Chapter 104: Hua Xiaochu is very busy
"Uncle Zhao! You're serious! I know what I'm going to do! Don't think about it! Xu Jinfei's tone was a little heavier, and his eyes became cold.
"It's good to save the child, please forgive the slave for his miswords." Only then did Uncle Zhao soften his attitude and ask for sin.
"You're also for my good, I understand, no need to say more." Xu Jinfei sighed slightly, and then said, "What is the situation of mining in the back mountain?" If it is useless, the land will be turned over, and someone will be asked to plant chili peppers, and Manxi will share the profits with me. ”
Uncle Zhao: "......"
The people who climbed the back mountain were all slowly stolen from the army one by one by their hard work! All of them are good sons and daughters with a top ten, outstanding military achievements, and loyalty! Now the prince actually asked them to grow chili peppers!
Uncle Zhao felt wronged for them! More aggrieved than sweat and blood BMW! What did this little village girl do to the prince!
If it weren't for the fact that she was cooking so deliciously, he really couldn't help but attack her!
Where is Hua Manxi's incident, she just thinks that although this Xu Gongzi doesn't talk much, he is a good person to get along with, and he doesn't have the shelf of a big family at all, he can listen to whatever she says, he is really a good man with both demeanor and self-cultivation.
She went back to the kitchen and started to make breakfast, she soaked the glutinous rice last night, she washed the glutinous rice in the basin again, then took it out and drained the water, there was a big pumpkin on the shelf of ingredients, and the breakfast she was going to make today was pumpkin steamed rice.
There are still some sausages brought last night, and Hua Manxi cut the sausages into thin slices.
Cut a small piece of the top of the pumpkin, hollow out the scoop inside with a spoon, then clean the pumpkin with water, then put the glutinous rice into the pumpkin cup, after the pumpkin is almost filled, then put the cut sausage on top, and then re-cover the cut piece, insert the skewers, and put it in the pot to steam over high heat.
Eating whole grains in the morning is not only full, but also good for digestion and good for the body.
Hua Manxi took a few purple potatoes again, peeled them and cut them into small pieces, put rice to boil thin porridge, after the porridge opened, add purple potato grains, cover the pot and continue to simmer for a while.
Beat a few eggs, mix them with flour, add some carrots and cucumbers, heat the oil, spread them into a whole flatbread over low heat, then roll them up and cut them.
Finally, she cut some of the kimchi she brought from home, mixed it with oil, and a simple breakfast was ready.
"These coarse grains are extremely cheap things, but they insist on asking Hua Xiaochu to make the specifications of the imperial meal, who marries Hua Xiaochu in the future, it is really a blessing." Qingfeng looked at Hua Manxi and brought out a whole pumpkin, but he didn't want her to go down a few times, so he divided the pumpkin into six pieces, but each piece of pumpkin had something else on it, it was actually steamed glutinous rice and oily sausage.
"This cooking, it's really a royal meal! The glutinous rice is fragrant and soft, the pumpkin is sweet and fresh, and it is paired with this chewy and unique aroma of sausage! It's really a blend of tastes and layers! Uncle Zhao was also amazed.
"The glutinous rice is slightly filling, and a bowl of light sweet potato gruel quenches your thirst and warms your stomach, and the match is seamless." Li Qiuqiu also came over, "I got up late today, why don't you call me, I will get up early tomorrow and learn to make breakfast with you!" ”
"Come on, come on, how can you say it so exaggerated? Hurry up and eat it. "Although as a chef, the happiest thing is that the diners like their own craft, but every day I praise it, Hua Manxi feels a little floating.
was eating, but suddenly there was a knock at the door, Hua Manxi glanced at Xu Jinfei and asked, "I'm going to open the door?" ”
Xu Jinfei nodded, and she put down her chopsticks and walked to the door in small steps and opened the door.
The person outside the door was Uncle Liu, followed by villagers carrying chili peppers on their backs.
"I've already weighed it just now, put the peppers in the yard and come here to settle the money." Uncle Liu shouted.
"Godfather?" Hua Manxi was also happy to see so many chili peppers, she had just received an order for a thousand jars from Jinyutang.
"Your aunt said you were a cook here, so let me bring the chili peppers here." Uncle Liu wiped his sweat, "There are about three hundred catties of chili peppers here." ”
"Okay, you settle the money first, and you tell them, whoever has vacant land can grow many kinds of chili peppers, and we will collect these chili peppers for a long time." Hua Manxi nodded, opened the door and asked the villagers to bring the chili peppers in.
"Niece of the Hua family, is this chili really harvested for a long time? Then I have a lot of them, a penny a pound, and planting a few hundred pounds of chili peppers is more useful than growing food! And this pepper is very easy to grow, and it is not a problem to collect more than 1,000 catties! ”
"More than a thousand catties, but ten taels of silver! Top half a year of home! ”
"yes, so this chili is a good thing! I heard from relatives in the city that this chili sauce is selling crazy in the city, and everyone inquires! ”
The people who delivered the peppers began to talk one after another.
