The Peasant Gourment Chef

Mother Lotus entered the room, and after a while she came out with a handkerchief tightly in her hands, and handed it over reluctantly. Her hands were shaking, showing the degree of heartache.

Zhang Tieshan pulled the handkerchief over, opened it, and found a few pieces of silver inside. Counting it, it was almost twelve or thirty taels, but not fifteen taels.

Mother Lotus took the initiative to explain: "I really don't have that much money in the family. This is all the money, Tieshan. For the sake of the two in-laws, let's end this matter."

Zhang Tieshan didn't say anything. After he took the money into his arms, he said, "Okay, I don't want the money if I don't have enough money. Then take these furniture for it, Qingshan, Xiaoer, give it to me!"

Zhang Qingshan and Luo Er got the order, and immediately grabbed the **** in the corner and started smashing. When they saw what they were smashing, the sound of crackling sounded throughout the house, attracting many people from the village to come to watch.

"Zhang Tieshan, what are you doing! Stop it! Don't you think it's okay?" Lady Lotus shouted unbearably.

Li Changfu's daughter-in-law exclaimed, "Ah—stop it—you guys stop it—"

Seeing that the two were still smashing, Li Changfu's eyes were red with anger, "You guys are so deceiving!" As he said that, he was about to go up to hit Zhang Qingshan, who was smashing things, and Li Changshou who followed behind also went up to stop Luo Er.

Seeing this, Zhang Tieshan slammed his eyes and kicked his long legs. Accompanied by the wind, Li Changfu and Li Changshou who were about to be beaten were kicked to the ground.

Seeing that everything was smashed, and her son was also beaten, Mother Lotus began to cry, and sat on the ground, crying and beating the ground, "I'm so miserable, the Zhang family is deceiving people too much, and my daughter is divorced now. He even went to the door to rob money, and after robbing the money, he even smashed my house. You judge me, is there any reason for this? Uuuu......"

Li Changfu's daughter-in-law also followed the way of the lotus mother and cried, asking the villagers to judge them, but unfortunately, everyone knew the virtues of the Li family, and no one came out to give the Li family a head start.

While the two women in the Li family were crying, the things in the house were almost smashed, Zhang Tieshan raised his hand to stop and said, "This is the price you pay for bullying my family when I'm not at home, if you're not convinced, come here. Find me." After speaking, he took Zhang Qingshan and Luo Er out of the gate of Li's house.

The villagers who were watching the lively at the door automatically gave way, and just watched a group of three people leave the village.

On the way home, Zhang Qingshan was overjoyed, "Brother, I'm so relieved today, look at the cowardice of the Li family! They were very arrogant before."

Zhang Tieshan didn't speak, and there was no expression on his face.

Zhang Qingshan is still happy to say to himself, "It's good, the money is coming back, we have a surplus of money in our family, and we can buy everything we don't have at home. Brother, I still want to eat meat, I want to eat. Braised pork, what the woman cooked last time was really delicious—"

After saying this, Zhang Qingshan suddenly realized what he had said, patted his head embarrassingly, and subconsciously looked at Zhang Tieshan's face, seeing that his brother's face was not angry because he mentioned the woman, he was relieved , said: "Brother, did you hear what the Li family said just now? That woman was kicked out when she returned to her mother's house. It's really a wicked person who has a bad reward. Now even her mother's family doesn't want to take her in. Let's see what she will do!"

Zhang Tieshan's eyes moved and his lips pursed slightly.

......................................................

Li Hehua didn't know what happened in the Li family. At this time, she was sitting with Cao Simei's family for lunch.

Today, Li Hehua cooked the dishes on this table. Cao Simei's family was overjoyed. Looking at the table of fragrant dishes, all eyes lit up. Although it is said that farmers rarely eat meat, they are not so greedy for meat. The reason why their eyes glow is because

The dishes on this table at noon were so different from the usual ones, and the smell was unbearable.

Cao Simei took Li Hehua's hand and thanked him: "Big sister, thank you, sister. Today's meal is delicious without having to eat it."

Li Hehua hurriedly waved his hand, "What thanks, eldest sister, it's me who should say thanks. If it wasn't for your family to let me live here, I wouldn't have a place to live here."

Cao Simei smiled and clapped her hand, "Okay, okay, don't say thank you anymore, let's eat quickly, everyone is hungry."

When they heard that they could eat, everyone was very excited. Several children immediately picked up the chopsticks and couldn't wait to eat. Even Cao Simei's husband, He Da, was in a hurry to stretch out the chopsticks just like the children.

Cao Simei's eldest son was the first to swallow the meat in his mouth and gave Li Hehua a thumbs up, "Auntie Li, the dishes are delicious, your craftsmanship is amazing! I have never eaten such delicious dishes. "

Cao Simei's eldest daughter also looked at Li Hehua with bright eyes, "Aunt Li, no wonder you can cook rice noodles, the dishes you cook are so delicious, my brother used to go to the river to catch fish and come back to eat, but my mother made it. The fish has a fishy smell, and everyone doesn't like it."

