Chapter 173: Happy New Year

"Wang Shishi, you have itchy skin, right?" Hua Manxi was amused by her and pretended to glance at her.

Wang Shishi immediately raised her hands, made a state of surrender, and howled: "It's so early in the morning, you are so loving, who can stand it, please get married quickly." ”

"To borrow Miss Wang's auspicious words, when we get married, we will definitely give Miss Wang joy candy." Xu Jinfei felt that his legs were not so numb, he got up from the ground, straightened his clothes, and became Xu Gongzi with outstanding temperament and Tsinghua unparalleled again.

"Do you dare not give it? If you dare not send me candy, I will snatch Manxi back and be my cousin-in-law. Wang Shishi glanced at Xu Jinfei viciously and threatened.

"Poetry, no nonsense." Chen Xiuli also got up, straightened his clothes and hair, and scolded Wang Shishi coldly, "There is a degree of joke, this kind of joke can't be made casually!" ”

Wang Shishi: "......"

"That's right, cousin, how can this kind of joke be made casually, even if my cousin doesn't mind, and Chef Hua's reputation is not good, Xu Gongzi will be unhappy." Li Yuehui also tidied up her clothes, combed her hair, stepped forward with Chen Xiuli's big coat, and also interjected.

Li Yuehui said, took the big puff in her hand and chased Chen Xiuli out: "Cousin, do you want to take your clothes back and wash them before returning them to you?" ”

Chen Xiuli said in a low voice: "Don't bother, just give it to me." ”

The two whispered something again, and slowly walked away, leaving Wang Shishi alone in the wind.

Wang Shishi: "......." early in the morning, she recruited someone to provoke someone, and she usually jokes like this!

The group cleaned up, extinguished the charcoal fire, and then went down the mountain.

When I went down to the Wolong Temple in the mountains, everyone was so tired that their feet were a little weak, and they were even more hungry.

Hua Manxi borrowed the kitchen from the abbot of the temple and made some meals.

When she went down the mountain, she picked some fungus from the mountain road, and also dug up some winter bamboo shoots, and there were plum blossoms in full bloom behind the temple.

She plans to make some plum blossom cakes, and make a cold salad with fungus and winter bamboo shoots, and cook a little steaming white porridge.

She washed the rice first, put water in it, and began to cook porridge, while the breeze helped her light the fire.

Then, Hua Manxi took a few purple potatoes in the temple, peeled and steamed, added white sugar and mixed well to make filling, warm water and noodles, and then crushed the red plum petals to take color, then kneaded the dough, after the dough is rising, rolled thin, wrapped in purple potato filling, and then made into the shape of plum blossoms, and steamed the dough in the pot.

The fungus and winter bamboo shoots, after cleaning, blanch them in boiling water, tear them into thin strips, add some dried tofu in the temple, add some spicy seeds to minced garlic, heat the oil, turn in the spicy garlic and stir-fry until fragrant, pour it on the cold salad, and then pour a little soy sauce and aged vinegar and stir evenly, and a bowl of refreshing and delicious cold salad is ready.

The white porridge has also been cooked at this time, Hua Manxi put out the white porridge, brought it to the table, and brought the plum blossom cake and cold salad to the table.

"Wow, I cooked porridge, but I was hungry, yesterday's barbecue was too fragrant, I ate too much, my stomach was a little uncomfortable, it's just right to have a bowl of white porridge." Wang Shishi was the first to run to the table, picked up a bowl of white porridge, warmed her frozen hands, and sighed.

"The conditions in the temple are simple, and the ingredients are limited, so let's do this, everyone will eat some to cushion their stomachs, and we will go down the mountain after breakfast." Hua Manxi said softly, scooped a bowl of porridge, and handed it to Xu Jinfei.

"Well, this plum blossom cake is so beautiful, and it has a fragrance of plum blossoms, which is really pleasing to the eye." Li Yuehui, who was a little contemptuous of Hua Manxi when she first met, also praised from the bottom of her heart.

"This plum blossom cake is indeed very good, the skin is flexible, the inside is soft and glutinous, especially with the fragrance of plum blossoms, the lips and teeth are fragrant, and the tongue is sweet." Chen Xiuli first ate plum blossom cakes, and then Li Yuehui's words were praised.

Light Breeze and Light Cloud have long been hungry, and they don't want to talk to them who have never seen the world, Hua Xiaochu has made more delicious dishes, and every dish is so delicious, even the kimchi is pickled more fragrant than others, they have long been accustomed to it, and the words of praise and praise have been said I don't know if there are few, and I really can't say anything better now.

Of course, they firmly believe that only by burying their heads in the food is the greatest respect for food.

Xu Jinfei took the porridge handed over by Hua Manxi, stirred it with a spoon, and after it cooled, he pushed it to Hua Manxi, scooped a bowl again, and ate it with cold vegetables.

After breakfast, Wang Shishi and Chen Xiuli and his party were going to run errands, while Xu Jinfei and his party went down the mountain first, and the light breeze and light clouds also took the hares and wild boars that they hunted from the mountains this morning.

Xu Jinfei took Hua Manxi to ride a horse and walked in front, the light breeze and light clouds walked behind, Hua Manxi rode a horse for the second time, because she said it was too uncomfortable yesterday, Xu Jinfei deliberately slowed down, she slowly adapted, and also had the leisure to enjoy the beautiful scenery on the road.

