Dali Temple Small Dining Room

  Chapter 65 Hand rubbing ice powder (2)

  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 cooked glutinous rice **** in order, and finally poured a spoonful of brown sugar juice 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 **** 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 bite 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, so A Bingtong couldn't help nodding 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 A Bing, and he quickly got up and ran out with ice powder.

  Old Tao Ji buys a bowl of ice powder and eats it. How can there be any reason to disagree? I wrote down the materials Wen Mingtang needed, and wrote down the purchase list on the spot.

   After Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu came back from a trip to the post station, when they ate ice powder, Lin Fei was eating lotus seed soup stewed by Mrs. Jingyun Zheng's in Jingyunhou's mansion to clear away heat and heat.

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

  Zheng then said: "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 are all dignitaries in the capital, they don’t see each other when they look up, and Lord Jingguo has a good relationship with the King of Huaishan County who died young, so he naturally wants 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, "I also invited you 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, Mrs. Zheng couldn't help but sigh with emotion about the impermanence of the world, but she didn't notice that Lin Fei who was on the side heard this, showing a thoughtful expression.

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

  Yesterday, when the old lady had her birthday, Lin Fei didn't come, so she didn't feel much.

  It was Lin Nan, the prince of the Marquis of Jingyun who came yesterday, who couldn't help but sighed: "Yesterday, there were red lanterns hanging, and it was all festive. 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 Xiaojun Wang 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 are about the same age, and they have a pretty good relationship on weekdays, so they chatted happily.

  Lin Fei, who was left behind, had no friendship with Li Yuan, who was a few years behind. 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 me the cook? coming?"

  Lin Fei glanced at him, and said: "She is the cook of the public kitchen of my Dali Temple, 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 he finished speaking, he received Lin Fei's cold stare, and Li Yuan was subconsciously stunned for a moment. When he came back to his senses and was about to get angry, Lin Fei suddenly asked him: "What did you do 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 ignored his reply, but continued to ask: "How did Li Zhao sleep last night?"

  Li Yuan pouted, 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 that, 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 "hmm".

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 won'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. It has nothing to do with Brother Zhao!"
