Chapter Ninety-Six: Qi Qi Helps Eat Chili Peppers

"Breakfast is ready, let's have breakfast." Hua Manxi and Li Qiuqiu set up the dishes and chopsticks, and Li Qiuqiu roared in the courtyard.

"It's been a long time since I've had a meal like this." Uncle Zhao looked at the table full of colorful and fragrant dishes, and returned to the extravagant days in Kyoto in a trance, and then looked at this impoverished house, which was really contrasting and made people cry.

Anyway, the house is almost almost there, as long as there is a mouthful of hot food to eat, he can endure it!

"It's so fragrant, it's so good, it's so happy!" Light Breeze and Light Cloud were also so excited that their eyes were slightly red, but their movements were unambiguous and picked up a bowl of seafood porridge and blew it cold.

"Ahem, ahem." Xu Dashizi shook a white fan painted with green bamboo, pretended to come over slowly, trying to establish the rules of the master in front of the new members, and said to Uncle Zhao with a handsome face, "What are you three like?" Before I, the master, came, you ate first? Do we still have any rules in Xufu? ”

Uncle Zhao was eating the potato cake with relish, and said vaguely: "If you come a little later, I will eat your share, this little chef is very thrifty, there is only one cake per person, and you are a match made in heavenβ€”β€”"

He didn't say the second half of the sentence very clearly because he swallowed quickly, but Xu Jinfei understood, Jun's face was slightly red, and he sat on a chair opposite Hua Manxi.

"Master Xu, come, this is your porridge, it's already cool." As soon as Xu Jinfei sat down, Li Qiuqiu handed over a bowl of chilled seafood porridge with a smile, "I already dried it when it came out of the pot." ”

Xu Jinfei subconsciously glanced at Hua Manxi, Hua Manxi suddenly froze his action of eating cakes, glanced at Uncle Zhao and Qingfeng Qingyun, who were eating happily, with some embarrassment, and asked cautiously: "Your cook, do you still want to serve you to eat?" ”

"Hua Xiaochu, don't care about him, what is he serving, when we were in the Northland before, he drank blood and did it, and he still served? Also, don't have any hope for your monthly silver, I have been with him for more than ten years, and I haven't seen a penny of monthly silver, you should eat and drink. Without waiting for Xu Jinfei to speak, Qingfeng said directly.

"Ahem! Ahem! Xu Dashizi suddenly felt disgraced, cleared his throat vigorously, and motioned to Qingfeng to shut up with his eyes.

"Wow, Ru Mao drinks blood, it's amazing! You guys, weren't you bandits before? Li Qiuqiu let out an exclamation, "No wonder you are so good?" ”

Xu Jinfei: "......" This little girl is not blind, he Xu Dashi is full of people, with outstanding temperament, noble manners, and elegant behavior, where is he contaminated with half of the temperament of a bandit?

"Ahem, ahem, we, we're just a down-and-out family that likes to travel, the girl thinks too much." Uncle Zhao was almost choked to death by Li Qiuqiu's words, and hurriedly took a sip of porridge to moisten his throat and explained.

"Miss Li, you have a heart, it's just about eating, Xu likes to do it yourself." Xu Jinfei put the bowl of porridge that Li Qiuqiu had put in front of him, put it back in front of Li Qiuqiu, calmly picked up the bowl and spoon, and elegantly scooped a bowl of porridge by himself.

Hot and delicious seafood porridge, sweet and delicious potato cakes, refreshing appetizers, and a breakfast that makes several people have round stomachs.

After the meal, Hua Manxi and Li Qiuqiu cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, killed the seafood in the pool, pickled it, and planned to make lunch later.

After finishing this, Hua Manxi and Li Qiuqiu dried their hands, planning to continue to go back to their yard to scoop peppers.

Just about to go out, I saw that Xu Gongzi was dressed in green bamboo clothes, shook the paper fan in his hand, and asked lightly, "You two, where are you going?" ”

Hua Manxi glanced at him meaninglessly: "Didn't you just say that it doesn't matter where I go?" ”

"No, no, I'm not caring about you, I just want to ask, is there anything you need help with?" Xu Jinfei smiled slightly, and his voice softened a little, "After all, now, we are also a family." ”

So he blatantly stole the soup pot in her house?

But after thinking about it, Hua Manxi replied: "There are indeed some things that I want your help with." ”

"Say." Xu Dashizi is very generous.

"It's just that I recently made up a business, selling chili sauce, my home is small, and there is a lot of strength to do, and our two girls don't have enough strength, so I really need your help."

"Then move it to me, you can use my hands, and share the profits." Lord Shizi's iron abacus is also crackling, anyway, except for Uncle Zhao, who is a little serious, Qingfeng and Light Cloud are too idle to doze off, just so that they can earn some money to subsidize the family.

"Okay, no problem!" Hua Manxi has always been a generous person, so he naturally agreed refreshingly.

Anyway, her chili sauce business is bigger, and she also wants to invite people, use their hands and skills neatly, and have martial arts as a foundation, one on top of two.

Both of them had their own plans, and the business was happily negotiated.

Half an hour later, Xu Shizi looked at the red, green and green chili peppers in the yard, the black clay pots, smelled the choking smell of chili peppers, his eyes were red, his nose was runny, and he fell into deep self-doubt.

