"Just your sweet mouth, if that's the case, say a few words in front of Sister Hua, why don't you worry about her soft-heartedness?" Mrs. Lin said coquettishly.

That's it, there are no concubines in his room, there are newcomers every year, as long as she sits firmly in the position of the housewife, a small village woman can't make any waves in her hands.

"Madame has a point." Lin Zhicheng nodded and straightened his robe, "Then I'll give it another try." ”

Wei Guogong got Mrs. Lin's guidance and returned to the side courtyard again, but he didn't want to meet Hua Manxi at the door.

"You, what are you doing here?" Lin Zhicheng frowned and asked unhappily.

"Grandpa Guo can come, why can't I? Or is it that Grandpa Guo plans to put my mother under house arrest and not let us meet? Hua Manxi glanced at Lin Zhicheng indifferently, and his eyes were full of coldness.

"When did I say such a thing, but your mother has just come to Kyoto, and I just want her to rest better." Lin Zhicheng was a little weak by Hua Manxi's straightforward eyes, and quickly coughed twice to cover up.

"Since you want my mother to rest, what is Grandpa Guo doing? Are you planning to be a door god here to protect my mother? Hua Manxi didn't even think it was time-consuming, so he simply rolled his eyes and dismantled his stage mercilessly.

Lin Zhicheng has always been angry in this family, Mrs. Lin is strong, and Lin Fengxuan is also delicate, but at this time, he was blocked by Hua Manxi like this, speechless, and his face turned red again.

"Wei Guogong, go in, if you don't go in again, it will really disturb your mother's rest." Hua Manxi didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and said directly.

Lin Zhicheng held back his anger again, and could only sprinkle all his anger on the person guarding the door, and scolded: "Look at what! Open the door! Do you want your own country to invite you? ”

"Don't dare, don't dare—Grandpa Guo, please." The two mothers-in-law guarding the door hurriedly opened the lock, nodded and invited Wei Guogong in.

Hua Manxi didn't look at them anymore, lifted the hem of her skirt, crossed the threshold, and ran directly to the courtyard.

The two mothers-in-law guarding the door naturally scoffed at this, and complained in a low voice: "From the countryside, it is really from the countryside, I really don't know the etiquette, and I dare to walk in front of the grandfather of the country!" It's so presumptuous! ”

"It's also that our grandfather has a good temper, if he had changed to a more strict family, he would have been dragged down to the ancestral hall a long time ago." Another mother-in-law also chimed in.

Their voices were not small, and it was clear that they deliberately said it to Hua Manxi, but Hua Manxi didn't even pause in the slightest as if she hadn't heard it.

On the contrary, Lin Zhicheng felt that his face was dull and hot, he had several daughters, especially Lin Fengxuan, who was known as a talented woman in Kyoto, and a colleague in the court, who didn't envy him for raising a good daughter? It's just that this flower is full of streams, and the rules are really too bad, forget it, the rules are poor, just ask someone to teach you, but she has no one in her eyes at all, and she doesn't take his father in her eyes! If she is really married to the Zhenguo Mansion, maybe she will have a grudge with the Zhenguo Mansion.

Lin Zhicheng here is worried, and Hua Manxi over there has already entered the house directly, sweeping it at a glance, uncle, aunt, mother, Dayang Xiaoyezi and his wife, Xiaosong, all of them are safe and sound, all of them are all tailed.

"Mother! Uncle! Are you alright? Did they embarrass you? Hua Manxi's heart that had been hanging finally came to fruition, and asked.

"Full Stream! Sure enough, it's you! Komatsu guessed right! When Hua Lanxiang saw her daughter, her eyes immediately turned red, and she blamed herself, "It's all my mother's fault, it's my mother who has affected you." ”

"Okay, mother, don't cry, we are all a family, there is nothing that is not involved." Hua Manxi gave her a reassuring look and said softly.

When Hua Lanxiang saw that her daughter was so sensible, she couldn't hold back the tears in her eyes, but when she caught a glimpse of Lin Zhicheng who came in next, she immediately held back her tears and cooled her face: "What are you doing again!" ”

Lin Zhicheng just entered the door, and saw her looking like a pear blossom with rain, his heart softened a little, and he was going to comfort her for a few words, but he didn't want him to be like a thief when he saw him, so he was suddenly unhappy in his heart, and said in a calm voice: "This is my place, why can't I come?" ”

Hua Lanxiang sneered when she heard this, and said, "Grandpa Guo is really majestic, we have no intention of staying in these four places for you, so it's better to put us back." ”

Lin Zhicheng saw that she really didn't think about her old feelings at all, and there was a touch of frustration and unwillingness in her heart, and she wanted to lose her temper, but when she touched Hua Lanxiang's still red eyes, she softened her tone and said: "Okay, let's stop arguing, let's talk about it well." ”

Uncle, they are also acquaintances, and when they heard this, they all found an excuse to go down to rest, leaving this flower hall to the three of them.

"Manxi, you can sit down too." Lin Zhicheng saw that Hua Manxi was still standing, and beckoned and said.

