad, and they have a good time.
Lin Fei, who was left behind, had no friendship with Li Yuan, who was a few years younger. Not only that, Li Yuan also glared at Lin Fei angrily and scolded: "Treacherous villain! ”
Lin Fei glanced at him and said lightly, "What's wrong?" ”
Li Yuan thought for a while and said, "That cook lady ......"
Without waiting for Li Yuan to finish speaking, Lin Fei shook his head and interrupted him: "Impossible!" ”
"Then you're not treacherous?" Li Yuan said angrily, "I asked my chef to make that oily noodles, but he never heard of them, and there are any soy milk fritters...... Did you deliberately not give me that cook? ”
Lin Fei glanced at him and said, "She is the cook of my Dali Temple chef, not the chef of the Pingxi County Palace." If you want to eat, just let the chef in your house do it! ”
The problem is that it can't be done! Li Yuan looked at Lin Fei hatefully: "You obviously deliberately helped the cook......
Before he finished speaking, he received a cold look from Lin Fei, Li Yuan was subconsciously stunned, and when he came back to his senses and was about to get angry, he heard Lin Fei suddenly ask him: "Did you stay overnight in the palace of Huaishan County last night?" ”
Li Yuan didn't know why, but he still nodded subconsciously and said, "Master, I will stay overnight if I want to." I have a good relationship with Brother Zhao, and we often played together when we were young, so what's wrong with staying overnight? Master, I not only stay overnight, but I also sleep in the same bed with Brother Zhao! ”
Lin Fei let out a "hmm", looked at the dark green under his eyes, and asked, "How was your sleep yesterday?" ”
"I'll choose ...... bed" Li Yuan muttered subconsciously, facing Lin Fei, but he still stubbornly replied, "What's the matter with you?"
Lin Fei ignored his reply, and just continued to ask: "How did Li Zhao sleep last night?" ”
Li Yuan puffed out his mouth, and was about to taunt back, but he heard Lin Fei suddenly say: "That morning food was made by Master Wen herself, and when I turn around, I can ask her if she can write a menu of recipes." ”
Li Yuan was stunned when he heard this, and immediately understood the meaning of Lin Fei's words. The anger on his face eased slightly, paused, coughed lightly, and said, "Brother Zhao didn't sleep very well, he tossed and turned, and he got up twice at night like me." ”
Lin Fei let out a "hmm".
Li Yuan was interested in him suddenly asking this, and glanced at Li Zhao, who was talking to Lin Nan happily, he thought about it, approached Lin Fei, and asked in a low voice, "Is Brother Zhao implicated in some case?" ”
Lin Fei glanced at him.
Li Yuan said proudly: "I'm interested in you, isn't that one implicated in the case?" Didn't I do the same last time? Is Brother Zhao the same? Speaking of this, Li Yuan paused and said suddenly, "Do you doubt Old Madam Zhou's death...... Impossible! We all went together when we got up at night yesterday, and I didn't sleep well all night, so I knew that Brother Zhao was innocent. The old lady died of heart disease at night, and it has nothing to do with Brother Zhao! ”
