Chapter 329 Fried Lotus

The food made by Madam Xia is indeed delicious.

It was so delicious that he was envious and even a little jealous.

After all, as a cook, who wouldn't want the food he or she cooks to be eaten up by others? Who wouldn't want to be praised for his or her cooking skills?

At least, what he least wants to hear is words like, “It would be great if he could be like so-and-so.”

You have to think of a way.

Chef Wei drooped his eyelids.
-
The aroma of the rice dumplings has completely dissipated, the pond is full of lotus flowers, and the first batch of fruits in the orchard are beginning to ripen.

Guo Kanglai made a special trip to the city to deliver the first batch of ripe peaches to Xia Mingyue's home.

The peach is pink in color and smells fragrant. The skin can be easily peeled off. When you take a bite, the peach juice overflows and your mouth is full of sweetness. It is very delicious.

"Delicious!" Xia Mingyue ate two peaches in one breath, and then hurriedly asked others to have a taste as well.

After tasting the peaches, everyone praised them, and some even started asking if they could sell them some of the peaches.

"This crop of peaches has basically been reserved. If you want some, you'll have to wait a little longer."

Guo Kanglai smiled and said, "But there are still about 20 days left for the grapes to grow. The grapes have not been fully reserved yet, so there will be some left. We will send them here when the time comes."

"I went to the street today and saw that some families were worried because they couldn't sell their peaches. They said that the market is bad this year and peaches are hard to sell. But it turns out that Manager Guo has no peaches left." Mrs. Lu smacked her lips.

"Of course it's because of the ability of Manager Guo." Xia Mingyue followed up with a compliment, "The variety he chose when he planted the peaches was also good, so he has no trouble selling them. I am lucky to have picked up such a good orchard and manager."

Guo Kanglai felt a little embarrassed to be praised by Xia Mingyue, "Madam Xia, you are too kind."

Then he quickly changed the subject, "Yes, I don't know what to bring to Madam Xia this time. The chickens and ducks in the orchard are in good condition now. These chickens and duck eggs are all freshly laid. Bring them to Madam Xia to try."

"The carp and crucian carp that were just caught in the fish pond are perfect for cooking or making soup, Madam Xia. And this..."

Guo Kanglai brought out the things as if presenting a treasure. "These are the lotus leaves and lotus flowers that Chunhua and the others picked especially for Madam Xia. They said that if you put them in the vase, they can still bloom for a few days for Madam Xia to enjoy."

The orchard usually sends other things here, but the lotus flowers and lotus leaves, the former are either in full bloom or in bud, and the latter are lush and green. When put together, the pink and green complement each other, which is very beautiful.

In such an increasingly hot summer, just looking at it is pleasing to the eyes and can relieve the summer heat.

"Manager Guo is very thoughtful." Xia Mingyue smiled with her eyes curved.

Seeing that Xia Mingyue was very satisfied with everything, Guo Kang reported his income situation in recent days and planned his recent arrangements. Seeing that it was getting late, he said goodbye and left.

After seeing Guo Kang off, Xia Mingyue asked Jiang Zhuguo and Zhuang Cui to put all the things away, while she herself held the handful of lotus flowers and lotus leaves, staring blankly.

Seeing this, Jiang Zhuguo went to find a vase with a large mouth and started scooping water into it.

While he was busy, he saw Xia Mingyue washing all the lotus leaves and hanging them on a bamboo mat, as if he wanted to preserve them after drying.

She then plucked the lotus petals one by one.

The movements were swift and without any hesitation, showing a steady, accurate and ruthless attitude. The ruthless destruction of the flower suddenly became concrete, making Jiang Zhuguo's eyelids jump. He went to Xia Mingyue and asked, "Sister Xia, are you going to dry the lotus petals and make them into sachets?"

"No, fry it and eat it." Xia Mingyue didn't even raise her head.

Fried lotus?
What is that thing...

While Jiang Zhuguo was wondering, Xia Mingyue had already put all the plucked lotus petals in a basin, washed them, and put them aside to dry.

Coat each lotus petal with a paste made of flour, eggs, salt and water, fry them in a pan for a while, then quickly remove them from the pan and drain the oil.

The fried lotus made in this way has a crispy skin and is full of tender lotus petals inside. The first bite is full of the fragrance of lotus. It can be said that it can not only relieve heat, but also has a unique style and taste.

While controlling the oil, Xia Mingyue sprinkled a layer of fine white sugar on the fried lotus petals, which made them taste sweeter.

The sweet taste mixed with the fragrance of lotus makes the lotus petals even sweeter and more delicious, with a wonderful taste.

Xia Mingyue loved fried lotus petals when she was in modern times. Making this kind of food again now, the familiar taste that she had not tasted for a long time made her feel that the fried lotus was extremely delicious.

After eating many slices in a row, Xia Mingyue finally felt satisfied. She coated all the remaining lotus petals with batter and fried them in the pan, while inviting others to come and have a taste.

It was also the first time for everyone to taste fried lotus petals. They felt it was delicious and novel, and they kept praising Xia Mingyue for her excellent cooking skills, saying that even lotus petals could be made into delicious food.

It’s really amazing!

Instead, Zhuang Cui looked at the fresh and delicious fried lotus petals in her hand, tilted her head, and asked a question she had always been very curious about, "Tell me, is there anything in this world that cannot be eaten?"

"I'm afraid not." Xia Mingyue said, "As far as I know, everything flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the water, and growing in the soil, as long as it tastes good, has been eaten."

"What about the ones that taste bad?" Zhuang Cui asked again.

"Boil it into medicine and swallow it while pinching your nose." Xia Mingyue didn't even raise her head.

In short, the main point is never to waste anything and never let go of anything. No matter what, it has to go into the stomach!
Everyone, "..."

Although it is very shocking, but think about it carefully...

There is nothing wrong with what you said!

There were quite a lot of lotus flowers sent from the orchard. After frying many lotus petals, Xia Mingyue saw that there were still many left, so she picked out the tender lotus petals and made shredded lotus dolls with shredded cucumbers, shredded carrots, and kimchi radish that night.

Just use lotus petals as pancake skin, wrap various vegetables and eat them directly. They are refreshing and delicious, or dip them in some sauces. They are fragrant and mellow...

In short, the big bunch of lotus flowers sent by Guo Kanglai was eaten by Xia Mingyue and others within two days. The remaining lotus leaves had been almost dried, and Xia Mingyue planned to slowly stuff them into her stomach.

The main point is to eat all of them and never waste them!

When the fragrance of lotus flowers and leaves in the house gradually faded, Xia Mingyue and Zhuang Cui hired a carriage from the car dealership and went out together.

I originally thought that going out for a walk with my family would affect my writing and delay the update, but I didn’t expect that I could actually update on time. This is entirely due to my hard work in the hotel every night...Praise me~
