Dali Temple Small Dining Room

  Chapter 248 Millet rice cracker Caramel milk tea (1)

  Any afternoon snacks today? Liu Yuan's eyes lit up immediately.

  The public chef of Dali Temple is only responsible for providing three meals a day for the guards and officials, and snacks are not included! However, since Master Wen came, he occasionally made some snacks based on the lack of ingredients in the warehouse and the fact that the ingredients could not be stored for a long time.

  After the takeaway stalls opened, most of the snacks went into the takeaway stalls, and only when I made new snacks, I could taste some.

In my impression, the snacks last time were for them to peel off two fried chestnuts in sugar when they were free. Right now, the takeaway stalls are still selling them. When Yu Jijiu next door comes over for dinner, he likes to take some back with him. , while doing things, while eating.

Thinking of the aroma of the sugar-fried chestnuts, Liu Yuan couldn't help drooling. While reluctant to put down the rice bowl in his hand, he looked at Zhao You who was holding the food box, and said, "Open it and see what is it. What to eat!"

  Before Zhao You opened his mouth, he heard Lin Fei, who was eating the pot-wrapped meat slowly, said: "The Zhuangzi didn't send any seasonal items today..."

  If Zhuangzi sends seasonal items, such as chestnuts, pears, etc., the public chef will often "source materials nearby" to make some snacks.

"I didn't bring any seasonal items, but I made snacks on purpose," Lin Fei said, looking at the puffy piece of pot-packed meat on his chopsticks, "It's probably because it took a lot of oil to make pot-packed meat, and Master Wen felt overwhelmed." It's a pity, so I took advantage of this time to make some snacks like twists!"

  The consumption of the public kitchen can be reported, but the money allocated by the court should not be wasted indiscriminately, and the word "saving" should be remembered.

  Even if he is not investigating cases right now, but just eating, some habits have already been integrated into his bones.

  Liu Yuan glanced at Shangfeng, who didn't realize it. Obviously, he hadn't enjoyed the bowl of pot-packed meat, and he was still thinking about the twist, so he hurriedly urged Zhao You to open it.

"Master Wen said that the name of this snack is millet rice crust, and that rice crust is the word 'crispy rice' that we ate with cured meat claypot rice last time," Zhao You said as he lifted the lid, and the oily aroma of twisted seeds was accompanied by a spicy, spicy taste. The aroma of barbarian spices such as cumin, pepper and salt came out of the food box, and he looked down at the square-sized "square pieces" in the oil paper bag, and said, "It's different from the claypot rice. "

  Several packets of rice crackers are wrapped in oiled paper, but the top is left open, which seems to be used for heat dissipation. Because of Zhao You's fast walking, he could still feel a little warmth through the oil paper: the first pot of millet crisps was here.

The scorched yellow rice crust is thin, but the surface is uneven. You can feel the rough unevenness with your fingertips. It is covered with finely chopped Huren sprinkles: the smell of cumin and salt and pepper hits your face. .

After counting the heads, Liu Yuan realized that each person could get two packages: one package of cumin, one package of salt and pepper, and a folded oil paper bag inside. When he opened the oil paper bag, he found that it was ground pepper The color is pink and red, and Liu Yuan is afraid and wants to try it.

  The specially prepared chili powder is for them to pick and choose, but Lin Fei's two packs don't have such concerns. The cumin and salt and pepper are placed separately, but the chili powder is sprinkled into it early.

  Looking at the crispy rice that is obviously different in color from the one in the oil paper bag next to it, I think it is not for those who eat mildly spicy food like them.

   Swallowing, not daring to try it casually, Liu Yuan hastily swallowed the last two bites of food in the food box. After the CD, he brought over his two packets of millet rice crackers.

  Bai Zhu who hadn't finished eating at the side also immediately reached out and brought over his two packs of millet rice crackers: Although the ones in the bowl have not been eaten yet, you can get the ones in the food box first!

   After all the rice crusts were collected, after lunch, Liu Yuan, who was belching his stomach, couldn't help staring at the next layer of the food box.

  This food box is divided into upper and lower layers. The upper layer is obviously shorter than the lower layer. Right now, two packs of rice crackers for the next person have been received, but the lower layer has not been opened yet. Obviously, the lower layer still has food to eat.

   "Zhao You, don't give up, what's on the lower floor?" Liu Yuan said.

   Right now, his stomach is full and there is no room for food, but he is not full, so it does not prevent him from thinking about these snacks in advance.

  Zhao You glanced at Liu Yuan, lifted the lid, and said: "Today's snack is not only the twisted rice such as millet rice crust, but also a drink called caramel milk tea!"

  The lid of the food box was lifted, and several green bamboo tubes were neatly lined up in the food box on the lower floor, and a thin bamboo tube was tied next to each bamboo tube.

   "That name is called a straw!" Zhao You pointed to the bamboo pipe and said, "It's open inside, just use this to drink milk tea!"

   As he spoke, he brought out two servings of caramel milk tea, one for himself and one for Lin Fei, and then walked away with his own snack!

  Liu Yuan shook his head: He didn't expect that Zhao You, who was single-minded, would "know the ways of the world".

  At this time, although the stomach is still very full and there is no room left, but... through the bamboo tube, you can still feel the heat of the milk tea in the bamboo tube. I couldn't help it, so Liu Yuan opened the lid of the bamboo tube, wanting to take a look.

   Don't eat it yet, it doesn't matter if you look at it!

  The moment the lid was opened, a strong fragrance gushed out from the bamboo tube.

This scent was so familiar, Liu Yuan took a deep breath, and sighed intoxicatedly: "It seems that there is a hint of tea scent mixed in the frankincense, not only the tea scent, but also a sweet scent, but it is not the taste of fine sugar, but …but it is very similar to the caramel aroma that Master Wen smelled when he was making sugar-fried chestnuts last time. This caramel milk tea seems to combine all the aromas together, this aroma… this aroma…”

   “It’s so unique and too…”

   "Hiss!" Compared to Liu Yuan who was still feeling intoxicated, Bai Zhu, who was silent at the side, had already inserted the thin bamboo tube into the rich milk tea.

  Although there seems to be no room left in the stomach, the "belly" can always be squeezed out, at least one or two sips of milk tea should be squeezed out.

  So while Liu Yuan was still in the gap between "long speeches", Bai Zhubian couldn't help taking a sip of milk tea from the thin bamboo tube, and then...

  The slightly hot milk tea is sucked into the mouth, with the smooth, unique milk, caramel and tea aroma, as well as the "hot" heat.

Bai Zhu, who originally wanted to drink a "preemptive opportunity" secretly, was betrayed by the "hot" sip, and there was a hot "hiss", which alarmed Zhao You, who was still holding the bamboo tube and was intoxicated with emotion, beside Liu Yuantong. People looked here one after another.

  Looking at Bai Zhu who was so hot that he couldn't stop sticking out his tongue, and "hissing" inhale, Liu Yuan couldn't help laughing and said, "Bai Zhu, I never thought you would have today!"

The one who is always impulsive on weekdays will inevitably be held back by the more "steady" Bai Zhu and say "wait". Now, Liu Yuan, who has rarely caught this opportunity, can't help coughing, Pretending to be old-fashioned: "Isn't it just a caramel milk tea! What's the rush? Haven't eaten it?"

"I haven't eaten it yet!" Lin Fei answered leisurely after finishing his lunch, and then, under the gaze of everyone, he opened the lid of the milk tea. With Bai Zhu's "hot mouth" first, Lin Fei Fei didn't use a straw, but took a sip from the side of the bamboo tube, squinted his eyes, nodded and said, "This milk tea tastes good!"
