Li Hehua's craftsmanship allowed the Cao family to earn enough face, and they kept thanking her and became more polite to her.
Early the next morning, Li Hehua and the Cao family got up earlier, because today there are 14 tables of banquets to be made, which is more than twice as many as yesterday, and they need to start preparations earlier.
Many guests came one after another early in the morning, and it was more lively than yesterday. There has been a lot of noise in the front. Li Hehua really doesn't know how the ancients got married. The main battlefield is the kitchen, and she can't go out, so she can only regret it and wait for the next opportunity to see it for herself.
Seeing that it was almost noon, Cao Simei's mother came in in a hurry and said, "Hurry up, we can start cooking, the bride has already picked it up, and all the relatives from the in-laws are here. It's almost time for the dinner."
When Li Hehua heard this, he nodded and said, "Don't worry, Auntie, I'll start cooking right now, so I won't delay the banquet, and I'll be able to serve it soon."
Aunt Cao smiled and nodded, "I believe you, I will trouble you."
Li Hehua not only has a good attitude, but also never complains. He is also polite to the people who help the cook. What he says makes people feel comfortable. This makes the Cao family have a very good impression of her, and they can't help but think of the past ten miles and eight villages. Zhou Laogen, who was sitting at the table, came. Zhou Laogen's attitude and Li Hehua's attitude can be said to be different by 108,000 miles, because there is no one else in Shili Ba Village who can do the mat, everyone has to ask him to do it, his attitude is the same as that of the uncle. Urge Si, please don't say anything, but also to say good things. In addition to the money that should be given, he has to give him a lot of good wine and good food. In the end, this person has a bad temper. His subordinate. But what can I do? His craftsmanship is so good that no one will be able to do a good job if I don't invite him, so I can only endure it with a smile.
This time, their family is also going to invite Zhou Laogen to do the banquet. They originally went to invite them half a month ago, and they agreed, but when they went again a few days ago, his attitude changed, and he picked up Qiao , Saying that too many people invited him to the banquet, too busy to turn around, really not free.
Who can't see that it's just that he is asking for favors in disguise, wanting to charge more money and things, and the Cao family is so angry that they scold him for a long time at home, but who makes him good at craftsmanship? There is no one to do the table, how can this banquet not have a good table
So there is no way, no matter how angry, this person has to be invited. The Cao family discussed it at home for a long time, and finally prepared to get a few bottles of good wine to invite again.
At this time, Cao Simei came home, and when she heard about it, she was also very angry, and then suggested to them that they should be replaced, and recommended Li Hehua.
The Cao family didn't believe it at first. After all, she was just a young woman, and her experience was not as good as Zhou Laogen, who had been cooking for decades, and Li Hehua had never heard of the name, so she was definitely not famous. Not so good. If someone like this comes rashly, the risk is too great, so the Cao family are against it.
Cao Simei saw that the Cao family didn't believe the person she recommended, so she immediately told the story of Li Hehua's day at Old Man Wang's house in Lianhua Village, and then described the scene of Li Hehua making pickled fish that day vividly, especially the fragrance, and the Wang family. The greedy person who ate the food said it incisively and vividly, which made the Cao family believe it. Finally, when he gritted his teeth, he felt that he could gamble, so he invited Li Hehua.
This is what is happening now.
Yesterday, the Cao family was still worried, for fear that the young woman would not be able to do so, but who knew that what she brought to them in the end was a surprise. This woman's craftsmanship was not ordinary, and she left Zhou Laogen far behind. The woman only knew about the cooking, that Zhou Laohe's cooking skills were nothing at all, I really don't know how he could be so arrogant.
With this woman in the future, seeing how proud that Zhou Laogen is, now he can finally shatter that Zhou Laogen's spirit.
Li Hehua didn't know the inner activities of the Cao family, but was cooking with all his heart.
Today's dishes are also eight major dishes and eight small dishes. The ingredients are the same as yesterday. The Cao family's idea is to make the same dishes as yesterday. Anyway, everyone does this, but Li Hehua thinks this is not very good. In her opinion, this is only done by a failed cook, so she proposed to the Cao family to change the menu. Of course, the ingredients are still the same.
When the Cao family heard that Li Hehua could use the same ingredients to make a table completely different from yesterday's dishes, they didn't agree, and nodded vigorously. Now they fully believe in Li Hehua's craftsmanship.
After Li Hehua got the owner's consent, he remixed all the ingredients to form different dishes, and then started cooking.
Today's fourteen tables of dishes, Li Hehua's cooking speed is still not slow, and it was finished in about the same time as yesterday, but people are a little more tired, but when she thinks that the task is over, she doesn't feel tired anymore.
Because she was in a hurry to go home, she said goodbye immediately after it was over.
Aunt Cao took time to come to the back kitchen. After thanking her for thousands of dollars, she gave Li Hehua 100 pennies as a token of gratitude. She also filled Li Hehua with a lot of melon seeds and candies, and then packed a basket of vegetables for her to take home. . Li Hehua refused, but Aunt Cao must give it, "You keep it, don't refuse, if you ask someone else, I don't have enough to give these things, I have to spend a lot of money, you have helped my family so much, I will give you some You should eat what you should, so don't say no."
Seeing that Li Hehua couldn't escape, he took it down, left the door of Cao's house, hurried home, and didn't return to Zhang's house until it was dark.
The Zhang family had already eaten and seemed to have washed up and went back to the room. Only Zhang Lin came out of the room to pour water, and was a little surprised to see Li Hehua, who had not seen him for a few days.
