Dali Temple Small Dining Room 2

Chapter 326 Fish-flavored Eggplant Casserole ([-])

Lin Fei rubbed the center of his brows, glanced at the vermilion door again and left.

After he left, the coachman who was listening to the commotion outside threw the whip to the porter, and strode to report to Princess Liyang.

It's not just a coachman who can order ordinary servants of the palace at will. The porter picked up the horsewhip that fell on the ground with a respectful expression.

This is the confidant of the prince and princess, so he can't offend at will.

Today, the thief who "wrecked into the palace by mistake" was not caught at the top of the wall. I'm afraid that someone will suffer from the princess's place, so it's better to be on the safe side.

Others envied them for treating others and doing things in Shan Liyang's mansion, and only they knew what the masters and masters in this mansion looked like behind closed doors.

When I went back to Dali Temple with a pile of scriptures, it was time for the public chef to eat evening food.

Wen Mingtang went back to rest for a while, flipped through his notebook, and went to the public kitchen when the evening meal was about to end, to see the glutinous rice ball master and A Bing master who had been busy all day.

Today, the public chef cooks fish head tofu stew, which is supposed to be one fish head per person, but Dali Temple Minister Zhao Mengzhuo, who did not eat evening meals in the yamen in the past, unexpectedly stayed in the yamen to eat evening meals for the first time.To be honest, he has been greedy for food from the public kitchen for a long time in the past, but after all, his wife is more important in his heart, no matter how delicious it is, he still wants to eat the food made by his wife, so he rarely comes to the public kitchen.

Mrs. Zhao went to a banquet today, instead of cooking by herself as in the past, Zhao Mengzhuo naturally came to the public kitchen.

The fresh and spicy taste of the chopped pepper fish head tofu and chopped peppers was so satisfying to Zhao Mengzhuo's appetite that one fish head was not enough, so he ate two fish heads in a row, and then touched his bulging belly and asked Ji Cai to buy it I asked for some hawthorn pills for digestion, refused the escort of the coachman Lao Yuan, and walked all the way back.

Mr. Zhao just lost two servings of food out of thin air. He originally planned to eat the glutinous rice balls and A Bing after the evening meal, so he could only watch what was left in the public kitchen and make them for the evening meal. .

While worrying, Wen Mingtang came over.

The three people who hadn't eaten the evening food hit it off immediately, and looked through the stock of the public kitchen.

The night food vegetarian dishes used eggplant, and there were some left on the table.The fish body left over from the meat-eating fish head tofu stew is used to make fish balls, which are ready to be made into soup tomorrow.Pork pork with pork belly has been used to make crispy pork belly these days, and it is being pickled and hung in the warehouse at this time, but Ji Caimai bought a lot of pork belly, so the people in the village donated more meat Mo and Ji Cai bought, the minced meat was placed on the table at this time, because it was only a small packet, it was still a gift, and everyone hadn't figured out how to use it yet.

Mr. Zhao's appetite improved for a while, so the three of them only had these minced meat left in their nighttime meat meals.

Tang Yuan looked at the minced meat, thought for a while, and said, "Why don't you make a stewed egg with minced meat?"

With Master Wen around, this stewed egg with minced meat is also very delicious.

However, Wen Mingtang picked up a few eggplants from the countertop, and said to the glutinous rice balls, "I won't make stewed eggs with minced meat, and I'm missing vegetarian dishes."

They had a good grasp of the appetite of the people in the Dali Temple. Today, after the people in the Dali Temple finished their evening food, there was nothing left on the table except some vegetable soup.

Wen Mingtang held up the eggplant in his hand, and said, "Let's make meat and vegetables together!"

……

It was past the time of Xu time for evening food, and most of the Dali Temple left except for a few guards who stayed on duty overnight.

Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu haven't left yet. They are usually more concerned about the case than they are. It is rare for Shangfeng and Lin Shaoqing to ask for leave, but the two of them dare not neglect. Shangfeng is not here, not only can't slack off, but should behave better , otherwise, wouldn't it be lined like someone who eats dry rice?
Shangfeng was not here today, and after Hu Siming in prison and Liu Sanqing, who was in the stone gambling business, they went to visit Zhang Wulin, who was in the business of the Four Treasures of the Study.

