As soon as Uncle Li left, Li Qiuqiu found her mother, and secretly said a few words, which was her mother's mother, and nodded again and again.

Not long after, not only Uncle Li brought the village chief and Li Zheng, but also a bunch of villagers who wanted to see the excitement, all of whom heard that Uncle Li's daughter was going to compete with the newly recruited apprentice in cooking, and they all wanted to come and see.

Among this crowd is Ding Xiucai's mother-in-law, Zhao.

Li Qiuqiu looked at this formation, pursed the corners of his lips proudly, and picked the corners of his eyes at Hua Manxi, comparing them with a provocative look.

She wants to make Hua Manxi lose face, and she can't get along in Peach Blossom Village!

Hua Manxi was secretly amused, and only focused on sharpening the kitchen knife in his hand.

This time, the cooking competition was carried out in Uncle Li's big yard, using local materials, one pound of meat, one chicken, one sun-dried salted fish, and a basket of vegetables per person, but six dishes and one soup had to be made. The referees were Li Zheng, the village chief and Uncle Li, as well as a few popular villagers.

In order to mobilize the atmosphere, in addition to the winner can follow Uncle Li to cook, Li Zheng also gave a big prize, that is, by August 15, he will have a family banquet at home, and whoever wins will be determined to go to his house to cook this banquet.

Hua Manxi didn't pay attention to the child's house-like game, but as soon as he heard that he could have a family banquet at Lizheng's house if he won the game, he suddenly came to his senses.

This is a great opportunity for her to make money!

With the order of Uncle Li, Hua Manxi and Li Qiuqiu began to make intense preparations, making six dishes and one soup for an hour, in addition to the fact that there are people on both sides to burn the stove, they need to do it themselves, including killing chickens.

Hua Manxi first boiled a large pot of boiling water, killed chickens and plucked feathers, disemboweled, and disemboweled, with clean and neat movements. She only killed a chicken last night and practiced her hands, so this chicken is simply handy to kill.

Li Qiuqiu over there had only plucked half of the chicken feathers, and when he saw Hua Manxi carrying the killed chicken on the board, he was a little anxious.

"Wow, I can't see that the niece of the Hua family has some ability, Uncle Li's daughter hasn't finished plucking her hair, she killed a chicken." The crowd of onlookers crowded the courtyard and began to whisper.

"Yes, look at that action, even Uncle Li didn't kill the chicken so neatly, she just carried the chicken by the neck, and when she stroked it, the chicken feathers were all off, so fast-"

"My mother's mother works as a cook in the foreign house, how can my daughter have some ability-"

"Hey, I have a mother, I don't have a father, I heard that I was retired by the Ding family two days ago——"

"I was also present in this matter, and she came back that day wrapped in a broken mat, and there was not a good piece of meat on her body, saying that she had been spoiled by the bandits in the mountains, and you see that she still had ointment on her face——"

"Isn't this flower family stupid? This niece's reputation is like this, and she actually let her show up to learn to be in charge? Did you make up your mind to let this niece follow her mother's old path—"

The words around him began to change their flavor as they spoke, in this small ravine, the girl was ruined and dismissed, it was a scandal, and the crowd on the side looked at Hua Manxi with a little disgust.

Hearing the discussion around him, Li Qiuqiu hooked the corners of his mouth without a trace, and at the same time accelerated the movements of his hands.

She didn't believe that under such an influence, Hua Manxi could still put all her mind to compete with herself!

However, Hua Manxi didn't seem to hear it, his face was not red and his heart was not beating, he was calm, and he looked focused and calmly doing the work in his hands.

After Hua Manxi killed the chicken, he cleaned the salted fish and pork belly, and then poured out the vegetables in the vegetable basket to clean, in that basket, there were two carrots, two corn, an eggplant, a small pumpkin, some peanuts, a handful of fresh cabbage, ginger, garlic, green onions, etc.

Hua Manxi glanced at this ingredient, it is a little difficult to make six dishes and one soup, and it cannot be repeated.

She pondered a little, and then chose the dish in her mind.

Hua Manxi first separated the whole chicken bones, chicken bones, chicken heads, chicken feet, and chicken offal, and boiled them in a small pot, adding ginger slices, green onion knots, and cooking wine.

Immediately after that, she chopped the salted fish, cut the eggplant into long strips, mixed the ginger and garlic, poured all the ingredients into a small casserole, added some water, and covered the lid.

She didn't fry this salted fish and eggplant, but brought it to the hot stove, pulled out the red charcoal cubes in the fire with tongs, and then put the small casserole on top of the charcoal cubes, and simmered like this.

Chicken She plans to make two dishes, one shredded chicken and one diced chicken.

Add ginger slices to the chicken cooking wine, boil the water, let it cool and tear it into small strips with your hands, then take a carrot and cut it into shreds, add a little salt and stir to squeeze out the water, drain the water after it becomes soft, mix it into the shredded chicken, then heat the oil, add the minced garlic and ginger, soy sauce and white pepper, pour it on the dish, and sprinkle a handful of chopped green onions.

After the diced chicken is cut, first marinate it with salt, soy sauce, cooking wine, and then fry the peanuts in oil and remove them for later use.

Heat the oil again, fry the diced chicken until it is cooked thoroughly, add the peanuts, Hua Manxi picked a few chili peppers in the yard and added them to the pot, stir-fried over high heat and put them out of the plate.

