49. You can't ask for it
When the dandan noodles and cold kelp were ready, the people who came to get breakfast arrived.
After that, Meng Wei ate a bowl of dandan noodles with everyone in the kitchen, and instructed Aunt Lin and Zhen'er to make the marinade and put it in the ice cellar to chill, otherwise when she came back, the marinade would probably be rancid.
Only the people in the kitchen grinded the rice into powder, and then told Zhen'er and Aunt Lin some steps to make rice noodles, I wanted to continue teaching, but I didn't want the small mirror to be outside, Meng Wei asked Aunt Lin to make rice noodles after precipitation, and the rest waited for Meng Wei to come back and continue to teach.
Aunt Lin hurriedly agreed, the rice noodles were precipitated in the cold water, and even if Meng Wei came back in the evening, it would not spoil, so Aunt Lin was very relieved.
The little mirror took Meng Wei all the way from the back door, and the person guarding the back door Xu was also instructed, although he didn't know Meng Wei, but when he saw the little mirror, he was busy opening the back door.
When the two arrived at Xiangyun Building, Xiangyun Building had only opened for a long time, and there was no one in the restaurant to eat.
But I also want to know that this Xiangyun Building is not an inn, you can only eat and not stay, and it is worth a lot of money, even if you are rich, you must not come to Xiangyun Lou early in the morning just to have breakfast.
Not only the guests, Meng Wei didn't even see the shopkeeper.
Originally, when she was stir-frying before, she also said that she would guide her when she was free, but she didn't expect that because of Ye Zichuan's hurry yesterday, she hurriedly followed out of Xiangyun Building without even having time to say hello.
Although she was injured, she was promoted to a second-class maid due to a blessing in disguise, and she was able to have a three-day vacation, so Meng Wei naturally would not waste three days, so she thought that the little marquis was not here today, and she was not in a hurry.
Presumably, after she showed her hand yesterday, the shopkeeper of Xiangyun Building and Master Xu would no longer underestimate her.
Although the shopkeeper was not there, Meng Wei followed Ye Zichuan twice before, and then went downstairs to the back kitchen after a while, and the little second in the store recognized Meng Wei at a glance.
Ye Zichuan is a person with a tough background in the capital, and many people in Beijing want to please Ye Zichuan.
But Ye Zichuan has a strange temperament, and many people who tried to please Ye Zichuan were unsuccessful, so many people set their eyes on the people around Ye Zichuan.
As the saying goes, as long as you understand Ye Zichuan's habits and preferences, are you afraid that you won't be able to get close to Ye Zichuan?
Naturally, this also includes the second child of Xiangyun Building.
You must know that Ye Zichuan often eats in Xiangyun Building, although Ye Zichuan has a bad temper, but he is a generous lord, as long as he serves well, he can get a reward, so every time Ye Zichuan comes to Xiangyun Building, those shopkeepers are full of energy to let Ye Zichuan remember.
It's just a pity that most of the time it's the personal reception of the shopkeeper, so they don't have much chance to show their faces, but this doesn't prevent them from remembering Ye Zichuan and Ye Zichuan's followers.
One of the juniors smiled like a flower and greeted Meng Wei: "This girl is from the Protector's Mansion, right?" But the little marquis is going to eat here today? ”
Xiao Er only thought that Meng Wei had come to the wing room according to Ye Zichuan's instructions, but Meng Wei shook her head: "We are here to find Master Xu, is he here?" ”
"Here, Chef Xu is in the back kitchen, and the younger one will take the two to the back kitchen."
Xiao Er didn't ask much, just thought that the little marquis wanted to pack the dishes and go back to the house to eat, and when he heard Meng Wei say this, he was busy showing them the way.
When he arrived at the kitchen, Xiao Er didn't go in, but only shouted outside: "Master Xu, there are two people from the Protector's Mansion, saying that they are looking for you to have something." ”
After speaking, Xiao Er retreated a few meters away, clearly leaving space for them to speak.
Meng Wei was very satisfied with the fact that Xiangyunlou Xiaoer was so clever, this Xiaoer saw their smile at the beginning but was not annoying, the sentence just now not only showed their identity, but also was not rude, and finally knew how to advance and retreat, I have to say that the shopkeeper of Xiangyunlou was very well trained.
The sound of opening the door sounded, and Master Xu was still wondering who was so idle in the Protector's Mansion, and came to him early in the morning.
However, when he saw Meng Wei, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, and a smile instantly appeared on his face: "Little master, why are you here?" Hurry up and sit inside.
Please forgive the current Master Xu for only seeing Meng Wei in his eyes, and automatically ignoring the small mirror.
Meng Wei nodded at the small mirror and followed Master Xu into the kitchen.
Since there is no business yet, even if the kitchen is full, it is just a leisurely preparation of ingredients, and it seems that they are preparing breakfast.
Like a primary school student facing a teacher, Master Xu wiped his hands on his robe crampedly, and asked, "Little master, did you come so early and have breakfast?" If you haven't eaten anything, don't you mind if I make you some myself? ”
"Master Xu is kind, we understand it, I came this time because I had to leave first yesterday and didn't say hello to you, I'm really embarrassed."
"This, this little master, you are too polite, I know that sometimes you can't help yourself and won't take it to heart."
Meng Wei smiled again: "Master Xu, do you remember that you asked me yesterday if I was free to guide you in cooking?" ”
"Remember," Master Xu made no secret of the excitement on his face, and hurriedly opened his private studio, "Little Master, are you here today to guide me?" ”
Nodding, Meng Wei glanced at the people who kept looking at them and asked, "You shouldn't have eaten breakfast yet, I'll teach you to make breakfast now." ”
In ancient times, only large families would make breakfast finely, and other people would not enjoy it so much, most of them just ate some leftovers from yesterday, or boiled eggs to drink a bowl of porridge and the like, and many people did not eat breakfast.
Even Master Xu and others will make a little bit of breakfast because of this Xiangyunlou bag, after all, they are relatively good at dishes, and most of the breakfast with no technical content is noodles or porridge.
But after Master Xu tasted Meng Wei's craftsmanship, he didn't dare to underestimate Meng Wei.
Even though Master Xu felt that breakfast was not difficult, he couldn't ask for Meng Wei's guidance.
Meng Wei didn't use too expensive materials, even if Master Xu was the chef of this Xiangyun Building, but he was not the shopkeeper in the end, Meng Wei didn't want to make trouble for Master Xu, not to mention that Master Xu admired her because of a simple drunkard peanut, which proved that Master Xu is not the kind of person who only pursues high-end ingredients.
Perhaps it may be related to the preciousness of the tasting of many ingredients in the eyes of those diners, who think that those expensive and delicious ingredients can show their status, but for a chef, the real craftsmanship can withstand any test.
In the hands of a chef, every ingredient is equal, and even ordinary things can make something more delicious than the delicacies of the mountains and seas.
