When it comes to dipping sauces, spicy ones are naturally indispensable for numb and spicy, and if they are not spicy, sesame paste and peanut butter are indispensable.

Hua Manxi first took out some sun-dried peanuts and sesame seeds, then set up a small pot, dried the pot over low heat, put in the peanuts and fried them slowly, poured them out after the peanuts were fried, rubbed off the red clothes, and then crushed them, and then added a little sugar and salt to grind over low heat until they became a slurry.

The same is true for tahini, but the sesame seeds are finely chopped and more cumbersome to make.

If only it were in modern times, a wall-breaking blender would do the trick.

As soon as the peanut butter and tahini were ready, the golden shopkeeper knocked on the door.

Hua Manxi calmly went to open the firewood door, only to see that the golden shopkeeper was carrying a large basket of things in his hand, and he also brought an elderly master, who thought it should be the cook in his restaurant.

It's just that this master's shelf seems to be a little big, and when he saw that Hua Manxi was a little girl, he immediately showed a suspicious gaze, and said disdainfully: "Shopkeeper, have you made a mistake?" This is what you call the God Chef? How old is this little girl? You've been poured ecstasy soup into it, and you've praised her to the sky. ”

"Hey, Da Yanagi, don't underestimate this girl, she roasted a roast duck yesterday, and the smell is still watery when I think about it now." While persuading the cook named Da Liu, the golden shopkeeper said to Hua Manxi, "Little girl, according to what you said, I specially bought fresh prawns, crabs, abalone, sea cucumbers, and fish at the dock today, and it depends on what you do!" ”

"Shopkeeper, this basket is worth a lot of money! What can she make as a little girl, don't waste the materials, or I'll do it, isn't she selling dipping sauce? Even if you bring her dipping sauce. ”

"This—little shopkeeper, look?" The golden shopkeeper glanced at Hua Manxi with some embarrassment, and he was also a person who couldn't make up his mind.

"Since the master doesn't believe in my cooking skills, why don't we try it out? We have divided this ingredient into two parts, since I want to eat the dipping sauce, I will choose the light method, the master chef to make the oil fried, how about it? Hua Manxi looked at the basket of seafood slowly, and his hands were a little itchy.

"Ho yo, you little girl really don't know how thick the sky is, although I Jin Daliu has no father and no mother, but has been in the Jin Yutang as a spoon, earlier in the Jin shopkeeper's grandfather to learn art, and helped his father to support the entire Jin Yu Tang, now although old, only in the Jin Yu Tang with apprentices, but there are those old guests, come to the Jin Yu Tang, or have to eat the chef's dishes, you have not yet grown up the little girl, dare to say to compete with me?" Jin Daliu laughed twice.

"Although being a chef pays attention to cooking experience, it does not mean that the older you are, the higher your cooking skills will be." Hua Manxi felt that his cooking skills had been seriously provoked, glanced at Jin Daliu, and said, "Don't say much, Master Jin, please." ”

She invited the two into the house, went to the well, divided the basket full of ingredients into two portions, and brought Master Jin a chopping board, kitchen knives, bowls, and other things.

"Hmph, even if you have a good mouth today, I will show you your hand to Grandpa Jin."

"Then I'll give you the stove and pot." Hua Manxi smiled slightly, and also began to process the seafood.

Jin Daliu has been making seafood for decades, and to put it mildly, he can do it with his eyes closed, so while he was cleaning, he watched Hua Manxi do it, wanting to see how many skills this little village girl has.

But he didn't think that Hua Manxi's movements were not jerky at all, comparable to his proficiency, and his speed was not comparable.

Moreover, her flower knife for cutting squid even has some brilliance, he is an insider, and when he sees how well this flower knife can be beaten, he is a skilled hand.

Only then did Jin Daliu put away his thoughts about underestimating the enemy, and began to clean up the seafood in earnest.

The two of them finished cleaning the seafood almost at the same time, Jin Daliu glanced at Hua Manxi, only to see that she put all the seafood in a big wooden basin, secretly relieved in her heart, and said disdainfully, it is really too young, how can it be like him, he has already gone through all the dishes in his mind, in order, and bowls are served.

The two went to the vegetable garden together to pick side dishes, that Jin Daliu picked onions, garlic and ginger, Shishan County is a person from the south, rarely try to eat chili peppers, if it weren't for Hua Manxi to make chili sauce, even some people with short knowledge don't know that chili peppers can be eaten.

Hua Manxi is not like Jin Daliu, she always likes to secretly watch her pick some side dishes, when she cooks, she has no distractions, only concentrates on making her own dishes, so she doesn't explain, against Jin Daliu's contemptuous and mocking gaze, picks cabbage, and digs some wild coriander in the corner.

This thing is called salt west in modern times, also known as wild coriander, although the taste is not as good as coriander, but the fragrance is better than coriander.

After Hua Manxi cleaned the cabbage and Yanxi, he found the wild mushrooms that were dried last time from the stove, dried the bamboo shoots, soaked them, and cleaned them.

By the time she finished washing, Jin Daliu over there had already fried two dishes, and she knew it was the smell of fried prawns and spicy crab as soon as she smelled it.

