Chapter 254 Hoof Flower Soup (3)

Lin Fei, who had been silent as he looked down at the list of dignitaries, finally spoke slowly and said, "We really can't let Du Lingmou know about this!"

Today's Zhongshu Lingdu Lingmou is indeed very capable, but...

"In the past, he was pressured by Wen Xuance at every turn, so he turned against him! After Wen Xuance's accident, he immediately wrote a letter stating that he would be severely punished!" Lin Fei frowned when he said this.

Of course, there is not much difference between whether Wen Xuance is punished severely or not, and whether Du Lingmou writes a letter or not does not make much difference.

But it is too clear-cut whether this person is close or not. Those who are close are too kind, and they even turn a blind eye and condone them; those who are distant are just like Wen Xuance, and they don't forget to step on them at all times.

"Wen Xuance committed a crime and the entire Wen family was in trouble. Master Wen was still a child when he entered the palace," Lin Fei said. "I heard that he even specifically instructed people in Yeting to make things difficult for Master Wen!"

The whole Wen family is like this, but they don't even let go of children they have never seen before. Du Lingmou really has a tendency to "kill all the people who are estranged and those who are against him"!

Liu Yuandong and Bai Zhu didn't know this yet. When they heard this, they couldn't help but fell silent.

"There is no need to tell Mr. Zhao about this!" Lin Fei clicked on the list of dignitaries involved and said, "I will go to the palace to see the Holy Emperor right now!"

Seeing this, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with the evening meal, so I can only let Zhao You run an errand! Lin Fei was also curious about how to make the dolphin's hooves.

At dusk, the pig hooves that had made everyone in Dali Temple anxious all afternoon finally met everyone.

Different from the usual preparation method of pork meat - braised in braised pork, what everyone saw when they ate at night was a milky white soup cooked in a clay pot.

The cut pig's trotters are exposed in the thick soup. The pig's skin is white and attractive. Due to the long-term cooking, there are some signs of falling off the bones. It floats in the soup like flying flowers.

"No wonder it's called hoof flower soup!" When Liu Yuan came over, he couldn't help but sigh when he saw the neatly arranged casseroles on the countertop.

The hoof that was still a little scary after seeing it in the afternoon has now changed its appearance and is lying quietly in the casserole. The surface of the milky white hoof flower soup is dotted with fresh green onions. The thick soup, green onions, white and green colors are so eye-catching. At one glance, he swallowed immediately, and the appetite in his heart was aroused.

At that time, everyone who said they "didn't dare to eat" and "can't eat even thinking about those hooves" had already formed a long queue without realizing it, waiting for food!

It’s late at night, so naturally there’s no one at the takeout stall at this time!

Ji Caimai walked up to the stage with his hands behind his back. He saw that the first servant in line had finished receiving the evening meal and was about to sit down at the dining table to eat. He immediately called him out and said, "Didn't I avoid him when I came to get milk tea in the afternoon?" Not as good as that?"

He is not old enough to forget what happened in the afternoon in a blink of an eye. Isn't this the servant who was so frightened that he trembled, turned around and ran away, and then spread the story of eating pig's trotters in the evening meal to everyone? What?

I ran faster than anyone else in the afternoon, but now I am the first in line.

The officer who was stopped by Ji Caimai laughed twice and said hurriedly: "My fault, my fault! Ji Caimai, please spare me!"

Looking at the officer who immediately begged for mercy, Ji Caimai rolled his eyelids and said, "Does your face hurt?"

"pain!"

Ji Caimai then gave up and walked back to the takeout stall again with his hands behind his back and sat down at the back.

…

The guard in the room who had admitted his mistake was afraid that Ji Caimai would catch him again. After admitting his mistake, he quickly picked up his plate and went to the dining table to sit down and eat.

The thick white hoof flower soup also comes with a small plate of sauce. The sauce is supposed to be prepared by Master Wen himself, with a thin layer of spicy oil floating on top.

After sitting down, the servant quickly picked up a spoon and took a spoonful of soup. The soup in his mouth was rich and delicious. You could also taste a slight aroma of pepper in it. A mouthful of warm soup entered your stomach, and there was an immediate sensation. The warmth dissipated the cold air brought in from outside.

Sure enough, the colder the weather, the more suitable it is to eat soup and water.

After taking several sips of the delicious soup, the guard put down his spoon, picked up his chopsticks, and was about to pick up the hoof flowers in the soup when he heard someone sighing from not far away.

"What a great hoof to bully the frost and compete with the snow!"

This sigh almost made people spit out the soup in their mouths! Choking coughs could be heard all around, and everyone looked at Liu Yuan who was sighing with a piece of hoof flower between his legs.

As if he didn't notice the looks from everyone, Liu Yuan lowered his head and opened his mouth to bite the hoof flower caught on the chopsticks. Looking at the milky white soup, he could guess that the hoof flower here must not be good at cooking.

This is indeed the case. The moment your teeth bite through the skin of the hoof flower, you can feel the soft and tender texture: soft but not rotten, smooth and refreshing. When chewing gently, the soft and smooth texture is particularly special. meticulous. Although it looks like fatty meat, the texture is completely different from the greasy texture of ordinary fatty meat. It is actually more delicate, and you won’t feel tired even if you eat it with the delicious soup! There is still some slight lean meat near the bones, which is completely crispy at this time. The bones and flesh of the hoof can be separated with a gentle pull.

Liu Yuan, who had finished eating a piece of hoof flower, picked up another one, and this time he dipped it in Wen Mingtang's sauce: the sauce added a hint of sour and spicy sauce flavor to the already delicious hoof flower, making it an empty meal. The non-greasy hoof flowers are actually a bit more appetizing due to the spicy and sour sauce aroma, making people want to stop more and more!

Only after he had eaten several pieces of hoof beans in succession did Liu Yuan catch a glimpse of the snow-white thing called white kidney beans in the thick soup. For the time being, Liu Yuan suppressed the urge to continue nibbling the hoof flowers, and took a spoonful of soup and beans into his mouth. The beans in his mouth were as soft and delicate as cotton yarn, with a wonderful taste.

Ji Caimai, who was working on the abacus behind the takeout stall, looked at the officials and servants eating the evening meal in the hall, and a smile appeared on his face: After being busy for so many days, it is always nice to sit down and have an evening meal quietly. It makes people feel very warm after watching it!

Just as he was thinking this, he saw Wen Mingtang behind the counter putting the casserole wrapped in thick cloth into the food box together with a bowl of red sauce, and handed it to Zhao You who came.

Zhao You is quick on his feet, and he does a lot of the errands on weekdays. In the past few days, most of Mr. Xun’s evening meals were sent to him by him. However, Mr. Xun was also not a big fan of spicy food. The red bowl of sauce looked like it was not for Mr. Xun, but more like a gift. It's for... Lin Shaoqing.

Today, Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu came to have dinner. What was Lin Shaoqing doing? Why didn't you come?

Lin Shaoqing, who was worried about Ji Caimai, returned to the Marquis Jingyun Mansion at this time. He handed his thick cloak to the concierge and walked into the mansion.

Since Lin Fei entered the Yamen of Dali Temple, it is not strange to come back late every day, but it is not uncommon to come back from the palace!

Therefore, the person who came to find Lin Fei this time was not the usual Mrs. Hou, but Marquis Jingyun himself!
