Chapter 395 Dry Kidney Noodles (1)
He must not show favoritism, but he is not unreasonable. He will not search a few people in public. Lin Fei asked the guards to take Chang Shi, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and others into the Star Building and began to search for suspicious objects on those people.
Ordinarily, if there is something, it must be on them. When they heard that they were going to be searched, they should show their confusion. But I don't know if the usual old Chi Jianjian is back. When several people heard this, they reacted calmly and followed the guards into the Zhaixing Building to search themselves.
As the night got darker, apart from a few pedestrians who wanted to see the last excitement, only Wen Mingtang was there.
Pulling the collar of her robe, Tangyuan sneezed.
It's late at night, and even if the place is as prosperous as the Furong Garden, the cold wind will still blow through it. It won't just go past him just because the place is prosperous and wealthy.
Wen Mingtang turned to look at Tang Yuan and A Bing: "Are you sleepy?"
The two shook their heads. They slept until noon today, so they would not be sleepy.
Seeing this, Wen Mingtang thought for a while and said, "Why don't we go have some late-night snacks to kill the long night."
When Tang Yuan and A Bing heard this, before they could speak, their stomachs made a "gurgling" sound in unison.
Although I was quite happy with the fish dish that I had eaten, it was true that Zhao Mengzhuo suddenly happened and I was hungry after all the busy work.
The vegetables at home have been depleted. Master Wen is going to the market tomorrow to buy some. When he gets home, he may have to use flour to make noodles that are clear and watery.
But... right now I'm hungry and want to eat not only noodles, but also some greasy meat dishes.
When Wen Mingtang saw the two men nodding, he walked aside and told Zhao You that they wanted to have some midnight snacks.
Zhao Youjin, who usually couldn't fill his stomach, didn't say anything about going with them. Hearing this, he said to Wen Mingtang: "Master Wen, there is a case, and it is Mr. Zhao's case. I won't go there in the next few days." ”
He was called by Lin Fei to help with the vigil. After all, he was alone during the New Year, and he was just spending the New Year with Wen Mingtang and the others.
It's now the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, and many shops will be opening tomorrow on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year. This year is over, so I won't follow them anymore.
Furthermore, Zhao Mengzhuo's incident really affected Zhao You a bit. He was born to be a good material for martial arts. It was rare that he could not defeat four hands with two fists like today. When he was blocked, he would inevitably feel a little uncomfortable.
Seeing the way Zhao You lowered his eyes, Wen Mingtang and others would not force it, and looked at everyone. They were all busy doing things at the moment, so they would not hesitate to ask everyone if they wanted to have a midnight snack at this time.
This is outside, not Dali Temple, and no one is bringing food.
After wrapping the collars of their robes tightly, they left the Star-Zhaing Tower together with the last few passers-by who were watching the excitement.
Although there was no curfew in the whole city of Chang'an in January, it was already too late now that the night was approaching. Except for the high-rise red sleeves and the street drinking taverns, most of the shops were closed. Even if I occasionally saw pedestrians, they would pass by in a hurry. I was delayed for something, and I was rushing home.
The three of them walked while sighing with emotion at what they had just seen. There were many pedestrians during the day. They walked for half an hour on this stretch of road. There were no pedestrians at this time. They were walking very fast. It only took two cups of tea to get out of Qujiang Pond. Nearby.
When A Bing was saying, "I don't know who those adults are," a voice suddenly came from a sideways voice: "Are you talking about the Star-Zhaing Tower?"
Startled by the sudden voice, the three of them looked for a voice. When they saw it was a man carrying vegetables and meat in his hands, Ah Bing and Tangyuan breathed a sigh of relief. Just when they were about to ask him who he was, someone on the side saw him. Wen Mingtang had already spoken: "Aren't you... the noodle shop owner?"
There is an alleyway behind the jewelry shop opened by Prince Liyang, and there is a noodle shop in the alleyway. Because Wen Mingtang asked about Princess Liyang, he took Zhao You to eat a bowl of Yangchun noodles in the noodle shop, which tasted quite authentic. .
However, Wen Mingtang was able to recognize this man after all these days, not only because of the authentic taste of the bowl of noodles, but also because the couple with Jiangnan accents who opened the noodle shop pointed out the "secret" of the Liyang Palace. .
The craftsmanship is so good, but the noodle shop is opened in an alley where "birds don't shit". It may be a money problem, but it may also be for other reasons.
Wen Mingtang recognized her at a glance, but the man smiled without any surprise. Then he looked at Wen Mingtang and recognized her with the same accuracy: "I also remember the young lady, the same tall and tall young lady at that time. The young man came over to eat noodles together, and the young man had a big appetite, so he ate two bowls!"
It is not unreasonable to say that Zhao You has a big appetite, so he has an impression of her who is traveling with him.
After Wen Mingtang told A Bing and Tangyuan that she and Zhao You went to the noodle shop to eat noodles that day, her eyes fell on the vegetables and meat in the man's hands and asked: "It's so late, how can the store buy some noodles?" Are the vegetables and meat gone?”
"Of course not. Where did you get the vegetables and meat at this late hour?" The man replied with a smile and a calm demeanor, "I left the vegetables and meat I bought at the night market with someone I knew well, so I came over to pick them up."
Even if you leave vegetables and meat at the place of someone you know well, how can you pick it up at such a late hour? Wen Mingtang still had doubts in his eyes.
The behavior of this noodle shop couple is very strange, not as simple as ordinary noodle shop couples.
He probably also knew that his behavior was a bit weird. The man explained: "Although the business of the noodle shop is mediocre, fortunately, there are a few good regular customers who are waiting for me. I was invited to make longevity noodles tonight, and I will wait until the banquet." , cleaned up a bit, and went back now. I just heard the passers-by talking about what happened in front of the Star-Zhaing Tower on the road, and I thought that the young ladies might have just come back from the Star-Zhaing Tower, so I couldn't help but ask curiously. ask."
This explanation... Wen Mingtang hesitated for a moment, nodded, and then his sleeves were pulled by Tangyuan. Wen Mingtang looked at Tangyuan, and Tangyuan pointed to the street with only taverns and brothels on both sides, and whispered to her: "Master Wen , I'm afraid other restaurants have closed early!" As he spoke, he pointed at the man carrying vegetables and meat.
Wen Mingtang understood, and her stomach growled twice. Thinking of the authentic bowl of Yangchun noodles, she felt a little greedy for a moment, but that was secondary. Looking at the man who opened the noodle shop in front of her, she wondered if it was her misunderstanding. That day with Zhao This was also the case when eating noodles at his noodle shop. I always felt that the couple looked familiar, as if I had seen them before somewhere.
Thinking of this, I simply asked the man with a smile on the glutinous rice balls: "I just came from Zhaixinglou, and I have been thinking about that bowl of Yangchun noodles for a long time..."
The man opposite seemed a little surprised. He probably didn't expect that they would come over late at night to eat a bowl of noodles from him. However, he was also a very "good" person at heart. He understood the implication of Wen Mingtang's words and smiled. With the vegetables and meat in his hand, he continued: "What a coincidence, my noodle shop is closed late today, but it is still open. If you want to have a midnight snack, you can come to my place and have a bowl of dried kidney noodles while eating. Let’s chat.”
