"That's natural, I'll help clean it up." Lin Fengxuan was in front of outsiders, so she had to pretend to be a seizure, so she had to clean up the dishes and chopsticks as she said.

She is a very noble young lady, where has she done such a job, those dishes are full of grease stains, she forcibly endured the nausea, pretending to be skillful to clean up.

But the character can be pretended, but the work can't be pretended, and after a while, several dishes were broken crackling.

Those uncles looked at it and shook their heads, but Hua Manxi was secretly laughing.

Lin Fengxuan was afraid of losing face, so she hurriedly cleaned up, but accidentally scratched her hand, for the sake of face, she didn't dare to shout, so she could only put away the dishes and chopsticks on the table aggrievedly, and returned to the kitchen before she was furious.

But what Hua Manxi said was not false, she rewarded a bag of silver just now, and the people in the kitchen went out to drink tea, Lin Fengxuan couldn't find anyone who was angry, so she could only sprinkle her anger on her personal maids, Those maids are also pampered on weekdays, only doing some grooming things, where did they do rough work like washing dishes, while washing the dishes with tears, they had to be scolded by Lin Fengxuan, which was really worse.

By the time the three maids had finished washing the dishes, an hour had passed! Lin Fengxuan was so angry that she went to Hua Manxi's yard to settle accounts with Hua Manxi.

However, she ate a closed door!

"Huamanxi people! Where is she! Lin Fengxuan gritted her teeth and rushed to Lin Zhicheng's courtyard, shouting.

"The Zhenguo Mansion made a post, saying that she was asked to help cook and entertain guests." Lin Zhicheng replied.

"What! Zhenguo Mansion? Do they know about the swap? Lin Fengxuan was pleasantly surprised.

"I don't know yet, this is recommended by the county lord of Yunhua to the Zhenguo Gong, but it's good to let her go over there more, and if she changes her relatives at that time, the Zhenguo Mansion will not make trouble with her life." Lin Zhicheng drank a cup of tea and said.

"Dad, are you afraid that the Zhenguo Mansion will annoy us about the change of parents? What if it's the fault of the Zhenguo Mansion? Lin Fengxuan was annoyed, and suddenly had an idea and asked.

"Xuan'er, what do you have in mind?" Lin Zhicheng's eyes lit up and asked.

Lin Fengxuan's eyes flashed with an inevitable smile, and said, "I do have a good idea, so that Zhen Guohou and Hua Manxi will naturally become this family business, and I will not be blamed by Your Majesty-"

Hua Manxi didn't know that he had been targeted by Lin Fengxuan and was on his way to the Zhenguo Mansion.

She didn't want to help with this, but when she thought of her deal with Mrs. Lin, maybe she really wanted to marry him, so this time, no matter what, she had to find out the true face of Xu Heng!

She must find out if he is her Xu Gongzi!

Hua Manxi pondered, and the carriage soon came to the Zhenguo Mansion.

She handed the post in her hand to the porter, and after a while, Xu Yang personally came out to greet her.

Xu Yang has always been cold-eyed, but this time with a strange smile, he said very politely: "Chef Hua is here, uh, no, I should change my name to Miss Lin." ”

Hua Manxi's face was still cold, he nodded, and said in a casual tone: "You're polite, although you are on the family tree, you still use your original name to the outside world." ”

"Okay, Chef Hua, please come here, this is the first time our family has had a banquet since he came back, and I ask Chef Hua to thank you for your attention." Xu Yang led Hua Manxi to Xu Heng's yard.

Hua Manxi didn't go directly to the kitchen this time like last time, and followed Xu Yang to Xu Heng's yard. Xu Heng was not in the yard, but was fishing on the lotus pond last time, and seemed to be in a good mood.

"Master Hou, Chef Hua has arrived." Xu Yang stepped forward and wrapped Xu Heng in a cloak and said in a low voice.

Xu Heng nodded, raised his finger at Xu Yang, made a shushing motion, and said in a low voice: "Be quiet, don't make me fish." After he said that, his eyes looked at Hua Manxi lightly, raised a slight smile, and still lowered his voice and said, "You come here, sit down." ”

Hua Manxi glanced at him unhappily, and said lightly: "If Master Hou is fine, I will go to the kitchen to look at the menu." ”

"Something, I heard that Chef Hua is very good at making fish, so I specially caught the grass carp and carp that have been raised in the lotus pond for a long time, and let Chef Hua cook a delicious meal." Xu Heng said casually.

"Then what if the Hou Ye can't catch it? The feast still can't be opened? Hua Manxi asked.

"How can you not catch it? As soon as Chef Hua sat down, the fish was quickly hooked. Xu Heng is serious.

Hua Manxi glanced at him again, but Yiyan sat down, as soon as she sat down, Xu Heng handed her another handful of melon seeds, Hua Manxi naturally took it and put it on her lips and knocked it up.

However, she only knocked a melon seed, Xu Heng's fishing line moved, and he slowly pulled the fishing line back with skillful and easy attitude, and pulled out a big fish weighing four or five catties.

