76. Unspeakable
When he arrived at Xiangyun Building, the shopkeeper saw that it was Meng Wei, and he was busy taking Meng Wei to the back kitchen in person, and saw Xu Zhen contacting the cooking on the side, and put a few crab shells on the side.
The cook on the side saw that the shopkeeper was about to tell Xu Zhen, but the shopkeeper waved his hand first, and the few people opened their mouths, nodded to the shopkeeper without making a sound, and then stepped aside.
The small mirror was waiting outside, Meng Wei and the shopkeeper approached, and Master Xu happened to lift the lid of the pot, and the rich fresh fragrance came to his face, which made the shopkeeper sniff hard: "Why does the fragrance of these Sixi balls seem to be more fragrant than before?" ”
Xu didn't expect that there was someone standing behind him, and the shopkeeper's voice couldn't help but startle him, and turned his head to look, only to find that Meng Wei was also on the side, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Master, you came just in time, before you said that these Sixi balls would taste better with some crab roe, no, I tried to add a little bit just now, and it smells good, but I haven't had time to taste it yet, so why don't you taste it?" ”
"Okay, I'll try it," Meng Wei said and picked up a pair of chopsticks, took a small piece and tasted it, and nodded after a while, "Yes, your comprehension is very good, this looks good, and the taste is good, but the taste of your crab roe is a little strong, so it will hide the aroma of the meat, if this crab roe is less than one-fifth, then the taste should be just right." ”
Listening to Meng Wei's words, the shopkeeper couldn't help but pick it up with chopsticks and tasted it, and exclaimed: "It's really delicious, I think it's very good, and I'm really looking forward to how delicious Master Xu's improved taste will be." ”
"Okay, it's too hot here, master, you can rest outside first, and I'll wash my hands and come."
"I'm not busy, I'm here this time because of the little marquis, do you remember the green worm you said before? The little marquis tasted very satisfied, so he asked me to discuss with the shopkeeper, and then Xiangyunlou may have another signature dish. ”
The shopkeeper was a little confused: "Green worm? The signature dish? ”
He couldn't connect these words no matter what, but he still understood what Meng Wei said just now that the little marquis asked her to come.
Others didn't know the relationship between Xiangyunlou and the Protector's Mansion, but he did, and he had seen the small mirror before, so he didn't doubt the truth of this at all.
He still remembered that Xiao Jing came to Xu Zhen early this morning, and he heard what the green worm said, but he didn't pay attention to it at that time, and Xu Zhen didn't dare to say it in advance because he didn't get the right words, otherwise it would be bad to make the shopkeeper happy.
Xiangyunlou has a constant relationship with the Protector Mansion, and Ye Zichuan asked Meng Wei to come, obviously there is another deep meaning.
Thinking of this, the shopkeeper's attitude became more and more softened: "I naturally believe in the girl's craftsmanship, but even if it is the dish made by Master Xu, not everyone will like it, if the girl doesn't mind, I don't know if I can try to make one for me to taste, so that I can set the price, and I can better estimate the cost and popularity." ”
"This should be," Meng Wei nodded understandingly, looking at Xu Zhen, "Little Mirror went to your house this morning and got a lot of green worms, you should have left some too, right?" ”
"Master Mingjian, I have already kept it and raised it in the water, I saw that there are still a lot of people alive just now, and I threw away all those who died."
From this morning, when the little mirror came to him and said that he wanted those green worms, he knew that it must be the little marquis who liked it, so most of them were given to the little mirror, and he kept a small portion of his forehead just in case.
"That's okay, you let people take the head of this crayfish, and then wash it, and I'll teach you to do it later, but this one has to be renamed, it can't be called a green worm, it's too ugly, it's called a little red shrimp."
"Little red shrimp?" The shopkeeper and Xu Zhen murmured again, and after looking at each other, they both felt good, "The name of Little Red Shrimp is good, it means prosperous, and to be honest, this one doesn't look like a worm, but more like a shrimp, this name is very appropriate." ”
Seeing Xu Zhen and other cooks helping to clean up, Meng Wei came out of the kitchen, and the chili peppers she brought from the Houguo Mansion were in the burden carried by the small mirror, which was the main ingredient for making spicy crayfish.
Meng Wei and the little mirror were arranged by the shopkeeper to eat some pastries and fruits in the private room, although the private room in this restaurant is not as cool as the room in the small marquis house in the Sichuan Courtyard, but there is also a little ice cube, in general, it is much better than the lobby.
If the house of the little marquis of the Sichuan Courtyard is as cool as turning on the air conditioner, then this private room is like turning on an electric fan.
This ice cube is bought by many people at a high price in the hot summer, and the shopkeeper puts ice cubes in their private room, which can be said to be very face-saving.
After eating a little at random, Meng Wei lost her appetite.
It's not that the pastries in Xiangyunlou are not delicious, but compared with the pastries that can be eaten at any time, she wants to eat the crayfish later.
You must know that she used to be a spicy and unhappy person, and after coming here, she hadn't eaten chili peppers for a long time, and now she suddenly saw the chili peppers she was thinking about, and even this crayfish, so she naturally couldn't bear it.
Besides, whether it was yesterday or today, she only ate a few crayfish, and she didn't have a lot of fun.
After sitting for a while, estimating that the time was almost up, Meng Wei went to the kitchen.
Meng Wei went just in time, Xu Zhen and the cook washed the crayfish, and just as they were about to call Meng Wei, Meng Wei came.
After checking that the crayfish was indeed clean, Meng Wei wanted to teach Xu Zhen how to make crayfish, but Xu Zhen shook his head and said that it was not the time.
"Master, you haven't discussed with the shopkeeper yet, so I won't learn, otherwise if there is a case at that time, I will be in a dilemma."
"Okay then, you can prepare me a glass of ice water if you can, I'm afraid of the heat."
Soon, the crayfish was fried, and the rich fragrance spread as Meng Wei opened the door, and he could see that there were a lot of chili peppers on this plate of crayfish in his hand, but it didn't smell like that choking spiciness, but it was an indescribable feeling, and people couldn't help but want to taste it when they smelled it.
And the shopkeeper is like this, if he hadn't seen the red light on the plate, it was indeed a green worm, it was a little red shrimp, he really thought that Meng Wei had changed the ingredients.
He also had a hard time before he became the shopkeeper, so he naturally knew the little red shrimp, and he had also eaten how fishy and unbearable the dishes made by the green worms were, but he didn't expect to eat the dishes made of the little red shrimp again one day.
This is also because he has seen Meng Wei's craftsmanship and believes in Xu Zhen's vision, otherwise if someone else said to make a plate of small red shrimp for him to eat, he would definitely feel that the other party was teasing him.
Meng Wei put the crayfish on the table, but seeing that the two of them didn't move for a long time, she couldn't help but be anxious: "Don't just look at it, how about you taste it?" ”
