"You're the one who blows, you're from Kyoto, have you seen the world?" Li Yuehui smiled coldly and said to Chen Xiuya, "Then I want to ask the two of you, do you know what kind of dish the peerless Shuangjiao Qinglong will be?" What is a group of ants fighting black bears? What kind of dish is it for mother and son to meet across the river? Have you eaten it? ”

As soon as these words came out, Hua Manxi couldn't help but slightly raise the corners of her lips, on weekdays, she saw that Li Yuehui was weaker and weaker, and she didn't talk much, she didn't expect to be provoked, but she had a little bit of Wang Shishi's appearance, and she deserved to be a cousin.

These words really stopped Chen Xiuya, she raised her eyes and glanced at Shen Miaolan, and Shen Miaolan's eyes also flashed with amazement. But after all, it was the eldest lady who had seen the world, and she quickly regained her proud appearance, glanced at Li Yuehui and Hua Manxi, and said slowly: "We are not cooks, naturally we don't know what dishes are, we just can't get used to eating southern dishes, we want to eat some northern dishes, and I heard that this chef Hua has superb cooking skills, so I took the liberty to mention this, since Chef Hua looks down on us and is unwilling to cook, then we will naturally not be reluctant." ”

There are needles hidden in these words, which is unpleasant to listen to, but Li Yuehui can't refute it, and her face is blue with anger.

"I'm really reluctant to do it, I'm sorry." Hua Manxi didn't have any affection for them, after all, she didn't live in Wang's mansion, so she directly lowered her face and said indifferently.

"Well, why are you so ignorant, a cook! When Lao Wang comes back, I'll talk about him! How can any kind of person be able to mix poems together! And you, too! As he spoke, he glared at Li Yuehui fiercely.

Li Yuehui looked at Hua Manxi with a blank eye, how aggrieved she was.

"Miss Li, how long has Miss Wang been out, has Lord Chen gotten up?" Hua Manxi didn't bother to take care of them, so he found a place to sit down, poured himself a cup of tea, and slowly tasted it.

"Shishi and my uncle went to collect the accounts early in the morning, Chen, Lord Chen hasn't gotten up yet." Li Yuehui said in a difficult tone.

"No rules." Seeing that Hua Manxi was not polite at all, Master Li was even more displeased in his heart, and muttered.

However, Shen Miaolan was calmer, but comforted: "Uncle Li, don't be angry, the rules in this small place are definitely not as strict as those in Kyoto, we are here to play, just follow the customs, by the way, I brought some snacks from Kyoto, why don't you try it." ”

After Shen Miaolan finished speaking, the accompanying maid hurriedly brought two boxes of snacks, and as soon as she opened them, she could smell a faint aroma.

"This is chestnut cake, this is a two-color bean cake, they are all famous dim sum in Kyoto, uncle try it, and this is the tea I brought, it is a tribute from His Majesty, called March Spring, Qiu Ju, make a pot of tea." Shen Miaolan introduced.

As soon as he heard that it was a tribute, Master Li's eyes lit up, he had lived for so many years, but he had never tasted a tribute! That's what the Emperor tasted!

"Miss Shen is polite, polite, so polite." Master Li was flattered and said continuously.

When Li Yuehui saw her father like this, she couldn't help but want to brush her sleeves away, but Chen Xiuya didn't seem to have long eyes, so she took a box of snacks and handed it to her, and said in a strange manner: "Your food in the south is really tasteless, why don't you taste our dim sum in the north?" ”

Li Yuehui was about to get angry, but Hua Manxi gently grabbed her hand, took a piece of two-color bean cake from the box, and said softly: "Miss Chen's kindness is difficult, but we are disrespectful." ”

Li Yuehui naturally couldn't quarrel alone, and seeing that Hua Manxi was so able to bend and stretch, she could only pick up a piece of chestnut cake and said in a low voice: "Thank you." ”

"No thanks, such pastries, we just use them on the road to prevent hunger, and we are all rewarding people in Kyoto." Chen Xiuya saw that Hua Manxi and Li Yuehui both put the pastry to their lips, and said triumphantly.

This is obviously humiliating them and comparing them to the subordinates in her house.

Even if Li Yuehui is not very smart, she can hear this off-string sound, the chestnut cake in her hand is not thrown, nor is she eating, so angry that her fingers tremble.

However, Hua Manxi was indifferent, ate a piece of two-color bean cake, and glanced at the chestnut cake in Li Yuehui's hand, and said lightly: "Then it seems that your big families in Kyoto are not so good to their subordinates, and you don't need to have something to do if you want to reward them, this two-color bean cake is just that, although the taste is not good, but the appearance is at least right, but this chestnut cake is really too perfunctory, and it is not even thoughtful." ”

"What nonsense are you talking about! You will eat chestnut cake at the palace banquet, you cook in a small place, what do you know! Chen Xiuya glanced at Hua Manxi and said coldly.

"Miss Chen, hasn't she eaten authentic chestnut cake yet? It just so happens that I suddenly want to eat chestnut cake today, so let you dip it and taste the authentic chestnut cake. Hua Manxi stood up, smiled slightly, and went to the kitchen.

