Chapter 368 New Year’s Eve Treats (4)

Wen Mingtang handed the dessert list to Lin Fei, and Lin Fei looked down.

Although many pastries had changed names in the New Year's Eve snack boxes, Lin Fei still saw many familiar shadows at a glance.

Use a mold to make the Ruyi cake in the shape of Ruyi. Look at the mung beans, milk, mint and other materials used, and look at the yellow-green color, you will know that it is a mung bean cake with a changed shape.

There are also yam cakes, ice-skin flower cakes, etc. that are also changed into seasonal flower shapes.

In addition to the pastries without fillings, the pastries with fillings are much richer. Apart from the "flower clusters" shape, at a glance, there are hawthorn fillings, date paste walnut fillings, sesame fillings, bean paste fillings, and rose fillings. The fillings and many other fillings are amazingly rich.

In addition to these snacks with a single filling, there are many with more than one kind of filling. For example, the reunion cake I am eating right now has a golden outer shell that is smooth in the mouth, but when you bite into it, it is crispy in layers. The first thing you taste of the filling is a layer of sweet bean paste filling. Under the bean paste filling, there is a soft, waxy and stringy filling. Master Wen calls it "mochi", and the innermost layer is the crispy and salty egg yolk. Fillings.

When you take a bite, the various fillings are distinct, but they are progressively layered. Various textures and flavors appear in sequence, such as crispy, soft and glutinous, sweet, salty and so on. They are rich but not obtrusive. Instead, they blend together to complement each other, and the taste is really good.

Corresponding to this reunion cake, there is a green "Yingchun cake", which looks very different, but the flavor of the skin has changed from the egg fragrance of the reunion cake to the fragrance of tea. It seems that because of the use of tea powder, the bean paste filling inside has also changed. It becomes the filling of rose bean paste, which tastes "full of spring".

In addition to the pastry gift boxes for this New Year's Eve snacks, there is also a set of corresponding snack gift boxes on the list. The supply of ingredients is insufficient, so it is too late to make them now.

Lin Fei looked at the snack gift box that had been scratched out. In addition to the rare meat floss, dried meat, dried meat, etc., there was also a lot of roasted goods for the Chinese New Year: melon seeds, peanuts, pine nuts, and Gongchu's signature sugar-fried chestnuts. These roasted goods were originally also Instead of the usual five-flavored food, it was made with milk, salt and pepper, caramel, honey and other flavors. Lin Fei imagined the taste and felt regretful in his heart.

That’s it! There will always be a chance to eat it in the future, and the future is long!

After the pastries are ready, each box should also be provided with a meal list.

I was going to wait until tomorrow when the boxes are being packed to write. After covering the prepared snacks with a cover and tidying up the kitchen countertop a little, Wen Mingtang untied the apron around his waist and looked at the file in front of him where he was still sitting. Lin Fei, who was spread out but had bulging cheeks and was tasting cakes, said, "Lin Shaoqing?" As he spoke, he nudged the lanterns on the surrounding walls with his mouth.

The meaning couldn't be more obvious: she was going back to rest. If Lin Fei stayed in the kitchen, remember to turn off the lights when leaving.

Lin Fei said "hmm" when he heard this, but he put away the file in front of him, stood up and said, "Are you done? I have a few words to ask you, and after that I have to leave."

Wen Mingtang was startled when he heard this, then he breathed a sigh of relief for no reason and said, "Lin Shaoqing, please speak."

Although she was making cakes behind the countertop and he was looking through files in front of the dining table, he was a civilized man and wouldn't care about it. But being in the same room together for no reason, and at night, even though it was a place like the public kitchen where anyone could come, it was always... not very appropriate.

But every time someone noticed something "inappropriate", Lin Shaoqing would say in a serious tone, "He has something serious to do."

Wen Mingtang thought to himself: No wonder Ji Caimai talked about this with her a few days ago and lamented that he wanted to persuade her, but had nowhere to say it.

To be fair, Lin Fei did take great care of her within a reasonable limit. This is much better than that "Sister Mingtang".

But...there's really no need to think about such things right now.

Maybe it was what Ji Caimai thought, or maybe Lin Shaoqing didn't mean that at all.

Regardless of whether there is or not, in today's Da Rong, it is impossible for him to be with her.

No matter how civilized the people are, the concept of family status in Da Rong still exists. It is also because of this that A Bing and Tangyuan can go so smoothly without any obstacles at all.

Apart from the troubles caused by the surname "Wen", she currently wants to make money to buy a house of her own.

As for Lin Fei...he is not Li Yuan, let alone his ex-fiancé. Wen Mingtang could clearly see that Lin Shaoqing was an extremely sober and rational person. Otherwise, how could he grasp the key to such a complicated case at once?

Wen Mingtang looked at Lin Fei in front of him and heard Lin Fei say: "I heard Zhao You talk about Tangyuan. What happened to Tangyuan before he became suddenly panic-stricken?"

"No." Hearing this, Wen Mingtang hurriedly said, "I know what you mean. I'm afraid Tang Yuan is here because of someone's gossip, but... it's true that he didn't."

As for the heart-to-heart relationship between father and daughter, of course it cannot be used as evidence in court.

This was not the main purpose of his visit. Lin Fei said "hmm" and asked Wen Mingtang: "Yesterday I heard that Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu did not go back to pack their luggage. After having lunch, they called the old man directly. Yuan left, right or wrong?"

Wen Mingtang nodded, his heart skipped a beat, and a bad feeling arose spontaneously: "But what happened?"

He ordered Liu and Bai to go to the Xianyang County Yamen yesterday because he knew that the case involved a lot of trouble. Of course, he was not completely unprepared, and he would not let his subordinates risk their lives.

After Qian Niang bumped into what happened yesterday, he had prepared a plan in advance and had someone watching in front of the house.

Not long after Guo met, Qian Niang left the house and met a stranger. After the big man came into contact with Qian Niang, he left the city.

The people he arranged followed immediately.

It wasn't until midnight yesterday that he received the news from Xianyang: the unfamiliar man had indeed set up an ambush on the roadside and tried to ambush Liu and Bai's group, but was captured on the spot by the people he arranged.

Lin Fei said: "That big man was a dead man. He took poison in advance and died after being caught. Although nothing happened, but... with the temperament of Liu Yuanbai and Zhu, if they knew that this trip was in danger, they would definitely resolve the matter as soon as possible. ,logic……"

When Wen Mingtang heard this, his face turned pale: "Logically speaking, the two of them will finish their work quickly and come back immediately, lest something unexpected happens."

Lin Fei nodded and said: "I received a message from Xianyang before the evening meal. They sent it from Xianyang at noon. They said that everything is going smoothly. If there are no other clues, I will leave Xianyang this afternoon." Lin Fei nodded. When Fei said this, he looked at Wen Mingtang who turned pale, paused, and then said, "If other clues suddenly arise, and more people need to be interviewed, it is not impossible to delay the matter for a day or two."

Of course, there is some truth to this, but compared to this guess, another guess is obviously more likely.

Wen Mingtang turned pale and asked Lin Fei, "What Lin Shaoqing means is that there will be leakers in your place, but we may not have them in Dali Temple?"
