25. Moving gold
Aunt Lin listened and nodded: "That's the reason, then this plate of braised pork...... Xiaowei said you eat, you can eat, Xiaowei, what are you going to give Xiao Hou Ye to eat to relieve the heat? ”
Speaking of which, this is what Aunt Lin cares more about. Thinking of the cold skin she ate this morning, if she hadn't been involved in it, and saw with her own eyes how it changed from a ball of flour to such a crystal clear cold skin, she would not have believed that it was made of the most ordinary flour.
Now that she heard that Meng Wei was going to eat, she suddenly became interested, and she didn't even care about the braised pork that she was a little reluctant to give to others just now, and waved her hand directly at the group of greedy people: "This plate of braised pork is out of my own pocket to invite everyone, you go to the side to eat, Xiaowei, I'll help you make it together, what kind of strength do you need me to do, just ask." ”
Meng Wei thought about it and decided to make some ice juice: "Aunt Lin, are there ice cubes in the kitchen?" ”
When she was serving the little marquis before, a lot of ice cubes were placed in the four corners of the room to cool down, but there were no electric fans and air conditioners to cool down.
So since there are ice cubes in the Hou Mansion, there is nothing wrong with making some ice juice, but I don't know if Aunt Lin wants to get it.
It turned out that Meng Wei's worries were superfluous, and before her words fell, Aunt Lin nodded hurriedly: "There is no one in the kitchen, but if Xiaowei wants to use ice, I will go to the housekeeper to get it now, is it possible that Xiaowei You want chilled fruits to give to Xiaohouye?" ”
"Chilled fruit?"
"Yes, the weather is too hot, the master wants to eat something cold, we will send some chilled fruits, but the little marquis is very picky, many fruits don't like to eat, and there are peeled fruits I don't like much, I haven't eaten a few fruits in the past month, at most eat a few crispy dates."
Speaking of this, Aunt Lin's face was sad, this is an errand in the Protector's Mansion, the treatment is good, the person is not bad, the only thing that worries her is that this little Hou Ye is too picky, and she always racks her brains.
Knowing Aunt Lin's worries, Meng Wei shook her head: "Aunt Lin, I don't prepare chilled fruits, I think the reason why the little marquis doesn't like those fruits is because the fruit is troublesome to peel and eat, and secondly, because he has to spit out the seeds when he chews and eats it so much...... So I decided to make one that directly turns eating into drinking. ”
"Turned into drinking?"
Aunt Lin said she couldn't imagine it.
Meng Wei didn't explain much, she only asked Aunt Lin to ask for more ice cubes, and then let people prepare more fruits, after all, she didn't know that Xiao Hou Ye was there when she left, and Hou Ye and Mrs. Hou Ye were also there, so since she had to prepare, one cup was a preparation, and it was not a big deal to prepare two more servings, anyway, it was not yet time to perfect, and the people in the kitchen could come to help with nothing for the time being.
After all, this kind of juice squeezing is not a technical thing, but these ancients were used to eating fruits directly, so they didn't think of such a layer.
Aunt Lin was very efficient, and she ran back after a while, followed by two people, carrying a long cloth together, and a big ice cube was placed on top of the long cloth, which surprised Meng Wei a little.
"Xiaowei, do you think this ice cube is enough? I'll ...... if it's not enough."
"Enough is enough, this can be done a lot, it's really hard Aunt Lin and the two little brothers."
One of the fundamentals of Ansheng's life is that in addition to judging the situation, sweetness is also very important, if you can make the other party happy and make a good relationship with your mouth, it is still very cost-effective.
The two of them heard yesterday that Meng Wei was named a food tasting maid by the little marquis, and she has moved to the Sichuan Theater, although the quantile has not been promoted, but how to say that she is a celebrity in front of the little marquis, just now I heard Aunt Lin so attentive I thought that Meng Wei would be difficult to get along with, but I didn't want to be so polite.
A 'little brother' suddenly flattered the two, and they hurriedly waved their hands and blushed and said, "No, it's nothing, the housekeeper asked us to deliver ice cubes, we don't work hard." ”
Aunt Lin also went to the road, and when she saw Meng Wei being so polite to them, she stuffed a peach for them and sent them away.
By the time the two of them left, the helpers and little maids in the kitchen had already finished eating the braised pork, and at this moment, when they heard Meng Wei say that they wanted to turn fruit into drink, they couldn't help but look at her with bright eyes, as if she was the moving gold.
Meng Wei smiled faintly, what she wants is labor, the more the better, otherwise her little arms and legs will not have much strength to juice at all.
In ancient times, there was no juicer, and Meng Wei's so-called juicing was just for those people to mash the flesh into juice, and then spread clean gauze in a bowl as a filter, separating the pulp from the juice, so that the juice would be more delicate.
As for the ice cubes, Meng Wei also chose two women with the strongest bodies and the most strength to take knives and scrape out fine ice cubes layer by layer and put them in, so that the ice juice would be good.
Before, I was afraid that it would not be enough, so Meng Wei asked people to prepare a lot of fruits, so there was a lot more juice squeezed.
"Such an easy way, how come I didn't think of it before?"
"Yes, yes, although we work harder, the master drinks better than eating seeds one by one."
"Gollum," one of them swallowed, looking cautiously at the glossy juice, "I don't know what it feels like, but I guess it's better than the chilled fruit." ”
Meng Wei poured three bowls of extra juice and handed them to Aunt Lin, Zhen'er and herself: "You can taste it, there are many more here, although it can't make everyone enjoy it, but it's still okay to try it." ”
"This ...... Do we have a share too? ”
"Miss Xiaowei, your heart is so good."
"But if the master knows, will he be angry......"
"What's the matter with the master's knowledge? You haven't drunk it before, so it's not right to give it to your master what you haven't tasted before? The master is not a cat or a dog, if it tastes bad, are we not sinners? All of you are cooks, so how about you not taste your own craftsmanship in all the meals you cook? ”
The three of them, who had hesitated before, couldn't help but look at each other, feeling that Meng Wei was reasonable, seeing that Meng Wei didn't care about holding the wooden bowl and drinking it all at once, and then stopped grinding and drank it.
As soon as they moved, two little maids who were about the same age as Meng Wei on the side also started drinking.
"Ahh It's really delicious, drinking a bowl in this weather is better than eating ice cubes directly. ”
"Hearing you say that, I don't feel so hot either."
"We also dragged Aunt Lin's blessing, so that we were able to taste the food made by Miss Xiaowei herself, no wonder Xiao Hou Ye would hand-pick Xiaowei to be a food tasting maid, which we couldn't even think of, but she was able to make unbelievable food."
For a while, many people in the kitchen competed to praise Meng Wei, and Meng Wei naturally accepted it.
