Dali Temple Small Dining Room 2

Chapter 65 Hand rubbing ice powder ([-])

Wen Mingtang took a small bowl over, scooped the light yellow ice powder into the bowl with a spoon, then put hawthorn slices, crushed peanuts, raisins, and boiled glutinous rice balls in order, and finally poured a spoonful of brown sugar juice on it and handed it over.

The two hurriedly took it, walked to the table and sat down.The spoons of both of them paused at the same time due to the full amount of material, and when they saw Wen Mingtang directly put the ice powder and the material into their mouths with a spoon, the two followed Wen Mingtang's example to scoop ice pink.

At the moment of entrance, the glutinous rice balls exclaimed "delicious!"

The light yellow ice powder is icy cold but extremely smooth after entering the mouth. You don’t need to use your tongue to push it out, let alone bite it with your teeth. Passing through the mouth into the abdomen, an indescribable cool and refreshing feeling surged up with sweetness.

"No wonder Master Wen said that this hand-rubbing ice powder can relieve the heat!" A Bing took a mouthful of the ice powder, and went to scoop up the toppings.

The hawthorn is cut into small pieces, sour and sweet, and the crushed peanuts are ground into rough grains. Mixed with brown sugar juice, it reminds them of the taste of the pumpkin cake filled with brown sugar and peanuts that day. The raisins are sour and sweet. , with a strong fruity aroma, what he likes the most is the cooked glutinous rice balls, which are soft and sweet, and the taste is even richer when mixed with ice powder.

The whole bowl of ice powder was sweet but not greasy, which made A Bingtong nod his head in applause, and said repeatedly: "Master Wen, can you make this hand-rubbed ice powder every day besides the sour plum drink?"

Wen Mingtang smiled, handed over the ice powder in his hand, and said, "Ask Ji Cai to buy it!"

One sentence reminded Ah Bing, and he quickly got up and ran out with the ice powder.

How can Lao Tao Ji disagree with buying a bowl of ice powder?I wrote down the materials Wen Mingtang needed, and wrote down the purchase list on the spot.

When Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu came back from a trip to the inn, Lin Fei was eating the lotus seed soup stewed by Mrs. Jingyun Zheng's in Jingyunhou's mansion when they were eating ice powder.

After drinking one bowl, when Mrs. Zheng was about to serve the second bowl, Lin Fei stopped her and said, "Why is mother calling me back home?"

Mrs. Zheng then said: "Old Mrs. Zhou of Huaishan County Prince's Mansion is gone. Your grandfather will go there in the evening, and you guys will go there together with him."

They were all dignitaries in the capital, they didn't look up and they didn't look down. Lord Jingguo had a good relationship with the Duke of Huaishan County who died young, so he naturally wanted to go and have a look now.

Lin Fei let out a little surprise when he heard the words, looked at Mrs. Zheng, and asked, "Didn't the old lady celebrate her birthday yesterday?" He paused for a while, and then said, "Are you invited?" Troupe?"

"Yes!" Zheng said here, sighed softly, and said quietly, "Yesterday, I was fine during the day, but I heard that I suddenly had a heart attack at night. You also know that heart disease happens suddenly. No matter how fast the doctor ran, he might not be able to save him, and the old lady couldn't be saved."

As she spoke, Zheng couldn't help feeling that the world was impermanent, but she didn't notice that Lin Fei who was on the side looked thoughtful when she heard this.

In the evening, Duke Jingguo took some of the Lin family's children to the Prince's Mansion in Huaishan County.

On the old lady's birthday yesterday, Lin Fei didn't come, so he didn't feel much.

On the contrary, Lin Nan, the eldest son of the Marquis of Jingyun who came yesterday, couldn't help sighing: "Yesterday there were red lanterns hanging and it was all festive, but today there are white flags everywhere. It really feels like people are right and wrong!"

Lin Fei glanced at his sentimental elder brother, and was about to speak when he heard a voice not far ahead.

"My son, Ah Fei!"

Lin Fei raised his head and looked at the person who called him "A Fei". The person who came was dressed in plain clothes. Li Yuan beside him was looking at him with a sneer, and gritted his teeth: "Lin Fei, you are a treacherous villain!"

Lin Fei ignored Li Yuan, but looked at the man in plain clothes - Li Zhao, the king of Huaishan County Prince's Mansion.

Li Zhao strode over, greeted Lin Fei, and walked aside with Lin Nan to chat.

Li Zhao and Lin Nan were about the same age, and they had a good relationship on weekdays, so they had a good time chatting.

Lin Fei, who was left behind, had no friendship with Li Yuan, who was a few years younger.Not only that, Li Yuan glared at Lin Fei angrily, and cursed: "Treacherous villain!"

Lin Fei glanced at him, and said lightly, "Why are you treacherous?"

Li Yuan thought for a while and said, "That cook..."

Before Li Yuan could finish speaking, Lin Fei shook his head and interrupted him: "Impossible!"

"Then you are not treacherous?" Li Yuan said angrily, "I asked my cook to make the oily noodles, but he has never heard of it, and there are soy milk fritters... Did you deliberately not give the cook to me? I'm coming?"

Lin Fei glanced at him, and said: "She is the cook of my Dali Temple's public cook, not the cook of the Prince's Mansion in Pingxi County. If you want to eat, just let the cook in your mansion do it!"

The problem is that it can't be done!Li Yuan looked at Lin Fei bitterly: "You clearly helped that cook on purpose..."

Before finishing speaking, Li Yuan was stunned subconsciously when he received Lin Fei's cold stare. When he came back to his senses and was about to get angry, Lin Fei suddenly asked him: "Where did you go last night? Did you stay overnight at Huaishan County Prince's Mansion?"

Li Yuan didn't know why, but subconsciously nodded, and said: "Master, I will stay overnight if I want to. I have a good relationship with Brother Zhao, and we often played together when we were young. What's wrong with staying overnight? Master, I don't just stay overnight , Young Master, I still share the same bed with Brother Zhao!"

Lin Fei gave a "hmm", looked at the black eyes under his eyes, and asked, "How did you sleep last night?"

"I choose the bed..." Li Yuan murmured subconsciously, facing Lin Fei, but still stubbornly turned back, "What's none of your business?"

Lin Fei turned a blind eye to his reply, but continued to ask: "How did Li Zhao sleep last night?"

Li Yuan pursed his lips, and was about to sneer back, but Lin Fei suddenly said: "Master Wen made the morning food by himself, I can ask her if she can write a menu for the recipe."

Li Yuan was startled when he heard this, and immediately understood the meaning of Lin Fei's words.The angry look on his face eased a little, he paused, coughed lightly, and said: "Brother Zhao didn't sleep very well, he tossed and turned, and got up twice at night just like me."

Lin Fei let out a "huh".

However, Li Yuan became interested in his sudden question. He glanced at Li Zhao who was talking happily with Lin Nan. He thought for a while, approached Lin Fei, and asked in a low voice, "Is Brother Zhao involved in any case?" ?”

Lin Fei glanced at him.

Li Yuan proudly said: "The one you are interested in, isn't that implicated in the case? Didn't I do the same last time? Is it the same with Brother Zhao?" At this point, Li Yuan paused, and suddenly said, "You should I don't doubt Mrs. Zhou's death...impossible! Yesterday we went together when we got up at night, and I didn't sleep well all night, so I knew Brother Zhao was innocent. The old lady died at night It has nothing to do with Brother Zhao if he died of a heart attack!"
