After all, I have to stir-fry and settle accounts, so I'm too tired.

Fortunately, Glo is also literate and can settle accounts, and the husband and wife work together to get it, which is fine.

Ge Luo kissed his daughter-in-law's forehead with some distress and said, "It's okay, if you don't want to count those copper coins, don't count them, just pull them to the money bank, let the number of people inside be good, and just exchange them for silver." ”

"Well, then don't count, it's too much, it's very tired." Liu Xiuxiu nodded and said.

It's summer, and it's the time when all kinds of melons and fruits are ripe, especially the lotus flowers planted in the pond.

Liu Xiuxiu now feels that the idea of digging a pond to plant lotus flowers is really wonderful, and now the weather is hot and can sit next to the pond to enjoy the coolness, and the lotus root inside can also be dug out lotus leaves can be used to make lotus leaf rice, lotus seeds are ripe in July is also the sweetest time, and the lotus root slices are the most fragrant and refreshing when they are dug out in August.

Ge Luo, Chen Zheng and Wallace took advantage of their leisure time to dig out all the lotus roots in the pond, although the pond was not big and there were not many lotus roots, but it also took a few people an afternoon's effort.

And when digging lotus roots, I also put away the water chestnuts that grew by the way, at this time, whether it is fried lotus root slices or mixed lotus root strips, it is very suitable, not to mention that it is delicious to clear heat and reduce fire, Liu Xiuxiu plans to use these lotus roots in the pool first, and try to make a meat fried lotus root slices.

If it is done well, the response is also good, then the pond grows a little, it is far from enough to sell, Liu Xiuxiu thought that the response is very good, so he took a few people to dig lotus root in the pond in the village, it just so happens that the pond over there is bigger than the small pond in the small yard at home, and when the time comes, call a few acquaintances in the village to come and help, invite them to have a meal, and pay a salary, which is not a particularly big deal.

Stir-fried lotus root slices are still pork, in this place everyone still likes to eat pork, there is no Han Dynasty Yi pork for inferior customs, on the contrary, like fried pork skin, lard and the like are best-sellers, every household generally has the conditions to raise one or two little piglets, even if they don't eat, the New Year's holiday is sold, and it is good to come back with some food.

Liu Xiuxiu prepared the ingredients and began to do it, lotus root slices sandwiched meat, to be honest, if this dish is not very good, it will be bland and tasteless, lotus root slices are crispy and raw at this time, it is extremely difficult to taste, if the salt and pepper are put too much, it will cover up the fragrance of the lotus root slices, and if you put less of it, it will make the lotus root slices have no taste at all, Liu Xiuxiu's approach is to wash the meat and a series of side dishes first, chop them into a bowl, add a little salt monosodium glutamate sesame oil, etc., and then chop them into meat filling after they are done.

This step is also a very critical step, how much seasoning to put in, how much meat and side dishes to add, etc., these amounts are very important, the ratio of meat and carrots and cabbage and other vegetables is best two to one, enough meat to be fried, if the meat and coriander are less, it will be too greasy and can not float out of that fragrance, how much seasoning to put is completely dependent on the personal taste of how to make dishes, and there is no accurate number, you can only rely on your own exploration.

Liu Xiuxiu followed the public's taste, estimated the amount and put it down first.

After the meat filling is done, put it aside for later use, and the next steps are much simpler, first remove the two ends of the lotus root, then remove the skin, and then cut it into thin slices, but add a short piece to make a lotus root clip between the two fragments, so that the filling can be sandwiched into the lotus root.

This step is not to take it, it is to take a little effort, even can not be too thin or too thick, if it is too thin, the meat filling is sandwiched into the pot and fried and easy to break, if it is too thick, it will not be able to fry that taste, Liu Xiuxiu's knife skills are not very good, so it has been cut slowly, and it is inevitably a little time-consuming and laborious.

Ge Luo looked at the little girl cutting so difficult, so he reached out and took the knife, according to Liu Xiuxiu's previous appearance, he also cut a lotus root neatly and neatly, and the thickness was very uniform, Liu Xiuxiu only felt amazed when he saw it.

It's true that he was hunting in the mountains, and he actually practiced so well in knife work, how long would it take for him to practice like this!

Liu Xiuxiu had some envy in her heart and at the same time silently cheered herself up, it doesn't matter, it's okay to accumulate things like knife skills slowly in the future, anyway, if you have a bad cut, Glo will always be by her side.

After the lotus root clip is ready, Liu Xiuxiu cut a thin slice with bamboo, use this thin slice to take an appropriate amount of meat and put it in the lotus root clip, in order to avoid the meat filling from being exposed, and use a toothpick to insert it into the lotus root clip and let it be sealed.

This step is not difficult to do, and it is even much easier than the previous one, Ge Luo also sat down and worked with Liu Xiuxiu, two people are always faster than one person.

After all the lotus root clips are done, Liu Xiuxiu plans to steam part of the lotus root, part of the stir-fry, to see which taste better, first take half of it and put it in the pot, steam it through the water, and put the other half in the pot with some oil, fry and heat into the green onion ginger, star anise and other seasonings, and then pour in some soybean sauce and soy sauce to adjust the color after stir-frying, and then throw the lotus root clip in and stir-fry, sprinkle a little green onion before coming out of the pot, and it is done.

The steamed lotus root clip can replenish qi and blood, although the lotus root is a little cool, but it can achieve the function of clearing heat and reducing fire in summer, and it is also very good for people who have problems with insufficient qi and blood, but Liu Xiuxiu is still in the experimental stage, and does not plan to come out with new dishes so quickly, just a few new dishes, and many people have not tried it, and then a few new dishes, it is inevitable that they are too anxious.

There is also water chestnut dug out of the pond, if you eat it directly, there are some prickly people outside, Liu Xiuxiu first took a small pair of scissors, cut off the thorns at both ends of the water chestnut, soaked it in salted water, and then boiled it directly in the pot, and the two of them were very happy to eat one by one in the kitchen.

And water chestnut can be stored for a long time, take it slowly, and it is not a big problem to eat it in winter.

Liu Xiuxiu brought out a few new dishes that she was used to, and let the big guys in the store taste them to see which one was better, and everyone had their own tastes.

Yang Menglian is older, but she still prefers to eat light things.
