Chapter 25 Pan-fried fish and white porridge

Here, Hua Manxi and Hua Xiaosong were naturally unaware of being followed, counting money all the way, and they were so happy that they couldn't do it.

"Sister, how much did you sell today?"

"Sold thirty-six bowls of noodles, two hundred and sixteen yuan, a total of two taels of silver plus sixteen yuan!" Hua Manxi didn't expect that business would be so good today! Fortunately, I bought 90 yuan of flour yesterday, otherwise it would not be enough flour!

Today she has to buy a tael of flour!

"Wow, sister, you're amazing! Better than Daddy! Hua Xiaosong's eyes lit up, and he looked at Hua Manxi with great admiration, "Why didn't I find you so powerful before!" ”

Well, it's going to scare you to death if you say it! Hua Manxi was a little embarrassed, coughed twice, and said seriously: "Sister doesn't want to be so powerful, do you see my sister's sweat?" This is all forced, if it weren't for the Ding family's bullying too much, my sister wouldn't want to work so hard to earn money, and she would be at a dead end, only to know how powerful she is, she was forced out. ”

"That's right, sister, that uncle just now can really eat it." Hua Xiaosong suddenly said something out of bounds.

"Huh?" Hua Manxi Zhangji was confused.

"I sent noodles in just now, they only had three people, but they asked for four bowls of noodles, and after eating, they were not full, and they still had to cook white porridge, do you say that this can't be eaten? My dad was full after eating a bowl of noodles! Hua Xiaosong said secretly, "Rich people are different, they eat a lot of food, just now I sent noodles in, and he still wanted to give me two pennies to buy sugar, I didn't dare to ask for it." ”

"In this way, if it's not right, it's just a gesture, there's no need to ask for money, so it seems that our noses are shallow." Hua Manxi nodded, touched Xiao Song's head, and corrected, "It's not that rich people eat more, really rich people eat less, but delicately, eat chicken, only eat leg meat, eat fish, and only eat the most tender chopsticks." ”

"What? Is there still such a thing? What a waste! Sister, how do you know? Have you ever had money? Hua Xiaosong asked after exclaiming.

Ahem, Hua Manxi was asked again.

Although she is not a rich person, she can be regarded as rich. But I couldn't say this, so I had to talk nonsense: "This is all my mother wrote to me to say, my mother works as a cook in the Yuanwai Mansion, and the Yuanwai, that's a rich man." And ah, it doesn't have to be rich to know what life a rich person has, in this world, there is a method called reading, you can't travel thousands of miles, read thousands of books, there are not only things in the book, but also the truth of the past and the present, and wait for my sister to earn enough money, my sister will send you to the school to study. ”

"Really?" Hua Xiaosong exclaimed, looking at Hua Manxi's eyes were about to glow.

"Nature is true." Hua Manxi sincerely promised.

The two sisters and brothers quickly walked to the stream, and Hua Manxi stopped Hua Xiaosong and said, "Xiaosong, stop, let's go down to the creek to catch some small fish and go back to eat." ”

"Okay, I'm the best at catching fish, but small fish are not delicious." Hanakomatsu Road.

"It's delicious, you have to believe in my sister." Hua Manxi took off the colandered spoon for fishing noodles from the small cart, and also took down the pot with meat sauce, intending to catch fish.

Put the pot of meat sauce in the water, the remaining meat sauce on it suddenly attracted small fish, Hua Manxi looked at the fish, scooped it down with a colander, and fished out several of them, but the hole of the colander was a bit big, and only the big ones could be fished, and the small ones ran away.

Then, the sister and brother changed a few places, and they got drenched all over, and finally caught a lot of small fish cubs.

"Alright, let's go home." Hua Manxi was satisfied, and returned to Hua's house with the fish larvae.

Hua Manxi handed over the pots and bowls to Hua Xiaosong to clean, and after washing his hands, he took a small casserole, washed rice and put water, and began to boil porridge on a high fire.

There is a saying called boiling porridge over fierce fire, stewing meat over slow fire, boiling porridge, the heat should be large, so that the porridge can be boiled viscous and soft, and stewed meat, the heat should be small, the meat simmered on slow fire is the most delicious, enough time to let the meat slowly fuse with the soup, and finally it can be flavored for three points, soft and ripe.

After the porridge boiled, Hua Manxi stirred it, took off the lid and continued to boil, and while waiting for time, she killed the small fish, washed it, and salted it to taste.

Heat the oil in the pan, fry slowly over low heat, fry one side until golden brown, and then turn over and fry until the small fish is golden and crispy, and it is fragrant.

After the fish was fried, Hua Manxi tasted one, but the marinating time was not long enough, and it was a little light.

She thought about it, took ginger, garlic and shallots, and chopped perilla leaves, stir-fried them with hot oil, boiled a small bowl of dipping sauce, and poured them on the small fish.

The remaining ginger, garlic and shallots can be used to mix cucumber shreds, wash and cut the cucumbers finely, a small spoon of salt, oil, ginger, garlic and shallots, stir well, simple and refreshing, crisp and greasy.

After the dish was cooked, the pot of porridge happened to be thick and soft and glutinous, and Hua Manxi took out the porridge and put it in a large bowl.

When I was about to look for the food box, I suddenly found that the food box that delivered the food at home was taken away by the man in black last night!

