Fortunately, Xue's gourd soup restaurant focuses on affordable dishes, and the demand for seafood is not large, and the daily customer flow has not been affected, and Xue Ying is too lazy to worry about Liang Yongnian.That night, the business rush had just passed, Xue Ying had just sent off a large table of guests, and was about to sit down and rest for a while, but saw several people dressed as officials come in.The first person asked Xue Ying: "You are Xue Niangzi?"
”Xue Ying saw that they didn't look good, thinking that they were intentionally coming to make trouble, and asked in a deep voice: "Exactly, dare to ask what the guest officer is called?"
”The man at the head said coldly: "No, Wang Zhao, now he is the supervisor of the Metropolitan Commercial Tax Institute, and someone reported that the Xue family's soup shop was selling private wine, and someone was specially brought to search." ”It seems that Liang Yongnian is determined to fight himself to the end.Xue Ying's heart sank, and she hurriedly said: "Supervisor Wang, the concubine is really wronged.The two kinds of liquor sold in the gourd soup shop, Mei Shou and Hezhi, are all purchased from Fengle Building, so how can they say that they are sold as moonshine wines?
”Wang Zhao sneered: "But the whistleblower said that Xue Niangzi also secretly brewed jade ice for sale.Whether the report is true or not, we will find out by checking. ”He turned his head and ordered the little official on the side and said, "You go and search for me, don't let go of every corner of the store." ”When the diners in the restaurant saw the government coming, they were afraid that they would harm themselves, and most of them were scattered.There were a few diners who had a good relationship with Xue Ying and came forward to help her and Wang Zhao.It's just that Wang Zhaoli ignored it, and the officials used the search as an excuse to make the store jump, and the tables and chairs were also damaged.However, at the time of a stick of incense, a small official took out a jar of wine from the back kitchen and said to Wang Zhao excitedly: "The whistleblower is not wrong, this shop really sells private wine."
This jar of wine is jade ice roast, and it is not wrong to smell this taste. ”Wang Zhao looked at Xue Ying coldly: "Xue Niangzi, there is physical evidence right now, what else do you have to say?"
”Xue Ying knew that this prison officer was in collusion with Liang Yongnian, and his catastrophe was inevitable, so he simply explained: "This jar of wine is used by me to entertain relatives and friends, and it is not sold publicly. ”A diner next to him hurriedly said: "I can testify that Xue Niangzi only sells two kinds of wine, Meishou and Hezhi, in the store, and has not sold jade ice roast." ”Wang Zhao's cold gaze swept towards him: "Your Excellency has to think carefully about what you say, you haven't been in the store all the time, you haven't seen it, it doesn't mean that Xue Niangzi is not selling."
If you really want to stand up for her, why don't you go to the yamen with me?
”The people did not fight with the officials, and the citizens in the market were always afraid of getting into a lawsuit, so the diner hurriedly closed his mouth and stopped talking.Xue Ying knew that Wang Zhao was deliberately embarrassed, so she simply raised her voice and said: "If Supervisor Wang can't believe what he says, you might as well go to the neighborhood to inquire more, I still say the same thing, the jade ice roast brewed in the store is used to entertain relatives and friends, if Supervisor Wang upholds his public intentions, he will naturally not let innocent people be wronged." ”Wang Zhaodeng was furious: "Bold shrew, dare to point to Sang and scold Huai here."
Now that there are human and material evidence, you still want to deny it. ”He turned his head and ordered the little official on the side: "Go and seal this store for me, and then carefully check her property." ”In the midst of the chaos, a loud voice sounded at the door: "I'll see who dares." ”Everyone looked out, Xue Ying's eyes lit up, it turned out to be Li Wei here.Because Li Wei was not wearing official clothes, Wang Zhao couldn't figure out his identity, and frowned slightly: "Who is Your Excellency, who dares to interfere with the official office?"
”Li Wei slowly walked into the store, glanced at Wang Zhao, and said in a deep voice: "Hanlin Bachelor Quan knows Kaifeng Mansion Li Wei." ”Wang Zhao was stunned on the spot, Li Wei was in a high position at a young age, he had heard of it a long time ago, this person was the right age, and there was undoubted authority in his words, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat behind him, and he said in a half-loud way: "Bachelor's forgiveness, it is a humble position." ”Li Wei said coldly: "I am different from you, I have never oppressed people with power, I come to this shop every day, and I have never seen Xue Niangzi moonshine for sale, if you don't believe it, you can also ask the neighbors left and right." ”Wang Zhao hurriedly said: "I don't dare to be lowly, since the bachelor came forward to testify, it must be a misunderstanding of the lowly position, and the lowly position will lead his subordinates to retreat." ”"Wait."
