In addition to Li Qiuqiu, there are also light breezes and light clouds, and today they have to give Hua Manxi a hand and organize the Liu family's wedding banquet.
In addition to Uncle Zhao left to supervise the work, the group happily set off in a carriage, Danyun as the only single dog, naturally he was in a hurry, at this time the autumn color is just right, along the way many red maple leaves, there are many wild fruits hanging all over the branches, it is still early, the group came to the market in a noisy way.
Seafood, non-seasonal vegetables, Uncle Liu has sent a message to the shopkeeper of Jin Yutang a few days ago, asking him to help purchase them today, so there are still some meat and condiments left to buy, and there are ready-made vegetables in the seasonal vegetable village.
Hua Manxi can be regarded as a convenient thing for buying vegetables, bringing the menu, and picking vegetables, and quickly bought all the dishes.
After buying vegetables, I went to Jinyutang.
"Hua Xiao Shopkeeper, you can be regarded as showing up, our chili sauce is almost gone, you can hurry up and supply it, even if you raise some prices, it will not be a problem." The golden shopkeeper was very happy when he saw Hua Manxi, "Liu Ye's communication is done properly, there are only more, and there is no shortage of catties or two." ”
"That's good, thank you, Shopkeeper Kim." Hua Manxi politely thanked him, "How much silver are these dishes, you can calculate it, and I will give it to you." ”
"Ouch, it's just such a small dish, where do you need to give silver!" The golden shopkeeper said, "Your share of silver is still here with me, this more than a month, although the Buddha jumped over the wall is not as hot as at the beginning, but the five altars every day are full, some big families do longevity or something, I have to do it extra, calculated, you have more than 100 altars of silver here, I want to give it to you!" ”
As he spoke, he took out the account book for comparison, and gave Hua Manxi more than 500 taels of silver, this time he gave a silver ticket, Hua Manxi insisted on giving him the money for the dish, he refused again and again, but he couldn't resist Hua Manxi, so he accepted it.
After taking the ingredients from Jinyutang, a few people ate around the famous food stalls again, and then returned satisfied.
On the way back, Li Qiuqiu took out the balm again, unscrewed it, sniffed it vigorously, and then said to Hua Manxi: "Hua Xiaochu, look at this balm, is it different from what you use?" Same packaging, why do you buy a better balm than mine? ”
Xu Dashizi was eating a small snack given to him by Hua Manxi in the car, and when he heard this, he coughed violently and stuck the candied fruit in his throat.
"What's wrong? Stuck? Hua Manxi saw that he looked pained, and hurriedly stepped forward to pat him on the back to give him relief, and handed him the bamboo tube water he had brought with him.
Xu Jinfei drank the water, and then swallowed the candied fruit.
"I added something to this balm." After Xu Jinfei calmed down, he said slowly, "Uncle Zhao will prescribe such a prescription, you can let him prescribe it." ”
"I'll just say, I've been using this balm for so many years, how can I smell wrong?" Li Qiuqiu glanced at Hua Manxi proudly.
Hua Manxi was also speechless, silently opened the curtain, October is coming, the rice and wheat on the roadside are golden and yellow, and the harvest is about to be.
Whether it is the mountains or the fields, they are dyed with a layer of golden color, and it is spectacular to look at.
Soon returned to Uncle Liu's house, in addition to Hua Manxi, Uncle Liu also called a few other women with good relationships to help, and the chickens had been killed at this time.
The time was almost up, Hua Manxi first fried a few simple stir-fried dishes, and made a simple lunch for everyone, with fried meat with fungus, wild mushroom and chicken nugget soup, fried eggs with chives, and stir-fried vegetables.
After lunch, Hua Manxi rolled up his sleeves, put on his homemade apron, and began to make a banquet.
The light breeze and light clouds, as well as Xu Jinfei, all followed her example and planned to help.
Hua Manxi felt funny, and felt a little moved in his heart, aren't the men at this time all gentlemen cooking? Therefore, even though a master like Uncle Li earns a lot, people who know some words are unwilling to do it.
But moved is moved, since there are free helpers, it is impossible for Hua Manxi not to use it, directing them to chop the meat and peel the skin.
The first thing is to get the big meat right.
Buckle the meat and marinate it in large pieces, fry it in the pot, then remove it and let it cool, and then cut it into large pieces for later use.
The chicken has been cleaned, simmered in the pot, and also taken out to cool, waiting to be chopped.
The breeze knife is very good, Hua Manxi only showed him a chicken, and all the chickens in the back were cut by him, and the people who practice martial arts are strong, and the knife is clean and neat, and there is absolutely no broken skin.
First of all, there is the appetizer, fried peanuts and marinated kelp, which can be used to accompany the wine and let the guests have a few sips while waiting, followed by the soup, a pot of seafood soup called Quanjiafu, which is made from the chicken soup of braised chicken with dried sea cucumber, dried abalone, scallop and other seafood, and then put in yam, sweet corn and other stewed together, sweet and delicious.
