"I'm relieved that you're doing something." Uncle Liu exclaimed, "Everyone has never heard of the name of this dish, and it sounds like it is made in a big restaurant, which is very face-saving." ”

"It seems to be the same, what kind of stewed duck my dad cooks, stewed chicken with wild mushrooms, boiled sweet potatoes with potatoes or something, this name sounds like slag." Li Qiuqiu interjected.

Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu were all amused by her, and several people laughed again.

"By the way, Manxi, this wedding banquet is scheduled for the first day of October, and the whole village will be invited at that time, Manxi, you let Xu Gongzi come over too." Uncle Liu said, and said with some apprehension, "He donated a few hundred taels of silver to our Peach Blossom Village to build roads, and he is a great benevolent man." ”

"Okay, I'll invite him for you, it's his business whether he comes or not." Hua Manxi nodded and replied.

"Ouch, you have opened your voice, where is the reason why Xu Gongzi can't come? I don't think Xu Gongzi is a cook at all, holding you like an eyeball. Li Qiuqiu suddenly interjected again.

"If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person, what nonsense are you talking about, people are engaged people." Hua Manxi rolled her eyes at Li Qiuqiu, for fear that she would continue to talk nonsense, so she had to say, "If you talk nonsense again, I'll ask Gongzi Xu to match Qingfeng with a girl." ”

"You!" Li Qiuqiu was really restrained, looked at Hua Manxi with blank eyes, and stopped talking.

Only then did Hua Manxi and Uncle Liu calculate the budget for the wedding, as well as the manpower to help.

The days passed quickly, these days, Hua Manxi pushed the chili sauce business, but he was happy, and went to the Qin family in the village to make a few new clothes, and took care of the vegetable garden in the yard, the chicken pen and duck rotten fish pond in order.

"Hua Xiaochu, Childe asked his subordinates to bring you a letter." was fiddling with flowers and plants in the yard, and Danyun came over and handed a letter to Hua Manxi.

Hua Manxi was very calm on his face, and deliberately muttered: "What are you writing to me for?" Have you asked me to cook food before you get home? ”

But he was very happy in his heart, and put down the meat that he had been fiddling with for a while.

This succulent grew on the roof of the old firewood house in this house, and it looked like a vibrant, and the roof was all over, and she still used Danyun to perform light skills and take a shovel up and get it down for her, and Hua Manxi made dozens of small flower pots, planted these succulents on the small flower pots, and put stones, turf, and it was also decent.

"Hey, I didn't admit it in front of Uncle Liu just now, so I wrote to you, hum, and said nothing?" Li Qiuqiu didn't know where it came out again, and said meaningfully.

"What's there? It's just a letter, maybe it's something nice for me to eat. Hua Manxikou said dishearteningly.

"Tsk, don't pretend, who can't see it, if Xu Gongzi is at home, then the eyeballs are glued to you, if not, do you think I will turn my mind to Qingfeng? Although I, Li Qiuqiu, am a face-seeker, I don't like men who have others in my heart. Li Qiuqiu said generously, "To be a woman, the most important thing is to be able to afford to put it down." ”

Hua Manxi: "......" Is her apprentice a little jumpy? What about the ancients who said yes? You, an ancient, came to teach her that a woman of the new era can afford to put it down? Is there a bit of putting the cart before the horse?

"Hey, what about your chubby leaves?" Li Qiuqiu saw that she was speechless by herself, she must have felt that she was a little shocked, hey, how lonely it is to be invincible. She sighed helplessly and decided to change the subject.

"Here it is." Hua Manxi pointed to the succulent ones he was fiddling with.

"Wow, Manxi! You're really, really ingenious! You've made these fat leaves look so good. Yo yo, it's like a painting. Li Qiuqiu looked at it one by one, and casually held two pots, "No, I have to put this in my room!" ”

"Take it if you like, I've made more than ten plates." Hua Manxi just likes this process, as for whether to raise it or not, it doesn't matter.

In order to hide his excitement, Hua Manxi made a new small flower plate in front of Li Qiuqiu, and then said: "This is very good-looking, you can put it in the room with a light breeze, he will come to see it and be surprised." ”

"That's right, I'm calling it borrowing flowers to worship the Buddha." Li Qiuqiu really got on the set, and walked away happily with the flowers.

Hua Manxi quieted down at this time, returned to his room with the letter in his arms, and opened the letterhead.

"Manxi, seeing that Xin'an is fine, everything is going well for me outside, but I miss you, and the food you cooked, the food is not delicious, the night is not good, you have to be careful in everything, don't leave alone, if there is anything to discuss with Uncle Zhao and Danyun, I will return home soon."

The signature is Xu Jinfei.

It's just a short letter, and there are no explicit love words, but it still makes Hua Manxi blush and heartbeat, and his heart is popping up.

She's this, is this considered love? But that Xu Jinfei, Uncle Zhao said that his family intended to give him family affairs, maybe he had already pointed it out-

What should she do?

Is it to fight for him to push off the marriage at home? Or according to his original idea, find a simple and kind farmer to spend this life together?

