Chapter 286 Boneless Chicken Tenders (5)
Lin Fei was not just talking nonsense.
"On the day of my grandfather's birthday party, all the guests had stomach discomfort after returning!" Lin Fei said, "The severity of the situation varies."
When a situation like this occurs, the cook is the first to suffer and be questioned. Especially on the day of the Grand Duke's birthday banquet, most of the guests were very popular, and the news was quickly spread back to the Duke's Mansion.
However, since most of the people at the Grand Duke's birthday banquet came to make friends, there were only a few who came just for food. Since most people didn't eat much, there was no serious problem. Occasionally, there were a few people who ate more, but they only had stomach upsets for a day and a half, and overall it didn't cause any serious trouble.
The cook who was suspected of cooking problems was taken to the Duke's Mansion for questioning. Especially the cook named Xing was still a newcomer, and the handymen and maids who were helping him were all old people. After so many years of doing this without any incident, but something happened as soon as he came here, why didn't he doubt who he suspected? Chef Xing was unable to defend himself and was almost sent to the government by the angry Duke.
Fortunately, things like this happened. Which yamen in the world is more suitable to take over than Dali Temple? Such a big young minister from Dali Temple is not just a decoration there!
"I heard that there are quite a few people who have stomach problems these days," Lin Fei said, looking at Liu Yuan and said, "After all, it is my grandfather's birthday party, so naturally everyone in our house has been affected. The doctor who was called said this I've been to several mansions in the past few days to deal with stomach problems, and there are quite a few cooks who have suffered from this."
When Liu Yuan heard this, he glanced at Lin Fei subconsciously, admiring him: Shangfeng is worthy of being a Shangfeng. He is still busy investigating the case when he is upset. He is really a role model for everyone in Dali Temple...
Although Liu Yuan didn't say anything, Lin Fei seemed to have guessed it with Liu Yuan's eyes. He was silent, glanced at Liu Yuan, moved his lips, and explained: "I like the food cooked by Master Wen very much."
Because he liked Wen Mingtang's cooking, on the day of the Duke's birthday banquet, Lin Fei only drank some wine and ate a few dried fruits from the dried fruit plate. The main course of the dinner was ordered to be picked up from the Dali Temple's public kitchen. Going back and forth to the yard for food.
There was nothing wrong with the food from the public chef, so it was fine for him to eat it, but everyone else in the house suffered, and they all had stomach upsets to varying degrees!
Although the symptoms of stomach upset vary from person to person, they are generally related to the amount of food eaten at the banquet. Obviously, the problem should be caused by the food.
If it was the cook who had done something, with so many mansions and so many people getting upset at the same time, the suspicion of the cook should be eliminated.
"There should be a problem with the purchase of ingredients," Lin Fei said. "Such a thing has never happened in the Yamen public kitchen. It can be seen that there is no problem with the ingredients in the Yamen Zhuangzi."
In this way...
"Because there had been problems with unclean ingredients at the market before, most of the dishes for our chef Xing's birthday banquet were bought at Zhuangzi, and only a few dishes were purchased at short notice for freshness. ," Lin Fei said, pulling out the paper that was pressed down by the inkstone on the table, clicking on the dishes listed on it, and said, "These are the last few dishes that were purchased temporarily! "
It not only lists the dishes, but also clearly states where the ingredients used in the dishes were purchased.
Holding the bamboo skewer in his hand, Lin Fei once again forked a piece of chicken fillet wrapped in oil paper and put it into his mouth. The air was filled with a strong fragrance of spices, but it was a little more pungent than the fragrance in the lobby. of spiciness.
Glancing at the red chili powder on the chicken fillet, Liu Yuan once again sighed in his heart, "As expected of Lin Shaoqing."
Boneless chicken fillet has been very popular these days, and they knew they had to start queuing up early. The students were also smart and adaptable, knowing that they would send people over early to "occupy a seat" to take over.
As a result, every afternoon is like a "war". If you arrive late, you won't be able to buy snacks.
Because it is "unavailable", those who buy chicken tenders dare not let the boneless chicken tenders leave their eyes. After all, as soon as they leave their eyes, there will be colleagues with "sharp eyes and quick hands" licking their faces and removing the package of boneless chicken tenders in front of them. The bone chicken fillet was snatched away!
But he dared to guarantee that no one would snatch the package of "boneless chicken fillet" in Lin Shaoqing's hands. After all, ordinary people couldn't handle the spiciness!
Lin Fei slowly crossed the package of "boneless chicken tenders" in his hand and said to Liu Yuan: "Wei Fu hasn't been here for a few days, so it's time to go and visit!"
Although the reason for visiting Wei Fu and the others was "the drunkard's intention is not to drink", I guess Wei Fu could tell when he saw Wei Fu, but after all, it was the New Year's Eve, so it would not be a good idea to go and see Wei Fu empty-handed.
Normally, they would have gone to see Wei Fu as a "door-to-door gift" to buy some food or ingredients as a guest. But now, thinking that the culprit of the stomachache has not yet been found, they thought for a while and decided to just get the materials nearby. , directly brought the food from the public chef.
Ji Caimai, a takeout stall, has become increasingly popular, and recently launched a takeout "snack gift box".
Ji Caimai, Wen Mingtang and others have good taste, which can be seen from the wooden box of the Mid-Autumn Festival gift box that is not inferior to that of a big restaurant outside.
This "snack gift box" is to put all the snacks sold at the takeout stall into a wooden box. Of course, this packaging is much better than the usual "scattered packaging", and there are also other items on the outside of the wooden box. The five characters "Dali Temple's public chef" are carved into a seal and are engraved directly in the middle of the gift box.
Although the students grabbed snacks, not many bought gift boxes directly. This is not to say that students have no money, after all, the price of the public kitchen gift box is not expensive! It’s just that the daily snacks are gone in the stomach, and no “evidence” is left. But if you buy this gift box, it would be a pity to just throw it away. If you take the gift box back, you will leave the snacks. The evidence is there. At that time, the family may ask around and ask why they ate so many snacks, but the chef in the Imperial Kitchen is not very good at cooking, so it will be troublesome and laborious to explain!
Therefore, although the snacks had already been sold out, there were still "gift boxes". Liu Yuan and others went to the public kitchen, bought gift boxes, and chatted with a few people while Wen Mingtang and others were packing the snacks.
Since we were going to see Wei Fu this time, the topic naturally turned around to the stomach upsets that many people in the city had been having recently.
Ji Caimai didn't even raise his eyelids when he heard this, and said straightly: "Just go to the market to investigate this matter. It's not difficult to think about, but it's just trouble! Those vendors in the market are most afraid of getting into trouble with lawsuits, so they will all I don’t know about shirk. After all, one less day of working at the stall means one less day of money earned. These vendors are no more powerful than those wealthy households, nor are they more powerful than those with proprietors and proprietors. They earn one day less money than ordinary people. Maybe the whole family will have to drink northwest food. Damn it, how dare you waste a day carelessly?" At this point, Ji Caimai shook his head, "I'm afraid some of the officers who went to ask questions are busy, and they might be expelled by the vendors collectively because they are a nuisance!"
The powerful people in the court have their own means of dealing with the powerful people in the court, and the common people also have their own special ways of interacting with each other. Compared with the complicated and complicated ways for the powerful people to get along, they can't make much concessions.
