Chapter 257: Popcorn (1)
"What a sinister villain!" After listening to Lin Fei's dictation of the conversation between the Yang family's husband and the two vendors, Liu Yuan couldn't help but sigh, "Fortunately, Mr. Xun was replaced, otherwise... tsk tsk!"
It might be a good idea to let Xunzhou debate academic articles with others, but if he gets involved in such things, he might just get in, and not even the dregs will be left behind.
Bai Zhu heard his sigh, glanced at Liu Yuan, and said: "Although Yang is a bait, he is a special bait! Those murderers are not kind people. It is a strange thing for him to escape unscathed!"
If it was just an ordinary bait, no matter how insidious he was, it would be a matter of cutting him off with a knife if he encountered a murderer like that! But the murderer would show mercy to the person named Yang, and really allowed him to exchange Miss Chang for Miss Huang San.
An extremely strange thing.
"This villain must have something that can hold those murderers in check!" Liu Yuan thought for a moment and rubbed his chin, "So much so that those murderers would go easy on him!"
As soon as these words came out, Bai Zhu immediately nodded and said: "I think so too! But I don't know how this villain got the handle on those murderers?"
These thugs have been doing evil for so many years, how could they easily let a villain named Yang get the handle?
Just as he was thinking this, Lin Fei, who was standing by the window and watching the market with his clairvoyance, said: "We might as well check out Mr. Yang who fell into the river and drowned!"
Back then, Mr. Yang was overjoyed after settling the Chang family's marriage. He drank so much that he lost his footing and drowned in the river in the middle of the night. No one noticed him.
All these things seem to be fine together. The only problem from the perspective of outsiders is that it is such a coincidence that it is impossible to say whether the Chang family's marriage is resolved or not.
"Mr. Yang's cloth shop business suddenly took off, and it got better and better. But after his death, the cloth shop business quickly declined. Maybe it was because Yang's mother was really not good at running it," Lin Fei said,
"They failed so quickly that they couldn't even keep an old business! Even if Mother Yang's management was really bad, she was still a person who knew how to show weakness and asked someone to take care of the business of their orphan and widowed mother. It was pity for her.
It’s not a difficult thing! The Yang family’s business wouldn’t have failed so quickly!”
Of course, the mother and son of the Yang family are not good people, but they are extremely good at showing weakness to gain advantage. Otherwise, they would not have been able to make so many years of money from the Chang family.
The affairs of the Yang family must be investigated, and the murderer behind the scenes must also be investigated! Looking at the porcelain vendors and the husband of the Yang family who were closing their stalls in the market ahead, Lin Fei closed his clairvoyance, turned and walked out the door: "There is no need to come here to keep an eye on me in the future.
Got it!"
Since those criminals want to retreat, they will no longer come to the market to collect "bait".
Because they left early, they returned to Dali Temple only at Shenshi.
Liu Yuan looked at the sky: It was quite embarrassing at this time. It was still early before the evening meal. It was the right time to buy another snack to fill his stomach.
But...looking at the officials and servants working in the lobby, almost everyone had paper bags placed on them: either millet rice crispy rice, stir-fried chestnuts with sugar, or both.
When I went to the public kitchen at this time, I didn’t know if there were any snacks left! Liu Yuan, who was too lazy to make the trip in vain, stopped a passing servant and asked casually: "Are there any snacks left in the public kitchen?"
The officer who was eating millet rice dumplings shook his head, pointed in the direction of the Imperial College, and said: "A group of students rushed over there today, like hungry wolf cubs, and bought up all the snacks in the public kitchen!"
Here, the officer took a breath of cold air, looking quite concerned about Yu Ji, "Even the braised duck that goes with the wine has been taken away, not even a bone... not even a bone is left!"
The students who came suddenly really scared the people in Dali Temple!
Although when I was the same age as those students, I was the age when I was most likely to get hungry. I would feel hungry before eating several large bowls of rice.
But the attitude of that group of students was really amazing! He had always had the habit of going to the Yamen to drink some wine, so he always liked to buy some braised duck after dinner and go back to serve it as a meal. Who knew? I can’t even buy food and drinks today!
As for how those students knew that the Dali Temple Public Kitchen sold delicious snacks...
"Yu Jijiu rewarded those students with milk tea and millet crispy rice. Do you still remember Liu Sicheng!" When the officer said this, he couldn't help but twitching his lips, "The students liked the milk tea and millet crispy rice very much. They have been asking about it for a long time. I only found out the source from a teaching doctor who was not so tight-lipped, so I came over to grab it when class was over!"
Unexpectedly, students would run out to grab snacks in the middle of the meal, and the chef was caught off guard.
Facing the empty countertop, Ji Caimai sighed, stood up and left the takeout stall.
All the snacks in the stall have been taken away, why are you still sitting there?
Business is good and there is a lot of money in the pocket, which is of course a good thing, but... Ji Caimai, who took a sip of the wolfberry water in his hand and felt that his mouth was so watery, clicked his tongue and said: "I originally meant to I left snacks for a few of us, but..."
If those students saw it, what would be left to them? It is only right to snatch them all away!
Ah Bing and Tangyuan rubbed their hungry stomachs and looked at Wen Mingtang who was looking thoughtfully at the empty countertop.
Everyone, please go and try it soon.】
"Master Wen, do you have any other snacks to fill your stomach? I'm hungry!"
Those students are not the only ones in the long body, they are too!
Before Wen Mingtang could speak, he heard a voice coming from outside the kitchen.
"Yes, Master Wen! Is there any snack to fill my stomach? I'm very hungry!" Liu Yuan said with Bai Zhu, and Lin Fei walked in from outside!
Wen Mingtang looked at the eyes of everyone looking at her, twitched the corner of her mouth, thought for a while, and said to A Bing: "I remember there is some corn left in the warehouse, go get it!"
Corn? When Liu Yuan heard this, he felt a little disappointed: "Master Wen, will you cook corn for me to eat?"
It’s not that he hates eating corn, but what he wants to eat at this time is a snack, not a staple food like corn!
Although she didn't say it directly, how could Wen Mingtang not see Liu Yuan's disappointed look? She shook her head and said, "It's not about burning corn to eat, but making a snack!" Then she said to the glutinous rice balls beside her, "I A few days ago, I made something called butter out of milk and put it in the ice cellar. Please bring it over for me too!"
When Tang Yuan heard that he wanted to use the butter that smelled rich in frankincense, he immediately responded with joy, turned around, asked Ji Caimai for the key, and ran to the ice cellar.
After Ah Bing and Tangyuan left to get the ingredients, Liu Yuan, who couldn't help it anymore, hurriedly asked Wen Mingtang: "So what are the snacks that Master Wen makes? It uses corn, and what kind of milk or butter is used to make it?" ?”
