Chapter 119: Tacit Affection
Hua Manxi put the soup in the pot and simmered slowly, and started cooking here.
Li Qiuqiu has been busy boiling medicine for the workers for a long time, and now she is still boiling medicine, and she still does it herself.
Today's staple food, she plans to make noodles, the clear soup noodles are poured with tonic soup, it is perfect, the noodles can't be scalded too early, Hua Manxi had to pull the noodles first, put them aside, and then cook the dishes first.
Killed a chicken, a duck, but the stew did not use up a whole, there were still the rest of the chicken head chicken feet duck head duck feet and some internal organs, Hua Manxi cleaned the head and feet, and then boiled a pot of brine, intending to eat it, of course, only a little braised chicken head and chicken feet were too little, Hua Manxi put some eggs and got a pig ear.
For the rest of the chicken and duck offal, she scalded it with boiling water, cut it, and planned to make a hot and sour chicken offal.
The kimchi she soaked was just ready to be opened, so she took some capers, washed them, and chopped them.
Heat the oil, add ginger and garlic slices, fry a little pepper to taste, then pour the chicken and duck offal into it and fry it to change color, then add cooking wine, an appropriate amount of salt, after frying, then put in the crushed capers and stir-fry together, put some soy sauce before the pot, and you can start the pot.
The brine was already ready, so she took out all the things in the pot and let it cool, then cut the pig's ears into thin slices, and mixed them with chopped green onions, minced salt, minced garlic, and some marinade.
Tonight's vegetables are boiled fresh mustard greens, cut the fresh mustard greens into large sections, put them into a pot of boiling water to boil and change color, remove and drain the water, and then heat them with an appropriate amount of salt, an appropriate amount of oil, an appropriate amount of soy sauce, an appropriate amount of sugar, and an appropriate amount of marinade, and pour them on the greens.
Originally, it was going to be drizzled with broth, but Hua Manxi felt that the fresh marinade was also very good, so she changed it to marinade, and she also tasted it specially and felt that the taste was no worse than that of the broth.
When the dish was ready, she put the noodles into a pot of boiling water and blanched them, then took them out, poured the stewed soup on them, and poured some marinated toppings, which made people appetizing when they looked at it.
Xu Jinfei took the medicine, his appetite was not very good, but this noodle was cooked well, he was stunned to eat a bowl, although he didn't eat vegetables, he still drank an extra bowl of soup.
"Hua Xiaochu, what kind of recipe is your soup? This is the first time I've seen someone stew soup with medicinal herbs, and it tastes so good. Uncle Zhao tasted the soup and said suspiciously, "The medicinal materials you came to ask for just now are all blood tonics, and I thought you were going to boil them alone for your son." ”
"Well, I can't say this, I'm born anyway." Hua Manxi really can't explain to a group of ancients how his cooking skills came about, this perfect tonic soup is almost a household name in modern times, because of its nourishing effect, and there are special soup ingredients to sell.
"Uncle Zhao, do you think my soup is good for Childe's body? If there is, I will stew it for my son every day. Hua Manxi seems to see a glimmer of hope, this is a soup tonic method handed down from Chinese traditional Chinese medicine, maybe it can really be of some use to Xu Jinfei's body.
"I think it's doable." Uncle Zhao nodded, "But if it is stewed separately for the son, the ingredients will have to be reduced." ”
"I know, I'll stew him a small bowl of soup every day from now on." Hua Manxi replied.
"Hey, I've saved so many people up and down today, and I have no merit and hard work, why don't I have stewed soup to drink?" Qingfeng only felt that the interaction between the two of them looking at each other and smiling with affection was too dazzling, and he couldn't help but cover his heart and scream.
"If you want to drink soup, I'll stew it for you." Li Qiuqiu smiled slightly, approached the breeze, and said in a low voice.
As soon as the breeze lowered his head, he saw Li Qiuqiu's flower-like smile, and was stunned for a moment, and then he blushed in hindsight.
Uncle Zhao: "......."
Light Cloud: "......"
It hurts so much! You are full of water, and they are the ones who should drink the medicinal soup!
That night, Uncle Zhao and Xu Jinfei discussed the matter of transporting people over for another night, and finally hit the idea on Huamanxi's chili sauce.
As long as this chili sauce is made bigger and pretended to be a merchant, no one will care how many people are transported back and forth.
As for how to make this chili sauce bigger, it still depends on Hua Manxi's opinion.
After the negotiation, how to communicate with Hua Xiaochu is the matter of the prince, Uncle Zhao has been preparing medicine for a whole day, and he is already too tired to work, so he hurriedly rushes people and closes the door to sleep.
Xu Jinfei was not in good spirits, and when he came out of Uncle Zhao's room, he saw Hua Manxi wearing only a thin set of clothes, standing in the corridor, as if waiting for him.
Although it was September now, the cool breeze had already begun to blow at night, Xu Jinfei had a thought, took off his robe and draped it over her shoulders.
"You're not sleeping at such a late hour?" Xu Jinfei vomited a lot of blood because of today's poisonous hair, his middle qi was a little insufficient, and his voice was low.
