Zhao Mengzhuo's gaze was so obvious, Ji Caimai naturally couldn't pretend not to see it, so he grabbed some sweet and spicy dried fish in an oily paper bag and handed it to Zhao Mengzhuo.

The dried fish, which was much smaller than the little finger, had been seen by him a few months earlier when he was passing through the market, and he had seen it so cheap that he had bought a lot of it without being persuaded by the vendors.

But after buying it, I regretted it. What can you do with this little dried fish? I can't think of any other use than to go back and feed the cat he raised.

However, when Master Wen saw the dried fish, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but say something, so he sold the dried fish in his hand, and then ...... And then I didn't see the dried fish for months, until today.

If anything really happens, it won't be unpalatable in Master Wen's hands.

I watched Master Wen fry the soft dried fish in oil until crispy and dry, and then stir-fried with pepper, ginger, garlic, sugar, wine, sauce and other things with the dried fish.

I have to say that the dried fish that I thought was fed to the cats was so fried that it was immediately different. The smell of fresh fish is mixed with sweet and spicy sauce and sesame aroma, which is really attractive.

Although Master Wen said that it would be better to eat it when it was cooled, he really couldn't stand the tempting aroma, and several people still couldn't help but stretch out their chopsticks and taste the dried fish that no one wanted before.

Although it has the umami flavor of fish, the texture of dried fish is completely different from the tenderness of the fish. The dried and crispy dried fish is chewy, and the sweet and spicy sauce and the aroma of cooked white sesame seeds become more and more delicious as you chew between your mouths.

After tasting it, because there was still important business at hand, the dim sum was made by those who made dim sum, and the orders were recorded, and the dried fish was put aside for the time being.

Cheng Cheng thought, the dried fish is cold now, but the business at hand has not been done, and Zhao Mengzhuo was attracted before they had time to taste the dried fish.

After taking the dried fish handed over by Ji Caimai, Zhao Mengzhuo only had time to sniff it between his nose, and before he could take his mouth, an errand came in from outside to look for him.

Although he was in a hurry for the New Year's Festival, there were still a lot of trivial things in the yamen, so Zhao Mengzhuo had no choice but to put the bag of small dried fish that he didn't know how it tasted in his sleeve pocket and left with the officer.

Seeing this, Ji Caimai grabbed it again with oiled paper and stuffed it into his mouth, and only after swallowing it in his stomach did he say, "Fortunately, Lord Zhao didn't taste it, otherwise...... This sweet and spicy dried fish tastes very good, but the quantity is not much, which is just enough for me to taste it. ”

Seeing that Ji Cai bought and tasted the fresh, Ah Bingtong Tangyuan in that compartment was not far behind, and they all reached out to grab the dried fish that was cooled, compared to when it was hot, it was really cooled, and the crispy and dry taste was thicker and more delicious.

A few of you took a handful of me, and soon separated the dried fish, licked his lips, and Ji Cai said unsatisfied: "Next time, there are such dried fish for sale in the market, so I will buy them all and make this sweet and spicy dried fish with Master Wen!" ”

After eating the dried fish, picking up the fence, and was about to continue to fry the tangyuan dumplings with begonia crisp, he suddenly said "Huh" and asked, "Will Bai Sicheng and Liu Sicheng come back today after yesterday?" ”

Her father, Lao Yuan, is the driver of the two, and if these two don't come back, her father won't come back.

That group of people was after noon yesterday, not half of the time, if there is no major delay on the road, before the Xianyang city gate is closed, they will definitely be able to get to Xianyang. So...... It's just that I slept all night, and I'm busy all day, and I'll be back tomorrow at the latest. If you do things quickly, you only slept half a night yesterday, and then you can come back today.

Wen Mingtang said "um", looked at the rice balls in his hand that stopped moving, took the fence in the hand of the rice balls, put the finished begonia crisp into the fence, and carefully sank the fence into the oil pot.