Li Wei's cold eyes swept towards Wang Zhao: "You came to the store to search, but you were instructed by the third division?"
”"This ......"
Wang Zhao was speechless for a moment."
Failing to follow the instructions to enter the people's homes to search privately, this is an abuse of power, you should go back and listen to the ginseng.In addition, if your subordinates damage the things in the store, they will also need to be compensated according to the price. ”Wang Zhao's face was as dead as ashes, he really didn't expect that this small gourd soup shop had such a deep background, and Li Wei would come here to eat every day!
After Wang Zhao and the others left, Li Wei immediately stepped forward and asked, "Are you okay?"
”Xue Ying smiled a little reluctantly: "It's okay, fortunately you came in time, and the loss in the store is not big." ”Zhang Qing and Shen Yao were busy cleaning up the furnishings scattered in the store, and Li Wei and Xue Ying also followed to help, and finally put the things in place.After doing all this, Xue Ying could finally rest for a while, she suddenly remembered that Li Wei had come to the store to eat, and said with a rare look of gratitude: "Thank you really for this time, what you want to eat, I'll do it." ”With that, he got up and went to the back kitchen.Levi stretched out his hand to stop her: "No need, I think you're also tired, I'll go home and eat casually, and I'm not hungry." ”Levi's hand inadvertently touched her fingertips, his brows furrowed slightly, and he pulled her hand and asked, "Why are your hands so cold?"
”Xue Ying's face turned slightly red, and when she came to her senses, she hurriedly pulled her hand away and said, "It's okay, it will be warm when you go into the kitchen and burn the fire in a while." ”Li Wei was silent for a moment and said, "Actually, you really don't have to work so hard, I ......"
"Master Li." ”Xue Ying suddenly interrupted him: "The matter of running a gourd soup shop is my own choice, and I really like it, since this is the case, there is no need to mention the hard work." ”Levi was silent again, and said after a long time: "I know, then you rest early, and I will come back tomorrow." ”Li Wei was about to leave, but was stopped by Xue Ying.Her expression was a little hesitant: "Actually, you don't have to come here every day, and I don't want to owe others favors."
You know, I'm from a good city, and we ...... between us" Li Wei immediately interrupted him, and said with a faint smile: "My temper is somewhat similar to Xue Niangzi, I like to come over every day, so you don't have to stop it." ”Xue Ying was stunned for a moment, and when she came back to her senses, she found that Li Wei had already gotten up and left.Chapter 38 After the expansion of Xue's gourd soup shop, a series of new dishes were introduced, which were already well-known in the capital, and also attracted many scholars and doctors to come for a drink, and Zhang Pinyan, the privy deputy minister, was one of them.In the evening of this day, Zhang Pinyan walked into the store with three colleagues and said to Xue Ying with a smile: "Xue Niangzi, I heard that your store has newly launched puffer fish dishes, and I specially brought my friends to taste it." ”Xue Ying hurriedly greeted with a smile: "The puffer fish is now ordered, it can be braised or braised for nothing, how does Zhang Chengzhi plan to eat it?"
”"Then braised it."
Zhang Pinyan said with a smile, he pointed to the three people behind him and said with a smile: "Those who are here today are all my colleagues in the Privy Council, and I will introduce Xue Niangzi."
This is ......"
Isn't this Fang Zhengyan, Xue Ying smiled: "I know Master Fang, and he is also a frequent customer in the store." ”After speaking, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Bachelor Fang has always been rare." ”Fang Zhengyan also nodded: "Recently, there have been a lot of things in the cardinal's mansion, so I didn't care about it. ”Zhang Pinyan smiled: "This is really a coincidence, then these two Xue Niangzi have never seen it, this is Zhou Chengzhi of the Privy Council, and this is Governor Wu." ”Xue Ying stepped forward to greet them one by one, and Zhang Pinyan instructed: "It's all my own people, please ask Xue Niangzi to prepare a few dishes carefully." ”Xue Ying hurriedly agreed, and was about to cook and work with Shen Yao, but saw Qin Feng hurriedly come over and said, "Xue Niangzi, the Dong family has something important to invite." ”Xue Ying frowned and asked, "What's the matter, this has just stopped for a few days, and Liang Xingshou has come up with new tricks?"
