It was getting late, and the family hadn't cooked dinner yet, so Hua Manxi asked her aunt to boil a pot of white porridge, and she had a lot of fish leftover from frying the fish, and she planned to pick a few eggplants to stew the fish to send the white porridge.

The bacon at home has to be turned over again, marinated for a few days, and will be skewered and dried tomorrow.

The meat and bones are almost finished, and the rest of the family is fine ribs, Hua Manxi is a little greedy, and after earning silver, he decided to be extravagant, and wrapped the marinated and flavored fine steak with some powder, fried it in the pot, and made it into fried ribs.

fried a large basket of pork ribs, and the tangy fragrance hooked Hua Xiaosong almost drooling. However, Hua Manxi didn't give him food, and was still licking the pepper, saying that it would be delicious if it was sprinkled on it.

In the end, sure enough, the pork ribs that had just come out of the pot were sprinkled with a little pepper, slightly spicy, slightly salty, crispy and crispy, and Hua Xiaosong ate three pieces at once.

"Sister, there are no bones left at home, will you still sell noodles tomorrow?" Hua Xiaosong finally licked his fingers and asked.

"Selling noodles, if you don't sell noodles, do you sell rice? It's not cost-effective to sell rice, and rice is too expensive. Hua Manxi said carefully, "You don't have to have bone broth to sell noodles, and there are some noodles that don't need stock, such as fried noodles, oily noodles, and cold noodles——"

Speaking of which, Hua Manxi had an idea, by the way, I will make fried noodles tomorrow.

Jajanjang noodles, the essence is on the jajang sauce, good jajang noodles, spicy and delicious, the sauce is delicious, but now there is no sweet noodle sauce, and there is no soybean sauce, and the result may be a little worse.

The fried sauce is full, and you also need a dish code, generally cucumber, toon, bean sprouts, green beans, soybeans, green garlic, shredded radish, diced celery, diced lettuce, all kinds of dishes, choose according to taste.

Thinking of this, Hua Manxi felt that she had a faint urge to drool.

It's just that there are not many vegetables at home, and she has been tossed a lot by herself in the past two days, she thought about it for a while, then took out a big bowl, filled some fried fine steaks, and went to the house of the village chief Uncle Liu.

"Aunt Liu, Uncle Liu!" Hua Manxi came to the door, the door was not closed, but she did not go in either, she stood at the door and shouted twice.

"Hey, it's Manxi." Aunt Liu was picking vegetables in the yard, and came out with a few green onions in her hand, and when she saw that it was Hua Manxi, she asked affectionately, "Have you eaten?" If you don't eat it, stay and eat it, I'll pluck two green onions and eat an omelette. ”

"No need, Aunt Liu, I took the water from your field today, and brought you some food, this is my freshly fried small ribs, it's still hot, you can eat it while it's hot." Hua Manxi removed the bowl that was covered, revealing a bowl full of fried ribs.

"This, how embarrassing is this, I'm here, isn't it normal to borrow some water?" Hua Manxi's move made Aunt Liu more and more ashamed, and she didn't dare to reach out to pick up the bowl in her hand if she said anything.

"Ouch, Aunt Liu, this meat will be bad if it is left for a long time, and thanks to Uncle Liu, otherwise I won't be able to return the pig, just a few pieces of meat, you can take it and eat it quickly." Hua Manxi said sincerely.

"This, didn't you invite him to dinner on the day you killed the pig? He will come and praise you for your good cooking skills, saying that I have cooked for most of my life, and I am not as good as you little girl. Aunt Liu looked at the bowl in Hua Manxi's hand, the pork ribs were fried golden and crispy, and the aroma was tangy, which really aroused people's appetite.

"Then you taste it, isn't it that good? Uncle Liu praised it falsely. Hua Manxi took the opportunity to stuff the bowl into her hand.

"Ouch, Manxi, I'm embarrassed that you're like this, really, it's so polite." Aunt Liu's face was a little red.

"Aunt Liu, in fact, I have something to do this time, it's like this, I see that the vegetables in your vegetable field are very good, can you sell some to me?" Hua Manxi lowered her eyebrows and chuckled and asked.

"What do you say to sell? There are so many dishes that the two of us can't finish them, what do you want? Take it off, there is a basket there! Aunt Liu put the pork rib bowl on the stone table in the courtyard, picked up a basket and went to the vegetable field next to it.

"This cucumber, eggplant, turnip, what do you want? How much? Aunt Liu was afraid that Hua Manxi would not want it, so she just twisted it and put a few cucumbers in the basket.

"I want cucumbers, carrots, garlic sprouts, green onions, and cabbage." Hua Manxi made up his mind to give money, and he was not polite.

"Take it." After a while, Aunt Liu picked a basket full of flowers and put it at the foot of Huamanxi.

"Aunt Liu, look at this, can I give you two cents?" Hua Manxi took out his purse.

Meat is expensive in the village, but vegetables are everywhere, so the price of vegetables can't go up, but when you go to the city or town, the price of vegetables will be a little more expensive.

"What kind of money is this dish, if you don't have it, just come to Aunt Liu's house to pick it." Aunt Liu said proudly.

"No, no, if I pick it for myself, I don't have to give money, but I pick it and I want to sell it, I sell noodles in the village, does Aunt Liu know? I'm doing business, and I can't afford not to give money. Hua Manxi looked serious, took out two pennies and put them in the palm of Aunt Liu's hand.

"Then I'll go back first. Aunt Liu. I'll give you back this basket tomorrow. Hua Manxi didn't wait for Aunt Liu to refuse, and left with the dishes.

