Xu Xianling is a good official who likes to have fun with the people, and he is also very generous, he bought five cans of perfume lotus back, and voluntarily contributed one can, so that the subordinates brewed it according to the recipe given by Jiang Xuehe, and sent a cup to the old men and scholars who wanted to judge with him. Of course, this jar was not enough, and in the end, Xu Xianling reluctantly dialed half a jar of white lotus out again.

The curled lotus leaf teapot for making tea is still provided by Jiang Xuehe, this pot has no lid, and anyone can see the lotus flower floating in the water, as if it is fluttering with the waves. There are also a lot of cups that are small lotus leaf cups and small lotus cups provided by Jiang Xuehe, which are very pleasing to those scholars and girls, and even Xu Xianling thinks that Jiang Xuehe's tea sets are very interesting and wants to buy a set. However, Jiang Xuehe also customized three sets, and now everyone is using them, and there is no way to sell them to him.

As for those who can't get a cup, they borrow someone else's cup, or directly use lotus leaves to hold some, which is not interesting.

At this time, Xu Zisheng brought his friends over to beg for tea, and Jiang Xuehe's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Second Young Master Xu, I remember that the porcelain kiln where I customized porcelain recently seems to be in charge of you?" Jiang Xuehe asked.

Xu Zisheng nodded and smiled: "That porcelain kiln is a gift from my grandfather. ”

"In that case, how about we make a deal?" Jiang Xuehe asked again.

Xu Zisheng glanced at Jiang Han, who was making tea for him, and said with a smile: "It depends on whether Mrs. Gu's cup of tea today can satisfy me." ”

Jiang Hanxiao raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Listening to this, Second Young Master Xu is still going to be dissatisfied at any time?" ”

Xu Zisheng hurriedly waved his hand: "Naturally I don't dare, I am absolutely 10,000 satisfied with the smiling girl." ”

Jiang Han couldn't help glaring at him: "Obviously you're talking about tea, why did you talk about me again?" ”

"I'm satisfied with the tea, and I'm even more satisfied with the people who make the tea, but it's a hard girl." Xu Zisheng said and took out a bracelet from his arms, and there was a lotus pendant made of white jade on the bracelet, "I got it by chance when I went out this morning, so let's wear it and play with it." ”

Jiang Han smiled and liked it very much, but he was embarrassed to accept gifts from others, so he stretched out his hand and pushed it, but who knew that he was directly put on his wrist by Xu Zisheng.

"You and I have already made up our minds, why should the girl be so polite."

This tone was a bit domineering, Jiang Xuehe glanced at Jiang Han and smiled, and found that her cousin actually ate this set, lowered her head and frowned, revealing a little shyness. Jiang Xuehe rarely saw her show such a little daughter's attitude, and she couldn't help but laugh.

After Xu Zisheng drank tea, he chatted with Jiang Hanxiao for a few words, and then turned his head and talked about business with Jiang Xuehe, and the two temporarily made a verbal agreement.

When everyone is almost ready, the election on the Pinhua District side will begin. The Cao family was determined to do this, and prepared several dishes early in the morning. The people in the West Courtyard were a little apprehensive, these pastries were rejected by the Xu County Order just now, who knows if the County Order will still like it now?

Jiang Xuehe did not prepare many dishes, a crispy fried lotus, a lotus chicken, and a lotus fish soup. She has made crispy fried lotus flowers many times, and this time she specially chose one that she planted in her yard. The flowers in the yard have been carefully raised by her, and the Qionglu has been distributed more than other flowers, and those lotus plants seem to be different from the ones she planted on the side of Guanhe Mountain, and the faint fragrance can last for a long time. Using such lotus flowers to make desserts, the fragrance can also stay between the lips and teeth for a long time.

And the lotus flowers in Guanhe Mountain are the same as ordinary lotuses, although they can be cooked, but they have some bitter taste, and although the lotus flowers planted in her yard are not as sweet as the perfume lotus, the bitter taste is almost none.

Lotus chicken is made with the perfume lotus flower. This chicken was raised by Aunt Diao San at the foot of Guanhe Mountain early in the morning, and it was fed with cereals on weekdays. But because there are lotus ponds everywhere at the foot of Guanhe Mountain, this chicken drinks lotus pond water, and will also peck lotus seeds and lotus flowers to eat, so the chickens raised in this way will be leaner.

When cooking, the chicken is salted and boiled in boiling water, then taken out and soaked in the soaked lotus water, and after the chicken is dyed with the fragrance of lotus flowers and evenly absorbs the yellow and clear natural flower color, it is then soaked with cold lotus water. When serving, add fresh lotus seeds and perfumed lotus flowers with lotus water soaked in chicken to brew the flavor and pour it on the chicken, and cut some fresh lotus filaments to accompany the plate. In order to look good on the plate, Jiang Xuehe placed the chicken on a cleaned lotus leaf, and a snow-white blooming perfume lotus flower was placed on the side.

This dish also has a more elegant nickname, called Broadcast Fang Yinfeng.

As for the lotus fish soup, Jiang Xuehe made it casually. Because Jiang Qingya was supposed to go to school in the town today, but their husband was a glutton, and he ran out when he heard that there were a lot of dishes about lotus flowers at the hibiscus banquet. Seeing this, Jiang Qingya and the other fart children naturally had no intention of studying, and they dispersed.

