Chapter 229: Lotus Leaf Porridge
Lotus leaf porridge
The method of stir-frying lotus root and stir-frying pumpkin is almost the same, the fire should not be too big, the oil should not be too little, and it is best to fry it in vegetable oil. The lotus root shuttle is very crisp and tender, the taste is slightly sweet, but there is no fragrance, Lu Yu fried a plate of lotus root shuttle, and the faint aroma did not attract Yan Xiding and Lan Shaofang.
Lu Yu stir-fried a bean, a pot of green vegetables, and cooked a bowl of loofah lean meat soup. These dishes look very light, the oil and water are not very heavy, which is very in line with Lu Yu's current taste.
If it meets Lu Yu's taste, it doesn't fit Yan Xiding's taste, the dish was served, he ate a few bites, and then frowned and said, "Brother Da Yu, why is your skill getting worse and worse?" Today's dish was not delicious at all. ”
Lu Yu glanced at Yan Xiding and said, "What's wrong?" Isn't it that you don't like big fish and big meat? ”
"yes, rice without meat doesn't taste good."
Yan Xi'an couldn't stand it anymore, and scolded: "Isn't there meat?" If you don't eat and pull down, why don't you do it yourself. ”
Lan Shaofang echoed on the side and said, "That is, Xiding is not obedient at all, not well-behaved at all. ”
Yan Xiding smiled: "It's not that I don't eat it, isn't it delicious to eat?" "The fried lotus root is really good, very crispy but chewy, and the green pepper is fragrant and spicy after being fried in oil. And the white lotus root, the green pepper, the green and white are very distinct, and it looks good.
Lu Yu wouldn't be hungry, but today's light and delicious dishes made him can't help but move his chopsticks a few more times.
Yan Xi'an and Lan Shaofang were also quite satisfied with today's dishes, Lan Shaofang ate with a mouth full of oil, and said that it was delicious.
Yan Xiding hurriedly asked: "Shake Fang, is it delicious lotus root shuttle?" I picked it. ”
"I know you picked it, but you don't like it." After staying in the "world" for a long time, Lan Shaofang gradually became able to speak.
"I like it, who says I don't like it?" Yan Xiding clamped the chopsticks in his hand and stuffed several lotus root shuttles into his mouth in one go.
"Fool."
In Yangshan Village, May will not be very busy, and Lu Yu has a little more things to do, but he doesn't have to go out early and return late. And Lu Yu now goes into the mountains to hunt less, unless there is no meat at home, otherwise he is not willing to go into the mountains.
It's good to be vegetarian.
On May 15, the weather was already a little hot, Lu Yu went out to herd sheep in the morning, and when he came back, Yan Xi'an and the three of them were still asleep and didn't get up.
The bamboo house will be a little cold in winter, but it will be very cool in summer, so Lu Yu went to call Yan Xiding first, he slept in the house where the grain was placed, and there was a window in the house, but it was not airy.
"Xiding, aren't you afraid of the heat?" Yan Xiding had already woken up, but he was lying on the bed and didn't want to get up.
"It's not hot, it's very comfortable." Yan Xiding's eyes rolled, not knowing what he was thinking.
Lu Yu was a little puzzled, but after thinking about it, he understood again, Yan Xiding has been practicing kitchen knife mantras for a few months, although his cultivation is still shallow, but his body and bones are definitely much better than before, at least he is not afraid of cold and heat. Lu Yu said: "Get up and eat, what do you want to eat today?"
”
"What do you want to eat?" Speaking of eating, Yan Xi'an rolled over, got up from the bed, and said, "I haven't smelled the smell of the food yet, you haven't cooked yet." ”
"You're about to turn into a pig." Lu Yu smiled and said, "Xiding, your father hasn't been at my house recently, have you read a book?" ”
"I didn't see it, I didn't want to see it." Hearing Lu Yuti reading, Yan Xi collapsed and lay on the bed again.
Lu Yu didn't call Yan Xiding anymore, turned around and went out the door, and went to the kitchen to cook. Lu Yu can skip eating by himself, but Yan Xi is sure that the three of them have to eat, they live in their own house, so they can't even eat without food.
In the morning, it was porridge that was cooked, and when the porridge was about to boil, Lu Yu had an idea, went to the backyard and picked two slightly tender lotus leaves, washed them, and threw them into the rice pot.
Lotus leaves can be steamed and eaten, and Lu Yu thinks that it can be used to cook porridge.
You don't need to do anything special to eat porridge, so Lu Yu patted two cucumbers, added fine salt and minced garlic, and mixed them slightly. When mixing cucumbers, Lu Yu thought that he had planned to go to the city to buy some spices and come back, but he forgot about it last time.
After cooking, Lu Yu went to ask Yan Xi'an to get up and eat.
Yan Xi'an and Lan Shaofang also woke up a long time ago, these two girls slept in one room each at night, but during the day, the two of them shrank together in the room where Yan Xi'an lived and whispered.
Lu Yu was inconvenient to enter the house, so he shouted at the door and told the two of them to get up and eat.
Yan Xi'an was in the house and shouted, "Uncle, are you cooking?" Come in. ”
Lan Shaofang also shouted: "Brother Da Yu, come in, we are all wearing clothes." ”
"Come out to eat, I cooked lotus leaf porridge." The girls are in their own "boudoir", of course it is impossible for Lu Yu to go in.
