This fabric is in good color, her clothes are indeed very old, and the fabric that my uncle bought last time didn't make it, so I just made clothes together.

She was planning in her heart, but the movement of her hand unambiguously opened the letter that Liu Boqing wrote to her.

Although she had only seen Liu Boqing once, it could be seen that he was a steady and quiet person, if it wasn't for something important, just to thank her for the chili sauce, he would definitely not write a letter alone.

Sure enough, after reading the letter written by Liu Boqing, Hua Manxi was immediately overjoyed.

"What did your eldest brother write to you, so happy?" Aunt Liu and her aunt were both illiterate, and when they saw Hua Manxi coming to the kitchen with the letter, they both joked.

"Big brother has good news." Hua Manxi said, "He said that I gave him and Komatsu chili sauce, but in one day, it was divided up by the students and Mr. of the academy, and everyone said that it was delicious, and thirty or forty people have asked him if he can buy such chili sauce!" ”

"Oh my God, is your hot sauce that good? I eat it very spicy, but your godfather also likes it very much. Aunt Liu exclaimed, "You haven't started to do this yet, so many people have asked." ”

"Not only that, it's the stall where I and Manxi sell wontons, and people come to ask every day." The eldest aunt felt honored, "There are still people who give out a jar of silver or two!" Manxi didn't sell it, saying that he wanted to whet their appetite. ”

"You little girl, where did you learn these things! Yours is it! You are just your cousin Yang who taught you, but you can still read and understand the letter! My son is a teacher, and I don't even know how to read! Aunt Liu smiled dumbly.

"Hee-hee, who made me smart." Hua Manxi smiled, "You guys go out of the stall, I'm going to talk to my godfather about business." ”

Hua Manxi is serious, this chili sauce, if you want to do it, it must be done well, otherwise when they buy it back, let people who are good at cooking find out the ingredients, I am afraid that there will be a lot of copycats, she must let people who love hot sauce recognize her Hua Manxi!

Hua Manxi went out with high spirits, but saw a familiar figure on the path not far away, looking around, Hua Manxi happened to be hiding behind the osmanthus tree, so the person didn't see her, and secretly walked down the path with a food box.

This person is none other than Ding Shuqing!

Hua Manxi thought of the danger he encountered when he and Hua Sangsang were picking mushrooms on that mountain that day, and at this time, it was even more certain that Ding Shuqing and Hua Sangsang conspired!

Only, when did they hook up? Hua Manxi was curious for a while, and wanted to follow up to see what was going on, but after thinking about it, her small body didn't have any kung fu, she escaped by luck last time, and she couldn't put herself in danger for the sake of curiosity.

It's still more important to make money. She suppressed the emotions in her heart and went straight to Uncle Liu's house.

Before she entered the door, she smelled a strong smell of chili peppers, Hua Manxi pushed open the door, and saw Uncle Liu sneezing while weighing chili peppers and giving money.

Uncle Liu's garden is almost full of chili peppers! The red and the green are spectacular!

"Manxi, you're here! This is spicy to me! Do you see this chili pepper is feasible? When Uncle Liu saw Hua Manxi coming, as if he had seen a savior, he hurriedly squeezed out the piles of chili peppers.

"The niece of the Hua family, my chili peppers are all good, the green ones are crisp, the red ones are spicy enough, you see-" Seeing this, an uncle understood that Hua Manxi was harvesting chili peppers, and hurriedly stepped forward to sell his own chili peppers.

"Niece of the Hua family, look at me, I have a large amount, I picked a full thirty catties!" Another aunt also began to lobby.

"I'm here, I'm here, I've got it in my land! The niece of the Hua family, look at it, these chili peppers are all very spicy. ”

"The niece of the Hua family, I can give you this chili pepper, but your chili sauce is made, can you send some to me, my baby is rare, I shout every day to go to your stall to eat wonton, just to eat that chili sauce." An aunt said again.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I want this chili, dried and raw, this chili sauce, I will start selling it in a few days, if you like it, you can buy it from the wonton stall." Hua Manxi said proudly.

Soon, Uncle Liu and Hua Manxi received two or three hundred catties of chili peppers.

"Manxi, so many chili peppers, can you sell them? I won't lose money. Although Uncle Liu is in favor of Huamanxi doing business, he is inevitably a little worried.

"It's a loss, didn't my eldest brother let you bring me a letter? In the academy alone, there are already dozens of people who want to buy it. Hua Manxi said confidently, "This chili pepper has to be bothered by my godfather to help me carry it to my yard, and tomorrow we will go out of town to order jars." ”

"Then we have to get up early, tomorrow we also have to buy some things, your eldest brother has negotiated this wedding date, that is, two months later, although after he got married, the new daughter-in-law must follow him to live in the academy, but this house must also be repaired and repaired, otherwise it will not look good when making wedding wine."

