Chapter Seventy-Six: Delicate and Delicious Chrysanthemum Fish
When Li Qiuqiu talked about Xu Jinfei, a trace of blush rippled on his cheeks, and he said shyly and happily.
Hua Manxi sighed in his heart, he didn't know what it was like, and his expression was a little embarrassed.
After a while, she slowed down her tone and said cautiously: "That Qiuqiu, are you, have you taken a fancy to that Xu Gongzi?" ”
Li Qiuqiu glanced at her and said directly: "Do you only see it now?" I thought everyone saw it. ”
Hua Manxi: "......." said that the ancients were shy and reserved!
"Then Xu Gongzi is not an ordinary family at first glance, your father and mother are your daughter, and the identity is very different, I'm afraid it's not very suitable, right? Look at me and Na Ding Xiucai, the marriage of childhood sweethearts is so yellow. Hua Manxi saw that Li Qiuqiu was frank and straightforward, his temperament was not bad, and Uncle Li was also an honest person, so he persuaded him by example.
"You and Ding Xiucai must be yellow, how can Ding Xiucai compare with Xu Gongzi, Xu Gongzi is ten times better looking than Ding Xiucai! No, a hundredfold!" Li Qiuqiu's eyebrows and eyes were full of admiration, "We were in the forest that night, and you were knocked unconscious by a wild boar, and it pounced on me, and it was about to pounce on me!" It was Xu Gongzi who shot an arrow, killing the wild boar and falling from the sky, just like a fairy! ”
From then on, she didn't remember what Ding Xiucai looked like! Her eyes were full of Xu Jinfei's handsome and outstanding figure, and that stunning glance made her unforgettable!
"That's it, you like it? Isn't character, personality, and family background important? Hua Manxi was completely impressed by Li Qiuqiu's face control.
"Ouch, as long as he looks good, I don't care what kind of character and family background he has! As long as you look good, you're good to go! Li Qiuqiu said seriously.
"Well, what if he makes you a concubine?" Hua Manxi asked again.
"Don't talk about being a concubine, as long as you can let this girl sleep for one night, this girl will have no regrets!" Li Qiuqiu's words were astonishing.
Hua Manxi: "......" is that she lost, it was she who lost! Say yes and be reserved and reserved, Miss Li, you are an ancient, can you have a little ancient consciousness!
"Well, let's cook." Hua Manxi was completely impressed by Li Qiuqiu's courage, and decided to teach her real kung fu and teach her a dish with enough weight, and said, "I'll teach you to make chrysanthemum fish!" ”
"Chrysanthemum fish?" Li Qiuqiu had never heard of it, so he hurriedly followed Hua Manxi, his eyes lit up and said, "If I use this way to take down Xu Gongzi, I will definitely give you a thick apprenticeship in the future!" ”
Hua Manxi: "....... "Can we cook well, don't mention Xu Gongzi?"
"This chrysanthemum fish, the method is not difficult, the most important thing is the knife technique, after it is made, the shape is like a chrysanthemum blooming, the taste is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, sweet and sour." Hua Manxi said as he instructed Li Qiuqiu to bring the grass carp to death, disembowel, and clean it.
"Then it is the most important step, cut the fish, first chop off the head and tail, then remove the back bones, abdominal spines, clean meat with skin, wipe the knife on the fish to the fish skin, but do not cut off the fish skin, 4-5 pieces are broken, and then cut the tendons until the fish skin continues, in this way, cut slowly, pay attention, must not cut off the fish fillet, then it will have no effect." Hua Manxi personally demonstrated and taught Li Qiuqiu to cut fish hand in hand.
Fortunately, Li Qiuqiu has followed Uncle Li since he was a child, and his knife skills are also a bit skilled, although the fish fillets are not cut thin enough, but the knife is careful, and he finally barely finishes cutting.
"That's it, it's rotten, where is it like a chrysanthemum?" Li Qiuqiu looked at the miserable fish on the board and shouted in disappointment.
"What's the hurry, it hasn't started yet." Hua Manxi's expression was calm, "To be a cook, the important thing is patience and patience in order to make exquisite dishes." ”
"Then, sprinkle a little salt, cooking wine, pepper and marinate for a while, evenly absorb the flavor, and pat the whole fish evenly with cornstarch, the cornstarch must be patted evenly, and a little fresh meat can not be exposed, so as not to break when it is fried." Hua Manxi brought salt shakers and corn starch again and taught Li Qiuqiu.
"The next step is to heat the oil from the pot, when it is burned to sixty percent hot, fry the fish in the pot, this frying technique should also be exquisite, you can't put it down at once, otherwise the shape is not beautiful enough, pinch one end first, slowly put it down, fry it until it is slightly set, and then let go, the oil temperature has risen at this time, fry it again, make the fish golden and crispy, and take out the oil."
"Wow, it's like a chrysanthemum now!" Li Qiuqiu saw Hua Manxi scooping out the fried fish, and exclaimed, "It's a pity that I cut it too thickly, this petal is not beautiful enough, if I knew that this was the case, I would have been more careful just now." She remorseed.