When I came back from the mountains to the streets, every household had already begun to put up lanterns, hang lanterns, paste window flowers, cut red paper, set off firecrackers, worship ancestors, and make New Year's foods.

The whole Shishan County is filled with a happy and joyful atmosphere of reunion.

Hua Manxi is still the first time to celebrate the New Year, and her heart is naturally happy, smelling the aroma in the curling smoke, she suddenly turned her head and asked: "Young Master Xu, what will you eat for the New Year in the north?" I'll do it for you, right? ”

Xu Jinfei looked at her smile, a flash of pleasure flashed in his eyes, and he said in a low voice: "Call me Brother Xu, and I'll tell you." ”

Brother Xu - this title is really awkward.

Hua Manxi's face turned red, and he said awkwardly: "Don't call, don't be awkward." ”

Xu Jinfei pulled the reins with one hand, tightened her waist with the other, pressed her into his arms, and said in her ear: "Can you call Chen Xiuli, not me?" I'm not happy anymore. ”

"Then can you compare with Brother Chen? We're all like this, it's really awkward to call you Brother Xu. Hua Manxi snorted coldly, patted his hand around his waist with his hand, and warned, "It's almost home, you behave well, make my mother angry, she can drive you back to Peach Blossom Village for the New Year." ”

Xu Jinfei didn't let go, and his voice suddenly had a hint of ridicule: "Then call Brother Xu." ”

Brother Xu? Hua Manxi felt that his goosebumps were about to rise, and he was trembling by his sudden numbness, his face became even more ugly, and he scolded in a low voice: "You are nervous, I don't want to call this strange name." ”

"After getting married that day, do you still call me Xu Gongzi?" A certain prince was not happy, so he pulled the reins again and ran the horse faster.

"Aren't you going to call your husband when you get married?" Hua Manxi wondered.

"What's it called?" A certain Shizi asked cheekily again.

"Husband." Hua Manxi didn't realize it suddenly, and called again.

"Hey, the lady is so good." Xu Jinfei smiled and responded.

Hua Manxi reacted in hindsight and made a big red face, but for some reason, the corners of his lips always rose unconsciously, and he couldn't press it.

The group returned to Hua Manxi's home, Hua Xiaobai and Uncle Hua were dismantling the old couplet, the eldest aunt was clearing the snow in the yard, and bursts of fragrance wafted out in the kitchen, it should be Hua Lanxiang was making New Year's snacks.

"Coming back? Why did you get wild boars again, all the pork from the house was brought over, and the utility room was full of hanging. Uncle Hua saw that Xu Jinfei was holding Hua Manxi and dismounted, and said happily, "Manxi, it's cold, hurry up and go into the house to warm up, your mother made sugar glutinous rice cakes, rice cakes, and melon sugar, sugar melon seeds, sugar peanuts, go in and taste it." When you were a child, you liked the dim sum made by your mother the most, and every time you can't come back for the New Year, your mother can't come back, so you ask someone to bring some food back, and you won't make trouble. ”

The uncle chattered, urging Hua Manxi to enter the house, and then turned to Xu Jinfei and said, "Xu Gongzi is also cold, go in and drink a bowl of hot tea." ”

Uncle Hua still likes Xu Jinfei very much, and greeted with a smile, he really regards Xu Jinfei as Hua Manxi's future husband.

Xu Jinfei took Hua Manxi's hand and responded modestly: "It's not cold, uncle bothered." ”

He called this uncle, and Uncle Hua smiled like a flower, and he was more energetic in his work.

Hua Manxi's face flushed again, shook his hand, lowered his voice, and said coquettishly: "What's the name, who is your uncle?" ”

"Your uncle is my uncle." Xu Gongzi was frank, and he was about to take Hua Manxi's hand and enter the door.

Hua Manxi broke away and said in a low voice: "Then is my mother your mother?" You have the ability to call me mother, you don't have the guts, so please restrain yourself, okay? lest my mother nag me again. ”

Thisβ€”

Xu Gongzi really wanted to call his mother, but Hua Manxi was right, her mother might not get angry, so she drove him to Peach Blossom Village for the New Year.

Hua Manxi saw that he confessed, gave him a roll of the eyes, and then turned around and went to the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Xiao Yezi and Hua Hua Orchid are in full swing, scooping up rice cakes, sugar glutinous cakes, as well as fried peanuts to be coated with sugar, fried melon seeds, pickled melon sugar, a dazzling array of dishes, full of kitchen stoves and tables.

"Make some more champion cakes, Komatsu is now a scholar, and we also make champion cakes at home." Hua Lanxiang said to Xiao Yezi.

"Wow, it's so fragrant, so deliciousβ€”" Hua Manxi tasted them one after another, and exclaimed, "It seems that my talent for cooking is really inherited from my mother, and it's so delicious!" ”

Hua Lanxiang put down the dough in her hand, glared at Hua Manxi, and said coldly: "Don't think that you are flamboyant, I won't scold you, what do you look like, you are an unmarried girl's house, you follow him to spend the night outside, let the neighbors know, what do you say about you?" Do you want your reputation to be gone, are you still married? ”
