The Peasant Gourment Chef

After Cao Simei left, Li Hehua’s mouth grinned, as if seeing money flying towards her.

She really didn’t expect that the old man Wang’s house would have another business before it was established. This was much better than what she had expected at the beginning. It seems that she showed her hand that day, and the villagers in that village were already there. She has laid a good foundation in her heart, and maybe more people who want to hold banquets will come to her in the future, so she will not have to worry about making money.

Looking at Li Hehua’s smiling face, Zhang Lin’s sense of reality was now realized, and he had to believe that this woman really had the ability to make a face for others, and she was also full of praise.

Zhang Lin’s heart is not calm, of course, except for the little child Shulin, everyone’s heart is not calm. In their hearts, this woman Li Hehua is a vicious, pungent, delicious, lazy shrew. It can be said that she is useless, but this useless woman, at this time, can let others come to the house and invite them to do the banquet in person. The psychology of several people is undoubtedly that a boulder was thrown into the lake, stirring people’s hearts.

Zhang Lin couldn’t help but ask, “Can you do the banquet?”

Li Hehua’s smile paused slightly, thinking about how to answer in her heart. She didn’t know how the original owner’s cooking skills were, and she didn’t know what the Zhang family knew about the original owner. It will not arouse the suspicion of the Zhang family.

But cooking is her way of making a living. She can’t hide her cooking skills for fear of being suspected by others. If she is suspected of cooking skills, then she has no choice but to leave the house early.

After thinking about it, Li Hehua nodded generously, “Yes, I will make mats. Last time I went to Lianhua Village, a family made a reservation for their family mats. The eldest sister who came here this time is also from Lianhuacun. It depends on my craft. All right, I’ll be invited to the table.”

Seeing that Mrs Zhang Lin wanted to ask questions again, Li Hehua took the lead to cut off the conversation, “I’m hungry, I’ll make some food first, I haven’t eaten since morning.” Then he went to the kitchen.

Zhang Lin’s question had to be swallowed, and she couldn’t do it if she chased after this woman and talked behind her. Anyway, this woman has nothing to do with their family. It doesn’t matter if she will be a party or not, my son said. , she’ll have to go after a while.

Li Hehua entered the kitchen and sighed softly.

I am afraid that the Zhang family is very suspicious of her now. After all, she is very different from the original owner. It is impossible for her to pretend to be a best **** in order not to make others suspect. She still has to do it step by step. Her own, the Zhang family doubts are inevitable, they just don’t know if they will think about the matter of resurrecting her from the dead. If they really know that she is resurrected by the dead, the ancients are so superstitious, maybe they will really unite the whole village to clean up her, then But it’s over.

However, they shouldn’t have thought about it.

After calming down for a while, Li Hehua started to cook, and after finishing the meal, he had to make the cakes to be sold tomorrow.

Just now Cao Simei said that her eldest brother’s wedding is in a hurry, and it will be done the day after tomorrow, which means that she can only sell it for another day tomorrow, and there is no time to go to town the day after tomorrow to sell.

According to the ingredients provided by Cao Simei, Li Hehua silently thought about the dishes to be made the day after tomorrow while cooking. After the meal was ready, he ate in the kitchen and started making pastries non-stop. It was already evening, she ate two cakes for dinner, washed up early and started to rest.

The next day, Li Hehua still got up very early. He sold the cakes in his hand after only half a day in town, and hurried home to pack up. Cao Simei’s elder brother’s village is far away from here, and there are two days of banquets. The first day is for relatives in the family to eat first, and the next day is for a formal wedding banquet. , so Cao Simei asked her to pack her things and go there ahead of time, and set up a room for her to stay there, and then came back when the banquet was officially finished.

Li Hehua agreed. Anyway, she lives wherever she lives. She has no sense of belonging here, as long as she has a place to live. So this afternoon, she had to rush to Lotus Village to meet with Cao Simei, and then go to Cao Simei’s mother’s house together.

Li Hehua didn’t bring anything, he simply brought a change of clothes, and then his own towel.

Li Hehua walked out of the firewood room with a burden on his back, closed the door of the firewood room, and when he turned around, he saw Mrs. Zhang Lin drying clothes in the yard.

Zhang Linshi glanced at Li Hehua, then turned around and continued to work. His eyes were bright and he didn’t want to pay attention to her. Li Hehua swallowed her words when he wanted to say hello, thought about it, but didn’t say anything too much. He lowered his head and walked out. out the door.

When he arrived at Lianhua Village, Li Hehua inquired about the address of Cao Simei’s house from others, and went all the way to find it. At the gate of the courtyard, he saw Cao Simei who was feeding chickens in the courtyard.

Li Hehua quickly said hello, “Eldest sister, I’m here.”

Cao Simei turned around and saw that it was Li Hehua. She immediately put down the chicken food in her hand with a smile and greeted her, “Oh, big sister, are you here? Come in, come in!”

Li Hehua was pulled into the main room, and after sitting down and taking a sip of water, Cao Simei packed up, and the two immediately headed for the village where her brother lived, Caozhuang Village.

Caozhuang Village is very far from Lianhua Village. The two of them didn’t arrive until it was dark in the afternoon. Li Hehua’s feet were blistered as they walked, and the pain was unbearable. I can’t take it anymore.