Jiang Qingya originally went to the river to fish with his friends, but he was lucky and caught two big mandarin fish, thinking that his sister and cousin had gone to the hibiscus feast, so he carried the two big fish together.

During this school period, he suddenly ran over with two big fish, and naturally Jiang Han smiled and lifted his ears, but this fish was also successfully sacrificed. Jiang Xuehe asked Diao Ruyue to kill one of them, and then she cut the fish into slices, added the cut lotus silk and lotus root and boiled it into a bowl of lotus fish soup, which was very delicious.

The dishes of Caojia Restaurant are also very beautiful, the taste is also very fragrant, and there are as many as eight dishes, and everyone feels that they have no chance of winning when they see it. The people in the West Courtyard of the Gu family don't think like this, they think that since Jiang Xuehe's peach blossom cake sold so well before, then their lotus cake makes no sense and no one likes it, although they were rejected by Xu Xianling before, but it was definitely not the problem of lotus crisp, but Xu Xianling was embarrassed to accept Gu Shuangshuang's kindness in front of his wife.

Although Tao does not participate in the judgment, as the county lady, even if she tastes all the dishes one by one, everyone will not say anything, and she is even very happy. Because after watching it for a long time, everyone knew that Xu Xianling really loved his wife very much.

However, Dow's dishes are very casual, basically which one is pleasing to the eye, and she is not a judge, so naturally she will not taste them one by one, otherwise what can I do if I support my stomach? She ate a lot of food before she was judged.

When tasting the food, Tao saw the lotus crisp again, although she hadn't forgotten Gu Shuangshuang's stubble, but she didn't know Gu Shuangshuang, and she hadn't carefully looked at the things on Gu Shuangshuang's plate at that time, so she didn't think about it when she saw this plate of lotus crisp at the moment.

Tao remembered that the peach blossom cake she ate at the peach blossom banquet last time was very delicious, thinking that now it is the hibiscus banquet, and the clever woman who made the peach blossom cake before should be able to make lotus cake, right? It's just that at this hibiscus banquet, everyone didn't know if it was inspired by the peach blossom cake before, and there were too many people making lotus cakes to participate in the campaign, and Dow was almost dazzled, and finally picked a piece that she thought was the best to taste. And the best thing about this plate happens to be the Gu family's West Courtyard.

In my heart, this lotus crisp is not unpalatable, but it has more lotus fragrance and bitter taste of lotus petals than the pastries of Le Wei Zhai, and Tao felt disappointed when he tasted it.

The people in the West Courtyard couldn't believe it when they saw Tao's disappointed expression, obviously their lotus cake was much stronger than all the lotus cakes in the competition. This is true, otherwise Dow would not have been the first to taste their lotus cake. But if you want to talk about the taste, although the taste of the lotus cake she tasted later did not satisfy her, it was stronger than the Gu family's West Courtyard.

Dow was disappointed after tasting a few dishes in a row, for her, these dishes were not unpalatable, and there was nothing new in the taste, either they were all vegetarian stir-fried, or they were big fish and meat. Although there is lotus incense, there is always a bitter taste in the lotus petals, which makes her not like it very much. It wasn't until he ate the lotus fish soup made by Jiang Xuehe that Tao's eyes lit up.

This fish soup is very delicious, the fish meat is fresh and tender, the filaments are sweet, the lotus root is crisp, and more importantly, the lips and teeth are fragrant and the aftertaste is endless. Tao scooped three spoonfuls to drink, she had already eaten the flavor of the perfume lotus, and saw that the sign on the side of the fish soup was written about Hua Yu Fang, so she tasted all the dishes hanging on Hua Yu Fang, and she liked each one very much, but unfortunately there were too few dishes on Hua Yu Fang.

Xu Xian Ling saw that his wife liked it, and he also gave priority to the three dishes made by Jiang Xuehe, and after tasting all the dishes, he understood, if it comes to cooking, Cao's restaurant does not have to be as bad as Hua's restaurant, but the lotus filament of Hua's restaurant has no bitter taste, but has a special fragrance, so it is better than Cao's restaurant.

Xu Xianling asked a few other diners again, and found that everyone's opinions were the same as his. Everyone has found that the biggest problem with using lotus flowers is the bitterness in the lotus flowers, and this flower food workshop can remove the bitter taste in it, and it has won most of it.

"What kind of restaurant is this Hua Yu Fang? How come the old man has never heard of it? An old diner wondered.

"The old man has never heard of this place after staying in Songyue County for so many years, as if it came out of thin air."

"Have you ever heard of it?" Someone asked Xu County Order again.

"I've never heard of it, but don't you know if you ask?" Xu Xian Ling smiled and shouted, "Whose restaurant is this flower food shop?" Come out and show the county, the county has said before, the leader of this Pinhua District can get the inscription of the county. According to the county and several discussions, the final selection of the dish is this lotus fish soup. ”

The inscription of the county order is naturally what everyone wants, after all, it is a scientific examination that can be examined, and the words will not be too bad. Even if you don't write well, it doesn't matter, as long as the sign at your door is hung by the county order, you can attract a few more guests when you say it. Now when I hear that today's leader is the lotus fish soup of Hua Yufang, I am not very happy. Especially the Cao family, thinking that if they knew which Hua Yufang was, they would definitely close their doors at that time!
