"The situation in Kyoto is stable, and when the news of the disappearance of the prince spreads, the grandfather of the country is seriously ill, and the house is safe for the time being." Uncle Zhao said in a quiet voice.

Xu Jinfei naturally understands the twists and turns, but it is inevitable that there is a sense of desolation that the birds are exhausted, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooking.

When the Beidi people called, their Xu family was a hero who stood up to the sky, and the Beidi people ran away, but the men of their Xu family had to become a sick man with unknown life and death to save their lives.

He slowly hooked his lips and smiled, his expression unchanged, and his deep eyes became darker and darker.

"Eating, what are you doing in a daze?" Xu Shizi drank the soup elegantly, and suddenly said loudly, "Tomorrow a notice will be posted, saying that the Xu Mansion is going to hire a cook." ”

"Okay, Childe." Uncle Zhao happily agreed.

"Didn't you just invite Aunt Komura? What other notices are posted? "The breeze was amazed.

"You don't understand this, there is competition to have an advantage, if you go directly to invite the little village girl, the little village girl still doesn't sit on the ground to start the price? But hiring a chef is different, a few more to apply, and we will occupy the initiative. Uncle Zhao slowly stroked his beard, revealing a scheming smile, and said lightly to the breeze, "You Zhao Ye, it is always you Zhao Ye, you can't see through the master's mind, how to be a personal guard!" ”

Breeze: "....."

Light Cloud: "......"

It's they who lose, it's they who lose!

However, people are not as good as heaven.

The next day, early in the morning, Hua Manxi got up early, but he was not ready to sell noodles.

"Uncle, aunt, I told Aunt Liu last time, Aunt Liu went to the town to bring food to her son today, and I will follow to take a look." Hua Manxi also deliberately changed into a better dress.

Xu Gongzi's ointment really has an extraordinary effect, she wiped it twice yesterday, and wiped it twice last night, and when she got up today, her aunt said that the abrasions on her face were almost invisible, only a little faint trace, and she couldn't see it if she didn't look carefully.

That shouldn't scare people, right?

She already has more than fifty taels of silver on hand, go to the market to see if there is anything to add, add some to the family, of course, the most important thing is that Aunt Liu is going to the academy in the town to see her son, and she wants to take Hua Xiaosong to the academy to have a look.

"Then you have to be careful, today is a fair, and there are a lot of people." The eldest aunt asked, "Aunt Liu took you to Aunt Liu's favor, but you still have to give the car money." ”

The eldest aunt said, took out a dozen pennies from her purse and handed it to her: "This is the money you earned, and there is still any surplus after paying back the money, you can take it." ”

"Uncle, don't worry, I have money, and I still keep the money I earn." Hua Manxi pushed, hurriedly ate something, and said, "What about Komatsu, I'm going to take Komatsu to buy candy." ”

"Sister, here, here, I still have the two pennies you gave me." Hua Xiaosong was very happy, he had grown so big, this was the first time he had gone to the market.

Listening to Erniu, they said that the market is fun, selling everything, and there are acrobatics.

"Hurry up, don't let Aunt Liu wait." Hua Manxi took Hua Komatsu's hand.

"Be careful, don't cause trouble to others, if you are free, go see Dayang!" The eldest aunt admonished uneasily.

"Got it." Hua Manxi and Hua Xiaosong said in unison, and happily went to the village chief's house.

Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu are already waiting, in the entire Taohua Village, there are no more than three families with mule carts, in the past, the village chief was empty, and when he was in the market, he would also pull the villagers to the market to earn a few copper plate car money, but this time he promised to bring flowers to Manxi, so he didn't bring other villagers.

"Manxi, are you here?" As soon as Aunt Liu saw Hua Manxi, she immediately stepped forward affectionately, and said with a smile on her face, "This time, I really want to thank you, the family affair that our eldest man said last time has been completed!" Last night, the girl's family sent a matchmaker to say, just wait for the eight characters, and then be hired! ”

"Really, congratulations to Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu." Hua Manxi sincerely congratulated.

"Thanks to you, that girl is a pig farmer in Yangjia Village next door, I heard that it is for the big families in the town, the conditions are good, but the vision is higher, thanks to you for showing your hand and suppressing them!" Aunt Liu was very happy, although this eldest son said that he had a decent errand and was a gentleman in the academy, but after all, he was old, and he failed to pass the township examination several times, and he was disheartened, but this family affair dragged on again, which was really a disease in her heart.

Now that this family affair has been settled, she and Uncle Liu are very happy.

"Get in the car, let's talk as we go." Aunt Liu pulled Hua Manxi into the mule cart, and Uncle Liu drove in front.

The mule cart was not as luxurious as a horse-drawn carriage, and the back was actually just a board cart, enclosed with some wooden planks, which did not provide shade from the sun and rain, but it was much better than walking.

The mule cart did not go fast, and it was about ten kilometers from Taohua Village to the town, and it took almost an hour to arrive.

The scenery of this town is really different, although it is not very prosperous, but it should be there.