Hua Manxi was about to sit down, but Hua Lanxiang suddenly said loudly: "Manxi, you are a very good cook, he is your father after all, although he did not fulfill his responsibility, but he gave you a life, you go cook some delicious meals, and also show a little filial piety as a daughter." ”

Hua Lanxiang is not very reluctant to let Hua Manxi work on weekdays, this is deliberately supporting her.

Hua Manxi nodded, his gaze fell on Wei Guogong's face calmly, and his tone was a little softer: "I don't know what Grandpa Guo likes to eat on weekdays?" Are there any taboos? ”

Lin Zhicheng was just dumbfounded by her, and at this time, Hua Lanxiang said a word, but she lowered her eyebrows and asked about her preferences, and suddenly felt a little flattered, touched her beard awkwardly, and said in a deep voice: "I don't have any taboos, I like to eat noodles on weekdays." ”

"Then I'll make a bowl of noodles for Grandpa Guo." Hua Manxi nodded, and then retreated.

There are also a few people in this side courtyard to serve, and there is also a small kitchen, after Hua Manxi entered, the two mothers-in-law who were dozing in the kitchen suddenly became energetic, and said with a smirk: "This-little lady, what do you command?" ”

They only knew that it was the family of the first aunt who came, and they had not seen Hua Manxi, and they did not recognize it all, but they only thought that Hua Manxi came with Hua Lanxiang.

"Grandpa Guo wants to eat noodles, I'll make a bowl of noodles for Grandpa Guo to eat." Hua Manxi said lightly.

"Ouch, Madame confessed, I want us to serve Aunt Hua's family well, where can I bother you to cook, I am from the big kitchen, Grandpa Guo likes to eat lo mein on weekdays, and it is all through my hands, I will do it." One of the mothers-in-law said.

"No need, my mother asked me to make a bowl of noodles for him, which is a complete love between our father and daughter, I'll come." Hua Manxi's face was still very light, and he didn't put on a show, and he didn't get angry.

The mother-in-law suddenly heard the sound in her words, and said in surprise: "It turns out that it is a big girl, the big girl is really filial, just came back and wanted to make noodles for Grandpa Guo to eat, how about the old woman give you a hand?" ”

She only thought that Hua Manxi wanted to please Wei Guogong, and continued: "Grandpa Guo's favorite thing to eat on weekdays is to make lo mein, the noodles should be thick and long, flexible, chewy, full of braised heads, and the taste should be enough!" ”

Hua Manxi nodded and said, "Okay, I know, thank you, please help me boil a pot of water." ”

However, she didn't make lo noodles as her mother-in-law said, she came to make noodles, but she avoided her mother's conversation, and she didn't really want to please him, so she didn't want to make such troublesome noodles.

What she makes is a simple knife-cut dough.

Hua Manxi first took the eggs, beat them into a bowl, then cut the ginger, onion and garlic, put them in a bowl, stirred well with the eggs, then boiled the oil, scrambled the eggs, and served them in a large bowl.

Next, she kneaded the flour with oil, salt, water, and good noodles into a soft dough.

At this time, the woman's water had also been boiled, Hua Manxi held the dough in one hand and the knife in the other, only to see her flat shoulders and the palm holding the dough in a straight line, and then the right hand holding the knife moved quickly, the knife fell, and the dough in her hand was cut into pieces like willow leaves one by one, and it fell into the boiling water in the pot accurately.

She moved quickly, her hand did not leave the knife, the knife did not leave the face, one piece at a time, and in a short time, she cut more than half of a dough.

The two mothers-in-law originally thought that Hua Manxi was just a village girl, thinking of cooking some crude meals to please Grandpa Guo, but who knew that she showed such a hand, and the two mothers-in-law were simply stunned and dumbfounded.

This, this big girl who is outcast, will she not be able to work hard? It's so powerful!

Hua Manxi didn't care about their belly, put down the dough, scooped up the noodles in the pot with a spoon, picked some green vegetables into it, and cooked them together.

She took out the noodles and vegetables from the pot, put them in the scrambled eggs she had just scrambled, poured sesame oil, and put chopped green onions and coriander, and went out with the noodles.

"This big girl is so skillful, making a bowl of noodles is like playing, where do you need guidance?" A mother-in-law couldn't get enough of it and exclaimed, "I've never seen noodles like this before, it's really beautiful and amazing." ”

"Don't say it's you, it's that I've been on an errand in the big kitchen for so many years, the master in the kitchen has come and gone, I haven't seen such noodles made, don't look at the bowl of clear soup noodles is simple, but I see that the noodles are thick and thin, with sharp edges, shaped like willow leaves, and the entrance must be smooth outside and strong inside, soft but not sticky, the more you chew, the more fragrant it is, it is the battle when she cuts noodles, just open a noodle restaurant in Kyoto, just sell this kind of noodles, and she won't starve." has such a unique skill at a young age, it seems that Aunt Hua is not an ordinary person. The mother-in-law who cooked talked eloquently and admired.

And here, the conversation between Hua Lanxiang and Lin Zhicheng also came to an abrupt end because of Hua Manxi's action of coming in.

Hua Manxi put a simple bowl of knife-cut noodles on the table, and said in a low voice, "Grandpa Guo, please eat noodles." ”
