Chapter 33 Pork floss (1)

There was an earth-shattering coughing sound in the room.

Ji Caimai, who was suddenly choked by the brown sugar juice mixed with peanut crumbs, coughed heartbreakingly. He turned around and looked at Liu Yuan angrily while coughing: "Ahem...Liu Sicheng...ahem, cough, cough, cough, cough... You...you...what are you looking for me for?"

Liu Yuan casually patted Ji Caimai's shoulder and gave him a few perfunctory words of comfort. Then his eyes fell on the only small pumpkin-shaped round cake left on the table: "What is this? Where did you buy it?"

Ji Caimai looked at him, but before Liu Yuan could say anything, he couldn't help but pick up the small round cake. He glanced at Ji Caimai, who was glaring at him, and said with a smile: "Ji Caimai, let me eat this cake." Come on! I’ll buy ten of them later and pay you back!”

After saying that, Ji Caibian took a bite without waiting for a word, and then... his eyes suddenly lit up.

Hmm! He seems to know why Ji Caimai ate it behind closed doors: this pancake is crispy on the outside and waxy on the inside. Not only does it look like a pumpkin, it also tastes like a pumpkin. It’s sweet inside and has a rich texture. It’s really delicious. !

Liu Yuan finished the pumpkin pie in three mouthfuls, sucked his fingers, and looked at Ji Caimai, who had an angry look on his face, and asked with lingering interest: "Where did you buy it? I don't know when it opened in Chang'an City. Such a snack shop."

Ji Caimai pointed at him, his fingers trembling so much that he could hardly speak.

"Buy? You can't buy it anywhere! It was made by Master Wen, the public chef!" Ji Caimai said angrily, "I only got three in total, and this is the only one left for you to eat. I...I...you... "

Seeing Ji Cai's arrogant and incoherent expression, Liu Yuan was stunned: "If I remember correctly, after Lin Shaoqing's sharp eyesight, there are only two chefs left in our public kitchen. One is named Sun and the other is Wang. The food cooked there can be sent directly downstairs. When did a chef named Wen arrive?"

"I've been here for a few days." Ji Caimai rolled his eyes at him angrily and said.

Liu Yuan was even more surprised when he heard this: "Then the lunch and evening meals are still the same, and the two old faces behind the table are still the same?"

"I arranged for the person to be at the food stall." Ji Caimai said, with a somewhat complicated look on his face. He faced Liu Yuan who was about to ask more questions, but did not wait for him to ask further questions and explained himself, "Then Master Wen's students are more beautiful." Chef Zhou is prettier! No, it’s not prettier, she’s too prettier. She looks like that... She doesn’t look like a busy cook? If Old Man Jiang hadn’t come forward, I wouldn’t have wanted to leave her here. So I would have left her behind. It’s arranged at the morning food stall.”

As he was talking, Liu Yuan suddenly realized: apart from the prisoners in the prison, few people would go to the morning meal stall, so nothing could go wrong. Ji Caimai must have thought so, so he arranged for Master Wen to make the morning meal.

After smacking his lips and savoring the taste of what he had just eaten, Liu Yuan swallowed and asked Ji Caimai: "In addition to making this cake, what else has Master Wen made?"

Ji Caimai raised his eyelids and glanced at him, and said angrily: "I have only eaten this pumpkin cake. I heard from the jailers that there are some called fried noodles, salty soy milk, fried dough sticks, and scallion oil. All the noodles are delicious.”

Liu Yuan was so drooling that he couldn't help complaining to Ji Caimai: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"I only found out about it today," Ji Caimai said, "Who would have thought that there could be so many tricks in the court food? Even if she comes from the palace, the palace food is not that fancy."

When Liu Yuan heard this, he nodded hurriedly and said: "That's right! I have never heard of the name of these Chao Shi. I can guarantee that they are not available in the entire Chang'an City."

Ji Cai gave him a rollicking look, not forgetting the account just now: "You even asked me to eat my cake!"

