Dali Temple Small Dining Room

  Chapter 80 Sauerkraut fish (3)

   Hastily took the bowl of pickled fish and found a nearby seat and sat down. Liu Yuan couldn't wait to stretch out his chopsticks to pick up the fish fillets.

There are almost no thorns on the extremely thin slices of fish. When you put it in your mouth and sip it lightly, it will be broken. taste. The fresh fish is mixed with the hot, sour and delicious soup, sour, cool, spicy, and fresh. Every taste is mixed. The hot oiled dish is not only not greasy at all, but surprisingly appetizing.

Swallowing the tender and delicious fish slices in one bite, Liu Yuan's chopsticks reached out to the side dishes below: crispy fungus, delicious mushrooms, wrapped in the hot and sour soup, several kinds of umami are multi-pronged , the taste is layered on top of each other, rich to the extreme.

   Among them, the most surprising thing is the sauerkraut, which was originally plain and only served as a side dish of porridge. He had eaten the sauerkraut on the Zhuangzi before, and it tasted good, but what he tasted on a daily basis was far less amazing than the bowl of sauerkraut fish. It seems that Master Wen specially added ingredients and fried it for a while, and there is a different kind of deliciousness in the sour aroma. A mouthful of sauerkraut and a big mouthful of rice are really incomparable when served with rice.

Liu Yuan buried his head in eating hard, one bowl of rice was still not enough for him, he walked two times, and when the third bowl was added, Tangyuan glanced at his bulging stomach through his clothes, and said: "Liu Sicheng , It's almost night, if you eat too much, you may accumulate food."

  Liu Yuan: "..."

   Can this be his fault? Isn't it because the bowl of pickled fish is too appetizing?

However, although he felt that he was not enjoying himself enough, it was indeed not suitable to eat too much at night. Liu Yuan did not ask for a third bowl of rice, but went back to his bowl of pickled fish, picked up the pickled fish with only some soup left, and poured out the soup. After gulping it down, he licked his mouth and left.

  Looking at the empty rice bucket in hand, Tangyuan couldn't help but said: "If you eat like this, everyone in Dali Temple will be fatter than five or ten catties."

  Wen Mingtang: "..."

   Eaten to the fullest, Ji Caimai, who was picking his teeth at the side, paused when he heard the words, as if he didn't remember this until now, reached out to touch his bulging belly, fell silent for a moment, turned and left.

  …

  …

  Early the next morning, seeing that the ingredients were much less than usual, Wen Mingtang looked at Ji Caibu.

  Ji Caimai said: "I have eaten a lot in the past few days, and occasionally I want to change my appetite, so let's cook porridge and serve it with steamed buns!"

   Today’s morning food at Dali Temple is porridge with mushrooms and pork meat served with steamed buns. It’s really a rare Korean food that everyone knows.

  However, even if it is the same morning food, I don’t know if it’s because of psychology. I always feel that Master Wen’s cooking seems to be tastier than others’ cooking, and the pork meat is also more tender!

  After eating the court food, Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu went out.

   After the morning meal time, Wen Mingtang handed over the public kitchen to Master Sun who took over the lunch, and then went back to the small courtyard to make sauces.

  Whether it's bean paste, sweet noodle sauce, soybean paste or plum sauce, these sauces she brought out from the palace are almost used, so it's time to make some preparations.

  …

  After traveling outside for a day, it was almost sunset, Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu rushed back to Dali Temple, and went to see Lin Fei after eating a bowl of ice powder from Dali Temple.

  When he saw Lin Fei, he saw Zhao You showing Lin Fei a soft sword in his hand.

   "Lin Shaoqing, what do you think?"

  Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu looked at the soft sword that had been slightly modified: Compared with before, the biggest difference is probably the gemstone that was picked out.

  Lin Fei took the soft sword, held it in his hand, weighed it slightly, said "um", put the soft sword aside, and then looked at Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu who came in.

  The two were shocked by the sight, and quickly handed over the file in their hands, and then started talking.

"Lin Shaoqing, I found it! In addition to the daily performances, family banquets, and visits, Mrs. Zhou once served porridge outside the city more than a year ago." Liu Yuan said, "The reputation of Huaishan County Prince's Mansion has always been good. It seems that this kind of porridge donation has been done a lot. More than a year ago, before Fuzi started looking for an opera troupe to sing, a little beggar outside the city starved to death in the temple. During those three days when the porridge was served, Mrs. Zhou showed up in person."

   A dignitary like Mrs. Zhou will not easily appear in front of people. They have lived in peace for so many years, but when something happened at that time, it is very likely that someone saw her when she showed up.

  But...why is it that the family of Huaishan County King, who walks and shows up every day, is fine, but Mrs. Zhou has something wrong when she shows up?

Lin Fei took out four chess pieces from the chess holder at the corner of the table and put them on the table, and said: "There is a husband and wife with the same child who died in place of the Huaishan county king's family. The husband and wife replaced the Huaishan county king and his wife, and the child replaced each other. Li Zhao is still in his infancy," he said, pushing three of them aside, pointing to the only remaining chess piece, and said, "There is no one to replace the remaining one."

   When Huaishan County King's family detoured to Salt Lake City, something happened, and the replacement was also a temporary idea. Most of the guards that ordinary people bring when they travel are middle-aged people. It seems that Song Guanshi and his wife brought a baby Fuzi, perhaps because the child is too young to be separated from others. But this family, if they went to Salt Lake City for another purpose, they would definitely not bring the elderly with limited mobility.

   Therefore, Mrs. Zhou herself is very likely to be irreplaceable.

Lin Fei picked up the only chess piece left, held it in his hand, and said: "At that time, Mrs. Zhou went to another place as a lucky child who was in the same baby with those two people. Then, something unexpected happened, something happened. , the couple died, and Fuzi was also considered dead, only Mrs. Zhou recovered her life."

   In this way, some things will make sense.

Can…

"If it's just an ordinary replacement, what can Mrs. Zhou do if she is alive?" Bai Zhu frowned, and said, "It's just that his personal morality is at a loss. How can we do anything to his family? Why is Mrs. Zhou Will he die suddenly of a heart attack?"

  What did the Huaishan county king's family do back then? What is the secret?

Lin Fei stared down at the file for a moment, then suddenly pulled out a piece of paper from the corner of the table with his backhand, then pointed to the names of the people on the paper, and asked Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu: "These retired Salt Lake City How is the veteran doing today?"

The two were startled, and Liu Yuan replied instinctively: "They all live in the third street and nine alleys in the west of the city, ordinary people, not too rich. Two of them still have old injuries on their bodies, and their lives are particularly tight. bar…"

  Hearing this, Lin Fei interrupted him: "Give out the porridge outside the city, those two days are so tight, would they go outside the city to pick up the porridge?"

  The two suddenly understood what Lin Fei meant: "So, it is very likely that those two veterans met Mrs. Zhou more than a year ago?"

  Lin Fei is noncommittal, no matter how accurate the guess is, it needs evidence to prove it.

   "Hurry up and find him!" Lin Fei paused after saying this, and then said, "I also want to ask how the old injuries on those two veterans came about?"

   I have an assignment to write today, the next chapter may be later, or it may have to wait until tomorrow