"You didn't eat anything for dinner, I was afraid that you would be hungry, so I made a supper for you." Hua Manxi said truthfully.
Xu Jinfei's pale lips hooked slightly, and he said lightly: "Don't worry, I have this disease since I was a child, if it is poisonous, it will often vomit blood, and it will be normal in a few days, and I can't die." ”
It's not the first time Hua Manxi has seen him poisonous, she has seen him once when she first met, but her mood is very different.
Last time, I was worried that he would die in his own house, but this time I felt the same and felt distressed.
"Uncle Zhao's medical skills are so skillful, he will always be cured." Hua Manxi didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, so in a hurry, he grabbed his hand and said, "I cooked a small pot of porridge, you eat it while it's hot." ”
However, Xu Jinfei took her hand and held her in his arms.
Hua Manxi couldn't move, but he felt that his slightly cold palm was covering his waist, and there was a trembling urge.
She raised her head slightly, and crashed into his inky eyes, her heart beating faster and faster.
"What, what's wrong?" She spoke apprehensively, then lowered her head again, "Wait until someone else sees it." ”
"When I see it, I see it, this is my own home, and I can do whatever I like." Xu Jinfei leaned his head on Hua Manxi's shoulder, hugged her with both hands, and hugged her tighter.
The moonlight was quiet, the breeze was gentle, the two hugged silently for a while, Xu Jinfei sighed with satisfaction, and said softly: "Manxi, I have always been the only one who saves others, and today you can come to save me, I am very happy, thank you." ”
Hua Manxi heard him say so solemnly, and felt a little distressed, but he still showed a smile, raised his face to look at him, and said in a low voice: "You saved me once today, I saved you once, it's even, if it's-"
When Hua Manxi said this, he paused a little embarrassedly, and then said, "If you want to make a promise, you have to do something else." ”
She was shy, but she had her own courage, Xu Jinfei was almost stupid, and after a long time, he gently imprinted a kiss on her forehead, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, I will come to marry you." ”
After he said that, he said again: "Marry only you." ”
Hua Manxi's heart shook, and after a long time, he said in disbelief: "Really? Really only marry me? ”
Even a merchant like Second Uncle Hua can marry a flat wife, let alone a noble son like Xu Jinfei.
It was even more difficult to find a monogamous person in ancient times than to ascend to the sky.
"You can cook, you can save people, you can write letters, you can read, you can care about me, marry you, you are better than others, enough." Xu Jinfei smiled slowly, and his voice became more and more gentle and low.
"Then you have to talk and talk, if you don't talk, I won't wait for you, turn around and find an honest and reliable man to get married." Hua Manxi was moved in his heart, but he didn't have full hope.
Now when he is in love, he can't say anything, but Lu Yao knows the horsepower, and he will see the hearts of the people for a long time.
"I, Xu Jinfei, will do what I say, and I will make a promise." He stretched out his hand and gently pulled the flowers scattered in front of him behind his ears, his movements were soft, and his eyes were affectionate.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem! Ahem, ahem! An abrupt voice suddenly sounded behind him, it was Uncle Zhao.
Hua Manxi's face turned red, and he hurriedly lowered his face and said, "You remember to drink porridge, I'll go to sleep first." ”
She didn't dare to look up at Uncle Zhao's gaze, and slipped away.
Xu Jinfei's gaze was glued to her back, and it was not until it was gone, that he slowly withdrew his eyes, walked slowly to the stone table, and uncovered the small casserole placed on it.
Inside is a pot of steaming porridge with chopped green onions, and the color is lovely.
"Is there something wrong? Uncle Zhao? Xu Shizi scooped a spoonful of porridge to his lips and gently cooled it, and asked casually.
"The frontier is secretly protected, and the Beidi people have moved again, and the imperial court intends to let the old prince go to the territory." Uncle Zhao handed a specially made secret letter to Xu Jinfei.
Xu Jinfei unfolded the secret letter, frowned and looked at it for a long time, and then sighed: "In the last battle, the prince of Beidi was abolished by me, and the rest of the princes of the Beidi royal court were young and overwhelmed by the heavy responsibility. ”
"You mean, His Majesty is luring you out?" Uncle Zhao said in disbelief, "He still doesn't believe the fake news you spread?" ”
"My Xu family's military achievements are great, but I am missing, my merits are still there, and I have to reward Xu Qing. One door and two countries, how can he rest assured? Besides, the talisman is still in my hand. Xu Jinfei drank the porridge unhurriedly.
"So what's going on now? Are we going back to Beijing? Uncle Zhao asked in a low voice.
"Go back to Beijing, it's not time yet, if I go back, it will definitely be a scene of drawing swords and crossbows, without complete preparation, my Xu family has no way to live, but my father wants to go to the field, I am afraid that I will be harmed by traitors, we have to go back to the northland grassland." Xu Jinfei said coldly.
"When will you go?" Uncle Zhao said with a solemn expression.
"Don't worry, it's not too late to set off after drinking the village chief's happy wine, the two factions in the court are fighting, my father is going to set off, I'm afraid it's not so fast, besides, Manxi finally invited me once, how can I give her some face." Xu Shizi ate the porridge with a satisfied expression and said affectionately.
