After Hua Manxi sent away the breeze and clouds, the eldest aunt suddenly said when she was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks: "Manxi, five taels of silver is enough, I heard Aunt Liu say this morning that the Ding family is also back, or I will go to help pay back the silver today?" If I don't pay back the money, I'm always upset. ”

Hua Manxi also has this intention, and pays back the money as soon as possible, the Ding family is not a good family.

"In this way, aunt, I'll go with you, and we'll call Uncle Liu to testify." Hua Manxi said.

Befriending Uncle Liu, she did it deliberately, Uncle Liu is upright and upright, he is a good person, and he has a status in Peach Blossom Village, and his words are also effective, and he can be good friends with him, there are only benefits, no harm.

"Listen to you, let's go to Uncle Liu with the money." The eldest aunt put the dishes and chopsticks away, and specially wiped her hands with a rag, and then went back to the room to get the silver.

With five taels of silver, the eldest aunt and Hua Manxi rushed to Uncle Liu's house.

However, unfortunately, Uncle Liu is not available now, and there are guests at his house.

"It's Cui Niang and Man Xi." When Aunt Liu saw Hua Manxi coming, she immediately smiled.

"Aunt Liu, have you eaten?" Hua Manxi saw that her face was happy, and it seemed that there was a happy event, so she also smiled and asked.

However, Aunt Liu suddenly mysteriously pulled her aside, and said in a low voice, "Manxi, you came just in time, look at the people in the house, this is for my eldest son, the matchmaker is now bringing the girl's family to see the house, your Uncle Liu is entertaining, I am about to cook, but my skills are not very good, can you bother to cook for me?" ”

The girl's family came to see the house, and this was the first time to entertain someone, so they should have done a decent job.

This is just a gesture, Hua Manxi is also asking Uncle Liu for help right now, how can there be any reason?

In order to entertain the distinguished guests, Aunt Liu specially instructed Uncle Liu to cut two catties of pork belly early this morning and come back, and killed a hen at home.

There are a total of four people in the hall, and there are only five people in the hall, and it is not difficult to make a rich dinner.

Aunt Liu has already killed the chicken, Hua Manxi saw that the chicken was about a year's chicken, not old, she saw that Aunt Liu had a lot of dried mushrooms at home, so she made a mushroom stewed chicken.

Hua Manxi took the dried mushrooms and some fungus, soaked them in hot water to soften, and then chopped the whole chicken into small pieces.

Soak the mushrooms with a flower cutting knife, tear the fungus, drain the water and set aside.

Then, Hua Manxi washed the whole piece of pork belly, took a bamboo skewer to fill the meat with small holes, and adjusted a bowl of sauce to continuously smear the pork belly.

"Manxi, you, what are you going to do?" Aunt Liu has never seen anyone cook like this.

"I'm going to make button meat, by the way, Aunt Liu, do you have taro at home? Peel me a taro, I'm going to use it. Hua Manxi said.

After marinating the whole piece of meat to taste it, she cuts the large piece of meat into two pieces, puts in oil and starts slow frying.

After a while, a unique smell wafted through the whole room.

Hua Manxi had the heart to help Uncle Liu, so he specially chose this dish, if he changed to other dishes, it actually had a fragrance, but it was definitely not as strong as the fried button meat, and it spread all over the yard.

The fried button meat is scooped up and cooled, then cut into long cubes, spread on a large bowl, Aunt Liu cut the taro slices and took it, a layer of button meat, a layer of taro spread on it, and finally prepared ginger, garlic and onion foam and a little sugar, soy sauce poured on it, steamed in the pot.

In between steaming the pork, Hua Manxi began to make another dish, chicken stew with mushrooms.

Get out of the pot, heat the oil, fry the chicken until the skin is tight, go down with a spoonful of cold water, boil over high heat, add ginger, garlic and onion knots, cooking wine and salt on the way, simmer for a while, and then add the mushroom fungus to continue to simmer, wait until the chicken is cooked and soft, and the fragrance of the mushrooms is fused, then add a little soy sauce, and get out of the pot. Finally, sprinkle a handful of finely chopped green onions on the chicken in the pot and drop a few drops of sesame oil.

Sesame oil is expensive, if it weren't for entertaining distinguished guests, Aunt Liu wouldn't be willing to take it out anyway.

There are only two dishes, and Hua Manxi is thinking about making a few more dishes.

Aunt Liu's vegetable garden is full of vitality and a large area of green onions.

Hua Manxi picked some leeks, two eggplants, and a handful of cabbage.

Chop the leeks and add a few eggs, mix well, fry into a crispy and delicious omelet, two eggplants to make garlic eggplant, and stir-fry the cabbage.

The five dishes are ready, and it's time to eat.

In order to save lamp oil, rural people generally eat early for dinner, especially when they come and the guests have to rush back, so they eat even earlier.

Aunt Liu beckoned Uncle Liu to start the meal, and when the five dishes were brought to the table, several guests were dazzled.

In fact, not only is the fragrance wafting all over the courtyard, but the appearance is not ordinarily good.

Hua Manxi deliberately used the hotel's plating technology, in order to let Uncle Liu have face, so that he could talk about this family business.

