Chapter 410 Mushroom Stewed Chicken and Chicken Soup Noodles (2)

Author: A long walk back

Although Wen Mingtang vaguely knew that the trouble left by Wen Xuance was not small, he did not expect that the problem would be so big, so he was not in a hurry, and together with Tangyuan and A Bing, they spent the whole day cracking melon seeds and drinking water.

We drank tea and chatted about food for a while.

From the cold dishes before the main course to the main course to the snacks that were eaten at the end of the meal, several people chatted a lot. Although they didn't explicitly talk about opening a restaurant, they talked in such detail, which was obviously not the case.

It was intentional, and Tangyuan and A Bing were very happy about it.

This is the case in the first month of the year. You either go out to watch temple fairs or go shopping, get close to the gods and Buddhas in the temple, and pray that the other person will look at you more favorably, and have good weather in the coming year; or you just go out to visit relatives and friends.

Just like Wen Mingtang, Ah Bing and Tangyuan, they were chatting while cracking melon seeds.

Today's three meals were all cooked by Tang Yuan and Ah Bing. They have learned many dishes in the past year and are now very good at cooking them, which is more than enough for one meal.

When it was time to finish dinner, Wen Mingtang got up and went to the kitchen, where he began to prepare a late-night snack for Lin Fei and others to come to eat at midnight.

Put the washed and chopped chicken into a large casserole, add ginger slices and wine, wait until it boils, skim off the floating powder on top to make the soup cleaner, then add wolfberry, black dates and soak

The good mountain mushrooms are stewed slowly.

After doing this, Wen Mingtang returned to the house, sat down and continued to drink tea and chat with the two of them.

Seeing Wen Mingtang coming and going for less than a stick of incense, the two of them were also a little surprised: "Master Wen, are you ready for the supper?"

Wen Mingtang nodded and said with a smile, "That's almost it."

For late night snacks, for tired people like Lin Fei, the important thing is to iron the clothes quickly, a bowl of fresh and clean mushroom stewed chicken soup with a handful of rice noodles, and the hot soup and water are brought up and served quickly.

The belly is ready.

If on a normal day, if Lin Fei and others came here just to satisfy their craving, Wen Mingtang would be willing to get a charcoal pot and make a barbecue or something like that, but for now... let's forget about it for now!

Wen Mingtang's guess was right. Halfway through Xu Shi, there was a knock on the door of the Yuan family. Lin Fei, Liu Yuan, Bai Zhu and two other servants, Zhao Youtong, appeared outside the door.

Looking at the visible fatigue on the faces of the group and the dust and mud on the boots of a few people, one can tell that they have walked a lot today.

When they walked in, Zhao Youtong and two other guards were still carrying a baggage behind them. Wen Mingtang, Tang Yuan and A Bing were still curious about what was in the huge baggage when they welcomed them in. When they sat down, they

After I put down the baggage, I looked at the shape of the baggage and immediately realized that what was inside was a file, filled with several bags of files.

I don’t know where this group of people got so many files.

Although he was curious, Wen Mingtang didn't ask any more questions. He couldn't help but look at the baggage a few more times and then withdrew his gaze. When he was about to leave for the kitchen, Lin Fei said: "We went there today.

A trip to the household department."

Although it was just this sentence, Wen Mingtang understood that these files came from the Ministry of Household Affairs.

But Hubu was not outside the city, so why were there so much mud on his boots?

"I went to look through the old files of the Ministry of Finance from many years ago," Lin Fei said. He raised his head and glanced at Wen Mingtang who was leaving, and said in a voice that she could just hear, "I went to the warehouse of the Ministry of Finance outside the city."

The Hubu Yamen, one of the six yamen in Da Rong, is naturally not small, but there are more than hundreds of documents and miscellaneous things in Da Rong Guo Zuo. There will always be a time when the warehouse in the yamen cannot be piled up. At this time, it will be

Some files from the early years that were rarely read again were moved to a warehouse outside the city to prepare for emergencies.

