"I was practicing in the mountains and forests, and she and her brother went to dig bamboo shoots, and along the way, I was greedy, so I followed her home to steal food."

Uncle Zhao: "......" No, this is not the prince of the world who is known as the first person in Beijing! His son is not like this!

"Ahem, that, she dug up fresh bamboo shoots to make dumplings, dipped in hot sauce and sour vinegar, it's really delicious!" In order to save a little face, the prince pretended to have an endless aftertaste.

Uncle Zhao: "......." This is really not his son! He didn't know this person at all!

There was an eerie silence for a while, and Uncle Zhao took a deep breath and said slowly, "Where are the dumplings?" Anything else? ”

Xu Jinfei: "......."

A few seconds later, it was still the stove, the dumplings, and the two plates of dipping sauce.

But the people who stole the dumplings changed from one to two.

One on the left hand, one on the right hand, one sour, one spicy, one bite at a time, Uncle Zhao ate heartily.

Xu Jinfei had already eaten a little full just now, and he was leisurely savoring it at this time, but he also ate a few more.

Then, the two of them were embarrassed to find that they had eaten up dozens of dumplings in a steamer!

Looking at each other, it was very weird.

"Ahem, that, it's not too good to eat other people's things for nothing, right, Childe?" Uncle Zhao coughed dryly twice and said in a low voice.

"Did you bring any money?" Xu Jinfei gave him a blank look.

"Brought it." Uncle Zhao touched his purse, "How much?" Five taels of silver? ”

"Five taels of silver, are you crazy? This dumpling is worth five taels of silver? Xu Jinfei gritted his teeth and said, "How do you do the housekeeper, the silver you are the son of this world is blown by the wind?" When has this son ever eaten dumplings so expensive for five taels of silver? Or is it this service? This environment? ”

Uncle Zhao was a little embarrassed, but he was the master, so he could only nod in agreement: "Childe is right!" How much does that boy think is appropriate? ”

"A tael of silver, no more! Yipinju and Tianxianglou are also at this price. The budget-conscious Xu Dashizi said.

Uncle Zhao put a tael of silver on the steamer, turned around and jumped over the wall with Xu Jinfei, and left the Hua family.

Hua Manxi didn't know it, she slept until dawn, planning to steam a few dumplings for breakfast, but she was so frightened that she exclaimed: "Oh my God, where are my dumplings?" Where's my dumplings! ”

Last night, their family ate only a dozen of them, and there was still a full basket in this steamer.

However, there was an extra silver on the steamer. A tael of silver.

Hua Manxi suddenly felt weird, the last time the assassin came in, he also asked himself to make food, this time two came, and ate all her dumplings, but left the silver.

Could it be that the assassin last time, who thought her cooking was too delicious, came to steal it this time?

Oh my God, she's drugged him, and he's not afraid! Do you dare to come and steal food? Forget about stealing food, and call friends for company! That's excessive!

You're going to steal it, right? Then she'll let him eat to his heart's content! If he didn't make him kneel and beg for mercy, she wouldn't be called Hua Manxi!

"Sister, what's wrong? What about dumplings? Hua Xiaosong was surprised when he saw Hua Manxi holding an empty tray.

"No, I don't know if there are wild cats and wild dogs, I think this yard needs to be repaired." Hua Manxi gritted his teeth and said.

"Ah, are we still trading today?" Hua Xiaosong raised her head and asked.

"Do it, why don't you do it, don't sell noodles today, sell dumplings, we'll go up the mountain to dig bamboo shoots now, and come back to make dumplings." Hua Manxi said, "You have to ask your aunt to help make dumpling wrappers at home, otherwise you won't be able to come back." ”

"Okay, then let's talk to my mother." Hua Xiaosong looked at the tray in Hua Manxi's hand blankly, and said very angrily, "Where did the damn wild cat come from, stealing dumplings!" I'm so angry, I knew I ate it all last night! ”

"It's okay, let's take a decoy tonight and get revenge! Let that wild cat taste what it means to burn your heart! Hua Manxi smiled darkly.

"What's heartburning?" Hua Komatsu didn't understand.

"You'll understand tonight." Hua Manxi looked at the courtyard suspiciously, damn assassin, it's really not a long lesson, it seems that there is less medicine last time.

"Uncle, uncle, the wild cat in the house stole the dumplings, Xiao Song and I want to go up the mountain to dig some bamboo shoots, and wait to make dumplings to sell, aunt, you ask the uncle if he is free, nail the courtyard wall of the house with bamboo sticks, and the windowsill is also outside, see if the wild cat can come in."

"What, there are wild cats at home! Eaten all up? The eldest aunt rushed over, looked at the empty steamer that Hua Manxi put next to her, and stomped her feet angrily, "I'm so angry, how can there be a wild cat coming in, why is there no sound at all?" What a basket of dumplings! ”

"Forget it, auntie, let's make some more dumpling skins, Komatsu and I are going up the mountain, remember to feed the chickens." Hua Manxi took the firewood knife and yesterday's back basket, and went out with Hua Xiaosong, who was holding a hoe.

In the same place yesterday, the two siblings sped up their movements, and after a while, they dug up half a basket of bamboo shoots.

