Chapter 83 Shredded Chicken Cold Noodles (2)
As Xu o'clock approached, Wen Mingtang and Shuangxi appeared at the entrance of Third Street and Nine Alleys, each carrying a food box and following Li Yuan.
There was no need to ask, as soon as he saw the house surrounded by the guards, he knew where Lin Fei and his party were.
Li Yuan walked over with Shuangxi and Wen Mingtang. Before they reached the front of the house, Zhao You stretched out his hand to block his way.
"Go aside! Don't cause trouble for the little prince, he is busy investigating the case!" Zhao You said.
Li Yuan glared at him, and paused for a moment on Zhao You's open arms and legs. Thinking of the situation when he was captured by him and taken back to the Dali Temple prison, his steps slowed down: A good man will not suffer the consequences in front of him! He did not move forward, but instead shouted into the room: "Lin Fei, I have brought you the evening food, come out to eat the evening food!"
As soon as he said these words, Zhao You's eyes fell on Wen Mingtang behind Li Yuan... On the food box in his hand, his stomach grumbled in response to the situation.
Master Wen is here with a food box! Is it filled with today's twilight food? He hasn't eaten the evening meal yet!
The servant who came over after hearing about the evening meal said that the chef's evening meal today was called cold noodles with shredded chicken. It was lighter than yesterday's pickled fish with pickled vegetables, but it was still delicious!
There was a moment of silence in the room, and Lin Fei walked out with Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu.
Glancing at Li Yuan, whose eyes were wandering and looking around, Lin Fei took off the gloves he was sewing and handed them into the hands of a nearby servant, then crossed the crowd and walked to Wen Mingtang, who was carrying a food box.
Wen Mingtang understood immediately, opened the food box and said, "Pour the sauce on the noodles, mix well and eat."
Lin Fei nodded and took away a portion of cold shredded chicken noodles.
Seeing Lin Fei bring the cold noodles with shredded chicken to eat, Zhao You and others, who were already hungry and had their chests pressed against their backs, hurried forward and quickly took away the cold noodles with shredded chicken from Wen Mingtang and Shuangxi's food box.
After mixing it for a while, I walked to the street corner, squatted down, and started eating the evening meal.
To be fair, this scene is actually not uncommon. There are many ordinary people eating dinner on the street corner with their rice bowls in their hands. At the entrance of another alley not far away, there are a few men squatting and eating while chatting!
But Liu Yuan and others had never done this kind of thing before. They looked around a little unaccustomedly, and saw that Lin Fei had squatted down with a noodle bowl, and he was stunned when the corner of his crimson official robe touched the ground. If he didn't realize it, he also paused, used chopsticks to mix the noodles and vegetables in the bowl, covered them with the burnt brown sauce, and started eating.
Lin Fei ate quite gracefully. After the bowl of shredded chicken cold noodles with rich sesame and soy sauce aroma was spread evenly, Liu Yuan couldn't help but start to swallow.
There is a saying when eating that "everything is best eaten while it's hot." As the name suggests, when food is hot, its taste and aroma are most intense.
He has eaten cold noodles before. Although it is the turn of spring and summer, eating this kind of food saves you the trouble of sweating when eating, and makes it a little more refreshing, but at the expense of the heat of the mouthful when it is hot. At the expense of aroma.
Master Ke Wen's bowl of cold noodles spreads evenly with the aroma of sauce. The strong aroma of sesame, oil, scallion oil and sauce are intertwined and exuded. Although it is cold noodles, it is not inferior to the aroma of hot food. .
The cold noodles wrapped in the sauce are brought into the mouth. They are smooth and chewy. The cucumber shreds are crisp and clear, the carrot shreds have a bit of sweetness when chewed carefully, and the soybean sprouts are refreshing and rich. All the side dishes are quite chewy. It has a crispy texture, and the shredded chicken mixed in adds a bit of delicate toughness to the crispy texture. The sesame sauce has a salty and sweet flavor, mixed with whole sesame seeds and ground peanuts, giving it a more grainy feel. It even has a hint of scallion oil that everyone loves.
Liu Yuan was eating the cold noodles with a strong salty, sweet and sesame flavor. From the corner of his eye, he glanced at the bowl in Lin Fei's hand. When he saw the red sauce in his bowl, he suddenly paused and turned around. Surprisingly, every bowl of cold noodles seems to be changed according to their taste.
Lin Shaoqing's bowl had a large spoonful of oily and spicy flavor. Bai Zhu's food on the side was not as spicy as Lin Shaoqing's, but better than them, so he added half a spoonful of it, and the rest he, Li Yuan, Shuangxi and Zhao You had It’s not spicy.
Master Wen is really attentive! Not long after he came to the public kitchen, he had mastered people's tastes. How could he be like Master Sun and Master Wang? Liu Yuan's face turned green when he thought of the fried pork that was poured into the lunch dish like chili pepper for free.
In the past, the public kitchen didn't use chili pepper very much. Master Zi Wen came and used it more. The two were jealous when they saw it, so they secretly learned it. As a result, they didn't look like it. It was spicy but not fragrant. What's the use?
After putting the last chopstick of cold noodles in the bowl into his mouth, Liu Yuan sipped the remaining sauce aroma on the chopsticks, put the bowl and chopsticks into the food box with unfinished thoughts, stood up and burped.
When your stomach is full, you can continue to work.
Wen Mingtang took away the bowls and chopsticks, put them in the food box, and prepared to leave with the food box on his shoulder.
On the other side, Li Yuan, who was full and started to pick his teeth, stopped her again and said, "You want to leave now? You're already here, let's take a look before talking!"
Wen Mingtang said: "The dead are the most important, what's so good about this?"
Li Yuan: "..." He said he didn't respect the dead, but he didn't. He didn't come here just for...
After thinking about this, Li Yuan quickly looked at Lin Fei who was about to re-enter the room, stopped him and asked: "Lin Fei, the case at Brother Zhao's house has not been closed yet?"
Lin Fei turned around and said "Hmm", pointed to the room, and said: "Two veterans who saved his family back then are dead."
Li Yuan choked and fell silent, saying, "That's a lifesaver, but we can't ignore it. Who killed these two people?"
Lin Fei looked at Li Yuan who was looking at him with curiosity. After a moment of silence, he suddenly said: "Then you have to ask Brother Zhao!"
These words... Li Yuan was shocked when he heard this, and his expression changed immediately: "What do you mean? Is it possible that Brother Zhao will kill the savior who saved him and his family?"
Compared to Li Yuan's excitement, Lin Fei's face was calm. He looked at Li Yuan in front of him quietly and said coldly: "If it weren't for it being late today, I would have gone to the palace to face the emperor and hold the Huaishan County Prince and his family accountable. Got it!"
As soon as these words came out, Li Yuan felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He was stunned on the spot. He looked at Lin Fei in front of him in disbelief: "You...what did you say?"
If the Huaishan County Prince and his family had not committed a huge mistake, why would they have entered the palace to meet the saint?
But once he met the saint and took away his clan status, it was still light to be demoted to a commoner. Especially looking at Lin Fei's face, Li Yuan always felt like a storm was coming.
"I...I don't believe it." Li Yuan murmured and looked at Lin Fei. After a pause, he shouted again at the top of his voice, "I don't believe it. I'll ask Brother Zhao." Then he turned around and rushed out.
Shuangxi saw this and quickly followed.
After Li Yuan ran out, Lin Fei turned around and looked at Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu, who were standing there looking at them with confused expressions, and said: "Be prepared, tonight... I'm afraid There is a tough battle to be fought.”