The files that were moved to the warehouse outside the city were naturally either very old or unimportant.

Unexpectedly, where did a group of them go today... Wen Mingtang, who was just a bystander to the case, could not imagine or guess the intention of this group of people going there, but it was probably related to Zhao Mengzhuo's case.

She has a specialization in the art, so... all she had to do was prepare this midnight snack, so that this bowl of warm soup could drive away the fatigue of Lin Fei and the others after running around for a day.

After an hour and a half of slow simmering, the pot of chicken and mushroom soup was completely flavorful. Wen Mingtang only came over halfway through and added some salt but nothing else.

Compared with the more complicated and elaborate methods she used to do in the past, this method is simple and simple, and is not much different from the methods of most chefs in Da Rong.

If there is any difference, it's probably that the soup looks clearer.

After opening the lid and taking a look, Wen Mingtang put the lid back on and began to prepare other items.

Start with a bowl of delicious mushroom stewed chicken soup, then add a handful of smooth and chewy rice noodles. The hot soup will go down your stomach, which is the best way to dispel fatigue.

But... it's more than that. After all, when Wen Mingtang came back from a trip to the market today, he brought a basket full of vegetables and meat. Even if they were glutinous rice balls, Ah Bing and Wu ate some for lunch.

But there is a lot left over for each type.

Wen Mingtang deliberately took out the small plates from the Tangyuan family, placed the nine small plates neatly on the square tray, and then added side dishes to each small plate in turn: thinly sliced ​​pork tenderloin, black fish

Slices of pork loin that have been cooked through water, bamboo shoots, quail eggs, mushrooms, pea tips, tofu skin, fungus, etc. Although there is something on display, there are both meat and vegetables.

When the table was finished, Wen Mingtang looked at the "nine square grid" side dish tray and couldn't help but purse his lips and smack lightly.

Although it's just an ordinary bowl of rice noodles, after finishing it like this, it has a unique sense of sophistication. What's more important is that it can be boiled and eaten right away.

In fact... this is a copy of the cross-bridge rice noodles, but it's not authentic. As for the more authentic ones, let's keep them for now and maybe open a restaurant in the future... Just like Broken Gold Rice, it's a

What a gimmick to attract customers!

In the wing room, because Lin Fei spoke, the two guards Zhao Youtong also sat down, and the six of them were sitting around the largest food table in Tangyuan's house, waiting for Wen Mingtang's supper.

Because Master Wen had mentioned before he went to the kitchen that he would stew chicken soup and add some rice noodles today. It was not like they had never eaten these in the public kitchen before, so everyone was not curious and just waited for the chicken soup and rice noodles to be brought over.

Talking about today's rush.

"The people in the Household Department are so careless. Files from decades ago are just piled up there casually. They don't care about pests. Many files are infested with insects!" A policeman couldn't help complaining.

, "Many of them were eaten out."

"But fortunately, the files that Lin Shaoqing asked me to look for are still there!" Another officer breathed a sigh of relief, answered, paused, and couldn't help but mutter, "If Lin Shaoqing hadn't mentioned it, we wouldn't have thought of going through the household transfer process.

The old treasury of the ministry! I think of the case that Mr. Zhao handled that was related to the Ministry of Household Affairs, in which Mr. Zhao was seriously injured and suffered from old illnesses. Every winter in these years, he had to wear two thick coats to carry it.

It’s okay to live there. There was no sign from the Ministry of Finance and no one asked about it. It’s really chilling.”

Lin Fei, who was flipping through the files with his head down, did not raise his head to react to the officer's mutterings and complaints. This was not surprising, as Lin Shaoqing was a man of few words. However, Bai Zhutong and Liu Yuan on the other side, especially those who always talked,

Liu Yuan, who was so busy, unexpectedly remained silent and didn't answer. He just kept to himself and poured cups of tea into his stomach with Bai Zhu, as if he was really tired after running all day.
