Chapter 52 Shaomai
Before Li Ruizhi could speak again, Lin Fei took Liu Yuan out of the Dali Temple prison.
The moment he walked out of the Dali Temple prison, Lin Fei handed the file on the water ghost case back to Liu Yuan and said, "This case will be settled in a few days."
Liu Yuan, who took the file and held it in his arms, couldn't help but ask Lin Fei: "Since Li Ruizhi poisoned the Duke of Huai'an, it is already a capital crime. If he really killed Yan San and others, why not admit it?"
There is a saying that "when a person is about to die, his words are also kind." They have seen too many death row prisoners reveal all the evil things they have done before. Of course this does not mean that "what he said is good", but that it doesn't matter whether he shakes it out or not, it is a capital offense.
Liu Yuan felt that if Li Ruizhi really did it, he would just admit it. Why deny it?
"If you really admit it, Huang Ying and others have perjured themselves, and they will be implicated." Lin Fei said, raised his head, looked at the sky above his head, and said, "Second... Just wait a few more days, and I think it will happen. There are results."
…
…
The temporary intervention of internal affairs did make people a little unprepared, but Wen Mingtang felt that this should not be a big deal.
When I got up at the crowing of the rooster on the next day, the ingredients for the morning meal from the Internal Affairs Office had been delivered. Due to the temporary change, Ji Caimai, who was forced to get up early, also came over early to see the distributed ingredients.
Round dumpling skin, with some scattered vegetables and a small portion of pork.
The food is quite rich, but the presence of dumpling wrappers somewhat limits the types of food that can be eaten in the morning.
"I just had Chaoshou yesterday, and I went out to eat pot stickers in the evening." Ji Caimai looked at the pile of dumpling wrappers and said, "Here are the dumpling wrappers..."
"Then don't make pot stickers or dumplings," Wen Mingtang understood what Ji Caimai said and said with a smile, "Let's make something else!"
The methods of eating are similar, and everyone knows everything. There are so many different ways to make dumpling wrappers, and they may be used to make dumplings, pot stickers, etc.
After hearing Wen Mingtang's words, Ji Caimai immediately became interested in the breakfast that Wen Mingtang was going to prepare. He followed her to the public kitchen with a pot of tea, then found a table to sit down and watched Wen Mingtang prepare the breakfast with great interest.
After the washed glutinous rice was steamed in the pot, Wen Mingtang began to deal with other ingredients.
She selected pork meat, carrots, peas and soaked mushrooms, and then chopped all the ingredients except the peas into cubes.
Then, he began to process the dumpling wrappers sent by the Internal Affairs Yamen. He used a rolling pin to roll the dumpling wrappers into a larger circle, and then rolled out wrinkles on the edges.
After a demonstration, Ah Bing and Ah Bing started rolling the glutinous rice balls.
A few people talked while working. When the dumpling wrappers were almost rolled out, the pot of glutinous rice was also steamed.
Wen Mingtang put the dumpling wrappers aside and started making breakfast.
Ji Caimai only saw her scooping some dolphin oil into the pan, adding a handful of minced onion and ginger and diced pork meat, and stir-frying it. When the diced pork changed color, she added carrots, peas, and diced mushrooms, and stir-fried a few more times. , pour in the sauce, salt, five-spice powder and pig fat and other seasonings, and finally add the steamed glutinous rice, mix well, and put it aside.
Ji Caimai looked at it with great interest. He pointed at the brown glutinous rice and said, "This reminds me of the fresh meat rice dumplings at the Dragon Boat Festival, only yours looks richer."
When these ingredients are mixed together, it won’t taste bad if you think about it.
Ji Caimai watched as the girl scooped a spoonful of glutinous rice filling into it, then squeezed it with the mouth of a tiger like a purse, and a small purse-like snack was ready. Especially the circle of folds is like a small lucky bag during the New Year. The folded "lucky bag mouth" reveals the brown glutinous rice, mixed with diced carrots, peas, and diced mushrooms. It is so small and cute.
"What's the name of this thing?" Ji Caimai couldn't help but ask as he watched Wen Mingtang put the wrapped snacks on the steamer.
The cute and cute Chi Shi doesn't just like girls, why can't a man as old as him also like her?
"Shaomai." Wen Mingtang said with a smile, "It's delicious and filling. The most important thing is that it is completely different from things like hand-cooked rice noodles, pot stickers, and dumplings, so Ji Caimai won't eat too much."
Speaking of the issue of "heavy meals", Wen Mingtang looked at the new rules posted on the wall and set by the Internal Affairs Yamen.
You cannot eat the same food within three days. Violators will be penalized once and will be dismissed after enough times.
"Is the Internal Affairs Office trying to catch the idle master?" Wen Mingtang asked, looking at the posted rules.
Ji Caimai rubbed his chin and said frankly: "It's so sudden! Even 80% of the people in the Internal Affairs Office don't know what's going on. I always feel it's a little weird."
but……
"No matter how strange it is, it has nothing to do with you. With your skills here, there is no need to worry." Ji Caimai said.
When the steamed shaomai was put into the pot, Ji Caimai took three shaomai and put them on a plate, walked to the food table in the lobby and started eating.
The steamed shaomai that had just come out of the pot was still steaming on top. After blowing on it for a while, Ji Caimai took a bite. The skin is soft yet hard, and the glutinous rice inside is mixed with pork meat, diced carrots, peas, mushrooms, etc. The aroma of soy sauce mixed with the aroma of dolphin oil really adds a lot of color. The inside is salty, fresh and soft. Ji Caimai became addicted after just one bite, nodding his head in praise.
Tang Yuan and Ah Bing are no exception, but these glutinous rice dishes are very filling, and they will be a bit full after eating two or three of them. Ji Caimai, Ah Bing, and Tang Yuan also specifically asked Wen Mingtang for two or three to take back and steam them later. It is ready to eat as soon as the pot is hot.
Master Wen’s craftsmanship never disappoints! Liu Yuan, who had received three shaomai, did not sit down in the public kitchen hall. He had eaten a lot of breakfast in the past two days, and most of the seats in the public kitchen hall were occupied.
Both the handymen and Bai Zhu had publicized the food that Gai Yin had eaten. In this way, it spread from ten to ten, and from ten to ten, more and more people knew that Master Wen's delicious food was cooked in the morning, and they also liked Master Sun. Master Wang is becoming more and more dissatisfied.
Look! They both have the same public chef, and Master Wen's cooking is so delicious. How did these two people end up like this?
I carried the shaomai and ate it while walking. The glutinous rice, diced pork meat, diced mushrooms and other items wrapped in pork fat were not only not greasy, but fragrant.
By the time the three Shaomai were finished, people were already standing at the door of Lin Shaoqing's house. Liu Yuan burped. This siomai was good everywhere, but it was too filling. It was not good to be full after eating a few.
If his stomach hadn't allowed him to do so, he could have eaten another four, five, six, seven or eight.
Wiping his mouth, he knocked on the door and entered the house. Lin Fei inside had just finished eating the siomai and put the empty plate aside. Seeing him come in, he picked up a storybook from the table and handed it over.
What to do? Liu Yuan was puzzled, but subconsciously stretched out his hand and took the script handed over by Lin Fei.
If you get it, there are three words "Resurrection Pavilion" written on the cover of the book.
What is Lin Shaoqing doing? He has already seen "Resurrection Pavilion"! Liu Yuanxin said.
