Chapter 17: Enhanced version of osmanthus glutinous rice lotus

Zhou Heng glanced at him, "Chop wood, light the fire, prepare a small wind stove for me and send it to the room, I want to boil the enhanced version of osmanthus nectar!" ”

"In the room? Why can't you be here? ”

Zhou Heng glared, looking at the stupid Boss Xue, whether he added something or not, he had to look very mysterious, which made people feel valuable, this Zhu Yunmo is a living signboard, can you make good use of it?

"I don't know the secret recipe, I'm going to add a special herb and go!"

"Oh, I see!"

Boss Xue realized, and then he smiled and ran out.

After a while, he took a wind stove and sent it to the wing room, there was a casserole on it, and he ran again, bringing honey and osmanthus, remembering that Zhou Heng had just mentioned these two things.

Zhou Heng didn't say anything, he quickly grabbed the osmanthus and took a look, picked it a little, and threw it into the pot, then added a layer of honey and sprinkled a layer of osmanthus.

As soon as the golden osmanthus is hot, it instantly exudes a strong fragrance, and with the stirring of honey, the sweet fragrance and the floral fragrance are superimposed together, less sweet, more fragrant.

"It smells so good! But there's no encryption either! ”

Zhou Heng sighed, the IQ of this product is paroxysmal, and when he sees food, his intelligence decreases, and it is estimated that his brain is already tired of honey at this time!

"If you don't say that to the outside world, do you still tell people that anyone can do this, so who will you sell?"

After speaking, he no longer paid attention to Boss Xue behind him, and stirred it with a wooden spoon, seeing that the mixture was evenly mixed and there were no bubbles, Zhou Heng took the casserole away from the wind stove, and Boss Xue understood what Zhou Heng meant this time, and moved everything back to the small kitchen again.

At this time, Zhu Dayong's glutinous rice had already been washed, and he helped Zhu Changli scrub the lotus root, and Xue Boss's furnace fire was already burning.

"Brother Xue, put the licorice and mint in the pot, boil the water, don't rush the fire, just boil slowly over low heat, and then find some bamboo chips, and we will cut them into bamboo skewers ourselves."

Boss Xue nodded and began to add water, that Zhu Dayong volunteered to find a lot of long bamboo chips, cut them and scald them clean, Zhou Heng asked them to change half of the bamboo skewers to the length of toothpicks.

Two hours later, Zhou Heng tasted the herbal soup in the pot, threw the brown sugar into a big bowl, and the soup turned black and red in an instant.

"It's done, let's pour rice, learn from me, carefully stuff these soaked glutinous rice into the holes of the lotus root, and then insert the cut plug with a bamboo skewer."

Saying that, Zhou Heng had already started to fill the rice, and quickly filled a lotus root, although the three of them were not very skillful, they also did it in style, and soon, the lotus root filled with glutinous rice was placed in a pot.

Zhou Heng looked at the number and asked them to stop.

"Okay, it's not early, let's do so much today, carefully put the lotus root in the pot, and cook it on high heat for two quarters of an hour!"

Boss Xue came to the spirit, "I'm coming!" ”

As he spoke, he walked to the cauldron with the pot, carefully placed the lotus root in the pot, closed the lid and hurried to add firewood.

Zhou Heng shook his shoulders, not to mention that this job is not easier than surgery, go back to the house to rest for a while, the time is almost up, Zhou Heng returned to the small kitchen again.

The three of them were neatly lined up and stood by the stove, and a rich aroma came from the pot.

It seemed to smell good, Zhou Heng pursed his lips and walked closer, raised his chin towards Boss Xue, and said:

"Open the lid of the pot, pay attention to the water on it, don't drip into the pot, and move quickly, otherwise it will affect the taste!"

Boss Xue nodded solemnly, no matter how this thing smells, it is tempting enough, and it is a sin to waste food!

With a quick movement in his hand, he lifted the lid of the pot and quickly placed it next to the stove, and with a burst of steam, a stronger fragrance came out.

Zhou Heng looked at it, there was no soup in the pot anymore, but there were small brown-red bubbles between the lotus roots, and a smug smile spread on Zhou Heng's lips.

"It's done, give me some plates."

Zhu Dayong was quick with his hands and feet, and hurriedly handed a stack of plates to Zhou Heng, chose a super-large flat plate, and found two small flat plates, frowning slightly.

It seems that there is a trace of charm missing from this pretend, where can it reflect a different feeling?

Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration, thinking of the plating of later generations, the combination of poetry and food, it is simply not too stylish!

