After the dust settled here, it was already nearly eleven o'clock, and Wan Xiang harvested a pot of the best Junzi Orchid, and he was in a good mood. He laughed twice: "Haha, I don't know if I can bother the two of you for a while today, the old man wants to invite the two of you to have a light meal." ”

Sheng Qiwu said with a smile: "The first time you come to our side, we naturally have to do our duty as the host, and treat you two well, and please don't dislike our rural place, coarse tea and light rice are shabby." ”

Anyone will say kind words, and this is not Wanxiang will be coaxed happily. He stroked his beard: "Xiao Sheng is too modest, I see that you are not coarse tea and light rice here, and this primitive thing is not often there." ”

Sheng Qiwu but smiled silently, some things are good in their hearts, the Chinese people pay attention to a kind of subtle beauty, and the charm is much less when you really say it. When guests come to the house, Sheng Qiwu, who is generally not familiar with each other, will be arranged in the resort center.

Only close friends will be entertained at home, Wan Xiang put Junzilan at Luo Tong's house, and went to the resort center with Sheng Qiwu. This time they walked along the lotus pond, and the lotus flowers had already been thanked.

The lotus leaves also withered, and only sporadic lotus leaf poles could be seen in the lotus pond swaying in the cold wind. Sheng Qiwu said with a smile: "Before, Lao Chen also organized the villagers to dig lotus roots, and everyone shared a little bit of it, and most of the others were sent to be processed into lotus root powder." ”

As soon as he said this, Luo Tong also remembered. Around November, the lotus roots in the lotus pond can be harvested. At that time, Luo Tong happened to be busy with the affairs of the rose garden, and he didn't think of this stubble.

Later, Lao Chen was careful and came to Luo Tong to discuss whether to dig lotus roots this year. Since this lotus is planted, it must be to harvest some lotus roots, Luo Tong waved his hand and excavated!

After all, this is a new thing in Qingshui Village, where lotus roots have never been planted, and all men, women and children have come to see the excitement.

Lao Chen organized the village in their fifties of the uncle, they were in the prime of life at this time, and the uncles worked hard for more than ten days to clear most of the lotus roots in the ten acres of lotus ponds.

The rest were all left in the lotus pond, waiting for the buds to bloom again next year, which also saved Luo Tong the money to buy lotus seeds. The yield per mu of this lotus root is quite high, on average, the yield per mu is about 2000 kilograms, and the ten acres of lotus pond produce 20 tons of lotus root.

As soon as this number came out, the big guys were all shocked. Do you want to be so productive? So many lotus roots, their own family must not be able to digest, Sheng Qiwu has a friend who is doing special food processing, Sheng Qiwu found him to see if he can help deal with it.

His friend was very simple and helped to process all these lotus roots into lotus root powder. The amount of powder of this lotus root is 12:1, which means that 12 catties of fresh lotus root can make one catty of lotus root powder. Now the average price of lotus root flour on the market is 45 yuan a catty.

There are a total of 1,600 kilograms of lotus root powder from so many lotus roots, Luo Tong was stunned when he looked at these mountains of lotus root powder, what should I do with so much? Close friends have all sent them all, but there are many more at home.

Seeing that Luo Tong was worried, Sheng Qiwu had a suggestion, but considering that there were outsiders today, Sheng Qiwu also suppressed it, and was ready to wait for Wan Xiang's ancestors and grandchildren to leave before discussing with Luo Tong whether his suggestion was feasible.

Several people soon arrived at the resort center, Wan Xiang sat down and looked at Luo Tong and said with a smile: "Xiao Luo, this Qingshui Village is really a good place, the old man wants to come here to retire." ”

Luo Tong: "If you can come, you are welcome, and I can ask you about this flower at any time." Luo Tong really doesn't think she is powerful, she knows how many catties and taels she has, and in terms of knowledge about flowers and plants, she is far inferior to Wan Xiang.

Wan Xiang laughed, very useful for the compliment of the juniors, and at the same time nodded secretly for Luo Tong's modesty. Generally speaking, people appreciate humility, and proud arrogance rarely wins everyone's favor.

Sheng Qiwu said that he was going to entertain distinguished guests today, so the chef in the kitchen tried his best to successfully brush his face in front of the boss. Can you not be serious?

The work here is idle, and Sheng Qiwu, the boss, is generous, and working here for one month is worth his previous two months' salary.

Besides, this chef is generally delicious, and this chef is even better, flying in the sky and swimming in the water, almost as soon as he sees it, he thinks about how to make it delicious.

The chef's surname is Ma, his full name is Ma Sen, he is white and chubby, and his two small eyes are all laughing when he laughs, but he is very likable. He was not very old, twenty-five or sixteen, and according to him he had no father or mother, and the whole family was not hungry when one person fed.

He was originally an apprentice in a well-known private restaurant, and the old man of that restaurant can be said to be full of peach and plums, only this Ma Sen has learned eight points of the old man's craft, and the remaining two points are the carving of time.

The old man picked up Ma Sen from a young age and raised him until he was twenty-five or sixteen years old, and then the old man couldn't stand it anymore. This girl is too edible, and she rushes to eat it with the old man at a critical time, and she is very picky, not a good thing that is not easy to eat.

This old man is also a food protector, except for his eighty-year-old mother and his old wife, there are rare things that the old man usually doesn't give anyone, let alone apprentices and grandchildren, and his own sons don't have this treatment.

Just because Masson stole the drunken crab carefully prepared by the old man, the old man was angry and swept Masson out of the house. But the old man didn't really care about Ma Sen, I heard that Sheng Qiwu was short of a head chef here, so the old man introduced Ma Sen here.

In his words, go out and do a good job, don't embarrass me, don't say that you are my apprentice if you don't make some achievements! This is not Ma Sen came to Sheng Qiwu to take root, this guy deserves to be delicious.

On the first day he arrived, he set his sights on the hens in the orchard. None of the other fruits produced in the orchard later could be hidden from Masson's eyes. Sheng Qiwu said that he can open his own small stove, but the money for this ingredient must be paid by himself.

Isn't this Ma Sen ready to brush his face in front of Sheng Qiwu, so that he can earn more money to buy good ingredients and come back to process them himself, isn't it?

I heard that it was Yunnan people who came today, and Ma Sen did not cook this Yunnan cuisine, but sat very local Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine. Others basically eat Yunnan food at home, and they don't let others taste something fresh when they get here?

This traditional Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine is Dongpo pork, onion fried kidney flower, stewed meat with dried vegetables, iron plate bullfrog, farewell concubine, sweet and sour tenderloin, called flower chicken and lion's head, and cold dishes are drunken chicken, salted duck, salted edamame, braised foie gras and so on. This round table is full of tables, and it is dazzling to see.
