The more you eat, the more fragrant it becomes, the more you eat it, the more you eat it, the more you can't stop-

After a while, he finished the whole pot of squid, and his mouth seemed to be on fire, so he scooped a bowl of cold white porridge by himself, and ate the cold wild vegetables again.

The white porridge is very hard to boil at home, soft and glutinous and fragrant, the rice and water are blended and distinct, the wild vegetables are fragrant and refreshing, and there is no bitterness at all.

Uncle Li will eat so satisfied, and his stomach will be round.

"Lao Li? How's my niece's craft? Uncle Hua saw that Uncle Li was eating with oil in his mouth, so he secretly swallowed his saliva and asked cautiously.

Uncle Li put down the chopsticks, and then looked at Hua Manxi again, although he was a little thinner, but he was better than having a strong wrist, and he was meticulous and serious in his work, and he was methodical, but he was a good material for making a spoon.

It's a pity, it's a girl, although it's not good to be a spoon, but it's still okay to be a cook, it just so happens that he's getting older and needs personal help.

"Boss Hua, your niece is good, I'll take it. I also know what the situation of your family is, and I don't need to apprentice or anything, but I told you first, it's okay to teach you to cook, but it's just a girl, you can't always be in charge, you follow me to be a cook, the salary will not be less than you, who inherits my mantle in the future, you will also be a cook for him. "Uncle Li is also a sincere person, so he opened his words first.

"Thank you, Uncle Li." Hua Manxi saw that he had the opportunity to earn money, so he was immediately overjoyed and stepped forward and bowed to Old Uncle Li.

"You stupid boy, what else is your name, Uncle Li, quickly kneel down and call the master." Uncle Hua hurriedly stepped forward and tugged at the hem of Hua Manxi's clothes and reminded in a low voice.

"Oh, yes, yes." Hua Manxi smiled embarrassedly, quickly knelt down according to the rules, knelt down respectfully towards Old Uncle Li, took the coarse tea brewed by his eldest aunt, handed the teacup to Old Uncle Li, and shouted, "Meet the master." ”

Uncle Li has a serious temperament, not a hippie smiling person, took the tea handed over by Hua Manxi, tasted it lightly, and only advised: "I accepted your apprentice, starting tomorrow, I will come to my house to practice sword skills and basic skills, I will have an errand in a few days, and I will take you to a long time." ”

"Thank you, master." Hua Manxi said sincerely.

"Get up." Uncle Li put the teacup on the old table on the side, took out a shabby book stained with oil stains from his arms, stepped forward and handed it to Hua Manxi, "Here are some of my thoughts and experiences in cooking over the years, I heard that you can read, you can take a look." ”

As a chef, his favorite thing is naturally recipes and the like, Hua Manxi's originally faint expression suddenly brightened a little, and he respectfully took the old book, and said sincerely: "Thank you, master." ”

Uncle Hua and Uncle Hua were very happy to see the apprenticeship, being a chef, that is a good entry, even if Hua Manxi is just a cook, but the salary is also a lot, even if the Ding family's silver can't be earned this month, with this relationship, you can borrow some from Uncle Li first, and then the family will scrape together some, after all, you can't let Manxi marry that Ding Erwa!

After sending Uncle Li away, Uncle Hua's family swept away the low mood of the past two days, and also laughed in a low voice, but the second aunt took Hua Sangsang and Hua Xiaobai and returned home angrily.

She didn't expect that this dead girl still had this ability, and a girl could worship Uncle Li as her master!

This will make them have a relationship with Uncle Li, maybe they can really borrow money to repay the Ding family's family gift, and if they repay the money, the family business of Da Zhuang will definitely not be done!

The second aunt was so anxious that her throat was on fire, but she had accepted her sister-in-law's matchmaker's money, and if she couldn't say anything about it, she would have to spit it out.

No, you can't let Hua Manxi and Uncle Li become this master and apprentice!

Here, Hua Manxi had just apprenticed to her teacher, and she was in a good mood, so she lit a dim lamp and seriously studied the old book that Uncle Li gave her.

Although she has full confidence in her cooking skills, but cooking is endless, it is difficult to adjust, even if it is a great chef, but also according to the bad environment and local tastes to cook, she is new to the place, I don't know what kind of taste people like in this place, since there are references, it must be studied seriously.

Just as she was fascinated, the window that had been closed was opened for some reason, and a cold wind poured in, blowing out her faltering candle flame with a pop.

The small room fell into darkness, Hua Manxi rubbed his eyes, and was about to relight the light, but he was keenly aware that there was one more person in the room breathing! And a strong smell of blood!

Hua Manxi immediately tensed up, she stiffened her neck, and looked at the door fixedly, but unfortunately because she had to study the recipe, she let herself be chained, that is, she ran over and groped for the door bolt to open the door, maybe she would become a ghost under the knife of the comer.

The person who came was able to sneak into the yard quietly, and he came in through the window in an instant, she must be a practitioner, and she was a powerless little village girl, didn't she pinch her to death with a finger?