”Qin Feng sighed: "It's not Liang Yongnian this time, Xue Niangzi will know when she goes." ”Xue Ying was helpless, so she had to ask Shen Yao: "I'll come back when I go, can you handle it here alone?"
”Shen Yao readily agreed: "Don't worry, lady, I am also a veteran of puffer fish, and there is no problem in entertaining these guests." ”Xue Ying was still a little uneasy, and instructed: "You must clean the fish blood and clean up the internal organs, otherwise it will be troublesome to retain the poisonous juice." ”"I know."
Shen Yao smiled and said, "Lady, go quickly, I am here." ”The eyes, blood, ovaries, liver, and spleen of puffer fish are highly poisonous, and if you cook with no experienced chefs, it is easy to kill people, so there is a saying that you desperately eat puffer fish.Shen Yao didn't dare to be careless, and carefully took out a live puffer fish from the water tank, the puffer fish was frightened and quickly bulged, she first used scissors to cut along the gap between the teeth of the fish's lower jaw to the tail of the fish, skillfully took out the internal organs, air sacs and gills, and carefully rinsed the bruises at the junction between the fish's spine and head.Next, Shen Yao punctured the fish's eyes, squeezed out the eye liquid, and then ripped off the air sacs under the skin and flesh on both sides of the pufferfish, and cut the pufferfish's tail from the root to open the blood.Then peel off the puffer fish skin, wash it repeatedly with clean water, scald it with boiling water, and finally soak it in clean water, during which the water is constantly changed until there is no discoloration in the water, and the toxins of the puffer fish are cleaned.At this point, you can start cooking the pufferfish.The liver of the puffer fish is the most delicious part of the puffer fish, but the poison content is also high, Shen Yao first fried the liver in the oil pan, fully squeezed out the water, and waited until the liver turned golden brown, which meant that it was no longer toxic.Next, Shen Yao put the green onion, ginger, puffer fish meat, and fish skin into the oil pan to fry, and after the surface changes color, add a little rice wine, soy sauce and water, and after the water boils, turn to low heat and cover the lid and simmer.On the other side, put oil in the pot to fry the spring bamboo shoots, put them in the puffer fish pot and cook them together, about half an hour later, the puffer fish is almost cooked, she adds a little salt and pepper, and uses high heat to remove the excess soup, before the pot is drizzled with a little sesame oil, sprinkled with a little coriander, and it is ready to eat.As soon as the puffer fish was served on the table, it attracted everyone's attention, thick oil red sauce, ruddy and shiny, and with a strong aroma of wine, Zhang Pinyan [CX Exclusive] couldn't help laughing: "People say that once you eat puffer fish meat, you don't think about the world's fish for life, but now it seems that it is true." ”Fang Zhengyan also sighed: "It's the first time I've eaten puffer fish, but I also want to know how delicious puffer fish is, even if someone is poisoned and dies every year, it will still make a lot of diners flock to it." ”Although everyone talked and laughed like this, after all, no one moved the chopsticks first, and in the end, Zhou Chengzhi smiled and took a piece of fish meat and said: "Everyone is so curious, then let me be the one who tested the poison." ”As soon as the puffer fish meat is entered, the rich soup will be filled between the lips and teeth, the fish meat has been stewed for a long time, it has become very flavorful, the meat is delicate and smooth, and it is delicious with a unique sweetness, only to feel full of fragrant, Zhou Chengzhi couldn't help laughing and said: "No wonder someone is desperate to eat puffer fish, I think this taste is really worth dying." ”Everyone couldn't help laughing, with Zhou Chengzhi taking the lead, everyone was relieved, and they picked up chopsticks to taste, and the fish was quickly snatched up.Zhang Pinyan felt that he was still unfinished, and turned his attention to the remaining fish skin, because there were fine thorns on the front of the puffer fish skin that would poke his mouth, so he rolled the skin in turn and ate it.Zhang Pinyan couldn't help but praise: "I'm here today."
