58. Spicy crayfish

If the little marquis wants to know what she did today, he can ask the little mirror directly, why do you have to ask this question?

Meng Wei was puzzled, but she didn't hide it: "The slave maid and the little mirror went to Xiangyun Building early in the morning to find the chef there Master Xu, and went to his home, in a small village called Gushan Village in Linzhen Town, the capital, mainly to help him see the pest of the pepper tree, and when he came, he also gave me a small jar of peppercorns, and when he came, he made food for the little marquis." ”

Ye Zichuan raised his eyebrows: "I heard that you brought back a bucket of things, what are you going to do?" ”

"Little Hou Ye, that thing is delicious, and very delicious, it is best to eat it as a supper, now Aunt Lin and the people in the kitchen are cleaning, and the slave maid will send you a plate later."

"Okay, but my husband is going to the dinner today, so I don't have to send it to her."

"The slave knows."

Ye Zichuan waved his hand, Fang Yuan asked people to remove the dishes on the table, and went out first to order people to prepare Meng Wei to leave with him.

Out of the house, Meng Wei beckoned to Fang Yuan: "Xiao Yuanzi, I'll leave first, if you want to eat supper, do you want me to leave you a little later?" ”

"No," Fang Yuan pursed his lips, and when he saw that Meng Wei was about to leave, he spoke again, "What tricks do you have for the little marquis?" ”

Knack?

Meng Wei stopped her steps and looked at Fang Yuan in some surprise.

Could it be that she didn't come back at noon, and Xiao Yuanzi Bucai made Xiao Hou Ye unhappy?

But not to mention that Aunt Lin's cooking skills have improved a lot now, which makes the little Hou Ye full of praise, that is, before Meng Wei didn't mention Aunt Lin, the little Hou Ye didn't do this, at most because the dishes were not delicious and greasy and ate less.

Meng Wei thought for a while and said bluntly: "Actually, there is no trick, just mix meat and vegetables." ”

If you only eat meat dishes, then it will inevitably be greasy, and similarly, there are not many men who like to eat vegetarians.

"That's it?"

"So what?" After Meng Wei finished speaking, seeing Fang Yuan's face that had not changed all year round, she thought of something, "Actually, if you want to say that there is really a trick." ”

"What is it?"

Meng Wei pointed to her smiling face: "That's a smile, when you eat alone, it's not about completing the task, but about relaxing and enjoying it, think about it, if you eat happily, there is a person standing next to you who doesn't even have a smiling face, and has a black face, can your appetite be good?" ”

Fang Yuan thought for a while, his eyes were faint: "Yes, as long as it's not the little marquis, what does it have to do with me eating whether others laugh or not?" ”

I'll go!

Meng Wei resisted the urge to touch her forehead, and twitched the corners of her mouth and didn't know what to say.

Well, she underestimated Xiao Yuanzi's strong heart and non-caring attitude, no matter how good the people around her were, they couldn't affect him at all.

"If that's what you think, I'll just say it."

Anyway, she also taught the method, and she won't be blamed when the time comes.

When Meng Wei returned to the kitchen, Aunt Lin and the others had already cleaned the crayfish, and Meng Wei was overjoyed: "How are those peppers sunburning?" ”

Although the peppers have only been dried for a day, they are better than none at all.

Aunt Lin pointed to the jar of chili peppers on the side: "Over there, you see, it is estimated that it will take a few more days to dry." ”

The chili peppers are not dry enough, but they are much better than the ones sent the day before yesterday, although they are a little worse than the dried chili peppers, but they can still be made into crayfish.

If the crayfish before looked at the teeth and claws, and some of them were cyan, it seemed that Aunt Lin and other people who didn't know the deliciousness of crayfish had some doubts, but after a while, when Aunt Lin opened the lid of the pot, the fragrance suddenly made Aunt Lin close her eyes and smell it: "It's so fragrant!" ”

Even the real people on the side also clasped their hands in front of him, smelling the smell and enjoying it.

Meng Wei stretched out her head, and saw that the crayfish in the pot had already been smothered, and the red crayfish and the small section of millet pepper were set off red, just looking at it made people feel drooling.

Aunt Lin added a small bowl and put it on the wooden table next to her: "Xiaowei, this is going to be shelled, right?" ”

That's what he said, but Li Shu, you are also a little confused, usually the Hou Mansion makes shrimp, but they directly peel the skin to make shrimp, originally they also planned to peel the skin and fry it again, but they didn't expect Meng Wei to say that they can't remove the shell, and it will be more delicious if they do it together with the shell.

And no one had eaten this green worm before, so for a while, Aunt Lin wasn't sure if it was like other shrimps.

Meng Wei simply picked the bottom big lobster, peeled the shell in three or two, and then handed it to Zhen'er's lips: "How about you taste it?" ”

Zhen'er ate without the slightest hesitation, even if it was something she had never eaten, but she remembered Meng Wei's kindness to her these days, so she believed that Meng Wei would not harm her.

Although the crayfish is underneath, it is stained with a lot of soup, but when Meng Wei peels off the shell of the crayfish, there is not much soup that is really mixed in the shrimp, but just a little bit is enough, if there is too much soup, it will inevitably make people notice the fishy smell.

That's probably how it is.

"Zhen'er, how does it taste?"

Aunt Lin tightened the shovel in her hand to urge, Zhen'er didn't speak, but chewed the shrimp, and after a while, she swallowed it into her stomach, and looked at the bowl of crayfish with light in her eyes and swallowed her saliva: "This, this is really delicious, I just saw you ask Aunt Lin to put so many chili peppers, and I thought it would be very spicy, but I didn't expect that not only did it taste good, but it was not spicy, and it was a little sweet and silky when you tasted it carefully." ”

Meng Wei knew that this was the reason for adding white sugar, although she knew that the deliciousness of spicy crayfish had conquered countless people in modern times, but in this ancient world, Meng Wei was still a little worried.

Now seeing that Zhen'er also praised it like this, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and picked up another one and peeled off the shell: "Aunt Lin, since Zhen'er said so, let's try it too, anyway, this thing is not expensive, and when the time comes, we can eat it privately if we want to." ”

That is to say, but it is now the end of July, the best season to eat crayfish is July and August, although there are also in September and October, but July and August are the best breeding season, crayfish are big and full, in the hot summer, this crayfish is undoubtedly an appetizer.

After speaking, Meng Wei had already dialed the shell, the tender red and spicy shrimp entrance, the faint spicy taste had not yet spread, and it was mixed with a hint of just the right amount of sweetness, and the slight spicy meaning on the tip of the tongue made people can't help but want to continue eating.

In fact, Meng Wei did the same, seeing that Meng Wei picked up the crayfish again and ate it, Aunt Lin also put aside the doubts in her heart and picked up a big lobster.
