Chapter 451: Scissor Noodles (4)
ended the conversation with Lin Fei like a dumb riddle, and soon after Lin Fei left, Ah Bing and Tang Yuan came to find Wen Mingtang.
"Master Wen, what do you do to eat?"
Wen Mingtang sat in front of the window, turning out the inkstone in his baggage to add water and ink, and said, "Didn't the internal affairs yamen send pork meat?" Meat food to make a braised pork meat, vegetarian food with the tender leek and eggs to scramble, and then with a soup. β
Although the ingredients sent by the internal affairs yamen were not harsh to the point of starvation, they were by no means too much, and one meat, one vegetable and one soup became the standard configuration of the yamen of various ministries. In this way, no matter which yamen chef you go to, the three foods are almost the same.
So...... The level of cooking skills of each chef is even clearer.
There are only two or three kinds of ingredients, and there are too many to turn into flowers. Tang Yuan Tong Ah Bing nodded, and was forced to reduce the dishes by the internal affairs yamen, but the chef was a lot more relaxed, a total of three dishes, it was easy to make tight, especially Ah Bingtong Tang Yuan, who had practiced cooking with Wen Mingtang for a year last year.
It just so happened that these dishes were not skilled, there was more oil and less oil, and how to place sugar, salt, sauce and vinegar was a slow and diligent job, and if you really want to go out to open a restaurant, then the amount of ingredients is all in the hands of the two, and you need to master it.
It just so happened that Master Wen's arm could be recuperated.
Wen Mingtang rubbed his plastered arm and did not refuse the kindness of the two.
After the two of them left, they began to write.
Although the dishes are simple, the taste is not bad, and it is from Chef Wen at first glance...... The handwriting of Ah Bingtong Tangyuan who was taught.
After looking around for a long time, I didn't see the shadow of a third person behind the kitchen countertop, and someone couldn't help but ask Ah Bingtong Tangyuan: "Where is Master Wen?" β
Tang Yuan said with a smile: "Master Wen injured his hand when he was making scissor noodles in the morning. β
The questioning official twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "Master Wen will be lazy on the first day of the New Year, it's not like I'm busy turning over the dossier, my eyes are full of flowers when I get up, and I'm begging for mercy from heaven and earth right now, it's best not to come to the next case at this time, so that I can stop and breathe a sigh......
Before he could finish speaking, a familiar voice came from outside.
"I'm afraid I can't!"
It was Bai Zhu who walked in with these words, and he was still holding an open complaint in his hand, and said, "A new case is coming!" β
Again...... Originally, the servants and the little officials who were waiting in line to receive the twilight food all changed their faces, and some people had white faces, trembling their lips and wanted to say something, but they didn't say anything.
When is the time...... It's really lacking in skills!
Compared with the ugly faces of the servants and the officials, Bai Zhu's face was calm, he looked at everyone, paused for a moment, and said, "The one who handed over the complaint...... It's Master Wen. β
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.
After a moment of silence in the kitchen, the voices of inquiries rang out one after another.
"Master Wen? What happened to Master Wen? Someone immediately asked.
Some of them were thoughtful, thought about it, and said, "Is it a family affair or your own business?" β
As soon as these words came out, even many people looked at Bai Zhu. Master Wen's background is not a secret, and neither is the Wen family's affairs. If it is the Wen family's business, it is an old matter, and if it is their own business, it should be the trouble that has only been encountered in the past two days.
Bai Zhu's answer was a bit unexpected by everyone.
Bai Zhu looked at the people who were looking at him and said, "It's both a family affair and a matter of your own." β
This is a little confusing.
Looking at everyone's puzzled eyes, Bai Zhu smiled and said, "Master Wen sued his cousin, isn't it both a family matter and his own business?" β
Everyone suddenly said "oh", and soon someone reacted: "Master Wen's cousin...... I remember that it seems to be the head card of the teaching workshop that Yuwang once packed! Later, I heard that there was no news. β
"There's news right now." Bai Zhu said with a smile, "So Master Wen sued his cousin and sued her...... once teamed up with King Yu to kill her in the street. β
Although the woman named Wen Xiutang is Master Wen's cousin, her temperament is completely different from Master Wen, and she knows that she is two kinds of people at a glance. Although Yuwang's case was closed, it was a fact that the dead man was chasing and killing Master Wen on the street at that time, and he happened to catch up with Lin Shaoqing, Liu Sicheng and Bai Sicheng, who were also hunted down. In full view of everyone, the streets witnessed this scene.
However, at that time, because the dead man died, although it was suspected that this person was instructed by King Yu, there was no proof of his death, so Master Wen did not complain.
Later, after the accident of King Yu's case, this Wen Xiutang disappeared, and Master Wen did not sue except for privately asking them to find someone.
But I didn't expect that Master Wen would come to the complaint silently today.
Someone reacted: "Master Wen's cousin has been found?" β
Bai Zhu nodded and said, "I found it, now Liu Yuan and Zhao You have already gone over to take people." β
Who would have thought that Wen Xiutang, whose whereabouts were unknown after King Yu's accident, would come back?
β¦β¦
Wen Mingtang didn't expect Wen Xiutang to come back so soon, you must know that Wen Xiutang has been away from Beijing for less than a year.
Rubbing his nose, remembering the fragrance he smelled when he passed by Ye Huai's side yesterday and the sachet that Ye Huai wore on his waist, Wen Mingtang became suspicious.
At that time, the only clue left when Wen Xiutang disappeared was that the steward who took Wen Xiutang spoke with a local accent in the south of the Yangtze River, and Ye Huai and the others came from the south of the Yangtze River, which was quite contrived.
Some things may sound like jokes, but there may not be no clues in the jokes.
Ye Huai had come to Chang'an earlier, Lin Fei had to be deceived by Ye Huai's good skin in order to beat her, and said that Ye Huai was talented more than once, and he was quite sought after by many women as a young talent.
These women have a lot of girlfriends, but more ...... But it's a dusty woman.
It's not surprising that talented people's poems and famous prostitutes sing songs have always been one of the fastest ways for women to show their talents.
Wen Xiutang was in the teaching workshop at that time, and it was not strange to hear Ye Huai's name. Judging from Wen Xiutang's habit of competing with her since she was a child, Ye Huai is the ex-fiancΓ© of the original owner, and Wen Xiutang was still the person of King Yu at that time, but he may not find a way to meet Ye Huai, so that he can respond to the original owner. With Ye Huai's temperament...... Eh, how could a beauty like Wen Xiutang not go if she was invited?
Again...... Thinking of what happened to the "original owner" in the dream, it is conceivable how Ye Huai would place Wen Xiutang.
Wen Mingtang felt that this Wen Xiutang was the second "original owner", but this time, something happened to the county lord of Liyang, and Ye Zhouxu had other plans, so Wen Xiutang did not die in the name of "fake death", but followed him to the capital.
So...... It's just right, she is still looking for Wen Xiutang, she sent it to the door herself!