He can make spicy crabs, I think he is a person who has gone far to learn northern cuisine, otherwise he would not be able to support a golden jade hall.

Hua Manxi cheered up and began to prepare for cooking.

She got up a small pot, simmered the heat, put the fish head that had just been chopped into the pot and fryed, until the fish head was fried golden, then took the casserole, put the fish head in it and put in half a pot of water, put in ginger slices, garlic slices, green onion knots, cooking wine, a little salt, and then put in the shelled seafood, shells, flower nails, after the water is boiled, then put in the remaining squid, prawns, sea cucumbers, abalone, etc.

After a while, the pot of seafood made a gurgling and tumbling sound, and the bubbles also brought some aroma to it.

When all the seafood is cooked, Hua Manxi will also put dried bamboo shoots, wild mushrooms, cabbage and other vegetables into it.

While waiting, she also took the time to knead a handful of noodles and pull them into slender noodles.

That's right, the dish she made is a mixed seafood pot, and after eating the seafood, the noodles are blanched in the soup, which is the essence.

After the greens were soft, Hua Manxi picked up the entire casserole and moved it to the table in the hall.

This seafood has to be eaten hot to be delicious, so Hua Manxi made a small stove, put some charcoal on it, and put the casserole on it.

Of course, there is nothing unique about this pot of assorted seafood casserole, and the method is also simple, to say that it is delicious or not, a secret dipping sauce, that is essential.

Hua Manxi mixed two large bowls of dipping sauce, one bowl is not spicy, minced garlic and ginger, add soy sauce, sesame oil, mixed with peanut butter, and the other bowl is spicy, raw millet pepper, crushed pepper, add soy sauce, sesame oil, a little sesame paste, balsamic vinegar, and then add a large spoonful of her homemade chili sauce.

Of course, both dipping sauces are sprinkled with salt.

She adjusted the dipping sauce, and Jin Daliu had already prepared the dish and served it together.

Fried prawns, scallop and squid chowder, steamed abalone with garlic, sea cucumber and mushroom fish head for soup, and fish fillet fried.

These dishes are full of color, flavor and flavor, which is really good.

"Little girl, you have a good mouth, this garlic abalone, but our Jinyutang's signature dish, as well as this fried prawns, tsk, the guests who have come to eat have not said that it is not delicious." The golden shopkeeper hurriedly said with honor.

"Taste it." The golden willow also glanced proudly at the steaming pot of Huamanxi's smorgasbord and said.

Hua Manxi sniffed the aroma of the food, and only felt that his mood had improved, and the most pleasant thing for a chef should be to turn the delicious ingredients into exquisite dishes, and then watch people eat them with satisfaction.

This is her own home, Hua Manxi is naturally not polite, picked up the chopsticks and put an abalone in her mouth to taste.

The abalone is just right, tender and chewy, accompanied by the taste of garlic and ginger, it is indeed a delicacy.

"Delicious, delicious." Hua Manxi nodded again and again, and went to clip the prawns again.

This prawn tastes three points, the aroma is tangy, the lips and teeth are fragrant, and it is also a good product, but the oil is a little heavier, she ate two, and then stopped the chopsticks.

"Etiquette is always exchanged, and I will taste yours too." The golden willow hooked the corners of her lips slightly, proudly stretched out her chopsticks, and picked up some of the dishes in her casserole.

"I'll taste it too, I'll taste it too." The golden shopkeeper also picked up the dishes and chopsticks himself, he ate the roast duck last night and had an endless aftertaste, and now he has a fresh dish, and he can't wait.

"Although it is handled properly and adds the fragrance of dried mushroom shoots, this pot of chowder is really difficult to achieve."

Jin Daliu felt that this was expected, although the strength of his shopkeeper blew up the roast duck of this little village girl last night, he should be a must for this little village girl's roast duck, but as a cook, he actually has a specialization in cuisine, so he said that he has been doing seafood for a lifetime before he practiced this cooking skill, and this little girl actually dares to compete with him?

Huangkou child, simple-minded!

"Then try the dip again." Hua Manxi took out two parts from the two bowls of dipping sauce, pointed to the peanut butter and said: "This is not spicy, this one is spicy, generally my habit is spicy meat sweets, you are free." ”

The golden shopkeeper took out another piece of squid flower, dipped it in the spicy bowl, and then put it in his mouth.

The feeling that amazed his tongue last night came again!

He didn't have time to speak, and he couldn't wait to grab other seafood, fish fillets, abalone, etc., and put them in a bowl to dip them all over, and then ate them again.

This seafood has to be eaten hot, it is not delicious when it is cold, the casserole of this flower is full of rivers under the warm charcoal fire, the things that come out are steaming, and then dipped in a little chili, it is simply eaten on fire, but the whole body is comfortable, hearty.

When Jin Daliu saw that the shopkeeper couldn't stop the chopsticks, he naturally began to try the dishes.

But he didn't want to try it like this, so the golden shopkeeper asked Hua Manxi to pour a small pot of osmanthus brew that he drank last night, eating hot pot and drinking a little wine at the same time, and the pot would bottom out after a while.
