Hua Manxi put all the chicken pieces on the board into a large pot, and when he raised his head, he saw Aunt Liu holding a leaf, and the leaf was white and tender tofu, but the person behind him was Li Qiuqiu.

When Li Qiuqiu passed by the wooden shed today, she cried so sadly, but now she was smiling like a flower, approaching Hua Manxi, and rolled up her sleeves familiarly: "Sister Manxi, do you need any help?" What are you cooking here? Can you teach me? ”

"I'm going to make yellow stewed chicken, if you want to learn it, just watch it." Hua Manxi didn't hide his secrets, and said directly, "The characteristics of this yellow stewed chicken are that the chicken juice is thick, fresh and sweet, the entrance is rotten, and the sauce is light in color, all year round, suitable for all ages." ”

"The seasonings we want to prepare, there are dried shiitake mushrooms, dried fungus, dried bamboo shoots, soaked first, soaked shiitake mushrooms and fungus must be cleaned several times, squeeze out the water in the shiitake mushrooms, so that the shiitake mushrooms can have no peculiar smell, and then the three treasures of the stove, ginger and garlic are indispensable, as well as dried chili, soy sauce, cooking wine, sugar."

"First boil the water, put the chicken pieces into the pot and blanch the water, this blanching time can not be long, to take out immediately, cold water, this will make the meat of the chicken more firm and elastic, and then use salt, soy sauce, a little oil, ginger slices, cooking wine, marinate the chicken for a while, let the chicken taste."

Hua Manxi said while demonstrating: "After marinating and flavoring, heat the oil in the pot, add the minced garlic and chili pepper and fry until fragrant, then pour in the chicken pieces and fry until they change color and then put them out, then the cut mushrooms, fungus, bamboo shoots, drain the water and put them in the pot to stir-fry, then add water, salt, soy sauce, a little sugar, and then pour in the chicken pieces and simmer together." ”

"This yellow stewed chicken, the most important thing is the heat of stewing, this should be specific to the old and tender chicken, control the heat, and choose fatter chicken for chicken." After Hua Manxi closed the lid, he said slowly, "I have raised this chicken at home for a long time, and it should be simmered for more than half an hour, and it should be simmered over medium heat." ”

"Wow, this smells like it." Aunt Liu took a hard breath, "Qiuqiu, Manxi is not wrong, you learn more from Manxi, and you can inherit your father's mantle in the future." ”

"Got it, Aunt Liu." A hint of discoloration flashed in Li Qiuqiu's eyes, and he hurriedly lowered his head and said.

She wanted to learn to cook with Hua Manxi, not to inherit her father's mantle, but for Xu Gongzi.

Xu Gongzi likes to eat the food cooked by Hua Manxi, if she wants to marry Xu Gongzi, she must please him.

"Godmother, you look at the fire, I'll kill the fish first." Hua Manxi neatly scooped up the fat fish raised in the fish tank, fell heavily to the ground, and fell several times, before he began to scale and remove the gills and disembowel the belly.

She got up the head and bones, and the flesh was sliced into thin, uniform fillets, and packed separately.

The fish head was split into several large pieces by her, drained the water, and then got up in a small pot, heated the oil, put the fish head in the pot and fried it over low heat, when the fish head was slightly browned, pour in water and tofu, boil over high heat, after the water boiled, put in a little vinegar, rice wine, green onions, ginger slices, pepper.

When the soup is milky white, sprinkle with some chopped green onions and you're ready to cook.

The fish soup must be drunk hot to be delicious, so the fish soup scooped out of the pot is put into a small clay pot and warmed by charcoal at the mouth of the stove.

Then it is to make boiled fish fillets, Hua Manxi first starches the cut fish fillets, that is, with salt, green onions, ginger, garlic, pepper, cooking wine and other condiments, grasp well, and then boil water, put in the fish fillets and blanch until they are eight mature.

Fish out the fillet, under the fillet put some favorite vegetables, Hua Manxi this time used lettuce slices and a little cabbage leaves.

Stir-fry the dried chili peppers, peppercorns and plenty of oil until the oil boils, then pour the hot oil over the fish fillets, and the smell fills the kitchen with the sound of hot oil.

"Wow, it's so fragrant, this smell makes people appetite when they smell it." As soon as Hua Manxi finished the boiled fish, Uncle Liu and the others came back with Uncle Yang and a few people.

"Such a choking chili pepper smell can be mixed with the fragrance, rare, too rare." Uncle Yang also followed Uncle Liu to wash his hands by the well and praised him.

"Mother-in-law, entertain the guests, I will invite Xu Gongzi's family again, yesterday when I was having dinner at Lao Li's house, Xu Gongzi said that he intends to donate money to our village to repair the road at the entrance of the village, and I want to implement this matter as soon as possible." Uncle Liu stood at the door of the kitchen and shouted.

"Hey, right away, right away." Aunt Liu hurriedly got up and said to Li Qiuqiu, "Qiuqiu, this place will be handed over to you and Manxi, you help Manxi." ”

"Okay, Aunt Liu." Li Qiuqiu obediently agreed, but when he lowered his eyebrows, he couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes.

Xu Gongzi, is he coming too?

Li Qiuqiu thought about it for a while, and suddenly raised his eyes and said to Hua Manxi: "Sister Manxi, can you let me fry a dish?" You're teaching me on the side, okay? ”

"Okay, what's wrong with this, what do you want to cook?" Hua Manxi said directly.

