Chapter 10 Manxi encounters difficulties in learning art

Hua Manxi saw him respond, so she cautiously opened the door, and after dodging out, she closed her door again.

When she came to the stove, she first put out a large bowl of chicken soup that had been warm in the stove last night, and then put the remaining chicken and chicken soup into the food box that usually delivers food to her aunt and uncle in the field.

Immediately afterwards, she washed rice and cooked a big pot of rice, and fried all the pickled squid that her uncle brought back, added some chili peppers, fried a large pot, and finally fried a bean, and then brought it to the hall.

Of course, she also secretly brought a big bowl of rice and some vegetarian dishes to the room, squid is seafood, Xu Jinfei was so seriously injured, she didn't dare to give it to him.

"Manxi, why did you get up so early? Is this all ready? Uncle Hua saw that the table was on the table, and felt that this niece was becoming more and more sensible, if she hadn't insisted on taking out the five taels of silver to show him his legs, maybe he wouldn't even be able to walk now.

But it was so much so that she almost wanted to marry the fool of the Ding family-

"Didn't the master ask me to go to his house yesterday to practice some basic skills and sword skills? I thought that the master would not accept our apprenticeship, but we should not be too rude, so I killed a chicken and stewed it early, and then prepared to go to the master's house. Hua Manxi pointed to the food box that was placed aside, and lied not too much.

"It's still Manxi who is sensible, and Manxi is thoughtful." The eldest aunt also got up, looking at Hua Manxi's eyes full of love, "There are still a few chickens at home, and I will kill one when you come back." ”

"No, there is still a hen, but you have to keep the eggs, Komatsu is now the time to grow his body, there is no meat to eat, and if he doesn't eat a few eggs, he is afraid that he will not grow tall." Hua Manxi's heart was warm, and he looked at his aunt and said, "I will definitely learn from the master well, and we will definitely have meat to eat at home every day in the future." ”

"Okay, my aunt is waiting for you to have a chance." The eldest aunt saw that Hua Manxi was becoming more and more sensible, and she was inevitably sad in her heart, but she still thought that the withdrawal of her relatives hit her, and her niece, who was timid and cautious in the past, was going out to cook.

Although cooking is a job that makes a lot of money, it is smoky, how can a girl's family make a living from this for a long time? She didn't want Manxi to follow her mother's old path-

After returning the five taels of silver from the Ding family, she must find a good family for Manxi.

Hua Manxi naturally didn't know these plans in his aunt's heart, and after eating a bowl of rice in a hurry, he took the food box and followed the memory of the original owner to Uncle Li's house.

Uncle Li is a wealthy family in the village, in addition to the village chief, it belongs to the Li family's house style, it is a blue brick house, and there is a wide yard, and a lot of vegetables are planted in the yard, which shows that Aunt Li is also a hard-working person.

There is only one point, that is, Uncle Li has no sons, only three daughters, the eldest daughter and the second daughter are married, and there is a younger daughter who stays at home, which is a thousand loves, and it is rumored that Uncle Li wants to find a son-in-law for the younger daughter.

"Yo, isn't this the niece of the Hua family who was divorced by Ding Xiucai? Why are you carrying something to me? Li Qiuqiu saw Hua Manxi coming to the door, hooked up a sarcastic smile, and said in a weird manner.

It was Uncle Li's youngest daughter.

That Ding Xiucai looks handsome and gentle, and has an elegant and gentle temperament, which is admired by all the girls in the village, but he is married to a coward-like original body, and many girls in the village are unwilling! This Li Qiuqiu is one of them.

If Ding Xiucai is in high school in the future, he will go to the capital! Which of them, the girls in the poor ravine, has such the blessing to go to the capital to be an official wife? It's just that the original father doesn't want his mother to raise it, and he has this blessing! How can it not be envied and hated?

As if she hadn't heard the ridicule in her words, Hua Manxi said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "I'm here to find Uncle Li." ”

"Looking for my dad? What are you looking for my dad for? Isn't it that you're going to marry Na Ding's second baby, and ask my father to go and cook the wedding meal for you? Li Qiuqiu smiled even more wantonly.

"No, I worshipped Uncle Li as my master yesterday, and I'm here to learn my skills today." Hua Manxi naturally knew what Li Qiuqiu was thinking, but she was in her thirties, so naturally she didn't have the leisure to see this teenage girl.

Making money is the most important thing now, so what Ding Xiucai, she is not uncommon at all.

"What? You worshipped my father as a master? How did I not know? If you're like that, do you know how to cook? Li Qiuqiu looked at Hua Manxi in disbelief.

"Manxi, you're here." Hua Manxi was about to speak, when a serious voice suddenly interrupted Li Qiuqiu, and she raised her eyes to see that it was Uncle Li who was holding a kitchen knife.

