"Isn't that your solution? How can I think of it in my brain? Zhao Xixiao these days, but he was squeezed by Niu Er miserably, and when he saw Hua Manxi, it was like seeing a savior, he took her hand and began to sue, "You don't know, you are not in the house these days, and Niu Er's tail has gone up to the sky!" Trouble me all day! I'm so aggrieved! ”

"Okay, okay, Zhao Hao, the old lady said that this flower chef is back, so quickly go to her yard to make a dish for her to taste, hurry up!" Xiao Yezi really couldn't stand it anymore, and hurriedly urged.

Zhao Xixi let go of his hand and led Hua Manxi to Mrs. Sun's yard.

However, when the old lady saw Chef Hua, who she was thinking about, the look of anticipation on her face suddenly fell.

"Zhao Haoxi, aren't you scolding my wife? Just this little girl, who looks like she is only a teenager, what kind of chef can she be? What kind of dishes can you make? The old lady glanced at Hua Manxi coldly and said displeasedly.

"Ouch, old lady, you just lend me ten guts, and I don't dare to scold you! Don't look at her young age, but she's a chef! If the old lady doesn't believe it, just say what you want to eat, and let her show you a hand! Zhao Xixi patted his chest and reassured.

The old lady Sun glanced at Hua Manxi at this time, but she still didn't believe it and said, "Then let her make a snack to taste!" My wife has a bad mouth, so don't make any shortbread! I can't bite it! ”

"Do as the old lady commands." Hua Manxi nodded obediently and followed the old lady's maid to the small kitchen.

"The old lady likes to eat sweet, but she can't eat too sweet, she likes to be soft, and she doesn't like soft and rotten, so you can watch and do it." The little maid who had brought her in said.

Ouch, this old lady is quite difficult to serve! It's even more difficult than Wang Shishi! At least Wang Shishi does whatever she eats, as long as it is delicious, there are no other requirements!

Hua Manxi thought for a while, and felt that this request was bread! Fluffy and not rotten, the sweetness is not high, making a honey bun, absolutely suitable!

She took out the flour and kneaded the dough with water, and after kneading, she added salt, lard, olive oil, egg liquid, milk, honey, etc. and kneaded them together, and then added the old noodles.

The reason for the old noodles is that there was no yeast in ancient times, so each time the dough is kneaded, a ball of noodles is left in the dough jar, and the new dough is added to the next time the dough is mixed to facilitate proofing, so it becomes old noodles.

After letting the dough rise, knead the dough again and exhaust it, cut it into the same size, roll it out into long strips, and roll it up to shape it into a flower.

Finally, mix the honey and olive oil into honey water, brush it evenly, then put it in the earthen oven of the scones and bake one side, then turn it over, brush it with water, and bake the other side.

During the baking period, Hua Manxi made another cup of almond syrup, crushed the shelled and peeled almonds into powder, filtered the magazine with gauze, took the almond flour and added milk rock sugar to boil, and a cup of rich and sweet almond syrup was ready.

Honey bread baked, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, sweet and fluffy, with a long taste, with a cup of fragrant, steaming almond syrup, it is a better afternoon tea.

The old lady Sun drank a whole bowl of almond syrup, ate two small breads, and was satisfied, then showed a smile and said to Zhao Xi: "This thing tastes really good, and it is not in vain that you have made so many trips to me." ”

"That is, who are you, ancestor, where do I dare to deceive you?" Zhao Xixi saw that she recognized the dishes made by Hua Manxi, and finally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, as long as the old lady chose Hua Manxi, even if Niu Er had the support of the eldest lady, she would not be able to turn over any storms.

However, the old lady Sun changed her words and said: "She has done a good job of this dim sum, but for a birthday banquet, it is not enough to make a few dim sum, after all, it is such a big banquet, she is just a little girl, where can she be competent?" I see, this birthday banquet is still more stable to be handed over to Master Niu Er, as long as she makes a few dim sums that she has never seen before, and adds a little color. ”

"This-this-" Zhao Xixi didn't expect such a turn of events at all, and was stunned for a while.

If you only let Hua Manxi make a few dim sums, this birthday banquet will be done well, and the credit is not on Niu Er's head! Isn't her effort in vain?

"Old lady, can you allow Manxi to say something?" Hua Manxi saw that Zhao Xixi was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, afraid that she would say something disgusting to this old lady Sun in a hurry, so she quickly interrupted them.

This old lady Sun is a very strong person, otherwise she would not have forced Sun Yuanwai to ask her back from the Wang family, since she has already made a decision, if Zhao Xixi questions and refutes again, it will only make the old lady unhappy.

"Say it." The old lady Sun thought that Hua Manxi wanted to speak for herself, so her face was not very good-looking, but because the dim sum she made just now was really appetizing, it was not good to directly put down her face and not let her say it.