The last time I ate puffer fish was three years ago, it was braised in white, light and delicious, but I didn't expect braised puffer fish to be more delicious. ”Zhou Chengzhi sandwiched a piece of bamboo shoots to taste, the entrance is refreshing and crisp, because it fully absorbs the soup of stewed puffer fish, the original light ingredients still have a trace of fresh fragrance, it is really a good taste for rice.Fang Zhengyan greeted: "Don't always worry about eating, come and drink, the Meishou wine in the store is brewed by Fengle Building." ”Zhang Qing took a pair of cups, everyone pushed the cups and changed the cups, and the atmosphere of the small banquet soon reached a climax.Only Governor Wu always bowed his head to eat food, and some people toasted and drank, and never said much.Who knew that it didn't take long for Fang Zhengyan to suddenly frown and said, "How do I feel that my tongue is a little numb." ”Zhou Chengzhi also felt that his fingertips were a little numb, he didn't care about it at first, but after a while, his head hurt violently, and he suddenly felt a wave of nausea, and he vomited before he had time to get up.Zhang Pinyan's condition was not much better, his eyelids were already drooping significantly, his abdominal pain was severe, and he soon couldn't get up.The most pitiful one is Governor Wu, who even has difficulty breathing, and has fallen to the ground and is unconscious.It's puffer fish poisoning!
The diners began to panic.Some well-wishers hurriedly went to notify the relatives of the four, and some people reluctantly helped Zhang Pinyan and others to get up, forcing them to vomit out the food in their stomachs, and the store was in a mess.When Xue Ying returned to the store again, it was supposed to be the peak period for customers, but the store was empty, and she was shocked to ask Granny Li about the situation.Granny Li sighed and said, "Lady Xue doesn't know, she scared us to death just now."
I think it was Shen Niangzi who didn't cook the puffer fish properly, and the four guest officers were poisoned on the spot after eating it, and the store was in chaos at that time, because someone was unconscious, the relatives of the visitors had already reported to the official, and Shen Niangzi had just been taken away by the government.Brother Zhang couldn't rest assured of her, so he followed. ”Xue Ying only felt that her head was buzzing, and she was stunned on the spot, and she barely calmed down and asked, "Is the poisoning of those four people very serious?"
”Granny Li sighed: "The other three guest officers spit out all the food they ate because of their timely response, so it may be okay to see the situation."
But one person has already lost consciousness on the spot, and as for whether he can be better, it has to depend on the will of God. ”Xue Ying gasped and hurriedly asked, "Mother-in-law, did the people from the official mansion bring Shen Niangzi there?"
”"Eighty percent was taken to the Yamen of Kaifeng Mansion for temporary detention.""
I'll go to Mrs.
Shen to ask for clarification."
Xue Ying didn't talk much with Granny Li anymore, turned around and walked out of the store.The wind of late spring blew on her face with a hint of coolness, and Xue Ying completely sobered up, no, what she had to do now was not to go to the mansion to find Shen Yao, but to go back to the scene to find evidence.Xue Ying stopped and hurried back to the back kitchen, because the incident happened suddenly, and the garbage in the kitchen was too late to clean up.She scrutinized every nook and cranny and soon found the leftovers of slaughtered puffer fish in a bag.The gills, eyes, spleen, and ovaries are all treated cleanly, and at first glance they are the work of a skilled cook.She returned to the dining table where Zhang Pinyan and others were feasting, and the food on it had not yet had time to be removed.The plate of puffer fish was eaten cleanly, and only a little soup remained.Xue Ying's heart moved, took a little soup and put it in the dish and came to the backyard, where the hens she raised to lay eggs were kept in the cage.Xue Ying mixed the soup she had taken into the chicken feed and beckoned it to eat.The hens are attracted by the smell and quickly run out of feed.She watched quietly for a while, and half an hour passed, and the hen did not see anything unusual.It turns out that there is no poison in this pufferfish!
Shen Yao is honest, she has always been cautious, and she will never promise Xue Ying what she is not sure of.What's more, Shen Yao has cooked puffer fish dishes many times in the past few years, and there have been no accidents, why did there be an accident this time?
Thinking of this, Xue Ying's heart moved: this time, eighty percent of it was a deliberate murder!