"I want to make a vegetarian dish, and my dad used to let me make it when I was cooking vegetarian dishes at home." Li Qiuqiu replied.

"Then make a sour and spicy shredded potato, which my aunt just dug up from the ground." Hua Manxi said, "You peel the potatoes first, shred them, and I'll make another dish." ”

This dish is all semi-finished products, and it is easy to make, that is, the sausage and bacon that Hua Manxi took from home, as well as kimchi.

Sausages and bacon are relatively oily, used to fry kimchi, add dried chilies, sour and spicy, appetizing and greasy with oil, perfect match!

Hua Manxi skillfully prepared this dish, put the yellow stewed chicken in the big pot into the big crockpot, washed the pot, and said, "Qiuqiu, come here, fry your dishes." ”

"How to fry this sour and hot shredded potato?" Li Qiuqiu was a little nervous and looked at her with big eyes.

"The shredded potatoes are soaked in water for a while, otherwise the shredded potatoes are not crispy, and then the peppers are chopped, oiled, boiled oil into the shredded potatoes, stir-fried quickly, put some water, and then put in the peppers and vinegar, salt, it is best to use vinegar to make this dish, stir-fry until the shredded potatoes are cooked, and then they will be served, otherwise the shredded potatoes will be overheated and not crispy. The key point of making this dish is that the shredded potatoes must be soaked in water, and then they should be stir-fried over high heat. ”

Li Qiuqiu did what Hua Manxi said, and although the shredded potatoes were lighter, they were sour, spicy and crispy, which was considered a success.

Hua Manxi finally asked her to fry a spinach, and she cut the braised egg she brought and put it on the pot.

When the guests arrived, Uncle Liu came over and asked Aunt Liu to serve the dishes, Hua Manxi stood at the door of the stove room and saw Xu Jinfei sitting in the hall from a distance.

But who would have thought that this noble son, in order to give her a handful of osmanthus flowers last night, actually wanted to cut off his robe.

Hua Manxi wanted to laugh a little, but when she noticed Li Qiuqiu's stupid gaze at Xu Jinfei, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed in her heart, withdrew her gaze, and helped serve the food.

Hey, there are so many good men, she is a small village girl, how can it be so easy to be with such a noble son in ancient times with strict rules? is the Ding family's broken settlement, but it is just a showman, and they have to find ways to withdraw from her family affairs.

Obviously, this Xu Gongzi is not a good choice. The important thing is to be self-aware.

Hua Manxi retracted his thoughts, and after being busy, he just didn't look at Xu Gongzi again.

A table full of dishes stunned everyone.

The soft and juicy yellow stewed chicken is spicy and sweet, the steaming tofu soup is light and pleasant, the boiled fish with heavy spicy and fragrant aroma is hearty, the bacon sausage is sour and spicy and delicious, and even the two vegetarian dishes are ingenious, and the braised eggs are also extremely delicious, and the hundreds of textures are intertwined with the tip of the tongue.

This meal was full of praise from Uncle Yang.

"This little girl, I have two sons at home, the eldest one is handsome and chic, and the younger one is polite, why don't you be my daughter-in-law?" Uncle Yang frequently looked at Huamanxi, and the more he looked at it, the happier he became.

"Ouch, Uncle Seven, you can't, I have a younger son at home who hasn't talked about family affairs yet!" Uncle Liu laughed and poured Uncle Yang a glass of wine.

"You have recognized her as your goddaughter, she is filial to you every once in a while, I have no opinion, you can't take all the good things, my niece is your daughter-in-law, you give me a goddaughter as a daughter-in-law, that's fair!" Uncle Yang laughed and asked Hua Manxi quite seriously, "Girl, did you say that?" ”

What a good way, it was involved in her marriage again!

Hua Manxi looked at the dishes on the table, and suddenly had an idea: "The dishes on this table are not all made by me, there are two dishes made by Qiuqiu, and Qiuqiu hasn't said kiss yet." ”

"Sister Manxi!" Li Qiuqiu raised his eyes shyly and timidly to look at Xu Jinfei who was sitting opposite, and said coquettishly.

"Ahem, that Uncle Liu, where did we talk about road construction just now?" Xu Dashizi looked at it as if he had nothing, his eyes fell lightly on Uncle Liu's side, and he asked seriously.

"Oh, when it comes to building roads, we have to invite workers, we in Taohua Village can spontaneously organize workers to help, don't need wages, after all, building roads is a matter of benefiting the people and ourselves." Uncle Liu suddenly felt a sense of responsibility, and worked hard to be a village chief who fought for good welfare for the villagers, and talked with Xu Jinfei in detail.

Hua Manxi was afraid that they would talk and talk about their own family affairs again, so they ate some hastily and slipped away.

She was busy all day today, and she was a little tired, so she went home to take a shower and was about to go to bed, when she heard a knock on the door.

The eldest uncle and the eldest aunt have already fallen asleep, who is it in the middle of the night?

Hua Manxi was a little puzzled, got up with a piece of clothes, and came to the yard, and the eldest aunt happened to get up too.

When she saw Hua Manxi, she waved her hand, motioned her to go back to the room, and asked through the wood door, "Who?" ”
