There was a busy scene in the small kitchen, this time Xiao Meier did not embarrass the cook, in order to save time, what dishes the cooks prepared, Zhang Mengjie taught Xiao Meier what dishes to cook, and Xiao Meier did not have time to embarrass them.

"Mei'er, don't put water in the greens and celery when they are boiled, because they will come out of the water by themselves, and it won't taste good if there is too much water. But don't be lazy and keep stir-frying. The greens are easy to cook, so stir-fry the celery first. Zhang Mengjie said.

Xiao Meier answered and started her trip to learn to cook, and after a while, Xiao Meier's voice kept appearing in the small kitchen.

"Jie'er, Jie'er, is this okay?"

"When to put salt? How much do you want to put? What about ginger and garlic? ”

"How long is this fish going to be stuffy?"

"Is there too much water?"

"Is this braised pork mushy, what should I do?"

Xiao Meier studied very seriously, she didn't feel annoying at all, and she didn't feel tired.

Xiao Meier was busy in the small kitchen for an hour and a half, and the dishes were finally ready to be served.

The city lord of Yuncheng was embarrassed to let everyone eat this dish, and he didn't reluctantly open his mouth until the last dish came up, so he couldn't let everyone be really hungry!

Looking at this table of dishes, not to mention other people, even Xiao Meier herself didn't dare to move her chopsticks. Only Yu Xilang ate happily.

Before he could eat it, Xiao Mei'er asked, "How is it?" ”

"The burnt is not as good as Jie'er's, and it is not as delicious as Jie'er."

As expected, no one said anything, and the city lord of Yuncheng glanced at Xiao Mei'er, who had a broken face, reproachfully and smiled apologetically at everyone.

Yu Xilang continued: "Although it is ugly, it is better than the food in some inns. ”

Don't say it's anyone else. It was Yu Xiuwen, Concubine De, and Yu Xiyao who all thought that Yu Xilang was saying comforting words.

Yu Xilang saw that he was the only one eating: "Why don't you eat it?" ”

"If it's not delicious, don't eat it, I'll let people burn it again." Yu Xilang gave her face like this, Xiao Meier was very moved.

Yu Xilang said: "It's good to have so much to eat at this time, and some people don't know how long they haven't eaten dish rice." ”

Everyone started to move the chopsticks, Zhang Mengjie was because she believed what Yu Xilang said, she didn't move the chopsticks just now because she didn't dislike the meal made by Xiao Meier, but because several family members didn't use the chopsticks, and she didn't want to lose the etiquette on this occasion.

The others were because of what Yu Xilang said, how precious food was at this time. How can it be so wasteful. As soon as I ate it, I realized that Yu Xilang didn't lie to them.

"Luckily, it's really not unpalatable. I used to watch Jie'er and the cooks burn and think it was a very simple thing, but when I burned it, I realized that it was not simple at all, but fortunately it didn't make everyone hungry. Xiao Meier had a hint of joy of achievement.

"The first time you burned it, it was so delicious, Mei'er, you are already amazing. When I first started burning, it was either raw or mushy. ”

After Dad is gone. Mom has to take care of her and earn money to support the family. Except for the time to sleep, it's like a spinning top. When I first learned to cook, I was only a teenager, and the food I cooked was either raw or mushy.

During that time, their lives were very difficult. When she was really ready to help her mother, she was sick again, and Zhang Mengjie thought of these unusually uncomfortable.

"Jie'er, didn't you say that your grandparents were very nice to you? How does it not feel like that? Xiao Meier saw that Zhang Mengjie seemed to be in a very low mood now and asked.

"They are really good to me, it is because they are so good to me, so I will run to the kitchen to watch the cook how to cook, and sneak into the kitchen to learn when no one is around." Zhang Mengjie felt that she was lying more and more now.

"In this way, I'm still not as good as you, you figured it out yourself, and I have you always by your side." Xiao Meier felt that Zhang Mengjie must have something sad that others didn't know about when she was a child, so she bypassed that topic.

Zhang Mengjie said: "If you don't have the heart to learn, no matter how hard I teach, it will be in vain." ”

"Yes, when Niangniang said this, the slave maid remembered that Concubine Li learned to cook with Niangniang in order to please the emperor, but it was a waste that she didn't learn cooking skills."

Qingfeng has been used to being with them casually these days, her original intention was to tell Xiao Mei'er that she was really powerful, and as soon as she said it, she knew that it was a little inappropriate to say this here, so she took a green vegetable and ate it and said, "Miss Xiao's cooking is really delicious." ”

"Yes, yes, this fish is not bad, isn't it the emperor?" Zhao Ziheng also played a round road.

Long Ting sighed, feeling that he didn't know Zhang Mengjie at all.

"Then I said it was delicious just now, why don't you believe it?" Yu Xilang was still eating in his mouth, and asked inarticulately.

"If I didn't cook it well, would you say the same?" Xiao Meier said.

"Good is good, bad is not good, why should I say something that is not delicious as something delicious?" Yu Xilang said to Xiao Mei'er with a harmless face.

Xiao Mei'er suddenly felt that her emotion just now was superfluous.

"But if you burn it, no matter how bad it is, I'll still eat it." Yu Xilang said.

"Why?" Xiao Meier was puzzled.

"Because you burned it!" Yu Xilang said with a look of assumption: "And I believe that even if you don't cook it delicious today, you will be able to cook a delicious meal one day." ”

Who said that the emotion just now was superfluous, Xiao Meier also smiled sincerely at Yu Xilang.

"Qingfeng, what did you say just now, Concubine Li, who also learned from Jie'er, did she learn after wasting so many dishes? How is her cooking now? ”

Qingfeng thought that she had avoided that topic, but she didn't expect Xiao Mei'er to come back again, so that she didn't know whether to answer or not.

"Mei'er, didn't Qingfeng say it very clearly just now, you still asked. You still want to think about why your dish today is so ugly, although it tastes good? How to burn it tomorrow. The city lord of Yuncheng relieved the siege for Qingfeng, and gave Xiao Mei'er another look.

Xiao Mei'er saw Qingfeng's unnaturalness and understood: "That's right, I haven't let my brother obey my cooking skills!" Keep up the good work! ”

"Out of breath!"

Although the dishes were not finished, Yu Xilang and Xiao Meier, the two living treasures, were very happy to eat this meal.

Then it was time for Mrs. Xiao to heal and massage.

"Empress Zhang, didn't you promise everyone to take turns yesterday? Now what is this? Concubine De said.

"I think that's good, yesterday we were already familiar with the parts of our hands and feet, and today we have to re-explore, isn't it a waste of time and energy?" Zhang Mengjie said as a matter of course.

Concubine De said clearly: "You thought about everything when you answered me yesterday, right?" Just put my mind at ease. ”

Zhang Mengjie smiled and said, "What's the matter, let's start quickly!" ”

Zhang Mengjie took the lead in sitting on the stool, yesterday with Xiao Meier's experience, sitting did not affect the massage, and it made people a lot more relaxed, so today she suggested that everyone sit and massage. (To be continued.) )
