Chapter 258 Popcorn (1)

"He is really a sinister villain!" After listening to Lin Fei's dictation of the conversation between the Yang family's husband and the two vendors, Liu Yuan couldn't help but sigh, "Fortunately, Mr. Xun was replaced, otherwise... tsk tsk!"

It may be good to let Xunzhou debate academic articles with others, but if he gets involved in such things, he may be swallowed up by others as soon as he gets in. Not even the dregs will be left.

When Bai Zhu heard his sigh, he glanced at Liu Yuan and said, "Although Yang is a bait, he is a special bait! Those murderers are not kind people. It is a strange thing for him to escape unscathed!"

If it's just an ordinary bait, no matter how insidious he is, if he encounters such a murderer, he will be chopped into pieces with a knife! But the murderer showed mercy to the person surnamed Yang. It was an extremely weird thing to let him trade Miss Chang for Miss Huang San.

"This villain must be able to hold those murderers in his hands!" Liu Yuan thought for a moment and rubbed his chin, "So much so that those murderers would go easy on him!"

As soon as these words came out, Bai Zhu immediately nodded and said: "I think so too! But I don't know how this villain got the handle on those murderers?"

These murderers have been doing evil for so many years, how could they easily let a villain named Yang get the handle?

Just as he was thinking this, Lin Fei, who was standing by the window and watching the market with his clairvoyance, said, "We might as well check out Mr. Yang who fell into the river and drowned!"

Back then, Mr. Yang was overjoyed after settling the Chang family's marriage. He drank so much that he lost his footing and drowned in the river in the middle of the night. No one noticed him.

All these things seem to be fine together. The only problem from the outside is that it is such a coincidence that it is impossible to say whether the Chang family's marriage is resolved or not.

"Mr. Yang's cloth shop business suddenly took off, and it got better and better. But after his death, the cloth shop business quickly declined. Maybe it was because Yang's mother was really not good at running it," Lin Fei said, "They failed so quickly that they couldn't even keep an old business! Even if Mother Yang's management was really bad, she was still a person who knew how to show weakness and asked someone to take care of the business of their orphan and widowed mother. It was pity for her. It’s not a difficult thing! The Yang family’s business wouldn’t have failed so quickly!”

Of course, the mother and son of the Yang family are not good people, but they are very good at showing weakness to gain advantage. Otherwise, they would not have been able to make so many years of money from the Chang family.

The Yang family’s affairs must be investigated, and so must the murderer behind the scenes! Looking at the porcelain vendors and the husband of the Yang family who were closing their stalls in the market ahead, Lin Fei closed his clairvoyance, turned and walked out the door: "There is no need to come here to keep an eye on me anymore!"

Since those murderers want to retreat, they will no longer come to the market to collect "bait".

Because they left early, it was only Shenshi when they returned to Dali Temple.

Liu Yuan looked at the sky: It was quite embarrassing at this time. It was still early before the evening meal. It was the right time to buy another snack to fill his stomach.

But...looking at the officials and servants working in the lobby, almost everyone had paper bags in their hands and on their desks: either millet rice crispy rice or sugar-fried chestnuts, or both.

If I go to the public kitchen at this hour, I don’t know if there are any snacks available! Liu Yuan, who was too lazy to make the trip in vain, stopped a passing servant and asked casually: "Is there any snack left in the public kitchen?"

The officer who was eating millet rice dumplings shook his head, pointed in the direction of the Imperial College, and said: "Today, a group of students rushed over there, like hungry wolf cubs, and bought up all the snacks in the public kitchen!" Here, the officer took a breath of cold air, looking a bit frightened, "Even the braised duck that goes with the wine has been taken away, not even a bone... not even a bone is left!"

The students who came suddenly really scared the people in Dali Temple!

Although I was the same age as those students, I was the age when I was growing up and I was most likely to get hungry. I would feel hungry before eating several large bowls of rice.

But the posture of that group of students was really amazing! He has always had the habit of going to the Yamen to drink some wine, so he always likes to buy some braised duck after dinner to go back to serve with wine and food. Who knows that today he can't even buy food with wine!

As for how those students knew that the Dali Temple Public Kitchen sold delicious snacks...

"Yu Jijiu rewarded those students with milk tea and millet crispy rice. Do you remember Liu Sicheng?" When the officer said this, he couldn't help but twitching his lips, "The students liked the milk tea and millet crispy rice very much. They have been asking about it for a long time. I just found out the source from a teaching doctor who was not so tight-lipped, so I came over to grab it when get out of class was over!"

Unexpectedly, students would run out to grab snacks in the middle of the meal, and the chef was caught off guard.

Facing the empty countertop, Ji Caimai sighed, stood up and left the takeout stall.

All the snacks in the stall have been taken away, why are you still sitting there?

Business is good and there is a lot of money in the pocket, which is of course a good thing, but... Ji Caimai, who took a sip of the wolfberry water in his hand and felt that the water in his mouth was very light, clicked his tongue and said: "I originally meant to He left some snacks for us, but..."

If those students saw it, how could it be left to them? It is only right to snatch them all away!

Ah Bing and Tangyuan rubbed their hungry stomachs and looked at Wen Mingtang who was thoughtfully looking at the empty countertop.

"Master Wen, do you have any other snacks to fill your stomach? I'm hungry!"

Those students are not the only ones in the long body, they are too!

Before Wen Mingtang could speak, he heard a voice coming from outside the kitchen.

"Yes, Master Wen! Is there any snack to fill my stomach? I'm very hungry!" Liu Yuan said, walking in from outside with Bai Zhu and Lin Fei!

Wen Mingtang looked at the eyes of everyone looking at her, twitched the corner of her mouth, thought for a while, and said to A Bing: "I remember there is some corn left in the warehouse, go get it!"

corn? When Liu Yuan heard this, he felt a little disappointed: "Master Wen, will you cook corn for me to eat?"

It’s not that he hates eating corn, but what he wants to eat right now is a snack, not a staple food like corn!

Although he didn't say it directly, how could Wen Mingtang not see Liu Yuan's disappointed look? She shook her head and said: "It's not about burning corn to eat, but making it as a snack!" Then she said to the glutinous rice balls beside her, "I made something called butter from milk a few days ago and put it in the ice cellar. Here, help me get it too!"

When Tang Yuan heard that he was going to use the butter that smelled rich in frankincense, he immediately responded happily, turned around, asked Ji Caimai for the key, and ran to the ice cellar.

After Ah Bing and Tangyuan left to get the ingredients, Liu Yuan, who couldn't help it, asked Wen Mingtang: "So what are the snacks that Master Wen makes? It uses corn, and what kind of milk or something called butter is used to make it?" ?”

Wen Mingtang didn't show off, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, make a snack called popcorn! It's very fast, you can eat it soon!"