Especially there is a wharf, the wharf area is particularly prosperous, the merchants who come and go, all kinds of stalls, really called Hua Manxi and Hua Xiaosong are dazzling.

The academy is near the pier, and when you pass the pier, there are fishing boats docking.

"It's a fishing boat, it's a fishing boat! Uncle Liu, can you stop and look at the fishing boats, I want to buy some seafood! "Hua Manxi has been in this place for so long, and this is the first time he has come out, and he is very excited and shouts.

"Okay, okay, let's go and have a look, buy some by the way and cook a meal at Dalang's, and we'll go to the market after eating." Uncle Liu said with a smile.

The group stopped the mule cart and headed for the fishing boat.

The fishing boats gradually approached the shore, and the surroundings were full of people who had come to catch the market, and the sound was boiling and very lively.

"Most of this fishing boat is contracted by restaurants, restaurants, and large households in the town or city, and only at this time when it docks, some seafood that is not in good condition and scattered will be sold to individual customers." Uncle Liu walked in front, blocking the flow of people for Hua Manxi and Hua Xiaosong, and said loudly.

"In this way, aren't there a lot of restaurants in the town that make seafood?" Hua Manxi asked.

"Of course, this seafood is a characteristic of our Shishan County." Uncle Liu said with a smile.

As he spoke, several people had already crowded to the front.

The fishing boat was getting closer and closer, and Hua Xiaosong's eyes lit up: "Wow, what a big boat, sister, it's the first time I've seen such a boat, by the way, sister, it's the first time you've seen it, why aren't you excited?" Hua Xiaosong stood in front of him and shouted and screamed, very excited.

What's in it? She'd seen all the bigger boats. Hua Manxi was secretly amused in his heart.

The fishing boats soon docked, and the workers waiting on the wharf flocked to carry the seafood, and some of the bad and finely broken ones were picked aside and began to be sold.

Hua Manxi looked at all kinds of fish, sea crabs, conchs, squid, prawns, and many of them were still alive.

She is a chef and has a heartfelt love for all kinds of ingredients, and she is naturally happy to see such a delicious feast of ingredients.

"Komatsu, what do you want to eat? This is a sea crab, this is a prawn, this is a conch, this is -" Hua Manxi pointed to the seafood and said to Hua Xiaosong.

"Wow, it's the first time I've seen such a big shrimp, and there are shrimp in the creek in our village, but it's far worse than this—" Hua Xiaosong said in surprise.

"yes, this is a prawn, do you want to eat this? Shall we buy some? Hua Manxi asked.

"Yes!" Hua Xiaosong nodded vigorously, if he told the friends in the village that he had eaten such a big shrimp, wouldn't they be envious to death?

"Manxi, this is not cheap, twenty yuan a catty." The village chief grabbed Hua Manxi, "It's better to buy something else, you see that squid is cheaper, ten cents can buy two catties!" ”

"Out of the way, let's buy a few and try them." Hua Manxi smiled, Hua Xiaosong worked so hard to sell noodles with him, he wanted to eat this prawn, so he had to buy some to try it.

In the end, Hua Manxi bought a conch for ten yuan and three catties, and bought a prawn for twenty yuan a catty.

The village chief also bought seafood for the first time, and also bought some with Huamanxi.

Hua Manxi was about to leave, but saw that the seafood was covered with a lot of seaweed, and some of them were edible kelp!

It's been a long time since I've eaten kelp! Chilled kelp is delicious and healthy, and it is her favorite!

"Uncle, did you throw away all this seaweed?" Hua Manxi saw the workers throw the seaweed under the boat and asked the uncle who sold the seaweed.

"Of course it's throwing it away, and this doesn't sell for money." The uncle looked at her suspiciously.

"Can I take some then? I haven't seen anything like this yet. Hua Manxi asked with suppressed joy.

"Take whatever, take whatever." The uncle waved his hand and muttered, "This girl is really strange, she wants seaweed." ”

Hua Manxi was full of joy, and filled a basket full of kelp with the basket he took to the market, and there was also seaweed in it, but it was more troublesome to dry the seaweed, and besides, he couldn't take so much, so Hua Manxi told Hua Xiaosong to only pick the kelp and take it.

Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu were dumbfounded, but they also helped pick a basket.

This kelp has just come out of the water, and it is very heavy, but fortunately, the basket is hollowed, and it comes out with the water, otherwise it would have to die severely.

"Thank you Uncle Liu, I'll send you a copy after this thing is ready." Although Hua Manxi is not beautiful now, his mouth is sweet enough, and when he saw Uncle Liu panting constantly with the basket of kelp, he hurriedly sold it.

"You kid, you're so polite, you're going to give us a copy of everything!" Aunt Liu laughed, "But Manxi, this thing is really edible?" ”

"Of course you can eat it, my uncle has been with a fishing boat, he said that there are no vegetables on the boat, and the workers sometimes cook this seaweed to eat, but it doesn't taste very good, so I learned some methods in the recipe, and it must be delicious." Hua Manxi replied confidently.

This kelp is a good thing, and there are many ways to make it, especially the cold kelp is the most famous.
