50. Pests

Although she came out early, she didn't want to soak in this kitchen all morning on a hot day, and there was a small mirror on the side to explain that her hand was injured, so Meng Wei calmly commanded Master Xu to be busy.

Regarding breakfast, Meng Wei actually has a lot of ideas, but those noodles or other ingredients require a lot of processes like cold skin, so Meng Wei handed over two simple breakfasts to Master Xu, which are fried buns and potstickers.

The fried buns are filled with pure meat, and the potstickers are made with eggs, a little shrimp and leeks to make a three-fresh potsticker.

When Master Xu was about to finish, the shopkeeper came, and when he saw that everyone was eating around the pot, he looked at the things in the pot, smelling the fragrance, even if he had already eaten, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva: "Master Xu, this, what are you doing?" ”

Master Xu happened to drain a lot of oil from the last pot of potstickers and put them on a plate, so he replied a little proudly: "It was taught to me by the little master, have you eaten it from the shopkeeper?" How about you try it? ”

"It just so happens that I haven't eaten yet," the shopkeeper couldn't help but feel full, and picked up the chopsticks without blinking and grabbed a piece of potsticker, "Well, this tastes so delicious, there is a sink inside, not bad, crispy and burnt on the outside, smooth and refreshing on the inside, and this bun, a bite down with oil, this soup is really delicious." ”

Saying this, the shopkeeper sandwiched another raw frying, and when he was about to eat the potstickers again, he couldn't help but burp, and then smiled embarrassedly: "I just remembered that I seemed to have eaten breakfast, and this is still too delicious." ”

Seeing the shopkeeper smiling at her, Meng Wei naturally wouldn't fail to appreciate it: "Although these two things are instructed by me, they are made by Master Xu himself, and I think Master Xu will come back, if the shopkeeper thinks it is delicious, it would be good to let Master Xu make it again tomorrow or at night." ”

"This, how can this be done? This is the little master you"

Hearing Meng Wei say this, Master Xu couldn't help but be anxious, he did know, but he felt that this was Meng Wei's craft, and it was not easy for Meng Wei to guide him, so naturally he would not think of using the dishes invented by Meng Wei to make a profit for himself.

"Master Xu, in fact, I came to you for something else, although these two breakfasts are delicious, as long as the person who knows how to cook knows how to do it after a little thought, and since I handed these two things to you, I didn't think about letting you hide them, even if Xiangyunlou uses these two dishes to sell them, I have no opinion."

She now wants to find out the whereabouts of those peppercorns, as for these two things are indeed as easy to make as she said, even if Master Xu doesn't do it, but there are many people who have eaten these two things in the kitchen today, these people are often in the kitchen and deal with all kinds of dishes, maybe those complicated dishes can't be made, but such a simple breakfast can be touched as long as you try it a few times.

Instead of cheapening others at that time, it is better to let the shopkeeper and Master Xu benefit first.

The shopkeeper is also a human spirit, although he doesn't know the little mirror, but he knows the clothes on the little mirror, thinking that even if Meng Wei didn't follow Ye Zichuan today, but the little mirror is wearing the clothes of the Protector's Mansion, then Ye Zichuan must know that Meng Wei is here, and what he must say is not a trivial matter.

"Since the little master said so, then thank you little master. Since the little master has something to say to Master Xu, there are many people in this kitchen, why don't you go to the front to discuss? ”

The two naturally agreed, and the shopkeeper led them to the cubicle where he often drank tea and left.

Meng Wei has a lot of good feelings for the shopkeeper in her heart, this is a person who knows the times, no wonder she can run Xiangyun Building so big, and she can train Xiao Er so well.

There were only two people left in the room, and the small mirror was guarding outside, and Meng Wei didn't beat around the bush when she saw this: "Master Xu, you"

"Little master, you"

The two spoke together, Meng Wei smiled, and hurriedly said, "Master Xu is older than me, you say it first." ”

"Little master, from the first time you made that peanut, I saw that although you are young, you are a person with great ability," Speaking of this, Master Xu rubbed his hands and swallowed his saliva a little nervously, "After the dish you made yesterday, I am more aware of my shallow understanding of cooking skills, I wonder what the little master thinks of my understanding?" I, I want to worship you as a teacher? ”

Meng Wei was overjoyed when she heard this, this Master Xu seemed to have a good character, and she had seen that this Master Xu's status in this Xiangyun Building should be quite high two times before, even the shopkeeper was polite when he talked to him, and although she said that she was guiding Master Xu to make breakfast just now, in fact, she only moved her mouth and did not move her hands on the side, and everything was done by Master Xu himself.

If it is an ordinary person, he will definitely be dissatisfied, but this Chef Xu is happy to do it, it can be seen that this person is an honest person, and he is still the kind of person who is really obsessed with cooking, so even if she is young, she doesn't care at all and wants to worship her as a teacher.

Remembering that after her career became bigger, the chef she recruited thought that the hotel business was good, and she felt that she was famous, and she thought about talking to her about conditions and salary increases every year, and other excessive conditions, although this Master Xu was a little older, but this mentality was very appreciated by Meng Wei.

"Actually, it's not impossible to take you as an apprentice, but I'm here today to ask you about that secret recipe."

"The secret ingredient? Is that the pepper you talked about yesterday? ”

"Yes, although you have ground that pepper into powder, I have seen it before, and it grows on a branch, a round red thing, with short thorns and is prone to insects."

Meng Wei explained the situation of the pepper in as much detail as possible, just to make Master Xu believe that she had not seen the prototype of the pepper, so that Master Xu could believe in her more.

However, Meng Wei didn't expect her words to make Master Xu's eyes light up, full of excitement: "Little master, you have really seen that secret recipe is wrong, it is peppercorns, to be honest, I have been raising this pepper for several years, but recently the number of peppercorns produced by each tree is getting smaller and smaller, I am really afraid that if I can't wait for next year, those pepper trees will all die." ”

"It just so happens that I know some ways to control pests, if you don't mind, can you take me to your place?"

Meng Wei was happy in her heart, when she first opened a small restaurant in her previous life, in order to save expenses, she rented a house in the small courtyard of a farmer, which is the kind of one, three or four-story building, a bit similar to a miscellaneous courtyard, and someone planted a grapefruit tree and a pepper tree in the yard.

A tree will bear a lot of peppercorns, so every time the landlord picks some, the rest is picked by the people in their yard.
