Although Wen Mingtang vaguely knew that the problem was not small for the trouble left by Wen Xuance, he didn't think that the problem would be so big, so he was not in a hurry, and together with Tangyuan and Ah Bing, he knocked melon seeds for a day, drank tea for a day, and chatted about eating without a stubble.

From the cold dishes before the main course to the main course to the dim sum at the end of a meal, several people talked a lot. Although he didn't explicitly say that he was going to open a restaurant, he talked about it in such detail, obviously it wasn't intentional, and Tang Yuan and Ah Bing were very happy about it.

This is the case in January, not going out to see the temple fair and shopping, but the gods and Buddhas in the temple are close to each other, praying that the other party will look at themselves more pleasing to the eye, and the coming year will be smooth; is to visit relatives and friends, if you don't go out or go to relatives, then just like Wen Mingtang, A Bing and Tangyuan chatting with melon seeds.

Today's three meals are all made with glutinous rice balls and Ah Bing, and many of the dishes they have learned in the past year have been made by both of them, and it is more than enough to cope with one meal.

After the evening food was over, Wen Mingtang got up and went to the kitchen, and began to prepare a supper for Lin Fei and others to eat at the door in the middle of the night.

Put the washed and chopped chicken into a large casserole, add ginger slices and wine, wait until boiling, skim off the floating dust floating on the top, make the soup cleaner, and then add wolfberries, black dates and soaked mountain mushrooms, and stew slowly.

After doing this, Wen Mingtang returned to the house, sat down and continued to drink tea and chat with the two.

Seeing that Wen Mingtang had not yet had a stick of incense to come and go, the two were also a little surprised: "Master Wen, is the supper ready?" ”

Wen Mingtang nodded and said with a smile: "It's almost." ”

For supper, for Lin Fei and other tired people, what they pay attention to is an ironing and fast, a bowl of tender and clean mushroom stewed chicken soup plus a handful of rice noodles, and the hot soup and water are served quickly, and the stomach is ready.

If it was placed on weekdays, Lin Fei and others came to relieve their cravings, Wen Mingtang would be willing to take a charcoal basin to make a barbecue or something, but now...... Let's leave it at that!

Wen Mingtang guessed right, halfway through the hour, there was a knock on the door of the Yuan family, and Lin Fei, Liu Yuan, and Bai Zhu appeared outside the door with Zhao Youtong and the other two messengers.

Looking at the visible exhaustion on the faces of those people, and the dust and mud on the boots of several people, you can see that they have walked a long way so far.

When he walked in, Zhao Youtong and the other two officers were still carrying a burden behind him. When Wen Mingtang, Tang Yuan and Ah Bing welcomed people in, they were still curious about what was in this huge burden, and after a few people sat down and put the burden down, they looked at the shape of the burden and immediately understood that there was a dossier inside, a dossier full of several burdens.

I don't know where this group got so many files.

Although he was curious, Wen Mingtang didn't ask much, but couldn't help but take a second look at the baggage, then withdrew his gaze, and then when he was about to leave to go to the kitchen, Lin Fei spoke: "We went to the household department today." ”

Although there was only this sentence, Wen Mingtang understood, these files were all from the household department.

But the household department is not outside the city, why is there so much mud on the boots?

"I went through the old files of the household department many years ago," Lin Fei said, glanced up at Wen Mingtang who was leaving, and said in a voice that she could just hear, "I went to the household treasury outside the city." ”

One of the six yamen of Darong is naturally not small, but Darong Guozuo has been planted by hundreds, and there are always times when the dossiers and sundries are piled up in the treasury in the yamen.

Naturally, the files that were moved to the treasury outside the city were either old or unimportant.

Unexpectedly, today they went there...... Wen Mingtang, who was just a bystander about the case, couldn't think of or guess the intention of this group of people to go there, but most of it was related to Zhao Mengzhuo's case.

There is a specialization in the art industry, is she ...... Just make this supper, so that this bowl of warm soup and water can drive Lin Fei and their fatigue after a day of travel.

After an hour and a half of slow cooking, the pot of mushroom stewed chicken soup has been completely flavored, Wen Mingtang only came halfway, added some salt, and did not put anything else.

This method, compared to the more complicated and elaborate methods she used to do in the past, is simple and tight, and it is not much different from the practice of most of Daei's cooks.

If you have to talk about the difference, it is probably just that the soup is clearer.

Lifting the lid and looking at it, Wen Mingtang put the lid back on it and began to prepare other things.

Start with a bowl of chicken soup with mushrooms and a handful of smooth rice noodles, and the hot soup will be the best way to dispel fatigue.

Still...... And that's not all. After all, when Wen Mingtang came back from a trip to the market today, he brought a basket full of vegetables and meat, even if they were eaten by Tangyuan and Ah Bing as lunch, there was a lot of leftover over from each.

Wen Mingtang deliberately took out the small plates of the rice balls, put the nine small plates neatly into the square tray, and then put the side dishes into each small plate in turn: thinly sliced pork loin, black fish fillets, pork loin slices that have passed through the water and five ripe pork loins, bamboo shoots, quail eggs, mushrooms, pea tips, tofu skin, fungus, etc., although there is something to put on it, but there are also meat and vegetables.

When the digital was finished, Wen Mingtang looked at the side dish tray in the shape of "Jiugongge", and couldn't help but purse his lips lightly.

Although it is just an ordinary bowl of rice noodles, after such a stack, the unique sense of exquisiteness comes up, and more importantly, it can be eaten freshly hot.

In fact...... This is the practice of imitating the cross-bridge rice noodles, but it is not authentic. As for the more authentic ones, let's keep them for now, and maybe open a restaurant in the future...... It's the same as broken golden rice, it's a gimmick to attract customers!

In the side room, because Lin Fei spoke, Zhao You and the two servants also sat down, and the six of them were sitting in front of the largest dining table in the Tangyuan family waiting for Wen Mingtang's supper.

Because Master Wen said before going to the kitchen that he had stewed chicken soup and added rice noodles today, these were not uneaten in the kitchen before, and everyone was not curious, so they just waited for the chicken soup and rice noodles to come over, while talking about today's rush.

"Those people in the household department are not particular about it, the files from decades ago are stacked there so casually, and they don't care about insect pests or anything, so many files are stationed!" One of the officers couldn't help but complain, "A lot of them have been hollowed out." ”

"But fortunately, the files that Lin Shaoqing asked me to find are still there!" The other officer breathed a sigh of relief, answered, paused, and couldn't help muttering, "If it weren't for Lin Shaoqing mentioning it, I wouldn't have thought of going through the old warehouse of the household department!" Thinking about the case related to the household department that Lord Zhao handled back then, Lord Zhao was seriously injured and fell into an old illness. In these years, every winter, you need to wear two thick jackets to be able to carry it. There was no indication from the household, and he didn't ask a question, which was really chilling. ”

In response to the muttering and complaining of the errand officer, Lin Fei, who was looking down and flipping through the file on the other side, did not raise his head and react. This is not surprising, Lin Shaoqing is a man of few words. It's just that Bai Zhu and Liu Yuan on the other side, especially Liu Yuan, who has always talked a lot, were unexpectedly silent and didn't answer, and only poured a cup of tea and a cup of tea into his stomach with Bai Zhu, as if he had been running for a day and was really tired.

Zhao Youtong didn't wait for the two messengers to respond, and looked at the three people who didn't answer on the other side in puzzlement, and he was a little at a loss for a while.
