Chapter 314: Steamed Pork Ribs with Tempeh (4)
A person who does not like to pile up discarded things in the house every day, when he leaves to go out, he must clean up the house.
This point, look at them Lin Shaoqing knows. Whenever I go back from the yamen, the waste paper in the house, and the charcoal basin that has been burned in the winter will be emptied and cleaned up, and everything will be placed neatly before leaving.
Seeing that the pen, ink, paper, and inkstones in the cow steward's house were arranged in an orderly manner without a little skew, and after hearing the news from the mouths of those miscellaneous servants, Wei Fu felt that there was something wrong with this charcoal basin at first sight, and wanted to bring it back.
Fortunately, the miscellaneous servants of the internal affairs yamen were greedy for money, and felt that the unpacked charcoal basin was not an important object, so they asked Wei Fu to take the charcoal basin away directly.
The contents of the charcoal basin were burned to ashes, but Wei Fu was quite careful to move the charcoal basin all the way, and did not break up the charcoal ashes in the charcoal basin, and maintained its original shape with all the detrine ashes.
Under some scattered ash debris on the surface is a complete square size of the ash, the size and shape of the ash is too familiar, and any Dali Temple official is not unfamiliar with it.
Liu Yuan only glanced at it, and immediately blurted out: "When it was a piece of paper, it was burned by it." ”
As soon as the words fell, a gust of wind blew, and the whole debris and ash of the square size were swept into the air by the wind, and the debris was blown one after another, and only a pile of messy ashes was left in the charcoal basin.
Looking at this fleeting scene, Liu Yuan sighed for no reason.
This debris and ashes cannot be used as evidence, of course. Without this gust of wind, this charcoal basin cannot be served in the court, but for the officials of Dali Temple, this complete crumb is not useless.
The last thing the cow steward did before leaving the internal affairs yamen must have been to look at the things on this piece of paper, and after looking at it, he immediately burned the things on this paper, and before he even had time to pour it out and throw it away, he hurried out of the door, and has not returned yet.
As for the cow steward's hometown, where to go back to his hometown, these Wei Fu have naturally inquired, and after recording all the inquiries and handing them over to Liu Yuan and others, Wei Fu said: "I heard that when the cattle steward did not move out of the yard, the cattle steward had a good relationship with him, after all, under one roof, because the cattle steward likes to clean up, he will often help the lazy Mao steward clean up the house." ”
Compared with the cattle steward who likes to do everything himself, the wool steward is obviously a greedy for pleasure, and someone does it for him, so he is naturally happy to see it happen.
"Steward Mao has a lot of money, and he often brings some food and things from places like Hongyan Lou from outside to give to the cattle steward, and he has the right to clean up the hard work of the house, and the two can be regarded as getting along." Wei Fu said, "But after Steward Mao moved away, because of the different things in charge, over time, the two had no intersection." ”
Although he also came to Chang'an from other towns to be in charge of the internal affairs yamen, but the encounter was very different: a matter of managing the bazaar, there was a lot of oil and water, and the filial piety of the city commanders was indispensable on weekdays. And the distribution of water purification managed by the cattle steward has no oil and water at all, and the errand officer and Li Zheng will not go out of their way to honor the cattle steward for this reason, which is a laborious errand without oil and water.
No wonder they are also stewards, one lives in a mansion and is served by others, but the other still lives in the house where the housekeeper of the internal affairs yamen stays.
"This cow steward is the same as the Mao steward," Wei Fu said about the cow steward's experience, "I don't know who was 'helping' to be the steward, but after being the steward, it was far inferior to the Mao steward, this time it made the people have stomach trouble, causing such a big movement, and I don't know what it was." ”
Speaking of the last sentence, Wei Fu was also very puzzled: the well has a large amount of water, and the laxative is not strong, saying that the cow steward wants to kill people...... But I didn't hear that someone had an accident, and the whole thing was thunderous and rainy, but he quietly "returned to his hometown".
Since the two things are related, presumably the cattle steward who "returned to his hometown" is not so easy to find, and the people of Dali Temple know this, but after returning to Dali Temple with the water purification things distributed by the yamen of Weifu's family to confirm that it is indeed the problem of this thing, it is still necessary for people to go to the "hometown" of the cattle steward to inquire about the situation.
At this point, the tummy matter has been clarified, and as for the motive, it will only be clear when the cow steward is found.
Wei Fu's discovery connected the two things, and although it was not clear what the connection was between the two foreign stewards, it also allowed Eucalyptus to make progress.
】
With this discovery, I don't know what arrangements Lin Shaoqing will make tomorrow.
Liu Yuan looked up at Shangfeng, and after he came back from Shangfeng, he cleaned up the files that were randomly spread on the eucalyptus, and when Lin Fei finished cleaning up, Liu Yuan was about to ask Lin Fei about tomorrow's arrangements, but his arm was touched by Bai Zhu.
Liu Yuan looked at Bai Zhu for some reason, but saw Bai Zhu shaking his head at him, and then without waiting for Bai Zhu to speak, he listened to Lin Fei, who had cleaned up the eucalyptus, and said: "Tomorrow I will have a banquet at my house for one day, and you are in charge of the eucalyptus matter!" ”
As he spoke, he handed the leave note that he had written long ago to Bai Zhu, asked him to deliver it to Zhao Mengzhuo and left.
Walking so simply, Liu Yuan, who was watching, couldn't help but gasp, pushed Bai Zhu's hand, and said, "It's the first time I've seen our Lin Shaoqing walk so simply when the eucalyptus has made progress, just ...... So let go of the eucalyptus? ”
Bai Zhu also had some doubts on his face, but he still shook his head and said: "That's it, since Lin Shaoqing let me wait for myself to make the decision, I should always check something out tomorrow, otherwise when Lin Shaoqing comes back and asks about it the day after tomorrow, I am afraid that the face of the two of us will be lost!" ”
The temple of Dali Temple is not a wine bag and rice bag.
Thinking like this, Liu Yuan, who was listening to the side, suddenly "sighed" and sighed: "I almost forgot, Lin Shaoqing's family will have a banquet tomorrow, and Master Wen is not in the kitchen, I'm afraid there will be no new dishes to try tomorrow!" The tone was rather regrettable.
Bai Zhu: "......" Dali Temple is not a wine bag and rice bag, but in his mind he is always thinking about eating.
Wen Mingtang, who was nagged by Liu Yuan, handed over the menu of the chef's three meals tomorrow to Tang Yuan and Ah Bing, and went to prepare for the family banquet in the Jingyun Marquis Mansion tomorrow.
Compared with the chef's big pot dishes, this kind of banquet dishes are more meticulous and exquisite, taking care of the taste of the host and guests, each dish is quite exquisite, in the afternoon, the people of Jingyun Hou Mansion also deliberately ran a trip, let Wen Mingtang bring some red yeast rice over, there is no more in Jingyun Hou's Mansion, and I don't know if the chef of Dali Temple can have.
Tomorrow's feast will feature a dish of braised pork meat, which needs to be colored with red yeast rice to make it more red and bright.
Braised pork is a very common dish, but each chef has different preferences in terms of its color and flavor.
It is also very common to like to use red yeast rice to color meat dishes, and there are not a few chefs who add red yeast rice to braised pork meat in the city, and it is the chef Xing who makes this dish, Wen Mingtang naturally will not interfere.
As for the work of red yeast rice, she has already prepared it and is ready to bring it over tomorrow.
