When the water is boiling, stir the thin batter into the pot and bring to a boil. Add enough rice vinegar and bring to the boil again and let cool thoroughly. Add the celery that has been cut into sections and boiled until raw and drained. Seal the jar and wait for fermentation. But...
On the second day, as agreed, Xia Mingyue and Song Changhe accompanied Hu Yuanzhi to search for suitable goods.
Lotus root starch is produced from the lotus pond in the orchard. It is of high quality, not adulterated at all, and has a mellow taste and full fragrance.
Hu Yuanzhi thought it was good and asked for some.
The high-quality vermicelli from Zhaoji Vermicelli Shop is of high quality and well packaged, and comes with extra recipes for making rind and hot and sour vermicelli. Buying it is a total profit, and Hu Yuanzhi did not hesitate.
Buyunlou's copper pots for shabu-shabu meat are novel, beautiful and of good quality. After thinking for a moment, Hu Yuanzhi bought dozens of pots and planned to sell them or give them away.
The storybooks written by Shen Shujun in the bookstore are selling very well, and they are printed with engravings. The overall cost is low, much cheaper than the storybooks in his place, and he can just buy a cart...
Hu Yuanzhi has gained a lot from spending so many days in Jinqiu County.
The only regret is that he really likes the various kinds of food at Xiaji Food Shop and the dishes at Buyunlou, but food cannot be sold in other places, and it cannot withstand long-term storage. Hu Yuanzhi had no choice but to buy a lot so that he could stay on the road to satisfy his craving.
When the seven-day period came, Hu Yuanzhi, in addition to the live animals he purchased, also obtained a sufficient amount of millet balsamic vinegar and was ready to set off.
"Shopkeeper Hu, have a nice trip."
Xia Mingyue and Song Changhe left the city to see each other off.
Song Changhe even said, "Shopkeeper Hu has made a fortune, and I look forward to meeting him again next time."
"Looking forward to it." Hu Yuanzhi felt that he had spent a lot of time in Jinqiu County. It was very pleasant, and I had a good chat with Xia Mingyue and Song Changhe, and even I feel that the two of them are honest and generous in doing business, and I feel very comfortable. "I think it won't take too long to come here. When I come back, I will definitely stay for a while."
If nothing else, just Xia He hasn’t had enough of all kinds of food in Jihe Buyunlou!
"Shopkeeper Hu, feel free to come, I will treat you well when the time comes." Song Changhe said hurriedly.
After getting along with each other for a few days, Song Changhe slowly figured out some ways to get along with merchants, and now he only had good things to say.
"Guanshi Song is so grand!" Hu Yuanzhi chuckled and cupped his hands, "See you later."
"See you later."
Send Hu Yuanzhi off, Song Changhe went back to the vinegar making workshop to be busy as usual, while Xia Mingyue returned home.
He took out the jar in which the pickled vegetables were marinated earlier, opened the jar and took a look.
The original green color of the celery in the altar has gradually darkened, and the unique sour taste of the celery has also completely come out, constantly teasing Xia Mingyue's nose.
It is now mid-April, and the weather is getting hotter and drier, so that I often have a bad appetite on weekdays. Now I smell such a strong sour taste, and I suddenly feel like I have a big appetite, and I can’t wait. I want to eat some.
Just take out some of the pickled water vegetables. You don’t need to do too much processing. You just need to cook a bowl of clear soup noodles and add the pickled water vegetables. It will be sour, refreshing and full of deliciousness.
Or take out the water vegetables and fry them together with the cooked pork belly slices. Only the surface of the fried pork belly slices will be slightly browned. It tastes like twice-cooked pork and the meat slices are fully absorbed. The sourness of the pickled vegetables makes it neither greasy nor greasy, making it very enjoyable.
But if we want to talk about the most delicious way to eat this vegetable, it has to be fish. Mix white flour and stick noodles together and stir them into a paste. Cook them in a pot until they are thick and cooked. Then use a slotted spoon to drain the batter into a basin of cold water. The warm batter falls into the water and quickly takes shape, with a big head and a small tail, like a small fish. .
Cut the squid into small cubes, stir-fry with onions, ginger, garlic, dried chilies, etc. until fragrant. Pour in the slurry water, add five-spice powder, salt and other seasonings and boil to form a topping. , scoop it directly into the bowl containing the fish.
The fish made of flour and stick noodles is cooked and then cooled with cold water. It has a chewy texture and a fragrant taste. The pickled vegetables are already sour and delicious, and the stir-frying adds a spicy flavor. Full of sourness and appetizer, extremely delicious.
One bowl is definitely not enough!
Xia Mingyue ate so happily that she completely opened up her appetite. After eating three bowls, she reluctantly put down the bowl.
But others were still reluctant to put down their bowls and chopsticks, and returned to their bowls again. It was not until there was really no more fish in the pot that they ended the meal with some regret.
Because the pickled fish is so delicious, after eating it for two or three days, the originally pickled pickled fish was completely gone, so Xia Mingyue had to pickle a few more jars.
The pickling method is still the same as before, but with the liquid left over from the first pickling of the pickled vegetables as a primer, the pickling time of the pickled vegetables this time has been shortened by half, and you can eat it directly. .
The pickled vegetables were too pickled, so Xia Mingyue decided to share some of them.
Dexinyuan was indispensable. Remembering that the Dragon Boat Festival was approaching, Xia Mingyue simply wrapped some rice dumplings and prepared to send them over.
But before I went out, there were guests at home.
The person who came was a young man, less than twenty years old. He had good facial features and impressive equipment. He was dressed in gorgeous clothes, which showed that he had a good status.
Xia Mingyue was very surprised by this, "I wonder how you call me?"
"My surname is He and my first name is Lingyun. Mrs. He is my grandmother." He Lingyun bowed. He saluted and looked very humble.
"It turns out to be Mr. He." Xia Mingyue hurriedly invited people into the house to drink tea.
“I wonder why Young Master He is here?”
“I came here under the order of my parents for making such a sudden disturbance.” He Lingyun said with a smile, “To be honest with you, Madam Xia, at home, For the sake of peace and quiet, my grandmother has been living alone in Dexinyuan here. The family has been very worried, but my grandmother doesn’t like our intrusion, so she doesn’t dare to come casually.”
“My parents are here. I know that my grandmother has always liked the food made by Lady Xia very much, and she also admires Lady Xia's personality. Lady Xia also remembered my grandmother a lot when she was in Dexinyuan, served her a lot, and was grateful, so she specially ordered me to come and pay homage to her. Madam Xia expressed her gratitude. "
"These are specially selected by my mother to give to Madam Xia. I hope Madam Xia will not refuse and will definitely accept them."
As soon as He Lingyun finished speaking, the boy had already carried the box over and opened the lid.
The box is filled with fabrics of various colors and styles, but judging from the color and pattern, everything is good.
On the cloth, there are several books.
The book is thread-bound and the cover is a bit old. It looks quite old.
“These books are recipes that my grandfather got by chance in the early years. They have been kept in the library at home. My father thought that Mrs. Xia might need them, so he specially asked me to bring them and give them to Mrs. Xia. ."(End of this chapter)