At this time, it was already very late, Xue Ying would definitely be stopped when he rushed to the mansion now, so he simply returned to his residence to rest for a while, but he had too many things on his mind, and he could sleep there for a while?
It wasn't until it was close to dawn that Xue Ying took a slight nap.Dimly, he heard Zhang Qing walk in, and hurriedly said to himself: "Xue Niangzi, go and take a look, Liang Yongnian came to the door in person." ”Xue Ying was busy sorting out her clothes and getting up, and when she went out, she saw Liang Yongnian sneering at her: "Xue Niangzi, your assistant chef is involved in a serious case of human life, and the government has ordered you not to open any more shops."
From now on, I will take over the management of this gourd shop. ”Xue Ying was anxious and blurted out: "You are talking nonsense, the puffer fish made by Shen Niangzi is not poisonous at all, this is a deliberate murder by someone." ”Liang Yongnian sneered disdainfully: "Who believes what you say, obviously the four of them ate the puffer fish made by Shen Niangzi, and they all vomited and diarrhea." ”He didn't bother to say more, turned his head and instructed his subordinates on the side, "Go and take a good inventory of the valuable items in the store." ”Xue Ying wanted to step forward to stop her, but her legs were as heavy as lead, and she couldn't move a step, so she finally struggled, it turned out to be a dream.His heart was still beating wildly, and the sweat was already soaking through his middle clothes, Xue Ying calmed down a little and looked out, and the window paper had gradually cleared through.There was a sudden knock on the door outside, this time it was really Zhang Qing who was back.Xue Ying split her head and asked, "How is Shen Niangzi now?"
”Zhang Qing showed an anxious look: "Mrs.
Shen is temporarily detained, and it is not a big deal.It's just that I heard that Governor Wu died of poison last night. ”The author has something to say: a small amount of suspense plots are opened, mainly to bring out the heroine's life experience.Although I usually like to watch suspense movies, it's a waste of logic, so the plot is not brain-burning at all.Of course, when it comes to food, I'm serious, and I won't cut it down.Chapter 39 Xue Yingden was shocked, it seemed that Shen Yao was afraid that he would be to blame this time.After thinking about it, she decided to go to the government office to ask what was going on.Who knew that there was a knock at the door at this time, Xue Ying hurriedly stepped forward to open the door, it was Li Wei who came, and Xue Ying was really surprised and happy to meet him at this time.Hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Bachelor Li came just in time, I think Governor Wu's death is really strange." ”Li Wei said in a deep voice: "I already know everything about the store, so the case involves an official of the imperial court, and the imperial court ordered me to try it personally.I came here today to inquire carefully about the situation at that time, and if you have any doubts, just say so. ”Xue Ying hurriedly said: "I went to Fengle Building last night, and I was not at the scene.But when he came back to clean up the leftovers, he took a little of the leftover soup and fed it to the hens, who are still safe and sound, so it can be seen that the dish is not poisonous at all. ”Levi pondered for a moment and said: "The whole body of the puffer fish may be highly poisonous, it may also be puffer fish meat, or it may be puffer fish liver or puffer fish skin, and the remaining little soup is not enough to make the following conclusions. ”Xue Ying was suddenly a little deflated, and said: "Mrs.
Shen has been making puffer fish dishes for several years, and she has never missed a business trip, this time, I'm afraid it's not as simple as a coincidence." ”Li Wei motioned to her to calm down: "Don't worry, I will investigate this case well, and I will never wrongfully accuse the innocent."
But taking a step back, if it is really Shen Niangzi's manslaughter, she deserves to be exiled according to the laws of the dynasty, and I will not show favoritism. ”Xue Ying hurriedly said: "I know that human life is at stake, if it is really Shen Niangzi's fault, I will not excuse her." ”Levi smiled: "It's good that you can have such an attitude, let's go, follow me to meet someone." ”Xue Ying blurted out, "Who is it?"
”"Master Fang."

