Chapter 68: All-purpose condiment chili sauce
Hua Manxi returned home with a large pot of tempeh, and the eldest aunt was able to wash the dishes and chopsticks and put them in the wooden basin.
"Manxi, what are you buying so many tempeh!" The eldest aunt was surprised.
"Make chili sauce." Hua Manxi brought the tempeh to the house, put the tofu in the water and soaked it, and asked the eldest aunt to help him cut all the lean meat into small dices, and then went out to pick peppers.
There are two peppers in their garden, but she likes to put them when she cooks on weekdays, and she has some left to cook in the future, so she only picks one.
Next to her family's vegetable garden is the vegetable garden of her second aunt, and several peppers are planted in the yard of the second aunt, and Hua Sangsang is picking vegetables.
"Sangsang, Sangsang." Hua Manxi screamed.
Hua Sangsang raised his head at this time, looked at her, and said indifferently: "What are you doing, is there something wrong?" ”
"Well, can you let me pick the peppers from your garden?" Hua Manxi asked politely.
"No, what do you want chili peppers for, I want to dry them to kill insects!" Hua Sangsang refused.
"Then I'll give you a penny, how about you let me pick it?" Hua Manxi is really tired today, and she doesn't want to run around anymore, preferring to buy her chili peppers for a penny.
"A penny? Pick this pepper? Hua Sangsang was about to laugh at her for being stupid, but after thinking about it, she could buy a silk flower for a penny, she smiled, "You give me a penny, and I will let you pick it." ”
Hua Manxi immediately took out a penny from his pocket and handed it to Hua Sangsang.
Hua Sangsang couldn't imagine that she really took out a penny to buy this chili, glanced at her in surprise, and saw that she had no intention of repenting, so she quickly put the penny in her pocket, carried the vegetable basket and left, only stacking the next sentence: "You pick it." ”
Hua Manxi breathed a sigh of relief, according to a person like the second aunt, if she took her chili pepper for nothing, maybe there would be some moths in the future, just a penny, it was worth it.
Hua Manxi picked the chili peppers into the basket, and his hands were hot until he picked them, so he stopped.
She took the chili peppers home, washed them with the tempeh, and drained the water.
There are so many chili peppers, if you chop them by hand, your own hands will definitely be spicy, so Hua Manxi cleverly crushed them with the stone spoons used to beat rice cakes at home.
After crushing the chili peppers, it's time to start stir-frying the chili sauce.
The eldest aunt had already chopped up the lean meat she bought, and Hua Manxi took out some of it with chopsticks, planning to make it and eat it tonight, and the rest was used to fry the chili sauce.
First of all, prepare all the ingredients, crushed chili, black bean sauce, sesame seeds, Sichuan pepper, then minced ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, cooking wine, a little sugar, salt.
Get out of the pot, burn the oil, put more oil, chili sauce, just to be oily to be delicious, go into the lean meat and stir-fry, fry the meat after it changes color, add minced ginger, cooking wine, and then put in the soy sauce, fry until the meat foam floats on the oil, pour all the tempeh into it, and continue to stir-fry.
Finally, pour in the chili flakes and some peppercorns, add some sugar to neutralize the spiciness, fry until the chili peppers are dry, add salt, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and you can get out of the pot.
"Manxi, what are you frying here, this taste is choking enough!" The eldest aunt was cooking while cooking, and she was so smoked by the smell that tears flowed, and she couldn't help but say something.
"This is chili sauce, and the dumplings dipped under the bibimbap stir-fry are simply all-purpose condiments." Hua Manxi put a large pot of chili sauce into the basin to cool, and asked, "Auntie, what jar do you have at home, I want to use this chili sauce for this kind of thing." ”
"There are a few salt jars, my eldest brother sells salt jars and oil jars, and he gave them to our family, I'll get them for you."
The salt jar is not big or small, just right, but the lid is not sealed enough, and the oil jar is better, but unfortunately it is too small to fit much.
Hua Manxi only took a few salt jars and filled them with five or six jars of chili sauce, which were still a lot left, and there were no jars at home.
"Auntie, send this chili sauce to my godfather, let my godmother seal it in a jar, and tell her that she can stir-fry, mix noodles, bibimbap, and dip dumplings. I took advantage of the fire in the stove and cooked the dish. ”
"Okay." The eldest aunt answered, washed her hands, and then went to Uncle Liu's house with the basin.
Hua Manxi scooped up the tofu he had just soaked in the water, planning to make a stuffed tofu.
This stuffed tofu is a famous Hakka dish in modern times, characterized by mellow soup, fresh and tender, moist, and delicious taste.
She first soaked a little shiitake mushrooms, then chopped the shiitake mushrooms, then stirred them with the meat filling she had just selected, and then added an appropriate amount of sesame seeds, soy sauce, sugar, salt, stirred and marinated to taste.
In fact, to make stuffed tofu, the meat should be more delicious with fat and thin, but now the materials are limited, so we can only settle for it.
Cut the tofu into cubes, carefully scoop out the middle with a spoon, and carefully stuff the marinated filling.