The children in the family nodded in agreement, and even He Da showed approval, so angry that Fourth Sister Cao stared and pretended to be angry, "Okay, you guys with no conscience, even if I cook for you every day, you still dare to dislike my cooking. The food is not delicious!"

Everyone at the table laughed.

Cao Simei's youngest son is only eight years old, and she is not afraid of his mother, and retorted: "Mother, your cooking is really much different from Aunt Li, Aunt Li makes this fish delicious, you and Li Auntie, let's learn, next time my brother and I go fishing, we can eat such delicious fish every day."

Cao Simei nodded her youngest son's head, and said angrily, "You think you can learn it just by looking at it. You also need to be talented in cooking, otherwise anyone can be a chef."

The younger son pouted in disappointment.

Li Hehua said with a smile: "Eldest sister, you saw it when I was making fish. You can learn from me and make it a few more times. It's delicious. It's not difficult. If you don't understand anything, just ask me. "

Hearing what Li Hehua said, Cao Simei was very happy, "The big sister, my sister will thank you first, and if you can't, you can guide me." She also wanted to make delicious dishes.

At the end of the meal, every plate was empty, and even the vegetable soup was eaten by the children. After the meal, they held their stomachs and sighed contentedly. I asked Li Hehua if he could make it tomorrow, and got Cao Simei's fried chestnuts.

Li Hehua was amused.

The next day was the day when Old Man Wang's house was going to have a wedding banquet. Li Hehua went directly from Cao Simei's house to Old Man Wang's house.

The Wang family was very polite to Li Hehua. After all, the delicious sauerkraut fish that Li Hehua made last time almost bit off their tongue, and they have been thinking about it since then, and they wanted to eat it again.

This time when Li Hehua came, the first thing Old Man Wang did was to say to Li Hehua: "Can you make a pickled fish on the banquet today? It's the one you cooked at my house last time. We bought ten fish specially today, pickled cabbage. Ready too."

Since the owner has said so, Li Hehua has no reason to disagree. He agreed immediately and planned to make all the fish today into pickled fish.

After making arrangements for the fish, Li Hehua went to see other ingredients. Among the ingredients were chicken, duck, pork belly, ribs, and beef. Li Hehua thought about it and planned to make a large plate of chicken, a dish of fried duck, and a dish today. Pork, pork ribs with sauce, stewed beef, and stewed old hen, meat dishes are already rich enough. For vegetarian dishes, make tofu soup, make vegetarian three diced, make mushroom green vegetables, make dry pot cauliflower, Then make a fish-flavored shredded pork, and add a mapo tofu, adding up to a total of twelve dishes.

Li Hehua reported the menus in his heart to the Wang family one by one, intending to ask their opinions, but the Wang family listened straight, why, because they have never heard of many dishes before, this is the first time they have heard of it , just as amazing as the pickled fish that day.

The ingredients used by farmers to make rice noodles are nothing more than chicken, duck, and fish. Everyone does the same thing, that is, braised chicken, stewed chicken, braised fish, braised pork, etc., etc. Where have you seen what Li Hehua said in his mouth? Although they have never seen or heard of these various dishes, it does not prevent them from hearing from the name that these dishes are very delicious.

Old man Wang waved his hand directly, "Just do as you plan, we trust you, don't ask what we mean."

Li Hehua got the authorization, forgot everything outside, and immediately threw himself into the kitchen to start cooking.

This time, two large pots are still frying at the same time. Li Hehua holds two frying spoons in his hand, and starts working at the same time with his left and right hands. He cooks the large plate chicken on the left, makes the pork ribs on the right, put salt in the left hand, and soy sauce in the right. No, the Wang family's jaws were about to drop, and the cooks watched Li Hehua's actions several times and forgot their tasks, and it was Li Hehua who reminded him aloud to come back to his senses.

The people in the Wang family who helped cook in the kitchen today were almost in awe of Li Hehua.

There is a disadvantage of the villagers making mats, that is, the speed is slow. Because there is only one chef, usually the dishes in the front are almost finished, and the dishes in the back are served. Some people even only have one dish before, and the guests are eagerly waiting for the next dish, so embarrassing.

It turned out that this problem was not a problem for Li Hehua at all. She cooked the dishes much faster than the guests ate them. Before she had eaten much of the previous dish, the next dish came up. In a blink of an eye, the whole table was covered with dishes. When all the dishes were finished, there was not a single empty plate on the table, and all the dishes were hot.

Today's guests from Wang's family have learned a lot. Not only have they eaten a lot of dishes they have never seen before, but they have never seen a banquet where the food is served so quickly. How many cooks have you hired? It's too fast to serve, and this dish is so delicious, I'm afraid it's not Zhou Laogen that you invited?"

"Yes, yes, Zhou Laogen's cooking is not like this, and we have never seen these dishes before, so they are very novel."

