44. Knowing people, knowing faces, but not knowing hearts

After Mrs. Hou said this, she didn't let people take the osmanthus cake that Fang Yuan bought and left.

As for Meng Wei, she went back to her room and slept comfortably, and it was almost dinner time.

I was about to go to the little marquis's house together, only to think that Mrs. and the little marquis had given herself three days off, and Aunt Lin had her guidance on many dishes, so that she could still change her tricks for the little marquis to eat in three or five days.

Meng Wei was a little relieved, but she thought about the image of the tireless and loyal little girl she had created in the mansion these days, and after thinking about it, she dispelled the idea of continuing to go back to the house and lie down, and turned her steps to the kitchen.

She didn't forget the small basket of chili peppers that she had bought before, no one in this dynasty seemed to use chili peppers for cooking, at least in the capital, Aunt Lin didn't know what it was, she wanted to take a good look, and I didn't know if the couple had sent all the chili peppers.

Meng Wei thought well, at this time, Aunt Lin had just asked the masters of all parties to take away the dinner, and she was looking at the chili pepper in her hand with nothing to do, if it weren't for the people at the porter who said that this was the approval of the little marquis, Meng Wei's designated kitchen seasoning, she really thought that this was some kind of flower-like decoration, and Hong Tongtong looked strange and festive.

I wanted to ask Meng Wei how to use this, but I thought that the people in the kitchen said that Meng Wei blocked a knife for the little marquis, and now the injury is very serious, and the lady and the little marquis let people go back to rest, so Aunt Lin didn't dare to bother again.

Now Meng Wei has helped block a knife, even if she is not a benefactor, then the treatment should go up a liter, she has to rest well if she loses too much blood, if she goes rashly, Meng Wei's docile nature will naturally not be angry, but Aunt Lin can't bear to let Meng Wei rest badly.

After these days, she has received a lot of benefits from Meng Wei, and she has improved a lot in cooking, so she is more and more grateful to Meng Wei, and even treats her as a junior in the family.

So Aunt Lin looked left and right, trying to know how this should be used as a seasoning, and what dishes should be suitable for adding this.

However, whether Aunt Lin pinched or smelled, she couldn't see the clue, and after thinking about it, Aunt Lin simply took a small bite and tried it, but as soon as she took the next bite, the spicy and stimulating taste only touched her tongue, which made her spit out a little unbearable.

Seeing this, Zhen'er on the side hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Aunt Lin, what's wrong with you?" Is the seasoning inedible? ”

But at this time, where could Aunt Lin listen to Zhen'er's question, the spicy taste on the tip of her tongue was still there, so she couldn't help coughing, but she still didn't feel that the taste had become light, so she had to stretch out her hand towards the boiling kettle: "Water, water, give me water." ”

When Zhen'er heard this, she hurriedly poured a bowl of water for Aunt Lin, and Aunt Lin drank three bowls of water in a row, and then she felt much better, pointing to the basket of chili peppers and said, "This thing is hard to eat, Xiaowei is afraid that she has been fooled, right?" ”

Aunt Lin was worried, and the other people in the kitchen naturally saw Aunt Lin's appearance after eating a mouthful of chili peppers just now, and they couldn't help but feel sorry for a while: "That person who sells things is really bold, he even dares to deceive the Hou Mansion, I'm afraid I don't take the Hou Mansion in my eyes." ”

"But I heard from the porter that the people who sold things were a pair of poor peasants who looked honest, not like such slippery people."

"Knowing people, knowing faces, not knowing hearts"

"What are you talking about?" As soon as Meng Wei came, she saw everyone in the kitchen chatting together, and couldn't help but be a little curious, "By the way, what about my chili peppers?" Did the porter deliver it? ”

Aunt Lin hurriedly got up: "Xiaowei, I heard that you were injured, is there anything wrong?" Where did it hurt? ”

"Xiaowei, are you alright? Aunt Lin and I are very worried about you. ”

Meng Wei smiled: "Don't worry, I was just slashed on the arm, but fortunately it was not very heavy, but Mrs. and the little marquis were sympathetic, afraid that I would be frightened and recuperate by the way, let me rest for three days, but I thought that the chili pepper was a good thing, few people knew, even I once lived in the village and accidentally learned about it." So I'm afraid that you haven't been exposed to it and don't know how to use it, so I came to take a look. ”

"This thing is spicy, don't move if you are injured, you just have to command us next to us."

Aunt Lin was already sad because of the chili pepper, but now when she heard Meng Wei say this, her heart couldn't help but be moved.

Thinking that Meng Wei was still injured, she hurriedly pressed Meng Wei's hand, and Zhen'er took the back basket even more sensibly: "Xiaowei, the chili pepper you said Aunt Lin tasted just now, I don't know how to use this?" ”

I have to say that Zhen'er asked the voices of the people present, Meng Wei looked at their anxious looks, and hurriedly said: "You don't have to worry, this chili pepper is a good treasure, and a lot will be sent later, you have to keep it well." Aunt Lin, I'll teach you to cook a few delicious dishes now, Zhen'er, you can come over too. ”

Although Meng Wei is still injured, for a foodie who is not spicy or happy, how can she still endure the chili peppers that are hard to find and the deliciousness that is close in front of her?

Meng Wei instructed Aunt Lin to make a mapo tofu, a boiled fish, and a spicy chicken, watching the plate of dishes lined with bright red peppers even more appetizing, even Aunt Lin couldn't believe that such a tempting three-course dish was actually made by her.

Smelling the fresh and attractive smell on the tip of her nose, Aunt Lin swallowed her saliva: "This smells really fragrant, but I don't know what it tastes like." ”

"If you want to know what it tastes like, Aunt Lin, you can taste it."

Meng Wei handed over the chopsticks in a timely manner, and Aunt Lin was not polite when she saw this, so she first walked towards the spicy chicken.

"Well, water! Get water! ”

Fortunately, Meng Wei had already prepared, and hurriedly handed over the water in her hand: "Aunt Lin, drink it quickly, this chili pepper is a bit spicy, people who have never eaten chili peppers before may not be used to it, but it should taste good." ”

"Good! Xiaowei, this taste is not good, it is very good," Aunt Lin's eyes were full of excitement, but after saying a few words, she felt spicy and uncomfortable in her mouth, and hurriedly poured another bowl of tea, and then gave Meng Wei a thumbs up, "It's just that the taste is a little spicy, but it makes people can't help but want to continue eating, Xiaowei, you are really amazing." ”

A few people on the side who had been in a wait-and-see attitude before couldn't help but come over: "I knew that Xiaowei was smart, we haven't seen these things, I didn't expect Xiaowei to know how to use them, it's really amazing." ”

"Isn't it? When did Vicky let us down? Even if you move your mouth on the side, as long as you get Xiaowei's guidance, your cooking skills must be compared to Xiangyunlou. ”