Hua Manxi was apprehensive for a while, and looked at the letter paper over and over again, the words on it were transparent through the back of the paper, and the wind and bones were upright, which seemed to be the same as Xu Jinfei's appearance-

Hey, it's annoying. Hua Manxi was extremely distressed, thought for a long time, and still wrote a reply letter with a pen.

In order to prevent him from laughing at his words, Hua Manxi deliberately made a lot of effort and wrote a reply neatly.

"Xu Gongzi, there is nothing to do at home, recently the family planted cabbage, pumpkins, beans, celery, etc., there is a hen hatching a nest of chicks, very cute, all over the yard, accidentally trampled to death by Uncle Zhao, Li Qiuqiu scolded Uncle Zhao for most of the day. Uncle Zhao and Danyun like to eat the kimchi I made and the bacon and sausage at home, so I soaked two more jars of kimchi, and made a lot of bacon and sausage, which you can eat when you come back, and plan to make a sausage claypot rice for you to eat, you must not have eaten it. By the way, my godfather held a banquet on the first day of October, my eldest brother married a daughter-in-law, and my godfather asked me to tell you to come and drink the wedding wine. ”

Hua Manxi couldn't write anything I miss you, you want me to say something like this, so I had to tell him all the trivial things at home, but I skipped these bad things that I was calculated by Hua Sangsang.

After writing the letter, she handed it to Danyun, who raised a carrier pigeon that specially delivered letters, and there were several carrier pigeons, which were fed by Danyun on weekdays, and others fed them, and they didn't eat them.

Hua Manxi and Li Qiuqiu were full of curiosity about these carrier pigeons, and secretly teased them several times, but they were almost not blinded by the pigeons.

After delivering the letter, Hua Manxi felt that his mood was a little better, and he returned to the kitchen, planning to cook a big meal to make up for the Mid-Autumn Festival that he didn't have a few days ago.

The Mid-Autumn Festival, naturally, is indispensable for moon cakes, and Uncle Zhao must have eaten all the moon cakes in general, since they want to do it, they must have not eaten it.

Moreover, Li Qiuqiu has a special understanding and talent for making pastries, so Hua Manxi decided to teach her to make a belated snowy mooncake.

Ready, sticky rice flour, glutinous rice flour, wheat flour, as well as red bean paste, purple sweet potato, sugar, and some milk was squeezed at Uncle Qin's house next door.

Hua Manxi poured an appropriate amount of white sugar into the milk, stirred well, then slowly poured in the flour, then stirred into a particle-free paste, then added vegetable oil, stirred and steamed in the pot for two quarters of an hour.

Purple potatoes are peeled and steamed, pounded into purple sweet potato puree, half of which is stuffed and half is mixed into the dough for coloring.

After the dough is kneaded, make it into long strips, cut it into small pieces of the same size, press it into a dough cake, wrap it in bean paste or purple potato filling, pinch the mouth, and press it into a cake shape with a mold.

In this way, the beautifully shaped snowy skin mooncake is ready.

Li Qiuqiu really drew inferences from each other, and adjusted the pineapple filling and raspberry-flavored mooncakes by himself.

Hua Manxi only made a drawer demonstration for Li Qiuqiu to see, and the rest of the moon cakes were made by Li Qiuqiu, and Uncle Liu has been very good to her since she was a child, so she decided to give more moon cakes to Uncle Liu, and let Uncle Liu send them to the woman's family when he gave the dowry, so the moon cakes in the back were printed with the word "happy cake".

Hua Manxi saw her tossing happily, which was also a good intention, so she didn't bother her anymore and made lunch by herself.

Since she is going to cook a big meal, she is not spicy or happy, so she naturally wants to make a luxurious spicy dish.

The popular spicy chicken, fish boiled pork slices, husband and wife lung slices, as well as Mao Xuewang, super spicy sauce beef, etc., Hua Manxi has made a long table of red dishes.

The method of spicy chicken is similar to that of Gong Bang chicken, and the boiled fish fillet is not much different from the method of sauerkraut fish, only this one is hairy and bloody, which she has not done for so long.

Mao Xuewang uses duck blood as the material, is a famous dish that originated in Chongqing in the previous life, and is also the originator of Chongqing cuisine.

Hua Manxi first took a fat duck and let it bleed, the duck blood was cut into strips, boiled in boiling water and then fished out.

Heat the oil, add the green onion, ginger and garlic and fry until fragrant, pepper, pepper, bay leaf, cinnamon and other ingredients and stir-fry until fragrant, pour in the broth, and add the cooking wine, put the duck blood, as well as the meat pieces, tripe and these meat vegetables are cooked after being put in, and the bean sprouts, lettuce and other vegetables are fried and put into the pot as the base dish.

After the meat vegetables are cooked, pour them into the basin where the bottom vegetables are placed, then heat the oil, then add pepper and chili peppers to taste, pour the hot oil into the large basin, and then sprinkle some green garlic to taste.

The so-called Jianghu dishes, peppers, green peppers, millet peppers, wild peppers and other ingredients are very much, so the dishes made are also super spicy, although Uncle Zhao and Danyun ate happily, but in the end the spicy taste could not be suppressed, and even drank several scoops of cold water.

"Manxi, you are a girl, how can you eat spicy food so much? None of these Northlanders can eat spicy food! Uncle Zhao was amazed.
