Chapter 211 Pantothenic Acid
After controlling the oil a little and blowing on the hot air from the lotus root, Xia Mingyue tasted one first to see how it tasted.
When you bite into the fried lotus root, the skin is extremely crispy, followed by the fragrant and crispy lotus root, the meat is overflowing with juice, the grainy meat is chewy, and the aftertaste is rich.
The freshness of the lotus root and the pepper added to the batter during frying add a lot of flavor, making the fried lotus root not greasy or greasy.
In short, Ouhe's work was quite successful, and Xia Mingyue herself was very satisfied.
Continuing to fry all the remaining lotus roots, Xia Mingyue fried some tofu slices and reserved this time to make cold shredded tofu to eat.
Having a hard dish like fried couple for dinner, Xia Mingyue made a refreshing and delicious vegetarian dish of vinegared cabbage and stir-fried shredded white radish.
The staple food is hot noodle cakes, and a pot of stick glutinous rice porridge is cooked. Xia Mingyue invites everyone to come for dinner.
The fried lotus root is rich in flavor and delicious, and Xia Mingyue prepared a large quantity, enough for a group of people to eat, so everyone ate it happily and enjoyed it very much.
After dinner, Jiang Zhuguo washed and tidied up, while Xia Mingyue went to feed Wu Jin for dinner.
This time, Xia Mingyue gave Wu Jin six fried lotus roots.
The happy Wujin spun around in circles several times and rubbed against Xia Mingyue's feet before he began to enjoy his own delicious food.
Seeing this, Lu Qiyan asked in a low voice, "Didn't it mean that Wu Jin couldn't..."
Would it be easy to get sick if you eat too many seasonings?
"Shh!" Xia Mingyue hurriedly pulled Lu Qiyan aside and explained in a low voice, "It is indeed impossible, but this time Wu Jin was fed special lotus root, and there was not so much seasoning. .”
"That's it." Lu Qiyan suddenly realized.
But the same fried lotus root must be made in two completely different ways...
"It's hard for you." Lu Qiyan sighed with emotion.
“There is nothing we can do about it.” Xia Mingyue shrugged helplessly, “Wu Jin is greedy and always wants to eat food that only some people can eat, but he is much smarter than expected. He will definitely not be able to deceive him by pretending. It can only give up if it does something practical."
Although this may spoil Wu Jin.
But Wu Jin plays the important role of looking after the home every day, so he should be given some appropriate rewards. Moreover, Wujin is a dog, and an adult dog. His lifespan is not many years, so he can only be happy once.
You have to pamper your own pets no matter what, right?
After listening to Xia Mingyue's explanation, Lu Qiyan couldn't help but reach out and touch his nose.
What Xia Mingyue said is right, but seeing her treat Wu Jin so carefully and thoughtfully, she suddenly felt a little sour in her heart. Why?
But, again, Wu Jin has indeed accompanied and helped Xia Mingyue a lot, and Xia Mingyue should be kind to her.
If he has free time in the future, he will need to come back from time to time to take a closer look.
After all, he has a family.
But...
Wait, why does he have to compete with Wu Jin?
Lu Qiyan touched his nose again with some embarrassment, and went into the house and took out the tightly wrapped kitchen knife, "I passed by the blacksmith shop today and saw that this kitchen knife was of good quality, and I thought you should I bought it after I found it useful.”
kitchen knife?
Xia Mingyue was overjoyed. After reaching out to take it, she untied the pieces of linen tied with hemp rope outside and picked up the kitchen knife to look at it carefully.
The blade is thick, but not too big. It is moderate in weight and is quite suitable for women. The handle is smooth without any burrs, and it is even brushed with a layer of tung oil, making it look shiny.
The most important thing is that the blade is very sharp. Xia Mingyue tried it a little. Although it was not as exaggerated as blowing hair and making a decisive decision, it was still very sharp. "The knife is good. It can cut meat and bones." Xia Mingyue looked at this kitchen knife and became more and more happy. "Two days ago, I was saying that the kitchen knife at home was not very easy to use, and I was thinking about getting a new one. , By coincidence, Brother Lu bought it back today, thank you, Brother Lu.”
"You don't have to be so polite to me." Lu Qiyan saw Xia Mingyue's face was full of smiles, her eyes were like crescent moons, and she felt warm in her heart.
"But..." Xia Mingyue frowned while fiddling with the kitchen knife in her hand, "I often went to the blacksmith shop before, but I have never seen a kitchen knife with such good quality. This blacksmith shop Are kitchen knives so good now?”
Has the industry begun to roll up?
"Ahem..." Lu Qiyan coughed lightly, "Today is a coincidence. Someone customized the knife but later said he didn't want it anymore, so shopkeeper Guo took it out and sold it."
" Like this." Xia Mingyue nodded.
But no matter what the reason is, having a good kitchen knife handy will make it much more convenient in the future.
Seeing that Xia Mingyue was happy, and Lu Qiyan seemed to be very satisfied with the gift of a kitchen knife, Mrs. Lu, who was checking the condition of the braised pork in the courtyard, couldn't help but help her forehead.
What should I say?
If Lu Qiyan is a wise man, then Lu Qiyan actually gave his wife a sharp weapon like a kitchen knife.
If you say that Lu Qiyan is a stupid person, he knows how to give Mrs. Xia things that she often uses and likes.
All I can say is that as long as the friendship is there, the rest is not important!
Not important!
Lu Qiyan got up early the next morning and had to rush back. After finishing the chores in the central kitchen that night, Xia Mingyue and Jiang Zhuguo washed up early and went back to the house to rest.
As soon as I blew out the candle on the table, there was a "bang bang" knock on the door.
The voice was urgent, and the person who came was obviously very panicked.
Wu Jin was aware of this and barked twice.
“It’s been a while, who is he?” Xia Mingyue stood up and put on her coat.
"I'll go take a look." Lu Qiyan got out of bed and put on his shoes.
Xia Mingyue thought for a moment and lit a lantern, "I'll go with you."
Lu Qiyan was often not at home, so it would be best for her to go and take a look.
"Yes." Lu Qiyan nodded, took the lantern, and left the main room with Xia Mingyue.
In the yard, Jiang Zhuguo was also carrying a lantern. When he saw Xia Mingyue and Lu Qiyan coming out, they went to the door together.
The knocking at the door continued, getting louder and louder.
“Who is it?” Xia Mingyue shouted.
"Ms. Xia, it's me." A voice came from outside the courtyard door, "Lou Shanzi."
Lou Shanzi?
Xia Mingyue thought for a moment, remembered the young man who helped prepare meals in the Chenghuang Temple, and hurriedly opened the door.
When he saw that the person who came was indeed Lou Shanzi, and he looked panicked at this time, with a layer of fine beads of sweat hanging on his forehead, he was suddenly surprised, "Brother Lou? Is there anything wrong with coming here so late?"
"It's true." Lou Shanzi replied, looking behind him to make sure there was no one else in the alley, then he hurriedly entered the yard and hurriedly closed the yard door tightly.
Such vigilant behavior cheered up both Xia Mingyue and Lu Qiyan.
