Chapter 162 Husband and Wife’s Lung Slices (1)
The braised duck sold very well yesterday, and we prepared twice as much quantity last night, but even with this quantity, it was sold out before noon.
Ji Caimai chewed on the duck clavicle in his hand and said to Wen Mingtang: "This braised duck product is so popular, I think it can be sold daily together with ice powder and sour plum drink."
Wen Mingtang nodded in agreement: "It's not difficult to make braised food. As long as the pot is big enough, you can make a lot at one time."
After talking about the duck stuff, Ji Caimai glanced at the big pot that was simmering in the public kitchen and asked Wen Mingtang: "Yesterday, I put all the things from the cow that I brought to the village into the stew. It doesn't look like stew." Soup, you said it's not a stewed dish, I guess it's a cold dish like chicken with saliva?"
After eating too much, he gained some experience. Ji Caimai's guess was pretty good. Wen Mingtang smiled and said, "It's a cold dish called husband and wife's lung slices."
It’s really a cold dish! Ji Caimai thought for a while and said, "Let's take a look first. In fact, I think cold dishes like saliva chicken are also good for takeout."
…
It takes an hour or two to get the stew out of the pot. Yu Jijiu, who came to pick up the duck, glanced at the stew that could not see any dishes in the pot, and hugged the big paper bag. The purchased duck products are back.
In the hot summer, eating braised duck, tea eggs and other things while digging into ice powder and drinking sour plum drink is one of the great pleasures in life! Even the anger aroused by those disobedient students can be suppressed immediately.
Yu Jijiu was quite comfortable here, but Wei Fu, who was checking the accounts before the case, looked even more frightened. At first glance, there is nothing wrong with this account book, but upon closer inspection, it is full of flaws. It is clearly a "fake account book". Even the account books are fake. What else can be investigated?
After going through all the account books on hand, Wei Fu couldn't sit still anymore, stood up immediately and went to see Lin Fei.
"Lin Shaoqing, there is something wrong with Prince Yu's account books!" Wei Fu walked in and said immediately, "A lot of money has gone missing. Now that it's summer, he actually has a large amount of money to buy 'Silver Charcoal'." Speaking of this, Wei Fu's expression became more solemn, "There are many more projects like this. This King Yu has a large amount of money and I don't know where it went."
After a pause, without waiting for Lin Fei to speak, Wei Fu continued: "King Yu's lineage is rich and prosperous. If we just talk about the money on hand, he is one of the best among the clans. I made a rough estimate, at least there are a few." One hundred thousand taels of silver have disappeared."
After listening calmly to Wei Fu's words, Lin Fei spoke: "I checked the account books of Princess Chao'an Mansion yesterday."
"There is also a large amount of money missing in that account book," Lin Fei said, closing the account book in hand and looking at Wei Fu, "Do you think it was a coincidence or not?"
What a coincidence! What a coincidence! Wei Fu looked solemn. A prince and a princess usually behave in a arrogant and extravagant manner. This kind of person is said to be a man who is greedy for pleasure. Even if there is a problem with the account book, it should be because the input of a large amount of money is unknown, instead of emptying the palace and the princess's palace and giving away the money.
With the personalities of these two people, would hundreds of thousands of taels of money be given away to do good deeds without leaving their name?
This is impossible! So where did the money go?
Lin Fei put the account book aside, stood up, and said, "We can go meet the consort!"
A prince-in-law who would "accidentally" reveal and hint at the princess's identity was naturally very "willing" to tell the princess's abnormality in detail.
The place where I met the Prince Consort this time was not at the Princess Mansion, but at a teahouse.
"She wasn't like this when she was young." The prince-in-law, who sat down in front of him, was still holding a teacup to "miss" the former princess as before. "I don't know how she can be like this now..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Wei Fu: "Fu Ma, just leave such things as missing in the princess's house. If you don't say anything secretly, we are here today to ask you whether the princess has been there all day long. What’s so unusual?”
Prince Consort Fu seemed to be startled when he heard the word "abnormal". Just when he was about to speak, he heard Lin Fei say: "If you have something to say, just say it directly. There is no need to beat around the bush. The matter of the princess being exchanged has been reported to the Holy One." , will definitely investigate closely!”
As soon as these words came out, Prince Consort Fu was stunned. When he came to his senses, he instinctively wanted to laugh, but when he saw Lin Fei and Wei Fu beside him, he immediately stopped the smile on his face and said: "The royal bloodline cannot be confused, I …”
"Okay, don't talk nonsense!" This person is really long-winded! Wei Fu rubbed his eyebrows and interrupted his nonsense, "I understand what you are going through. What we don't know is not that you prove that the princess is different from when she was a child, but..."
"You must know that after all the hard work to confuse the bloodline, there must be a purpose. We want to know what the purpose of these people is if the princess is replaced!"
Hearing this, Prince Consort Fu smiled coquettishly. After thinking seriously for a long time, she spoke: "She brought back more than twenty husbands in the house. Although she had fun with those husbands every day, she didn't care. Neither I nor those gentlemen have ever spent the night in her house." Consort Fu said, "She said she was a light sleeper and didn't like having people around, so she kicked us out together with the maids."
Falling asleep alone may be a light sleep, or it may be a desire to be alone after dark.
Wei Fu nodded, glanced at Lin Fei's eyes, and asked Fu Ma: "What else? Has she ever particularly liked any husband, whom she was very fond of?"
Hearing this, Prince Consort Fu thought seriously for a long time and said: "It has never happened in the past few years. It's all the same, like those playboys. There is a husband who died of illness without blinking an eyelid. But it happened a few years ago. She heard from those husbands that he was a talented man, so she was considerate enough to look for him every night, and then let him go before dawn. This was because she was afraid that his reputation would be damaged!"
To people like Princess Chaoan, this husband is really a "special" existence.
"What's your husband's name? Where is he now?" Wei Fu asked immediately after hearing this.
Prince Consort Fu shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Although I have met that gentleman, I don't know his name, nor do the princes in this mansion. I heard that the princess did this deliberately because she was afraid of hurting him." At this point , Prince Consort Fu paused for a moment, and then said, "But the man spoke well. Looking at the way his eyelids are on the top of his head, he seems to be proud of his talent and a bit arrogant..."
Before he finished speaking, Lin Fei took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, unfolded it, pointed at the portrait on the paper, and asked Prince Consort Fu: "Who is this husband?"
The young gentleman in the portrait is dressed as a scholar, with a handsome appearance, but his eyes are inexplicably arrogant.
After just one glance, Prince Consort Fu immediately exclaimed, pointed at the young master in the portrait, and said, "That's him!"