"Porridge boiled with lotus leaves?" "Foodie No. 2" Lan Shaofang heard the "lotus leaf porridge", opened the door with a bang, poked her head and asked Lu Yu: "Brother Da Yu, is the lotus leaf porridge delicious?" ”
"It's delicious, go eat with Xi'an." Lu Yu went to shout Yan Xiding again.
The four of them sat and drank porridge, Yan Xiding took the first sip, and then frowned, put down the bowl, and stopped talking.
Lu Yu looked at Yan Xiding and asked, "What's wrong?" Is it hard to drink? He took a sip of his own bowl.
"Brother Da Yu, it's a little bitter." Lan Shaofang also took a sip, then stuck out her tongue and shook her head.
"It's good, it's a bit bitter." Lu Yu felt that the taste was not bad, the gruel slightly had the bitterness of lotus leaves, but there was also a unique fragrance of lotus leaves, and he thought it tasted good.
Yan Xi'an also said: "It's delicious, my mother said that it's good to drink bitter things to cool off." She saw that Lan Shaofang didn't like it, and said, "Isn't there sugar at home, Xiding you go and bring the sugar over and mix it with it." ”
Yan Xiding's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately took the candy.
After breakfast, Yan Xiding and Lan Shaofang fell in love with lotus leaf porridge and sugar. The fragrance is sweet and sweet, with a slightly bitter fragrance.
After eating, as usual, Yan Xiding cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and Lu Yu just drank water and returned to the house when he heard a burst of firecrackers from the village. Lu Yu and the four of them were very surprised, this is not more than a New Year's Day, and suddenly the cannon was fired, could it be that another old man in the village has passed away? I don't know who it is this time.
Lu Yu didn't plan to go out to take a look, because Yan Xi would definitely go to see it, and when he came back, he would ask him what happened.
But at this time, Lu Mingde's son Xiaohai hurriedly ran over, and as soon as he entered the house, he said to Lu Yu: "Brother Da Yu, that... That Lord Liang is here. ”
"Is Liang guarded?" Lu Yu was indeed a little surprised, and said: "It's not the first time that Liang Shoubei has come, so he will come, why do you have to fire artillery." ”
"It's not Liang Shoubei, it's Lord Liang." Xiao Hai gasped and said, "It's Lord Liang from the county seat." ”
"Oh, it's Liang County." Hearing that the person who came was Liang County's order instead of Liang Garrison, Lu Yu didn't feel so surprised, the county order was a "big official", and whenever they went to the township in the town, there would be local officials and people to greet them.
Xiao Hai seemed a little excited, and he said, "Brother Da Yu, Lord Liang is here, don't you want to take a look?" ”
"If you don't go, what's there to see." Lu Yu really thinks it's nothing to look at, isn't the county order also a human, is it different from ordinary people? To see a stranger, it is better to have a vegetable garden at home.
"But that's the Liang County Order, it's a special person who came to our village." Xiao Hai couldn't believe it, Lu Yu didn't want to see such a big official as the "County Commander".
Yan Xiding glanced at Xiao Hai, looked at him with a rare and strange expression, and said casually: "What is it to see the county order, killing the county order is not a matter for Brother Da Yu." ”
Lu Yu: "..."
Xiao Hai looked a little disappointed, he found a chair and sat down, and said, "Brother Da Yu, I see that the county magistrate will come to your house in a while."
。 ”
Lu Yu also felt that the county order might come, but he still said lightly: "What are you doing at my house, I still have to go out to work." ”
Xiao Hai said: "Brother Da Yu, don't go out, the county magistrate finally came here." ”
"Hey, hey." Lu Yu suddenly asked Xiao Hai, "Have you eaten?" I cooked lotus leaf porridge in the morning, and it was delicious mixed with sugar. ”
"No, no, no." Xiao Hai couldn't help muttering in his heart: "Brother Da Yu, when is it, he is still asking me to eat porridge." ”
Although Lu Yu looked careless and indifferent on the surface, he still felt in his heart that if Liang Xianling really wanted to come, he couldn't be too casual, at least the house had to be cleaned up a little. So he asked Xiaohai to help Yan Xiding together, sweep the floor and wipe the table, and clean the house.
After the house was cleaned up, Lu Yu went to the backyard to fiddle with the vegetable garden. There were too many vegetables in the yard, so Lu Yu picked a lot of beans and cucumbers in a basket, carried them into the house, and said to Xiaohai: "You go back in a while, bring these vegetables back." ”
"Okay, I also have vegetables at home, but it's not as good as Brother Da Yu's food." Xiao Hai took the basket and said, "Brother Da Yu, why don't you get some more vegetables and bring them back to the county magistrate." ”
"Okay, if he comes, I'll pick some and give them to him." Lu Yu felt that Liang County would definitely not take anything back after a trip. This is not to say that the things that the county order forces the people to give will be given voluntarily, not to mention that the food is not worth much.
Lu Yu went to the backyard to work again, Yanxi Anlan Shaofang was helping, and Yanxi Dingze and Xiaohai were talking.
After a while, Lu Yu heard a group of people coming to his house lively. So he put down his hoe and said to Yan Xi'an, "The people are here, do you two want to meet together?" ”
"No, what is there to look at?" Yan Xi'an didn't care if the person who came was a county magistrate or some other big official, and Lan Shaofang didn't understand the county at all
What kind of "thing" is Ling?
Lu Yu went to the pool to wash his hands, and when he returned to the hall, the group of people arrived outside the door.
The two people at the head, one is the new garrison Liang Gen of Dunlin Town, and the other is a middle-aged man who is slightly older and looks like Liang Gen, who should be the new county magistrate of Jinhua City.
