Chapter 302: Lotus Root Powder
Mai is a veteran Taobao buyer, and it can be said that since the rise of online shopping, she rarely goes to physical stores, and basically buys things online.
Whether it's for food or drink, it's almost always solved on the Internet. Before the Spring Festival, she happened to click into a local store called "Qingshui Village's online store".
The trading volume is high, but the rating is not high, and it looks like brushed out data at first glance. Wheat clicked in and took a look, and the rest of them were all decent, all of them were common things in the countryside, such as beans, peanuts, sweet potatoes, and the like.
Only Luo Tong's family is different, everyone else's photos are of each family, and Luo Tong's family is all cute pets. Cats, cats, dogs, squirrels or something, I can see that the heart of the old aunt of wheat is about to melt.
There are two things in this Luo Tong family, eggs and lotus root powder. Considering the transportation of fresh chicken, duck and goose eggs, Wheat hesitated and finally chose to buy a pound of lotus root flour. This is mainly based on the face of the cute pet, the key is that the price of this lotus root powder is a bit high.
Looking for common lotus root flour is generally 45 yuan a catty, Luo Tong directly doubled, 90 yuan a catty, of course, free shipping. At the beginning of the pricing, Chen Yu was still startled, and he dared to put it up after repeatedly confirming that it was this price.
This is also the price that Luo Tong asked Sheng Qiwu to set, in Sheng Qiwu's opinion, the quality of the lotus root powder in Luo Tong's lotus pond is very good. I didn't see his friends who do food processing, and they all picked up a lot of them from here.
Mai's full name is Mai Yaqing, and he is an ordinary white-collar worker in the magic capital, with an income of one person to feed the whole family without hunger, and he has no financial burden. This time I bought a pound of lotus root flour, and she regretted it just after placing an order, and then I thought it would be troublesome to return it.
She placed an order on the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, and the things she bought arrived on the first day of the Lunar New Year. At this time, Mai Yaqing was watching TV with her grandparents in the living room, and on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the shops were closed, so she could only stay at home.
When the knock on the door sounded, Mai Yaqing was still wondering, who is this? The puzzled Mai Yaqing took the courier she received to the living room, and Grandma Mai, who was watching TV, pushed the reading glasses on her nose.
"What do you buy? Do you send express delivery for the New Year?" Don't look at the old man's age, but his thinking is not outdated at all, and he knows everything about online shopping.
"I don't know, I'll take it apart and take a look. Mai Yaqing found a pair of scissors, and Mai's father and Mai's mother also came over, boring, now I feel fresh when I look at the express delivery. Grandpa Mai sat calmly on the sofa, but the corner of his eye kept sweeping this way.
In the eyes of everyone, this small express package finally revealed the true face of Lushan. It is a packet of lotus root flour, which is very simple and has no logo on it.
When Sheng Qiwu's friend processed lotus root flour, he was very intimate and packaged according to the amount of one pound and one pack. They are all vacuum-packed, only the production date and shelf life are indicated, and the others are not, so it can be said that this is very simple packaging.
Grandma Mai usually pays attention to health preservation, and she can see at a glance that this is lotus root powder. She didn't wait for the wheat to stretch out her hand, she took out the bag of lotus root flour and observed it carefully.
The appearance of this lotus root flour looks particularly clear, like snowflakes. Grandma Mai thought about it for a long time, and could only describe it as Bingqing Yujie.
"Mom, the packaging of this lotus root flour is too simple, right?" Mai's mother was a little skeptical, such a simple packaging made people wonder if this product was a three-no product.
She has good eyes, only saw the production date and shelf life, this manufacturer and the production certificate are the same, this is food, and it is not reassuring to look at.
Grandma Mai frowned, and didn't agree with Mama Mai's words, "Wheat, you go and get a few small bowls." Then he said to Mama Mai: "Don't look at this package, maybe this is still a good thing." ”
At this time, wheat came out with five small bowls, one for each person, and those who saw it had a share. Grandma Mai opened the package, and immediately a fragrance came out, and when she caught it carefully, she found that it seemed to be an illusion of herself.
Grandma Mai put about 20 grams in a small bowl, and first use a small amount of warm water to melt the lotus root flour. Then stir well, add boiling water, and stir evenly while pouring, the more you stir, the color of the lotus root powder will gradually change.
At first, the cornstarch was a very clear color, but later it became a lilac color, which was crystal clear. After Grandma Mai made a cup for Grandpa Mai, she then picked up her own cup and ignored the others.
The wheat family of three glanced at each other and did it themselves. As soon as this lilac lotus root powder enters the mouth, it is a burst of sweetness, with a light and elegant fragrance, and the entrance is very smooth.
Mama Mai didn't want to taste it yet, but later saw that four of the five people in the family were holding small bowls, looking like they were enjoying it. Mama Mai tasted the letter suspiciously, and her eyes lit up as soon as she entered her mouth, and the doubts about the three no-products at the beginning had long been forgotten outside the clouds.
Grandma Mai put down the small bowl and nodded her chin at the wheat: "Tell me, what's going on? The quality of this lotus root flour is really good, and it is suitable for the old and infirm." ”
While speaking, Grandma Mai's eyes vaguely glanced at Grandpa Mai who was sitting next to her, and was said by the old and frail Grandpa Mai that he was also shot while lying down. However, old age is real, and it is not necessarily frail.
Mai Yaqing was still immersed in the sweetness and smoothness of lotus root powder, and took her mobile phone over when she heard the words. I found the small shop of the online store in Qingshui Village, clicked into the special topic of Luotong, and saw the origin of these lotus root noodles, ten acres of lotus pond.
Looking at the beautiful scenery on this picture, Grandma Mai nodded and said: "Only such a beautiful place can produce such a good quality lotus root flour, 90 yuan a pound is cheap." You take advantage of the fact that this online store is not yet more famous, buy a few catties of lotus root flour and put it at home. ”
"In my opinion, the benefits of this lotus root powder will be discovered sooner or later, so we have to start first, and we can't buy it when we can save it. "Grandma Mai is a very forward-looking person, and sure enough, this lotus root flour was also limited in purchase.
"Grandma, how much should we buy?" Mai Yaqing raised her hand, their grandmother Mai is a very assertive person, and there are almost no mistakes in judgment.
"Buy a 10-pound first, oh no, 20 pounds," Grandma Mai hesitated and set a 20-pound amount.
"20 catties, will it be too much?" Mai's mother felt that it was a bit exaggerated, even if this lotus root flour was good, it couldn't be eaten as a meal, when would 20 catties be eaten?
"It's not much at all, okay?" Grandma Mai calculated for Mai's mother, "One person is 40 grams a day, and the consumption of five of us is 200 grams a day." These 20 catties of lotus root flour are only enough for our family to eat for 50 days, is this still enough?"
