Dali Temple Small Dining Room

  Chapter 359 Pork Stew Vermicelli (1)

  Mother went out to bring tea, but when she came back, she was empty-handed and there was no tea.

The young couple who were taking care of Mrs. Lu heard the movement, and when they turned their heads to see Xi Niang who came back empty-handed, they were a little surprised. Seeing that their mother's expression was wrong, they glanced at Mrs. Lu who was sleeping with her eyes closed on the bed, and they looked at each other. He got up and walked out of the house. Before leaving, he specially tucked the quilt for Mrs. Lu.

  The two generations were brought up under the care of Mrs. Lu, and they have always been very respectful and filial to this grandmother.

After leaving the house, Lu Ruchuan, the son of Xi Niang, asked his mother, "What's the matter with mother? Didn't you say to bring tea?" What happened.

Xi Niang looked at her son, stared blankly, and was about to speak, when her daughter-in-law Zhou said "ah", pointed at Qian Niang's hand, and exclaimed, "What's wrong with mother's hand? But it's burnt? Hurry up!" Wait and see with me!"

  Hearing what Mrs. Zhou said, Lu Ruchuan immediately blamed himself, looked down at his mother's red fingers, said "Yes, it's not", and stretched out his hand to Laxi Niang's hand to see the injury.

   It's just that I don't want to touch Qian Niang's fingers in the future, Xi Niang's fingers trembled, and she retracted all of a sudden: "Hands are fine."

   "Why does Wuhai mother look like this?" Lu Ruchuan obviously didn't believe it, and continued to reach out to La Xiniang's hand, "Mother, let me see!"

"It's not about the hands." Xi Niang glanced at her red fingers and smiled wryly. She raised her head and looked at her son and daughter-in-law. Although she was smiling, it was obviously uglier than crying. She looked at the two of them. , opened his mouth, his voice trembling: "Dali Temple...the people of Dali Temple have found Tong Wu."

  As soon as the name "Tong Wu" came out, the expressions of the young couple who were worried about Qian Niang's injury suddenly changed, and they subconsciously blurted out: "How could..."

  Before he finished speaking, he heard a voice behind him: "Have they found Tong Wu?" Compared with the panic of the children, grandchildren and daughter-in-law, this voice was very calm, and there was even a little emotion in the calm.

   "This day has finally come!"

  Xiniang looked up at the woman standing by the door, and murmured "Mother".

  The young couple also turned their heads and looked over after hearing the words, only to see Mrs. Lu who was still lying on the bed and fell asleep at some point had woken up at some point, and was standing by the door in her middle coat.

   I don't know whether it's because of the cold weather, or Mrs. Lu's health is not good. At this time, Mrs. Lu, who was standing by the door in a middle suit, looked extremely pale.

   "I can't hide it," Mrs. Lu shook her head and muttered, with a sad expression, "Since I did it, I can't hide it."

  …

  …

  Lin Fei watched Xi Niang walk away in a daze. Compared with the insincere inquiries when he met several times before, this time, he didn't open his mouth.

   After Xi Niang left, he turned around and went back to the yard: Mother's guest is obviously not a person who is good at acting, and it would be best to live a normal life. It's a pity... How many of those involved in such matters can escape?

   Rubbing the four-year official silver in his hand, Lin Fei lowered his eyes and remained silent.

  …

  Although I am in a hurry to take a trip to Xianyang, I still have time for lunch.

   "You can go on the road when you're full... Ah bah!" Liu Yuan said subconsciously, and when he realized that the words were not auspicious, he quickly slapped himself.

Bai Zhu glanced at him, shook his head, and said: "You need to eat fast for lunch, otherwise, you will arrive at Xianyang City in the middle of the night. Once you eat it, you have to blow a cold wind outside the city overnight, and you can only enter the city after dawn."

Liu Yuan let out a "hmm", rubbed his stomach, and turned to Bai Zhudao: "Don't worry, I'll save it! After running all morning, the three plum cakes in my stomach have already run away. I'm sure I won't be eating this lunch." Slow down!" While speaking, he had already stepped into the gate of Dali Temple.

  At this time, the time for lunch is over halfway. Since eating in the yamen is the most active habit, at this time, most people have already eaten lunch.

Their feet didn't stop, and their eyes didn't stop. They nodded and greeted the oncoming colleagues, and glanced at the faces of the colleagues who had lunch. The food should be good!

"It's almost Chinese New Year, and if you want to come to the public kitchen, you will pay more attention than usual!" Liu Yuan swallowed, smelling the smell of meat in the air, muttering "smell the smell", and walked quickly into the public kitchen .

As they thought, most people in the entire yamen had already eaten lunch, and the handyman had already started to clean up the food table at this time, and the glutinous rice **** and A Bing in that room were going to make the pot for the boneless chicken tenders and other snacks The utensils were brought out, obviously starting to prepare for the snacks to be sold after lunch.

   Seeing this, the two immediately called out to Wen Mingtang, who was still sitting behind the table and looking towards them with a smile: "Master Wen!"

  Wen Mingtang let out a "hey", put aside the notebook at hand, got off the homemade high stool, walked to the tray with empty bowls and plates in front of the counter, and started serving meals for the two of them.

   Estimating the food intake of the two of them, Liu Yuan had a bigger appetite than Bai Zhu, so Wen Mingtang put the rice and vegetables into the tray and pushed them over.

It is still the usual meat and vegetable combination with the same soup. It is not as expected to add two more dishes when the Chinese New Year is approaching. Today's lunch is still suspected of being fooled.

"Master Wen, this meat dish seems to be stewed indiscriminately." As an acquaintance, Liu Yuan was impolite, pointing to the meat dish, and said, "Although it smells delicious, but the pork, vermicelli, cabbage, and tofu... , looks like the dishes my mother cooked when she was lazy!"

  His mother sometimes didn't have time to cook, so everything was stewed in one pot, added some salt, and brought over. As for whether it was delicious or not, it all depended on God's will.

  Master Wen's big meat dish looks similar to his mother's dish today.

   Facing Liu Yuan's gaze as if he had seen through her, Wen Mingtang shook his head with a smile, and said, "Although it was true that this was a random stew at first, what I did today is really not!"

The glutinous rice **** and A Bing, who were putting the pot on the stove, also answered the conversation: "Master Wen made this vermicelli specially for this stewed pork vermicelli! Whether it is delicious or not, Liu Sicheng will know after eating it gone."

  Not as delicate as the usual meat dishes, today’s dish called Pork Stewed Vermicelli really seems to be the kind of home-cooked dish made at home.

  But the deliciousness of home-cooked dishes is not much better than that of fine dishes.

  The pork stewed vermicelli just out of the pot is still steaming. This pot of stewed vegetables is warm, and it is most suitable for eating in winter.

  After Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu, who "disliked" Wen Mingtang's fooling, sat down, their bodies still sincerely raised their chopsticks towards the "fooling dish".

Originally, he wanted to eat pork meat first according to his previous preference, but seeing the soup-filled, slippery vermicelli slipping down from the chopsticks, Liu Yuan stumbled into it for the first time, which looked the most similar. The side dish of "fooling" - vermicelli.
