Lady of the Lord From the East

The two maids did not bring breakfast for Wei Wei, because everyone here eats two meals a day, and ordinary people eat earlier, but nobles basically only eat at ten in the morning.

However, Qin quickly realized that Wei Wei was not the same as the nobles they had met. The other party woke up so early, maybe she would be hungry.

After discovering this, she immediately said, "I'll go to the kitchen and let the chef prepare breakfast for you."

"Don't be so troublesome, don't we have to go to the kitchen now?"

Wei Wei lifted her skirt and stood up.

"If the chef doesn't mind, I'm afraid I'll have to borrow the right to use the kitchen for a long time today."

Of course the chef didn't mind. In fact, when he saw Wei Wei appear, he seemed a little frightened.

The kitchen is next to the back door of the castle. When you open the door, you can see the moat outside, so the smell is naturally unpleasant. The masters never come here, not to mention the guests. They always tell the servants directly when they have anything. come over.

The chef in the kitchen was seeing guests here for the first time, which made him very uncomfortable.

Especially at this time it was the meal time of the servants in the castle. They were all having breakfast in the kitchen. When Wei Wei came over, he naturally bumped into everyone.

Wei Wei didn't think so at first, but when she saw the people in the kitchen hurriedly stood up and saluted her, she realized that she might not come at the right time.

In the end, the butler who was also dining came over: "Miss Weiwei, do you need anything?"

"Good morning, Butler Patton." Wei Wei glanced at the others: "I'm sorry to disturb your meal time. I promised Lord Earl to prepare meals for them yesterday, so come and see what's in the kitchen now."

Butler Barton was flattered by Wei Wei's attitude, but also surprised by her speed.

He was serving at dinner last night. Naturally, he knew Wei Wei and Felix's agreement and had already greeted the chef, but he didn't expect Wei Wei to come to the kitchen so soon.

He glanced at the chaotic kitchen with a little embarrassment, not knowing whether to let her in and let everyone else go out, or ask her to wait for a while, after all, the current kitchen is really bad.

Wei Wei helped him decide: "But now I feel a little hungry. Can I ask the chef to help me prepare some food? I want to eat in the garden."

"Of course, dear lady."

Wei Wei looked at the half-eaten table and ordered, "Then bread and salad, then prepare me a glass of hot milk."

"Okay, miss."

It's the easiest food, and it doesn't take much time to prepare.

Wei Wei, who was in the limelight, left the kitchen, led the way to the garden by the maid, and chose a nearby pavilion to sit down.

Compared with the inside of the stinking castle, the air in the garden is much better. Covered by the fragrance of plants and flowers, the moat outside the castle in the distance has not polluted the place. The morning breeze blows, which is refreshing.

The breakfast she ordered was quickly delivered by the housekeeper. The bread was the kind of white bread she had last night, and the salad did not contain heavy vegetables such as onions and carrots. Obviously, the housekeeper noticed what she ate last night. .

The only fly in the ointment is that the milk is fresh milk that has just been squeezed out, and it has a strong odor. Even if Wei Wei likes dairy products, she can't accept this taste.

She couldn't help saying to the maid beside her: "Next time, you can add some fresh juice to the boiled milk to make it taste better."

Originally, she wanted to say that adding tea leaves would be more effective, but at this time, it should be impossible to find tea leaves in the West. Even if there is a small amount of inflow, I am afraid it will be very expensive.

The maids remembered her words and knew how to prepare milk for Wei Wei in the future.

After eating breakfast slowly, Wei Wei went to the kitchen again. It was cleaned up very well, and the others had already left, leaving only Chef Bob and a few servants.

There are a lot of cured meats and sausages hanging outside the kitchen, which should be made of wild boar they caught yesterday.

Thinking of their taste, Wei Wei turned her head silently.

Bob, who had been instructed by the housekeeper long ago, took Wei Wei to check all the ingredients and seasonings in the kitchen.

I have to say that the ingredients at this time are not as poor as Wei Wei thought. Egg products such as eggs, milk, cheese and butter are available in the kitchen. The vegetables are all seen on the table last night, and the fruits are mainly apples, pears, lemons and Some berries are picked from the wild. The types of berries are a bit mixed, but there are not many berries. It is said that they are left over from making jam before.

In addition to wild boar, there is also marinated mutton and pork. They are all hung on the kitchen vent. I don't know if it's been hung for too long or for some other reason. A layer of mold has grown on the surface of these marinated meat. It's not fresh and has an unpleasant smell.

But when Wei Wei entered the kitchen this time, she saw a few live chickens in cages at the door, and there were a few more fish in the wooden bucket in the kitchen, as if they had just been delivered.

The staple bread was made in the castle's bakery, so there was only a small amount of flour and the like in the kitchen, but unmilled barley, wheat, oats, rye, and beans were abundant.