Hua Manxi rummaged through the kitchen, and finally had to find a wooden basin to wash his face, put all the porridge and vegetables in it, cover it with a pot lid, and go to the village.

"Uncle, I'm here." Although the distance is not far, on a hot day, Hua Manxi still walked out of the sweat.

"Thank you for your hard work." Uncle Zhao looked at Hua Manxi with a smile, took the wooden basin in her hand, and saw a large bowl of hot white porridge in the basin, as well as a small plate of fried fish and a small dish of cucumber shreds, with contrasting colors, and I had a great appetite when I looked at it.

"Uncle, the head of this fish boy is a little bitter, if you don't like to eat it, you can not eat it." Hua Manxi said calmly, "I'll take the pot back tomorrow, I'll go first." ”

"Okay, thank you." Uncle Zhao smiled and watched Hua Manxi leave with a kind expression.

Xu Dashizi had diarrhea last night, and he was hungry for most of the day today, and his internal organs were protesting violently at this moment.

As soon as Uncle Zhao put the dishes on the table, he smelled the aroma.

As soon as I looked up, I saw the light side dishes and white porridge on the table, and I was quite relieved.

Uncle Zhao still understands him!

"Childe, eat, I'm going to get sick if I've been hungry for a long time." Uncle Zhao brought chopsticks and handed them to Xu Jinfei.

"This porridge is boiled soft, the entrance is warm to the stomach, the cucumber shreds are refreshing and crispy, and the little fish is crispy and delicious, with a little less flavor, but it is just right to dip it in this ginger and garlic, Uncle Zhao bought the food here, but you can invite it to be a cook."

Xu Shizi, who was holding a grudge, almost didn't want to repay the grace of saving his life, and said with a sigh.

"Hey, you still have a vision, Childe, or the little village girl who sells noodles, I just said, how is she cooking?" Uncle Zhao clapped his hands and felt very happy, "Then it's decided?" ”

Speaking of the little village aunt who sold noodles, Xu Dashizi subconsciously felt a cramping pain in his abdomen, and if he was careless, the small fish in his mouth did not have time to chew it, and the little thorn was stuck in his throat.

"Uh-uh, uh-uh-" Xu Shizi let out a painful whimper.

"What? Childe, what's wrong with you? Uncle Zhao stomped his feet, hating iron and not steel, "You are almost twenty years old, how can you eat a fish and get stuck!" It's good to chew this little fish! Really! the old man's heart! ”

Uncle Zhao was very helpless, so he hurriedly asked Qingfeng to borrow a bottle of vinegar and poured it into Xu Jinfei's throat.

This choking sour taste made Xu Shizi spit out the two mouthfuls of porridge that he had eaten in his mouth, and the whole person was almost about to collapse.

Danyun hurriedly brought tea and asked Xu Jinfei to rinse his mouth, Xu Jinfei tossed like this, the whole person was almost wasted, and he fell on the bed softly.

"Uncle Zhao, why is the son's body so weak?" Light Breeze was a little worried.

"Childe was injured this time, and he was poisoned again, and he vomited too much blood during detoxification, which did damage his qi and blood, and he had diarrhea all night, and his body was indeed weak." Uncle Zhao sighed, picked up the white porridge on the side, and was about to feed Xu Jinfei.

Once bitten by a snake and afraid of the well rope for ten years, Xu Jinfei was full of rejection and fear of the food made by Hua Manxi, and kept shaking his head in refusal.

"Uncle Zhao, Childe's body needs to be repaired, let's hire a cook." The light clouds were also worried.

"Okay, I'll go find that little girl who sells noodles." Uncle Zhao clapped his hands and immediately stood up and walked out.

Xu Dashizi, who was still dying, heard this, and his eyes suddenly turned black, and the whole person fainted.

Uncle Zhao had just gone out of the door when he happened to bump into the disguised guards he sent to investigate Huamanxi.

"Master Zhao, it's all clear." The man lowered his voice and said clearly, "That girl's name is Hua Manxi, her mother works as a cook in the town's Yuanwai Mansion, her father is unknown, she has lived with her uncle and aunt since she was a child, and a few days ago because she went up the mountain to pick wild vegetables, she was ruined, and the Ding family was originally scheduled to be in the south of the village, so the Ding family withdrew......"

The guards told Hua Manxi about everything, and in the end, he paused, and then said with a serious expression: "Master Zhao, the little one asked the secret guard, they found the prince in the Hua family, and the jade pendant of the prince seems to have been given to the girl of the Hua family." ”

"What? All the jade pendants with you have been given? "Uncle Zhao was a little surprised, the prince was seriously injured at the time, the old poison attacked again, and the wound worsened when he came back just now, and there should be a fever.

Presumably it was this little village girl who saved him......

But a little village girl who was ruined and retired, could it be that she had other plans to save him? Her reputation is ruined, and the prince looks so good......

Uncle Zhao was entangled in every way, and his heart was heavy.

If this little village girl really has ulterior motives, then she must not be invited to be a cook. Doesn't this give her a chance to get close to the prince? What kind of character is the prince? It's not something that a ruined village girl can think of.

"Zhao Wu, you go to the restaurant in the town to inquire and see if you can find a master with better cooking skills to come back." Uncle Zhao sighed slightly and commanded.

Now is the critical moment, the son can't make a mistake, if the little girl really sees the true face of the child...... Then you can't stay.

It's a pity for those delicious noodle soups!!
