Chapter 316 Leek Box Hu Spicy Soup (1)

  Although Xiu Mu received the banquet list from the Jingyunhou Mansion today, he was still much more comfortable than usual.

  Woke up at the same time as usual, but Wen Mingtang, who rarely took a bath, still stayed in bed for half an hour, read a book for a while before getting up to wash, and then went out with the things prepared yesterday.

When passing by the public kitchen yard, Wen Mingtang went in to have a look on purpose. When he saw that Master Tang Yuan and Master A Bing were seriously preparing the batter and accessories for Chaoshi miscellaneous grain pancakes, he couldn't help but smile and didn't bother them to go out. Dali Temple.

  Although she is "staying in bed" today, compared with most people, it is still early to go out at this time.

  The sky was gray and gray. Except for the common people who had to get up early to work, many people had just woken up at this time or were still playing chess with Zhou Gong on the bed.

  Wen Mingtang turned into the street leading to Jingyunhou's Mansion with the guys he had prepared on his back. There were obviously more people on the street than before. This Xuanlin Avenue is one of the busiest streets in Chang'an City. Although the day is bright at this time, there are already quite a few shops open along the street, among which there are quite a few Chaoshi food stalls, some of which can be seen with ordinary stalls, and there are many more, but they are very sophisticated ones working on the street. Then wait for the food shop.

   These two completely different places to eat morning food have different prices.

   It is rare for Dali Temple to eat outside, and Wen Mingtang doesn't care about the money, not to mention, when the servants tell her about the delicacies of Chang'an City in the public kitchen, many of them are in those shops.

Because he came out early, there were not many people in the shops where there were always queues on weekdays, so Wen Mingtang randomly picked a Chaoshi shop that the servants mentioned a lot and went in, and ordered a "signature Chaoshi" in the shop - leek box Served with spicy soup.

Sitting down on the seat facing the street, watching the people coming and going and talking about the wages of the labor that is about to start, while hurriedly passing by the window, Wen Mingtang couldn't help pursing his lips and smiling: For ordinary people in Shengdou, how much is the daily labor? The most important thing in life is whether the wages are enough to cover the expenses of the whole family.

  She herself is one of the thousands of small people in this world.

Just as he was feeling emotional, the shop’s signature morning food was brought over by the staff, and the lace-shaped leek box was taken out of the oil pan. The small oil bubbles had not yet faded, and the residual heat and fragrance of the pan rushed to the face. Next to the porcelain plate with two palm-sized leek boxes is a bowl of thick spicy soup. At a glance, there are various ingredients such as meatballs, bean curds, gluten, carrots, and potato cubes.

  Wen Mingtang picked up the spoon, scooped up a spoonful of Hu spicy soup and put it into his mouth.

  The soup is thickened by starch and is very viscous, with the pepper and chili's unique pungentness pouring into the mouth. The soup is rich and rich, and the side dishes are not mixed too much. The pork meat **** are delicious and slightly elastic. The bean skin has the unique fragrance of soybeans. Waxy... The taste and ingredients are rich and amazing.

  Wen Mingtang took a few sips of Hu spicy soup, a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead, and his hands and feet became warmer.

After warming his hands and feet, Wen Mingtang held up his chopsticks to pick up the leek box aside. The outer skin was very crispy after deep-fried. As Wen Mingtang bit it down, there was a "click" sound, revealing the filling wrapped in the crust: green and oily leeks , yellow eggs and tender white dried tofu are mixed in it, with a strong aroma of leek eggs and soybeans gushing out together.

  Leeks are fresh and juicy mixed with fried eggs, which is a perfect match. The tender white dried beans mixed in the middle add soybean aroma to the filling and make the filling richer in taste.

   One bite, from the crispy shell to the filling inside, all the ingredients complement each other, and the eater is extremely satisfied.

  It can be passed on from ancient to modern times, and there is a reason for eating food that is loved by people in both the north and the south, just like this rather down-to-earth leek box.

   But although he is very satisfied with the leek box of this Chaoshi shop, Wen Mingtang still thinks it would be better if some smooth vermicelli were added in it.

   After a full meal of Chaoshi, Wen Mingtang burped, got up, left the Chaoshi shop, and headed straight for Jingyunhou's mansion.

  Although it was the first time to come back to Jingyunhou's Mansion, Wen Mingtang walked to the gate of Jingyunhou's Mansion without asking. There is no other reason, but the location is really good. When you walk to the middle of Xuanlin Street, you can see the opposite Jingyunhou Mansion and the opposite Jingguo Mansion as soon as you look up.

  Because it was too early, the main gates of the two prefectures have not yet opened.

   After looking at the tall gates of the two mansions for a moment, Wen Mingtang walked through the main entrance, and was about to go around from the side alley to the side entrance of the Hou Mansion. She and Master Xing made an appointment to meet at the side entrance.

Just when he was about to turn to the side door, the door of the Duke's Mansion, which had not been opened when he passed by, suddenly opened. Following the sound of the door opening and closing, Wen Mingtang instinctively glanced in the direction of the sound, thinking that he would get up early and come out to open the door It would be the concierge, but he didn't expect to see a solemn old man in official robes.

  The old man who came out of the Duke's mansion early in the morning, seeing the same solemn expression on the old man's face as Lin Fei's, could guess the identity of the old man even with his eyes closed.

  Wen Mingtang turned around and dodged into the side alley: She had already learned about Duke Jingguo's dissatisfaction with Wen Xuance's matter from Liu Yuan.

  Although the matter of Wen Xuance has been settled, but her surname is Wen, and Duke Yasukuni cannot take a good look at her. Although it would not be possible to trip her up, if someone who saw her appeared in Jingyunhou's mansion, it might cause trouble again.

  Wen Mingtang really didn't want to cause a verbal dispute. After all, for Shengdou Xiaomin, what she wanted was to make ends meet, earn enough money, and be able to buy a house in Chang'an City. Today she came here to make money, not to cause trouble with the "employer"'s family.

  At first, she thought that if she hid like this, she would come out after Duke Yasukuni left. Judging by the appearance of Duke Yasukuni in official robes, she might be going to court.

  Unexpectedly, as people wished, Lord Yasukuni, who got up earlier in the morning than his own concierge, stood in front of the mansion for a while, and came straight in her direction.

  Wen Mingtang's heart tightened when he saw it, and he looked back instinctively, and suddenly he had a headache: This side door was opened by the Duke's mansion, and it was a dead end inside, and he couldn't get out. And the side door on the side is still tightly closed at this time, and the time for her meeting with Master Xing has not yet arrived, this... I am afraid it will be troublesome.

Seeing Lord Yasukuni getting closer, Wen Mingtang gave a wry smile. Just when he thought that the dispute he had caused in the home of his "employer" today was inevitable, the closed side door beside him suddenly opened, and one hand grabbed him. Her arm pulled her into the Hou Mansion.
