46. A cold and hard and unsmiling face
For a while, the people in the kitchen were all chopping chili peppers with great interest, and the sound of kitchen knives and cutting boards was endless, which sounded pleasant, and Meng Wei was idle while drinking juice on the side.
Including Zhen'er and the two little maids the size of Meng Wei were all helping to wash the chili peppers on the side, their faces were full of joy, as if they were not doing work, but playing with their partners.
Meng Wei's idea was to use these to make chopped pepper sauce, and the rest of the ice cellar would be stir-fried with oil to make chili oil, and some more dried chili peppers would be made
Because buying chili peppers was just a whim, Meng Wei didn't think about the jar of sauce, so there were a lot of clay pots and wine jars in the kitchen, so Meng Wei asked people to seal those sauces in it for preservation.
Meng Wei's command here is in full swing, but Ye Zichuan is not so wonderful there.
The dishes were put on the table one by one, all of which Ye Zichuan loved to eat, but Ye Zichuan did not eat them directly, but waited for a while, and did not see any movement in the dishes in front of him, so he raised his head to look at the side, and opened his mouth to say something.
However, he found that there was only Xiao Yuanzi behind him, and then he remembered that Meng Wei's arm was injured, and he asked Meng Wei to rest for three days.
Fang Yuan saw Ye Zichuan's eyes and had some questions: "Little Hou Ye, Meng Wei is resting, do you want your subordinates to cook for you?" ”
"No, you don't."
He didn't want to look at a seven-foot-old man like Xiao Yuanzi trying vegetables in front of him, not to mention that he didn't have Meng Wei's understanding and matching of tasting dishes, just at his cold and hard and unsmiling face, Ye Zichuan felt that his appetite would be greatly reduced.
Ye Zichuan was eating the food by himself, I don't know why, he still ate like this half a month ago, obviously Aunt Lin's cooking skills have improved a lot, but he feels that the delicious meals in the past are now a little tasteless.
Therefore, he didn't eat much, Ye Zichuan felt that he had no appetite, but he couldn't find the reason, glanced at the dishes, and couldn't help but get irritable: "Why don't you see chili peppers in these dishes?" Didn't you say that the chili pepper was a seasoning? Is it the kitchen cutting corners or won't do it? ”
Just when Fang Yuan didn't know how to answer, Meng Wei happened to enter the house, and couldn't help but smile when she heard this: "Little Hou Ye, the slave maid has come to see you." ”
Seeing that it was Meng Wei, the small mirror guarding the door did not stop it, Meng Wei placed the plate full of chili peppers in her hand in the place closest to Ye Zichuan: "Although Mrs. and the little marquis are considerate of the slave and maid, but when it comes to dinner, the slave and maid can't stay, thinking about serving the little marquis for so long, I am afraid that the little marquis will not be used to it, and I want the chili pepper to be bought, and I want the little marquis to taste the taste of this chili pepper first." ”
said so, but only Meng Wei knew that this little marquis was not the first to eat a dish with chili peppers.
I don't know if Meng Wei's words spoke to his heart, or because of the concern in Meng Wei's words, but Ye Zichuan felt that the irritability in his heart seemed to be suppressed, and he didn't lose his appetite as much as he did just now when he looked at the dishes in front of him.
"What kind of dish is this?"
Ye Zichuan looked at the dish brought by Meng Wei next to him with some curiosity, the red one was very gratifying, but he couldn't feel a trace of heat: "The dish is cold?" ”
"Little Hou Ye misunderstood, this dish is called cold rabbit, as the name suggests, it is made of rabbit meat, and this dish is not delicious hot, only the cold is the most delicious, it is suitable for this hot summer, Xiao Hou Ye tasted it."
Ye Zichuan ate a small piece of rabbit in doubt, and the tender feeling made him stretch his brows, and when he tasted it carefully, he felt that his mouth began to have a spicy meaning, and there was no smell of rabbit meat.
Although there are a lot of chili peppers on the surface, because of the cold, it tastes just right for him to accept.
For the first time, he knew that rabbits could still be made so delicious, and he felt that it was a lot of food.
Meng Wei watched from the sidelines, very satisfied, if you want to say that this cold rabbit, the best thing is to use dried chili peppers, but unfortunately this dried chili pepper is not available now, if you want to eat it, you have to wait for several days to take it outside to dry.
Thinking of Aunt Lin and their spicy mouths and snots while eating in the kitchen, Meng Wei estimated that she would reduce the dosage, otherwise this little Hou Ye would be unbearable to be spicy.
And in this ancient time, chicken essence had not been invented, so Meng Wei thought about it, and added some mushrooms to fry it, which could make the rabbit meat more tender.
Now that chili pepper and Sichuan pepper have appeared, it seems that some seasonings such as tangerine peel and chicken essence can also be expanded.
By the way, there are also sesame seeds that can also be made into sesame paste, and there is also peanut butter sweet noodle sauce
Thinking about it this way, Meng Wei suddenly felt that she had a long way to go, but fortunately, she still had two days of rest, and she could take advantage of these two days to let Aunt Lin do it, but now she came here for another matter.
Although Meng Wei injured her right hand, as long as the action did not affect her movements, Meng Wei picked up the chopsticks on the side, but she didn't want Ye Zichuan to speak: "If you are injured, don't serve the master, just watch from the side." ”
Since there is no need to serve, Meng Wei is also happy to be idle.
Perhaps it was the first time that Meng Wei was watched so bluntly, which made Ye Zichuan a little uncomfortable.
Fortunately, he had already eaten almost, so he took the handkerchief handed by Meng Wei and wiped his mouth, and said, "Don't you have anything else to say?" ”
Meng Wei's eyes lit up when she heard this, but her face was a little speechless.
"Tell me, what is it that makes you look forward to Ai Ai like this?"
"The slave wants to leave the house tomorrow."
"Out of the house?" Ye Zichuan raised his eyebrows, and asked people to remove the food from the table, "Ye is thinking that you are injured and let you rest for a few days, you are injured and do not rest, but you want to leave the house, why is this?" ”
Ye Zichuan glanced at Meng Wei, and felt that such a little maid should not have the idea of dressing up yet, didn't those women in the house go out because they wanted to buy clothes and jewelry?
It's like his mother only needs to go out of the house, if it's not a banquet, then it's going out to buy things.
Or maybe a certain shop has a new pastry, but Ye Zichuan thinks that Meng Wei's craftsmanship is so good, so naturally he doesn't need to eat things outside, and besides, I am afraid that many things in the capital are not affordable by Meng Wei, a little girl.
Meng Wei didn't know that Ye Zichuan had thought a lot of nonsense in his heart, and only said: "After the slave made that dish in Xiangyun Mansion today, Master Xu of Xiangyun Mansion said that he wanted to ask the slave and maid for cooking skills, and the slave and maid thought that he was humble and studious, and wanted to see his secret recipe, if he could get the secret recipe, then the slave and maid would be able to make more and better food for the little marquis." ”
