Chapter 248: Salty and Sweet Controversy!

In less than a day, all four ponds were covered with bamboo, and the springs were filled with water.

Qi Lele looked at the dozen or so extra bamboos next to him, his eyes turned, and he suddenly thought of an idea.

"I think everyone has been working hard for the past two days, why don't you get them a delicious taste tonight?"

Xie Zi'an looked at her: "There are so many people, you are not tired of preparing food alone?"

"I'm not tired of what I'm going to do today, at least I'm not tired."

Xie Zi'an then asked, "What's delicious?"

"Bamboo rice!"

Xie Zi'an showed a little interest: "Can the bamboo tube still cook?"

Qi Lele smiled, "Of course! Would you like to try it?"

"Aren't you really tired?"

"Not tired! It's very easy to make this bamboo tube rice, I just need to prepare the ingredients and leave the cooking to the others."

Xie Zi'an nodded: "Whatever you want."

The conversation between the two was not loud, but the people present were all martial arts practitioners, deaf and clear-sighted, and those who should have listened and should not have heard it had already been heard.

Compared with the young lady wanting to make food for them personally, what shocked them even more was that the eldest prince actually agreed!

Seeing that Song Mingshan had already cut the remaining bamboo into pieces according to Qi Lele's instructions, each of which was a complete bamboo tube, everyone came back to their senses and came over to help.

Qi Lele picked up a bamboo tube, pointed to one end and said, "Make a small hole in the middle, about the thickness of your thumb, is it okay?"

"Yes!"

Must be able to! If you can't, you have to be able to!

After all the bamboo tubes were processed, Qi Lele shook the inside and cleaned it twice with the mountain spring water not far away, and then beckoned everyone to go back.

The ingredients needed for bamboo rice are relatively simple, and they are available in the small courtyard where they live.

Knowing that the young lady was going to cook for them herself, the other people who did not participate in the bamboo cutting were really frightened.

Can this be eaten? The eldest prince won't do anything to them, right?

What, the eldest prince agreed???

The eldest prince actually agreed!!

The eldest prince still wants to give the young lady a hand?

Is this really edible?

Su Zhengtao looked at everyone coldly as if they had never seen the world, snorted, and turned over on the roof.

What happened to a meal? The young lady can also make soft and sweet snacks!

The bamboo rice is not complicated to prepare, and the rice and glutinous rice are washed and soaked in water respectively.

Take some fresh meat and bacon, cut it into small pieces, and stuff it into a bamboo tube later, and cut some mushrooms and fresh bamboo shoots.

Mix the diced meat, mushrooms and bamboo shoots together, sprinkle with a little salt, soy sauce and lard, mix well and set aside.

In addition to the salty taste, Qi Lele also prepared to make something sweet, took the dates and cut them into pieces, and prepared some sugar.

When everything was ready, Qi Lele picked up the bamboo tube, scooped some rice into it, and put a lot of diced meat and mushrooms and bamboo shoots, then added an appropriate amount of water, and then cut a small piece of the cob with the corn peeled off, and cut the cob to the size of the hole in the bamboo tube, and plugged the hole.

"That's good?"

Qi Lele held the two ends of the bamboo tube with both hands, shook it up and down, and then said, "You can take it and roast it, and you can eat it when it is cooked."

"I see that the bamboo tube seems to be half empty, so it doesn't need to be full?"

Qi Lele smiled: "No, the rice will swell when cooked, you have to leave a little gap, and in addition, you should put a little more water than usual cooking, otherwise it will be too dry."

Xie Zi'an bowed: "I see."

Qi Lele will make two-thirds of the bamboo tube into a salty mouth, and the remaining one-third will make a sweet taste, the sweet taste is to mix the glutinous rice and sugar first, scoop it into the bamboo tube, and then add dates into it, add water, block the small hole, and shake well.

To distinguish them, she also marked the sweet bamboo tubes.

Outside the kitchen, many people crowded into the courtyard, craned their necks to look inside.

