Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Prince of the World Becomes a Coachman
Sour and hot shredded potatoes and desserts, Hua Manxi asked Li Qiuqiu to make them, sour and hot shredded potatoes, Li Qiuqiu has already made them once before, and this time she did it better than last time, which shows that she also has some talent.
As for this dessert, it is even simpler, as long as the lotus seeds and white fungus are soaked, boiled water and then put in the ingredients, the ingredients are boiled to taste, and then an appropriate amount of rock sugar can be added.
When a table is ready, it's just time to eat.
"Hua Xiaochu, are you ready? This one is up to you. As the dishes were being served, a gentle voice sounded behind him.
Hua Manxi looked back, it was the light breeze, and he was holding a pineapple full of hard leaves in his hand!
"Wow, this is a wild fruit, I've eaten it, it's delicious." Li Qiuqiu is a native of Taohua Village, and this kind of wild fruit that is everywhere in the mountains and fields has naturally been eaten.
"I'm from the Northland, I've never seen fruit like this, and I've heard them say they can eat it, so I'll pick it for you to see." Light Breeze said a little embarrassed.
"This is not only for eating, but also for cooking." Hua Manxi took the pineapple, "I'll get it down first for you to taste, and I'll use this to make you a delicious dish at night!" ”
She took the pineapple, peeled it neatly, picked out the eye on the pineapple with a knife, cut the pineapple into small pieces, soaked it in salted water, and then put it on a plate, inserted a toothpick, and brought it to the table.
"What is this?" Uncle Zhao is a natural foodie, and he smelled the unique aroma of pineapple meat, "Why do I smell a little familiar with this taste?" ”
"Of course I'm familiar with it, this thing is all over the mountains behind us." Qingfeng glanced at him, "I heard those workers say that this thing can be eaten, and I smell it quite fragrant, so I picked one back and let Hua Xiaochu take a look." ”
"Of course I can eat this, I don't even know how much I've eaten." Li Qiuqiu picked up a toothpick, pricked a piece of pulp, stuffed it into his mouth, and muttered, "This thing is available almost all year round, but I haven't eaten it when I cook." “
Uncle Zhao and Xu Jinfei also took a piece and put it in their mouths, it was indeed sweet and delicious, and the water was sufficient.
"Hua Xiaochu said that this can still be cooked, let me pick a few more." Qingfeng looked at the table with satisfaction and a table of dishes, and only felt that he had really ended this period of down-and-out days! couldn't help but look at Hua Manxi's eyes with a little more gratitude.
"Come, drink the soup first." Hua Manxi has been here for so long in ancient times, this is the first time to eat fruit, I can't help but eat two more pieces, and I am in a very good mood, so I took the initiative to stand up and put a bowl of bright and fragrant duck soup for everyone.
"This is lotus root and duck soup, clear the heart, nourish, on such a hot day, everyone drink more."
"As I said, when we were in the north, the weather was dry, and it didn't rain often, so we had to eat beef and mutton, but when we came to the south, it rained a lot, and I felt even thirstier than when I was in the north, and I couldn't do it without drinking water for a day." Danyun frowned a little puzzled.
"That's because the weather in the south is hot, not dry, but humid and hot, so I have to drink more beautiful soup that nourishes and clears the fire." Hua Manxi said without thinking, "I not only stewed the soup, but also made a nourishing dessert in Qiuqiu, and then a bowl of sugar water after eating." ”
"Tsk, it's a beautiful day." Uncle Zhao had already drunk it, this old duck soup, Hua Manxi had already glanced at the oil, it was indeed sweet and delicious, and the duck meat was also stewed softly, and with a light tear, the flesh and bone were separated.
A table of dishes, the rice is fragrant, the softness and hardness are moderate, the soup is fresh and sweet, salty and delicious, the meat dishes are spicy, the vegetarian dishes are sour and refreshing, and there are nourishing desserts.
"By the way, Xu Gongzi, I want to go to the town to deliver goods in the afternoon, can I use your carriage?" Hua Manxi was very satisfied when he saw that everyone was eating with relish, and took the opportunity to make a request.
Xu Jinfei, who had been drinking soup elegantly, paused his gaze lightly on her face when he heard this, and explored for a few seconds before he said slowly: "Send chili sauce?" ”
"Hmm." Hua Manxi nodded.
Xu Shizi lowered his eyebrows and took another sip of soup, and then said slowly: "Yes, I'll send you there." ”
Hua Manxi originally wanted to go to the academy to see Xiao Song, but when he heard that Xu Jinfei sent him, he was afraid of delaying his time, so he waved his hand again and again: "This, this is not necessary, son, you have precious time-"
"Will you catch a car?" Xu Jinfei glanced at her and directly cut off Hua Manxi's words.
"I'll catch the car! I can still help! The breeze hurriedly swallowed the squid in its mouth and volunteered.
This damned child! But don't you really feel the murderous gaze of Lord Shizi? Uncle Zhao almost didn't hold back, squirted out the soup in his mouth, and after swallowing it hard, he only felt that his heart ached.
"Yes, just let Brother Qingfeng help me catch the car." Hua Manxi felt that the breeze was much kinder than Xu Gongzi, and she felt very embarrassed as long as she thought that Xu Gongzi had reached into her room last night and wiped off the mask on her face.
