10. Nothing to do
Just now she just waited and said casually, she hadn't eaten meat for a long time, and when she saw the shiny braised pork at first glance, she only felt that there was a burst of sour water in her stomach, and she couldn't wait to eat it directly with the plate, how could she be willing to ask others to share it?
That's why this little mirror is on the road, knowing not to disturb people to enjoy the food.
Meng Wei happily sandwiched a piece of braised pork, but as soon as she entered her mouth, the joy on her face instantly converged a lot.
"This taste...... It seems that there is no sugar, rock sugar is used when the juice is collected at the end, it will play a role in adding color, flavor and brightness, I was too excited just now to pay too much attention to this color is indeed a little lacking, there is no monosodium glutamate to enhance the taste, and it is not crispy enough......"
Looking at the braised pork she had been looking forward to for a long time, Meng Wei sighed softly, feeling a little disappointed.
It's much worse than her craftsmanship, and there is no chili dish, so I always feel as if something is missing.
Maybe it was because she ate a lot of chicken, duck and fish when she tried the dishes for Xiao Hou Ye before, or maybe she had too much expectation for this braised pork before, so she was a little disappointed when she found that it was not as good as she imagined, so her appetite also decreased a lot.
Meng Wei will not be able to eat a third of it, maybe this is delicious for the original owner, but for her, the owner who has tasted delicious food and has even opened several chain stores, this is indeed a little unsuitable for her.
If it weren't for the fact that this body had almost forgotten the smell of meat, she might not even be able to eat a third of it, without adding rock sugar, not only did it look a little worse, but the taste was also a lot worse, and it looked a little greasy.
Meng Wei thought about it, opened the door and poked her head, but she didn't see the little mirror and the horse steward, so Meng Wei turned around and took the plate of braised pork out of the Sichuan Courtyard, and went back to the chase shop near the kitchen where she used to live.
Now that the sun was blazing and the maids were busy, Meng Wei put the braised pork on the table and walked towards the back door of the kitchen.
As soon as she stood still, there were a few little maids about her size who were busy inside, and only a few of the older ones were preparing side dishes for dinner.
As for Aunt Lin, she was drinking sweet soup with a few women who helped the cook.
Before Meng Wei could say anything, someone caught a glimpse of her first, and hurriedly got up and pulled her to sit aside: "Xiaowei, why are you here?" Didn't the little marquis go out of the house? Could it be that you want to make some new food for the little marquis? ”
"I ......"
Before Meng Wei could speak, Aunt Lin, who was still laughing comfortably, got up suddenly, and her slightly bloated tiger body rushed over, squeezing out the woman who had just pulled her to sit down, and sat directly next to Meng Wei, smiling like a blooming chrysanthemum: "Xiaowei, how about the braised pork I made just now?" I put a lot of thought into choosing the best piece of belly, and if you have anything else you want to eat, just come to me, as long as it's not shark fin bird's nest. I'll try to make you something if you want to eat. ”
Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief!
Meng Wei looked at Aunt Lin's smiling face with some surprise, and then her thoughts turned and she couldn't help but understand.
It didn't take long, even Mrs. Hou Ye knew that Xiao Hou Ye had a big appetite today, although she is still a third-class maid, but she has not forgotten what Xiao Mirror said, except for Xiao Hou Ye in Chuanju Courtyard, there is only Ma Steward, Xiao Hou Ye's attendant Xiao Yuanzi and Xiao Mirror three people.
Now there is another one more her, you must know that the little marquis is the only son of the marquis, and he will inherit the title of the marquis in the future, so these subordinates want to slap her up and let her say a few good words in front of the little marquis.
Seeing that a few people were laughing too eagerly, Meng Wei felt that a person as restrained as Mrs. Hou must also know how to properly appease her subordinates.
If Aunt Lin did this, it would be understandable, after all, she was in charge of cooking at noon today, if she hadn't let the little Hou Ye eat a lot, maybe when Mrs. Hou Ye would blame her, Aunt Lin would be unlucky.
As for the others, they are so attentive......
Meng Wei felt that it was probably today's incident, which made Aunt Lin indirectly benefit......
But Meng Wei didn't care, since she decided to hug the thigh of the little Hou Ye, and the little Hou Ye was a potential foodie with a picky mouth, then if she wanted to hug her more firmly in the future, she could only tempt him with food from time to time.
And Aunt Lin is the leader of the kitchen, what she wants to do in the future will inevitably have contact with Aunt Lin.
In line with the idea that one more enemy is better than one more friend, Meng Wei naturally would not refuse Aunt Lin's overtures: "Aunt Lin, your craftsmanship is naturally very good, but my stomach is too weak, even if I want to eat it, I can't eat too much greasy things at once, no, I can't finish eating, so I think that my head was dizzy from the heat some time ago, and Zhen'er still takes care of me, so I want to call Shang'er Zhen'er to share it with me." ”
If Meng Wei wanted to quietly call Shang'er to eat braised pork just now, firstly, she didn't want to waste it, and secondly, she thought that this Zhen'er was as yellow and skinny as her, and the two were bought into the house together.
But what I didn't expect was that when she was unwell, it was Zhen'er who helped her hide it, and didn't bother to help her cover and even do something, so that she didn't get exposed, otherwise the sick and crooked body of the original owner before was afraid that it would really be discovered.
Therefore, although those braised pork are no longer attractive to her, she can't eat them, and if she throws them away, Aunt Lin will be angry and fall second, for fear that someone will chew the root of her tongue and say that she is trampling on the reward of the little marquis, one in front of her and one behind her back.
Moreover, she also has a good impression of this equally skinny little girl, and it is better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone, so she wants to give that plate of braised pork to Zhen'er to taste.
After a few days of getting along with Zhen'er, Meng Wei already knew that this Zhen'er was really as good as her name and too simple, so even if she didn't say what she meant now, she would be told by Aunt Lin as soon as she asked, it was better for her to say it directly, and she could call Zhen'er away to rest for a while.
Meng Wei expected it to be good, before the words fell, Aunt Lin not only did not feel unhappy at all, but was very happy with Meng Wei's praise, and she didn't need Meng Wei to go over, so she spoke directly to Zhen'er who was squatting in the corner of the wall not far away to wash the dishes: "Zhen'er, don't wash it, let me let someone wash it for you, Xiaowei is looking for you, you go to Xiaowei's place to catch up first, now there are still a few hours before dinner, go and rest for a while." ”
Aunt Lin is the leader of this kitchen, and when she speaks, others naturally dare not refute.
At that moment, Zhen'er was stunned, with some hesitation on her face, as if she couldn't believe it.
Seeing this, Meng Wei directly stepped forward in three steps and two steps, and pulled Zhen'er up: "Let's go, the braised pork in my room is made by Aunt Lin herself, and it won't taste good if it gets cold again." ”