Liu Yuan was choked by these words and said with a dry smile: "It doesn't matter! Master Wen is here, let alone the morning meal. I think we can also let Master Wen cook the lunch and evening meals!"

Ji Caimai said: "Even if you are greedy, you must act according to the rules. The two of them are registered, but they cannot be removed because the food is unpalatable! Otherwise, why did the first few stay here for so long? That is,

Lin Shaoqing took action and sent those few to prison so they could be taken away!"

Liu Yuan felt helpless as he said this: the word "rules" is really an insurmountable mountain. The trouble is so tight!

Thinking of having to eat Master Sun and Master Wang's food for a long time, Liu Yuan felt a headache.

However, saying this made him suddenly think of it: "The morning before yesterday, Zhao You had a shiny face. I asked him what he ate, and he said he ate soy milk and fried dough sticks... What a Zhao You! I said how could he eat

I didn’t even eat the buns given to him today, so I went to the public kitchen to eat the morning meal!”

This one is really stubborn... the public chef changed his chef and didn't know how to tell them!

Seeing Liu Yuan's annoyed look, Ji Caimai's eyes fell on the brown sugar juice at the corner of his mouth and paused for a moment. Then he looked away bitterly and said angrily: "What does Liu Sicheng want from me?"

Liu Yuan said "Oh" and then remembered the reason why he came: "It's hot, so the chef will make some sour plum drink!"

Ji Caimai nodded and said, "I'll go over and talk to Sun Ding in a moment."

When he heard the name "Sun Dingren", the veins on Liu Yuan's forehead were about to bulge, but after thinking about it, he still didn't say anything more: No matter how you make things like sour plum drink, it's not going to taste good.

It’s so hard to drink!

Liu Yuan was still thinking this when he walked out of Dali Temple to handle the case. But when it was almost dusk, he returned to Dali Temple after finishing his work, picked up the sour plum drink distributed by the public kitchen, and after taking a sip, his face turned blue.

What the hell is this? It's sour and astringent, and the taste is indescribable, as if you've been drinking medicine with vinegar and sugar added overnight.

I knew I shouldn't expect too much from those two "crouching dragon and phoenix chick" masters! Liu Yuan drank several cups of tea before he felt a little bit better and smacked his mouth. The one he had eaten during the day

Comparing the taste of pumpkin pie with this... those jailers really were right! It was as if they had stepped directly into the eighteenth level of hell after ascending to the ninth heaven.

It's a pity that Master Wen only cooks the morning meal! It seems that he will come early tomorrow so that he can eat the morning meal in the public kitchen.

But I don’t know what Master Wen will do for tomorrow’s morning meal. I heard that Master Wen’s morning meal has never been too different in the past few days.

Wen Mingtang, who was worried about Liu Yuan, had already brought Ah Bing and glutinous rice balls to meet Ji Cai to buy ingredients.

When a few people came over, Ji Caimai pointed at Master Wang who was cooking the evening meal with a sullen face and scolded: "What on earth are you and Sun Ding doing? Do you think I, the public chef, can buy sugar and glutinous rice for free?"

Wen Mingtang looked at the large bucket of glutinous rice soaked in water next to Ji Caimai and suddenly realized: after Master Sun made a delicious meal the day before yesterday, Master Wang started to waste glutinous rice again.

Master Wang drooped his head and defended in a low voice: "I forgot that I had already scooped up glutinous rice."

"How can you forget such a big thing? Did you waste the rice from the public kitchen like this?" Ji Caimai cursed, and when he glanced at Wen Mingtang who was coming over, the sullenness on his face lessened slightly, and he nodded towards her,

He said, "Master Wen is here?"

Wen Mingtang called out "Ji Caimai" and was about to speak when Ji Caimai said: "Master Wang used a lot more meat for his evening meal today. It would be a waste. Master Wen, please take it back!"

I received a temporary notification from the editor that it will be put on the shelves tomorrow. It's a little rushed. Let me tell everyone that the update will be accelerated starting tomorrow.
