Chapter 139 Crepe Wontons (2)

The cloud-like skin is so thin that it can be separated with just a sip. Although jokingly it sounds like eating the skin dry, it actually tastes different from eating the skin dry. The bit of pork wrapped in the cloud-like skin is tender and chewy, the skin is thin and the filling is tender, and the soup that is brought into the mouth with every bite is extremely delicious. , and then paired with various side dishes such as seaweed, shrimp skin, egg skin, pickled vegetables and other ingredients in the soup, the taste is amazingly rich.

Liu Yuan swallowed each small crepe wonton and said vaguely: "If the skin is so delicious, I won't eat meat!"

"Eat the skin dry, without that little bit of pork meat, the taste will be wrong!" Wei Fu, who was eating a small crepe wonton on the side, said with emotion, "The wonderful thing about Master Wen's bowl of small crepe wontons is that everything is just right. "

Wen Mingtang couldn't help but smile when he saw the crowded chef in front of him.

Only when there are no cases, this group of servants, temple ministers, and minor officials can sit here and eat the morning meal slowly.

When it was almost six o'clock and the morning meal was over, Wen Mingtang handed the food box to Zhao You who came to get the food box and said: "Take it back and heat the water and boil it. The soup stock is at the bottom."

Zhao You nodded and said "Okay", handed the dime of silver to Wen Mingtang, turned around and ran away.

After looking at the dime of silver in his palm for a moment, he put the silver into his purse. After returning the kitchen to Master Sun, Wen Mingtang put the prepared lotus root powder in the basket and left Dali Temple.

The lotus root Liang Hongjin sent last time has been made into lotus root powder. When you want to eat it, just rinse it with hot water and stir it, and then you can eat it.

For people like Liang Hongjin who are too lazy to open fire, they like this convenient way of eating.

As usual, they met outside the Tongming Gate at their old place. Wen Mingtang waited for a while at the Tongming Gate. Before Liang Hongjin arrived, another uninvited guest arrived.

The carriage came to a stop next to her. Wen Mingtang took two steps back and missed the face that peeked out from behind the curtain.

Wen Xiutang stared at her with a complicated and delicate bun.

Wen Mingtang looked at the bun with several peonies in it, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: Only Wen Xiutang's face can suppress such a head full of peonies!

A trace of annoyance flashed across Zhang Yanbi Mudan's face. She looked at Wen Mingtang and subconsciously touched her cheek.

Over the years, Prince Yu rarely dealt harshly to her face, but since he met Wen Mingtang, she had been slapped several times.

Wen Xiutang did not dare to say anything to King Yu, but she was also afraid that King Yu's men would not be serious enough to leave scars on her face, which would be bad!

She would not blame King Yu, nor did she dare to blame him. All her resentment was directed at Wen Mingtang, who was wearing a gray short shirt and robe in front of her.

"Why didn't you come when I asked you to?" Wen Xiutang glanced at her and said, "Do you like working around the stove so much?"

Hearing this, Wen Mingtang nodded and said, "Yes! I like it so much!"

Just as Wen Xiutang was about to continue preaching, he suddenly got stuck and stared at her annoyed and angry. After a long pause, she opened her mouth, and when she was about to find another reason to ask her out, the girl opposite, carrying a basket, touched her nose and said, "Why do you want me to ask you out, cousin?"

Wen Xiutang rolled her eyelids and said, "Of course it's you and me who are sisters..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a burst of laughter.

Wen Xiutang looked at Wen Mingtang who suddenly laughed out loud, frowned, and instinctively opened his mouth to scold him, but Wen Mingtang, who was smiling lightly across from him, had already spoken first.

"Cousin, I have been acting with you for so long. I originally thought that when my cousin realized her conscience, she would stop on her own initiative, but unexpectedly, she actually got worse and asked me to go out?" Wen Mingtang said casually.

The face of the pretty peony opposite him suddenly turned pale, and he shook his head subconsciously: "What are you talking about?"

