110. Know people and make good use of them

The old lady drank two cups in a row, and then ate a chopsticks of sour and spicy sour bamboo shoots, feeling that if this day can be so comfortable every day, it will be enjoyable.

The old lady was eating to her heart's content, when she heard Ye Zichuan say: "Grandfather, yesterday my mother asked someone to hand a letter to my aunt, saying that you were here, and I received a message from my aunt this morning, saying that I asked my cousin to come out of the palace on her behalf to ask for peace." ”

Ye Zichuan's aunt Ye Guifei is the youngest daughter of the old lady, who has been in the palace since she was a child, even if she is in a high position, she can't leave the palace at will, so it is indeed reasonable to let the fourth prince come to greet the old lady.

"It's great that Yun Heng is coming, I haven't seen him in a few days."

The old lady ate to the fullest, but didn't want to pick up the wine jug and wanted to pour a glass, the wine jug tilted, but only a few drops of wine dripped down, and it was shallow to cover the bottom of the glass.

"Why is this gone?" The old lady frowned at the cup in his hand that was less than the size of his mouth, "I remember that I only drank four cups just now, why is it gone?" ”

Before he could answer, the old lady directly picked up the palm-sized cup where he was drinking tea in front of him and poured another pot of wine into it.

But he didn't want to fill just one glass and the bottom of the other glass, and the pot of wine in his hand would be emptied.

"Do you drink the same thing?"

Ye Zichuan touched his nose weakly: "Grandfather, you have to believe that concentration is the essence, this wine needs to be savored like the fine wine in the palace, and Meng Wei is already preparing to brew the second batch." ”

"How long does that take to brew? It doesn't have to be that long for a year and a half, right? ”

"It's not necessary, it only takes about half a month."

The old lady was relieved, and Meng Wei also took a nap and felt a lot more energetic.

Meng Wei originally planned to go to Ye Zichuan, but she heard the little mirror say that Ye Zichuan went to the old lady.

Then he went to the kitchen as a routine, and as soon as he entered, he smelled a greasy smell of meat, although Aunt Lin's craftsmanship tasted a lot better under Meng Wei's guidance, but this summer was easy to get tired and sleepy, even if the dishes tasted good, but smelling too much would make people lose their appetite.

Although she told Aunt Lin before that she would try to cook as many light vegetarian dishes as possible this summer, Aunt Lin always stir-fried vegetables tasted the same, not to mention that there was an old lady who loved meat, so she wanted to show the old lady her improved cooking skills.

Meng Wei frowned, the taste was too mixed, she couldn't smell what the dish was for a while, so she stepped forward and asked, "Aunt Lin, what are you doing here?" ”

Why does it smell a bit like fishy?

"I'm making fish soup, I also made braised pork, Prince Chu is here, and the four princes will come later, although I ate a whole beef banquet yesterday, and the four princes have also eaten a lot of delicacies from the mountains and seas, but they can't be vegan, right? I wanted to make less meat dishes, so I chose a few hard dishes that I am good at. ”

A hard dish that you can get your hands on

Meng Wei twitched the corners of her mouth, Aunt Lin's specialty dishes were all braised pork, elbows and other dishes that were almost pure meat.

"Aunt Lin, you can't make elbows and braised pork or something, right?"

"That's right," Aunt Lin looked at Meng Wei and frowned, and asked in a whisper, "What's wrong?" Could it be that the little marquis is picky again? ”

"It's not, it's just that I ate a complete beef banquet yesterday, don't forget that the Hou Ye ate with his wife and the little Hou Ye yesterday, even if the old lady is not greasy, presumably the three of them will feel greasy when they see this greasy thing again."

"So what to do? My braised pork has been watered once, although it has not been cut into small pieces, but this meat has also been cooked, is it difficult to throw it away like this? ”

Of course, it is impossible to throw it away, most of the dishes she makes don't like too many portions, that's because she doesn't like the leftovers of the delicious food she has carefully made, so she simply decides the portion size according to the number of people, but this does not mean that she is a wasteful person.

Looking at the ingredients that had been prepared, Meng Wei thought about it and decided to give a little pointer: "Is there any rice?" The kind of ordinary one is fine, ground and steamed with meat, don't braise it. ”

Meng Wei decided to make the pork belly that had passed through the water into steamed pork, wrapped in rice noodles on the outside, soft and tender, melted in the mouth, and was much better than braised pork.

He commanded again, and oiled the elbow that was ready to be stewed and made it into a sauce elbow.

Then she rolled up her sleeves and made a few vegetarian dishes herself, after all, the four princes and Chu Jingfeng came to the Hou Mansion again, and she thought about brushing up her good feelings in front of Ye Zichuan's two friends, so that she could accumulate her own contacts - although their noble status may not necessarily make friends with them, but as long as they subdue the stomachs of these two people, if she opens a restaurant in the future, maybe this is her potential VIP customer?

Dare to ask the restaurant frequented by the four princes, the little marquis and the prime minister's son-in-law, who would be so uneasy to find trouble?

Since the last time Chu Jingfeng came to the Houguo Mansion for dinner, he never forgot it when he returned to the mansion, he only described the taste, but he didn't know how to do it, which made the cook at home more and more sincere and fearful.

In desperation, he also knew that the cook at home did not have Meng Wei's cooking skills, and he was thinking about when to find a reason to go for another meal, but he didn't want to hear that Ye Zichuan's old lady had come to Beijing before he thought about it.

Chu Jingfeng knew that Nangong Yunheng would definitely come, so he also came cheekily.

The four princes came, and the Marquis of the Protector had to go back to the house even if he was busy, and in Chu Jingfeng's expectant eyes, he made people set the meal, but he was faintly proud in his heart, sure enough, the one in their house was the best, and Meng Wei's craftsmanship was afraid that he could compare with those people in the imperial dining room.

The next time anyone says that his son is not doing his job, he will let people come to the house to taste it, so that the other party knows what it means to know what it means to know people and make good use of them!

One meal after another was put on the table, different from the seafood dinner made in Xiangyun Mansion for the first time, and different from the spicy dishes that challenged the vision made when the Four Princes were in the mansion before, this time it looked milder.

The so-called mildness refers to the visual mildness, last time Meng Wei put chili peppers in many dishes, so that many dishes looked red and appetizing, and this time, there are very few dishes with chili peppers, which look like Cantonese cuisine or Lu cuisine as mild and elegant, but inexplicably soothe people's irritability.

"Are these the latest dishes in your house?"

Chu Jingfeng was surprised to find that there were many dishes that he couldn't name, he had eaten and knew this dish separately, but when it was made into a dish with another dish, he was a little dumbfounded.

And one of the dishes not far from him was not served on a plate, but in a miniature version of the steamer he often saw on the street, which made him full of doubts.
