"Madam-" Lin Zhicheng always felt that things were not so simple, and frowned and shouted, but Mrs. Lin was full of worries about her son and daughter, where would she listen to him, so she immediately stood up and said to Hua Manxi, "I will order the maid here to send Sister Hua back." ”

"Don't bother Madame, I know that Madame is not at ease, so let Grandpa Guo hold a ceremony first, let me recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors, and then send my mother back, by the way, I don't want to be a concubine." Hua Manxi said unexpectedly.

Lin Zhicheng and Mrs. Lin were stunned for a moment, they originally thought that Hua Manxi was very reluctant to recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors, but they didn't expect her to take the initiative to propose, the two looked at each other for a moment, but there was no reason to refuse, although they were a little unwilling to think of being a concubine, but if it was a concubine, it would not be good to marry to the Zhenguo Mansion, and they were afraid that Hua Manxi would regret it, so they hurriedly responded: "That's good, that's good, let's arrange it." ”

The Weiguo Mansion is still quite efficient, but after a while, he invited the clan elder over, put Hua Manxi's name on the family tree, and entered the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors, knelt down and saluted, recorded in the name of Mrs. Lin, and became the eldest daughter of the Lin family.

And Lin Fengxuan has also changed from the original eldest daughter to the second daughter. She was naturally unconvinced, but her mother deliberately told her not to give birth to a mess, otherwise she would be the one who married into the Zhenguo Mansion.

Although Lin Fengxuan has a big temperament, she can still distinguish priorities, and she is also a hundred unwilling to this marriage, so she held back her temper and let Hua Manxi recognize her ancestors.

The people of the Lin Mansion originally thought that Hua Manxi was taking it back, but she was just a concubine, and she didn't want to be the eldest daughter, and for a while, those aunts and concubines were in different moods.

Although Hua Lanxiang didn't go to watch the ceremony, there was a lot of commotion in the Lin Mansion, and she naturally heard it, and her heart was even more unpleasant, and her eyes were slightly red.

Only Hua Manxi's heart is like stopping water, his expression is calm, and there is no excess emotion on his face.

After the ceremony, Hua Manxi couldn't wait to send Hua Lanxiang and them back, but Lin Fengxuan, who had just returned from Lu Mansion, stretched out her hand to stop Hua Manxi.

"Is there something wrong? Second sister? Hua Manxi glanced at her, and that gaze was like looking at a child.

This second sister made Lin Fengxuan's heart burn with faint anger, she was originally the eldest lady of the Weiguo Mansion, the eldest daughter, but now she has become the second daughter! She was already unhappy, and she had to be called a sister by this village girl from the countryside! has a sister from such a background, her face is about to be lost!

But with so many clans in the family today, she can't lose her temper at will, otherwise it will affect her reputation.

Lin Fengxuan clenched her fists tightly, squeezed out a smile on her face, gritted her teeth and said: "Big sister, today, for the matter of your ancestors and returning to your ancestors, my father has worked so hard for so many clan elders and uncles, shouldn't you express your gratitude?" ”

Hua Manxi also smiled slightly, and said quietly: "Really? Didn't I just confess my ancestors? The rules of the house, Mrs. hasn't had time to teach me yet, I don't know how to express gratitude for such a situation? ”

Lin Fengxuan raised a look of deterrence, but her face pretended to be thinking about her, and said, "In this way, don't you have the Imperial Kitchen Golden Knife?" Since it is an imperial kitchen, the cooking skills must be good, these uncles and clan elders haven't eaten yet, so you can cook a thank you banquet yourself, right? ”

She just wants to tell everyone that this Hua Manxi's background is actually a lowly cook! Even if she is an imperial chef, she is also a lowly cook! In the Lin Mansion, the most noble girl is still her Lin Fengxuan, even if Hua Manxi occupies the name of this eldest daughter, then she is just a cook.

As soon as she said this, Lin Zhicheng and Mrs. Lin both changed their complexions, but Mrs. Lin only pursed her lips slightly, and did not say anything to stop her, it seems that Mrs. Lin's thoughts are the same as Lin Fengxuan, give her a dismount, after all, she now recognizes her ancestors and returns to her ancestors, and she will definitely not give up her face to sue Lin Yuheng.

And although Lin Zhicheng was unhappy in his heart, but after thinking about it, Lin Fengxuan said it well, the people who are working on this matter today are all clan elders and elders, if Hua Manxi cooks a meal, it is not a big deal, and she is the golden knife imperial chef, that is the person who cooks for the master in the palace, the cooking skills must not be bad, these clan elders eat comfortably, and he also has face.

Everyone has their own thoughts, Lin Fengxuan saw that her parents did not object, and she looked at Hua Manxi proudly, she just became the eldest daughter of Lin Mansion today, if she agreed to cook, everyone would definitely laugh at her behind her back, if she didn't agree, this reputation would definitely be criticized on the first day, and she couldn't please her.

