Lin Fei glanced at him and said nothing.

Li Yuan coughed and said: "Anyway, you agreed! Either give me the cook, or give me the menu...or I can ask Shuangxi to come here every morning to get the food for the court!"

"Well, can you ask the cook to cook not only morning meals, but also lunch and evening meals? Do you think it's feasible?"

Lin Fei didn't look at him, his eyes still fell on Li Zhao not far away, and said: "We must act according to the rules. She has cooked all three meals. What should we do with the remaining two?"

Li Yuan thought for a moment and said, "How about I have someone beat those two? Since we can't cook anymore, we can naturally let the cook do it."

Lin Fei glanced at him.

Li Yuan spread his hands, but he didn't take it seriously.

Madam Zhou passed away suddenly. She was celebrating her birthday yesterday, but today something like this happened. The Prince of Huaishan County and his family were standing there. Even when they were talking to Duke Jing, they could not hide the look of sadness on their faces.

Lin Fei stood behind Lin Nan, and his eyes fell on the Prince of Huaishan County who smiled a little far-fetchedly.

The reputation of the Huaishan County King lineage has always been good among the clan. Whether it is the old Huaishan County King, the current Huaishan County King, or even the prince's eldest son Li Zhao, they are all gentle and sensible people outside. For this, even in Pingxi

Li Yuan, who was born in a county prince's palace, also suffered from many disadvantages.

Today's Huaishan County Prince's wife is the legitimate daughter of Fan Yanglu's family, and she is quite famous both before and after her marriage. From the old Huaishan County Prince to the Huaishan County Prince, and then to Li Zhao, who got married just the year before last, none of them have ever

With such things as taking concubines and having intercourse with each other, this family can be regarded as a role model for the clan, regardless of their origin or virtue.

It's really... I can't believe there is any stain on it.

As night fell, more dignitaries came to express their condolences. Duke Jingguo, who had arrived early, left first and planned to wait a few days before the ceremony was completed before he came to see Mrs. Zhou off.

The Prince of Huaishan County could not get away, so he had to ask the steward of the palace to send the person out of the house.

After leaving the gate of Huaishan County Prince's Mansion, Lin Fei asked the steward who sent them out: "I remember that Mrs. Zhou's heart disease has not occurred for many years. Yesterday's birthday was supposed to be a happy event, but why did it suddenly occur?

Heart disease?"

The steward's surname was Song, and everyone in the Huaishan County Prince's Palace called him Steward Song. When Lin Fei asked, he said, "Maybe it's a hot and stuffy day, and the theater troupe caused trouble yesterday. People who are sick should be careful not to get emotional."

Lin Fei nodded when he heard this, looked at the haggard Manager Song in front of him, and asked: "I have seen that the prince and others treat you kindly. You have been in the prince's palace for many years, right?"

Manager Song nodded and said, "It's been more than thirty years. It's always a little sad when the old lady passes away."

Lin Fei nodded, turned around and followed Lin Nan and others.

…

…

When it was time to eat the morning meal again, Liu Yuan hurried into Dali Temple and met Bai Zhutong and Wei Fu who had already finished eating. The two of them were discussing with satisfied faces the court food that the chef had just finished.

"I ate twenty-five fried dumplings." Bai Zhu said to Wei Fu, he couldn't help but rub his belly and said with emotion, "Actually, I can still eat some, but Ji Cai bought it there and was not allowed to take more!

"

Wei Fu nodded and said: "Old Ji is watching too closely, otherwise it won't be a problem for me to eat twenty more of them!"

Listening to the conversation between the two, Liu Yuan's feet stumbled and he almost fell.

Master Wen's cooking is delicious, but if you can eat more than twenty steamed buns... can these two people hold them in their stomachs? They don't have to worry about overstuffing them!

Bai Zhu and Wei Fu gave up and let him go to the public kitchen to have a look.