"Brother Xue, I remember that you brought a lot of lotus leaves covered with lotus roots, do you still have them now?"

Boss Xue looked puzzled, but he still pointed to a basket in the corner of the wall, which was full of lotus leaves, Zhou Heng hurriedly walked over, rummaged through it, picked out more than a dozen very complete lotus leaves, and a lotus bud, and handed it to Zhu Dayong with a smile.

"Rinse it with well water, don't rub it, just rinse it gently!"

Boss Xue looked puzzled, and asked innocently, "What do you want this leaf for?" Don't eat or drink! ”

The smile on Zhou Heng's face disappeared in an instant, and he glanced at him.

"Look at it honestly, where are there so many problems!"

Boss Xue clenched his fists and frowned, glanced at the courtyard, thought of the broken pebbles, quickly let go of his fists, didn't say anything else, and followed Zhou Heng to the stove.

Zhu Dayong was quick with his hands and feet, quickly rinsed the lotus leaves, Zhou Heng found a piece of suitable size, put it in the plate, broke off the petals of the lotus flower, and scattered them in the corner of the lotus leaf.

Roll up your sleeves, hold a small flat plate in each hand, hold a soft and glutinous lotus root, put it on the cutting board, pad a folded lotus leaf, cut the glutinous rice root into finger-thick slices, and place them in the lotus leaf plate one by one.

Finally, with a long wooden spoon, some osmanthus nectar zigzag poured on the glutinous rice lotus, the honey emitted a burst of sweet fragrance when heated, Zhou Heng held the plate and took a deep breath.

"It's done, this plate is sent to Zhu Gongzi, it's easy to recuperate in summer, this osmanthus glutinous rice root is to cool off the heat, and there are medicinal materials in it, which is very suitable for injured people to eat."

As soon as Zhu Dayong stretched out his hand to take it, Xue Laoda, whose eyes did not leave the glutinous rice lotus, swallowed his saliva and said suspiciously:

"Can this thing be eaten? Why don't we taste the taste, and go back and see if the taste is correct? ”

Zhou Heng's cheeks trembled, this product just wanted to eat, originally planned to send it to Zhu Yunmo first, and then they tasted it, looking at the two expectant eyes, Zhou Heng nodded slightly.

"Okay, let's put down this plate first, let's cut another one, this osmanthus glutinous rice lotus cold food tastes better."

Saying that, there was no hypocrisy, he took out two sections of lotus root again, quickly cut them into thick slices and put them on the plate, just poured on the osmanthus nectar, and Boss Xue got a bamboo stick from somewhere, tied up a piece and sent it to his mouth.

It was so hot that he smacked for a long time, and then squinted his eyes and hummed, no need to describe it, that expression said everything, Zhu Dayong and Zhu Changli looked at Zhou Heng, and Zhou Heng waved his hand.

"Look, let's eat!"

The two also followed the example of Boss Xue, and ate the glutinous rice lotus root with a bamboo stick, and Zhu Dayong took a bite and his eyes widened.

"It's so sweet and glutinous, you can eat it for a toothless old lady!"

Zhou Heng looked at his eating appearance, and suddenly thought of the barbecue in later generations, if this low-profile version of glutinous rice lotus root can also be sold with bamboo skewers, a section of lotus root can be skewered three or four strings, and the price is correspondingly cheaper.

Thinking about it, Zhou Heng skewered a string with a double bamboo stick, with three thick pieces of glutinous rice lotus root inserted on it, and looked at the three of them.

"Is this string of ten cents expensive?"

The three of them all shook their heads, Zhu Dayong pointed to the door, and said: "The peach crisp in the Lin family shop in the east of the city is much smaller than this one, and it is not as sweet as the osmanthus glutinous rice lotus. ”

Zhou Heng raised his eyebrows, obviously this peach cake is a kind of dim sum here, or the kind that is a household name, since it is cheaper than that, the sales should be fine.

As soon as Zhou Heng lowered his head, there was already the last piece left in the plate, but it was also forked up and sent into Boss Xue's mouth, and his mouth was almost unable to chew, seeing Zhou Heng looking at him, Boss Xue sped up and swallowed it, choking on two burps.

"Uh...... Sorry, it's so delicious......"

Zhou Heng sighed, "I'm asking you, is a string of ten cents expensive?" ”

Boss Xue nodded without hesitation, "Expensive, this thing is too little to eat in three slices and one bunch, I can eat fifty or sixty skewers myself!" ”