There are many types of spices, in addition to the native Western herbs, rosemary, sage, garlic, parsley, coriander, mint, fennel, black pepper, cinnamon, cumin, nutmeg, **** from foreign goods And cloves, etc. can also be seen, but the weight of these is very small, Bob was very careful when he took it out, for fear of being scattered.

In addition to this, she also saw several bottles of jam, a jar of wild honey and several sun-dried and stored fungi.

To be honest, there are actually many types of food at this time, but there are only a few that ordinary people can eat, and only nobles can enjoy all of them in luxury.

In the bottom of her heart, she sighed about the life of the nobles. Wei Wei decided that she must wear the vest of her noble daughter. If she becomes a commoner, not only will she suffer various persecutions, she will not be able to protect herself, and even many things cannot be used even if they can be bought. .

[Don't worry, I will help you complete your identity, you will never go wrong. 】

The system was very responsible for the mistakes it made, and it used all the energy recovered from Wei Wei in this area, in order to ensure that the identity problem was resolved before it left.

For the sake of its righteous attitude, Wei Wei decided to believe it again.

Returning her distracted attention back to the kitchen, she asked if the chef Earl's family had any taboos.

The cook told her: "The Count likes meat and hates vegetables. Miss Dolores doesn't like carrots and onions, which are more flavorful vegetables. In addition, she also hates celery and coriander."

"What about Miss Caroline?"

"Miss Caroline is still young and still drinking milk."

Wei Wei frowned. If I remember correctly, Miss Caroline is already over a year old. Now she is only drinking milk, can she keep up with the nutrition?

Her eyes stopped on the pile of flour. The flour was sifted many times, but there was still a little bit of wheat bran mixed on it, so it was not as white as the later generations, and the taste was also worse.

"Do you eat pasta? Pasta? Can you knead the pasta for me?"

Everyone in the kitchen looked puzzled, as if they didn't know what she was talking about.

[One of the origins of pasta on earth is said to have been handed down from ancient Rome, and the other was brought back to Europe by Marco Polo from China. The situation in this world is the latter, and now Marco Polo Polo didn't know whether he was born or not, so pasta should not have appeared in the West. 】

The world she is in now can be said to be an overhead. The history of China is very similar to that of Earth, but it is different from Europe, which is disconnected from Asia.

After the separation of Asia and Europe, the topography and climate of Europe are very different from the earth, and the natural history is also very different. The Roman Empire perished earlier, and the countries that appeared after that have appeared on the other side of the earth, and there are also There have been many celebrities in history that have not appeared, and have been replaced by another group.

In this context, Wei Wei's meager historical memory became increasingly useless.

Since there is no pasta, Wei Wei can only play freely.

She asked Qin to find an apron for herself to put on, and then **** the sleeves that were in the way, ready to work with a neat look.

Considering that what he can do alone is limited, Wei Wei naturally commanded the people in the kitchen.

The long kitchen table was taken outside for cleaning, and the oil stains and filth attached to the surface were all thrown away by a few servants who were helping in the kitchen. They were cleaned several times, and they barely met Wei Wei's hygiene standards. .

After that, everyone was rushed to wash their hands, and the overly long nails were also required to be cut off, and there should be no dirt in the gaps.

Although some people were unhappy in their hearts, including Chef Bob, everyone did not dare to protest clearly, and obediently went to wash their hands.

Afterwards, Wei Wei poured flour on the table that had been cleaned and dried and brought back to the kitchen, mixed it with eggs, and started kneading the dough.

Wei Wei didn't go into the kitchen very much before, she liked to order takeout most of the time, and it was the first time she did kneading dough.

But when she started to make it, she couldn't see any strangeness at all. The amount of egg mixture and water was just right. Soon a mass of yellowish dough was formed in her hands. The servants on the side felt that she was more than The bakers in the bakery are all skilled.

Of course, they didn't just watch and do it. Wei Wei kneaded a dough slightly larger than her fist, and asked them to knead together. She also sent someone to the bakery to ask for a few rolling pins.

The people in the kitchen are used to doing rough work all the year round, and they have a lot of strength. The work of kneading dough is not difficult for them. With Wei Wei on the side, everyone will soon be kneading the same dough.

The kneaded dough needs to be rested. If there is no plastic wrap, wrap it with a clean linen cloth and set it aside for a while.

And at this time, she can prepare other dishes with her servants.

The author has something to say: Wei Wei: If you can't accept dark cooking, you can only make your own food!

In other words, if you don't collect the texts when you read them, it will make me feel a sense of frustration that my texts are poorly written so no one reads them...

There are two versions of pasta, one is passed down from ancient Rome, and the other is said to be brought back from China by Marco Polo. Here we choose the second version. Marco Polo should have been born during this time in the text. Young didn't go to China, it's an empty place here, just pretend he wasn't born.