"Master." Hua Manxi called out respectfully, stepped forward, handed over the food box in his hand, and said, "The master is sympathetic to me, and he didn't accept my apprenticeship, so he specially stewed some chicken soup, sent some, and asked the master not to dislike it." ”

Hua Manxi's every move is full of good upbringing and bearing, neither humble nor arrogant, calm and calm, but not far from the ladies of the family. Uncle Li couldn't help but look at Hua Manxi twice, he had always wanted to raise his daughter like this, and when he heard that she was dismissed by the Ding family that day, he didn't cry or make trouble at all, but he was even more upright than a man.

It's a pity, it's a girl, if it's a boy, how good.

"You've got a heart." Uncle Li sighed imperceptibly, took the food box, opened a slit slightly, and the rich and tangy smell of chicken soup came out.

"Dried bamboo shoots are added to this chicken soup? This dried bamboo shoot is a good thing, but the taste is not as good as the fresh bamboo shoots, but it has a different taste when placed in the soup. "Uncle Li has been in charge of the spoon all the year round, although he is not a chef, but his mouth is also very picky, and ordinary things can't get into his eyes.

"The master praised it falsely, but there are no good things at home, so just put some flavor." Hua Manxi said truthfully.

Boiled bamboo shoots in chicken broth are not particularly delicious, but if there are good mushrooms, mushrooms, and even matsutake mushrooms, then it is called a superb taste.

"Dad, what can she do to cook? I've been asking you to take me to cook, but if you don't take me, you take her instead? Li Qiuqiu saw that Hua Manxi really worshipped his father as a master, and immediately exploded, stomped his feet, and shouted.

"What's your good job as a cook? Smoky? You have food and drink at home, what are you not satisfied with? When you are usually free, you will embroider, learn to settle accounts, and find a good man to marry! I know all day long! Uncle Li straightened his face and reprimanded mercilessly.

"Why can't I cook, my mother has said that I have a talent for cooking, so I don't want to get married, I want to be here, inherit your mantle and cooking skills!" Li Qiuqiu snorted coldly, squinting at Hua Manxi, "Then why did you take her to cook, I don't believe that she can cook better than me?" ”

Uncle Li sneered: "Don't be unconvinced, she cooks better than you, what kind of blind talent are you, your mother is fooling you, it's just arrogant!" ”

"Am I arrogant? I've followed you since I was a child, even if I'm not in charge, but I've turned over a few recipes, what does she have? Her mother-in-law who helped the cook didn't come back once in ten years, what could she do? Li Qiuqiu's eyes widened angrily, and he pointed at Huamanxi angrily.

Originally, she was angry with Hua Manxi, why could Hua Manxi, who was like an orphan girl, be married to her sweetheart? Now that she has withdrawn from her family, she has actually been approved by her father again, and she has actually accepted her as an apprentice?

You know, there are not ten people who want to be her father's apprentices, but there are eight! Even her own daughter begged him, but he didn't want to take her to cook! Why can the flowers be full of streams!

"Manxi, ignore her, let's go practice knife skills." Uncle Li's arrogance towards this young woman is commonplace, he really can't figure it out, he eats and drinks for her, but she just wants to endure hardship, she really cooks as a spoon, is it fun?

"Okay, master." Hua Manxi was not affected by this farce at all, nodded, and was about to follow Uncle Li into the door.

"No way!" Li Qiuqiu took a step forward and directly stopped Hua Manxi.

"You want to be my father's apprentice, and you have to pass me! Today you will compete with me, if you really have the ability to win me, then I will let you be my father's apprentice, if you can't win me, then you will get out! Li Qiuqiu tightly blocked the way of Hua Manxi and said viciously.

Hehe, this little girl has a really big mouth, she spent the ancestral kitchen in the Xixi family, and has been a chef for generations, she began to practice knife skills at the age of five, and was in charge of the spoon at the age of seven, and became a unique faction at the age of sixteen, opened a restaurant at the age of eighteen, and was interviewed on TV, and every time she cooked, she needed to book a week in advance-

It's really a tiger falling into Pingyang and being bullied by dogs!

"What does the master think?" Hua Manxi's heart twisted and turned, a hundred and ten back and forth, and finally recognized the reality and humbly asked Uncle Li's opinion.

"Daddy! You can't favor her! Li Qiuqiu saw Uncle Li frowning, stomped his feet again, gritted his teeth and said, "Not only to compete, Dad, you are also a figure with a face in Peach Blossom Village, how can you accept apprentices silently, no matter how you say it, you have to invite the village chief, Li Zheng, and some readers to comment on it, whether she is qualified to be your apprentice!" ”

This time, she must step on Huamanxi to take the position, so that everyone can see her ability! Although her father has no son, she wants to prove that her daughter can also inherit her father's mantle!

"Since Sister Qiu is so persistent, why don't the master fulfill her once, let her see if this work is so easy to do." Hua Manxi naturally knew what Li Qiuqiu was thinking about, but if he really wanted to do this, it would not hurt him.

If her reputation for excellent cooking skills can spread in Peach Blossom Village, it will be easier to find a job, and it will be easier to repay the money.

"Since you also said so, then I will go and invite the village chief and Lizheng to come, you will compare, and I will also see how capable you are." Uncle Li pondered for a while, nodded, and agreed.
