Dali Temple Small Dining Room

  Chapter 36 Rice Balls (2)

  Zhao You was puzzled and said: "Does it need to be said? If you can't come to the public kitchen to eat Chaoshi, where can you go to eat?"

   One sentence blocked Liu Yuan Tongji's purchasing speech.

  The public kitchen of Dali Temple is indeed a place specially prepared for court meals for officials of Dali Temple. But the public chef had already asked the two masters, Sun and Wang, to scare people away. Who would come to the public kitchen to eat?

  Lunch and evening meals are unavoidable, and a lunch or evening meal costs too much money, but morning meals are generally settled at home or passed by a morning meal shop, so naturally there is no need to come to the public kitchen to suffer.

   Not to mention, before meeting Master Wen, who knew that Chaoshi could have so many tricks?

  Seeing that Liu Yuan Tongji was standing still, Zhao You stretched out his hand and swept the two aside, saying, "Let's go! Let's go! I'm going in to get the court food, and I want to bring Lin Shaoqing's share!"

   One sentence reminded Ji Caimai: "I don't think it's no wonder that Lin Shaoqing reminded me of Sun Dingren and Wang Junshan's tricks two days ago. It turns out that Lin Shaoqing also knew that Master Wen's court food is delicious."

Liu Yuan looked at Ji Caimai, Ji Caimai didn't need him to say anything, so he told the story of the salty soy milk grabbing candy from Master Sun two days ago, Liu Yuan rolled his eyes when he heard it, and couldn't help saying: "I don't have much ability, but the villain's behavior is really good." One by one is amazing!"

While speaking, Zhao You had already run to the counter, looking at the side dishes stacked on the counter, his saliva was almost drooling, he quickly stretched out a hand, and said, "I'll take... I'll count...five servings! "

  Liu Yuantongji, who just stepped into the public kitchen, couldn't help but have a meal: five servings?

   "If he eats this for lunch and dinner, how could he not be able to eat it with his appetite?" Liu Yuantongji, who came back to his senses, looked at each other, shook his head, and walked over.

   Before he got close, Liu Yuan let out a surprised "Huh".

  Ji Caimai asked him: "What's wrong?"

   Liu Yuan looked at the girl who was busy behind the counter, and said, "I recognize her."

One sentence aroused Ji Caimai's squinting eyes: "How do you know Master Wen? She was released from the palace only a few days ago! Don't just recognize her because she is pretty. I remember you have a childhood sweetheart fiancee who is still in your hometown. If you didn’t come here, if you recognize your sister indiscriminately or something, carefully tell this group of colleagues to tell your fiancée in your hometown!”

  Liu Yuan was taken aback by these words, and hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Ji Caimai, what do you think of me as a nasty person? What I mean by recognition is true recognition, not random recognition."

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly pulled Ji Caimai and whispered a few words in his ear, and after talking about what happened at Zhaoji restaurant that day, he couldn't help rubbing his chin, and said: "It seems that that wicked woman is I can't tolerate her! Fortunately, she is good at cooking, and she joined our public kitchen... Hey, that's not right! If so, then fried noodles with eggs..."

Thinking of the pumpkin pie I ate yesterday, and remembering the scent I smelt first, as well as Lin Shaoqing’s egg fried noodles that had the same ingredients as theirs but seemed like two kinds of food... Liu Yuan twitched Mouth.

  Everything can be connected in series, which makes sense.

   It's not that Shangfeng tastes strange, it's that what he eats is not the same as what they eat.

  Thinking of this, Liu Yuan was even more annoyed: I knew that the new public chef Chaoshi was this Master Wen, and he came early, so why bother to spend so much money?

   Just as she was thinking, the sweet and salty rice **** arranged side by side were ready and placed in the food box brought by Zhao You while the girl was twisting and rolling.