"Well, I'll come to you tomorrow morning." Hua Manxi was talking to Uncle Liu, and while loading all the peppers on the ground, "Godfather, do you still have a dustpan at home, I want to borrow some to use, I'm afraid there is not enough dustpan to dry so many peppers at home." ”

"Yes, yes." Uncle Liu turned around and went back to the house, took out several dustpans, and handed them to Hua Manxi.

The two of them worked hard for a long time, and then they picked up hundreds of catties of chili peppers back to the yard, and Hua Manxi cut off the leaves and stems of the chili peppers, washed them all, and dried them on a dustpan.

It's so busy that it's getting dark. Hua Manxi then remembered that he was patronizing and washing chili peppers, and he didn't even eat lunch.

It's time to make dinner, she has to cook a delicious meal tonight to treat herself, and call her godfather and godmother to come over to eat.

She stretched her waist and planned to go to Uncle Li's house to buy some food and come back, she was going to make a special meal today!

But after a while, Hua Manxi bought back some ingredients from Uncle Li's house, as well as a fat duck.

Uncle Li's family has a large group of ducks, all of which are alive and kicking, duck meat is slightly more chai than chicken, not tender enough, and duck eggs are not as tender and refreshing as eggs compared to eggs, so this duck is not as popular as chickens.

But this time, Hua Manxi specially bought a duck and planned to make a famous state banquet delicacy at home and abroad in modern times - Peking duck!

Speaking of Peking duck, there are two famous ways to cook, one is the hanging oven roasting method, the hanging stove has a furnace hole, there is no furnace door, with jujube wood, pear wood and other fruit trees as fuel, roasted over an open flame, when the fruit wood burns, smokeless, the bottom, the fire is prosperous, and it is accompanied by a fragrance of fruit wood, the appearance of the roasted duck is full, the color is jujube red, the skin layer is crispy, the outside is charred and the inside is tender, and the taste is very wonderful.

There is another cooking method, is the oven roasting method, the oven is a kind of hearth, the characteristics are the opposite of the hanging stove, this kind of oven roasting method, the duck does not see the open flame, it is completely made of the charcoal fire in the furnace and the hot furnace wall, the roast duck skin is bright and crispy, the meat is fresh and tender, and the taste is delicious.

This time, Hua Manxi chose to hang the stove to bake, as long as the pot on the stove is removed, it can be made into a simple oven, and it will be used.

She first killed the duck, cleaned it and then made a small opening under the duck wings to take out the internal organs, which was a test of the chef's skills, and it was absolutely impossible to take out the intact internal organs without three or five years of hard work.

Then it is to blanch the skin and hang the color, pour the duck body with sugar water boiling water several times, and then hang it in a cool and ventilated place to dry until the duck body is dry.

Taking advantage of this time, Hua Manxi picked up some fruit wood in the firewood room, the best one is jujube wood, fortunately, Uncle Hua also has this kind of fruit wood at home, she moved some firewood out, put it in the kitchen, and prepared to start a fire to roast duck.

Before the roast duck is put into the oven, Hua Manxi specially stuffed a section of the beam rod at the anus of the duck, and then poured eighty percent full of boiling water at the knife edge, the reason for this is to prevent the duck from roasting and frying outside, and the inside is not dry, after pouring water, you can make the duck roasted outside and cooked inside, cooked quickly, and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Hua Manxi lit a fire and hung the duck to roast it slowly until the whole duck was colored, and then the duck was taken out.

"Wow, what does this smell like, it smells so good! It smells so good! An unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded outside the courtyard door, with a three-foot swallowing sound.

"It must be my daughter who is making food again." The other voice was Uncle Liu's, "Manxi! Are you at home? I'm a godfather! ”

"Hey, just come in!" Hua Manxi carefully took the roast duck out of the stove and put it on a large basin to cool.

"Wow, this is your daughter, what kind of good thing is this, it's so fragrant, it's really fragrant!" Another tall man who came in with Uncle Liu kept inhaling and exclaiming.

"This is—" Hua Manxi wiped his hands with a rag and looked at his godfather with some consternation.

"Oh, Manxi, let me introduce you, this is the golden shopkeeper, the owner of the largest restaurant next door to Taoli Academy, Jinyutang Restaurant, this, he ate the chili sauce you gave to Boqing, saying that he wanted to talk to you about cooperation, so he asked Boqing for the address and found my house." Uncle Liu politely introduced.

"It turned out to be the golden shopkeeper." Hua Manxi thought about it in his heart, and knew the intention of the golden shopkeeper, but his face did not show it at all, and said politely, "The golden shopkeeper will go to the hall with my godfather to sit down first, I will cook, my aunt will come back for dinner soon." ”

In the past, if she had been out of the stall, she would have come back a long time ago, but today the godmother and aunt went out of the stall for the first time, and they didn't come back at all.

"You're busy, you're busy, girl, what are you doing—" The golden shopkeeper's eyes stared directly at the roast duck that Hua Manxi had placed on the wooden basin, his eyes lit up, and he almost didn't drool.
