Chapter 252 Hoof Flower Soup (1)

"That man surnamed Yang didn't need me to wait for him. He went to wait in front of the Huang Mansion early in the morning." The officer who reported the report took a deep breath and said, smelling the rich frankincense in the air, "There should be some." Not giving up, I walked around a few times outside the Huang Mansion, trying to find Miss Huang San!"

But how could everyone in the Huang family, who had just taken Miss Huang San away last night, let a man named Yang get close to Miss Huang San? As they got a little closer, Huang Mansion's guards came out with short sticks and drove the people away.

"As a last resort, the man named Yang could only watch from a distance. At about four o'clock, Mr. Xun came!" When the officer said this, he subconsciously glanced at Lin Fei in front of him. Yesterday, Lin Shaoqing said that he would go see Huang Shizhong. " "Reminder", this "reminder" really had an immediate effect. This morning, Mr. Xun had just finished eating in the public kitchen, and he was invited to the Huang Mansion with great hospitality.

"Mr. Xun didn't come out after he went in," the servant said. "Maybe Huang Shizhong kept him for dinner!"

Xunzhou who entered the mansion was warmly entertained by Huang Shizhong, but the Yang family man who was watching outside the mansion was furious.

"I'm waiting to see the man surnamed Yang staring fiercely at Young Master Xun as he enters the house," the guard gestured, "That look... Wow, I really wish I could bite off a piece of Young Master Xun's flesh!"

Even the way they stared at Mr. Yang's husband couldn't help but sweat for Xunzhou.

"The man of the Yang family stared fiercely at the door of the Huang Mansion until noon. Before Mr. Xun came out, he sneered and left!" the officer said, "I found a few more people to follow him from a distance. I came back to report first!"

Hearing this, Lin Fei nodded and said to the guard: "Well done!" Finally, he paused and repeated it again, "Keep an eye on the man named Yang!"

The officer said "Yes", and out of the corner of his eye he glanced at the bamboo tubes in Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu's hands. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he heard Lin Fei say: "I've ordered milk tea in the public kitchen. Let's go to the public house." Get some milk tea from the kitchen, then go down and have a rest!"

With a big move, the person who bought milk tea for the entire yamen was not only Yu Jijiu next door, but also their Lin Shaoqing.

The two servants happily said "Thank you, sir", turned around and walked out the door, then quickened their pace and walked in the direction of the public kitchen.

It seems that a lot of people are thinking about the caramel milk tea yesterday!

Holding the bamboo tube in his hand, Liu Yuan said with emotion: "It's so pleasant to hold a cup of this in autumn and winter!"

The waiter who got the milk tea with special "care" from Shangfeng thought the same way. The smooth and chewy pearl dumplings added today made this already heart-warming and delicious afternoon snack even better. A different kind of fun.

As he was chewing pearl dumplings and sipping milk tea, he was about to leave when he saw a few handymen walking in carrying several baskets of food covered with cloths.

The servant stopped and was curious to see what was for dinner today, when the servant lifted the cloth covering the basket.

The servant who was about to leave was startled when he saw the fat and tender pig's hooves. He quickly turned around and asked Wen Mingtang, who was standing aside and watching the pig's hooves "attentively and affectionately": "Master Wen, this is..."

Wen Mingtang glanced at the pale-faced servant and said, "Ingredients for Mu Shi."

As soon as these words came out, the officer's face paled even more. He couldn't help but gasped: "Master Wen, this thing... can this thing be delicious?"

Although Master Wen's pork dishes have never disappointed, as for the pig's trotters... I have never heard of a chef in Chang'an who can cook them well.

Looking at the thick layer of hoof skin on the outside of the pig's hooves, people instinctively feel a sense of retreat: it's as if they have tasted the meat buns sold by the street vendors. In order to make two more silver coins, the vendors put the meat in their mouths. All the meat fillings in the buns were replaced with the cheapest fat meat. After one bite, the greasy and panicky feeling immediately came up, which was scary.

Wen Mingtang certainly knows that the current situation in Chang'an City, oh no, is that the whole of Da Rong is repulsive to pig hooves. On weekdays, there are many people from poor families who really want to eat meat but are reluctant to give up money, so they will buy cheaper ones. The pig's hooves satisfy the craving.

But if you boil it in plain water and only add salt, the pork meat will naturally not be too delicious! The pig's hooves could not be sold due to the rejection of the crowd. Most of the pig's hooves on the butcher's stall had been stored for several days and were not fresh. They even had a smell and were naturally unpalatable.

However, the pig's trotters delivered this time were only delivered by Zhuangzi. They were very fresh. Wen Mingtang looked at the pig's hooves, glanced at the pale-faced servant, and said with a smile: "You will know when the evening meal comes to eat." Already?"

The guard glanced at the white and clean hooves, shivered, and walked away quickly holding the bamboo tube milk tea in his hand.

Ji Caimai, who was settling accounts behind the counter, raised his head, looked at the leaving figure of the servant, rolled his eyelids, and said, "I'm running faster than anyone else right now, but I'm afraid I'll eat harder than anyone else at dusk!"

The fact that the evening meal wanted to eat the rare "pig's hooves" soon spread throughout the Dali Temple as the servants left, so much so that when the servants in the public kitchen were plucking the hooves, they even caused trouble. A lot of people came to watch!

Even Liu Yuan, who was busy with the case, walked around to the public kitchen and took a look when he was leaving Gong's hut. He saw Wen Mingtang pouring the chopped pig's hooves from A Bing into the water, as if preparing to blanch them.

As long as there are too many meats and dishes, Liu Yuan's eyes wandered around the countertop, and soon he saw a large pot of beans soaked in water among a pile of green onions, ginger and other accessories.

The beans were about the same size as ordinary peas, but the color was pure white like snow, which made them look very comfortable.

"What is this?" Liu Yuan pointed at the beans curiously and asked.

Wen Mingtang kept moving his hands without even raising his eyelids: "White kidney beans!"

White kidney beans... Liu Yuan said "Oh", nodded, and said: "I don't recognize it!"

Of course people like Liu Sicheng, who could cook sour plum drink ingredients even if they were boiled, would not recognize white kidney beans! Tangyuan couldn't help but snicker: "I don't know, you'll know when Mu Shi eats the hoof flower soup!"

Although he was teased a lot by the glutinous rice dumpling girl, it was not in vain. At least he knew that the pig's trotters were originally used to make soup! Liu Yuan said "Oh", reluctantly withdrew his gaze, turned around and left the kitchen. He would also like to be like Ji Caimai, holding milk tea and watching Master Wen and others cooking, but... there is still a case in hand right now!

Mr. Xun's mission has almost been completed, and now he only needs to keep an eye on Mr. Yang! The spying was done by the guards, but they, the temple minister and Lin Shaoqing, were not idle. Instead, they opened the record book borrowed from the Qintian Prison to look for them to see auspicious days in the past few years.

Auspicious days naturally include auspicious events such as weddings, but it is not limited to that; many people come to ask Qin Tianjian to look at the so-called auspicious days for everything in the world, such as travel and outings, and even the funeral of the deceased.

They are currently scrolling through the "Auspicious Days for Funerals" that Qin Tianjian looks at, but not all "auspicious days for funerals" must be looked at. After all, 90% of the dignitaries in the entire Chang'an City will hire professional experts such as Qin Tianjian. From an official's perspective, searching for them is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"Jiang Yilian asked Qin Tianjian to watch several times, and specifically changed the time to midnight to single out the ones!" Lin Fei said.
