In the azure oversized soup pot, it is like a fine landscape painting, not to mention eating, just looking at a few glances, it is already a great enjoyment.

"Master Xiao Zhou has put a lot of thought into it......"

Shang Lao looked at the lotus leaf and lotus pot soup in this big soup pot, and suddenly said loudly: "The lotus pond is green in spring, the jackdaw has crossed the river, who speaks on the shore, only praises the fragrance of red plums!"

Good dish, good dish, Master Xiao Zhou, what's the name of this dish?"

The last step of this bowl of lotus leaf lotus soup is to cook it with hanging chicken broth and chicken skin, with knife masters like Zhou Dong and Huang Sixia, the ugly goosebumps are directly peeled off, and the remaining thin chicken skin has to be cut into four or even five layers, and finally it is as transparent as cellophane.

These chicken skins are in the broth, and they only need to be rolled a few times, and the collagen rich in them will be released...... All in all a good thing of the first class.

In "Dream of Red Mansions", it is recorded that Jiafu also often uses chicken skin into the soup, such as 'sour bamboo shoots chicken skin soup', 'shrimp ball chicken skin soup', etc., Grandma Liu often eats it and screams, marveling at the luxury of Jiafu.

Moreover, the chicken skin is added to the chicken soup after hanging, and the level becomes richer, and the soup looks deep, like an undercurrent, like a pool of clear water, with a natural charm.

In this pool of clear water mountain, there are a few green spirit lotus leaves emerged, between the lotus leaves, a few lotus shower heads half poked out of the water, slightly bent over, as if paying tribute to the old Shang general, among which there are light purple, or pink lotus flowers, that layer of petals, there are actually with the dew of green spirits......

Next to this pool of clear water, there is also a cyan embankment, and there are red plums blooming on the bank, which is in response to Shang Lao's previous impromptu poem, as for why there are plum blossoms in the season when lotus flowers appear? Who will be this kind of bar essence, I don't know if there is a freehand in the landscape painting of China?

Is this still a dish?

With Mr. Shang's extensive knowledge, it is the first time to see such a beautiful plating; and can this be regarded as plating? No matter how clever the plating is, it also has the word 'plate', which shows that the dish is a dish, the plate is a plate, after all, one thing carries another thing, how easy is it to achieve perfect harmony?

But Zhou Dong seemed to directly bring out a painting of a lotus pond, which made people suddenly ignore that this was actually a dish, and their minds also followed this dish into it......

At this moment, he had long forgotten all his previous worries, only to feel that his stomach screamed slightly, and a lot of saliva gushed out of his mouth.

"Mr. Shang, this is the lotus leaf lotus soup recorded in "Dream of Red Mansions", and Master Huang and I tried to restore it according to the records in the book. ”

Zhou Dong didn't forget to add Lao Huang, and people did make a lot of efforts.

"Oh, is that soup from "Dream of Red Mansions"?

It really bothered Master Xiao Zhou. ”

Shang Lao looked at Zhou Dong, didn't say anything, but said to Huang Sixia with some reproach: "I still know this soup dish, it needs to use a very fine mold, and it is said that it needs to be made of silver?"

The book says that for this soup dish, Jiafu will have to spend twenty taels of silver, right?

Master Huang, Xiao Zhou doesn't know, but you know, I have always been against extravagance and waste, when did you quietly prepare this set of molds?"

"Elder Shang, no, ......"

Huang Sixia's face was bitter, and Shang Lao really misunderstood.

Zhou Dong hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Shang Lao, we don't use any silver molds, these applied molds are all carved from Master Huang's hands with winter melons."

In fact, after removing this very cumbersome mold, this lotus leaf lotus soup is just a civilian food, and it is not a luxury at all. ”

"Oh, if that's the case, I'll try it?"

In fact, from the first sight of this lotus leaf lotus soup, Shang Lao felt that he was hungry, and he had an urge to eat all this soup.

However, in front of his son and grandson, as well as Zhou Dong and Huang Sixia, he still had to be reserved, so he first picked up the spoon and gently scooped a mouthful of soup into his mouth.

"It's delicious!"

Shang Lao secretly praised that he drank too much chicken soup, and most of it was chicken soup that was hung by Huang Sixia, the chef, so it was naturally not much worse. However, today's chicken soup is not only delicious, but also has an amazing touch, as if the soup that used to be invisible suddenly becomes a tangible thing, flowing on the tongue and teeth, as if it was gently touched by a warm hand......

Then it melts in the mouth, this process of melting is very layered, the chicken skin that was carefully separated by the two chefs has already been perfectly integrated in the soup, but it has not completely dissolved, with rich collagen, and Shang Lao's tongue and tongue continue to linger, the moment it melts away, it is like a warm current, quickly absorbed by the stomach, and then slowly moisturizes the old man's body.

If you let this old man describe his feelings at the moment in one sentence, it is that drinking this soup is like walking from the cold winter to spring, the sun is warm, the wind is warm, and even people's hearts are warm......

A bite of soup is calming and satisfying!

Shang Lao put down the spoon, took the chopsticks that Shang Qingxiong quickly handed over like a dog's leg, and gently picked up a lotus pod, this lotus pod is naturally fake, but because Huang Sixia's carved mold is really first-class, coupled with Zhou Dong's almost perfect pastry skills, it has reached the level of being fake.

The lotus pod as a whole is the main green system, which is naturally based on 'Qiancui drops', and the other two kinds of rice noodles are reasonably proportioned, either to increase their fragrance or sweetness, so that their taste is more layered and richer.

In addition, when the rice noodles are steamed on the mold, the bottom of the cage should be laid with real lotus leaves, in order to borrow its fragrance, it is difficult to find fresh lotus leaves in this season, Huang Sixia is supernatural, and actually found fresh lotus leaves that are tender and tender, with such a good thing, it is also a lot of color for this soup dish.

Shang always knew in advance that this was a fake lotus pod, otherwise he might not be able to distinguish the real from the fake at first glance, so he took it to his eyes and looked at it carefully: "Good craftsmanship, it can be confused with the fake, and there are actually lotus seeds?"

Except for this lotus pod, which can be eaten as a whole, the rest of the places are the same as the real lotus pod, on the head of the lotus pod, there is a bulging protrusion, which is exactly the appearance of the lotus seeds hidden below.

Zhou Dong said with a smile: "Elder Shang, just like eating a real lotus pod, if you open the lotus pod skin on it, you can see the lotus seeds." ”

"Oh, that's fun, I'll try. ”

Shang Lao suddenly became childlike, put the lotus canopy on the plate in front of him, picked up the chopsticks and gently poked at one of the protruding positions.

"Poof. ”

As a burst of heat rose, the lotus puff skin near the protruding position easily fell, revealing a lotus seed born in Baisheng, Shang Lao took a lotus seed and put it in his mouth, and chewed it lightly a few times: "It's delicious, it seems to be the taste of lotus seeds, but it seems to be more tender and crisp and sweet than lotus seeds?"
