Chapter 211: Lotus Root
Xu Ying looked at the two baskets of lotus roots in front of him.
It turned out to be a real lotus root.
Two big baskets full of them.
There is a lotus root here in Heibei, although the color is not so good-looking, and there is a difference between the fresh and freshly picked ones, but they are also intact.
And the lotus root is not very thin, as thick as a child's arm, if it is just picked, it should look very good.
Xu Ying picked up a section, and there was no soil on the lotus root.
How is this preserved?
She frowned slightly.
Then, with a single force, she broke the lotus root.
The middle-aged man wanted to shout, but he stopped talking again, forget it, just a lotus root, if this person buys it for a while, he will be able to make money, otherwise he has to pick it back, he has asked a lot of families, and none of them have bought it.
Xu Ying looked at the broken lotus root, the color was normal, and it was not broken.
"How do you sell this?"
Xu Ying asked, with lotus root, she can cook a lot of fresh dishes to eat, many people here in Heibei have not eaten it.
"Five cents a pound."
The man spoke, looked at Xu Ying's face and said: "If you want all the big sisters, I will count you three cents, no, two cents, big sister, don't dislike expensive, this thing is not easy to grow, and it is troublesome to raise." ”
The man was afraid that Xu Ying would be too expensive. Took the initiative to lower the price.
This price is indeed very expensive, the lotus root over there costs two cents a pound, and those small ones, which do not look good, are a pound a penny.
But this can't be compared, because this is not produced here, and it is normal for things to be scarce and expensive.
"Big brother, how did you save this lotus root, it looks good? It's so cold over here. How could it not be rotten? ”
Xu Ying was puzzled.
"Hey, hey, hey."
The man smiled, but did not answer Xu Ying's question.
Xu Ying knows that everyone has their own secrets, this can be regarded as a secret, people expect this to eat, if he tells himself, then he will lose a secret skill of eating, of course he refuses to say it. It seems that many people have a lot of secret recipes.
Although Xu Ying was curious, she didn't force it.
"Good. You wait for me to make a dish first and taste it. If I could, I'd buy them all. ”
Xu Ying thought about trying the food, if the lotus root here tasted the same as H Nan's side, Xu Ying's eyes lit up when he thought about it. That's going to be a lot more delicious.
"Okay."
The man nodded happily. If you want to try, you can try. If you are willing to buy it, you must know that there are a lot of these two baskets, if you sell them all. You can make a lot of money. The daughter-in-law must be very happy to go back, and she can also buy some meat for her father and children to eat, but they didn't eat meat during the New Year.
This side of the lotus root is washed and peeled.
Xu Ying cut it into thick lotus roots.
Lotus root can make a lot of dishes.
For example: slippery lotus root slices, lotus root clips, lotus root pork rib soup, lotus root balls, there are too many, Xu Ying can make at least dozens of dishes, but her favorite thing to eat is spicy lotus root, so her first experiment is spicy lotus root.
After cutting into strips, starch, flour and egg whites are used to grasp well.
After the oil in the pot was hot, Xu Ying put the lotus root sticks in it and fried it.
Wait until golden brown out of the pan.
"It's so fragrant, it must be delicious when you smell it."
Zhang Ru nodded beside him, this time there was a new dish to eat.
Xu Ying also curled the corners of her mouth.
There was some oil left in the pot, Xu Ying put pepper and chili pepper into it and stir-fried it until fragrant, put the fried lotus root sticks in and stir-fry, put the seasoning, and finally sprinkled a little green onion out of the pot.
"Let's have a taste."
Xu Ying walked out of the kitchen with Zhang Ru with the plate.
The dish was placed on the table, everyone sniffed the aroma, and the man swallowed his saliva even more, this thing can do this, it is really fragrant, just smelling it is greedy, but unfortunately this method costs oil, or he will go home and let his daughter-in-law make a solution to his hunger.
"You all taste it."
Xu Ying said that she picked up the chopsticks first and pinched one.
After all, they hadn't eaten it before, so they had eaten it themselves, and they tasted it first.
Xu Ying put the lotus root in her mouth and chewed it twice, and the expression full of enjoyment froze on her face, and then she frowned and spit out the lotus root in her mouth.
Zhang Ru, Zhao Jing and Wang Damin all sandwiched one to eat, and everyone was stunned when they watched Xu Ying's movements, and when they ate it, the taste was the same as Xu Ying's, and they vomited.
"Why is it sour? It doesn't taste good. ”
Zhao Jing was the first to speak out.
Xu Ying has been frowning here, as Zhao Jing said, why is it sour? Even if there is a difference between the north and the south, the lotus root should not be sour.
"How can it be sour, when I pulled it out, my daughter-in-law fried it for me, although it was not fried, it tasted quite crispy and raw, how could it be sour."
The man didn't believe it and shouted loudly.
"I don't believe you can taste it yourself."
Wang Damin handed him the chopsticks with a dark face.
The man took the chopsticks and picked up a lotus root stick and put it in his mouth, chewed it, his face changed, he wanted to swallow it, but it was really hard to swallow, he turned his head and vomited.
"Do you put too much vinegar in cooking?"
He still can't believe that his lotus root is sour, because he has eaten it before, and it is indeed not sour, why is it sour when he arrives here?
"We didn't put vinegar."
Zhang Ru saw what Xu Ying did with her own eyes, and she knew what Xu Ying put away.
The man was stunned, and some couldn't accept it.
"Have you ever frozen the lotus root in this basket?"
Xu Ying suddenly asked.
"Ah, no, no...... No, it's frozen, but it's not bad, you see, it's still good. ”
The man said no, but think about it, he nodded again, his daughter-in-law said that when she was not at home, half of the lotus root she didn't keep it well, it was frozen, he came back and dealt with it, and it looked good again, it was still white inside, and it wasn't broken.
This means that it has been frozen, and Xu Ying knows it in her heart.
"You can taste it."
Xu Ying took a lotus root, broke it and handed it to the man.
The man took it, he understood what Xu Ying meant, this thing is not that it can't be eaten raw, if he is thirsty when digging lotus roots, he will also wash the mud, break one, and eat half a pull.
He took it and took a bite, he didn't believe that his lotus root was sour.
But after this bite, he was discouraged.
Acid.
It's sour.
The raw one is sour, which is different from what he used to eat at home.
Why is it sour?
"This lotus root has been frozen, because you have done it, although it doesn't look like much has changed, it is actually broken, so it is sour. I can't cook this anymore, I can't use it. ”
Xu Ying's voice was full of regret, so many lotus roots, you can't eat them, if they are not bad, they can be made into hot and sour lotus roots, and you can also make them into pickled pepper lotus roots, but this is bad, and if you eat it, it is harmful to the body, so you can only throw it away.
The man's face was ugly, the two big baskets of lotus root were his hard work, and he wanted to throw it away, his heart trembled, and he felt like he was dripping blood.
"I have nothing frozen at home, at that time my daughter-in-law said that half of it was frozen, and half of it was good, and when I came back, I dealt with the frozen one, thinking it was not broken, but now I see that it is not good, so what about the one that is not frozen? It should be all right, right? ”
The man looked at Xu Ying hopefully. (To be continued......)