However, unexpectedly, Hua Manxi did not speak for himself, but said: "The little chef thinks what the old lady said is reasonable, I am young, although I have no cooking skills, but I am indeed not as familiar with the matter of running the banquet in the mansion as Master Niu Er." However, when I was in charge of Wangfu, I once got a menu for a birthday banquet, and I wanted to borrow flowers to offer Buddha to the old lady. ”

She was humble and submissive, and she did not look displeased, but it made the old lady look at her differently.

Since she can be the head of a family like Wangfu, she still has some ability, besides, Wangfu is the richest man in Shishan County, and she is famous enough, and she has a good shot, and the menu she got in Wangfu is also a good thing, which they haven't seen in these small portals.

Mrs. Sun has always loved face, but Sun Yuanwai is a buckle search character, and has never held a birthday banquet for her in the whole county, and now there is a menu in Wangfu, and there is a chef who can be in charge of the kitchen in Wangfu, if you can make a show-

Her mind turned, and a gleam appeared in her eyes, and she said unhurriedly: "Then you can talk about it." ”

"Yes, old lady." Hua Manxi paused, and then said slowly, "This dish is good luck, the soup is as good as the long flowing water of the East China Sea, and then there is longevity than the old pine of Nanshan, the peach is a tribute, many children and grandchildren, the garden is full of spring, the auspicious stars shine high, the fortune is treasured, the life is 100 years old, and there is a dessert, called sweet reunion cake." ”

As soon as she said this, the old lady Sun was already stunned, and she was stunned for a long time before she patted her thigh, stood up and said, "Okay!" Good dish name! Good dish name! Gui Hao, hurry up and write it down, write it down, and let that Niu Er do it for me according to this recipe! ”

Gui Xixi didn't dare to refuse, aren't the series of words that come out of this all good words to celebrate his birthday? How did it become a dish? She hadn't heard of it either, and she didn't dare to ask, so she could only spread out the pen and paper and write it down according to what Hua Manxi said.

Hua Manxi didn't ask for it, and after retreating with interest, he and Zhao Xixi retreated together.

As soon as he got out of the yard, Zhao Xixi couldn't bear it anymore, and almost jumped up in anger, and said: "Manxi, why don't you fight for it, you just make a few dishes for the old lady to taste, it's absolutely impossible for her to refuse you!" It's good that you also gave this opportunity to Niu Er, and you have to make snacks for him to add color, isn't this better than not coming! ”

"Ouch, Zhao Hao, don't be angry." Hua Manxi smiled slightly, but did not get angry, but said in his chest, "This birthday banquet, the old lady will naturally beg me to make it for her, you can put a hundred hearts." ”

"Don't be too big, you even gave Niu Er a good menu, why would people beg you to make it?" Zhao asked in disbelief.

"Because of that menu, Niu Er can't make it at all." Hua Manxi said seriously, "This is not Wangfu's menu at all, it is all created by me, Niu Er just wants to break his head, and he can't think of what it is." ”

Zhao Xixiao realized it later, this little girl has no scheming, her scheming is deep, much more powerful than her.

"You're still amazing, you're still amazing!" Zhao Xixiao said sincerely.

Hua Manxi evoked a smile at this time, suddenly stood still, and said to Zhao Xixi: "Zhao Xixi, I am not here during this time, my mother and her, what is wrong?" ”

"Your mother? Why do you ask that? Your mother is a good person, for so many years, for you, I haven't thought about marrying anyone, I'm afraid that I will get married, and I can't take care of it, so you will be wronged. Zhao Xi glared at Hua Manxi and hurriedly said.

"No, you misunderstood, I think my mother is not happy to do things in the Sun Mansion, is there something bullying her?" Hua Manxi said euphemistically.

"There is no such thing! Your mother is working under me, where did I bully her? If I don't bully her, how can anyone else manage my kitchen! Zhao Xixi pretended to be annoyed and glanced at Hua Manxi, "You really don't know what you're thinking all day long!" ”

"Okay." Hua Manxi had no choice but to nod and reveal the matter.

But I was even more suspicious in my heart, Zhao Xi's appearance, did he know the inside story, or didn't he know the inside story? She was sure that her mother was definitely hiding something from her, and she must find out about it as soon as possible, and then take her mother out of here.

If Xu Jinfei is here, if he is here, it will be easy to find out a little thing, where can she be so sad.

Hua Manxi thought sullenly in his heart.

Xu Jinfei's handsome and noble appearance suddenly flashed in her mind, her ears turned red, and she quickly rubbed her temples and suppressed the thoughts in her heart.

Hua Manxi, Hua Manxi, you, what are you doing! If you haven't had a thing to do with these eight characters, you're all thinking about others!

"Hua Xiaochu, the former grandson is looking for you." Just as he was wondering, a deep voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Hua Manxi's thoughts.
