"I can't cut it, I want to call Hua Lanxiang, I want to lie down and get paid, how can there be such a cheap thing!" Niu Er snorted.

"Master Niu, my mother is indeed very sick, she can't get out of bed, she really can't come to work, I come here, it's not for nothing, I can say a big thing, but whatever my mother will, I will, my mother won't, I will, I will definitely not delay your business."

Zhao Xixi was about to speak, but Hua Manxi stood up first, looked at Niu Er calmly, and said in a cool voice.

"Hey, you little girl, not big, but your tone is not small, you are only a few years old, you will chop vegetables, and dare to compare with your mother! It's really a laughing person, hahaha-" The second cow laughed as if he had heard some funny joke, and said to the apprentice behind him, "Do you believe that she can chop vegetables?" You've been following me for more than two years, do you dare to say that? ”

The apprentice looked like an honest boy, looked at Hua Manxi with a holding face, and snorted in a low voice, "Don't dare." ”

"In this way, if you want to go to work on behalf of your mother, you can cut a few dishes and see, if you can cut better than my apprentice, you can work here, otherwise, you can get out." The second cow beckoned, let his little apprentice stand in front of him, and said proudly.

"Master Niu, you-Li San'er was specially taught by you, how can you compare with a little girl?" Zhao Haoxiao was in a hurry, and he wanted to stop this game.

"Don't worry, I've learned too, I can win him." Hua Manxi was very calm, and gave Zhao Xixi a relieved look.

Zhao Xixi thought of the delicious supper last night, and thought to herself that this girl might have some ability, if she hadn't learned cooking, she would definitely not be able to make such a supper.

But after all, she is a female baby, and the girl is learning cooking, how can there be many? Zhao Xixiao thought like this, and his heart rose again.

Here, Niu Er had already instructed his apprentice to stand in front of the board, and asked Xiao Yezi to bring a few cucumbers and a few radishes.

"Li San'er, you first shred this radish and let this girl see if she can cut it out." Niu Er glanced at Zhao Xixi and Hua Manxi coldly, and his words were full of victory.

Li San'er didn't dare not listen, and immediately took the kitchen knife and began to peel the skin, but after a few clicks, the skin was peeled, and then cut up the shredded radish, although Niu Er refused to teach him the ability to stir-fry, but the knife work was really practiced, and a radish soon became shredded radish with the sound of a clattering knife.

At a glance, this shredded radish is evenly thick, long and thin, and can be scored as a seven.

"You cut it." That Niu Er was very satisfied with the shredded radish cut by Li San'er, and looked at Hua Manxi, "Even if you can cut five like this shredded radish, I will let you go to work on your mother's behalf." ”

Hua Manxi only felt funny, this chopping vegetables, she began to practice at the age of five, she was still young at the time, her wrist had no strength, she customized a small kitchen knife at home, I don't know how many kitchen knives were broken, her knife work, not to mention this junior apprentice, is Niu Er, and it is less than one-tenth of her.

Hua Manxi looked at Zhao Xixi's eyes anxiously, presumably he was in a hurry to make breakfast, if the master got up and hadn't made breakfast yet, then this punishment would hit Zhao Xixi's head again.

She didn't want to waste time with this Niu Er, so she simply took a step to shut him up.

Hua Manxi didn't say a word, stood in front of the board, and peeled the radish first, however, he didn't cut the shredded radish with a knife, but asked Xiao Yezi: "Did you bring a hairband?" ”

Xiao Yezi didn't know why, but he still took out a touch of hair from his sleeve and brought it to her.

Hua Manxi showed a provocative smile towards the second master of the cow, and said slowly: "Master Niu, you are optimistic." ”

With that, she blindfolded the hairband and picked up the kitchen knife again.

When everyone saw it, their jaws were stunned, this is to cut vegetables blindfolded! This flower orchid's daughter actually has such ability!

Before everyone could be surprised, Hua Manxi's hand had already moved, although she was blindfolded, her movements were faster than that Li San'er, the kitchen knife couldn't even hear the sound, it was fast and cold, and the radish didn't even move.

But in a few moments, Hua Manxi paused, took off the hairband on his eyes, and gently pulled out the complete radish with a kitchen knife, and a stack of clean and neat radish shreds appeared in front of everyone.

The shredded radish was thinly sliced, evenly stripped, and shimmering in the rising sun.

Everyone in the kitchen was stunned, and Niu Er's face was even more pale and pale, which was very ugly.

"How? Second Master Niu, are you satisfied? I think this Hua Lanxiang's daughter, the knife work is better than Hua Lanxiang. Zhao Xixi couldn't imagine that Hua Manxi actually had such a ability, it was a surprise, but in front of everyone, she still had to take care of things at one end, so she said to Niu Er with a straight face.