Pastries such as begonia crisp and lotus crisp need to be fried at low temperature, which is a delicate job, which is obviously not suitable for the absent-minded glutinous rice balls at the moment.

There is nothing wrong with being a worried father of a daughter, let alone ...... Looking at the obvious worried rice balls on her face, this girl's eyelids have been beating since the morning today, and her heart is a little restless.

Wen Mingtang doesn't know if there is a source for this statement, but in the past, when Lao Yuan followed those officials to the scene of the murder, even if the other party was a vicious person, Tang Yuan had never been so distracted. So, he patted Tangyuan's shoulder and brought a bowl of hot milk and rice balls.

Tang Yuan sat down against Ah Bing, who was watching the fire behind the stove, a bowl of hot milk went down, I don't know if the stove was warm or the milk played a role, or Ah Bing next to her made her feel at ease, and Tang Yuan, who rarely took a nap in the past day, actually fell asleep by Ah Bing.

Today's afternoon snacks are not served again, and the ingredients are not put on the Zhuangzi, and it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

So, the whole kitchen didn't come in and disturb the whole afternoon.

Focus on nature and do things faster, in an afternoon's effort, Wen Mingtang will almost make the pastries that need to be fried in the oil pan.

She made pastries quite smoothly this time, but the dumplings that were sleeping on Ah Bing's knees seemed to be a little uncomfortable, and they kept tossing and turning.

When the time was approaching, Wen Mingtang looked at Ah Bing, who was sitting behind the stove hole.

Ah Bing nodded at her, knowing that it was time to make a twilight meal, so he gestured to her, and when he was about to reach out and pat the rice balls, he saw Ah Bing in the room suddenly sat up with an exclamation of "ah".

This reaction really startled the two of them, and when they came back to their senses, when they were about to go to see Tang Yuan, they saw Tang Yuan looking at the two with red eyes, and when they met the eyes of the two, they suddenly "soared" and got up, and said, "I...... I want to see my dad! ”

Such a sentence without a beginning or end really stunned the two.

Wen Mingtang reacted first, thinking about her restless behavior this afternoon, and hurriedly asked Tang Yuan: "But you have a nightmare?" ”

Tang Yuan nodded, and when Wen Mingtang asked what the nightmare was, he refused to say, only muttered in his mouth, and tears fell down: "I...... I want to see my dad! ”

If Lao Yuan is in Chang'an City, he will see it, there are not many people who have eaten these days, and her dishes have been prepared early, and it is too late to cook it alone.

But Lao Yuan is not in Chang'an at the moment, but in Xianyang......

Wen Mingtang was also a little worried, and at this time, Ah Bing couldn't help but speak when he looked at the weeping Tang Yuan: "Master Wen, can I take a leave with you with Tang Yuan?" ”

While speaking, the movement here attracted the attention of Ji Caimai, who was settling accounts, he walked over, heard the words, and after a little hesitation, he immediately asked Wen Mingtang: "Master Wen can make twilight food alone?" ”

Wen Mingtang nodded, understood what Ji Caimai meant, thought about it, and said, "If there is a carriage and a veteran of driving, it will be possible to send the two children to Xianyang!" ”

It's only time to go to Shen now, and when Bai Zhu and Liu Yuan left yesterday, it was only half an hour earlier than now. There are many people returning to their hometowns during the New Year's Festival, and Xianyang and other places have deliberately postponed the closure of the city gate for an hour.

Ji Caimai nodded after hearing this, and said: "My second nephew has only come back from a foreign country in the past few days, although he is young, he is a veteran of driving, and he has time to take the two children on a trip, but Ah Bing's family has to send someone to say it." ”

When Wen Mingtang heard this, he immediately said: "When Zhao Yuan comes to pick up the food for a while, I will ask him to take a trip." ”

So...... It was finalized, and said hello to Wen Mingtang, and Ji Caimai took Ah Bing and Tangyuan out of the kitchen.