When Liu Yuan rushed to the public kitchen full of doubts, he immediately came to his senses when he saw the fried pancakes in the big iron pot: each small one was slightly larger than a human thumb, and the cooking method was similar to the fried pancakes from the previous chapter.

There is a layer of black sesame seeds and chopped green onion sprinkled on top, but there is no dipping sauce like last time. It seems to be put directly into the mouth.

"I had a big one a few days ago, is it a small one this time?" Liu Yuan asked curiously.

Wen Mingtang smiled as he, Ah Bing and Tang Yuan took the daily dumpling wrappers and fried them, and said, "This one is a little different from last time."

"The sizes are different!" Liu Yuan looked at the more than twenty pan-fried buns stacked on the plate and muttered, "No wonder Bai Zhu and Wei Fu can eat twenty or thirty of them in one meal! It turned out to be such a mouthful.

one."

Ji Cai, the buyer on the side, held a bamboo stick with five or six fried fish skewered on it like a barbecue skewer, and was biting one bite at a time.

Seeing such bold and novel ways of eating, Liu Yuan suddenly became interested. He asked Wen Mingtang for a bamboo stick, walked to the food table and sat down, then took a bamboo stick and filled it up in one go, then bit into it.

The dumpling skin is thin and yet tough. The moment you tear the skin open with your teeth, you can feel the small ball of meat filling with gravy gushing out. Liu Yuanzhen was really curious about how Wen Mingtang mixed the gravy with such a thumb-sized pan-fried dish.

It's included.

There is no need to suck gently and carefully like eating Da Sheng Jian to prevent the gravy from overflowing. Liu Yuan takes one bite, and the salty and fresh gravy bursts out in his mouth. The taste is not inferior to Da Sheng Jian at all, but it is another way to eat Da Sheng Jian.

This kind of "generous", whether it is the toughness in the thin skin or the crispy bottom, together with the elastic meat filling, salty and fresh gravy, all the tastes are in one bite, and it is amazingly rich.

Liu Yuan couldn't stop eating, and the bamboo stick in his hand added a different kind of interest to the way he ate. After eating more than twenty fried buns in one go and sweeping away all the fried buns on the plate, Liu Yuan turned around

Look towards the countertop.

Not only the iron pot, but even the countertop was empty.

Ji Caimai bit off the last fried thumb on the bamboo stick and looked at him: "But don't think that everyone eats too much and eats fast!" He said, licking his lips, pointing to Liu Yuan's own empty plate, and said

, "You eat a lot too!"

Liu Yuan: "..."

Okay! We all ate a lot, so don’t blame anyone!

Liu Yuan left the public kitchen and went to see Lin Fei with Bai Zhu holding the file.

"We went to the inn yesterday. Lin Shaoqing was right. That lucky boy is indeed illiterate," Liu Yuan said.

Lin Fei said "Hmm" and looked at Bai Zhu who was aside: "Where is Team Leader Huang?"

Bai Zhudao: "It's been confirmed! He is indeed a gambler, and those fingers were chopped off by himself when someone was collecting debts. It's a pity that it's useless for these people to chop off many fingers, and they still keep gambling!"

"He usually has a good face. After all, he is said to be the leader of a century-old opera troupe," Bai Zhu said. "The gold ring, fake writing and other things are his own facade. Those genuine ones left by his ancestors have long been

He sold what he sold, pawned it off, and spent almost all of it."

"A few days ago, because he refused to pay back the money, several gambling houses joined forces to block his people and threatened to send him down to see his ancestors!" Bai Zhu said, "Then Team Leader Huang made a decision on the spot to reassure them.

He said he already had a way to get money and asked them to give him a few days of grace."

"Of course the people in the gambling house wouldn't believe this kind of extension of a few days. Leader Huang simply reported a date directly. Lin Shaoqing, which day is it?"

When Lin Fei heard this, he raised his head for a moment and said, "Yesterday?"

"Lin Shaoqing's guess was correct, it was yesterday!" Bai Zhu said with emotion.
Chapter completed!