"This has to be skilled, and after practicing slowly, you can always cut the thickness evenly, and every petal is consistent." Hua Manxi followed the temptation, "After the fish is fished out, it is thickened." ”
"This sauce is adjusted like this, first start the pot, heat the oil, and you can put a little more, add sugar, soy sauce, water, boil over high heat, then add corn starch, adjust to thickness, an appropriate amount of white vinegar, after collecting the juice, pour it on the fish, if you want to look good, you can use some green vegetable leaves to blanch and then put the pot." Hua Manxi said that Li Qiuqiu had already poured the sauce on the fish according to her wishes.
"Wow, it's beautiful, it smells so good!" Li Qiuqiu saw that he had made this finished product, and he was very happy to take a pair of chopsticks and handed them to Hua Manxi, "Chef Hua, how did you try this dish of the apprentice?" ”
Hua Manxi sandwiched a small piece and put it in his mouth, this fish is fried well, crispy enough, but the sauce is not sour enough, if there is a tomato, the color will be more beautiful.
"Yes, do it a few more times, and you will be proficient." Hua Manxi encouraged.
"Thank you, Manxi! I'll take it home and show my dad first, and he'll be so happy to see me make such a dish! Li Qiuqiu carefully put the basin into the food box, and went home impatiently.
"Hey-you-" Hua Manxi looked at Li Qiuqiu's back as he rushed away, and put down his chopsticks a little speechlessly.
"You'd better wash the pot for me first!" Hua Manxi sighed and said, "An apprentice who cooks without washing pots is not a good cook!" ”
"You can't come in! You're not welcome in our house! You hurry out! As soon as Hua Manxi finished brushing the pot, he heard the angry voice of his aunt outside the courtyard.
Presumably the second aunt is here again! Hua Manxi hurriedly put down the spatula that was being cleaned, wiped his hands casually, and rushed out.
"Sister-in-law, everyone is a family, why do you have to do so badly! You're not afraid that I will really take the title deed and let the government drive you away! "The second aunt is still dying.
"I'm not afraid, even if we stay on the streets as a family! will definitely not let Manxi marry Wang Dazhuang! You just go to the police! "The eldest aunt was so angry by her shameless face that she immediately let it out, and she was not afraid, as long as the family was together, even if there was nowhere to go, even if she was locked up in prison together, even if she died together! She's not afraid anymore!
"You-" The second aunt didn't expect that the eldest aunt couldn't be frightened this time, and now the title deed and the house deed were nowhere to be found, and she searched the house and couldn't find where!
But Da Zhuang is getting thinner and thinner day by day! How good is that!
Her face was a little pale, she was choked for a while, she didn't know what to say, the eldest aunt was about to close the door, but the second aunt was pushed suddenly, and the whole heat pounced out, almost knocking the eldest aunt down.
The person who pushed her was not the second aunt, but the widow of the king!
"Li Cui Niang! No, sister-in-law, I beg you. "The arrogant appearance of the widow Wang and the thief of the New Year's pig that day is simply like two people, the whole person is blind, and she has lost a lot of weight. She knelt down in front of her eldest aunt with a puff, and wept and cried, "My widow has never begged anyone! I'm begging you this time, sister-in-law! Save our family no matter what! I'm just such a lone seedling! ”
She cried so much that she couldn't stop kowtowing.
"Rise up, widow king! Your family Da Zhuang has suffered such a thing, and I don't feel good in my heart, but your Da Zhuang is your child, and Manxi is also my child, Manxi doesn't like Da Zhuang, how can I let Manxi marry him? This marriage is a lifelong thing! When the eldest aunt saw that the widow Wang's head was bleeding, her heart softened a little and she persuaded.
"Then, then you can get married first, if you marry Da Zhuang and really wake up, if Manxi is not willing to be in our Wang family, it is okay to reconcile and leave! I just want to save Da Zhuang's life! Please, please! In the future, I am willing to make cattle and horses for you! The widow of the king whimsically proposed.
Hua Manxi was choked by these words, don't look at this widow Wang is very talkative, but if she really marries into their family, let alone divorce, even if Wang Dazhuang dies, she has to let herself stay in the Wang family for a lifetime! It's really better to say than to sing.
"Sister-in-law, you are allowed, saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter!" The second aunt saw that the eldest aunt's attitude softened, and hurriedly added firewood to the fire.
"How can this work? How can the major event of marriage be regarded as child's play, and if you say you will marry, you will marry, and if you say that you will leave, you will divorce? The eldest aunt shook her head, still refusing.
"Then, if you don't want to marry Manxi, you can marry her mother! Although Lan Xiang is a year older than the big one! But we don't dislike it! The widow Wang was even more astonishing, and she pulled Hua Manxi Niang to go up in person.
"That's right! Lanxiang is also in her thirties! If you don't marry again, you won't be able to marry in the future! It's okay to marry orchids! The second aunt suddenly came to her senses, and stepped forward and grabbed the eldest aunt's hand, "Sister-in-law, you and I are her sisters-in-law, the eldest sister-in-law is the mother, and it is the responsibility to manage her marriage. We don't dislike her for having children! ”
"Yes, sister-in-law, save our family, let someone send a message to Lan Xiang to come back!" The widow felt that the matter was decided, and her eyes lit up with excitement.
"You guys! You-" The eldest aunt was completely impressed by the shameless faces of these two people, and was so angry that she couldn't even speak!
