Chapter 52: A bowl of shrimp and fresh wonton
"Uncle believes in you, you are a good boy." The eldest aunt wiped the corners of her eyes without a trace, not wanting Hua Manxi to see that she was crying, so she quickly turned around, "I'll go and call Xiao Song." ”
Hua Manxi actually saw it, and pretended to be fine, so he naturally said, "Then I'll go down and clean up." ”
She bought fresh shrimp, but this shrimp is really expensive, and she doesn't dare to buy more, after all, she needs money everywhere now, and what she wants to do today is wonton!
She first added salt to warm water and began to make wonton skin with noodles, the noodles made must be hard, there is a saying called soft dumplings hard noodles, and wonton skin must be rolled out with a dough as hard as noodles.
Once you've rolled out the wonton skin, it's time to make the filling.
Chop the lean meat bought from the market today, peel the prawns and take the shrimp, mix the minced and lean meat, add minced ginger, a little pepper, a little soy sauce, a little sugar, some white sesame seeds, an appropriate amount of salt, and sprinkle some chopped green onions and stir well.
After the wonton is wrapped, put it directly into a pot of boiling water and blanch it, then use a colander to remove it and put it in a bowl.
The soup stock was made from the wild boar bone broth that had been boiled yesterday, and Hua Manxi put some soaked dried mushrooms, corn nuggets, and carrot cubes to boil again.
A bowl of wonton poured a spoonful of hot soup, sprinkled with a handful of chopped green onions, and a few drops of sesame oil she had just bought, and the smell of fragrant fragrance spread in the small stove.
She washed some of the kelp she brought back, still made a large pot of cold kelp shreds, and brought it out.
Cooking well, Uncle Hua and Aunt Liu happened to come together.
"It's just time to eat." Hua Manxi smiled, "I made a new dish, you guys hurry up and try it." ”
"What is this?" Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu picked up the floating wonton in the bowl with chopsticks, and said with some surprise, "This looks a bit like dumplings, but not like dumplings." ”
"It's a wonton, it's similar to a dumpling, and there's a filling in it, but the skin is thinner, and it has to be eaten with the broth." Hua Manxi beckoned, "Everyone, hurry up and taste this taste." ”
"Well, this, there's prawns in there!" Hana Komatsu was the first to eat the sweet taste of shrimp.
"And lean meat!" Uncle Liu was not to be outdone, "Sesame seeds are also available!" Chopped green onions are also available! ”
"Godfather is really a good tongue, and the sesame seeds have tasted it." Hua Manxi admired.
"What a good tongue, he's gluttonous!" Aunt Liu smiled and deliberately teased.
When he said this, everyone in the audience laughed.
"There was a lot of wild boar bone broth left yesterday, and this soup was stewed with half a pork bone, so I added some condiments and used it directly." Hua Manxi took a sip of the soup and felt that the soup was still fresh and sweet, and the aroma was tangy.
"This one tastes slippery, and the filling is fine, so it's delicious." The eldest aunt also said.
Hua Manxi saw that everyone was satisfied with the food, and quickly put forward the statement in his heart, and said: "That's the case, I see that the village is close to the official road, and there are many people who come and go in the past, most of them are merchants who come to buy seafood, I want to build a pavilion there, and sell this wonton, what do you think?" It doesn't take much time to eat a bowl of this wonton, but it is also full, so you don't have to delay eating a meal, and you don't have to go hungry. ”
"It's—that's a good idea!" Uncle Liu slapped the table, "This idea is good!" I won't tell you, Manxi, godfather, I have also thought about this method, but godfather has no skills, he wants to sell bowls of tea, but the merchant is the most stingy, if he sells tea and collects money, he will definitely not be happy, but the food is different, it must be possible! ”
"What's good!" Aunt Liu raised her face and glared at Uncle Liu, "Manxi is a girl after all, you let her go to set up a stall?" What kind of godfather are you? Do you know who the people who come and go on the official road? If there is something, how can a girl in Manxi deal with it? If you want me to say, isn't the son of the Xu family at the head of the village a chef? Why don't you let Manxi go there to be a cook? I heard that many people in the village went to try out the work, and I heard that the monthly money is quite a lot. ”
Hua Manxi heard about this on the way as soon as she came back, and she wondered in her heart, she originally thought that Xu Gongzi was going to invite her to be a cook regardless of his previous suspicions, and he was going to invite her to be a cook. She is also like a mirror in her heart, presumably because she is afraid that she will sit on the ground and raise the price, and want to turn passive into active.
But she wasn't so stupid to get into his sleeve like that. He invited the cook, and he was in a hurry, but not her.
What's more, this wonton stall, she must open it. Not for her, but also for the sake of giving her uncle and aunt a livelihood.