"Don't you really need our help?"

Song Mingshan said, "The young lady said no, then don't use it."

"However, there are so many of us, even if we have a bowl per person, what should we do if we are tired of the young lady?"

Song Mingshan glanced at him and pouted at the kitchen: "Then you can go."

"If you don't go, how dare we!"

Before they could discuss the results, they saw Xie Zi'an in the kitchen turn around and said lightly, "Go and make a fire."

Song Mingshan immediately stood up straight, answered, turned around and went outside the courtyard, ready to light a fire.

By the time Qi Lele stuffed those bamboo tubes, Song Mingshan had already built several fires with everyone outside.

Qi Lele taught them to roast the bamboo tube on the rack, and while roasting, turn the bamboo tube to make it evenly heated.

"How long is this going to take?"

It was Jing Yan Jingyue who asked this.

Qi Lele said, "It will take about half an hour."

"When the mouth of the bamboo tube is roasted, bubbles come out and sizzle, and it is almost cooked."

Everyone silently remembered in their hearts and continued to stare at the bamboo tube in front of them.

Taking advantage of this effort, Qi Lele plans to steam a few more drawers of steamed buns, cook two large pots of tofu and fish soup, and eat them with bamboo rice later, which is just right.

This time she wasn't busy alone, Song Mingshan pointed to the two of them, "They are in charge of the spoon on weekdays, let them make the steamed buns."

Qi Lele was so happy that when they had cleaned up the fish, they took over the job and cooked the fish soup.

I don't know how long later, suddenly someone shouted, "I'm bubbling!"

Qi Lele walked over and took a look, and said with a smile, "It's almost over, make the fire a little smaller, and then roast it slowly for a while."

Ding Zhengpeng immediately pulled out two firewoods, and the fire was immediately a lot smaller, so he continued to turn around with the bamboo tube.

After a while, the bamboo tube in front of him escaped the aroma of rice and meat, and he sniffed hard, suddenly feeling a little hungry.

"It should be fine."

Hearing this, Ding Zhengpeng was overjoyed, and he stretched out his hand to take off the bamboo tube, and he didn't even care about it.

Qi Lele took a dagger, first scraped off the blackened skin on the surface of the bamboo tube, and then gently tapped the bamboo tube with the back of the knife.

Knock back and forth, then make a small opening in the mouth of the bamboo tube, and then peel off the bamboo skin by hand, and a bamboo tube rice is displayed in front of everyone.

A fresh fragrance mixed with the aroma of rice and meat instantly escaped, and just by this fragrance, it was clear that the bamboo rice would not be bad, and many people swallowed silently.

"Taste it."

Where did Ding Zhengpeng dare to taste it: "Let's ask the eldest prince and the young lady to taste it first."

Qi Lele looked at Xie Zi'an, Xie Zi'an stretched out his hand, and the meaning was self-evident.

This man really doesn't know how to be polite!

Qi Lele muttered as he brought the bamboo rice to him.

Xie Zi'an scooped half a spoonful and tasted it.

"How?"

"It's soft and delicious, and it's delicious."

Qi Lele suddenly smiled and his eyebrows crooked: "Later, you can taste the sweet one again, it's also delicious."

"Okay."

Everyone lowered their heads, pretending to be a clay figure.

After a while, the bamboo tubes in front of the others also began to bubble one after another.

After a while, the sound of beating the bamboo tube sounded one after another, and then there were bursts of satisfied sighs.

"This bamboo rice is so delicious!"

"With the smell of bamboo, rice, and meat, this is the best meal I've ever had!"

"That's because you didn't eat this sweetness, my sweetness is called a taste!"

"That's it! It's soft and sweet, it's really delicious!"

"It's so sweet! It's so salty!"

"I'm tired of it! Look at your oily eyes

I'm tired of it!"

Qi Lele: "......"

I never expected that I couldn't escape the salty and sweet controversy here!
