Chapter 7 Mustard is a good thing
Hua Manxi breathed a sigh of relief, quickly changed his clothes and started cooking.
She first scooped up rice, lit the fire, boiled a large pot of gruel, stuffed firewood in the stove, and the porridge should be boiled slowly, taking advantage of this gap, she went to the vegetable garden to cut the leeks, washed the leeks, chopped them, beat three eggs, and stirred them with flour.
She plans to make a leek cake, although the fried leek cake is simple, the heat is very particular, the fire is big, the batter and eggs, easy to paste, the fire is small, the batter is not cooked.
Hua Manxi stirred a large pot of batter and fried a full twenty cakes, this cake is fragrant, salty and delicious, and eaten with gruel, which is delicious and full.
Finally, she took out part of the wild vegetables dug in the mountain, cleaned them, took them out after boiling water, mixed them with only salt and vegetable oil, and sprinkled some white sesame seeds to extract the fragrance, which was tender and delicious, and full of sweetness.
As soon as the meal was cooked, the uncle and they came back with a dark-skinned master.
"Manxi, this is Uncle Li, have you cooked well? Bring it up and let Uncle Li taste it. ”
"Okay. Uncle. "I think she Hua Manxi has also seen the world in her previous life, but for some reason, today she has the nervousness she felt when she went to the interview for the first internship.
This Uncle Li is related to his own fate, if he can't pay the money, maybe he really wants to marry that fool named Ding Erwa!
Hua Manxi thought like this, quickened his pace, and went to the earthen stove where the firewood was still warm, and brought all the meals he had prepared to the hall.
A pot of rice porridge boiled fragrantly, not thin or thick, water and rice blended, the leek cake still has temperature, but not piping hot, it is a good time to enter, the golden pie crust on both sides is wrapped in emerald green leeks, a strong leek taste mixed with the fragrance of noodles and eggs, coming to the nose, with a side of the cold wild vegetables, it can be regarded as a good meal in the flower family.
"Uncle Li, there is nothing good to entertain you at home, I just went up the mountain to dig this morning." Hua Manxi adjusted his breathing, showed a sincere smile, and said to Uncle Li beside Uncle Hua.
"Boss Hua, is this your niece?" Uncle Li glanced at Hua Manxi, and saw that she was thin and small, as if she could be blown down by a gust of wind, and her face was covered with black ointment, so she couldn't see it at all, no wonder the Ding family would quit her family.
is such a small village girl, how can she be worthy of Ding Xiucai? That Ding Xiucai is a dragon and phoenix among people, he looks very good, and has excellent knowledge, he won Xiucai at a young age, and his future is immeasurable! Maybe you can win the top prize in the future!
Uncle Li glanced at the food on the table again, although the food looked good, but he sank his face. I thought that no matter how poor this Hua family was, he invited him over for dinner so sincerely, begging him to accept apprentices, why did he kill a chicken or buy two catties of meat, but who knew that he actually made this cake and wild vegetables!
His Uncle Li is also a person with a head and face in this Peach Blossom Village, even the village chief has to be polite when he sees him, this flower family actually makes potted wild vegetables to entertain him, and wants him to accept a female baby as an apprentice?
"Boss Hua, what kind of rare thing is this wild vegetable, my old Li was poor when he was young, and he grew up eating this wild vegetable all day long, bitter and astringent, I have a bitter throat when I see this wild vegetable now, since you don't have any sincerity, my Lao Li can still afford this meal, and I leave!" He folded the sentence with a cold expression, turned and left.
"Uncle Li, although wild vegetables are not rare, they are fresh and sweet, this wild vegetables are definitely not bitter at all, you can give a face and taste it." Uncle Hua was ashamed of Uncle Li's words, and even the roots of his ears were red, but Hua Manxi reacted first, took the lead in stepping forward, stopped Uncle Li, and whispered.
"How old are you girl? My Lao Li eats more salt than you eat rice, and you put sugar on this wild vegetable, and I don't like to eat it. Old Uncle Li glared at Hua Manxi, and said in an arrogant tone, "You can eat by yourself, begging me to take more apprentices, and I'll go to another house to have a look." ”
He showed no mercy, opened the flower stream like a chicken, and walked to the door.
Hua Manxi still wanted to hold on and hurriedly chased after him, but before Old Uncle Li reached the door, the door was knocked open.
Before Hua Manxi could see who it was, she heard a tiresome cry.
"Big brother, I thought you were kind enough to give some meat to our mother and son to beat their teeth, but who would think that it was black-hearted! It's all stinky meat for us! It was her second aunt who was hungry for profit, and her voice was still crying with grievances.
"Brother-in-law! The kindness of the family, you don't know how to be grateful, and you even slander our family! What kind of heart are you? The eldest aunt also chased after him, and wanted to say a few good words to Uncle Li, but before he could speak, he was so angry that his face turned red by the words of the second aunt.
This time, the second aunt cried even more aggrieved.