  Looking at a box full of fried rice balls, even Wen Mingtang couldn't help but glance at the happy Zhao You, and said, "The rice **** are full, I'm afraid three people won't be able to eat them..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a burst of laughter coming from behind Zhao You, Wen Mingtang looked up, but saw a familiar face protruding from behind Zhao You, he laughed and said: "It's not three people, it's two people! The appetite for this rammed goods is worth several people! Master Wen, don't worry!"

  Wen Mingtang looked at the person who made the sound, bowed to him and saluted him, and said, "I have to thank Liu Sicheng for helping me last time!"

  I had a dispute with Mrs. Liu last time. If Liu Yuan were gone, I'm afraid it would cause a lot of trouble for nothing.

  Liu Yuan quickly waved his hand and said: "It's okay, let's not talk about the kind of road that was said in the book, and he drew his sword to help. Just say that the road is unjust, false, and wrong, which is what a Dali Temple prime minister should do."

   While talking, Zhao You had already run away with the food box, Ji Caimai also surrounded him, looked at the side dishes in each bowl with great interest, and asked, "Is this the fried rice ball?"

  Wen Mingtang nodded: "I prepared two kinds, both salty and sweet."

   "Then get one of each!" Ji Caimai looked at the side dishes full of side dishes and said, "There is no taboo."

   Liu Yuan on the side also nodded and said, "I'll have one too, there's no taboo."

The girl nodded, spread out the wet cloth, and put the fried dough sticks, meat floss, egg shreds, and sour cowpea on the flattened rice in turn. The two people who were looking at the full side dishes couldn't help pinching for her Khan, I'm afraid I can't pack it in. Fortunately, a damp cloth was placed behind him, and the viscosity of the glutinous rice was not bad, so he actually wrapped up such a large roll of side dishes.

  When the wet cloth was removed and the sliced ​​noodles were revealed, the two couldn't help but take half of it and started eating.

   The moment he took a bite, Liu Yuan couldn't help but let out a sigh of satisfaction.

The outermost layer of glutinous rice is soft and glutinous, with a moderate viscosity. Next is the salty and crispy meat floss, which is mixed with the aroma of white sesame to whet the appetite. The two of them finally ate the twisted fried dough sticks today, which are crispy on the outside. , with a moist and tough taste inside, without the slightest greasy feeling of ordinary twisted seeds, but with a unique flavor, and then the hot and sour cowpea, biting down, the overflowing juice splashed into the tender yellow egg shreds, It adds a unique flavor to the egg shreds.

   Layers of side dishes are all rolled together, but each taste is distinct, but they don't conflict. Instead, they are mixed together, and the taste is rich and wonderful, which is indescribable.

  The two of them ate one mouthful after another. When the girl handed over half of the sweet rice ball, only the last bit of the salty rice ball was eaten.

   Stuffing the last sporadic bits into their mouths, the two couldn't wait to take the half of the sweet rice ball.

  The sweet and sweet glutinous rice **** mixed with sesame seeds are not as rich as the salty ones, but they have a different flavor. After all, no sweet lover will refuse the combination of glutinous rice and white sugar, not to mention the rich sesame aroma added in it.

  When the two of them finished eating and made rice **** and walked outside the public kitchen, they looked at each other in unison, showing satisfied smiles.

Liu Yuan burped, glanced at Wen Mingtang and the others in the public kitchen who were starting to clean up the countertops, winked at Chao Ji Caimai, and said, "Old Ji! Master Wen's Chaoshi is delicious, and your ingredients have to be given She prepares more, so that she can do it more conveniently! It is a waste for that surnamed Sun and Wang with the same surname! No matter how good the ingredients are in the hands of those two, they will be turned into pig bran."

Ji Caimai gave him a sideways look, and said, "What do you say? Otherwise, where did the meat floss in the rice ball come from? Didn't I **** it from Wang Junshan's mouth? Don't worry! I know it for this food! "

Hearing him say "there are a few", Liu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the sun gradually climbing to the center of the top of his head, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It would be great if Master Wen could also cook the lunch and evening meals." ah!"