Then, Hua Manxi cut the pork belly into slender slices, she originally wanted to make a braised pork, but after thinking about it, Li Qiuqiu must have made braised pork, she needed to find another way to become famous in one fell swoop. So she plans to use the pork belly for a barbecue, served with raw green vegetables.

Once the pork belly is grilled, the vegetables are simply blanched and served with a dipping sauce made with minced ginger, garlic, soy sauce and some pepper.

There is still a carrot cut into small cubes, add corn kernels and stir-fry, refreshing and tender.

Peel and slice the small pumpkin, steam it over high heat, and add only a little sugar, which is naturally delicious.

When the hour came, both sides of the game had finished their dishes.

Uncle Li looked at the dishes in front of Hua Manxi, and then at the dishes in front of Li Qiuqiu, with a serious expression.

"Serve the soup first." Uncle Li coughed and motioned for the two of them to serve.

The soup of Huamanxi is a skeleton chicken offal soup, and the clear soup with chicken offal is very sweet and not greasy at all.

And Li Qiuqiu's soup is an old stewed chicken soup, and the old fire soup stewed from the whole chicken has been boiled for an hour, and it is very delicious.

"This bowl of soup, I think the girl of the Li family is boiling it well." Li Zheng tasted two bowls of soup separately and commented.

"I also think that the girl of the Li family is boiling well, the soup is thick and mellow, and this skeleton soup seems bland." The village chief nodded, agreeing with Rizheng's words.

"If I eat before eating, I still like the soup boiled by the niece of the Hua family, there is no oil at all, it is sweet and delicious, it warms the stomach and does not affect the appetite, if I drink such a thick bowl of soup, I can't eat." Uncle Li tasted the two bowls of soup seriously, and said with a glance.

"Dad, you're eccentric!" As soon as Li Qiuqiu heard Uncle Li's words, he was immediately unconvinced, his eyes widened and he said angrily.

"I'm telling the truth, you boiled such a thick bowl of soup for the current dish, who still has the appetite for the next dish?" Uncle Li glared at her and said unhappily, "Don't be unconvinced, there are still four reviews that haven't tasted it, and more is better than less." ”

There are four villagers in the back, one of whom is Ding Xiucai's mother, after she drank the soup, she pretended to say: "I taste this soup, and it is also the girl of the Li family who boils it well, and the soup of the Hua family only uses skeletons and chicken offal is inevitably perfunctory." ”

Recognized by her sweetheart's mother, Li Qiuqiu was overjoyed, and pretended to be shy and said, "Thank you, Aunt Ding, for your compliment." ”

After this round, only Uncle Li felt that Huamanxi's soup was slightly better, and the other six people all felt that Li Qiuqiu boiled the soup more deliciously, so naturally Li Qiuqiu won a dish.

Li Qiuqiu's banner was victorious, and his eyes were a little proud, but Hua Manxi was neither humble nor arrogant, and he always looked calm.

"Serve." Uncle Li shouted again.

Li Qiuqiu and Hua Manxi both brought the other six dishes they had prepared to the front.

"Uncles, this is braised pork, this is fried shredded radish, this is ginger shredded salted fish, this is fried eggplant, corn and green vegetable soup, and sugar-coated peanuts." Li Qiuqiu stood aside and confidently introduced.

Li Qiuqiu has watched Uncle Li cook since he was a child, he has no very ability, and he has seven points of eyesight, so these dishes are well done, and the color and fragrance can be scored five points.

Hua Manxi glanced at the dishes on the table, and secretly judged in his heart.

"This braised pork is fat but not greasy, it melts in your mouth, it's good, it's good."

"The radish is crispy and sweet."

"Although the ginger salted fish is a little salty, it is just right to accompany the porridge."

"Although the color of the fried eggplant is a little different, it is not a meat dish but it makes the taste of a meat dish."

"Finally, a bowl of sweet corn and green vegetable soup, greasy, sugar-coated peanut rice and snacks, not bad."

Li Qiuqiu's evaluation is unanimous! Even Uncle Li was eating the food, and his originally frowning brows showed three points of relief.

Li Qiuqiu had the ticket to victory, and looked at Hua Manxi's expression more and more proud.

"Manxi, tell me what kind of dish you have." Uncle Li cleared his throat again and shouted.

"Okay." Hua Manxi nodded, took a step forward, glanced at everyone calmly, and then slowly continued, "This is the six dishes I made, the first one is called Gong Bang Chicken, the second is cold shredded chicken, the third is salted fish stewed eggplant, the fourth is slate pork belly, the fifth is fried corn kernels with diced radish, and the sixth is steamed pumpkin." Everyone, please enjoy it. ”

As soon as her words fell, Uncle Li's eyes lit up.

Although Li Qiuqiu's dishes are very good, Uncle Li is a knowledgeable person, and he can tell the difference by looking at the dishes.

Li Zheng and the village chief also smelled a special fragrance and took the lead in stretching out their chopsticks to pick up the vegetables.

"What kind of palace fried chicken is this, but it's unheard of, and this cold shredded chicken, it's the first time I've heard of it, and what kind of pork belly is this?" Although Lizheng is a noble town, to be honest, he has never left this ravine, and he is very curious about these novel dishes.