Is this little village girl really making chili sauce? Not making smoke bombs? None of the smoke bombs he had ever received on the battlefield were so powerful!

"Childe, you, you room full of chili peppers, what are you trying to make a fuss? I'm going to lose my nose! I can't smell the medicine, Ah! Ahh "Uncle Zhao is also in tears.

Chasing girls so hard, his son-in-law can be regarded as the first person in the entire Nanyang!

"Ah, bear with me, she promised to share my silver, anyway, Qingfeng and Light Cloud are idle-" Xu Dashizi said as he looked at the two first-class secret guards who were struggling to scoop chili peppers in the courtyard.

"Ahh Childe, your abacus, it's just that, the old man is convinced, the old man is convinced. Uncle Zhao really couldn't stand the spicy taste, and felt that he had better go to the back mountain to supervise the work.

"Well, if you have time, go and see if there is anyone who can help, and then this son will cheat her a few taels of silver to offset the cook's monthly money." Even though a certain son is so spicy that he doubts life, he still doesn't forget to make calculations.

"Hey, Uncle Zhao, where are the people?" It's just that when he turned around, Uncle Zhao, who was standing behind him, had long since disappeared-

Besides, after Hua Manxi and Li Qiuqiu moved all the household items that made chili sauce to Xufu, they felt that they were getting more and more energetic, after all, the place was big, the tools were complete, and there were people to do the hard work.

The matter of chopping meat is handed over to Qingfeng, and his knife technique is simply superb, and chopping up dozens of catties of meat is as simple as chopping green onions.

Although it was a little spicy at first, as a first-class secret guard of the first-class national mansion, he had never seen any smoke poison, could he still be intimidated by this little chili pepper smell?

Half an hour later, Hua Manxi looked at the neatly stacked chickens, pork, grains, beef, grains, and chili flakes, and then deeply realized what it means to get twice the result with half the effort!

"The two eldest brothers have worked hard, and when we eat, I'll add chicken legs to you!" Hua Manxi said very happily.

It's so much easier! It's so hassle-free! This chicken leg has to pay for the two of them plus! Hua Manxi is determined!

Hua Manxi brought the ingredients into the house and began to fry the chili peppers.

Three flavors of chili sauce, stir-fry for a while. Hua Manxi put the chili sauce in a large pot to dry, planning to pack it after eating lunch, and then borrow a carriage from Xufu to send it to the town to Jinyutang, and by the way, see how the Buddha jumped over the wall and sold it today.

When the last chili sauce was fried just now, Hua Manxi was afraid that he wouldn't be able to make lunch in time, so he had already asked Li Qiuqiu to wash the vegetables, and the two worked together and cooperated very tacitly.

"Qiuqiu, when I send out the moon silver, I will share half of it, and when my construction period is up in the future, you will also learn cooking, and you can be a cook in Xufu for a long time." Hua Manxi felt that she was very thoughtful.

"How can it, if you really want to give me silver, just give some at will, how can I ask you for half, besides, I am not rare to be a cook in Xu Mansion for a lifetime, if you want to do it, you can be their young lady!"

Hua Manxi was drinking water and almost squirted out!

Well, yes, this little girl's goal is very clear and firm! It's so much better than her coward!

"Hurry up and cook, delay the meal time, be careful that Xu Gongzi deducts your moon silver!" Li Qiuqiu had long been accustomed to Hua Manxi's shock, and began to chop vegetables.

Hua Manxi planned to make four dishes and one soup at noon, and the rice had been washed and put into the pot to steam.

The soup is a duck soup with lotus root, and the four dishes are salt and pepper prawns, stir-fried squid, braised pig's trotters with peanuts, and a dish of hot and sour shredded potatoes.

The weather is very hot, and then make a dessert, red dates, lotus seeds, white fungus soup.

The duck Li Qiuqiu has already been killed, Hua Manxi is cut into large pieces, pot under cold water, blanch the duck in blood water, and then fish out the cold water, which will make the duck meat firmer.

Take a casserole, put in duck meat, cooking wine, ginger slices, boil over high heat, then put in the cut lotus root pieces, put some red dates, lotus seeds, cover the lid and simmer over low heat.

The old duck meat has tenacity, and it needs to be stewed soft and rotten before it is not firewood, and this lotus root and duck are all things that clear the fire, especially suitable for drinking in this weather.

The soup is stewed on the pot, Hua Manxi then begins to stew the pig's trotters, clean the pig's trotters, cut them into large pieces, blanch them to remove the fish, put them in a casserole, ginger slices, garlic slices, green onion knots, a piece of cinnamon, a little sugar, an appropriate amount of salt, soy sauce, and then put the washed peanuts in and simmer them together.

Salt and pepper shrimp, after simply oiling, add ginger, garlic and pepper, a little chili pepper and stir-fry, before cooking, add soy sauce and salt to taste.

Stir-fry the squid, blanch the squid, remove it for later use, add ginger, garlic and pepper and stir-fry until fragrant, then add green and red peppers, a little onion pieces and fry them until they are green, and then add the squid pieces and stir-fry them together, soy sauce, a little sugar to taste, mix evenly and then get out of the pot.