Wen Mingtang chuckled: "Am I talking nonsense?" After saying these three words, the girl raised her eyebrows and pointed out one person, "Prince Yu."

As soon as the word "Yu Wang" came out, Wen Xiutang's face was startled. When she met Wen Mingtang's half-smiling eyes, she instinctively leaned back and said, "I don't know what you are talking about?"

It’s been such a long time, but you’re still so stubborn! Wen Mingtang sighed and murmured: "I finally understand how Liu Yuan and the others felt when they met the murderer who refused to let go even after all the evidence was put in front of them."

After saying this, before Wen Xiutang could find any more lame and ridiculous excuses, Wen Mingtang started to speak: "Cousin, people in the dark don't tell secret words! I know everything you do. If you want to hear it, I I can crush it piece by piece and break it apart so that you can listen to it."

"You did it on purpose the first time you and I met at the Sushan shop? I said that my cousin was dressed so richly, and at first glance she looked arrogant. It would be best if she didn't go to Sushan to eat. We must go to the most first-class restaurant in Chang'an City. Go to the Sushan restaurant on the roadside and eat Sushan at the same restaurant as us cooks and handymen. Can my cousin really let go of her figure?"

So, actually, Wen Mingtang never believed her from the very beginning when they met? Wen Xiutang's face was extremely ugly.

"Later, I went to the Jiaofang specifically to find you, just to see what your plans were. You couldn't live a hard life and insisted on joining the Jiaofang, so forget it. After all, everyone has their own ambitions." Wen Mingtang said, "I I’m not your mother, so there’s no need to force you to choose which way to go. But after I came out of the classroom that day, I was chased by murderers.”

If she hadn't been prepared during her years in the palace, she would have been cold by then.

Wen Xiutang moved her lips and murmured an explanation: "Didn't I say it before? It has nothing to do with me."

It’s really boring to keep telling lies at this time! Wen Mingtang shook his head and said: "Cousin, after the two murderers were eliminated that day, I went back to the popular music studio and waited at the door. I saw with my own eyes that the maid next to you sent King Yu out. .”

Wen Xiutang still wanted to speak, but Wen Mingtang was too lazy to talk in circles with her anymore and said directly: "Those two cooks from the public kitchen of Dali Temple went to the internal affairs office to inform people, and I already knew what they told Prince Yu. They had a plan. If it doesn’t work, you show up right away, and I know something’s not right with you.”

Wen Xiutang looked at Wen Mingtang who was speaking, his expression extremely ugly.

Wen Mingtang moved the basket of lotus root starch in his hand to his arm and continued: "Also, you said... we have a deep love for each other as sisters?"

Wen Mingtang reached out and tucked the strands of hair hanging in front of his forehead behind his ears, and whispered, "Do you want me to tell you one by one about my cousin who bullied me, deceived me, and robbed me of my beautiful clothes and hairpins when I was a child?"

This cousin has never looked like a sister since she was a child.

"When I relied on my father's power, I would steal my things privately and bully me. When my father fell, you took it as pushing and kicking me, but I haven't forgotten it at all." Wen Mingtang looked at the ugly face in front of him. Wen Xiutang said, "Since you borrowed my father's power in the past, you should understand that one will be prosperous and all will be prosperous, and one will suffer."

"I want to enjoy glory and wealth, and I want to escape when I am in trouble. Even if my father allows it, the laws of Da Rong will not allow it!" Under the sun, the girl's smile is indifferent and alienated, "Originally, the bridge leads to the bridge, and the road leads to the road. Damn it, I didn’t expect that after so many years, my cousin is still very selfish, and still wants to use my life to please your sponsor? Let me tell you..."

"Go and have your big spring and autumn dreams!" The girl grinned, showing her sharp white teeth at Wen Xiutang, who was leaning against the wall of the carriage in fear, "Cousin, I only have one life! I won't help you exchange it for that. You'll save yourself a few slaps, so you can bear it! My cousins ​​are so thick-skinned, they can bear it!
