Due to the hot weather, the pastry residue stuck to the steamer just brought in was already hard, and Lu Deshun, who was holding the steamer, smelled an unknown fragrance as soon as he put the steamer in his hand into the wooden barrel after Chunlan washed several steamers that had been soiled by putting Jizi before.

Lu Deshun, who was attracted by the fragrance, felt that this steamer was not easy to wash, so he didn't care, and walked to the place where the fragrance wafted.

Xiao Meier and Qingyu, who were almost settled, also came to their senses and went to the same place with Lu Deshun.

"Wow! Jie'er, what is this? So fragrant! The person who came with Murong Xue didn't follow the small kitchen, so as one of the last three people to walk there, Xiao Mei'er could still see Zhang Mengjie open a jar on the ground with something black.

Zhang Mengjie said: "This is the bean paste I once told you about."

Xiao Mei'er sniffed her nose and said, "This is bean paste!" It smells so good! ”

"It must be delicious!" As a clear rain road for foodies.

"Is it okay to eat then?" Hearing Qingyu say that it was delicious, Xiao Meier asked.

"It's better to eat it too hot, it's not good for your body." Zhang Mengjie said: "Using it as an adjunct is also a good thing to add to other dishes."

It's best to be able to, Qingyu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quietly walked out of the crowd and took a pair of chopsticks to hide behind him.

"You're going to use it as an adjunct to tonight's meal?" For food-related matters, Xiao Meier is particularly sensitive.

"Clever!" After Zhang Mengjie praised Xiao Meier, she asked a few people to bring spoons and small bowls to her.

Zhang Mengjie scooped a small bowl out and then sealed the mouth of the jar, which made Qingyu who was holding chopsticks a little regretful.

"Okay, you've got the green beans, cowpeas, eggplant, screws, and fish!" Zhang Mengjie instructed a few people and then said to Xiao Mei'er: "Mei'er, let me tell you first, which dishes to put in this bean paste, when to put it, you will have to wait for the chaos of the law."

Qingfeng, Chunlan, and Qiu Ju naturally went to get green beans, cowpeas, and eggplant, while Lu Deshun took the screws and fish.

Only Qingyu was unwilling to sneak to the side of the jar, and was about to bend down to the mouth of the jar when he heard Zhang Mengjie's voice floating faintly: "If you dare to eat it now, don't want to touch it in the future!"

Isn't Niangniang talking to Mei'er Girl? When did she find her, she was very careful. Qingyu never expected that it was the pair of chopsticks she hid behind her that betrayed her.

Qingyu, who was discovered, dared to eat secretly, smiled at Zhang Mengjie and put the chopsticks back, and went to do things with Qingfeng, Chunlan, and Qiu Ju.

After Zhang Mengjie told Xiao Meier what dish to put the bean paste in, she went to the wooden cabinet in a corner of the small kitchen and took out something and handed it to Xiao Meier.

Qingfeng, Qingyu, Chunlan, and Qiu Ju had just processed a few dishes, Zhou Li came back with a bag of things, and when he saw Xiao Meier just facing away from him, he quickly put the things into the wooden cabinet where Zhang Mengjie took out the things just now.

As soon as Zhou Li put his things away and closed the wooden cabinet, he heard Xiao Meier's voice: "Zhou Li, where have you been?" I'm looking for you! ”

"Does this man have three urgencies? I just went to ......"

"Stop! Wouldn't that be too bad to say in a place like this? It was so obvious, how could Xiao Meier not know what it was, and she didn't dare to say those words herself.

"Isn't that what Miss Mei'er asked me? I can't just fool the girl, can I? Zhou Li said as a matter of course.

"Alright, alright, don't be poor. Get done what you do best. Xiao Mei'er glanced at Zhou Lidao.

"Okay!" Zhou Li responded heartily and walked towards the stove.

The temperature in this small kitchen is much hotter than outside, Zhang Mengjie saw the sweat on Murong Xue's forehead, and at the same time she was very confident in Xiao Meier's cooking skills. So he said to Murong Xue: "Queen Mother, there is nothing for us here, let's go outside and talk first."

"Okay." Murong Xue knew that she was not only unable to help but also suffer here, so she readily agreed.

In addition to Zhou Li, who was burning the fire, Lu Deshun, who was still dealing with the screws, and the other four people also followed out of the small kitchen.

Although the steamer on the table outside has been brought into the small kitchen, the tea set on it is still there. Before Zhang Mengjie and Murong Xue sat down, the four of them cleaned up quickly. Soon the breeze and the rain were served two cups of tea again.

Zhang Mengjie and Murong Xue, who came out of the small kitchen, did not speak, but quietly drank the tea in front of them. Because of this, Zhang Mengjie was very uncomfortable by Murong Xue's stomach from time to time. This can't help but remind her of what Long Tingxiao once told her about giving birth to a baby.

"The queen mother has something to say to Jie'er?" Murong Xue continued to stare like this, Zhang Mengjie really didn't know if she could sit still.

"Where are you outside the palace?"

Zhang Mengjie was also worried that Murong Xue would say something she was worried about, and she was still thinking about how to reply to her. Unexpectedly, Murong Xue asked her this: "I can trust them." The reason why Luo Dong's 'Luo Ji Pastry Shop' has such a good business is not only because of his first-hand pastry skills, but also because of his integrity in life and work. And Ma Bo doesn't have to worry, his son is still doing things for the court after all, and he doesn't dare to do anything that shouldn't be done for his son's sake. ”

Murong Xue saw that Zhang Mengjie was so confident in a few people and said, "It's good that you know it in your heart."

"Don't worry, even if they abandon me, I will lose something insignificant at most." Of course, Zhang Mengjie would not tell Murong Xue about giving Ma Fuan so much money to prepare. It's not because she doesn't believe Murong Xue, but she doesn't want Murong Xue to worry, and besides, she doesn't know if Murong Xue will ask about this silver, and she doesn't know what to say at that time.

Murong Xue looked at Zhang Mengjie's indifferent look at some things and said, "For you, those things don't matter, but for some people, they are good things for making money." Otherwise, how could people come to the door so quickly? ”

"It's okay, Queen Mother, if they dare to fool me, what they get is only a one-time thing, and next time they won't be able to come up with something new, and they can't do the same thing for the rest of their lives, right? If this is the case, other businessmen will do it sooner or later, and it will lose its attractiveness to customers, and losing my help will not be worth the loss for them. If they were smart, they would have thought of this. Zhang Mengjie is very confident in Ma Fuan, Xu Dongjia, and Luo Dongjia, but Murong Xue said so, she is not good at her face.

"Then you're not afraid that people will use up your skills and abandon you again?" At this moment, in Murong Xue's heart, Zhang Mengjie is an ordinary person, completely forgetting her identity as the queen. (To be continued.) )