"Ahem! Ahem! Xu Jinfei couldn't figure out why he fell in love with such an idiot back then, and kept clearing his throat.
"What's wrong with Gongzi Xu? Is it an uncomfortable throat? Drink plenty of soup to moisturize. Hua Manxi saw that Xu Jinfei had been coughing, and kindly scooped a spoonful of soup for him and poured it into his bowl.
"Ahem, ahem! Ahem, ahem! "Xu Jinfei is not pretending at this time, he is really choking!
"Childe, Childe, are you sick?" Danyun looked at Xu Jinfei worriedly while gently patting him on the back.
Uncle Zhao watched coldly, without any waves in his heart, and continued to peel the shrimp.
Xu Jinfei finally eased up, and chewed the dish with chopsticks gritted his teeth, then calmed down and said to the breeze: "Didn't you just say that you wanted to pick this fruit and make something to eat for her?" I don't want anything delicious! ”
These words implicitly warned, implied a threat.
Qingfeng is stupid, but Qingyun is not stupid, he is holding the vegetables quietly on his face, but he stomps on the light breeze fiercely behind his back.
"Oh yes, I'm going to pick fruit, I'm going to pick a lot!" Qingfeng came back to his senses at this time, and smiled at the prince flatteringly, "Childe, go catch the car." ”
Hua Manxi: What happened to "......"?
"Wow, Manxi, are you going to town? I'm going too! Li Qiuqiu said immediately.
Xu Dashizi, who had only slightly raised the corners of his lips, suddenly sank again.
"Okay, anyway, Xu Gongzi's carriage is very spacious, hurry up and eat it, let's quickly load the chili sauce, and visit the market." Hua Manxi responded in one bite, poured the soup into the rice bowl, mixed it twice with chopsticks, ate a bowl of rice hastily, and went to work.
Li Qiuqiu hadn't been to the market for a long time, so he was happy in his heart, and he also learned from Hua Manxi's appearance and hastily made a bowl of soup and rice to eat, so he went to help.
There were only four masters and servants left on the table, looking at each other with different thoughts.
"I don't have the eyesight to see!" Uncle Zhao glanced at the breeze and teased.
"Yes, this Miss Li is really too eyeless!" Qingfeng forcibly saved his dignity and said to Xu Dashizi flatteringly, "Childe eats shrimp, this shrimp, Hua Xiaochu is delicious." ”
Xu Dashizi snorted coldly, quite unhappy, and looked at the breeze with heavy eyes.
He originally wanted to ask the breeze to let Li Qiuqiu stay, but after thinking about it, according to the character of the little village girl, she found out, and she might have to make a big fire.
Forget it, let them be.
After Qingfeng and Danyun finished eating, they received the eye instructions from Lord Shizi, and automatically and consciously went to help fill the chili sauce.
There were also more than a dozen jars of chili sauce made this time, and Hua Manxi remembered the chili sauce he promised to give to Xiao Song's little classmate, so he took a few more cans, thinking that when he arrived in the town, he would just go to the academy.
With the help of someone, the chili sauce was quickly loaded, and Light Breeze and Light Cloud thoughtfully stacked the jars onto the wagon.
Uncle Zhao watched from afar, and only felt that there were mixed tastes in his heart.
You must know this horse, but Gongzi's favorite horse is a sweaty horse, which used to fight and gallop on the battlefield, but now it is used to pull chili sauce for the little village girl-
He was wronged for this horse!
Along the way, Hua Manxi and Li Qiuqiu sat in the back and squeaked, Xu Shizi changed into a coarse linen dress and put on a straw hat, as long as he didn't look at his face, he looked a little like a coachman.
The horse ran much faster than Uncle Liu's mule cart, but in less than half an hour, it arrived at Jinyutang.
"Shopkeeper! The little girl who sells chili sauce is here! Standing at the door to greet the guest is yesterday's little dog who smelled the fragrance of the Buddha jumping over the wall, as soon as he saw the flowers coming over, he immediately stepped forward to greet her, "The little shopkeeper, our shopkeeper said, as long as you deliver the goods, don't need to order, don't look, how much silver you say is how much silver!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Hua Manxi understood, this chili sauce must have attracted a lot of guests to Jinyutang.
She raised her eyes, the Jin Yutang, which was a little deserted yesterday, was actually bustling today, and she couldn't even squeeze in.
"Little shopkeeper, you're here, but you're delivering chili sauce? Great, I have already sent out more than 100 cans of chili sauce today, and there are still queues for this guest, so it's not a problem to send 200 cans today! You've got to do it for me! When the golden shopkeeper heard the little dog's shouting, he put down the abacus in his hand, moved his body and walked out of the door, and was a little more respectful to Hua Manxi.
"Haha, don't worry, don't worry, this has just come out of the chili sauce, the guests are fresh, and it will cool down after a while." Hua Manxi said reasonably.
"Then I have to order another thousand jars, and I'm not afraid of a thousand jars." The golden shopkeeper took out the silver from his bosom and stuffed it to Hua Manxi, "This is the rest of the payment, and there are 1,000 jars of silver." ”
Hua Manxi opened his eyes and looked, obediently, this is a gold ingot!