Cao Simei apologized to Li Hehua embarrassedly, “Eldest sister, you are tired. My mother’s home is too far away, and I rarely come back. This time I can’t do anything about it. I can’t help but come back when my eldest nephew is married.”

Li Hehua wiped the sweat from his forehead and shook his head with a smile, “It’s alright, are we almost there?”

Cao Simei took a few steps forward, “It’s here, it’s this house.” Then she led her into a door.

“Mother, brother, I’m back.” Cao Simei shouted at the top of her voice, and the people inside came out immediately.

“Yo, Fourth Sister, why did you arrive so late, it’s getting dark.” An old woman about sixty years old asked aloud.

Cao Simei wiped off the sweat on her forehead, “I’m leaving from home late today, aren’t I bringing the chef who makes the noodles here, come, let me introduce you, this is the chef I told you, called Li Hehua , her craftsmanship is really unparalleled.” Cao Simei said, pulling Li Hehua, who was behind her, to introduce her to her family.

Li Hehua smiled and nodded.

Everyone was shocked when they saw Li Hehua’s appearance. They didn’t expect her to be such a fat woman. Cao Simei’s mother took Li Hehua’s hand and said, “It’s really a blessing.”

Li Hehua was embarrassed for a while, and said with a smile on the surface: “Auntie, my body is what I eat as a chef. If I eat well, I will grow so fat.”

Cao Simei’s mother smiled even more happily, “That’s the reason, how can a cook be short of food.”

Cao Simei interrupted her mother’s greetings from the side, “Mother, we are tired and hungry now. Get us something to eat. After eating, let’s rest early. We will be busy tomorrow.”

Cao Simei’s mother nodded quickly, “Yes, yes, I forgot all about it, hurry in and I’ll get you something to eat.”

Cao Simei’s mother and sister-in-law made some noodles for Cao Simei and Li Hehua. After the two briefly ate some, they washed some hot water and went back to the room that Cao’s family had cleaned up to rest together. Li Hehua and Cao Simei lived together these days.

Today, I have been running around constantly and busy all day. Li Hehua was so tired that he fell asleep when he lay on the bed. He slept until the next day and was woken up by Cao Simei.

There are not many seats today, only six tables. The custom here is like this. Before the children get married, they have to invite their relatives to have a meal. On the day of the marriage, the man and the woman’s relatives have another meal together. Therefore, there are six tables today and fourteen tables tomorrow.

Li Hehua first went to the kitchen to look at the ingredients, then assembled all the dishes, and instructed the person who started to wash and cut them. She prepared the seasonings that would be used later and put them in a handy place.

When it was almost time for lunch, Li Hehua started to stir-fry.

Today, there are a total of eight large dishes and eight small dishes, which is enough for 16 dishes. This is a very good feast in the countryside. Li Hehua fired two pots at the same time, one pot for large dishes and one pot for small dishes. The people who were helping the cook on the side were amazed. If this is left to ordinary people, one person will be too busy to cook so many dishes, let alone cook two pots at the same time, the speed of serving food is the fastest they have ever seen, and it is fragrant, they will live their whole lives. I have never smelled such a delicious dish before, and each one of them has to endure the pain of drooling while helping the cook.

Fortunately, Li Hehua kept a little of every dish, and waited until the end of the banquet for the people who helped in the kitchen to eat, and he couldn’t expect anything left on the table in front of him.

It was still in full swing, when Cao Simei’s mother came in, and when she saw Li Hehua, she praised, “Oh, your dish is really cooked so well, not only is it beautiful, but the taste is so delicious that your tongue can swallow it. , don’t you know, the people in front are praising today’s banquet, and they all eat like robbing.”

Cao Simei’s mother’s face was full of pride and pride, so she took time out of her hurry to come over to thank Li Hehua.

Li Hehua is still very happy that the food he made by himself can be so appreciated by the host, but he is still a little modest, “Auntie, you are very polite, since you have received the money from your family, you must do your best, and promise to make you twice as much. Have a face.”

After hearing this, Cao Simei’s mother was even happier, and kept praising her, and finally went out to work in a hurry.

Li Hehua worked hard for nearly an hour to cook all the dishes. When the last dish was taken away, she breathed a long sigh of relief. When she saw the other people who helped the cook, they were all too tired.

Li Hehua hurriedly brought out the leftover dishes, “Come here, everyone is hungry, finally finished, everyone come to eat.”

This remark made everyone who has been tired for a long time come to the spirit. After staying in the kitchen for so long, they have long been greedy, and they are secretly looking forward to eating, and now they can finally get their wish.

Cao Simei and her two sisters-in-law quickly came over with chopsticks, and couldn’t wait to reach for the vegetables and put them in their mouths.

Before she could swallow the first sip, Cao Simei gave a thumbs up, “Big sister, I’m really looking for you, your craftsmanship is incredible!”

“This is the best dish I’ve ever eaten. It’s delicious!” Cao Simei’s sister-in-law praised her, and ate it hard, for fear that it would be gone.

Cao Simei’s second sister-in-law took the time to say, “If my boy gets married in the future, I’ll find you too, big sister, you can’t shirk it.”

Li Hehua smiled. Although his body was tired, he was still very happy.