Fang Zhengyan's mansion is located in Xiurenfang near Mahang Street, Li Wei and Xue Ying came to the door, Menzi knew Li Wei, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Master Li is here, please sit in the study." ”At that moment, they led the two into the gatehouse of a tiger seat, crossed the brick-grinding patio, and went around a hand-copying verandah to the study, where two male servants served, and opened the curtain to let the two in.Xue Ying raised her eyes and saw that there were all one-color water-milled nanmu tables and chairs, and there was a small plaque with white paper and ink characters hanging in the middle.It is the three words "Ji Wei Ju".The two of them sat down to have tea, and after a while, Fang Zhengyan walked out of the inner courtyard, his expression was a little aggrieved, obviously his body had just recovered.Li Wei got up and arched his hand and said, "I already know everything about yesterday, Zicheng was implicated, how is he now?"
”Fang Zhengyan also greeted the two, sighed and said: "Fortunately, I didn't eat much puffer fish yesterday, and once I found out that something was wrong, I vomited it out in time, so it was fine." ”Xue Ying hurriedly said: "I'm really sorry for what happened......
Before her words fell, she was interrupted by Fang Zhengyan: "This can't be all blamed on Xue Niangzi, to be honest, I always feel a little strange about this matter." ”Li Wei and Xue Ying glanced at each other, and Li Wei opened his mouth and asked, "Can Zicheng carefully explain what is wrong?"
”Fang Zhengyan frowned and said: "I know Governor Wu, he is a Jinshi in Chengping for six years, he has been the head of the military department for six years, and he only served in the Privy Council last year, and he is the most withdrawn and unsociable.This time, Zhang Cheng set up a banquet to entertain his colleagues at the gourd soup shop, and actually called Governor Wu as well, and the two of them have never had a friendship. ”Li Wei pondered for a moment and asked, "Zhang Chengzhi, Zhou Chengzhi, and Governor Wu, what are the contradictions in ordinary times?"
”Fang Zhengyan said: "Everyone serves in the Privy Council, and they work hard to get seniority together, if there is competition, but as far as I know, there is no major contradiction. ”"So," Xue Ying interjected, "Yesterday, the three of them dined at the small restaurant, did Master Fang see anything unusual?"
”Fang Zhengyan pondered for a moment and said: "There is one thing, as far as I know, Zhou Chengzhi and Zhang Chengzhi don't like to drink on weekdays, and I have always only slightly touched my lips when I persuaded drinking, but I drank a lot yesterday, which is also strange." ”Li Wei frowned slightly, he couldn't see anything for a while, he thought for a moment and said, "Zicheng should recuperate, if you think of anything again, you can tell me at any time." ”Fang Zhengyan also got up to send him off: "Hey, I'm not sick either."
Just now Pingfu also came to visit, saying that Li Yuanqing of Xia State was called the emperor, and all men over 15 years old and under 30 years old were used as soldiers, and the day before yesterday Gyeongju had been captured, His Majesty was furious, and it seemed that the colleagues in the Privy Council were busy again. ”Li Wei asked in his heart: "Some people in the court have long expected that Li Yuanqing will be the emperor, and His Majesty has also sent people to the Xia Kingdom to spy on them. ”Fang Zhengyan sighed and said, "Who knows the trick in it, it seems that we also have to be conscripted." ”Fang Zhengyan was cautious and refused to speak falsely, but Li Wei knew that there were many people who spoke for Li Yuanqing in the court, including several imperial historians and governors.Some people in the Privy Council also believed that Li Yuanqing was deferential and courteous, and that the imperial court should implement a far-reaching policy and appease people with virtue, and it was not appropriate to resort to force.Levi's brows furrowed more and more, it seems that there should be another big move in the government and the opposition recently.It was close to noon when he came out of Fang Zhengyan's mansion, Li Wei glanced at Xue Ying and asked, "Are you hungry?"
”Xue Ying's heart was in a mess, she was really in no mood to eat, and sighed and said, "I'm not hungry, if you want to eat something, I can go back to the store to do it." ”Levi waved his hand to stop her: "No need, I think you are not in the mood to cook now."
I know a nearby Sichuan restaurant makes good noodles, so let's go there and eat some to fill our stomachs. ”Xue Ying couldn't help but glance at Li Wei in surprise, didn't he always dislike buying food in the shop?
Li Wei seemed to know what she was thinking, and said with a faint smile: "I don't like to eat out, but this Sichuan restaurant is an exception."
When I was a teenager, Mr.
Lu led me to eat, and ten years have passed. ”To be able to get Li Wei's approval, this store must have its own uniqueness, at this time Xue Ying was a little interested, and asked, "Where is this store?"