Hua Manxi was nervous, and his mind was quickly calculating, if he shouted loudly and called his uncle and them, maybe he didn't save himself, but he would even kill his uncle and kill them-

After thinking about the two phases, Hua Manxi took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice: "Strong man, my family is surrounded by four walls, there is nothing valuable, and I still owe a lot of debts, please ask the strong man to raise his noble hand, if you don't dislike it, there are a few local chickens at home, and the strong man will take it away and fight for the tooth sacrifice." ”

Her voice fell, but a barely audible laugh rang out in the darkness.

Hua Manxi hadn't listened to the kindness yet, but felt that in front of him, the lights on the table were turned on again.

In the flickering candle flame, she saw clearly the appearance of the person who came, it was the beautiful man she met on the mountain today!

"Don't be afraid, Xu was chased and killed, and he was poisoned, and he was forced to follow the girl back because he had no choice but to hurt the girl." Xu Jinfei's noble eyebrows and eyes were already extremely white at this time, and after he opened his mouth, he suddenly spit out another mouthful of black blood.

Before Hua Manxi could react, the person who was standing suddenly fell down softly.

Hua Manxi's eyes were quick, and she hurriedly stepped forward to hug him, but she was almost not crushed to death by this tall guy, she took the effort to feed, dragged Xu Jinfei to the bed, and after pulling out her hands, she saw that her hands were covered with slimy blood.

She turned the man around again, and saw that the clothes on his back were already soaked with blood, and the wounded flesh was sticking to it, which was very miserable.

That's it, you can still follow her home, hide, and don't touch the room until dark to call for help? This man's endurance is also amazing!

Hua Manxi was amazed, and quickly tiptoed open the door and went to the stove room to get a basin of hot water.

He carefully cut the shirt off his back with scissors, cleaned the wound on his back with hot water, and finally applied the herbal mud that his aunt had asked him from Lang Zhong to put on the wound on his back.

For a while, he couldn't find a clean silk cloth to bandage him, and Hua Manxi couldn't do it, so he had to lie naked on the bed.

She cleaned up, intending to put together a stool and sleep on it for the night, but she didn't want to just lie down and the cough sounded on the bed.

Hua Manxi was so frightened by this coughing sound that she hurriedly pounced and covered Xu Jinfei's mouth tightly.

"Big brother! It's in someone else's house! I'm a girl who hasn't left the cabinet! Can you be self-conscious! Hua Manxi lowered his voice and muttered to himself.

However, before she finished speaking, Xu Jinfei, who was covered by her mouth, suddenly opened her eyes, and her cold and sharp eyes were tightly locked on her face, with a strong killing intent.

Hua Manxi was frightened by his sudden death gaze, and hurriedly let go of the hand covering his mouth, and instead pressed his index finger to his lips, carefully making a shushing motion.

Xu Jinfei's eyes flickered on Hua Manxi's face covered with ointment, and then he remembered where he was, he withdrew the coldness in his eyes, instantly changed to a soft eye color, and said in a dumb voice: "Don't be afraid, girl." ”

"Don't talk, just lie on your stomach, don't turn around, you have ointment on your back." Hua Manxi was afraid of waking up Uncle Hua's family, so he lowered his voice and admonished, "Are you thirsty?" I'll pour you water? ”

Xu Jinfei looked at Hua Manxi's black face with ointment, and struggled extremely in his heart, and only after a long time did he say in great confusion: "I'm hungry." ”

In the middle of the night, do you want to get him food? Did she save people or pick up trouble! Hua Manxi really wants to turn his face, but this person is definitely not simple, and there are killers chasing and killing, if it makes a big fuss, in case the killer provokes the Hua family-

Forget it, isn't it just cooking?

"And what are you going to eat? Is it to eat or to eat—"

"I want to eat meat." The two words of white porridge stuck in Hua Manxi's throat have not yet been spit out, Xu Jinfei has already said seriously, "Kill a chicken, peel and remove oil, simmer slowly, it is best to match it with nourishing herbs, and put less salt." ”

Hua Manxi: "......." did he open a restaurant when he was her? She's his savior, not her cook, right? Can this man recognize reality!

"Big brother, this is my family, my family is very poor-" Hua Manxi forced out a smile and tried to be as kind as possible, "So can you lower some requirements?" You're injured now, and it's best to eat a bowl of white porridge—"

"You take this jade pendant, and when I heal from my injuries, I can exchange it for a hundred taels of silver." Xu Jinfei took out the jade pendant he hadn't given out in the afternoon from his waist and put him in the palm of Hua Manxi's hand.

One hundred taels of silver! One hundred taels of silver! Right now, Hua Manxi, who is unable to move an inch for five taels of silver, has his eyes shining, and there is nothing better than silver in this world!

"Uncle, you wait, I'll kill the chicken right away!" Hua Manxi put away the jade pendant in a slippery manner.
