A person who likes to be clean and does not like to pile up waste in the house will definitely clean up the house when he leaves for a long trip.

Lin Shaoqing knew this just by looking at them. Every time when he returned from the Yamen, he would empty out the used paper and the charcoal pots that had been burned in the winter, tidy them up, and place everything neatly before leaving.

Seeing that the pens, inks, paper and inkstones in Steward Niu's house were all arranged in an orderly manner without any skew, and after hearing this information from the servants, Wei Fu thought there was something wrong with the charcoal basin at the first sight and wanted to take it away.

return.

Fortunately, the servant at the Internal Affairs Office was greedy for money and felt that the unpacked charcoal basin was not an important item, so he asked Wei Fu to take the charcoal basin away directly.

Everything in the charcoal basin was burned until only ashes were left, but Wei Fu was very careful in moving the charcoal basin and did not scatter the charcoal ash in the charcoal basin. Therefore, all the charcoal ash remained in its original shape.

.

Under some scattered pieces of ash on the surface is a complete square-sized piece of ash. The size and shape of the ash are so familiar that any Dali Temple official would be familiar with it.

Liu Yuan only glanced at it and blurted out immediately: "I thought it was a piece of paper and it was burned."

As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of wind blew up, and all the square-sized pieces of complete ash were blown into the air. The crumbs were flying one after another, and there was only a pile of messy ashes left in the charcoal basin.

Looking at this fleeting scene, Liu Yuan sighed for no reason.

Of course, the crumbs and ashes cannot be used as evidence. With or without the gust of wind, the charcoal basin cannot be brought to the court, but to the officials of Dali Temple, the intact crumbs are not useless.

The last thing that Manager Niu did before leaving the Internal Affairs Yamen was to look at the things on this piece of paper. After reading it, he immediately burned the things on this piece of paper. He didn't even have time to throw it away and then hurried out of the door.

Haven't returned yet.

As for Guanshi Niu's hometown and where he went back to his hometown, these Wei Fus had naturally inquired about it. After recording everything they learned and handing it over to Liu Yuan and others, Wei Fu said again: "I heard that when Guanshi Mao didn't move out of the yard,

, Manager Niu also has a good relationship with him. After all, we live under the same roof. Because Manager Niu likes to be clean and tidy, he will often help Manager Mao, who is too lazy to clean up, to clean up the house."

Compared with Niu Guanshi, who likes to do everything by himself, Mao Guanshi is obviously a pleasure-seeking person. If someone does the work for him, he is naturally happy to see the results.

"Guanshi Mao has plenty of money. He often brings food from places like Hongyan Building and gifts to Guanshi Niu, which he pays for the hard work of cleaning up the house. The two of them can be considered harmonious." Wei Fu said, "But just wait.

After Manager Mao moved away, the two of them had little contact with each other over time because they were in charge of different things."

Although they both came to Chang'an Internal Affairs Yamen from other places to work as stewards, their circumstances were completely different: managing a market was very lucrative, and the dedication of the city magistrates was indispensable on weekdays. Although steward Mao also had other sources of money,

But as far as Steward Mao is concerned, how can he think that the money is too much? The distribution of water purification products managed by Steward Niu is completely worthless, and the servants, Li Zheng, will not go out of their way to honor Steward Niu for this.

A job of oil and water.

No wonder we are both stewards. One lives in a big house and is waited on, but the other still lives in the house where the steward of the internal affairs office lives.

"Guanshi Niu is just like Guanshi Mao," Wei Fu said, talking about Guanshi Niu's experience. "He also became a steward with some help from someone, but his life after becoming a steward was far inferior to that of Steward Mao.

This time it made the people upset and caused such a big commotion, but I don’t know what the reason was.”

When it comes to the last sentence, Wei Fu is also very puzzled: the well water is large, and the laxative is not very strong. He said that the cow steward wanted to kill people... but he didn't hear that anyone had an accident. The whole incident was loud and rainy.

But he quietly "returned to his hometown".

Since the two things are related, it must be that the manager Niu who "returned to his hometown" is not so easy to find. Everyone in Dali Temple knew this very well, but when he brought the purified water distributed by Wei Fu's home office,

After Wu returned to Dali Temple and confirmed that it was indeed the problem, he sent someone to Niu Guanshi's "hometown" to inquire about the situation.

At this point, the stomach upset issue has been clarified. As for the motive, it will only be clear after finding Niu Guan.

Wei Fu's discovery connected the two events. Although it was not clear what the connection was between the two foreign stewards, it also made progress for Yuzi.

】

With this discovery, I don't know what Lin Shaoqing's plans will be tomorrow.

Liu Yuan looked up at Shangfeng. After he came back from the mountain, he tidied up the files that were lying randomly on the bed. When Lin Fei finished tidying up, Liu Yuan was about to ask Lin Fei about his arrangements for tomorrow, but his arm was accidentally touched by Bai Zhu.

bump.

Liu Yuan looked at Bai Zhu without knowing why, only to see Bai Zhu shake his head towards him. Then before Bai Zhu could say anything, he heard Lin Fei, who was packing up the table in the room, say: "I will have a banquet for guests at my house tomorrow.

It’s up to you to make the decision regarding my son’s affairs!”

With that said, he handed the leave note he had written long ago into Bai Zhu's hand, asked him to deliver it to Zhao Mengzhuo, and left.

Liu Yuan couldn't help but take a breath as he walked away so neatly. He pushed Bai Zhu's hand and said, "This is the first time I've seen our Lin Shaoqing leave like this when the project has made progress."

Simply, just... let it go like this?"

Bai Zhu also had some doubts on his face, but he still shook his head and said, "Well, since Lin Shaoqing asked me to make the decision myself, I should check something out tomorrow, otherwise when Lin Shaoqing comes back and asks about it the next day, I will

I’m afraid I’m going to lose all my face!”

The chief minister of Dali Temple is not a drunkard.

Just as he was thinking this, Liu Yuan, who was listening to the side, suddenly let out an "Oh" and sighed: "I almost forgot that there will be a banquet at Lin Shaoqing's house tomorrow, and Master Wen is not in the kitchen either. I'm afraid there won't be any new dishes to try tomorrow!

"The tone was quite regretful.

Bai Zhu: "..." Although the Prime Minister of Dali Temple is not a wine bag, he is always thinking about eating in his mind.

Wen Mingtang, who was nudged by Liu Yuan, handed over the menu for tomorrow's three meals from the public kitchen to Tang Yuan and A Bing, and went to prepare for tomorrow's family banquet at Jingyun Hou Mansion.

Compared with the big pot dishes served by the public chef, these banquet dishes are more meticulous and exquisite, taking into account the tastes of the host and guests. Every dish is very particular. In the afternoon, people from the Jingyun Hou Mansion even went out to serve the guests.

One time, I asked Wen Mingtang to bring some red yeast rice. He said that there was no rice in Marquis Jingyun's mansion, and he didn't know if there was a public chef in Dali Temple.

There will be a braised pork dish at tomorrow's banquet, which needs to be colored with red yeast rice to make the color more red and bright.

Braised pork is a very common dish, but every cook has different preferences in terms of color and taste.

It is also very common to like to use red yeast rice to color meat dishes. There are many chefs in the city who add red yeast rice to braised pork. Moreover, it is the chef Xing who makes this dish, so Wen Mingtang will naturally not interfere.
