Chapter 126: Fighting in the Kitchen
Hua Manxi naturally knew that this was a scene, but he was just looking for an excuse to go into the kitchen.
"Thank you very much." Hua Manxi nodded, followed her, and went to the kitchen where the next person cooked.
Although there are no expensive ingredients in the kitchen used by the subordinates, they are all coarse grains, or chicken heads and chicken feet left by the master, but fortunately, the Sun Mansion is also big enough, and the ingredients are also available, so it should not be a problem to make some food.
was washing the board and was about to start cooking, but a person crept in to the kitchen first, it was the aunt Niu who made a mockery just now.
"Niu Er's family! What are you doing sneaking into the kitchen in the middle of the night! "Zhao Haoxi is in charge of the two kitchens, but the second Niu is the cook who cooks the dishes on the master's side, and the second aunt Niu is the cook who cooks the maid's meal.
Zhao Xixiao saw it in his eyes, but it was not easy to say about them, if he did, they would still lose their temper, and when the time came, if they delayed people's dinner, not only the master would blame, but the inferior people would also complain, and Zhao Xixiao would be angry!
"Ouch, in the middle of the night, I saw the kitchen lights on, and I thought I was robbed, I don't want it to be Zhao Hao!" That Aunt Niu insinuated that Zhao Xixiao was a thief.
"I see you're a thief shouting to catch a thief! What are you doing in the middle of the night without sleeping, staring at the kitchen all the time? Aren't you just going to be a thief? Zhao Xi snorted coldly, "This is Lan Xiang's daughter, Lan Xiang is very sick, I want her daughter to work for her tomorrow, as the manager of the kitchen, shouldn't I bring her to familiarize herself with the kitchen?" Or else she knows what she's going to do tomorrow? ”
"Ouch, the management is big, what about the big shelf, if I'm not mistaken, Hua Lanxiang seems to be chopping vegetables, will you chop vegetables? You taught her how to chop vegetables! "Aunt Niu didn't have the slightest weakness to be caught, she just came to the kitchen to smooth things, and today she secretly hid a dozen eggs out! Take this egg back and give it to her daughter-in-law!
"You!" Zhao Xixi was so angry that he couldn't say it for a while, his whole face turned black to the bottom of the pot, firstly, he was angry with Aunt Niu, and secondly, he was ashamed in front of Hua Manxi! She wanted to play a prestige in front of this girl, so that she could continue to honor herself with something good in the future, but she didn't want to be robbed by this aunt cow, and her face as a steward was swept away!
"I'm a steward, why should I chop vegetables! If you mess around again, tomorrow I will report to the account office in accordance with the master's regulations and deduct your monthly money! Zhao sighed a sigh of relief, raised his voice and reprimanded.
Sun Yuanwai's family rules are very strict, and if a person goes to the kitchen at night for no reason, he will be regarded as stealing food and will be fined 50 yuan!
As soon as she said this, Aunt Niu's face also fell, she glanced at Hua Manxi who was standing on the side, and then glanced at Zhao Xixi, who had a stern expression, and saw that she seemed to be real, so she glared at her viciously: "Okay, you go and deduct it!" You just go for the buckle! I don't believe it! If you dare to go, go ahead! ”
Aunt Niu didn't give up, scolded and threatened Zhao Xuan a few more words, and then reluctantly walked out of the kitchen.
Zhao Xixi saw that her five big and three thick backs finally disappeared in front of the door, and she was simply blocked in her chest in one breath, unable to swallow, and couldn't dissipate!
"Let you laugh, although I have been working in the house for a long time, and I have pulled out a small steward, but there are many big Buddhas at the bottom! The top has to be hidden, and the bottom has to be coaxed, and it is the gas of the sandwich! Hua Manxi saw it, and Zhao Xixi felt that he had no majesty as a steward, so he simply changed his face and complained about his suffering.
"Aunt Niu is indeed excessive, I don't know what she is fighting on?" Hua Manxi thought of today's decoction, Aunt Niu's ridicule, presumably she must have bullied her mother on weekdays, this tone, she must kiss her mother for her!
If she can't redeem her mother's contract, at least she must ensure that she will not be bullied in this mansion in the future.
"Hey, this is a long story, you can get some food for your mother first, I'll tell you slowly, don't pick too many ingredients like you, pick some separately, you know?" Zhao said.
Hua Manxi took a look at the shelf where the ingredients were placed, there were some yellowed vegetables on it, presumably leftovers from today, and some carrots, potatoes, melons and fruits, but there was no meat, she opened the rice bowl, but saw that there were more than a dozen eggs hidden inside.
"Hey, can I take the eggs here?" Hua Manxi asked out loud.
"Where do the eggs come from, the eggs used every day are counted, oh, I know, no wonder the old guy came to the kitchen in the middle of the night, it turned out to be hiding eggs!" Zhao Xixi reacted, gritted his teeth in anger, looked at Hua Manxi, and said fiercely, "It's boiled, it's all cooked, let your mother make up for your body, I'm also a little hungry." ”
Hua Manxi nodded, took out all the eggs, and planned to make a digestible potato egg cake and boil a little vegetable porridge.
