Chapter 302: Yu Xiaojing is here

Perhaps feeling Jiang Xinyi's gaze, An Pengfei put down the book in his hand and slowly raised his head. happened to look at Shangjiang Xinyi's troubled and self-blaming eyes.

"Yi Xin? Do you have something to say? An Pengfei asked cautiously, because he felt that her expression was a little weird.

"No, no." Jiang Xinyi hurriedly gathered her heart and concentrated on the new cuisine.

An Pengfei knew that she was panicking, but since she didn't want to say anything, it was useless to "force" her to say, so she had to continue reading honestly. But what was written in the book, he didn't read at all.

There are many ways to make lotus roots, Jiang Xinyi uses her memory to list everything she can do on paper, and it is better to teach it herself. Fortunately, the cooks in the two restaurants are very smart, so they don't need to teach a second time.

"Lotus root pork rib soup, braised duck with lotus root, glutinous rice root with honey sauce? Why, there are so many practices for lotus root? Jiang Xinyi was thinking about what else was missing, An Pengfei stood behind her at some point, and asked in surprise as he read the recipe.

"yes, there are many more, but I can't think of how to do it." Jiang Xinyi turned back to An Pengfei depressedly and said.

"What, you mean, you're going to do what it's written on it?" Although An Pengfei had already seen Jiang Xinyi's cooking skills, he still asked a little unbelieving in the face of the names of the dishes densely listed on the paper.

Jiang Xinyi looked at the menu in her hand, then at An Pengfei, nodded and said; "Yes, I'll do it, if you don't believe me, ask someone to dig up a few roots, and I'll make them for you tonight."

"I believe it, but I think it's a bit exaggerated, and there are only a few of the ones I've eaten. You don't want lotus root, lotus silk, and lotus root slices, which are also three things, right? An Pengfei said and picked up the piece of paper, looked at it and said.

"Cut, second brother, you underestimate me too much, I'm more greedy, so my favorite is food, how convenient it is to cook it yourself, you can do whatever you want." Jiang Xinyi said proudly.

"What's this? Sweet and sour rouge lotus? Just looking at the name, you have the desire to eat. An Pengfei saw the name of a dish on the menu and said.

"Second brother, do you want to eat this?" Jiang Xinyi asked.

"Well, that's what you can do at night." An Pengfei discussed with Jiang Xinyi.

"If we do this, we have to dig the lotus root now, otherwise we won't have anything to eat at night." Jiang Xinyi said.

"Then I'll dig out of the city now." An Pengfei said a little anxiously.

"No, don't we have a few trees in our own garden to do this, just dig them up and eat them first." Jiang Xinyi said with a smile.

"Let's go, dig the lotus root." The two said they would dig and run together to the lotus pond in the garden. I didn't think about getting someone to help.

An Pengfei took off his shoes, pulled up his trouser legs, and said to Jiang Xinyi; "Come along?"

"No, there are leeches." Jiang Xinyi's head shook like a rattle.

An Pengfei remembered what happened by the lotus pond last time, couldn't help laughing, rolled up his trouser legs and sleeves, slowly went into the water, walked to the edge of the farthest few dead lotus leaves, and started to dig.

Jiang Xinyi wanted to remind him and tell him to step on the lotus root, but when she thought that he was not very good at it, if she didn't step on it well, she would break the lotus root, so it would not be good for the muddy water to enter the lotus root, so she thought about it and forgot it.

"Alas, second brother, don't dig this one, dig that one over there." Jiang Xinyi suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said to the people in the water.

"Does it make a difference?" An Pengfei stood up straight, looked at the lotus leaves in front of him, and then looked at the cluster of lotus leaves that Jiang Xinyi pointed to and asked puzzledly.

"Of course it's different, the varieties are different, and the taste is different. There is a kind of lotus root, its rhizome is relatively fat, the skin is white, the flesh is crisp and tender, the taste is a little sweet, the yield is high, and there are not many lotus seeds; Another is the lotus seed, the lotus is smaller, the flesh is slightly gray "color", the quality is poor, but the fruit is more, the main harvest lotus seeds. You're digging the unpalatable kind right now. Jiang Xinyi stood on the shore with her hands behind her back and explained to him.

"How do you know that it doesn't all look the same now?" An Pengfei looked at the dry lotus leaves on both sides and didn't think there was any difference, and asked puzzledly.

"You know this, think about it, the last time you picked a lotus pod for me." Jiang Xinyi said to An Pengfei with a smile.

An Pengfei tilted his head and thought, yes, I remember that at that time, when I came with her to pick the lotus pod, there were several on this plant, and the lotus seeds dug out of the lotus pod picked on this plant were very large. And the one Jiang Xinyi was referring to was different, the lotus seeds on the lotus pod were very small.

An Pengfei figured it out, turned around and walked to the cluster of ruffles in Jiang Xinyi's fingers, and reached out to dig into the water. It didn't take much effort to dig up a fat lotus root, he roughly cleaned it in the water, and handed it to Jiang Xinyi to ask; "Is that enough?"

"It's not enough, dig a few more, make it like this, no one else can eat it." Jiang Xinyi took the lotus root he handed over and said.

+ Passion

"How much are you going to do?" An Pengfei stood in the water and asked.

"Yes, make more and let everyone in the house taste it, see how many people like to eat, and then decide whether it is suitable to take it to the restaurant to make money." Jiang Xinyi said to An Pengfei as a matter of course.

"So, I thought you were making it for me alone." An Pengfei muttered quietly, not realizing that he had become very childish now.

"Second brother, what are you talking about?" Jiang Xinyi didn't hear clearly, so she saw his mouth moving and asked curiously.

"It's nothing, I'll just say dig more, do you want to see lotus flowers next summer?" An Pengfei hurriedly made it up.