Li Yuehui didn't want to stay with her father, so she hurriedly threw the chestnut cake in her hand on the table and trotted to follow Hua Manxi.

When Hua Manxi arrived in the kitchen, all the maids recognized her, and when they saw her enter the kitchen, they knew that there was something delicious, and they were all happy to help her.

After Hua Manxi first took some chestnuts and cooked them in the pot, he asked the maid to help peel off the inner and outer skins of the chestnuts, and then cooked the chestnuts in the pot, took out the water, dried them, and pounded them into chestnut puree.

Take the white sugar glutinous rice flour and cold water into the pot and boil, turn off the heat after it is viscous, add chestnut puree and osmanthus sauce and stir evenly, let it cool, and then cut it into pieces.

This is the osmanthus chestnut cake, after the flower is done, let everyone taste it, and replace the osmanthus sauce with milk, make a milky chestnut cake, chestnut puree made more, and there is a leftover, she made the remaining chestnut puree into a puff pastry chestnut cake.

Puff pastry chestnut cake is not difficult to make, that is, the chestnut puree is sweetened and fried with the filling, then the dough, lard, and ghee skin are used to wrap the chestnut filling into the puff pastry, and then put it in an earthen oven to brush oil and honey and bake it.

Since it is a sweet pastry, it is necessary to use some drinks to eat it, otherwise it will be too dry, then Shen Miaolan uses a tea leaf, and it is said to be a tribute, since Hua Manxi accepted their provocation, there is no need to let them, so she also made hot milk tea.

There is nothing added to this milk tea, what I eat is the original flavor of milk tea, eat while the pastries, not to mention many sisters, she boiled a big bucket, and the maids and maids who helped shared a bowl.

As soon as she brought the food to the front hall, Wang Shishi and Master Wang came back.

Wang Shishi has never seen his person, but heard his voice first.

"Wow, it's so fragrant, it's so fragrant, why do I smell the smell of the river?" She stepped into the door, and sure enough, she saw Hua Manxi filling the bowl with milk tea in the bucket.

"Wow, you boiled milk tea, my favorite, my favorite, although those masters are all out of the school, but I don't taste as good as you make." Wang Shishi was very surprised, and quickly took a bowl of milk tea and drank it, and there were delicately shaped chestnut cakes and chestnut cakes on the table, and she naturally saw it.

"This is delicious, I happened to be hungry, and I went out without eating breakfast today." Wang Shishi held the milk tea bowl in her left hand and the pastries in her right hand, one bite at a time, one bite at a time, and she couldn't stop.

This osmanthus chestnut cake is sweet and delicious, the aroma is long, the milky chestnut cake is fragrant and soft, and the chestnut cake is crispy on the outside, soft and glutinous on the inside, all have their own characteristics.

Wang Shishi tasted it all over again, and drank most of the bowl of milk tea, only then did she feel much better in her stomach, and her sharp eyes found that there were two delicate boxes of dim sum on the table.

"What is this?" She took a piece of chestnut cake from the brocade box and put it in her mouth.

Her action made Chen Xiuya and Shen Miaolan both cast their eyes on Wang Shishi.

However, Wang Shishi disappointed them, she didn't swallow the piece of pastry, chewed it and spit it out, and said in disgust: "Ahh ”

Chen Xiuya: "......."

Shen Miaolan: "........"

Not to mention the two of them, even Master Li felt very embarrassed, coughed twice, took the milk tea handed over by Li Yuehui, and took a sip of it pretending to cover up.

Hey, don't say it, this milk tea is indeed well done, fragrant and sweet, with a tea fragrance, and it won't be very greasy to drink.

He ate a few pieces of that pastry just now, and he was really about to choke to death, and the tea made by Miss Shen's maid was still hot and couldn't be drunk, this bowl of milk tea was simply too timely.

"Manxi is here, I made pastries, thank you for your hard work." At this time, Master Wang, who was walking behind, would also come, and Hua Manxi scooped another bowl and handed it to him.

Master Wang drank a bowl of milk tea, ate two more pastries, and said, "It's still Manxi's craftsmanship, I also ate two pastries in the shop just now, and the taste is not as good as yours." ”

"By the way, Manxi, I got out all your profits from yesterday in the shop and brought them to you." Wang Shishi put down the tea bowl, took out a large stack of silver tickets from his arms and handed them to Hua Manxi, and a discerning person could see at a glance that there were tens of thousands of taels!

"This is yesterday, today and tomorrow will be the whole account, I can't stand it every day, I want to play today." Wang Shishi said.

A day? Ten thousand taels?

Chen Xiuya and Shen Miaolan glanced at each other, and their eyeballs almost fell off.

At this time, a maid came in outside and reported: "Master, Master Qin, Master Wang, Boss Zhang and others are here." ”

"Oh, they're also here to give Manxi a share of profits, please come in."

And the ones who send money? Chen Xiuya glanced at Shen Miaolan silently, and Shen Miaolan, who had always been calm and elegant in front of her, trembled a little.

"Chef Hua, you are really here, I went to your shop and didn't see you, sure enough, it was here, this is yesterday's profit, three thousand taels, you take it first." Boss Qin said.