"To be a cook, you can just chop vegetables and set pots! She can carve flowers for plating! That Niu Er still doesn't believe in evil, but when Hua Manxi is blind cat meets a dead mouse, he picked up a cucumber casually, carved it into a blooming flower with neat movements, placed it on the board, and said to Hua Manxi, "This, can you?" ”

Hua Manxi but smiled silently, and also picked up a cucumber, under his direct gaze, it quickly became a flower, but the petals were more than his, and the posture was more beautiful than his, afraid that this Niu Er would not be convinced, she carved the remaining cucumbers together, and made them into small flower baskets, some into small grass, and some into the sun-

Niu Er was completely out of luck this time, I thought I would give her a dismount, but I didn't want to lose my face in front of everyone, so I was so angry that I suffocated my face and went down without steps.

"Since Zhao Xixiao is so capable and has found such a capable person, what spoon do you want me to take charge of Niu Er, it is better for you to palm this spoon together!" Seeing that everyone was amazed at the lifelike flowers carved by Hua Manxi, Niu Er didn't give him any face, so he was so angry that he dropped his hat and said to Zhao Xi, "I'm in a bad mood these days, I don't want to go to work, I want to take leave!" ”

He said that, and without waiting for Zhao Xixi to agree, he walked away, leaving a group of people to look at each other.

Zhao Xixi thought that he would finally raise his eyebrows in front of Niu Er at this time, but he didn't want others to just throw his hands away! Take a leave of absence! Originally, there was a master in charge of the spoon in the kitchen, but the master went back to the countryside to recuperate, so Niu Er's family was the only one. Isn't this to make the Lord's house hungry? If the main family is hungry, why should she, the steward, come to do it?

"Ouch, Master Niu-" Zhao Haoxi regretted it at this time, she originally wanted to give Niu Er a little look, let him know who had the final say in this kitchen, but she didn't want him to lose face and be ruthless, so he played with this temperament!

She was so anxious that she stomped her foot, anxious.

"Zhao Hao, I'm sorry, I'm sorry for the trouble, in this kitchen, except for Master Niu, there is no one who can take charge of the spoon?" Seeing this, Hua Manxi stepped forward and asked in a low voice.

"Originally, there was a master, but he was not feeling well some time ago, and his wife asked him to go back to his hometown to recuperate. Zhao said.

"If Zhao Xixi can trust me, why don't you let me give it a try? After coping with breakfast first, you can take the time to talk to Master Niu and persuade him to come back. Hua Manxi spoke decently, which made people feel comfortable, so Zhao Xixi looked left and right, and had no idea, only like this.

"I can only do this first, for breakfast, there must be porridge, the old lady must eat light and nutritious, and the young lady and son of the house must eat a lot of long body, and there must be pasta, because the second aunt and the fourth aunt love pasta. The food in Sunfu is actually simple. Zhao said.

This is easy to do, Hua Manxi nodded, and immediately said: "Porridge, just cook beef porridge, warm supplement, suitable for all ages, pasta, just make vegetable cakes, easy to restrain women, women eat and look good, will not get tired, young master of the house, make one more steamed egg, and make three other side dishes for porridge, a sour and hot potato shreds, a green vegetable, a cold chicken shred, and then cook a pot of soy milk, how about it?" ”

Hua Manxi's reaction was beyond Zhao Xixi's expectations, this girl is really good, as soon as she said this, she came up with a menu, as if she was used to doing this.

"Girl, what the hell do you do?" Zhao Xixi paused and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"I'm also a cook, and I'm a cook in a big family in our village." Hua Manxi paused and added, "The craft is learned from the master in the village. ”

"No wonder, then do as you say!" Zhao Xi's eyebrows opened his eyes and smiled, and he suddenly came to an idea, cleared his throat, and said to the people in the kitchen, "You all do what Manxi said!" ”

Hua Manxi nodded, and asked the number of people eating in the house again, and then instructed people to wash rice, boil porridge, use the best stem rice, and let the meat cutter help the cook, cut the beef into thin slices and chop it into meat foam, she took ginger, garlic, pepper, soy sauce, and cooking wine to marinate the beef first. After the rice boils, pour in the meat foam and cook it over high heat, sprinkle in chopped green onions and drop a few drops of sesame oil before cooking.

The beans were soaked last night, and Niu Er should have been used to cook porridge, but it happened to be used to grind soy milk at this time, and Hua Manxi asked another meat cutter to grind the soy milk, and the ground soybean milk should be boiled again, and then sugar was added. The remaining bean dregs are intended to be used by Hua Manxi to make snacks.

There will be fresh milk in the house every day, Hua Manxi took some, mixed it with flour and milk and bean dregs, and then steamed it in a pot to make a multigrain cake.