He removed the hook and threw the fish into a large barrel beside him, and the fish was bouncing and ferocious.

Hua Manxi continued to knock the melon seeds, knocked two more, and the fishing line moved again.

Xu Heng was still expressionless, and quickly pulled up a bigger fish than the one just now.

Hua Manxi showed a faint look of admiration.

After Xu Heng threw the fish into the barrel, he continued to throw the bait, but after a while, he pulled up the fish again, This time, he actually pulled up two!

Hua Manxi: "....... how many fish are raised in this lotus pond!"

The corner of Xu Heng's eyes had actually been paying attention to Hua Manxi's expression, and seeing her slowly revealing a look of amazement, she was naturally proud in her heart, and continued to catch all kinds of big fish one after another, and soon a bucket was piled up.

"Someone, fetch another barrel." Xu Heng commanded.

"That, Master Hou, this bucket of fish can already entertain dozens of people, don't you prepare other ingredients?" Hua Manxi didn't want to sit here and watch him fish anymore, it was a little interesting to watch at first, but this person was fishing as if she had reached out and fished it out, there was no suspense, and she yawned when she looked at it.

"Yes, I didn't prepare other ingredients, so I invited them to eat fish for this small feast." Xu Heng said honestly.

"Even if it's just eating fish, that's enough, I'm tired of the Hou Ye sending someone to bring the fish to the kitchen, I'm going to prepare dinner." Hua Manxi yawned.

"Xu Yang, you move the fish to the kitchen and send a few people to Chef Hua." Xu Heng nodded and said as he said.

Hua Manxi always felt that this town seemed to be particularly easy to talk and in a particularly good mood today, and even his eyes were a little softer than usual, and his eyes were a little awkward when he looked at her-

Anyway, it felt weird, and she couldn't tell what was wrong—

Forget it, let's make the meal first.

Hua Manxi suppressed the thoughts in his heart and came to the kitchen, Xu Yang had already moved the fish bucket over, and pulled out a few more people for her, the subordinates of the Zhenguo Mansion were very respectful to her, completely different from those subordinates of the Lin Mansion, if they wanted to summon them, they also needed to bribe.

From this point of view, the rules of this town must be very strict.

"These two little brothers, you can kill all these fish for me first, and then clean them." Hua Manxi said.

If you talk about making fish, there are many ways to do this, steamed fish, braised fish, sweet and sour carp, sauerkraut fish, boiled fish, grilled live fish, grilled fish, fried fish pieces, etc.

Hua Manxi looked around the kitchen, except for some necessary ingredients and ingredients, this town really didn't prepare other dishes!

Do you really want people to eat this bucket of fish? It's also a strange thing, it's the first time she's seen such a banquet in the days she has been in Kyoto.

But since people invite themselves to cook, then they just need to do the dishes well, and what ingredients the host uses at home doesn't matter to her.

Hua Manxi pondered for a while, and decided to make a boiled fish, the boiled fish tastes tender, oily but not greasy, red and bright and eye-catching, spicy but not dry, numb but not bitter, and has the reputation of being numb, spicy and enjoyable, which is very suitable for the cool weather in this late spring.

Moreover, most of the fish caught by Xu Heng are grass carp, which is most suitable for boiling fish.

After the fish was killed, Hua Manxi cut off the head and tail of the fish, divided them into two halves, took out the bones, sliced the remaining fish into fillets, and then asked the helping cook to cut the other fish in this way.

Next, you need to marinate the fish, add a little egg white, salt, starch, cooking wine, and mix well.

Heat the oil, add the peppercorns and peppers, fry slowly over low heat, and after the peppers change color, remove half of the oil and peppercorns and put them aside for later use.

Leave half of the pepper and chili pepper in the pot, add ginger and garlic, burst the fragrance, put in the fish head, tail and fish bones and stir-fry, then add water, cooking wine, salt, and boil the fish bone broth.

Once the fish broth is boiling, quickly sandwich the marinated fish fillets into the boiling fish broth in a pot and sprinkle some pepper to taste.

In the casserole for the fish, the vegetables that have been blanched have been stacked, including bean sprouts, lettuce, potato chips, tofu skin, etc., Hua Manxi poured the boiled boiled fish into the jar, and then poured the half of the pepper oil that was just fished out.

With the sound of stinging, stinging, the whole kitchen was filled with a strong and choking spicy smell, and a lively and fragrant boiled fish fillet was ready.

Hua Manxi deliberately chose a wide casserole to hold the fish, which can keep warm and will not get the oil out, which is very proper.

After tasting the taste, she thought it was good, so she concocted it in the same way, and made all the remaining grass carp, which was enough to make more than a dozen pots of boiled fish.

After the dishes were cooked, she asked her subordinates to tell Xu Heng, and when she was idle, she saw a lot of loquat in the yard.

The loquat fruit is very sour, even if it is ripe, it is still difficult to hide the sour taste, and it is very unpopular in the house, and after she asked the steward, she asked the steward to have these loquat all picked and brought to the kitchen.
