Chapter 158: Hot and sour noodles and glutinous rice balls
The two of them were getting tired of it, and the terrifying deadly knock on the door sounded again.
"Manxi, it's time to get up, after all, it's someone else's cook, you have to have rules, why don't you get up and prepare breakfast for the master's family?" It's her mother again.
Hua Manxi looked at Xu Jinfei with wide eyes, and his eyes were full of meaning, what should he do?
But Xu Shizi didn't think it was a big deal, so he turned over and pressed him at this time, and then kissed her on the lips in Hua Manxi's extreme panic and nervousness.
"Hmm-" Hua Manxi only felt that he was going to finish playing, and pushed him hard, but Xu Jinfei looked thin, but his body was strong, and the push revealed the wheat-colored solid skin under his nightgown, and every inch of the texture was full of strength and heat.
Hua Manxi was ashamed and anxious, staring at him with wide eyes.
"Manxi, are you awake? Did you hear what my mother said? Although Xu Gongzi doesn't care, he still has to look like a subordinate to be a subordinate. Hua Lan Xiang chattered.
Xu Jinfei slowly let go of her lips, but he didn't move his body, still looking at her with heavy eyes.
Hua Manxi made a gesture of wanting to beat him, and said in a pinched tone: "I know Mother, I'll get up immediately, by the way, it's very cold, can you go to the kitchen and start a fire first?" I'm afraid of the cold. β
"Okay, I'll go to the fire first, you get up and cook quickly." Hua Lanxiang repeated another sentence, and then followed the footsteps to the kitchen.
Hua Manxi finally breathed a sigh of relief, glared at Xu Jinfei viciously, lowered his voice and scolded: "I'll lock the window tonight!" β
Xu Jinfei was not annoyed, and said in a low voice: "Then I can only enter through the door." β
Hua Manxi twisted him and urged, "You still don't leave?" β
Xu Jinfei saw that she was really angry, so he straightened his clothes and jumped out of the window.
Hua Manxi reluctantly closed the window, changed his clothes again, pulled up his hair, and then went to the kitchen.
Hua Lanxiang has indeed started a fire, the fire is burning very strong, and the whole kitchen is warm.
"What are you going to eat today?" Hua Lanxiang saw Hua Manxi yawning over, and asked, "What do you want to prepare, you tell your mother, I will help you prepare, this cold day, you don't want to hurt your hands." β
"I'm not a young lady, how can I not hurt my hands as a cook?" Hua Manxi didn't care, and said to himself, "It's cold, make a hot and sour noodle, eat warm, and make a few sweet glutinous rice balls." β
Hua Manxi said, the vermicelli was dried before Hua Manxi went to the city, she took some out, cleaned it, and then started to make it.
Authentic hot and sour noodles, the vermicelli needs to be soft and tough, soft and strong, the appearance is crystal clear, the taste is spicy and sour, oily but not greasy, spicy but not bitter, spicy but not dry, fresh and pure, sour but not spasmodic, fragrant and thick.
Hua Manxi put the sweet potato flour in boiling water and boiled it until it was nine ripe, then took it out and drained it, stirred in some sesame oil and relaxed.
Then, take out some fungus and blanch it, tear it into small flowers, cut the coriander, green and red peppers, garlic, mix in aged vinegar, soy sauce, salt, sugar, chili red oil, etc., mix it into a sour soup, put the sweet potato powder into it and stir evenly, and then sprinkle with chopped green onions and fried peanuts, capers, carobs, sour radishes and other seasonings.
After the hot and sour noodles are done, Hua Lanxiang has kneaded the dough to make glutinous rice balls according to her meaning, this dough is made of glutinous rice flour, Cheng flour, and kneaded with milk, Hua Lanxiang cut the dough into the same size, and rolled it into a fine skin with a rolling pin, Hua Manxi made white sugar and sesame paste, as well as white sugar peanuts, as well as white sugar and sweet potato puree, red bean paste and other fillings, all kinds of fillings are wrapped in some, and then steamed in the pot and let it cool.
The glutinous rice balls are sweet on the inside, soft and glutinous on the outside, and very delicious.
Everyone was in a good mood after eating breakfast, especially the light breeze and light clouds, and finally found that feeling of home and ate two large bowls of hot and sour noodles.
Pity Uncle Zhao, because he injured his waist from falling, people who drink medicine should avoid eating sour and spicy, so he can only boil some white porridge for him to eat at will.
This can be regarded as an unexpected joy, Uncle Zhao didn't expect that although he didn't leave a perfect image in front of Hua Lanxiang, he had no intention of inserting willows and willows into the shade, and got the opportunity to let Lanxiang take care of it.
"Sister of the Hua family, why don't you see that girl in Manxi making some delicious food, my old man?" Uncle Zhao snorted, looking at the white porridge was very unappetizing, "I was already miserable enough to drink the medicine, and it was really unreasonable to let me eat white porridge!" β
"I ate hot and sour noodles and glutinous rice balls this morning, you can't eat hot and sour, glutinous rice is also hair, how do you eat it? This white porridge is still something I think you don't have to care about Gu Cai to bring to you to eat, Manxi has long been called to the mountains by your Xu Gongzi, saying that he is hunting and making New Year's goods! On a snowy day, what kind of hunting, really! Hua Lanxiang was left behind by a group of them to come to see the house, and the boss was unhappy in her heart, and she was afraid that Xu Gongzi would do something bad with Hua Manxi, so she called Da Yang and Xiao Song to follow them.