"Manxi, my aunt thinks your godmother is reasonable, you are a girl, it is a matter of getting married early, don't think about these things all day long, now the silver owed to the Ding family has been paid off, I told your uncle about Xiao Song's going to the school, and I will follow your uncle to the dock to transport sea goods in the future, and the family is farming, and your brother Yang will soon be able to take over the work, Xiao Song's tuition we will definitely make up, this year's silver, we will also return it to you, as a dowry for you to marry."
"Oh, uncle, you're here again, I still want to stay for a few more years, filial piety to my uncle and you, why do you always want to marry me off? The stall is open at the head of the village, what can happen, what kind of details do you care about his visitor, this is Peach Blossom Village, the village chief of Peach Blossom Village is my godfather, what can happen to my godfather's land? Hua Manxi couldn't imagine that his godmother and aunt would be so opposed to his stall, so he hurriedly wooed his godfather.
"Yes, although my old Liu doesn't have any great skills, he can still say a few words in Peach Blossom Village, Manxi, although you can do it with confidence, what is there to do for your godfather!" Uncle Liu was praised by Hua Manxi, and he was a little fluttering, and patted his chest and promised.
"Mother-in-law, you see that the village chief has said so, why don't you let Manxi try it? Manxi's craftsmanship is so good, if he cooks at home, wouldn't it be a waste? Besides, our rural people in the countryside are not as good as the daughters in the city, what kind of reputation, showing up or something, if you want me to say, the most important thing is that Manxi has silver in her hand, she has silver in her hand, and she will marry into her mother-in-law's family in the future, and she will speak a little harder. Uncle Hua thought about it and proposed in a low voice.
"Hey, that's a good point!" Uncle Liu smiled and said to Uncle Hua, "Boss Hua is an understanding person, you see that I am, my mother-in-law brought five taels of silver from my mother's house to follow me, and I don't dare to talk to her loudly now!" ”
"That's it! You were poor like that! If you don't have a father or a mother, it's just a broken grass house, besides me, who else is willing to marry you? Aunt Liu talked about the old things, and her face was flushed, and she said coquettishly.
"That godfather must have been a handsome guy when he was young!" Hua Manxi glanced at Aunt Liu and teased.
"Ghost girl! Just your goblin! Isn't! When your godfather was young, the entire Peach Blossom Village counted him as a good spirit! That's called a handsome! My father and my mother originally refused, but when they saw him, they agreed! Aunt Liu laughed as she spoke, already softening her attitude.
"Look, Manxi is so good at talking, she is originally a good trader, you have to ask her to cook and feed the pigs at home, don't you suffocate her? Since she has this idea, then we, as elders, should support her. In the end, Uncle Liu made a decision and decided, "In this way, in the past two days, Boss Hua and I will help you repair a shed, so that you can shelter from the sun and rain, you can prepare, it's okay." ”
"Thank you, godfather! Thank you, uncle! Hua Manxi saw that it was done, and he was happy, and sweetly sandwiched chopsticks between each of them, "Everyone eat quickly, this kelp silk is eaten with this wonton, just right, not greasy at all." ”
"By the way, aunt, is it okay to ask Brother Yang to help me make the car? It's best to use this car to open a stall. Hua Manxi suddenly asked.
"It should be almost well, it's been so many days, tomorrow your uncle will take Komatsu to the school and let your uncle ask." The eldest aunt saw that she was determined to do it, and she didn't want to say anything more, this child was a good child, and she knew it for their sake.
She just feels sorry for her, she feels so distressed, how can she make food so good? Smoky fire, wash and scrub -
Compared with the harmony and harmony on the Hua family's side, the Xu family's courtyard is gloomy and bleak.
Qingfeng was almost found because he listened to the corner of the wall on the roof, and he played abnormally in the panic, and after flying to the tree, he did not step on a good branch as overdue, but stepped on a dead branch, although he was blessed with martial arts, but he still fell not lightly, and his whole body hurt, and now he was rubbing his waist with Uncle Zhao's special medicinal wine.
"You're really not enough to accomplish and more than to lose! I asked you to inquire if the little village girl was not in good health, you had to listen on the roof, you just listened to the roof, and you almost were discovered, I forgive you, you actually fell! Oh my God, what kind of guards are these! Do you know how much I sell for a bottle of medicinal wine? ”
Uncle Zhao was so angry that he scolded Qingfeng aggressively.
"Okay, okay, Uncle Zhao, dissipate your anger, the money for this medicine and wine will be deducted from our salaries, okay?" Danyun's ears were calloused when he heard this, so he quickly interrupted Uncle Zhao's words and changed the topic, "Qingfeng, have you inquired about it?" Why didn't the little village girl come to recruit the cook today? ”
"The little village aunt took her brother to the school in the town today to sign up." "I also heard her aunt say that it seems that her retired ex-fiancé was teaching in the school, and asked the little village girl if he had met him—"
"Did the little village girl touch it?" Danyun's gossip heart began to burn again, and he hurriedly asked.
"Said it was touched—ahhhh You're going to murder your brother! The breeze howled.