Hua Manxi is not a fool, she naturally understands, she did not hesitate, and responded generously: "Cooking is just a gesture, why not?" I'm going to prepare, I don't know if the uncles have any taboos? ”

She was generous and calm, without the slightest sense of humiliation, but very considerate to inquire about everyone's tastes.

Those uncles were already flattered when they heard that she was the golden knife imperial chef, this golden knife imperial chef, but the chef who cooked for the emperor, they actually had the blessing to eat the imperial meal, and they didn't dare to take Qiao immediately, only saying that there was nothing taboo.

"Then please wait, I'll make a meal quickly." Hua Manxi bowed slightly, saluted them, and then was led by his subordinates to the big kitchen of the Lin Mansion.

Since it is to entertain the elders and the elders, the dishes must not be too plain, otherwise people will say that the hospitality is not good, but these clan elders are all elderly people, if they eat too greasy, and it is not easy to restrain them, they go home and have a stomachache or something, and they are not good.

Moreover, since Lin Fengxuan dug a pit for her to jump like this, if Hua Manxi didn't pull her in, wouldn't it be a loss of her good intentions?

Hua Manxi made up his mind and quickly settled on the dish.

She has been in Yipinju for such a long time, and she also knows a little about banquets in Kyoto, where there will be appetizing cold cuts and head soup before serving, followed by hot dishes, and dessert after the meal.

In this soup, she plans to make a good ham stewed with fresh bamboo shoot soup, and then cold vegetables, make a dish of garlic and white meat, a piece of osmanthus sugar lotus, and a dish of vegetarian three silks.

For the hot dish, there is a pigeon egg, a stir-fried field chicken, a fish fillet with milk sauce, a casserole with simmered deer tendon, a fried beef tenderloin with green onions, a cabbage roll, and finally a lotus roll and a bird's nest with rock sugar.

First of all, Hua Manxi first took all the ingredients needed, and then asked the kitchen in the kitchen and the maid to help clean and prepare the ingredients, originally, she was new to the house, it was impossible to call people, but the last time she showed her hand when she made noodles, the kitchen was simply shocking, and she was very worshipped, with her help, Hua Manxi finally assigned the task at hand.

Besides, Wang Shishi said all day long that money can make ghosts grind, and she also believes in this sentence.

Hua Manxi glanced at the maids and women who were not moving next to him, and handed a bulging money bag to Li Xixi, who took the initiative to help, in front of them, and said politely: "Li Xixi, Manxi is a newcomer, and I don't know what the rules are, you take this money, and I will buy some delicious food with the helper." ”

What a money bag that's so thick! It's that the lady and the original eldest lady are not so generous! Isn't this new big girl not loved by Grandpa Guo, and was sent to cook as soon as she came in? Why is it so broad?

"That, Li Hao, I'm done with the business at hand, I'll also help wash the vegetables." Those mothers-in-law and maids all looked forward to the money and offered to help.

In this way, Hua Manxi is much easier, as long as the seasoning is prepared. The first thing to do is to stew the soup.

Blanch a whole piece of smoked ham, take it out, put it in a casserole, pour water, boil it on the fire and simmer slowly, stew until the soup is thick, and when the unique taste of the ham is emitted, then put in the fresh bamboo shoots together, and stew until the ham meat can be sandwiched with chopsticks.

This soup only needs to be seasoned with a small amount of pepper and salt, and it is extremely delicious and salty.

The soup is simmered on the stove, and Hua Manxi then begins to cook cold dishes.

Garlic white meat, the requirements of this dish are that the meat slices are thin and large, the garlic flavor is rich, salty, spicy and fragrant, and slightly sweet, and the ingredients are generally selected to sit on the buttocks, meat or pork belly.

A slice of pork belly selected by Hua Manxi, boil the water, put the thinly sliced pork belly into the pot, add ginger slices and cook until white, and blanch the shredded carrots.

Wrap the cucumber shreds, carrots and green onions with the sliced meat and put them on a plate, then mix them with an appropriate amount of minced garlic, soy sauce, chili oil, sugar, and sesame oil, and pour them on top.

The next thing to do is osmanthus sugar lotus, this dish is very simple, Hua Manxi has done it countless times, and it is ready to be done, and the vegetarian three silk is the same, with fungus silk, mushroom silk, and tofu skin, drain the water after blanching, and then mix with sesame seeds, coriander, green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, a little old vinegar, sugar, etc.

After the three cold dishes are ready, it's time to make the hot dishes.

The first thing to do is pigeon eggs, this dish, Hua Manxi learned from the dream of Red Mansions, this dish, is actually a tonic.

After the pigeon eggs are boiled, the shells are removed, and the chicken broth is slowly obscene, and then a little salt, a little pepper, a little wolfberry, and a little rock sugar are added to stew and collect the juice, which is sweet and nourishing, and is very suitable for the elderly to eat.

Stir-fry field chicken, with the fresh field chicken sent from the grange, after cutting and killing, put in pepper and stir-fry on high heat, salt, cooking wine, soy sauce, ginger slices to taste, put water on medium heat and simmer, high heat to collect the juice, this dish is fresh and tender, very delicious.