After the tofu is stuffed, heat the oil, fry the tofu in the pan until golden brown on both sides, and then pour in the soy sauce, sugar, and mixed sauce.
Increase the heat, reduce the juice, sprinkle a handful of chopped green onions, and you are ready to cook.
After cooking the dishes, Hua Manxi was about to taste it, but there was a violent knock on the door outside the door.
"Who is this! Can you make people have a good meal? Hua Manxi warmed the vegetables in the pot and ran out angrily.
Could it be that the second aunt and the eldest mother of the Nading family got along so quickly? Blocking her again?
Hua Manxi walked impatiently to the side of the chai door and opened the door, but the person outside the door was not the second aunt, nor the eldest mother of the Ding family, but Ding Shuqing!
"Is there something wrong?" Hua Manxi asked with a cold face, blocking the door, without any intention of calling him in.
"My mother said that after drinking sugar water from you, she couldn't stop having diarrhea, and when you went to the toilet, you put a mouse in to scare her and let her fall into the toilet? Hua Manxi, I really can't see that your heart is so vicious? As soon as Ding Shuqing came up, he asked with a slap on his face, "My mother is for you and me to withdraw from my family, our Ding family can't stand you, but it is your own virtue that makes people dirty, is it possible that I Ding Shuqing will carry you into the door as a wife?" I have already said, you marry the second baby, I have two rooms, you are equal to my wife, what are you not satisfied with? ”
Ho, when he said this large paragraph, his face was not red, his heart was not beating, and he was not panting, and he could hear that Hua Manxi was on fire.
"Your mother drank my soup and had diarrhea, maybe the sugar in my house has been left for too long and is broken, but the sugar water was ordered by her to pour it for her, not what I begged her to drink! And she fell into the latrine, which was obviously caused by an argument with my second aunt, isn't it normal for there to be rats in the latrine? Which eye did you see me putting a mouse? Will the rats still listen to me? The latrine I let it go to? Hua Manxi laughed angrily, looking at Ding Shuqing with a look of mental retardation.
"Also, Ding Shuqing, let me say it again, the two of us have already withdrawn, and I have paid off the marriage gift I owe to your family! As for my mother's kindness of borrowing money to treat you, I don't care about it, now the two of us have nothing to do with each other, please go back and tell your mother, don't come to our house again, no one in your Ding family is welcome in our family, including you! Don't say it's a fool to marry Ding Erwa, even if you want to marry me back as a wife now, I'm not uncommon! Not uncommon! Hear me clearly! ”
Hua Manxi snorted and slammed the door shut.
Where did Ding Shuqing receive such a cold reception in the Hua family? In the past, when he came to the Hua family, when did Boss Hua and her aunt not nod their heads, for fear of neglecting him?
Ding Shuqing hadn't come back to his senses yet, gritted his teeth and said, "Hua Manxi, you will regret it!" ”
"It's better to go, don't send it!" Hua Manxi slammed down this sentence through the door and went to the house.
What a waste of saliva to talk to such people!
Hua Manxi slammed the door and returned to the house by himself, but he didn't know that this scene completely fell in the eyes of Hua Sangsang in the next room.
Hua Sangsang saw Ding Xiucai standing in place and was angry, pretending to pass by, and said softly: "Brother Ding? You, why are you here? Didn't you divorce my sister? ”
There are outsiders, Ding Shuqing wants to maintain a personable appearance, pulled out a far-fetched smile, and pretended to be sad: "Although I withdrew from her, but the friendship that grew up since childhood is still there, she is now dirty, and I was forced by my family to withdraw from her, I am worried that she will not be able to remarry in the future, so I want my mother to come and propose marriage, let her marry my brother, the fact is that I have two rooms, she just occupies a name and is the wife of the second baby." But she didn't appreciate it. ”
Hua Sangsang was stupid, raised his eyes and looked at Ding Shuqing's handsome face, and his heart was pounding.
"However, my mother has already proposed to my cousin Manxi last night, and I want her to marry my cousin Wang Dazhuang." Hua Sangsang covered his conscience and said nonsense, "I think Cousin Manxi should be happy about this family business, my cousin has a bad reputation, and he is on par with Cousin Manxi, and he is a good match." You don't know, Sister Manxi was injured that day, and it was my big cousin who carried her back. ”
Ding Shuqing hadn't heard his mother talk about this yet, and when he thought of Wang Dazhuang's reputation, he frowned in disgust.
This damn Hua Manxi would rather marry someone like Wang Dazhuang than do what they do!
For the second child to marry a wife, every time he returned home, his mother was always crying, which was really annoying!
"I don't know anything like that." Ding Shuqing was annoyed in his heart, but he still squeezed out a fake smile on his face.
"Brother Ding, have you eaten, if you don't dislike it, come to my house to eat, my mother is also unwell, lying on the bed, I can't finish the food I cooked." Hua Sang Sang said delicately.
Ding Shuqing wanted to refuse directly, but looking at Hua Sangsang's delicate face, he was a little reluctant, and paused and said, "Then it's bothering." ”
Hua Sangsang was overjoyed and introduced people into his own yard.
