In the end, Li Qiuqiu left Xufu crying, and when she left, she had to pass by Hua Manxi's stall, Hua Manxi was delivering food to Uncle Hua and the village chief.

"Qiuqiu, it's coming out so soon......" Hua Manxi wanted to say hello, but before the words fell, he saw the tears on Li Qiuqiu's face.

Her words stuck in her throat, and she paused awkwardly, Li Qiuqiu raised her eyes and glanced at her, stopped talking, and finally didn't say anything, crying and leaving.

"Hey, Manxi, isn't that the daughter of the old Li family? What's wrong with her? Uncle Liu had already finished eating, touched his round stomach and said, "Your rice is so fragrant, Boss Hua said that your meat is the meat you killed last time, it's been so long, how do you do it, it's not bad, and it's not as salty as salted meat." ”

Speaking of eating, Hua Manxi's attention was immediately diverted, and he said eloquently: "This is called bacon, sausage, bacon is also like making salted meat, it needs to be salted for a few days, but after a few days, it will be skewered and placed in a cool place to dry, not like salted meat, which has been placed in salt grains, and the more salted it is, the saltier it is." When this sausage is made, it will be wasted, the pig's small intestine is washed and dried in water, which is the filling made of minced pork belly, and the flavor must be adjusted, this seasoning can be adjusted according to your favorite preferences, it can be spicy, salty, it can be slightly sweet, and finally the filling is poured into the casing with a funnel, tied up, and also placed in a cool place to dry. ”

"This is good, it can be stored for a long time, and it is delicious." Uncle Liu was amazed, and gave a thumbs up to Hua Lao Dao, "Boss Hua, our girl is an expert in eating, and let her be aggrieved at home, isn't it a waste of this clever mind?" ”

"Indeed, like her mother, she likes to cook." The flower boss smiled innocently.

"Speaking of her mother, she hasn't been back to the village for a long time, so she won't be married, right?" The village chief asked.

"No, this girl knows what she's thinking." Speaking of the girl, Boss Hua also sighed and put the food box aside, "Manxi, we are all full, take this food box home, can you see if it can be repaired like this?" ”

Hua Manxi took a look at this wooden shed, about a dozen square meters, in addition to the place to put the cart, you can also put a few tables and chairs to shelter from the wind and rain, which is very good.

"Very good, uncle, there is an open space here, use some bamboo and wood to make a few simple tables and benches, there are not many tables at home, and I can't take them." Flower Full Creek Road.

It's just a stall, so naturally it can't be as comfortable and gorgeous as a restaurant, and it's good to have a place to sit.

"This is easy to do, and there is still a lot of wood and bamboo left." Uncle Hua agreed.

"Little girl, this is your stall, it's very good." A bold voice sounded, Hua Manxi turned his head to look, and saw the uncle just now walking over with the two little brothers.

"Uncle, you're really here to help, how embarrassing it is." Hua Manxi smiled sweetly and briefly introduced Uncle Hua and Uncle Liu.

Uncle Liu is easy-going and talkative, he can talk to anyone, and he soon became a relative of the uncle

It turned out that this uncle's surname was Yang, and he was the cousin of Uncle Liu's new family.

"That's it, uncle, since we are all relatives, please come to my house for a light meal after work tonight." Hua Manxi saw that the two little brothers were also busy and sweating, and he felt a little reluctant to go.

"No, where can this be, Manxi, this is my new relative, come to my house to do it, hurry back and let your godmother kill chickens!" Uncle Liu hurriedly intercepted her words and said directly.

"Where, where, how bad it is to spread this, we are just hungry for this little girl's noodles, and we heard that she is going to open a stall, so we came to help." The uncle refused, a little embarrassed.

In the countryside, killing chickens is the highest treatment for hospitality.

"Brother Tai, you are polite, don't give me Lao Liu face, this Manxi is my goddaughter, and you are my son's relative of the Yue family, and you will not trouble you in the future, everyone will celebrate the opening of Manxi's new stall! Manxi, hurry up, go home and let the godmother kill the chicken and cook! Uncle Liu clapped his head.

"This, it's so polite, it's too troublesome." Uncle Yang was still a little embarrassed, "We didn't help much." ”

"That's it!" Uncle Liu patted Uncle Yang on the shoulder, pretending to be mysterious, "You have only eaten the noodles made by my goddaughter, and you haven't tasted the rest of the food. ”

Speaking of the food made by the little girl, Uncle Yang, including the two little brothers, swallowed a mouthful of saliva involuntarily, and the gluttonous worms ran out, so he no longer shirked, but just worked harder to help.

Hua Manxi did not go directly to Uncle Liu's house, but returned to his own home, washed the food box first, and the eldest aunt had just dug up a large basket of potatoes from the ground and was throwing mud.

"Manxi is back? How is the shed built? The eldest aunt didn't raise her head, and asked casually.