Li Hehua smiled and greeted her, "Mother, I'm back from the banquet."
Zhang Lin ignored her and poured water on her own.
Li Hehua walked to the table, put the basket in his hand on the table, lifted the white cloth covering it to reveal the contents, and said to Zhang Lin, "Mother, this is given to me by the master, and I can't eat it either. , it's a pity that it's broken, mother, take it and eat it, just heat it up, so you don't have to cook it yourself."
The dishes inside were all hard vegetables, chicken, duck, fish, and meat, and a basket full of them. Zhang Lin didn't expect her to give them all these good dishes so generously, and she was surprised for a while.
If Li Hehua wants to lose weight, it is impossible to eat these big fish and meat. Even if he eats it, he can't eat so much. Hate her, why not do it.
Li Hehua took out a large bag of melon seeds and candy, "This is also given by the host, leave it to Shulin to eat, I won't eat it."
Zhang Linshi resisted a little, "I don't..." She didn't want this woman's things.
Li Hehua knew what Zhang Lin was struggling with, so he interrupted immediately and said, "Mother, I can't finish it all. If you don't eat it, it will be wasted. I have to trouble you to help me eat it. If you don't eat it, no one will be there. ate."
Hearing what Li Hehua said, Zhang Lin was a little loose.
Li Hehua smiled and said: "That's it, mother, I'm tired, I'll go back to the room first." Then he went back to the firewood room.
Zhang Lin closed his open mouth again, looked at the basket on the table, put the cloth back on after a while, and put it back in the kitchen cupboard.
Li Hehua was almost exhausted. After walking such a long distance, her feet hurt so much that she didn't want to get up when she collapsed onto the bed.
This job is really tiring, but cooking is fine, but some villages are too far away, and she doesn't have a donkey, a carriage, or a carriage. .
A village as close as Lianhua Village is fine, but in a village as far away as Caozhuang Village, it takes a whole day to travel on the road, which is a bit unreasonable.
This price needs to be changed.
In the near future, there will still be five cents per table, but in the far places, it is necessary to add eight cents to the table, so as to not lose money. She believes that her reputation can be sold out, and she will not worry about it. People come to her to make mats, and if people from far away despise the high price of eight cents, they can find other people. She can make mats in a village closer to her.
After thinking about it, Li Hehua looked at the sky. It was very late now, and it was too late to make cakes to sell, so I could take a day off tomorrow and sell cakes the day after.
Because he didn't have to go out to sell cakes early the next day, Li Hehua slept well, and when he woke up, the sun was very high.
Open the door and go out, there is no one in the house, not even Zhang Lin, so he should be doing laundry.
Li Hehua rolled her eyes and ran to the kitchen immediately, she wanted to see that little guy.
The little guy is indeed in the kitchen, sitting in the same posture as before.
Li Hehua said hello first, "Little guy, you got up really early."
Li Hehua moved to the back of the stove while talking, slowly approaching him.
"Little guy, have you ever eaten? Is your stomach full?" He moved to about half a meter away from him and stopped.
Li Hehua didn't care if he didn't respond, and continued to speak: "Little guy, haven't you seen me for a few days? Did you miss me? I miss you. Let me tell you, I have I'm going to make a banquet for others. Do you know what a banquet is? It's a dish that people want to invite relatives to eat when they get married. Let me tell you..."
Li Hehua rambled a lot, and shared all the things she had done in the past few days with the little guy like pouring beans into a bamboo tube, and stopped until she had nothing to say.
Seeing the little guy still didn't respond, Li Hehua sighed lightly, "Little guy, why are you ignoring me? Is it because I was too bad for you before? So you are afraid? But don't be afraid of me. , I'll tell you secretly, I'm different from the person before, I'm not hers, and I won't hit you, I like you very much, and I will treat you very well, do you trust me?"
Li Hehua won't tell anyone else this secret, but she wants to tell the little guy that she wants to share this with the little guy, that the little guy can distinguish her from the original owner, and stop rejecting her.
But what's disappointing is that the little guy is still in the same posture as before, I don't know if he heard what she said.
Li Hehua told himself not to worry and stood up, "Little guy, why do I think you've lost weight again? You can't do this, you have to eat a lot to grow meat. How about I make you something delicious now? You have to eat it obediently. Let me think about it, how about I make you a bibimbap? You haven't eaten it, have you? Come and try it today."
Although there is no barbecue, but I brought back a lot of meat last night, as long as it is a little processed, it can be used, and the rice can be cooked a little, and it will be ready soon.
Li Hehua first cooked the rice, then took out a bit of the meat he brought back from the cabinet, poured oil into the pot, heated it, and then put the meat in and started to draw.
Bibimbap is very simple, and it will be ready in less than half an hour. Li Hehua finally took out an egg, fried a poached egg and put it in the bowl of rice for the little guy. This is done.
The bowl for the little guy was beautifully placed, Li Hehua brought it to a small stool, and moved the stool in front of the little guy, "Baby, bibimbap is good, try it, it's delicious."
Not expecting the little guy's reaction, Li Hehua thought that when Zhang Lin came back, he should coax the little guy to eat, so he turned around to serve the rest of the bibimbap as his lunch today.
After she washed the pots and dishes, she picked up her own bowl and was about to go back to the room to eat. Just as she was about to say hello to the little guy, she saw the little guy who was motionless just now eating the meal she just made with a spoon. .