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, he dropped a red moon clear clay inkstone on the cruise ship.

When visiting Zhang Wulin in the past, Zhang Wulin was arranging the four treasures of the study on the multi-treasure shelf in his shop.

Although it is only a shop that sells the Four Treasures of the Study, it is different from most shops in the city that only have two simple shops. Zhang Wulin's shop is not so much a shop as a building, and among the shops that sell the Four Treasures of the Study in the city, there is only one with three floors. shop.

However, the four treasures of the study sold by Zhang Wulin's shop are all unusual, all of them are famous products, and the people they entertain on weekdays are not ordinary people. It also makes sense.

The business of this kind of shop is not based on quantity. When Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu entered, there was only Zhang Wulin in the shop, not even a clerk.

"Guys have something to do at home these few days," Zhang Wulin and the two explained with a smile after seeing the ceremony, "It happens that there is no one at the moment, so please ask if you have any questions!"

The left red moon inkstone was placed on the table, Bai Zhu picked up the inkstone, looked at the vermilion full moon on it, got up, walked to the multi-treasure shelf and looked inside the shop The Four Treasures of the Study.

Zhang Wulin raised his head instinctively, and followed Bai Zhu's direction with his eyes, but he heard two "knock knocks" in his ears. When he turned his head, he saw Liu Yuan on the other side knocking on the table, motioning him to look at the table. Own.

This knock made Zhang Wulin notice him, and Liu Yuan began to ask: "The Hongyuecheng mud inkstone is not a big thing, and it is easy to carry in your arms. How could it fall for no reason?"

This kind of external object is no better than the soft armor internal object dropped by Liu Sanqing, so it is naturally easy to explain.

Zhang Wulin smiled, and explained calmly: "The moon was full in the Mid-Autumn Festival that day, and I brought Chengni inkstone to facilitate more business. The atmosphere during the banquet was good. I drank a few more glasses during the festival, and I forgot about it when I got off the boat. When I remembered this the next day, I hurried to get it back."

Liu Yuan let out a "huh", noncommittal to his explanation, and continued to ask: "When did I get on the boat, and when did I get off the boat."

Zhang Wulin said with a smile: "The boat I entered in Youshi was a tour boat chartered by the chamber of commerce. There were many merchants on the boat. It is inevitable for those who do business on weekdays to socialize. Many people are witnesses. When they got off the boat, they were probably sons and daughters. It's time."

This witness is the same as Liu Sanqing's, and there is nothing to consider.As for the cruise ship, after asking Liu Sanqing, the people from the boat rental office on the Weishui River came to the Yamen to confirm that there were indeed several pleasure boats belonging to the Chamber of Commerce in the cruise ship. People will take care of it.

The witnesses Liu Sanqing gave when he boarded the ship were also those on board, as were the witnesses Zhang Wulin gave when he boarded and disembarked.

Like Liu Sanqing, it seemed very "frank" at first, but Liu Yuan didn't even lift his eyelids, and asked Zhang Wulin: "These hours have been witnesses throughout the whole process? Have you ever left in the middle?"

The smile on Zhang Wulin's face froze, he paused, and looked at Liu Yuan: "How many hours will Gong not go out to enjoy the moon and watch the fireworks? Do you think it's possible?"

Liu Yuan shook his head: "Impossible."

Therefore, it is hard to say whether Zhang Wulin and Liu Sanqing disembarked halfway to engage in private affairs on the self-chartered cruise ship.

Zhang Wulin thought for a while, and was about to say something, when at this moment, Bai Zhu, who was looking at the Four Treasures of the Study in front of the multi-treasure rack, suddenly said: "Zhang Wulin, the two of us I have inquired before I came here, and I heard that every Chengni inkstone produced in your shop is an "orphan product", and the patterns drawn on it are unique, so...why is the one on your shelf different from the one on your case? Same, but different colors?"