Washing rice, took a small casserole, Hua Manxi skillfully began to make a fire to boil porridge, she soaked some fungus, and planned to chop it and put it in the porridge, the fungus can nourish the stomach.
The fungus was chopped, some vegetables of better color were picked and chopped, and half a carrot was shredded.
After the porridge boiled, Hua Manxi put the chopped fungus and shredded carrots into the porridge, put salt and oil, and continued to boil.
It wasn't until the porridge was almost ready that Hua Manxi poured the chopped vegetables into it and sprinkled some chopped green onions.
Here, the potatoes steamed on the peel are also steamed, she mashes the potatoes, and into the shredded carrots, knocks three eggs, stirs into a dough with flour, puts a little salt, a little pepper to taste, and then burns the oil over low heat, slowly fry in the pan, fry until the cake is fully cooked, and the two sides are slightly yellow, and then the pot is started.
Zhao asked Hua Manxi to use up all the eggs, and Hua Manxi naturally saw it.
When she steamed the potatoes, she put two bowls of egg custard to steam, steaming egg custard is simple and easy, and the taste is good, high nutrition, just pour a little soy sauce and green onion to taste after the pot.
These two bowls of egg custard, one bowl is for Zhao Xixi, the other is for his mother, and the remaining eggs are boiled in white water in Huamanxi, and two are divided into two for Zhao Xixi, and he takes three for himself.
"Zhao Haoxi, you can also serve a bowl of this vegetable porridge, and there are potato cakes, you can also take one." Hua Manxi is a person who can do things, and he gave everything to Zhao Xixi, and then he used the tray to eat, and quickly returned to Hua Lanxiang's room.
Then Zhao Xixi didn't pay attention to the process of Hua Manxi's cooking, and he was bent on nagging her about the two of them! It wasn't until Hua Manxi handed her the finished supper that she came back to her senses!
This food looks very good, and it seems to be better than her mother's craftsmanship.
Zhao Xixi secretly admired in her heart, thinking that Hua Manxi was really a good girl, and she actually had the idea of introducing her to her nephew! Anyway, she doesn't have a father, and Hua Lanxiang has soft ears, so you can save the dowry! Let's look at it for a few more days, while she is wishful thinking, she goes back to the room with food.
"Mother, I made something to eat, hurry up and eat some." Hua Manxi put the food on the table and helped Hua Lanxiang up again.
She took a bowl of vegetable porridge, blew it a little cold, brought it to Hua Lanxiang, fed her with a spoon, ate a few mouthfuls of porridge, and the potato cake was cooled, Hua Manxi handed the cake to Hua Lanxiang and let her eat the porridge.
Hua Lanxiang has a bad appetite these days, but she has eaten all this bowl of vegetable porridge and a potato cake, and she still feels a little unfinished.
"Manxi, is this what you did? The cake was delicious and also had the taste of eggs. Hua Lanxiang was very surprised, "I have been a cook for so many years, and I don't have this skill." ”
"It's an egg, mother, there's steamed egg custard here, you can eat some more." Hua Manxi brought the egg custard over again and let Hua Lanxiang eat it.
Hua Lanxiang ate most of the egg custard in a small bowl, and then she felt full.
"This egg is steamed and smoother than I made, who taught you?" Hua Lanxiang looked at Hua Manxi in surprise and asked.
"Oh, I learned it from Uncle Li in the village, Cousin Yang taught me to read and write, and I can also read books, Uncle Li gave me a recipe, I made it according to the method on the recipe, and I also read some books and found out by myself." Hua Manxi had no way to explain that he was crossing, so he could only hide it from both ends.
Fortunately, Hua Lanxiang believed it, and she looked at Hua Manxi in surprise: "Uncle Li, I know, but you are a girl, he is willing to teach you cooking?" ”
"He taught his daughter, and I played well with his daughter, and I learned by the way." Hua Manxi said again.
Hua Lanxiang was really persuaded by her, but she pulled the topic to her marriage.
"Manxi, you are going to get married at the end of the year, and your mother still has more than a year to expire, and half of her salary is still pressed in the house, but your mother has also saved a lot of dowry for you, and when you go home, take this dowry back, and let your aunt buy you a few dowries, and ensure that you will marry beautifully." Hua Lan said babblingly.
Hua Manxi saw that she was full, so she took a pair of chopsticks, filled the porridge and began to eat cakes.
Hearing her mother talk about her marriage, she hesitated, but still decided to tell the truth: "Mother, Ding Xiucai and I have already withdrawn." ”
"What? Divorced! Hua Lanxiang looked at Hua Manxi in disbelief, looking overblown, "It's so decent, why did you quit your family?" ”
"Hey, that's a long thing to say, as long as a piece of cloth." Hua Manxi was eating, and he casually persuaded, "I told you, don't get excited." ”