"I'm sure it's not Zhou Laogen. I said, old man Wang, who did your family invite? Tell us. Next time, we will invite this person to be the banquet."

The old man Wang received countless compliments today because of this place, and everyone was about to float up. Hearing this, he said with a smile: "My family has only hired one cook, but this cook is very good, not only is the speed fast, but the taste is better than Best restaurant in town.”

Although these words are awkward, they are understandable and true. Everyone is even more curious about the people who are in the audience.

Wang Laotou had already sold enough, so he told everyone about Li Hehua, which made many guests secretly remember her in their hearts.

After Li Hehua finished his work, he said goodbye to the Wang family after having lunch together with the kitchen assistants. In addition to the money for the meal, the aunt of the Wang family also gave Li Hehua a lot of vegetables and melon seeds candy. She gave most of the things to their family, but kept half of the melon seed candy, because she wanted to leave it to that little guy to eat.

Although she has nothing to do with the Zhang family at all, she couldn't let go of the poor little guy in her heart. I don't know why, since knowing that the little guy is the son of her current body, Li Hehua's feeling has changed. , In addition to pity, there is an inexplicable feeling in her heart, which makes her miss the little guy very much. If there is anything delicious, she will always think of him first, especially she wants that little guy to be healthy and happy. of.

Hey, let's take it as compensation for this poor little guy for the original owner.

Li Hehua planned to go back to see the little guy secretly after the cakes were sold tomorrow. She knew that Zhang Tieshan and Zhang Qingshan would go hunting in the fields or in the mountains every day, and Zhang Lin's family didn't stay at home the whole time, and would go out to wash up from time to time. Clothes or chatting with neighbors. At this time, there is only a little guy in the house. She can sneak in and give him something to eat without knowing it.

However, before that, the most important thing for her is to find a place to live. She can't stay in Cao Simei's house temporarily. Although Cao Simei's family is very enthusiastic to let her just stay there, she is embarrassed to stay at other people's house all the time. .

In the afternoon, Li Hehua borrowed the kitchen of Cao Simei's house to make cakes again. This time, he made a lot of cakes for Cao Simei's family to taste. He also wrapped a separate portion in a greased paper bag and put it in a basket. This is for the little guy.

Early the next morning, Li Hehua came to town again to sell cakes.

He hadn't come for several days. Many old customers came to ask Li Hehua why he hadn't come these days. Li Hehua smiled and explained that there was something going on at home. Then he entered the busy pastry selling business, and in less than an hour, two baskets of pastries were sold. All are sold out, only the one in the basket is left unsold.

After Li Hehua bought the raw materials, he walked back with the basket on his back. Instead of going directly to Cao Simei's house, he went back to Zhang's house and hid for a while not far away. When he saw Zhang Lin's leaving the house, he confirmed that the Zhang family was alone. None, this is the flash to enter.

Li Hehua went straight to the kitchen and saw the little guy behind the stove.

I don't know if it was an illusion. She felt that the little guy seemed to be thinner than before she left. There was not a trace of flesh on his face, as if only a thin layer of skin was left on the bones, and his two small claws were even thinner than chicken feet. , the arm was broken as soon as it was exerted, which made people feel extremely uncomfortable.

In modern times, which child is not fleshy, how has she ever seen such a thin child? If it was her child, she sure--

Li Hehua's thoughts suddenly stopped, because strictly speaking, this little guy is now her child.

Li Hehua was in a complicated mood. He walked slowly to the little guy and squatted down, opened the basket, took out the cakes and candies in it, and handed them to the little guy with a soft voice, "Baby, what do you think I brought you? Do you remember, this is cake and red bean cake, you have eaten before."

Li Hehua opened the paper bag with the candy and showed it to the little guy, "Look, baby, there are candies here, sweet candies, very delicious, you can stay and eat slowly, but remember not to eat too much in one day, You can't eat it before you go to bed, or the worms will bite your teeth, you know?"

After Li Hehua finished speaking, seeing that the little guy didn't move, he simply held the paper bag with his hands and handed it to the little guy for him to see. The result was surprising that the little guy's eyes moved, and he actually cast his eyes on the paper bag. , After a long while, he slowly stretched out his little hand, picked up a piece of cake and put it into his mouth.

Li Hehua almost laughed happily.

Watching the little guy eat some pastries, it was getting late, Li Hehua was afraid of meeting Zhang Lin, so he had to put down the food and explained to the little guy: "Baby, I have to go, I don't want to be with your grandma. And Dad and the others bumped into each other, otherwise they couldn't tell, and they thought I was going to hurt you."

Li Hehua looked at the little guy with pity for the last time, "Baby, I'll see you next time, you have to eat obediently, do you know? You can't lose weight, you know?"

After explaining, Li Hehua stood up, observed at the door of the kitchen, and confirmed that there was no one there, so he hurried out and left Zhang's house in a flash.

How did Li Hehua know that all her actions were taken into account.