Uncle Liu's three sons, only the second son is married, but he lives in the town all the year round and rarely comes back.

"Lao Liu, I can't see it, Sister-in-law Liu has such a craft, you are blessed." The matchmaker smiled, and he didn't hesitate to praise it.

As soon as Uncle Liu took a look, he knew that it was not his mother-in-law's craftsmanship, this mother-in-law used to be honest, but this time she opened her mind and knew that she was looking for Manxi for help.

"Where, everyone, sit down, coarse tea and light rice, don't dislike it." Uncle Liu took out his treasured Erguotou again and drank two glasses with the guests.

Is this still coarse tea and light rice? Even the best restaurant in town is nothing more than that, right?

This pork belly can make such a taste, it is not fatty at all, and it doesn't even feel the oil, and the matchmaker never eats fatty meat on weekdays, so he can't help but eat two large pieces.

Dried mushrooms are all over the mountain, and every household will dry some stewed chicken during the New Year, but this thing is delicious when it is raw, and it has a taste when it is dry, but the mushrooms of this stewed chicken have no taste at all, they are full of sweetness, and they absorb the rich chicken juice, which is more delicious than meat.

Ordinary people can make leek omelette, but they have never eaten such a crispy and delicious one, not to mention anything else, but this simple eggplant and cabbage are so delicious!

This meal was enjoyed by the guests and hosts, and everyone held their stomachs.

After Uncle Liu happily sent the guests away, he immediately went back to the stove room, and saw that Hua Manxi and his mother-in-law were really together!

"I knew it was Manxi!" Uncle Liu will gain face and be very embarrassed, "I know how many catties and taels your Aunt Liu has, how can she make such a meal?" ”

"Thank you Manxi this time." Aunt Liu smiled and thanked her very much, "Thanks to Manxi's coincidence, otherwise where would I have made such a table of dishes." I hope that this time the boss's family affair can be successful. ”

"I feel like there's a drama this time." Aunt Liu was still unsatisfied with the meal just now, and immediately decided, "If my son's marriage can be completed, then the wedding banquet will be handed over to Manxi, what do you think?" ”

In this small village in the ravine, it is a good job to be in charge, just look at Uncle Li's mansion. Not only do you have wages and food, but the host of the wedding banquet will also give you some extra red envelopes.

Huamanxi is now in the stage of hard work, and naturally can't let go of any opportunity to make money.

"Then I will wish Brother Liu a good marriage as soon as possible. Since Uncle Liu can afford Manxi, Manxi will never refuse. Hua Manxi said sweetly.

"Okay, that's it!" Uncle Liu laughed, and then said in hindsight, "Hua Lao, Manxi, you are not here to visit the door, right?" ”

"It's true that there is something to trouble Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu." Hua Manxi nodded.

"Ah, you have something, then Aunt Liu didn't delay you, right? You kid is really, why do you leave me to cook and cook if you have something? Aunt Liu was very guilty.

"It's just a gesture, nothing." Hua Manxi continued, "Besides, I'm not in a hurry. ”

"It's the last time Manxi, hey, didn't the Ding family quit their relatives? Said that we want to return the marriage ceremony, otherwise we will have to marry Ding Erwa, and now Manxi and the head of the family have finally scraped together enough five taels of silver, so I want to return it to the Ding family as soon as possible, so as not to cause trouble for the Ding family, and I want to ask the village chief to go and be a witness. The eldest aunt lowered her voice and said cautiously.

This matter, how to say it, is also Manxi's sad thing, she liked Ding Xiucai so much before, it's not that she forgets it, the child is sensible, she doesn't dare to sprinkle salt on the child's wound, she wanted to come by herself, but she has no idea, where is the Ding family so good to think about?

"That's it, this matter is indeed not kind to the Ding family, if you withdraw from your relatives, you have to go back no matter how you decide the ceremony! What a shame! Uncle Liu looked up at the sky, "While it's not dark, let's go to Ding's house." ”

Although he has the heart to help Hua Manxi, but the Ding family Xiucai is there, and it is not good for him to tear his face with the Ding family, after all, his youngest son will also have to test his fame in the future, if there is really that luck, maybe he will be an official in the same dynasty as Ding Xiucai, and it is not good to make too ugly trouble.

But Hua Manxi's matter, he can't ignore it, such a good child, it is miserable enough to be divorced by Ding Xiucai, if she is forced to marry Ding Erwa's fool again, it will be really unreasonable!

"Thank you, Uncle Liu." Hua Manxi hurriedly thanked him and went out behind Uncle Liu.

"Oh, Manxi, you really see the outside, you have done our family such a big favor today, we are really doing our hands, what else do you say thank you?" Aunt Liu patted the back of Hua Manxi's hand in disgust.

The eldest aunt is not a person who talks much, she follows Manxi and keeps looking at Manxi without saying anything.

What is she worried about Manxi, if she sees that Ding Xiucai, she will be embarrassed, and she wants to ask Manxi not to go over, but she can't say it.

Several people soon arrived at the Ding family, and the Ding family was poorer than the Hua family because they were a fool.

Now, Ding Xiucai has won Xiucai, and with a job, he finally helped some people and repaired the house decently.