"Uncle, the meat that Xiaobai and I ate at your place last night was very fragrant, but the meat that my mother took home was fishy and bitter, did my cousin give us the bad meat...... "Hua Sangsang lowered his head and whispered.
This happened to be heard by Hua Manxi.
Okay, although this little girl is a village girl, this palace fighting ability is leveraged, she doesn't dare to say Uncle Hua and her aunt, but she knows that this matter depends on her head.
"Manxi, although the second aunt didn't raise you, how can I say that she is also your aunt, how can you do this to the second aunt?" The second aunt wiped away another handful of tears and began to cry.
"I can't see that your little girl has a bad heart! No wonder the Ding family came to the door to withdraw from their relatives. Old Uncle Li listened to the words of the second aunt and Hua Sangsang beside him, and couldn't help frowning, and said sarcastically in a cold voice.
Hua Manxi didn't get angry, he raised his eyes directly and looked at the second aunt, and said word by word: "Second aunt, you misunderstood, I only took a little of the squid that my uncle brought back last night, and what I gave you was taken directly from the bag, how could it be bad?" You eat it and feel fishy and bitter, that is you will not do it, you take the meat, I will make it for you. ”
"I've already fed the chickens with that stinky meat!" Hua Sangsang glanced at her unconvinced, "You obviously just take the bad meat for us to eat!" They even said we wouldn't do it! ”
Hua Manxi was about to speak, but he didn't expect that Uncle Li, who had been standing on the side, suddenly spoke: "This girl is right this time, squid needs special treatment, if you are a person who can't do it, it must be fishy and bitter to make it, you girl baby, you haven't even been to the town, will you make squid?" ”
I actually doubt her cooking skills! Hua Manxi roared in his heart. Thinking about her previous life, what a beautiful scenery it was, and if you want to eat the meals made by her chef Hua, you still have to make an appointment a week in advance!
But now the situation is stronger than people, and I have to bow my head. Hua Manxi raised his head and looked at the old Uncle Li, and replied with a clear eye: "Uncle Li forgot, my mother is a cook in the house outside the town, my mother corresponds with me, and will teach me some ways to cook, this squid, there is a layer of black film on it, and it needs to be torn off finely when cleaning, otherwise the squid will be fishy and bitter, and the prawns also need to pick off the shrimp line to clean, and the big crab, the paste fat is beautiful, and steaming is the most delicious." ”
"Do you really know how to make squid?" When Uncle Li heard her say this, his originally disdainful gaze was a little inquisitive.
"She can do it, she made the squid for me last night, it's delicious!" When Uncle Hua saw that Uncle Li softened his attitude, he couldn't care about the injured lame leg, so he jumped up and ran up, and said in a low voice, "Old Li, I still have squid on the stove, I'll let Manxi fry a pot for you?" I thought that the owner said that it was not easy to sell, and he didn't dare to use it to entertain you. ”
"Yes, Uncle Li, since they are all here, let's sit down, and I'll make a pot of squid right away." Hua Manxi looked at Uncle Hua's groveling appearance, and felt very uncomfortable, and echoed in a low voice.
"I don't sit, if you want to be squid, then I'll watch you do it and see how capable you are." Old Uncle Li is also a more serious person, and said seriously.
"Okay, then please give me more advice." Hua Manxi said humbly.
The second aunt and Hua Sangsang were completely left aside, and when they saw that Hua Manxi was talking clearly, they were also a little curious, and followed to take a closer look.
Hua Manxi calmly took out a few fat girls' big squid from the bag and came to the well, and cleaned the squid carefully with the well water, skillfully and carefully, as if he had done it countless times, and saw that the old Uncle Li nodded frequently.
However, after Hua Manxi washed the squid, he did not stir-fry the vegetables directly on the stove, but took a thin square stone slab in the yard and washed the stone slab.
She took two more stones to build up the stone slabs, made a simple small stove, and then asked Hua Xiaosong to help and make a fire.
Hua Manxi took the oil and salt from the stove, stirred and kneaded the squid repeatedly with his hands, marinated it to taste, then poured some oil on the slate, and when the slate burned to a sizzling sound, he put the squid on the slate.
When the bright red slate touched the squid, it instantly emitted a rich and choking fragrance that wafted through the yard.
Hua Manxi used chopsticks to fry the squid on the slate repeatedly, until the squid was fully cooked, and then she sprinkled a little of the mustard she brought back from the mountain, stirred evenly, and then loaded the squid on the slate.
Uncle Li has long been aroused by this special fragrance, this smell is very special, smelling it up close, there is even a kind of pungent and spicy eyes, and he wants to cry, but for some reason, he has not had a good appetite these days, smelling this smell, and suddenly had the idea of wanting to feast.
Hua Manxi brought the squid to the table, and Uncle Li couldn't wait to put a piece in his mouth.
After chewing a few times, he was so spicy that tears came out, and his throat was full of fire, but the taste buds in his mouth seemed to be stimulated to all recover, and he couldn't help but stretch out his chopsticks to clip the second and third pieces-
