A Blessed Daughter

Chapter 14: Seafood Hotpot

Chapter 14 Seafood Hot Pot

Nurse Zhang looked disbelieving, but saw that Xiumei who got out of the car to buy something had already handed over two taels of silver to the seafood seller.

Then without waiting for the accompanying guards to help, Xiumei moved the basket of seafood to the carriage by herself.

After being dazed for a while, Nanny Zhang guessed in her heart that Wei Ruo's money probably came from the gifts that the old man in the capital gave Wei Ruo two days ago.

I muttered in my heart, even if I got my own money from the old man, I can't spend it like this, I really don't know how to manage a house.

After returning to Tingsongyuan, Xiumei moved the basket of seafood into Tingsongyuan again.

"Meimei, how about..." Wei Ruo stared at the basket of seafood.

"Miss, do you want to eat hot pot?" Xiumei immediately saw through Wei Ruo's thoughts.

"Yeah, Meimei, you really understand me!" She hasn't even spoken yet! Meimei guessed everything right!

"Miss, I really can't guess what you are thinking about other things, but in this matter, as long as you take a look at me, I will immediately know what you want to do."

"Well, pick out some of them to make seafood hot pot, and we'll dry the rest to make dry goods after processing."

Spicy pot bottom, seafood ingredients, just thinking about this pot makes Wei Ruo twitch his index finger.

"But Miss, have you forgotten that we don't have a kitchen, we don't have pots, and we can't make hot pot."

"Isn't there a small kitchen in Yingzhuyuan next door? Maybe I can borrow it." Wei Ruo said.

"That's right! There's a small kitchen next door!" Xiumei suddenly realized something after she finished speaking, "Miss, you don't mean to send soy sauce to the second young master just because of this, so you can build a good relationship?"

"Ah? Is there? How can I? Am I such a person?" Wei Ruo felt guilty.

Xiumei nodded.

Miss, you are definitely such a person!

"Ahem, that's not important, the important thing is that there is a place to cook the hot pot and turn on a small stove. Meimei, you prepare, get all the ingredients, and we will go to the next door to cook the hot pot."

"Then I'll go look in the room and see how much of the spices you made before, Miss."

Xiumei turned around and entered the ear room that Wei Ruo used as a warehouse.

When he came back, he was holding a white cloth bag in his hand.

In this era, there is no chili, and there are not many spices. Wei Ruona's taste buds nourished by spices occasionally miss those stimulating tastes, so he collected all kinds of spices that can be collected in this era.

Zanthoxylum bungeanum, Cornus officinalis, Fuliu teng, cinnamon, mustard, mix these spices, experiment with the ratio repeatedly, and then get the most suitable spice seasoning package for Wei Ruo.

Wei Ruo mixed them well, packed them in cloth bags, and took out a bag when needed.

"There is the last spice bag left. I used it this time. Next time, miss, if you want to eat again, you have to find a way to get those spices together again."

When Xiumei brought back the spice package, she also brought back a piece of bad news.

Those spices are not so easy to get, Wei Ruo spent a lot of effort to get them together before.

Wei Ruo nodded: "Wait to be more stable, I not only need to get spices, but also some medicinal materials."

Then Wei Ruo asked Xiumei to stay in Tingsong Garden to process the ingredients, and went to knock on the door of Yingzhu Garden by himself.

The courtyard door opened, and Xiao Bei asked in surprise, "Miss, what's the matter?"

"I want to borrow your small kitchen. As a reward, I will treat you to a seafood hot pot! My Meimei's cooking skills are very good, I guarantee you will not lose money!"

"Miss... I can't make up my mind about this, I have to ask the young master."

"Then go ask your young master."

"Okay, miss, wait a moment, I'll go ask."

Xiaobei turned around and went to the courtyard.

Wei Ruo poked his head to look in. Like the last time he came, Wei Jin was still sitting in the Octagonal Pavilion reading. He seemed to like sitting in the courtyard and reading.

Some distance away, Wei Ruo couldn't hear the conversation between him and Xiao Bei, but he could see his face darken after Xiao Bei said something, and then he raised his head and looked in the direction of the door, his eyes matched Wei Ruo's. Right on.

Wei Ruo grinned back, and reached out to greet Wei Jinyi.

She smiled, and Wei Jinyi's complexion turned darker.

What's the matter, is she not smiling kindly enough? She thinks she looks good when she smiles, Meimei said she looks good when she smiles!

I don't know what Wei Jinyi said to Xiaobei, Xiaobei walked over with a look of embarrassment and said: "Miss, the young master said, if you have anything you want to eat, just ask the big kitchen to make it. The child is small, and there are no good ingredients, so it is really not suitable."

"I bring my own ingredients and seasonings. I don't need yours. You just need to provide me with a place to cook. The big kitchen is inconvenient. It will take me a long time to cook."

Xiaobei looked embarrassed: "But Miss..."

"Please please please."

"But the young master..." Xiaobei turned his head to look in Wei Jinyi's direction, how could he make the decision, the young master asked him to refuse, but he didn't dare to offend the eldest lady.

"I'll talk to your young master myself!"

Seeing the problem, Wei Ruo bypassed Xiaobei and went straight to the Bajiao Pavilion.

"Second Brother!"

The sound of "Second Brother" made Wei Jinyi frowned immediately.

"Second brother, let me borrow your small kitchen here. We cook seafood hot pot, and you eat it together. I promise it tastes very good!"

Wei Jin also looked at Wei Ruo, her eyes were twinkling, full of anticipation.

After a while, Wei Jin also compromised: "It's up to you."

"Thank you!" Wei Ruo thanked happily, and then ran back to Tingsongyuan.

Xiao Bei walked back to Wei Jinyi, and whispered: "Master, Missy is really different from other people in the house..."

Other people in the mansion are afraid of their young master, but the eldest lady is lucky, last time she gave soy sauce, this time it is even more strange, she said that she would come to their small kitchen to cook hot pot...

"Let her go, she looks like this, you can't explain it to her."

Wei Jin also doesn't like wasting words with others, and when Wei Ruogang came to Wei's house, he didn't understand many things, and he didn't act in a common sense, and there were many things he couldn't understand for a while.

Not long after, Wei Jin also saw Wei Ruo entering his yard with his maid.

The master and servant carried a bunch of things into the small kitchen with big bags and small bags.

In the small kitchen, Xiumei is in charge of cooking, and Wei Ruo is helping to light the fire.

When the pot is hot, add lard, and when the milky white lard melts, pour in the spice packets prepared by Wei Ruo.

The smell of spices is very overbearing. After being stimulated by hot oil, it immediately filled the entire small kitchen and drifted into the yard.

"Master, what is this smell? Why does it smell so good?" Xiaobei sniffed and sniffed, making sure that it was something she had never smelled before.

"Research ink."

Wei Jin was also expressionless.

Xiaobei quickly regained consciousness and continued to grind Wei Jinyi.

Wei Ruo ran out of the small kitchen, ran up to Wei Jinyi, and asked, "Second brother, I see that the bamboo shoots in your yard are growing quite well, why don't you let me break off a few and cut one?" Lets cook it in a hot pot, shall we?
