Chapter 106 Umeboshi Pancake (3)

"In today's funeral customs in the Jiangnan area, is the high stool next to the coffin a long stool or a short stool?" Wen Mingtang looked at Lin Fei and asked seriously, "I have seen in Chang'an City these days that the custom in Chang'an City is to place a long stool. I don’t know the Jiangnan generation..."

"Short stool." Lin Fei said lightly, "I have been to Jiangnan, and it is slightly different from Chang'an."

When Wen Mingtang heard this, he suddenly realized and said "Oh".

Lin Fei looked at the girl's thoughtful look, paused for a moment, thought about it, and then said: "Your ex-fiancé is not suitable for you."

The girl nodded in agreement, her eyes flickering as if she was thinking about something. After a moment of pause, she said, "I think so."

When Lin Fei saw this, he added: "I have never been in contact with him, but I think he is sentimental and cowardly, and he seems to have no responsibility."

The girl nodded again, paused, rubbed her chin, and said, "More than that, it's quite shameless."

The dream that had troubled her for a long time, although there had been speculations from letters "personally addressed by sister Mingtang", it had not been confirmed yet.

At the moment, Lin Fei's words made her sure of one thing. The "young master" mentioned by the two maids who killed the original owner in the dream was probably the talented scholar Ye.

She closed her eyes and could probably guess what the original owner had experienced.

After a lot of bumps and bruises, he finally got out of the palace, without any relatives, and coincidentally, he went to the south of the Yangtze River with the letters that only missed her, and then met the passionate and cowardly Ye Da. Talent.

She didn't feel any unnecessary emotions in the girl in the dream, and she didn't have any feelings for Ye Dacaizi.

She could imagine what it would be like for an unaccompanied and helpless girl to go to the south of the Yangtze River and meet the passionate Ye Dacai. The girl in the dream had begun to look good, so it was no surprise that Ye Dacai would not let go of his former fiancée due to his character.

That's fine if you like her and are responsible, or if you know you can't marry a girl, it's fine to let her go voluntarily.

On the one hand, he refused to let him go, and on the other hand, he provoked a powerful daughter of a powerful man.

He knew that he had provoked the daughter of a powerful man, but he refused to let her go. He even resorted to a trick of "faking death". No one with any sense in the house would agree to such a thing that would cause trouble. He himself is not the one who says everything in the house, so he doesn't blame the people in the house for taking action.

Seeing Wen Mingtang's calm look, Lin Fei retracted his gaze from the letter and glanced at the incense burner.

Just as Wen Mingtang was waiting for him to ask about her family's past, she heard Lin Fei suddenly ask her: "What would a girl who suddenly lost her parents do and has no one else to do?"

Are you asking her? Wen Mingtang was stunned for a moment, recalled the memory of the original owner, and said: "At first, I would secretly hide in bed and cry, but later I only dared to suppress my sadness in my heart. I had no time to think about this anymore, because I had to work hard to survive. "

In life, isn’t what ordinary people want just to live?

Lin Fei frowned, obviously not very satisfied with her answer.

Seeing this, Wen Mingtang thought for a while and said, "Everyone is different. If Lin Shaoqing wants to ask others, he shouldn't ask me."

When Lin Fei heard this, he paused, thoughtfully, and said, "It's indeed different. Your family suffered a disaster, but hers is different."

Who is she referring to? Wen Mingtang looked at Lin Fei curiously, but Lin Fei didn't say much, just shook his head, turned and left.

It’s the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, and at this hour, I’m still staying in Dali Temple! Don't Lin Shaoqing's family members know how to speak? It's not like her, who is alone. Wen Mingtang thought.

As Wen Mingtang thought, Lin Fei was indeed questioned when he returned to Jingyun Hou Mansion.

"Why are you coming back so late?" Zheng, the wife of Marquis Jingyun, finally waited for someone to arrive. She made a special trip to Lin Fei's yard and said, "The family is having dinner, but you are not here."

"Didn't I tell someone to come back?" Lin Fei heard this and said, "There is a case at hand to deal with."

"Case, case, case, case, case, case, case?" Mrs. Zheng glanced at Lin Fei complainingly, but after all, she felt sorry for her son. Before Lin Fei could speak, she said, "Twilight Shi..."

"Have eaten the evening meal." Lin Fei said, paused, met Zheng's gaze, and said solemnly, "What mother said is wrong. The criminal will not stop committing the case just because of the festival. The case at hand is a bit troublesome. , if it is not resolved as soon as possible, people will still die."

Zheng was choked by Lin Fei's words. Looking at her son's calm and cold expression, she couldn't help but hold her forehead. Finally, she sighed helplessly and said, "Afei! You are always on the case. Let’s start thinking about marriage!”

When Lin Fei heard this, he glanced at Zheng and said, "Mother, brother, you are not in a hurry. My matter is not in a hurry."

The ball is kicked very fast!

Zheng: "..."

After Zheng's words were blocked, Zheng shook her head helplessly and turned around to go to her eldest son's yard.

…

The morning meal on the first day after the Dragon Boat Festival is prune pancakes, which are leftovers from Master Sun’s waste yesterday.

Wen Mingtang rolled out the dough filled with prunes and vegetables with a rolling pin, put it into the cylindrical cake oven and baked it.

Many people in Dali Temple have seen this cylindrical cake oven. The first few public chefs and even Sun and Wang have used this large cylindrical cake oven.

However, the baked pancakes were not very good. When he saw Wen Mingtang baking pancakes in the large pancake oven, even Liu Yuan, who had come to get the morning meal the most actively, stopped subconsciously and said to Wen Mingtang: "Master Wen, This cake..."

Wen Mingtang glanced at him. It happened that the first batch of plum and vegetable cakes was almost done. She opened the stove lid, looked at the plum and vegetable cakes attached to the furnace wall, and handed the plum and vegetable cakes she took out from the oven over.

The aroma of roasted prunes mixed with wheat and sesame filled the air, and the people waiting in line behind the hook moved their index fingers.

Pancakes are very common. Not only can they be found everywhere on the streets, but even public chefs have made them several times.

However, this is the first time I have seen this pancake stuffed with prunes and vegetables.

Someone poked his head and looked at Liu Yuan, who was the first to get the cake. Even through the oil paper bag, the freshly baked plum and vegetable cake was still very hot to the touch.

The long tongue-shaped Umeboshi Pancake has a paper-thin crust and is sprinkled with a layer of roasted white sesame seeds. Through the paper-thin crust, you can see a layer of Umeboshi inside.

Regardless of the fact that it was hot to his hands, Liu Yuan bit into it under the envious gazes of his colleagues.

With a "click" sound, the crispiness of the pie crust can be heard from the sound. Under the crispy pie crust is a filling of plum pickles. The crust is crispy, but the pickled pickles inside are moist and soft. It is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It has a salty aroma with a hint of sweetness, and the unique taste will make you want it more. .

Liu Yuan was happily eating the prune pancake, but Zhao You suddenly rushed in from outside the kitchen at this moment, grabbed him and hurried out: "Eat while walking! Another person died!"