"Hey, hey, Manxi, you kid!" Aunt Liu chased out, Hua Manxi had already run away, but collided with Uncle Liu who came back from the ground.

"What are you doing, you old woman is reckless!" Uncle Liu scolded lightly, "I'm covered in mud!" ”

"Hey, you old man, it's really in the way, the niece of the Hua family, it's Manxi, I came here to pick some vegetables, I have to give two cents, today in the field, the second lady of the flower blocked the canal, she took a little water from our field, and brought a big bowl of meat! Really! ”

Aunt Liu glanced a few times, it was already dark, Hua Manxi was walking fast, and there was no one in sight.

"How can this work? It's too polite and too outward! I helped her find the pig that day, and I also invited us to a meal! Uncle Liu frowned and said, "That's it, isn't she asking for food?" When you're free, pick some vegetables from home and give them to her. ”

"I'm afraid people still have to give money, really." Aunt Liu said angrily, "Hurry up and wash your hands and eat, Manxi sent a big bowl of meat, which is fragrant." ”

"Really, this girl's craftsmanship is really speechless, it's a pity, Lao Li, that stupid old man, listened to the foolish old man of Ding Xiucai and Li Zheng, and missed such a good seedling." As soon as Uncle Liu heard that Hua Manxi had sent vegetables, his saliva was about to come down, so he hurriedly went to the well to wash his hands and entered the house.

However, when the old couple was setting up the dishes and chopsticks to eat, another uninvited guest came. It was Uncle Li who complained about Uncle Liu just now.

"Yo, what kind of wind is this that blows you here today?" Uncle Liu was taking out half a bottle of liquor from the cabinet and shook it, "It's just in time, let's drink two glasses." ”

"Ouch, it's time for you to eat?" Uncle Li was not polite, sat down, and Aunt Liu hurriedly put an extra pair of chopsticks.

Uncle Li glanced at the table, a big bowl full of fried short ribs, and he could smell it from afar, as well as a small plate of peanuts and a plate of fried cabbage, just drinking.

He took a sip of white wine, sandwiched a small piece of pork ribs, and praised it: "This pork ribs are fried crispy, not old at all, and stained with pepper, it has a different flavor, Liu Laoliu, when did you learn this craft?" ”

"What am I stealing? This was sent by the niece of the Hua family, saying that she borrowed water from my field today and specially sent a bowl of meat. Uncle Liu ate his mouth full of oil and said vaguely.

"Manxi sent it?" When Uncle Li mentioned this, he caught up with his heart for a while, put down his chopsticks, and took another sip of wine, "This child is a sensible and good boy, but it's a pity, if it weren't for my daughter's ignorance and fooling around, they would all be my apprentices now." ”

"Tsk, you too, you are in charge, why are you messing around with a little girl?" Liu Lao Liu sandwiched two peanuts, felt that this wine was very energetic to drink, and he talked more.

"Hey, Lao Liu Liu, you are smiling and wearing a hat with an umbrella, you three boys, your speech is naturally loud, I have three girls, and I have married two, I am counting on this little one to recruit a son-in-law, naturally it hurts a little more."

"What do you want to do so much, kick your legs, what do you know? Drink and drink, don't get drunk and don't go home. "Uncle Liu is full of old Uncle Li again.

"Manxi is really a poor child, my father didn't, my mother didn't hurt, and I suffered such a trip, I heard that the Ding family quit the family, and the five taels of the family gift are a lot to come back, the flower family in order to make up this silver, the pig was supposed to be sold, and was stolen by Wang Dazhuang and died, the girl, now go to the village every day to sell noodles, is in a hurry to earn money to pay back the Ding family's money."

Aunt Liu sighed: "If she had been your assistant cook that day, it would have been better to earn more money, I saw that the flower boss went to Qin Dalang's house every night to buy flour, and she must have been afraid that she would buy too much at once, and she would not be able to sell it, so she bought it little by little every day." ”

After hearing this, Uncle Li felt more and more pity, and drank a few sips of stuffy wine before leaving.

When he returned to his home, he was already a little drunk, Li Qiuqiu was drinking soup, and when he saw that he would come, he didn't get up and pull a stool but frowned and said: "Mother, this soup is a little salty, you have been with you and my father for more than 20 years, how can you cook a soup can't cook it well?" ”

"Ouch, didn't your father say that cooking requires talent, where do I have such talent, as long as I can eat."

Aunt Li brought all the dishes, approached Uncle Li, smelled the smell of wine, frowned, and said, "Why are you drinking again?" ”

"At Liu Laoliu's house, I drank a little." Uncle Li sat down, thinking of Aunt Liu's words, he felt a little annoyed, looked at Li Qiuqiu, who was drinking soup on the side, and knocked on the side, "Lao Liu just asked me, asked me how the apprentice was, these days, my waist is getting worse and worse, and my wrist often hurts, I don't know how many years I can do it." ”

"Isn't there me? Dad, if you don't do it, won't you have me? Li Qiuqiu ate the vegetables indifferently.

"Hey, you want me to tell you a few times, it's not so fun to be in charge, and your talent is mediocre, so you can't do this job well." Uncle Li said helplessly.

"And who are you looking for? The ugly eight weird ones of the flower family? Li Qiuqiu slapped the chopsticks on the table in displeasure, "I'll tell you, Dad, if you look for her, I'm not happy at first!" ”

"I'm looking for her? People are still not happy, they are now selling noodles in the village, and they earn no less than me in a day! Uncle Li knew that this was the result, snorted coldly, stopped eating, and stood up directly and walked to the room.

However, Li Qiuqiu's eyes behind him were a little darker, evoking a calculating smile.
