I thought that at the beginning, I followed the owner to Huizhou, and a plate of lotus root cost 200 yuan, and there were only about 20 thin pieces in it, which was rare and expensive, and this lotus root did not know how to have it in Luojia Village.

It is also the luck of Luo Laotian and his family, who can know the lotus root, and similarly, this is also the luck of Tianfeng Building.

Tianfeng Lou is not only Luoxia Town, there are several other counties and towns, the scale of Luoxia Town can only be regarded as in the middle of all eight houses, and now with this lotus root, it will definitely be able to show its face in front of the owner.

When I went to Huizhou, after tasting the taste of lotus root, the owner let people inquire for the first time, everyone is a fixed buyer, and the limited amount, the owner returned in defeat, if he can take out this lotus root now, he will not have a face, maybe he can also be transferred to the county seat.

It would be even better if we could have it every year.

"What do you call this big brother?" Shen Shijie asked Luo Laotian with a smile.

"I can't do it, I can't help it, I'm Luo Laotian from Luojia Village, and the shopkeeper Shen calls me Lao Luo or Lao Tian Ducheng." Luo Laotian waved his hand again and again.

"Lao Tian, how many lotus roots do you have?" Shen Shijie asked.

"There should be at least as many as there are today." Luo Laotian said uncertainly, and his eyes naturally aimed at Luo Qinghe.

Shen Shijie was stunned, is this little girl in charge of this family?

"Shopkeeper Shen, we don't know much, our granddaughter has read books and knows more than those of us who can only dig in the field." Luo Laotian explained with a smile.

Shen Shijie nodded knowingly.

"Then there will be lotus roots next year?" Shen Shijie looked at Luo Qinghe and asked.

"Well, there will be, it's a matter of quantity." Luo Qinghe said bluntly.

Shen Shijie's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Seriously, then I will wrap up your lotus roots in the future, and I hope you will only sell them to us Tianfeng Building." ”

"Definitely." Luo Qinghe nodded in promise.

Shen Shijie was very happy, "You guys stay for lunch and then leave, it's time now, you must stay, you all promise to only sell to me, I have to repay this love, and you must also accept Lao Tian." ”

Shen Shijie was very enthusiastic, and Luo Laotian refused to any avail, so he agreed.

"Shopkeeper Shen, I still know some lotus root practices, I don't know if Shopkeeper Shen is interested?" Luo Qinghe said with a smile, "If you're interested, you can try it at lunch." ”

Shen Shijie was very interested, "I don't know what the little girl is called?" ”

"Luo Qinghe."

"Qinghe, I didn't expect you to be so young, not only can you read and write, but you are also so good at cooking." Shen Shijie praised with a smile.

"It's good if Shopkeeper Shen doesn't dislike it." Luo Qinghe said modestly.

"I'm looking forward to it." Shen Shijie said that this little girl can know lotus root and know how to cook lotus root, and Shen Shijie does not doubt it at all.

"Shopkeeper Shen, it's all weighed." Xu Qiang said, "A total of one hundred and forty-eight catties and five taels." ”

"Count one hundred and fifty pounds." Shopkeeper Shen said, "A total of 4,500 Wen, Lao Tian, can I give you four taels of silver and 500 copper coins?" ”

"Okay, okay, thank you Shen shopkeeper." When Luo Laotian heard that there were four halves, the whole person was fluctuating, and his family seemed to have not seen so much money for a long time.

"By the way, Shopkeeper Shen, do you collect hares and pheasants?" Luo Qinghe asked.

Tian Cuizhu reacted, she still carried a basket containing pheasants and hares on her back.

"Harvest, the game is very popular, you can come to Tianfeng Lou in the future, and you will collect it." Shen Shijie said.

Tian Cuizhu hurriedly put down the basket and took out the pheasants and hares inside.

Shen Shijie saw that he was still alive, and he was even happier, "It's all calculated according to thirty wen a catty." ”

Luo Laotian's eyes widened, "Shopkeeper Shen, you can't take care of us and suffer by yourself, we know the price of this pheasant and hare, although it is higher than pork, but the hare is twenty-five wen a catty; The price of pheasants is even lower, the skin of the hare is still worth some money, and the pheasant's is not worth it. ”

Shen Shijie smiled and waved his hand, "Lao Tian, I know, at today's price, next time you send it, I will receive it according to the price on the market, today I have seen the lotus root noodles, and the second is because the pheasants and hares are alive, and the most important thing is to make friends with you." ”

Luo Laotian saw that Shen Shijie was telling the truth, and finally agreed if he couldn't resist.

Xu Qiang cleverly weighed it, the hare is seven catties and nine taels, which is eight catties; The pheasant is five catties and three taels, counting six catties, a total of four hundred and twenty wen.

Shen Shijie waved his hand and gave a total of five taels, four taels of silver, and a thousand copper coins with lotus roots.

Luo Qinghe sighed, the charm of lotus root is really great.

Shen Shijie greeted Luo Laotian, Luo Changgen, Luo Dagen and Luo Yougen to the small private room on the second floor, while Tian Cuizhu and Luo Qinghe went to the kitchen under the guidance of Xu Qiang.

Xu Qiang arranged a stove for Luo Qinghe to make lotus roots, and Tian Cuizhu helped to light the fire.

Luo Qinghe thought about using lotus root to make three dishes and one dessert, but one stove was a little less.

"Big brother, do you have a small stove and a crockpot?" Luo Qinghe asked.

Xu Qiang nodded, brought Luo Qinghe a stove, a clay pot, and filled some charcoal with a dustpan, "Sister Qinghe, this is for you, and you can use the ingredients and seasonings in the kitchen." ”

Luo Qinghe thanked him, turned around the big kitchen, the dishes he wanted to make, the ingredients and seasonings were all here, Luo Qinghe scooped the glutinous rice first, washed it, and soaked it directly in hot water, and the main ingredients of the dessert glutinous rice lotus root were ready.

The first dish, Luo Qinghe is to use the stove and clay pot to stew lotus root and big bone broth, take the big bones cut into pieces, Mr. stove, pour water in the crockpot, put the big bones in and cook them first, put some salt to make the big bones taste, and then cut the lotus root, cut it into pieces, and put it aside for later use.

For the second dish, Luo Qinghe plans to make hot and sour lotus root slices, lotus root and pork belly cut into slices, chili peppers and ginger cut into dices, and green onions cut into sections as long as they are close to the roots.

Pour oil, put the pork belly slices in the pot, fry until they are medium-cooked, scoop up the meat, pour some oil, add green onions, chili peppers and ginger and stir-fry until fragrant, then put the lotus root slices, fry quickly over high heat, wait for the lotus root slices to be cooked, put in the pork belly, continue to stir-fry, then add salt and vinegar, stir-fry evenly and then get out of the pot.

Xu Qiang has been watching from the sidelines, swallowing his saliva unconsciously, it's too fragrant.

"Big brother, please bring it to Shopkeeper Shen." Luo Qinghe handed the plate to Xu Qiang and said.

"I'll take it right away." Xu Qiang took it and walked out without stopping.

Luo Qinghe took the lean meat and planned to chop it up, Tian Cuizhu saw her daughter's thin arms and legs, and took it distressedly, "Qinghe, tell your mother what you want to do, and your mother will do it." ”

Luo Qinghe nodded, "Mother, the lean meat is chopped into minced meat." ”

Tian Cuizhu brandished a kitchen knife and began to move.
