Chapter 369: Which apprentice's cooking skills are good
As a world friend, Murong Xue knows more or less about Zhang Mengjie's growth process, although the two have never met before Zhang Mengjie enters the palace, Murong Xue feels that the Zhang Mengjie in front of her is not like the Zhang Mengjie she knows. Murong Xue's eyes became strange when she looked at Zhang Mengjie.
"Queen Mother, is there anything on Jie'er's face?" Zhang Mengjie noticed that Murong Xue's inquiring eyes were a little weak, and touched her cheek and asked.
Although Zhang Mengjie had a weak heart, she had a sincere smile, and Murong Xue felt that she was too careful. Zhang Mengjie has some things that are different from what she knows, but her well-behaved, sensible, and filial piety are true. She also dared to be sure that Zhang Mengjie in front of her was not transferred, who would transfer someone who the emperor was tired of.
"No, the queen mother just thinks that you are already thin, and you are even thinner after a trip out of the palace, should you let the imperial dining room make some nourishing meals for you." Since Zhang Mengjie entered the palace, she has not shown that she has unfavorable intentions, but intends to bury herself. The tranquility and harmony in Luanfeng Hall can also show her character, and Murong Xue has a headache when she thinks about it, so she doesn't think about it.
Jie'er thanked her mother for worrying, thinking that Jie'er had been worried about the flood. Now that the flood has been solved, I will return to the palace, and I will eat and drink well when the worries are gone, and the queen mother should not dislike Jie'er when she is fat. Zhang Mengjie didn't fail to discover Murong Xue's suspicion of her, seeing that Murong Xue's demeanor had returned to the past, the stone in Zhang Mengjie's heart also fell.
"Jie'er, even if you can be fat, you will still be fatter than the woman surnamed Jia at that time?" When it comes to fat, Xiao Meier can't help but think of Jia Shanggui and the fat girl Du Juan. Xiao Meier didn't want to slander Du Juan, so she took Jia Shanggui to brush it.
"Miss Mei'er is right, the queen mother doesn't believe that you will be extraordinarily fat. Even if it were like that. The queen mother will never dislike you. Murong Xue laughed.
"It is said that people who don't want to be fat can't stop her from getting fat when they drink water, and they can't get fat if they want to eat more. I don't see the disgust of the queen mother in this situation, but I will try to make myself fatter. Zhang Mengjie laughed at herself.
The people here don't know that Zhang Mengjie's drinking water can also gain weight is the remark of modern people, and they thought it was the hard-working fat girl cuckoo that Zhang Mengjie said just now.
Murong Xue didn't know about Zhang Mengjie's favor, so it was normal for Li Yuqi and Zhuang Xinyan not to notice the strangeness of the two.
And Qingyu, who is familiar with the breeze of the two, didn't find out because they were still immersed in gunpowder like Li Yuqi and Zhuang Xinyan. They were amazed that the royal family really had a secret recipe for a secret weapon. Although they didn't see the power of the gunpowder with their own eyes, it was not difficult to hear the power of the gunpowder from Zhang Mengjie's story. Zhang Mengjie's self-deprecation also brought back some of their senses.
"I believe in Jie'er, Jie'er's cooking skills are so good. It's not a problem to make yourself a little fat. Xiao Meier teased Zhang Mengjie and ate another piece of pastry. Thinking of something, he said, "But why didn't Jie'er see you make or mention pastries?"
Zhang Mengjie gave Xiao Meier a roll of her eyes and said, "It's really a foodie." Who says if you know how to cook, you will definitely make pastries? ”
"Oh, so you have something you can't do too." Xiao Meier said regretfully.
"I'm not good at making pastries, but I know a few ways to make pastries. When I had time, I asked Qingyu to ask my father-in-law Qian, who had just bought the company, if he had any ingredients to make pastries. I'll tell you how to do it when the time comes. Some of them are also my own thoughts. It's up to you to make the flavor I imagined. Zhang Mengjie really felt sorry for Xiao Meier. I thought of teaching her how to make modern pastries.
Xiao Mei'er's eyes lit up as soon as she heard that there was a new pastry recipe, just like Fang Qianya heard the plantain: "Really? What kind of pastry recipe do you have in mind? ”
"I'll tell you when the time comes." Zhang Mengjie sold Guan Zidao.
"Then can you reveal whether the pastry you think is as delicious as this crystal cold cake?" Xiao Mei'er asked without giving up.
"It's up to you to do it yourself." Zhang Mengjie said.
"Oh, I see." Xiao Meier's eyes were full of confidence.
"Miss Mei'er. You're an envoy, isn't it appropriate to do something? With Zhang Mengjie's precedent, Murong Xue had already seen that Xiao Mei'er was more keen on cooking than Zhang Mengjie, and everything in Yuncheng was just to hear Zhang Mengjie talk about, if Yuncheng was really a city that the city-states wanted to woo, would they really not mind their young lady doing the work of a subordinate in the palace?
"Queen Mother, Mei'er said just now, Mei'er doesn't know how long she will stay here, Luanfeng Hall is for Mei'er to eat and for Mei'er to live. Although Dragon City and Yuncheng are inseparable now, Mei'er can't eat and live here for nothing, right? Mei'er doesn't know anything except cooking, and she can only use this to offset Luanfeng Palace's response to Mei'er. "This is probably the most ridiculous and magnificent reason that people who want to cook can find.
"But ......"
"Mother, let her be! There is not much difference between the Xiao Mansion in Yuncheng and the Luanfeng Palace, there are not many slaves, and the last thing the city lord and the old lady of Yuncheng mind is the distinction between master and servant. Zhang Mengjie knew Murong Xue's worries, so she interrupted her words and gave her a good reason.
"Speaking of cooking, it's almost time to prepare lunch, I'll go to the small kitchen to have a look, and then let Chunlan and Qiu Ju steal my work."
Xiao Mei'er stood up and was about to walk out, when she suddenly said: "By the way, Jie'er, I heard Qingfeng's sister-in-law say that Concubine Li also learned cooking from you before, otherwise, let her cook with me today and see which of your two apprentices has good cooking skills."
Li Yuqi originally wanted to stay and not leave, who could have the opportunity to taste the meal burned by the envoy, and it was also the meal cooked by the emperor's sister, but Luan Fengdian had such a good opportunity, not only the master, but even the subordinates could accept this kind of treatment with peace of mind. Not to mention how aggrieved she is in her heart, isn't God giving her a chance at this time? How could she say she wanted to leave herself. But some people just don't meet her expectations.
"Concubine Li asked me about cooking, but I didn't have the same free time as when I was in Yuncheng, so I only told her some relatively simple and beautiful soups, which can't be compared with your dedication."
Zhang Mengjie was obviously looking for steps for Li Yuqi, but who here didn't know that Zhang Mengjie had more leisure time in the palace than in Yuncheng, not to mention that they had to massage Old Madam Xiao at that time! Zhang Mengjie's subtext is that not only does she not really want to learn, but she is not that material. Li Yuqi's face suddenly turned red and couldn't be distinguished, she felt unwilling to leave, and she felt faceless if she wanted to stay, which put her in a dilemma for a while. (To be continued.) )
