Bai Zhu's hand stretched out to the multi-treasure shelf, picked one up from the pile of blue, purple, and blue mud inkstones, and looked at Zhang Wulin in the room.

Liu Yuan glanced at the Chengni inkstone raised in Bai Zhu's hand, and subconsciously picked up the one on the case that Zhang Wulin left on the cruise ship that day and compared it.

The pattern of the full moon and clouds is almost identical, the only difference is that in Bai Zhu's hand is a cyan mud inkstone.

Zhang Wulin glanced at the crab shell cyan mud inkstone in Bai Zhu's hand, lowered his eyelids slightly, and said: "The craftsman went wrong when firing, and confused the drawings we were waiting for, so I made the one at hand for personal use and showed it to others." After a pause, without waiting for the two to speak, Zhang Wulin said again, "My lord knows, Chengni inkstone is worth a lot of money, and the guests who come to me to buy inkstone are very particular, and they will not want to be rewarded and tried by others." The new inkstone is inconvenient for people to try at will, so I can only take my own use. ”

Liu Yuan glanced at the Chengni inkstone in his hand, which obviously had traces of use, and glanced at Bai Zhu: when he saw this Chengni inkstone first and found that it was an old inkstone, the two of them were ready to attack Zhang Wulin. Zhang Wulin's explanation seems to be reasonable.

Glancing at Zhang Wulin, who was drooping his eyes, Liu Yuan's gaze fell behind Zhang Wulin: it was the desk used by Zhang Wulin, the owner of the Four Treasures Shop in the study, and there were all kinds of teacups, food boxes and other things for drinking tea on it.

Glancing at the jade handle on the case, and pausing on the pen, ink, paper, inkstone and handwriting used by Zhang Wulin, Liu Yuan opened his mouth and asked, "How are your calligraphy and paintings?" As he spoke, he glanced at Zhang Wulin's dark brocade robe.

Although Zhang Wulin, the owner of the Four Treasures Shop of the Study, does not look rude, he really does not match Sven, looking at the few jade wrenches on his fingers, he is no different from ordinary businessmen.

The handwriting on the accounting paper is also written plainly, although the four treasures of the study in the shop are all famous products, but the pen, ink, paper and inkstone placed on their own desk are all ordinary things.

These are enough to prove that although Zhang Wulin is in this business, he is not a person who is obsessed with this way, but just an outsider who makes money.

Words like that...... It doesn't make sense.

Liu Yuansi looked around, looked back at Bai Zhu, and Bai Zhu in the room also found the problem, and after Zhang Wulin finished answering "calligraphy and painting are mediocre, lacking some talents", he pointed to the pen and ink utensils that can be seen everywhere on Zhang Wulin's case, and said: "You yourself are not too particular." ”

Zhang Wulin paused for a moment when he heard this, thought about it, shook his head and said: "If the talent is mediocre, it won't spoil the treasures." ”

He pays attention to these people from Dali Temple who are not particular about his daily life, and he knows it after a little check, and it is useless to conceal it, but these two people ask what they are doing?

After hearing this answer, Bai Zhu exchanged glances with Liu Yuan, paused, and continued to ask Zhang Wulin: "Do you know Hu Siming and Liu Sanqing?" ”

Zhang Wulin hesitated slightly, and said: "Hu Siming doesn't recognize Liu Sanqing's words, he knows that he is in the gambling stone business, but he is not familiar with it. ”

Liu Sanqing is a businessman, and those who can get on the board of commerce cruises are all famous in the chamber of commerce. Liu Sanqing's profession is special, it is not rare in Chang'an City, and many businessmen in the Chamber of Commerce know Liu Sanqing.

As for Hu Siming...... Zhang Wulin and other businessmen who also have one or two servants at home, don't have to do this kind of thing by himself, so it's not surprising that he doesn't know him.

This Zhang Wulin's answer to the question was as frank as Liu Sanqing's, but it could ...... After the two of them left the Four Treasures Shop in the study, Liu Yuan immediately opened his mouth to call Bai Zhu and said, "Zhang Wulin is lying!" ”

Bai Zhu nodded, he also found the problem, and said: "Chengni inkstone is the most precious with cinnabar red and eel yellow, but the pattern is burned without care, Zhang Wulin claims to be 'not spoiled treasures', even so, it is self-keeping, and the one that should keep the crab shell green is, rather than directly leaving the more precious cinnabar red Chengni inkstone." ”

So, Zhang Wulin lied.

Why lie about such things? Is there anything special about this cinnabar red full moon mud inkstone? The two were a little puzzled, all the evidence in this case was trivial and messy, and it seemed that they were all trivial things that were not related to each other, and they couldn't be connected at all.

After eating the twilight food, Bai Zhu and Liu Yuan still did not leave, and deliberately went to the prison again and asked Hu Siming.

Hu Siming still looked like he didn't know anything, and when the two of them saw this, they held their foreheads and had a headache.

After coming out of the prison, the two walked and chatted, and when they passed by the kitchen yard, a strong and strange fragrance wafted out of the kitchen yard.

The two of them paused, Liu Yuan was the first to react, he subconsciously looked up at the moon that had climbed up the treetops above his head, and immediately turned his head and said to Bai Zhu: "The chef actually opened a small stove?" There was some irrepressible surprise in his tone.

Bai Zhu sniffed, smelled the lingering fragrance in his nose, and nodded: "It's indeed a small stove." ”

Liu Yuan "tsk" twice, reacted, and squeezed his eyes at Bai Zhu with a smile: "I didn't expect that the two children of Tang Yuan and Ah Bing had learned to open a small stove, and they didn't know what they were doing so fragrantly......" Before he finished speaking, he suddenly fell silent and realized that something was wrong.

Master Tangyuan and Master A Bing are indeed two diligent and studious people, and Master Wen is occasionally absent, and the dishes are also good.

But the two of them are still just "apprentices", far from the time when they are out of school, they can only cook the dishes taught by Master Wen, and they are far from being able to develop new dishes by themselves.

This rich and unique aroma has never been smelled before, and it is clearly a new dish.

"Master Wen is back?"

"Master Wen is back?"

The two voices rang out almost in unison.

Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu looked at each other, and when they reacted, they immediately raised their feet and walked towards the kitchen courtyard.

At this time, the glutinous rice balls and Ah Bing in the kitchen were also brushing together, making an exclamation of "wow".

Not long ago, Master Wen took the leftover eggplant from the twilight meal and said that he would make a dish with meat and vegetables to cope with the twilight food.

These two ingredients are very common, although Master Wen has good craftsmanship, and often uses the most common and visible ingredients to make the best dishes, but no matter how good they are, these two dishes can also be better than meat dishes, making up for the regret that the two of them did not eat the chopped pepper fish head tofu pot in the evening today?

The moment the thick lid of the casserole is lifted, the rich, salty aroma locked in the casserole immediately spreads in all directions.

The eggplant strips cut into sections are neatly lying in the casserole, each one is full of rich soup, the eggplant strips are shiny, the eggplant meat is also dyed dark brown by the sauce, soaked in the red oil soup, the red oil soup around is very viscous, it is slowly bubbling with small bubbles, Wen Mingtang sprinkled a handful of green green onions, adding a touch of color to the whole fish-flavored eggplant pot, and then wrapped in a thick cloth to bring the casserole to the two of them, and said with a smile: "Come and try this fish-flavored eggplant pot, see if it is inferior to that kind of big meat dishes?" ”
