Chapter 205 Pearl Meatballs (1)

Things become easier when you have a place to go. If there is any problem with the whereabouts of datura flowers in any drug store, people can be invited to Dali Temple for questioning.

Glancing at the excited Liu Yuan, Lin Fei said: "I'll leave this matter to you!"

When Liu Yuan heard the words, he immediately responded. When he saw Lin Fei waving, he turned around and went out to do things without talking nonsense.

After Liu Yuan left, Lin Fei looked at Bai Zhu who was standing there and said, "There is one more thing you need to check..."

…

Wen Mingtang and others did not know that there was something wrong with the floral fragrance at this time, and they almost suffered a disaster. If they didn't want to bump into the masks on the streets that day, a few people took them off after wearing them for a while. The little lady who was afraid of losing them would have added two more masks.

Wen Mingtang and others didn't know, but Xunzhou, who had never attended the lantern festival, knew.

Looking at the pale Xunzhou across from him, Lin Fei said: "With people like this here, the ladies in Chang'an City may not even dare to go out in peace!"

Xunzhou murmured: "If this is really the case, how can I really face my mentor? By the way, does Sister Mingtang know about this?"

Lin Fei said: "She doesn't know yet." Although she didn't know, she could guess something from their questioning about her mask.

When he heard that Wen Mingtang didn't know yet, Xunzhou breathed a sigh of relief, reached out and patted his chest, and sighed: "That's okay, I'd better not tell her about this, so as not to scare her!"

Lin Fei glanced at Xunzhou: Scared her? Does this person have any misunderstanding about his sister Mingtang?

However, looking at Xunzhou's slightly pale face, Lin Fei thought for a while and said "hmm", thinking not to scare this guy.

"So these people must be caught as soon as possible!" Xunzhou sighed for a moment and said seriously to Lin Fei, "Lin Shaoqing, Xun will definitely try his best to cooperate in this matter and vow to catch that bad guy!"

Lin Fei looked at Xunzhou who was gearing up and nodded: "I will arrange an identity for you in the near future. Don't worry, I will send someone to follow you later!"

"What do I have to be afraid of as a man?" Xunzhou heard this and immediately said: "I'm sure I can play this identity well and I won't show any flaws before catching the bad guy!"

Is it? Lin Fei glanced at Xunzhou without comment.

In fact, this matter only requires Xunzhou to show his face, they will do the rest, but there is no need to be so brave!

…

Putting the prepared lunch into the lunch box, Wen Mingtang took out the money from his purse and handed it over.

Now that the takeout stall is open, even if they want to bring some food, they will have to spend money.

Looking at the lunch in Wen Mingtang's lunch box, Ji Caimai took the money, recorded the account, raised his head and asked Wen Mingtang: "Going out to meet friends?"

The disappearance of the young lady is still under investigation, and Master Wen always makes people a little uneasy when he goes out alone.

"I'm going to see Liang Hongjin!" Wen Mingtang said "yes" and said, "Today is her birthday!"

When he heard it was Liang Hongjin, Ji Caimai nodded and said: "Let's go! Take the main road, don't go around the side roads, go early and come back early!"

Although the Liang general is a woman, she can defeat several men with her fists, so there is no need to worry about her safety.

Wen Mingtang thanked Ji Caimai for his concern, said hello to Tangyuan and A Bing and left Dali Temple.

The road from Dali Temple to Tongming Gate was all the way. After waiting for a while outside Tongming Gate, Liang Hongjin, with a sweat towel around his neck, came out with a black-faced Ganzhiwei.

The black-faced guard drooped his head and nodded as he walked behind Liang Hongjin, as if he was being scolded.

When he got closer, Wen Mingtang finally heard clearly what Liang Hongjin said.

"That's a lot of money. How many years have you been saving it?"

The black-faced Ganzhiwei drooped his head, but he still said honestly: "It's been almost five years!"

"Five years of silver have been given to such a liar in vain. If you don't feel sorry for me, I still feel sorry for you!" Liang Hongjin reached out and nodded his head, cursing, "How many delicious foods can I buy with that much silver? How many precious knives can I buy?" Already?"

The black-faced Ganzhiwei said with a bitter face: "What should we do? The liar has already spent the money..."

I really can’t catch you back!

Liang Hongjin jumped angrily: "My little lady has a childhood sweetheart in her hometown, don't think about it! What do you really mean by this? You lost your money and lost your wife!"

The scolding made the black-faced guard almost cry.

It wasn't until he looked up and saw Wen Mingtang that Liang Hongjin waved her hand and asked the black-faced guard to go back.

Wen Mingtang looked at the unlucky deceived Ganzhiwei and shook his head. He stepped forward and handed the food box in his hand to Liang Hongjin: "I know that you will celebrate your birthday with Zhao Sishan in the palace tonight, so let me let you go during the day." give it to me!"

It's daytime and night time again, and it sounds like Liang Hongjin is quite popular, so popular! Liang Hongjin's face turned red and she coughed dryly: "That's okay!" As she said that, she couldn't help but reached out to lift the lid of the food box and took a peek, "What delicious food did you bring to me today?"

Wen Mingtang said: "Pearl meatballs!"

…

…

It was another day when Master Wen went out to do errands, leaving only Ah Bing and Tangyuan.

However, even though the chef is out, the lunch dishes will not drop off.

One by one, Yuxue's cute meatballs were placed on the steaming plate, and the steamer basket was taken down from the steamer and delivered to everyone's hands.

After just one glance, Yu Jijiu couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder it's called Pearl Balls!"

The glutinous rice tightly wrapped around the pork meatballs absorbs the salty aroma and gravy of the pork meat. After cooking, the originally crystal clear glutinous rice seems to be glowing with a layer of light. Isn't it like the rice pearls?

The pearl meatballs covered in jade snow are already pretty enough. Chef Pianwen also garnished them with two red wolfberries and sprinkled some green onions around them.

The three colors of white, red and green are shining, which actually brings out the artistic conception of spring and snow in this meat dish.

"It will definitely be eye-catching at the banquet!" Yu Jijiu commented, and after sitting down, he couldn't wait to pick up a pearl meatball with his chopsticks.

The outer layer of glutinous rice that has absorbed the meat juice has an indescribable umami flavor, and the inner layer of pork meat is just right. The chopsticks holding the pearl balls are only slightly pinched, and you can see the juice overflowing without squeezing hard.

The pork meat is firm but not sticky, just right, but more than that. After one bite, the tender and chewy pork meat is mixed with some extremely crispy water chestnuts, which immediately reduces the greasy taste of the pork meat. In this way, from the outside to the inside, the taste progresses layer by layer. Unknowingly, one has been eaten, and Yu Jijiu immediately reaches out his chopsticks to pick up the second one.

…

Liang Hongjin, who sat down with Wen Mingtang, was also eating the pearl meatballs in the food box. Needless to say, the water chestnut meat was delicious, but compared to this, Liang Hongjin simply loved the outer layer. The glutinous rice has absorbed the meat juice, and I feel that the outermost layer of glutinous rice is the soul inside.

Wen Mingtang watched with a smile as Liang Hongjin stuffed the pearl balls into her mouth one by one. After finishing the plate of pearl balls, Liang Hongjin touched her belly and said, "I've padded my belly a little, and it feels really good." That's great! Xiao Mingtang, where are we going?"

Wen Mingtang stood up with a smile and said, "Go get your birthday gift."
