So, the old lady went home.

It's just that looking at the dishes of clear soup and white water on the table, I suddenly didn't even want to take the chopsticks: "You guys are harsh!" Even those who farm in the countryside have a meat to eat all year round, but if you look at these dishes, you can't see a single meat foam, I have lost a lot of weight! ”

Meng Wei looked at the old lady's sturdy figure and red face, and she really couldn't find where the word 'thin' was reflected.

The old lady sighed, but in the end, people are iron rice or steel, it was already past lunch time, and the old lady was really hungry, so no matter how uncomfortable it was, he ate a bowl of it.

However, the amount of food was less than half of the past, her face was sad, and she said some specious things to her when Meng Wei left: "Xiao Meng, your skills are good, have you studied any new dishes recently?" ”

"The slave hasn't been working on any new dishes lately."

Recently, the weather has been getting cooler, and she has begun to want to sleep in, let alone research new dishes.

"How is Zichuan treating you? How long are you left to be with Hui? ”

Meng Wei thought about it, although she is ten years old now, she will be eleven years old, although it is said here that the virtual age is two years long, but this and Hui's age is calculated according to the reality, so she did not hide it: "The slave maid still has four years." ”

"Four years? There are still waiting, but it's also fast, Zichuan is a filial piety, although his temperament is not calm enough, but he is not the kind of mischievous that is rumored outside, if someone bullies you in the future, even if you come to me, how to say that you are also grown up by me, with your craftsmanship and filial piety, I will naturally make decisions for you. ”

"The slave and maid thanked the old lady for her concern, but the people in the house are very good, and no one will bully the slave and maid."

said so, but Meng Wei always felt that there was something in this, which was very strange, but she couldn't figure it out for a while.

But there is one thing she thinks the old lady is right, although Ye Zichuan is not very good outside, even if he got the spicy crayfish that was all the rage before, it was just a compliment that people remembered, but it couldn't change his impression of others - although she didn't know where it came from, but this was rumored outside, and she couldn't help it.

It may also be because there are too few entertainment items in ancient times, and a little bit of arrogance and a feeling of 'not bad money' will make people feel embarrassed, but compared to the countless BMW cars in later generations, changing girlfriends such as changing clothes, clubbing and fighting in nightclubs, etc., Ye Zichuan is just a small thing.

No matter what, Ye Zichuan doesn't have all kinds of carriages, and as for women, she doesn't, she has to secretly let someone buy the Oiran self-portrait, at most, it's just a little yellow book that she secretly looks at in the study and doesn't even have a face, in her opinion, it can be regarded as a clear stream in the rich second generation.

If I can't figure it out, Meng Wei doesn't want to, as for the old lady's praise for her craftsmanship, she only regards it as a compliment to her, but she automatically ignores filial piety or something.

There's no way, she was an orphan in her previous life, she didn't experience any family affection, and she didn't have that kind of virgin mentality, she just wanted to do her part well, so filial piety or something didn't work with her.

However, Meng Wei is not a cold person in the end, and if she is good to her, she will also repay the favor.

When she returned to the kitchen, Aunt Lin looked at the meals that the maids had withdrawn and frowned: "Why did you eat so much vegetarian food without any oil and water?" I'm afraid it won't be long before I'm going to be hungry and panic. ”

"But the old lady thinks that being a vegetarian is like eating grass"

Aunt Lin's face was sad for a moment, and the next moment her eyes lit up: "Xiaowei, I still remember that not long after the old lady returned to the house, Young Master Chu also came to the house as a guest, and the meat you made with mushrooms and other vegetarian dishes was good, don't you say that they don't know yet, otherwise how about we make some dinner for the old lady?" ”

"Yes," she actually had this idea for a long time, but she just thought about eating vegetarian dishes for a few days first, and then making some delicious treats when the old lady couldn't help it, where did she think that the old lady couldn't support it for only a few days, "It's a little too late for dinner, so it can only be tomorrow." Aunt Lin, you will talk to Mrs. and Hou Ye in advance, and there are Ning guards, just say to make some delicious vegetarian food, but the old lady doesn't ask for materials, so we won't talk about it, so as not to let the old lady listen to it and don't want to eat it. ”

"Okay, I'll report later."

Maybe Meng Wei had made two dishes that tasted good before, so when he went to report it, the Protector agreed immediately, and even said that he would accompany the old lady to use the vegetarian food with Mrs. Protector at that time.

The Protector and his wife both went, and Ye Zichuan naturally wanted to go too, but he also loved meat, and when he heard Fang Yuan relay the words of the Protector to him, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Meng Wei: "In addition to the vegetarian abalone like last time, do you still cook a lot of vegetarian dishes?" What the master said is that the taste is not inferior at all. ”

"Although the little marquis can rest assured, the slave and maid will do it, I'm afraid that the biggest banquet table can't fit it."

"That's good."

The largest banquet table in the house was used during the all-beef banquet, and it could put more than fifty dishes, and if it couldn't be placed, and it was exquisite, then he could rest assured.

It was still early, Ye Zichuan read the book for a while, then took Meng Wei and Fang Yuan out of the door, and asked casually as he walked: "I heard that there are not enough chili peppers in the house, but they still sell a lot to Xiangyunlou every day, won't there be no more in the house by then?" ”

Ye Zichuan doesn't care about the ingredients in the kitchen, since Meng Wei has cooked with chili peppers, he has made some dishes with chili peppers from time to time, which can not only serve wine, but also delicious, so that he can eat a lot of spicy food these days, and even a little spicy.

If there were no chili peppers in this Hou Mansion, wouldn't he be able to eat them again?

When Meng Wei heard this, she smiled: "There are indeed not many chili peppers in the kitchen, but it is still enough for more than half a month. ”

The growth cycle of chili peppers is only about three months, and there is no seasonality, only a few chili seeds in the chili peppers are needed to form a plant, and there are a lot of chili peppers on a plant, and they can be picked and knotted again, so the yield is also more.

As for why Xu Zhen should take people over, this is better understood, she does have merit in receiving the Hou Mansion, but it is nothing more than a reward of a few taels of silver, but if it is planted in the back mountain of Xu Zhen, then it can be sold to the restaurant and the Hou Mansion in the future, which is equivalent to an extra income.