”"It's on the east side of Horse Street."
While talking, the two came to a shop on the street, with a plaque of "Wang Po Chuan Hotel" hanging at the door, and the space inside was not large, and the dining table was full of diners.Li Wei led Xue Ying to find a place to sit down, and Xingcai immediately came up and greeted: "What do the two guest officers want to eat, the specialty of the small shop is noodles, three fresh noodles, bamboo shoots and meat noodles, bamboo shoots spicy noodles, fried chicken noodles, pig and sheep hermitage noodles are everything." ”Levi's choice has been unchanged for ten years, and he said casually: "Bring me a bowl of bamboo shoots and pork noodles." ”Xue Ying deliberately wanted to try the level of this shop, and said with a smile: "I want to eat fried pork and slippery noodles, can you make it?"
”"Yes, yes."
After a stack of dishes, he shouted to the back kitchen: "A bowl of bamboo shoots and meat noodles, a bowl of fried meat and smooth noodles." ”Xue Ying looked curiously at the back kitchen, although the old woman inside was old, her hands and feet were very sharp, she grabbed the dough casually, kneaded it into more than a dozen pieces and put it in the water, waited a little while to take out the pieces and stretched them thin, the old woman looked at it as a familiar hand for making noodles, the noodles were stretched thin and wide, and quickly thrown into the hot water, and after a while, the noodles were cooked.The old woman quickly scooped up the noodles, poured the boiled pork bone broth, added the almonds, salted bamboo shoots, pickled melon, eggplant, ginger, pickled leeks, cucumber shreds, and finally added a few large slices of fried meat, and a bowl of fried pork was ready.Next, the old woman went down to the pot to stir-fry spring bamboo shoots and fresh meat, and the kitchen assistant on the side skillfully rolled the dough into thin shreds, and the bamboo shoots and meat noodles ordered by Li Wei were quickly ready.As the name suggests, bamboo shoots and pork noodles are made from spring bamboo shoots and pork, and chopped cabbage is added to it.Li Wei scooped a spoonful of soup and tasted it, and the soup was filled with pepper and ginger, which was extremely spicy in the mouth.The spring bamboo shoots are crispy and the pork is tender, while the pickled cabbage has a salty and sour taste and exudes a special aroma that makes the soup even more delicious.Levi added another noodle and put it in his mouth, because the noodles were fine and soaked up the juice, so they were full of flavor, and the taste was very chewy, not soft at all.Xue Ying's attention was all on the bowl of fried pork in front of her, and the snow-white soup with tender yellow salted bamboo shoots, brown pickled melon, green cucumber shreds and pickled leeks looked tempting.Xue Ying first picked up a piece of fried meat to taste, the meat was obviously freshly fried, very tender and with a wok, she scooped another mouthful of soup, there is a unique richness of pork bone soup, because of the addition of many ingredients, the taste is richer, especially the pickled tender leeks, which further sets off the sweetness of the soup.The best thing is that the noodles pulled by the old woman herself, they are really smooth and soft, and maintain the texture of the noodles, each one is full of fresh and sweet soup, and within a moment, Xue Ying is almost finished eating this bowl of noodles.She praised from the bottom of her heart: "The old woman's craftsmanship is really good. ”Food really has the power to soothe people's hearts, and Li Wei couldn't help but smile when he saw Xue Ying's brows stretched, revealing a smile that had been rare in the past two days.At this time, the mother-in-law Wang also came out of the back kitchen, and stepped forward to greet Li Weidao: "This guest officer hasn't been to the shop for a long time, and the noodles taste good today?"
”Li Wei smiled and said: "It's still as delicious as before, no wonder the business in my mother-in-law's shop has been so prosperous." ”Who knew that the old woman sighed and said: "This is not to support the family, I can't survive this old bone for a few years, I just hope that my son can come back from the army, and I can have a good rest." ”Li Wei asked casually, "When did Ling Lang join the army?"
