The food made by Lady Xia is indeed delicious.
It was so delicious that he was envious and even a little jealous.
After all, as a cook, who doesn’t want to be eaten up by others, and who doesn’t want to be praised for his superb craftsmanship?
At least, the last thing I want to hear is that it would be great if he could be like so and so.
We have to think of a way.
Chef Wei drooped his eyelids.
——
The fragrance of the rice dumplings has completely dissipated, the pond is full of lotus flowers, and the first fruits in the orchard have begun to ripen.
Guo Kanglai made a special trip to the city and delivered the first ripe peaches to Xia Mingyue's home.
The peach is pink in color and smells full of aroma. The outer skin can be peeled off easily, and when you bite it, the peach juice overflows and your mouth is full of sweetness. It is very delicious.
"It's delicious!" Xia Mingyue ate two peaches in one go, and hurriedly asked others to have a taste.
Everyone tasted the peaches and praised them one after another. Some even started to ask if they could sell some of the peaches.
"These peaches have basically been reserved. If you want them, you still have to wait a little longer."
Guo Kanglai said with a smile, "But there are still twenty more Days later, the grapes will grow well. The grapes have not been completely ordered to be sent out. There are still some left. The rest will be sent here when the time comes.”
“I went out to the street today and saw that some people’s peaches could not be sold. I was worried. They also said that the market was bad this year and the peaches were not good. It was for sale, but it turned out that there were no peaches left by Manager Guo." Ms. Lu smacked her lips.
"Of course it's because of Guo Guo's ability." Xia Mingyue followed up by praising, "The variety I selected when planting peaches is good, so I don't have to worry about selling it. I'm lucky enough to pick up such a good peach." of orchards and stewards”
Then he hurriedly changed the subject, "Yes, I don't know what to bring to Miz. Xia this time. Come, the chickens and ducks in the orchard are now They are raised just right. These eggs and duck eggs are all freshly laid. Give them to Madam Xia to try.” Regardless of soup, both are suitable, and this... "
Guo Kanglai moved the things out as if they were presenting treasures, "These are the lotus leaves and lotus flowers that Spring Flowers and the others specially picked for Madam Xia. They said they were put in bottles and they would bloom for several days for Xia. Lady watching.”
The other things from the orchard are usually sent here, but these lotus flowers and lotus leaves, the former are either in full bloom or in bud, and the latter are verdant. When put together, the pink and green complement each other, which is very beautiful.
In such an increasingly hot summer day, just looking at it is pleasing to the eye and the heat is gone.
"Guanshi Guo is interested." Xia Mingyue smiled with crooked eyebrows.
Seeing that Xia Mingyue was very satisfied with everything, Guo Kanglai reported on his income in the recent period and planned his recent arrangements. Seeing that it was getting late, he said goodbye and left.
Sending Guo Kanglai off, Xia Mingyue asked Jiang Zhuguo and Zhuang Cui to put all their things away, while she held the handful of lotus flowers and lotus leaves, lost in thought.
Seeing this, Jiang Zhuguo went to find a vase with a large mouth and began to scoop water into it.
While I was busy, I saw Xia Mingyue cleaning all the lotus leaves and drying them on the bamboo mat, as if she wanted to dry them and store them.
She picked off the lotus flower one by one.
The movements are quick and without any hesitation, showing a steady and ruthless attitude. The danger of destroying flowers suddenly materialized, making Jiang Zhuguo's eyelids twitch. He only came to Xia Mingyue and asked, "Sister Xia, are you going to dry the petals of the lotus and make it into a sachet?"
"No, fry it and eat it." Xia Mingyue didn't even raise her head.
Fried lotus?
What is that...
While Jiang Zhuguo was wondering, Xia Mingyue had already washed all the lotus petals that had been removed in a basin and put them aside to dry.
Wrap each lotus petal in a paste made of flour, eggs, salt and water, put it into a frying pan and fry for a while, then quickly remove it to control the oil.
The fried lotus made in this way has a crispy skin and is full of soft and tender lotus petals. It is filled with the fragrance of lotus in one bite. It can be said that it can relieve heat and relieve heat, and is also unique in style and taste.
While controlling the oil, Xia Mingyue sprinkled a thin layer of white sugar on the fried lotus petals, which gave it a sweet taste.
The sweet taste and the fragrance of lotus are mixed together, and the lotus petals are even more sweet and delicious, and the taste is wonderful.
Xia Mingyue liked fried lotus petals very much in modern times. Now when she made such a meal again, she felt a familiar taste that she had not seen for a long time, which made her feel that the fried lotus was even more delicious.
After eating many slices in a row, Xia Mingyue felt satisfied. She wrapped all the remaining lotus petals in batter and fried them in a pot, while inviting others to come and taste some. taste.
It was also the first time for everyone to taste fried lotus petals. They found it delicious and novel at the same time. They praised Xia Mingyue for her excellent craftsmanship, and even the petals of the lotus could be made into delicious food.
It’s really amazing!
On the contrary, Zhuang Cui looked at the fresh and delicious fried lotus petals in her hand, tilted her head, and asked a question that she had always been curious about, "Do you think there is anything in this world that cannot be eaten? ?”
“I’m afraid not.” Xia Mingyue said, “As far as I know, everything that flies in the sky, runs on the ground, swims in the water, and grows in the soil has a good taste. It was eaten into the stomach."
"What about the bad taste?" Zhuang Cui asked again.
"Boil it into medicine, hold your nose and eat it into your stomach." Xia Mingyue didn't even raise her head.
In short, if you focus on one thing, you will never waste it, and you will never let anything go. Whatever you say has to go into your stomach!
Everyone, "..."
Although it is very shocking, but think about it carefully...
There is nothing wrong with this!
There were a lot of lotus flowers sent from the orchard. After Xia Mingyue fried many lotus petals, she saw that there were many left, so she selected the tender lotus petals and made them into lotus flowers that night with cucumber shreds, carrot shreds, kimchi radish shreds, etc. Silk doll comes to eat.
Use lotus petals directly as a pancake wrapper to wrap various vegetables and eat them directly. It is refreshing and refreshing, leaving a fragrance on your teeth and cheeks, or dipped in some sauce. It is fragrant and full of mellowness...
In short, the large bunch of lotus flowers sent by Guo Kanglai reached the mouths of Xia Mingyue and others within two days. The remaining lotus leaves were almost dried, and Xia Mingyue was planning to stuff them into her stomach slowly.
The main idea is to eat all of them without wasting them!
When the fragrance of lotus flowers and lotus leaves at home gradually faded away, Xia Mingyue and Zhuang Cui hired a carriage from the car dealership and went out together. (End of chapter)