Uncle Zhao grinned in his heart, naturally understood the intention of the prince, and hurriedly sighed: "Hunting on a snowy day is the most fun, the prey in winter is very hungry, but it is easy to fight, pity me for hurting my waist, otherwise I will be able to hunt a few wild boars back." β
Hua Lanxiang looked at Uncle Zhao, and couldn't help but sneer, and said, "Just like you, you can fall off a horse, you can fight wild boars, don't laugh to death." β
Uncle Zhao was not angry, but showed a smile that he thought was handsome and mature, and said lightly: "Then you underestimate the old man, I think back then, I was a good hunter in the northland, what roe deer, deer, wild boar, hares, even leopards, foxes, what have I not hunted?" Especially the venison, beaten down, freshly grilled and eaten, it is the most delicious, delicious and flexible, sweet in the mouth, and has an endless aftertasteββ"
As soon as Uncle Zhao started talking, he couldn't stop talking, and told all the interesting stories about when he was in Shimen, he went hunting with his senior brothers.
Hua Lanxiang has been working in the Sun Mansion except for Peach Blossom Village, and has never been to any other place except for being taken out by Sun Yuan once, so she also fell into a daze when she heard it.
It turned out that in a place she didn't know, there were so many desirable scenery, the ten-mile red plum, the young man who rode a horse and shot a fox-
Uncle Zhao said that he was thirsty, and naturally commanded Hua Lanxiang to bring refreshments, and the two of them said while eating, he was well-informed, and he could easily say any interesting things, even if Hua Lanxiang was such an introvert and not good at words, he was amused to laugh from time to time, anyway, the family was not at home, and the two of them ate lunch.
Hua Lanxiang saw that he was really greedy, and according to him, she made him a roast chicken, although it was not as good as Hua Manxi's craftsmanship, but it was also very good.
Besides, Hua Manxi and Xu Jinfei and their party, after breakfast, Xu Jinfei proposed to go up the mountain to hunt, and naturally had no opinion on the light breeze and light clouds, and called Da Yang, Xiao Song, Xiao Yezi, Li Qiuqiu and others, and the group went to the mountain in a mighty way.
Da Yang and Xiao Song are naturally the most familiar with this peach blossom village, and when they arrived at the bamboo forest, Hua Manxi suddenly said to Xu Jinfei: "There are pheasants here, the last time Xiao Song and I came here to dig bamboo shoots, we caught a nest of pheasants, and now my aunt and uncle are very big." β
Speaking of this, Xu Jinfei showed a smug smile and said, "Do you really think that pheasant was beaten by you two fools?" That's all my credit! β
What the? Hua Manxi naturally didn't believe it, raised his head and asked him, "What is your credit?" β
"You were there catching pheasants, and you couldn't catch them at all, and I killed you because I took action." Xu Jinfei pointed to the place where Hua Manxi and Xiao Song caught pheasants at that time, and said proudly.
Hua Manxi saw that the position was really right, and immediately twisted his ears and shouted, "Okay, you, what are you doing with me?" You said! β
"Why am I following you, I'm here to blow the wind well, you two little fools are coming to wake me up!" Xu Jinfei said with a smile while hiding.
"Who do you say is a fool, you are a fool!" Hua Manxi was unhappy, and she was going to beat him when she chased him.
"Murder of her husband, Hua Xiaochu murders her husband!" Xu Jinfei rarely laughed with her, let go of his temperament and ran wildly in the snow, making Hua Manxi chase out of breath.
The two were playing around and soon reached the mountain.
Xu Jinfei took the kettle, unscrewed the lid of the kettle, and asked Hua Manxi to drink water, Hua Manxi's face flushed, and then he raised his eyes and swept around, and found that Xiao Yezi and Da Yang were also affectionate, Qingfeng and Li Qiuqiu were playing and fighting, while Xiao Song had been pestering Danyun to let him teach kung fu, and no one paid attention to them at all.
She took the kettle and drank the water, and said slowly, "Will there be prey here?" β
"I've been hunting professionally for more than ten years, you have to believe me." Xu Jinfei smiled slightly, also took the kettle she had drunk and took a sip without changing color, then twisted the lid, handed the kettle to Hua Manxi, and took out a bow and arrow.
"You and Da Yang, Xiao Song, and them stay here, make a fire to keep warm, and by the way, boil hot water, we'll be back soon, what do you want to eat, just tell me." Xu Jinfei said with a determined gaze.
Since a certain son is so confident, it is really impossible to say that Hua Manxi does not give him a chance to perform.
"I want to eat venison." Hua Manxi replied that the freshly roasted venison was the most fragrant, and if they could eat it, it would not be in vain for them to come out for a picnic on a cold day.
"Okay." Xu Jinfei polished his bow and arrows, beckoned to a light breeze and light clouds, and walked steadily towards the entrance of the forest.
"Sister Manxi, isn't Gongzi Xu injured? Can you hunt? Xiao Yezi saw that they were gone, and Da Yang and Xiao Song were chopping firewood on the side again, so they squeezed to Hua Manxi's side and asked in a low voice.
Li Qiuqiu's ears were sharp, and when he heard it, he glanced at Xiao Yezi and said, "What are you nervous about, people are not nervous about their husbands, you are worrying blindly." β
