Chapter 276 Sauerkraut and Beef Stew (2)

Sensing Wen Mingtang's gaze, Liang Hongjin glanced proudly at the doubtful glutinous rice balls on the side, raised the booklet in her hand, and said: "Xiao Mingtang, when I came just now, I saw that most of the people in Dali Temple had left. I went out to catch the bad guys, so I flipped through this book..."

Liang Hongjin said while flipping through the almost torn booklet in her hand: "Today is Laba, isn't it? Well, I remember it seems to be your mother's birthday!"

Wen Mingtang's eyes fell on the booklet in Liang Hongjin's hand and paused.

"This undisclosed book says that today is an auspicious day for moving tombs and opening altars!" Liang Hongjin said, "You Lin Shaoqing may have flipped through this book and went out to catch the evildoers..."

Tangyuan couldn't help but twitch her lips when she heard this, and quickly interrupted Liang Hongjin: "Girl General Liang, don't talk nonsense! How could we, Lin Shaoqing, go and catch evil people based on such a book?"

"That's right!" A Bing on the side saw Tang Yuan talking like this and hurriedly said, "If that's the case, why not look through this almanac that is not publicized when solving crimes? Wouldn't it be easiest to just rely on this to catch the bad guys? ?”

After hearing A Bing and Tangyuan's rebuttal, Liang Hongjin shook her head and said, "Do you still remember the day when Xiao Mingtang and I met those two bearded men?"

Seeing A Bing and Tangyuan looking at her, Liang Hongjin proudly said to Wen Mingtang: "Xiao Mingtang, do you still remember that I said I smelled the smell of blood on those two bearded men!"

Meeting A Bing and Tangyuan's gaze towards him, Wen Mingtang nodded and said, "General Liang did say this!"

With Wen Mingtang's proof, Liang Hongjin snorted, glanced at A Bing and Tangyuan, turned over the almanac in his hand, pointed to one of the pages, and said to the two of them: "Here, look, that one Above, what is written on this almanac?"

It is very bad and it is suitable to see blood.

Five big characters are listed!

Tang Yuan shuddered when he saw it, and trembled subconsciously, muttering: "I have never seen such a almanac before!" I don't know who made up such a scary almanac!

"So it's not spread out!" Liang Hongjin said, put away the almanac, made a face at everyone, and said, "You, Lin Shaoqing, catch the bad guys according to what is written on it, and I... just look at the zodiac above. It’s just an auspicious day, most people from Qin Tianjian will not conflict with it!”

Wen Mingtang glanced at the almanac that Liang Hongjin had put away, calmed down, and called Tangyuan and A Bing who were still in a daze back to their senses: "Continue cooking, it's getting late!"

Tang Yuan and A Bing then responded and continued to cook.

Liang Hongjin's attention was also drawn back by Wen Mingtang's voice, and she looked at the meat Wen Mingtang was cutting. The color was redder than the commonly seen pork and chicken, and it seemed to be beef!

Beef is something that is not often eaten in the public kitchen!

Liang Hongjin said "Yeah" and her eyes suddenly lit up: "It seems that I came at the right time today! Xiao Mingtang, you don't know what our public chef has eaten these days. A few pieces of sugary garlic and moldy tofu There are also some pickled vegetables to go with the rice-rice-water porridge, do you think it tastes good or not?"

Hearing Liang Hongjin's description of "rice is rice, water is water", the glutinous rice balls couldn't help but burst into laughter again: "It smells a bit like chewing wax! Ms. Liang, your public chef's cook has been boiling Have you run out of time to make porridge?”

There is almost no difficulty in making porridge. Just add water and rice and the rest is done! It was cooking on a low fire, and there was no need to worry about it. Not to mention the cook, even her father could cook it well. So what happened to the cook in the official kitchen of Ganzhiwei?

"The cook has given up his responsibility!" Liang Hongjin sighed with a hint of envy in her tone, "I heard that my uncle passed away and left behind tens of thousands of acres of land. His distant nephew became a The one who inherited it suddenly became a rich man from a cook, so naturally he quit!"

At this point, Liang Hongjin paused and then said: "To be honest, if I were him and suddenly became a rich man, I would just slap my ass and leave immediately, without being troubled by those in charge!"

"The former master inherited ten thousand acres of land and became a rich man. The latter master was said to have good skills and came from the land of Sichuan and Sichuan. In the end, everyone agreed, but halfway through he was poached to be the head of a certain prince's mansion. I'm a cook!" When Liang Hongjin said this, she touched her purse and her tone became even more sighing, "In the final analysis, it's still a matter of money!"

"It's just that the cooks in the Hou Mansion have more money," Tang Yuan didn't understand, "I can't say for sure about the princes, generals and ministers. How can I be safe in the yamen? My family has been a coachman in Dali Temple for several generations. !Although he is not rich and powerful, he has always been very safe, and now it has all been passed on to my father!"

Liang Hongjin thought for a while and said: "Perhaps the money given by the Marquis Mansion is generous! After all, the master also needs to eat. I heard that the wife of the Marquis Mansion prefers this dish, and there are many chefs in the capital who are good at cooking this kind of food. Not many, it’s rare to see one, he must have spent a lot of money!”

When Liang Hongjin said this, Wen Mingtang was excited. Thinking of the bowl of hot and sour noodles before, he suddenly knew where the poached chef of Ganzhiweigong had gone to "higher positions"!

"I don't know what happened. It was already agreed upon, and everyone was walking halfway with their baggage. When I heard that the master was hungry, he suddenly changed his mind while eating a bowl of wontons on the roadside!" Liang Hongjin from that compartment! He was still talking, obviously still a little concerned about the good public chef running away, "But now I don't know where the manager is going to find the chef who was hired by the public chef. Since he has no wages, he naturally has to fool him in any way!"

Fortunately, she helped Lin Shaoqing earlier, so she could come to Xiao Mingtang to have a toothpaste ceremony!

While talking, Wen Mingtang and others' dishes were ready. With a "sizzling" sound, garlic, ginger, pickled peppers and other auxiliary ingredients were mixed with oil. As the sauerkraut was added to the pot, a sour and tangy smell immediately filled the air. Come on.

Liang Hongjin rubbed her nose and smelled the alluring sour aroma. She swallowed subconsciously and sighed: "If the pickles are as appetizing as the pickles made by Xiao Mingtang, let me eat that rice." It’s not like I can’t eat gruel made from rice and water!”

Through the oil smoke, Wen Mingtang glanced at Liang Hongjin, who meant something, pursed his lips and said with a smile: "I still have two jars of pickled sauerkraut in the yard. After dinner, I asked you to take them back for a toothpaste ceremony!"

Liang Hongjin immediately laughed when she heard this: "I know Xiao Mingtang is the most generous!" After saying that, Wen Mingtang quickly poured the boiled broth into the fried sauerkraut, and then added mushrooms, qianzhang, While the cabbage was waiting for the side dishes, Liang Hongjin looked at the beef that had not been put into it. She said "Huh" and asked curiously: "Isn't meat food difficult to cook? Why don't you put it in first?"

When Ah Bing heard this, he picked up a piece of beef and pointed at the thin slice of beef that was faintly translucent. He said with pride in his tone: "It's cut very thin. It'll be cooked once it's boiled. There's no need to put it in first!"

It turned out to be a matter of good knife skills! Liang Hongjin was stunned, thought for a while, and then said: "Then the chef who was originally going to come to our Ganzhiwei public kitchen heard that his knife skills are also very good. If he hadn't been poached, he might still be able to learn from you!"