There are fresh wild vegetables along the way, Hua Manxi also pulled a few handfuls casually, the most surprising thing is that there are wild coriander here, Hua Manxi also dug some soil and brought it back, planning to plant it in the ground.

Originally, Hua Xiaosong wanted to go home, but Hua Manxi deliberately asked him to turn a corner, and went to the place where he met the assassin last time and rescued Xu Jinfei, where there were still mustard seeds, she asked Hua Xiaosong to pick them all, and planned to take them home to crush them, and entertain the two greedy bandits.

When the two of them returned home, the eldest aunt dipped herself in flour and said, "Manxi came back, your uncle didn't go to the field today, and specially made a bamboo skewer courtyard wall at home, I just rolled out the dumpling skin, you hurry up, and you will have to steam the dumplings later." ”

The rest of the meat at home is almost finished, this is the last bit of fat and lean meat left, not pork belly, it is not as good as pork belly, this kind of meat, fat meat can not be put too much, otherwise the dumplings will be very oily, but it can not be put less.

For the sake of insurance, Hua Manxi decided to fry it and adjust the filling.

The bamboo shoots should be boiled three times, taking advantage of this gap, Hua Manxi first put the fatty meat in and fried until the oil comes out, then put in the lean meat, stir-fry, and finally put in garlic and a little soy sauce to taste. After frying the meat filling, Hua Manxi chopped the bamboo shoots with dried water into granules, cut some wild coriander into them, and stirred them with the meat filling.

After adjusting the filling, several people began to wrap the buns neatly, steaming while wrapping, and soon made more than a dozen bowls of steamed dumplings.

Hua Manxi mixed two more dipping sauces with chili pepper and vinegar, and cooked a large bucket of light vegetable soup, and then pushed the cart to the construction site to sell dumplings.

Time was in a hurry today, and when she arrived, the workers had already begun to rest.

"Ouch, little girl, I thought you weren't coming, and I almost had to go home for a cold meal." An uncle approached Hua Manxi with a smile and enthusiastically helped Hua Manxi carry the soup bucket to the stone table.

"It's so fragrant, what are you selling today, hurry up and give one to my uncle first, I'm going to be hungry." Uncle said happily.

"Today's steamed dumplings are sold, the fresh bamboo shoots on the mountain are just right, the fresh bamboo shoots are filled, there are two dipping sauces of vinegar and chili, and the green vegetable soup is cooked to relieve greasy." Hua Manxi took out a bowl of dumplings and put two large bowls of dipping sauce on the stone table.

"Come on, it's still Liuwen, right?" The uncle took out six cents and handed it over, the dumplings had just come out of the pot, all of them were white and fat, and they smelled a strong fragrance as soon as they took it.

He couldn't wait to pick one up, first dipped in sour vinegar, the bamboo shoots were tender and refreshing, mixed with the fat and thin meat flavor, and the rich soup umami burst in the mouth, it was so delicious!

"Well, it's delicious, this dumpling is good, it's good, I'll try this spicy." The uncle dipped in chili pepper and garlic again, and was first exhaled by the spicy Sisi, but after it went down to his stomach, the whole mouth had an endless aftertaste, constantly urging him to eat another one, and eat another one.

"This little girl is not very old, and her skills in making dumplings are really good, even the mother-in-law at home can't make such good-looking fat dumplings." Another uncle also ate energetically, and greeted the people around him who didn't buy dumplings, "Buy a bowl and try it, this dumpling is really delicious, and you can't eat it a few times a year." ”

This time, the dumplings sold faster than all the noodles, but all of a sudden, they were sold out. Some didn't buy it, so they had to come to the person who bought it to eat a taste, and after eating, they complained about their slow hands.

When Uncle Zhao came, Hua Manxi was already closing the stall, just waiting for the workers to finish eating and collect the bowls before going home.

"Gone? Sold out? Uncle Zhao looked at the empty stone table, and only a bucket of vegetable soup remained, which was scooped away by the workers bowl after bowl.

"I'm sorry, uncle, it's sold out." Hua Manxi said apologetically, "Originally, I prepared some dumplings last night, but I didn't want to have wild cats at home, so I stole them, and I got up in a hurry this morning to make them, so I didn't make too much." ”

Wild, wildcat?

Didn't she see the silver that was placed on the steamer? How dare you say they are feral cats? It seems that the silver is still less, and it has long been said that the son of the world is really a dime, and he is careful to calculate, and he stole the dumplings of a steamer, and he actually gave one or two silver!

"Hehe, that's the case, those two wild cats are really good-looking, and they actually found your house." Uncle Zhao said with a smile on his face.

"yes." Hua Manxi also wondered in her heart, why did those assassins like to drill into her house so much? Still stealing dumplings? Can you have a little Assassin self-consciousness?

Uncle Zhao didn't buy dumplings, he was in a low mood, to be honest, he hadn't eaten enough dumplings last night.

From the bustling and noisy Shangjing to this peach blossom village where birds don't, he is in the capital, that is a famous pilgrim, where the restaurant chef has the ability, he only needs to smell the smoke of stir-frying, he can smell it.

But now, now! In order to eat a few dumplings that fit the taste, he was actually scolded as a wild cat!

Yes! It's not him! This is not the famous Zhao Ye in Shangjing! No!
