Chapter 233 The Smell of Sophora Flowers
Nanzhi walked out of the door and walked around to the back of the old house.
This kind of old house is old-fashioned, but the advantage is that it is sufficiently original.
As Guang Nanzhi walked around, he saw several kinds of edible wild vegetables.
She was quite regretful and felt that the pile of things she bought at the market was a bit of a loss.
Fortunately, it was Lu Shixu who was at fault, not her.
Save the wild vegetables in the field for later, so Nanzhi pulled two handfuls of wild onions.
The rain has been abundant recently, and even the wild onions have been washed clean by the rain, making them green, tender, and juicy. It seems that you can squeeze out the juice with a little effort.
It can be imagined that such wild onions do not need to be added with too much seasoning. Mixed with egg liquid and spread into a thin egg cake, it is enough to be extremely delicious.
She put the wild onions into the small bamboo basket given by her students and returned home briskly.
As soon as he entered the door, Nanzhi was keenly aware that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
Outside the house is bright spring and full of vitality.
Inside the house is a world of ice and snow, and everything is frozen.
She had only been away for a few minutes. What was going on with the sudden change in the atmosphere?
Nanzhi looked at Lu Shixuan and Fu Chao silently, looking back and forth on their faces.
As if nothing had happened, Lu Shixu calmly pointed to the vegetable basket and asked Nanzhi:
"Does this dish need to be washed?"
"...This is a wild onion."< br>
Nanzhi expressed great disappointment with Lu Shixu's lack of daily knowledge.
Lu Shixu didn't explain, he took the vegetable basket naturally, took out the wild onions, and carefully washed each leaf clean.
When Nanzhi saw it, he boasted casually:
"You did a good job."
Lu Shixu twitched the corner of his mouth, showing pleasure visible to the naked eye.
Fu Chao’s eyes daggers whizzed towards him.
Nanzhi frowned at him:
"You've crushed the sophora flower."
The kind Nanzhi bought at the market blooms in season and is also called acacia flower. It has a sweet and elegant smell.
All the Sophora japonica flowers were just picked from the trees this morning. They were clusters of milky white and looked as fresh and tender as jade. However, they were washed by Fu Chao with rough hands and feet, and the petals were all wilted. .
Fu Chao hurriedly lowered his head, so nervous that he was sweating:
"Hug...sorry!"
Nanzhi didn't pursue it:
"Forget it, there aren't many broken ones, just pick these out and throw them away."
When she can be picky, she has always had high requirements for ingredients.
However, after this incident, Nanzhi did not pursue the issue between Lu Shixu and Fu Chao.
This made Fu Chao feel relieved.
How could he not notice that Nanzhi had been quietly looking at him and Lu Shixu since they entered the door, probably sensing that something was wrong with their atmosphere.
If Nanzhi really asked, Fu Chao really didn't know whether to conceal it or tell the truth.
The former is somewhat difficult for him.
Due to some strange intuition, Fu Chao always did not want to deceive Nanzhi.
However, Fu Chao didn’t know that Nanzhi also noticed his subtle performance.
She shook her head secretly, feeling funny.
Since she doesn’t want to be discovered by her so much, then she should just pretend not to know.
Anyway, it didn’t get in front of her.
She regrouped and focused on the toon she had just washed.
Toon is an indispensable vegetable to eat in spring.
The toonas bought in the city are basically artificially cultivated. Only the toonas bought at the market are real wild toonas, and the aroma is much stronger. The cooking process is also very simple. You only need to blanch the toon in water until it changes color. After it cools down, mix it with the water tofu and add a little salt and sesame oil. It is already delicious.
The only difficulty is probably blanching. If the heat is too high, the toon will lose the fresh spirit of spring. If the heat is not enough, the toon will have a bit of astringency.
Needless to say, Nanzhi’s craftsmanship is naturally completed quickly and well.
When the cold dish was ready, Nanzhi took out the freshly washed elm leaves and sophora japonica flowers.
Similarly, there is no need for complicated cooking procedures. You only need to wash them clean, sprinkle them with dry flour and mix well, then steam them in a pot. When they are cooked, mix them with garlic sauce mixed with salt and sesame oil. This is a dish. The most refreshing food on the spring table.
Nanzhi saw that the sophora flowers were of good quality, so he bought enough. Now he has steamed a small part of them, and most of them are left.
She wanted to enrich the variety of dining tables, so she simply made two more dishes using Sophora japonica flowers.
One dish is to fry the sophora flowers in oil, make them into toppings, and mix them with hand-rolled noodles to make sophora flower noodles.
The other way is to mix the Sophora japonica flowers with minced meat and eggs to make the filling, which is used to make Sophora japonica buns.
After the sophora japonica was completely consumed, and while waiting for the steamed buns to be steamed, Nanzhi quickly used freshly washed wild onions, cracked several eggs into them, and spread them into egg cakes.
There are still leftover wild vegetables, which Nanzhi simply stir-fries, seasoning only with salt to highlight the unique aroma and taste of the wild vegetables themselves.
Finally, the hand-rolled noodles came out of the pot, and Nanzhi poured the sophora flower topping on them:
“The meal is ready, tell them to eat one by one.”
She held it Noodle Bowl turned around and then paused.
Where do I need to call?
It turned out that Nan Yi had been attracted by the aroma of the food for a long time, and he woke up at some point.
At this time, including him, Lu Shixu, Fu Chao and Qingxi were standing in a row.
Because it is an open kitchen, they just defaulted to standing outside the kitchen area.
Move cautiously and cautiously, not daring to step into the sacred exclusive territory of Nanzhi, and just silently watching Nanzhi's flowing and artistic movements.
It's not that they don't want to help, but they find that Nanzhi doesn't need them at all.
Joining rashly will cause trouble to Nanzhi.
When Nanzhi said "the meal is ready" and gave the order, everyone started to move as if they had just woken up from a dream.
Nanyi and Qingxi are the youngest, and they act coquettishly and behave towards Nanzhi without any psychological pressure.
Besides, they were used to doing this during the time at Nanjia Restaurant, so——
Nan Yi: "Mom, I'm here, be careful to burn your hands!"
Qingxi: "Aunt Zhizhi and I! I can help you!"
Two puppy legs are flattering The ground surrounded him, preventing Nanzhi from having any chance to take action.
Compared with them, Lu Shixu and Fu Chao were much more reserved.
Lu Shixu silently picked up two noodle bowls.
Seeing this, Fu Chao didn't want to admit defeat and reached out to pick up the steamer.
"Be careful..."
Before Nanzhi could say anything, he saw Fu Chao grinning from being burned to the point of almost jumping up on the spot.
Lu Shixu, who had already arranged the noodle bowls, walked past Fu Chao naturally, took out two clean soft cloths, and lifted the steamer up in one breath through the hot rattan handles.
That action was too understated, making Fu Chao, who was accidentally burned, look like a fool.
Fu Chao even felt that Lu Shixu gave him a deliberately sarcastic look when he passed by him...
Provocation!
This is indeed a provocation!
Nanzhi pressed her forehead with a slight headache, and quickly gave Fu Chaoxin instructions to carry the dishes.
Fu Chao then calmed down and took action based on Nazhi’s request.
It's time to eat.
