MTL - Dali Temple Small Dining Room-Chapter 41 BBQ (4)
Chapter 41 Barbecue (4)
"Can it be fake?" Zhao You took out the waist card from his arms and showed it to everyone, especially holding it up to Ji Caimai, and said, "Did you see it? We Lin Shaoqing want to eat it!"
Ji Caimai couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth when he saw the proud Zhao You, waved his hand helplessly, and said, "...Forget it, take it away!"
After waiting for so long for the first plate of barbecue, I didn't even eat a bunch.
I have no choice but to wait for the second set. With Wen Mingtang's demonstration just now, several people also watched it, so they simply did it themselves and grilled together around the charcoal basin.
I don’t know if this barbecue is delicious, or if it’s something I baked by myself, it’s just delicious.
Waiting until the skewers were on the plate, Ji Caimai picked out a bunch of fat and thin pork belly and ate them. The fat of the fat meat is grilled, the outer skin is crispy, and the oil juice extruded from the thin layer of fat pork inside is eaten together with the lean meat. Spices such as cumin and pepper are mixed with the grilled pork, which stimulates the mouth and tongue. , can't stop.
It’s the first time I found that the pork belly is so delicious after being grilled! After eating pork belly, Ji Caimai picked out another bunch of grilled leeks.
Originally, based on Ji’s purchasing experience, these roasted vegetables must be very dry after being roasted to remove moisture, such as potatoes and lotus root slices, which are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, mixed with barbecue spices. It's delicious, it's not hard to imagine.
But Ji Caimai was really curious about what would happen to leeks and other leafy vegetables after they were roasted to remove the moisture.
So he opened his mouth and took a bite, and after bringing several pinches of leeks connected side by side on a stick into his mouth, Ji Caimai's eyes lit up. Roasted leeks are not inferior to those fried in heavy oil. The aroma of roasted leeks is completely stimulated. Compared with ordinary leeks, the taste is slightly burnt, mixed with barbecue spices sprinkled on the leaves, which is different from ordinary heavy oil. Stir-fried leeks are more similar to the taste of dry-stir-fried, but far more fragrant and unique than dry-stir-fried leeks.
When Ji Caimai came back to his senses, he had already eaten a bunch of leeks.
Ji Caimai was very addicted. The delicious food was more than leeks and pork belly. When the second plate was finished and it was time to turn to the third plate, someone rushed over smelling the smell.
"But tell me to catch up, hurry up and leave some for me to wait!"
Liu Yuan, Bai Zhu and Wei Fu hurriedly sorted out the files, and when they rushed over, they encountered a situation where several people were feasting.
Ah Bing ate with oil and barbecue spices all over his face, and explained vaguely: "This is called barbecue."
Looking at the bunches of grilled skewers lined up on the iron plate, Liu Yuan and the others couldn't bear it any longer. They said "Count me in" and sat down with their robes lifted.
Before coming, Liu Yuandang had already mentioned Wen Mingtang to Bai Zhu and Wei Fu, and they even asked her a few words about Zhao Ji restaurant.
After learning that she left on the day Liu was hit, the aged Wei Fu nodded and said, "Leave! It's meaningless to stay."
The woman who got hit by the board was full of malice towards her, the man pretended to be stupid, he was a wimp, the girl was nice, but her words were useless, and after all, one was her mother and the other was her father. How about two sentences?
If you stay any longer, I'm afraid there will be even more restlessness.
Looking at the familiar Liu Yuan and others, Ji Caimai snorted coldly and said, "You're welcome!"
For Ji Caimai, Liu Yuan and the others had already practiced their dough, so they laughed "haha" twice, and then took the barbecue that Wen Mingtang had baked and handed over.
After taking the first sip, there was a burst of exclamation and praise.
Wen Mingtang smiled and shook his head, went back to the public kitchen lobby, and brought over the chilled sour plum drink.
The moment the brown-red drink was poured out, Liu Yuan and the others, who were tortured by Master Sun and Master Wang's soup-like sour plum drink, quickly picked it up.
After taking a sip, Liu Yuan called out "Okay", and was even more annoyed when he thought of the package of sour plum drinks that he had given to Lin Fei.
Why did you only care about greed and laziness at that time, and didn’t leave a few packets to cook for yourself?
This sour plum drink is not only good-looking, but also tastes sweet and sour. The sourness of plums is matched with sweetness, but it is not unusually sweet. It seems to have a bit of sweetness of licorice in it.
Wen Mingtang was sitting by the charcoal basin, watching the people around him sitting on the floor, eating barbecue with sour plum drink, the smile on his face stretched out: This is called supper!
Since she came to Dayong, she hasn't experienced such a fireworks-filled supper scene for a long time.
When she was in the palace, there were quite a few rules for eating and drinking every day. Not to mention that it was only Zhao Sishan who was covering her, even a lady Zhao.
Holding up the meat skewer in his hand and taking a bite, feeling the tender and smooth pork meat, Wen Mingtang smiled and watched the few people around him chatting while eating.
Eat but not talk, what is supper?
As for the topic of conversation... a few Dali Temple Prime Ministers get together, what else can they talk about?
"This water ghost case is really annoying," Liu Yuan gnawed on the grilled wings on the skewer, spat out a bone, and sighed, "Then Mrs. Yan and He Xiaoniang, a noble girl and a commoner girl, both It's really pitiful to have such a family on the stand!"
Bai Zhu and Wei Fu, who were handling the case together, felt the same way, and nodded repeatedly holding skewers.
Ji Caimai, who specializes in eating pork belly, asked what happened.
Liu Yuan then told about Mrs. Yan and He Xiaoniang in the water ghost case that he found.
Everyone was stunned, and then sighed "It's not easy for women in this world", and after eating a few skewers, Liu Yuan drank the sour plum drink on hand, but remembered something, and couldn't help but feel sorry for her. Wen Mingtang said: "Master Wen, I suddenly have a question that I'm a little curious about. Of course, it's okay if Master Wen doesn't want to answer it."
As soon as these words came out, Wei Fu on the side glanced at the girl who was lowering her head to cook skewers for everyone, and she hadn't eaten a few bites, and said, "Then you better stop asking! I think your question is probably picking on people's pain." Asked."
After working together for several years, Wei Fu is also familiar with the temperament of several colleagues around him. He glanced at Wen Mingtang and vaguely guessed the question Liu Yuan wanted to ask.
Wei Fu was not the only one who guessed the question Liu Yuan wanted to ask, but Wen Mingtang, who was lowering his head while grilling, raised his head and smiled: "Liu Sicheng wanted to ask what happened in my family to become Liu's mouth." after the criminal judge?"
The incident that day was such a big deal, and her status as a criminal officer has already aroused the curiosity of these temple officials.
Putting the last large amount of roasted pork belly meat, leeks, potatoes, lotus root, and rice cakes into the iron plate, Wen Mingtang took off the white cloth covering his lips and nose, and said: "My grandfather, father, and two uncles lived together in Yongyuan. In the eighteenth year, he was convicted and executed. All the men of the clan were sent to the army. Girls over the age of ten entered the Jiaofang, and those under the age of ten entered the Yeting Court of the Palace. I was eight years old at the time. It was the same clan elder sister who was one year older than me who entered Yeting together."
Eighteen years of Yongyuan. Surnamed Wen.
In just two words, the faces of Liu Yuan, Bai Zhu, Wei Fu, Ji Caimai and others who were eating barbecue changed slightly, and they all stopped their movements and turned to the girl who picked up a skewer of pork belly. looked over.
The girl looked up, took a bite of the pork belly skewers in her hand, and smiled at them with a calm expression.