Followed by the white chopped chicken and dipping sauce, then the steamed taro slices with buckle meat, honey and sauce barbecued pork are also marinated in advance, because it is to be roasted, so Hua Manxi specially asked Li Qiuqiu to take it back to Xufu to make it, because there is her own homemade earthen oven in the kitchen of Xufu.
After this fork is grilled, cut into pieces, and then poured a little prepared honey and juice, dip and eat, crispy skin, crispy inside, full of fresh fragrance.
Immediately followed by fried prawns, the prawns are removed from the lower line, the oil is boiled, the ginger and garlic chili peppers are stir-fried, the prawns are stir-fried until they change color, and then some cooking wine, soy sauce, pepper, seasoning, and finally the green and red pepper pieces are stir-fried, and the fried peppers are broken and discolored, and then they can be out of the pot.
The fried chicken wings are also marinated in advance, and the fat and thin pork belly is marinated, wrapped in lotus root, and then pasted with flour, and the chicken wings are fried first, and then the lotus root is fried.
The chicken wings are served directly while they are hot, but the lotus root clips still have to be mixed and simmered for a while.
This sauce is boiled by minced garlic, soy sauce, a little sugar, an appropriate amount of salt, etc., add lotus root and simmer for a while, fully absorb the flavor of the juice, and then reduce the juice from the pot. 】
Lily cold vegetarian dish is made up of blanched shredded carrots, shredded fungus, shredded shiitake mushrooms, fried shredded lean pork, etc. mixed into lily cold salad.
Finally, a cabbage in soup and a red date lotus seed soup, the wedding feast is completed.
"Lao Liu, are you inviting a restaurant master in the city? The name of this menu is very good, what is more than wings flying, round and jade, red, lingering, are all well-intentioned names! A good uncle said to Uncle Liu.
"Yes, Lao Liu is different from us mud legs, you see that the three sons of the family are all in the city, you old couple, this is going to be a blessing."
"Yes, look at this wedding banquet, how beautiful it is, how much silver? Behold, this table is not less than twenty taels of silver! ”
Uncle Liu was surrounded by compliments and congratulations, which was a smile on his eyebrows.
"Don't tell everyone, this is all my goddaughter, Manxi did it for me, and she did it all by herself." Uncle Liu said proudly.
"It turned out to be the niece of the Hua family? Tsk, this is not ordinary, when she apprenticed to Lao Li, Lao Li's daughter still didn't want her, I didn't expect her to cook so deliciously. ”
"This is not only delicious, but even the pot is beautiful, and it is almost up to the level of the restaurant!"
"Don't you know? The chili sauce she made was sold like crazy in the city, and I heard that she made a lot of money! ”
"Lao Liu is really blessed, he knows his goddaughter, and she is more filial than our daughter!"
In the midst of the envy and peace, a wail suddenly came: "Ah, poisonous, this dish is poisonous-"
As he spoke, the man foamed at the mouth, and then fell to the ground with a thud.
This person is none other than Ding Xiucai's father, Lao Ding.
"Ah, poisonous? Then we-" The villagers who ate the wedding banquet began to panic and denounced Uncle Liu, "Old Liu, do you want to poison us by marrying your daughter-in-law for the wedding banquet?" What a grudge we have against you! ”
"That's right! I can't see it! ”
The scene was chaotic, and Hua Manxi had just taken off his apron when he saw a commotion here.
She hurriedly squeezed forward and found Uncle Liu.
"What's going on? What's going on? "Uncle Liu is also in a hurry, if a good day kills someone, it will be unlucky for a lifetime! This is his son's marriage!
"Don't panic, everyone! Don't panic! Hua Manxi saw that people were in a mess, so he simply stood on the stool and stopped drinking!
"Everyone, stop! Don't panic! This dish is made by me, and I can guarantee that it is absolutely not poisonous! If you don't believe me, I'll eat it for everyone to see! She said, took the chopsticks in the eyes of everyone in disbelief, took a bite of each dish, and ate it in public for everyone to see.
"You've all eaten food, but do you feel unwell? This dish is absolutely non-toxic, as for what is going on with this old man, I have already sent someone to ask for a doctor, the Zhao housekeeper of the Xu Mansion has excellent medical skills, and he can save my uncle from the ghost gate, and when he comes, it will be clear, everyone should not approach that old man, lest he have some infectious disease! ”
As soon as Hua Manxi said this, everyone hurriedly jumped away from the old man.
The old man who pretended to be dizzy thought that if he fainted like this, someone would definitely come to help him, who would have thought that damn Hua Manxi would actually curse himself for having an infectious disease! The crowd did not even dare to come near.
He was angry in his heart, but he was pretending to be dizzy now, and he couldn't wake up rashly, so he could only wait and see what happened, and wait for his son to deal with it.
Qingfeng used light skills to invite Uncle Zhao, and Uncle Zhao came soon.
"What's going on?" Uncle Zhao looked at Hua Manxi standing in front of him, and a man was lying in front of him.
"This old man said that he was poisoned after eating my food and fainted, so let's see what's going on? So many people ate the food, only he was poisoned. Hua Manxi naturally recognized this person as Ding Xiucai's father, and added, "I don't think it's poisoning, or maybe it's some kind of serious disease." ”