"It's okay, you can't dig it, it's a big deal to dig some outside the city next spring and plant it." Jiang Xinyi said without worrying at all.

An Pengfei reluctantly dug a few more, cleaned them, and sent them to the shore. By this time, his body was covered in mud.

"I'll take it, I'll just wash it with water later." An Pengfei squatted down and held several lotus roots on the ground in his arms and said to Jiang Xinyi.

Jiang Xinyi didn't earn with him, and walked to the big kitchen with his shoes. When passing by the rockery, Jiang Xinyi ran over and plucked a few red amaranths.

This one was originally going to be red cabbage, but she hadn't seen that dish before, so she had to replace it with amaranth.

These amaranth plants were discovered by accident, and when they were found, Master He had already pulled them out almost, saying that they were grass! Jiang Xinyi plans to wait for the winter to get some seeds and plant them in large quantities next year.

"Yi Xin, what are you doing pulling that grass?" An Pengfei asked.

"You'll find out later." Jiang Xinyi pretended to be mysterious.

"If you're going to eat it, I'll check if it's poisonous." An Pengfei kindly reminded.

"No, I've already tasted it, it's fine." Jiang Xinyi said with a smile.

"What? When did you taste it? How do I not know, why are you so unreassuring? An Pengfei stopped in front of Jiang Xinyi a little angrily and asked.

Jiang Xinyi looked at An Pengfei's nervous appearance and wanted to laugh, but couldn't. He cares so much about himself, but what about himself? What can be given to him?

"Second brother, this is called amaranth, it can be eaten, I used to like to eat it very much, so I know it's not poisonous." Jiang Xinyi explained softly.

An Pengfei looked at the grass in Jiang Xinyi's hand, which is the 'vegetable' she said, in her memory, she is almost thirty years old, she has traveled from south to north, she has entered high-end restaurants, and she has eaten small dishes from farms, but this thing is the first time I heard that it can be eaten?

However, it's useless to doubt, in her eyes, insects can be eaten, and it's not unusual that this grass can be eaten, right? An Pengfei comforted himself.

When the two of them arrived at the kitchen in the house, Jiang Xinyi said to An Pengfei, who put down the lotus root; "Okay, now it's none of your business, go change your clothes."

"No, I want to watch you cook, you are not allowed to do it before I come, do you?" An Pengfei discussed with Jiang Xinyi.

"Got it, let's go." Jiang Xinyi said helplessly.

An Pengfei saw that she agreed, so he ran outside quickly, no way, he just wanted to see her cooking.

Rong'er and Wei'er saw that Jiang Xinyi went to the kitchen to cook, and they both put down the female red in their hands to help, Jiang Xinyi called someone to go to the lotus pond outside the city to dig more lotus roots, saying that they wanted to eat at night.

"Childe, isn't this there, why is it not enough?" Master Wang commanded the two helpers to pack up the ingredients they ate at night, and turned around to ask.

"I'll add food to you tonight, Master Wang, you don't care about me." Jiang Xinyi said with a smile.

"Hehe, aren't we going to have another good mouth tonight? However, I have long wanted to ask Childe, where did you learn your cooking skills? Wang Shifu asked with a smile.

"Well, I'm more gluttonous, so I'll study it when it's okay." Jiang Xinyi couldn't tell the original, she had to give herself all the credit, anyway, now her skin is getting thicker and thicker.

Rong'er and Wei'er helped Jiang Xinyi clean the lotus root and the handful of amaranth and put them aside, and Jiang Xinyi asked them to find glutinous rice and soak some of it.

At this time, An Pengfei, who had changed his clothes, came back. Xiaoping and a few of them also came back, and they all stood in the kitchen, wanting to see Jiang Xinyi cooking.

Xiaoping handed Jiang Xinyi an apron and helped her tie it.

Jiang Xinyi skillfully peeled the washed lotus root, sliced it and soaked it in clean water, and soaked the amaranth in salt water for a while. Then take them out and chop them and put them in a copper basin, mash them with the end of a rolling pin, and put some cooled boiling water in them. Then he asked Xiaoping and Xiaohui to pull apart a piece of cotton cloth and stop it on another basin.

Jiang Xinyi picked up the things in the copper basin and filtered the cloth to extract the juice.

"Wow, this water is purple." Xiaoping, who is the closest to it, said.

An Pengfei stepped forward to see if there was no squeak.

Jiang Xinyi went to the seasoning kitchen to find vinegar and poured it into the purple "color" and "liquid" body in the copper basin.

"How did you turn pink?" An Pengfei looked at the changes in the basin and asked in surprise. The people around who watched the excitement also took turns to walk in and take a look, and everyone felt incredible.

Jiang Xinyi smiled without saying a word, found another honey, poured some into it, and stirred it with a large bamboo wooden spoon.

Finally, Jiang Xinyi sandwiched the cut lotus root slices one by one, and soaked them into the pink "colored" "liquid" body in the basin one by one. "Okay, Xiaoping, find a clean cloth and cover it, and you can eat it at night, but you have to keep this method secret. It can't be known to outsiders. Otherwise, everyone will do it, and our restaurant will have no money to make. Jiang Xinyi said to everyone with a smile.

"Childe, don't worry, we won't say it." Xiaoping and the others said in unison.

"Got it, otherwise how could I let you see it, don't hide it." Jiang Xinyi saw that her words scared them all, and hurriedly teased.

Jiang Xinyi looked at the time, it was too early to cook the evening dishes, so she took off her apron and walked out of the kitchen with An Pengfei.

At this time, I saw someone leading a woman over, and the woman was Yu Xiaojing, who was brought back by Prince Yu.

What is she doing here? Jiang Xinyi couldn't guess.
