What she wants to do for everyone at noon today is Cantonese cuisine, which belongs to one of the eight major cuisines, with rich materials, fine selection of materials, excellent skills, clear but not light, fresh but not vulgar, tender but not raw, oily but not greasy.

Hua Manxi's dishes this time, in addition to white-cut chicken, also have steamed pork ribs with soy sauce, pineapple sluggling pork, stuffed tofu and cabbage in soup, which are also famous for Cantonese cuisine.

Clean the whole chicken, boil water, soak the chicken in a pot of boiling water for a while, take it out, pass through cold water, then soak it in boiling water for a while, take it out again, and repeat three times.

Add ginger slices, green onion knots, and sand ginger slices to the pot, put the chicken back in, add an appropriate amount of salt, wait for the water to boil again, turn off the heat, cover the pot and simmer for two quarters of an hour.

After removing the chicken, drain the soup slightly, touch it with a thin layer of salt and sesame oil while it is hot, and let it cool before chopping into pieces.

As for the chicken broth for braised chicken, you can add some carrots, shiitake mushrooms, and yams to simmer for a while to make the chicken broth sweeter.

Chopping chicken is also a technical job, first go to the head and feet, then cut off the legs, wings, and finally the chicken ribs, before the chicken breast is chopped, you need to pat the back with a knife to make a shape.

And the essence of white-cut chicken is actually in that bowl of dipping sauce.

For this bowl of dipping sauce, you need to crush ginger, garlic, and sand ginger, drizzle with hot oil, and sprinkle with chopped green onions and salt.

As for steamed pork ribs with soy sauce, it is easier to make, the best pork chops are cleaned, this pork chops must not be completely lean, they must be fat and thin, so that the steamed ones are delicious.

After draining the water, add cooking wine, minced ginger, minced garlic, tempeh, cornstarch, a pinch of salt, soy sauce, a little sugar, stir well, and marinate for a while.

After marinating, put it in a saucer and steam it for two quarters of an hour.

Stuffed tofu, Hua Manxi did it once in Huajia before, that is, after seasoning the meat filling, stuffing it into the tofu, then frying the tofu, and simmering it in sauce.

The last dish is cabbage in soup, this dish has to be complicated, there are complicated methods, seafood, milk, etc., but there are also simple ways to cook at home.

Hua Manxi naturally chose a simple approach, she cleaned the cabbage, boiled the oil, added minced garlic and stir-fried until fragrant, after putting in the cabbage, scooped a large spoonful of chicken soup from the chicken soup pot and put it into the pot, after covering the pot, the cabbage was boiled soft and ready to get out of the pot.

After the four dishes and one soup were ready, Li Qiuqiu also came back from the backyard, she washed the farm tools, washed her hands and feet, and complained to Hua Manxi: "Am I here to learn to cook or to learn to grow vegetables!" How long do I have to plant such a large piece of land? ”

"Why don't I go grow vegetables and you cook?" Hua Manxi smiled and asked as she pulled the steamed rice out of the pot.

"What kind of thing is this, then Xu Gongzi only recognizes the dishes you make, how much food I sent him, and people didn't pay attention to me." When Li Qiuqiu said this, a trace of blush suddenly appeared on his face, and he said timidly, "Besides, it's good for me to grow vegetables, so it's quite easy to call the breeze." ”

Hua Manxi: "......" This little girl really gives full play to the advantages of seeing one and loving one.

After lunch, the breeze and light clouds helped Hua Manxi to fill the chili sauce, Li Qiuqiu burned the fire, Hua Manxi continued to fry the other two flavors of chili sauce, while Xu Shizi was settling accounts and writing notes on the side.

Uncle Zhao looked at the people in this courtyard in full swing, and only felt that his son-in-law had really fallen! Really depraved! It's almost time for the little village girl to become a country man!

Just as he was worried, the guard named Zhao Wu came in again, and reported in his ear in a low voice: "Master Zhao, something is digging!" ”

Uncle Zhao's pupils widened suddenly, and he said in disbelief: "Really! That's great! ”

Iron ore is digging! As long as they are forged into weapons, the day when they will return to Beijing is just around the corner! No need to hide here anymore!

Uncle Zhao was overjoyed, and hurriedly reported the matter to Xu Jinfei, Xu Jinfei was stunned for a moment, then put down the pen in his hand and went to the back mountain with Zhao Wu.

The iron ore is digging, but he still has to find the craftsmen who strike iron to come back in order to build weapons, and where did he go to find so many craftsmen who beat iron at once? It also needs to be quiet.

Hua Manxi naturally didn't know about this stubble, after she packed five hundred cans of chili peppers, she borrowed the carriage in the house and wanted to go to the town to deliver goods, Xu Gongzi was nowhere to be seen, Qingfeng and Danyun discussed, this time Qingfeng sent Huamanxi to the town.

Hua Manxi was very grateful and promised to treat them to a big dinner tonight.

After getting into the car, she suddenly felt that something was wrong, wasn't she here to be a cook? Why do you have to pay for dinner at the Lord's house?