"I'm halfway done, and I guess it's going to be finished today, and an uncle on the construction site also came to help, saying that he wanted to eat the noodles I made. Coincidentally, that person is a cousin at my godfather's new family, and my godfather insisted that I go to his house to cook and entertain them, so I went home to get something and went to my godfather's house to cook, and my aunt didn't have to cook tonight, so we went to my godfather's house to eat together. ”

"How can this be? It's obvious that your village chief is helping you, why do you still go to his house to eat and drink? This can't be said, Manxi. "Although the eldest aunt's family is poor, she is very ambitious, that is, when Hua Xiaosong and Hua Manxi were young, the second uncle's family had big fish and meat to eat, and she would never allow Hua Manxi and Hua Xiaosong to eat and drink.

"I know, I know, but the Yang family is my godfather's new family, and I always want to give him a little face, so I plan to cut bacon and sausages from my own house to cook." Flower full stream returns.

"Well, that's okay." The eldest aunt breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then you go over first, I'll finish shaking this potato, and then I'll go over and help you." ”

Hua Manxi snorted, then got up and took the vegetable basket to get the ingredients.

Cut some bacon, cut some sausages, and all the eggs that were marinated yesterday were also fished out and put in the food box, and some kimchi was also clipped.

There were only a few chickens in the chicken coop, most of them were the chicks she and Hua Xiaosong got from the mountain, Hua Manxi sat and looked right, couldn't do it, and asked, "Uncle, then do we kill the rooster or kill the hen?" ”

"As you like, that little chick grows up fast anyway, and we'll kill that pheasant when we wait until the New Year." The eldest aunt replied.

The hen can place an order, Hua Manxi thought that it would lay a few more eggs, and she could send them to Hua Xiaosong to eat, so she gritted her teeth, caught the rooster, took a few potatoes, and left.

When I arrived at Uncle Liu's house, the door was not closed, and if someone was at home during the day, the country would not close the door.

She didn't knock on the door, she went directly into the yard and shouted loudly: "Godmother, I'm here, are you at home?" ”

When Aunt Liu heard this, she came out of the house, drenched all over, and was surprised when she saw Hua Manxi: "You girl, I just talked about you, do you know?" Godmother has good luck today! I washed the quilt in the river and caught a big fish, so big! It's about four pounds! ”

Aunt Liu was so excited that her eyebrows fluttered, and then she realized that Hua Manxi was carrying something in her arms, and frowned: "What are you doing here?" Send me something again? ”

"No, my godfather asked me to cook and entertain guests tonight." Hua Manxi shook her head and told Aunt Liu about what happened.

"Then you can cook and cook, how can you take things! These chickens have been caught! Hurry up and get it back! Aunt Liu said with a straight face.

"This chicken has been caught, so let's kill it." Hua Manxi went to the kitchen by himself.

"Hey, why don't you listen to what you say, and don't you recognize me as a godmother!" Aunt Liu was also really angry, "You obviously didn't treat us as a family, and it was in vain that your godfather cut wood early in the morning to build a shed for you!"

"Ouch, godmother, it's just a chicken, who kills is not killing? If I take the chicken back, my aunt and uncle have to say that I can, this chicken is killed, and we will come to you for the Mid-Autumn Festival, won't it be even? Hua Manxi hurriedly said.

"That's what you said! If you don't come to me for the Mid-Autumn Festival, I won't be able to spare you! Aunt Liu then lost her anger and went to the stove to light the fire.

This chicken is killed, make a yellow stewed chicken, let's cross over for so long, I want to die yellow stewed chicken rice.

The big fish brought back by Aunt Liu was raised in the water tank, Hua Manxi glanced at it, and it was really very big, more than four catties, the godfather likes spicy ones, this fish head stewed soup, and the fish meat is made into a boiled fish fillet, which must be enjoyable.

"Godmother, by the way, is there tofu to buy in the village? I want to make a fish head tofu soup. Hua Manxi said.

"Lao Li's family sells tofu, and his mother-in-law can make it." Aunt Liu said.

"Then I'll go buy two pieces of tofu." Hua Manxi said that he was going to go outside.

"Stop, come back and light the fire, I'll buy tofu!" You can't spend money! Aunt Liu hurriedly drank her!

Hua Manxi grinned, she could only let her, and turned her head back to the stove to light the fire.

After adding firewood, Hua Manxi went to Aunt Liu's vegetable garden and began to pick vegetables.

The ingredients are almost ready, Hua Manxi picked some spinach, and picked ginger, onion and garlic, there are no raw peppers in Aunt Liu's vegetable field, but there are strings of dried peppers hanging on the eaves, and Hua Manxi also got some down.

She killed the chickens she had brought and bled them.

Just as the water was boiling, she began to scald, pluck, eviscerate, and chop the chicken.

"Manxi, you've killed all the chickens? You see, the godmother also brought you a helper. "When Hua Manxi was chopping pieces, Aunt Liu came back, followed by a person.