"Uncles, this chili pepper, I have been harvesting it for a long time, if you can't believe me, you can first plant the useless wasteland at home, in front of the house and behind the house, and when my chili sauce business grows bigger, you can trust it, and it is not too late to plant it in large quantities." Hua Manxi naturally understands the concerns of the villagers, and if they are asked to plant all the fields with chili peppers at once, it will be impossible, so they can only take it step by step and take it slowly.
"Don't worry, my girl is a reliable worker, if she doesn't accept chili peppers, I will definitely notify you in advance." Uncle Liu also stood up and said a word.
"We all listen to Uncle Liu, plant peppers! Anyway, some places are idle! ”
"Yes, planting a lot more, planting less is a lot, it's better than this barren land, and this pepper is also easy to plant."
The villagers below chimed in.
Hua Manxi and Uncle Liu gave the money to the villagers, Uncle Liu is going to order the jar again, this time it is a thousand jars, although Uncle Liu thinks that this chili sauce is profitable, but he didn't expect it to sell so quickly, and he is even more impressed by Hua Manxi at the moment.
"Manxi, why did this chili sauce sell so quickly?" Uncle Liu was amazed.
"This is just the beginning, I just sold the Jin Yutang family, naturally it is fresher, and it should not be sold so fast in the future, so I have to go to retail, and I want to go to other places to sell and see, maybe this chili sauce is more popular in the north than in the south." Hua Manxi said.
"The idea is good, it's just that you are a girl, after all, it is inconvenient to go to other places, and I can't leave when I see that I am about to get married." Uncle Liu is embarrassed.
"Godfather, don't worry, take your time, you go and customize the jar first, I'll deal with the chili peppers." Hua Manxi wanted to ask Uncle Liu to go in and eat something, but after thinking about it, this is not the Hua family, and he can't be the master, so he had to swallow it back when it came to his mouth.
Hey, this Xu family is quite big, and it's convenient to do work, but it's not your own home, and it's a little inconvenient.
I still have to make more money, and it's a serious thing to start a house by myself.
"By the way, godfather, I want to ask you, whose vacant land is that godmother sells wontons?" Hua Manxi naturally thought of the house, so she had to plan as soon as possible, anyway, she already had more than a thousand taels of silver in her hand, and it was serious to buy the land first.
"That piece of land, it's from several brothers of our Liu family, what do you want to do?" Uncle Liu asked.
"I want to buy that land, can you help me ask how big it is." Hua Manxi said honestly, "It's best to keep it secret and don't let others know." ”
"What do you want to do with such a big piece of land?" Uncle Liu wondered, "If you are worried about that wonton stall, that piece of land happens to be good, it doesn't hurt if I give it to you, anyway, Da Lang and Erlang bought land in the town, and in the future, there will only be an ancestral house here." ”
"I want to buy a big house, and my aunt, uncle and brother Yang can live in the future." Hua Manxi said bluntly.
Uncle Liu sighed instead, and said bluntly: "Girl, I said you, don't be angry, although you are an expert in making money, your vision is a little shorter, your Hua family already has a house, although it is dilapidated, but in the end there is already a house, what is the use of you starting a big house in the village?" If you have money, if you want me to say, it is more cost-effective to buy land in the town, and the land in the town is not very expensive now, and the eldest Lang Erlang of my family bought it a few years ago was only two hundred taels. Now that he has earned money, he has started a house. Your cousin Da Yang is studying art in the town, and Xiao Song is studying in the town, and now that you are doing business, wouldn't it be more convenient to go to the town? There are boats, and you can go anywhere. ”
Hua Manxi was a little ashamed of Uncle Liu's words, and she still crossed over in vain, and she was not as knowledgeable as an ancient.
"If you buy land in the town now, how much silver will it cost to build another big house?" Hua Manxi didn't know much about it, and remembered that her aunt said last time that she would ask for 10,000 taels of silver, and she also felt that it was really expensive.
"If you buy land, you want a big piece, about two thousand taels of silver, and if it is small, one thousand taels of silver is fine, it was cheap in the early years, but now it is expensive." Uncle Liu sighed and said, "If you want to build a house, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it without a few thousand taels of silver." ”
"Then the bothersome godfather asked my eldest brother to help me keep an eye on it, I want to be older." After thinking about it for a while, Hua Manxi made up his mind.
Uncle Liu said, in fact, she had thought about it a long time ago, she was also bent on going to the city to settle down, and it was much more convenient to do business, but-
It's just that why did I suddenly get obsessed and want to start a house in Peach Blossom Village? It's not because this Xu Gongzi messed up her mind!
Hua Manxi's face was a little hot, and he rubbed his face with his hands and said, "Brother Lao has helped me pay attention, I'll go and get busy first." ”
Without waiting for her godfather to reply, she hurriedly turned around and went back to the house, a bit of a deserted escape.
"Hua Xiaochu, why did you go for so long? This meal is going to be cold. Seeing Hua Manxi coming back, the breeze asked curiously, "Who is it?" ”
"It's my godfather who brought the peppers." Hua Manxi said honestly, "Have you finished eating?" After eating, I will clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and today I still have to make chili peppers, sell chili sauce, and I will give you dividends. ”