”The old woman sighed, "It's been ten years.The dog is in the Yongxing army, and the Xia Kingdom has been in turmoil recently, and I am afraid that war is inevitable, and he is afraid that he will not be able to go home during the Chinese New Year this year. ”Levi was silent, he really couldn't persuade him.The old woman suddenly said indignantly: "The dog's partner in the army was injured in the leg, and when he returned to Beijing the day before yesterday, he told me that Gyeongju had been lost, and thousands of soldiers had died.Xia Guo's next step was to attack Youzhou.Li Yuanqing's wolf ambition is well known to the world, but there are people in the court who speak for him, which is really a strange thing. ”Amid the old woman's complaints, Levi silently finished eating the bowl of bamboo shoots and pork noodles, and no one noticed that his right hand was gradually clenched.Li Wei said goodbye to Xue Ying after lunch and returned to the mansion, but saw that the official lowered his voice and stepped forward to report: "Bachelor, the results of the autopsy have come out, and Governor Wu did die of the poison of the puffer fish. ”"Got it, you stand down."
As soon as the servant had left, Levi sat down and pressed his slender fingers to the table: the case was getting more and more interesting.The author has something to say: this article is still based on food, supplemented by suspense.Bamboo shoots and pork noodles are actually similar to Hangzhou's Pian Erchuan and I'm the favorite.Thank you to the little angel who voted for me during 2020-06-2112:44:58~2020-06-2119:30:03 ~ Thank you to the little angel who voted for the rocket launcher: 1 Xiyun; Thanks to the little angel who irrigated the nutrient solution: 30 bottles of Xiyun; 5 bottles of light song; Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
Chapter 40 Xue Ying's gourd soup shop had a serious fatality, so it was temporarily closed for rectification.Fortunately, there is still some money left from selling raw silk and wages in the Li Mansion, and there is no problem in maintaining daily expenses.At noon that day, Xue Ying had lunch and was about to visit Shen Yao in prison, when Li Wei came over again.He has come too often these days, but Xue Ying is concerned about the progress of the case, and he is willing to see him, so he asked: "Ah Lang, what is the clue of the case?"
”Li Wei looked left and right about it: "Today is the first seven days of Governor Wu, would you like to go to the Wu Mansion with me to mourn?"
”In any case, the suspicion that Governor Wu died of puffer fish poisoning was not ruled out, Xue Ying was ashamed of him in his heart, and hurriedly said: "I am naturally willing, let's go now." ”Governor Wu's original name was Wu Feng, because of his humble background and high housing prices in the capital, he only rented three houses in Huazhi Lane in Jingrenfang.As a six-pin Beijing official, Wu Feng's monthly silver is only 20 yuan, plus he is high and square on weekdays, and he refuses to intercede with others, and he has no extra income, so this money is only enough to maintain daily life, and he can't even afford to hire a servant, and today he is a distant cousin of Wu Feng who greets guests at the door, who is only in his twenties, and Wu Fu hired him to take care of the tea and dinner, and usher in the delivery, also in order to save money.Today is Wu Feng's first seven, but there are not many people who come to mourn, and a few colleagues also take a photo and leave, which shows that his popularity on weekdays is not very good.After Li Wei and Xue Ying went to Lingqian to salute, they went to the main room to visit Wu Feng's mother, Mrs.
Zhang, although the two had already prepared, they were still shocked by the simplicity of the room.There is not much furniture in the narrow room, just a table, a chair and a bed, and the walls are simply painted, and the wall skin is also peeling off a little due to the resurgence of early summer.Xue Ying felt sad for a while, this place is like the private residence of the imperial court official, which is not as good as the home of the Chinese!
Mrs.
Zhang thought that she had just cried bitterly, her eyes were still red, but she could barely hold on, Li Wei persuaded her a few words of condolences as usual, Mrs.
Zhang sighed and said: "At my age, it's just a matter of sending a white-haired person to a black-haired person."
It's just that now the daughter-in-law is pregnant, but the unborn child will never see his father again. ”Xue Ying hurriedly persuaded: "In any case, it is a great thing that the Wu family has a future, for the sake of the unborn children, Mrs.
Tai should also cheer up." ”Li Wei interjected on the side: "Ling Lang's autopsy results have come out, he died of puffer fish poisoning, what does Mrs.
Tai think about this?"
”Mrs.
Zhang's emotions suddenly became excited: "It can't be manslaughter, someone deliberately wanted to frame my son." ”Li Wei frowned slightly: "Mrs.
Tai, don't get excited, who do you think wants to frame Ling Lang?"