The car walked on the county road as before, but before it reached the town, Hua Manxi was suddenly turned upside down, and the whole person almost couldn't sit still, planted to the side, and kowtowed his head fiercely.

"Ouch, Breeze, what's wrong?" Hua Manxi exhaled in pain, rubbed his forehead, and thought to himself, he must have grown a big bag.

"The wheels are stuck, I'll get out of the car and take a look." The breeze replied and then jumped out of the car.

Hua Manxi naturally couldn't sit still, opened the curtain, and got out of the car with the light breeze to see.

Sure enough, there was suddenly a big pothole on this part of the road, and there were stones in the pit, which stuck the wheels.

"What should I do?" Hua Manxi raised his head, the trees were so dense that the sunlight could barely shine in.

"I'll find a stick to pry the stone open." Qingfeng carefully observed the wheels, and said to Hua Manxi, "Hua Xiaocai, you go back to the car and sit down first, I'll go find a stick, and by the way, see if there are any farmers in the surrounding farmland, and call to help push the car." ”

Hua Manxi nodded, watching the breeze walk towards the farmland next door.

She was about to lift the curtain and get into the car, but suddenly felt a tingling pain in the back of her neck, and before she could look back, her eyes turned black and she fainted.

I don't know how long it took for Hua Manxi to wake up leisurely, she only felt a sharp pain in the back of her neck, and she moved her hands and feet, and they were all tied.

She was kidnapped.

Hua Manxi clearly understood in his heart that he had made this decision, and it was still a premeditated kidnapping.

Dig a pit in her path, jam the carriage, divert the breeze, and then lurk in the shadows and abduct her.

Hua Manxi was very nervous, and slowly opened his eyes, only to see that it was pitch black, only sporadic firelight jumped in through the paper window.

She slowed her breath and calmed down to listen to the sound, there was only the sound of rushing water around her, and when she smelled it carefully, there was a faint salty smell.

It's on the pier!

Who kidnapped her? For what? Isn't it because of the chili sauce recipe? Are these people in the same group as the people who hurt my uncle last time?

Just guessing, suddenly a sound of footsteps came, Hua Manxi wanted to pretend to be dizzy, but before he saw him, he heard his voice first, and the voice of the person who came said in a rough voice: "According to the time of the medicine, the village girl should be awake." ”

It turned out that not only did he stun her, but he should have fed her sweat medicine, no wonder he felt sore.

As soon as the words fell, the door was pushed open, the oil lamp was lit, and Hua Manxi looked up and met two people wearing night clothes and masks.

They also covered it up, not wanting themselves to recognize their true colors, it seems that they are only seeking money, and have no intention of killing them, and if they plan to kill themselves, they will not care whether they see their true colors.

"Yo, this little village girl is quite calm, she is really not an ordinary person, if she were to change to another little girl, she would have been crying and crying a long time ago." The man who came first approached Hua Manxi with a lamp and shook it in her face.

"Tsk, it's pretty to look good, it's a pity to sell it in the kiln." He pretended to sigh.

"Yes, it's really the same age as flowers, if it is sold in the kiln, thousands of people ride and taste it, it's a pity." The man who followed echoed him, his voice rough and unnatural.

Hua Manxi glanced at him keenly, this person deliberately concealed his voice, why? Because you know him?

Sold in a kiln? What kind of grudge does she have against him? Her mind quickly flashed over the people she had offended, except that Lou Chunfeng, who came to buy chili sauce today, let herself refuse, this can't be offended, right?

Hua Manxi took a deep breath, and while secretly groping for his hands tied behind his back, he could untie the ropes, while pretending to be very scared, and cried in a low voice: "Two big brothers, I don't know where the little girl offended you?" But don't sell me to the Qinglou before, sell me to the Qinglou, but it's also a few dozen taels of silver, if you let me go home, my family will be bankrupt, and I will make up the silver to give the two strong men——"

"Haha, haha, your family has money? Then tell me how much money you can get out of your house! The man at the head laughed and deliberately teased.

Hua Manxi was crying, making a very panicked appearance, and said intermittently: "One hundred taels, one hundred taels of silver can also be made up!" ”

"Poof." The man at the head sneered again.

"Stop making a fuss and get down to business." The man behind him reminded him.

"That's right, I heard that you can make that Jin Yutang's chili sauce, as long as you write down the recipe for making chili sauce, and after we make this chili sauce, we will let you go, how about it?" The man took out a pen and paper from his bosom and rested it on the table in front of Hua Manxi.

Hua Manxi glanced at the man, nodded, and responded, "I can write a recipe to you, you have to speak." ”

"Of course, I'm dignified—of course I'm talking!" The man stepped forward and untied Hua Manxi's hands, but he kept a heart and did not untie the shackles of his feet.

Hua Manxi moved his body, picked up his pen, and began to write prescriptions.

It's just that the man in black looked at her for a while, but she didn't write, she just drew chili peppers on it.

"What do you draw! Tell you to write a recipe! The man in black roared at Hua Manxi.

"I-I can't write the word chili, I don't know much, I can only draw." Hua Manxi said timidly.
