Chapter 121 Egg Rolls (1)
The officials of Dali Temple and the guards went to the Yishan Mountain and brought back another "murderer". This time the "murderer" was a nun wearing a robe but with an unshaven head.
They bumped into Liu Yuan and his party who were bringing back the "murderer". Because of this "painted skin" case, he was also the first "eyewitness" to discover the deceased. The glutinous rice balls that were about to leave rarely stopped and ate them. Wen Mingtang made new snacks while looking curiously at Liu Yuan who was bringing someone over.
The snack is like a rolled up paper, with an empty middle and rolled up on the outside. It has a zong-yellow appearance and thick black sesame seeds evenly embedded inside. You can already smell the rich aroma even before you get close. It smells of egg and frankincense.
Looking at the glutinous rice balls, he took a bite of the "small paper roll"-like snack, and the sound of "click" sounded immediately. It sounded like it was crunchy. With each bite, countless crumbs fell down and rustled. More of what fell on the ground stuck to Tang Yuan’s mouth and face.
The little girl ate happily one bite at a time. Looking at her mouth and face full of crumbs, she knew she had eaten a lot.
The rich egg fragrance and the crunchy sound of "cracking" are really tempting. When he passed by the glutinous rice balls, Liu Yuan couldn't help but take out the handful of "small rolls" held in the little girl's hand. I took a roll and couldn't wait to bite it.
The sweet and rich aroma of egg and milk fills your mouth. The crispy texture is somewhat similar to the "thin crisp" in multi-grain pancakes, but it is different from the "thin crisp" texture. There is a slight difference in softness, hardness and crunchiness. .
Liu Yuan ate so much that he looked at his mouth bulging and stared angrily at his glutinous rice balls. After finishing a small "roll paper", he licked his fingers with unfinished content and asked her: "What is this?" The snacks made by Master Wen? I will go to the public kitchen to get some later!"
"This is called an egg roll. Zhuangzi sent some milk today. It said it would spoil if you don't drink it all, so Master Wen made this snack called an egg roll and will deliver it to everyone soon." Tang Yuan said , raised a finger towards Liu Yuan and said, "If you eat one of my egg rolls, remember to give it back when you get your own share!"
Yo! This little girl is quite stingy! Liu Yuan shook his head, faced Tang Yuan who was staring at him, and said helplessly: "Okay! I remember, I will return it to you later."
That's pretty much it! Tangyuan retracted her fingers, pursed her lips at Jinghui, who was being taken to the prison, and asked in a low voice: "Is this the murderous painted-skinned monster?"
Kill people, kill people, what kind of monster is this? Liu Yuan spread his hands helplessly. If monsters really killed people, what would they do to Dali Temple? Just find a few Taoist priests and let them practice searching for people!
Just as Liu Yuan was about to ask Tang Yuan to stop talking about monsters and shut up about monsters, he heard a voice behind him.
"The case is not over yet. Whether it is the painted-skinned monster or not will only be known after the case is over." Lin Fei, who came up from behind at some point, glanced at the glutinous rice balls and paused for a moment while his eyes fell on the egg roll in her hand.
Tangyuan, who noticed Lin Fei's gaze, had just fought with Liu Yuan for even an egg roll. Now seeing Lin Fei looking at the egg roll in his hand, he immediately generously dropped a handful of egg rolls in his hand. Half of it was given to Lin Fei, and he took the initiative to ask: "Does Lin Shaoqing eat egg rolls? Master Wen makes them with milk and eggs."
Lin Fei nodded, took the egg roll, said "thank you", then looked up at Liu Yuan and reminded him: "Return the egg roll to the dumpling later."
With the command to go to the top, I'm afraid I won't be able to let go of that egg roll! Liu Yuan said "Yes" with a grimace, and then heard Lin Fei say: "Go to the Chang'an government office again!"
Huh? Just investigate the case. Why go to the Chang'an government office?
Lin Fei looked at Liu Yuan who looked puzzled and said: "Check the disappearance cases in the past few years!"
Why did a well-established homicide investigation suddenly become involved in a disappearance case?
The glutinous rice balls on the side were eating the egg rolls in their hands, and listened curiously with their eyes wide open.
When she was listening carefully, she saw Lin Fei shook his head towards her and said, "Go and help Master Wen make egg rolls! Don't stay here anymore."
Tangyuan opened his mouth and was about to say something when he heard Lin Fei say again: "I will tell you when I catch the painted-skinned monster."
This sentence completely dispelled Tangyuan's worries, and the little girl immediately said "yes" and ran away happily.
It seems that he really thinks that the murderer is a painted-skinned monster! Liu Yuan looked at Tangyuan running away excitedly, helplessly raised his forehead, and sighed: "If we can catch a monster, those Taoist priests will be the happiest! In the future, Dali Temple may be directly transformed into a monster-suppressing one. Secretary and so on, they all rely on tricks to find the murderer!"
Those who enter Dali Temple do not believe that there are ghosts and murderers in the world. Those who pretend to be gods and ghosts will be proven to be man-made in the end.
I originally thought that as soon as I said these words, I would be affirmed by the superiors. After all, who would take it seriously when trying to coax a child?
Unexpectedly, just thinking like this, Lin Fei on the side spoke and urged again: "You should also go to the Chang'an government office and borrow the files of the disappearance cases reported in the past few years, so that the painted-skinned monster can be arrested as soon as possible. Bring it to justice!”
After saying this, Lin Fei turned and left.
The painted-skinned monster opens its mouth, and the painted-skinned monster closes its mouth. It sounds like there really is a painted-skinned monster! Half of Tang Yuan’s children are no longer here! Liu Yuanxin said, went back to the lobby, asked Wei Fu not to forget to get his share of egg rolls for him, and then hurriedly led the people out of Dali Temple.
The glutinous rice balls went out for a spin and came back. Wen Mingtang was still making egg rolls. He took a spoonful of the egg roll batter mixed with milk, eggs, flour, cooked black sesame seeds, and oil and poured it into the pot. Then he quickly flattened it and left it until it was almost done. , use chopsticks to quickly roll up the batter into a "little book" shape.
The freshly made egg rolls are still soft, but when they cool down, they become crispy and ready to eat.
The public kitchen was filled with the aroma of egg rolls. Ji Caimai and A Bing were helping to divide the egg rolls. If they couldn't bear the aroma that filled their noses, they would pick up one and walk aside to eat. Satisfy cravings.
When handling the milk, Ji Caimai said that this sweet snack with the fragrance of milk and eggs would only be liked by children like A Bing and Tangyuan. But when the egg rolls were ready, he immediately slapped him in the face. , even an adult like him would like to eat it once in a while!
When the last egg roll was ready, Wen Mingtang stood up. When he was about to go with A Bing and Tang Yuan to deliver the egg rolls, Zhao You came over.
As soon as he stepped through the door of the public kitchen, he heard Zhao You's loud voice: "Take mine and Lin Shaoqing's share, and then take two back home!" With that, he handed over the dime of silver he had prepared.
Looking at the money handed over, Tang Yuan and Ah Bing didn't feel strange anymore. After all, they had already made it once yesterday, so they packed the egg rolls in oil paper bags without thinking. Wen Mingtang looked at Ji Caimai next to him. But they were suddenly startled, and the two of them glanced at each other subconsciously: an idea came to them spontaneously.
