Yang Pei bent down and touched the water according to Gu Qing's method.

In the middle of summer, even at night, the water still has residual warmth after a day of drying.

Yang Pei felt in the water with both hands, because he was inexperienced, he finally touched a slender thing for a long time, and then gently pulled it out.

A lotus root belt wrapped in mud, about 30 centimeters long, was taken out of the water.

"Yes, yes, that's it!"

Gu Qing was overjoyed, and hurriedly took it over, washed it in the water, revealing the snow-white lotus root, and she took a bite directly.

This is a freshly born lotus root, which is very tender and sweet, very crisp, and can be eaten raw.

These things are just so big when they just grow, and if they are left unchecked, they will swell into lotus roots in autumn and winter, and the lotus roots are of course delicious, but the tips of the lotus roots also have a unique flavor.

Seeing Gu Qing's satisfied face, Yang Pei worked harder.

After gaining experience, after a while, he pulled out a dozen of them, washed them and put them on the shore, white and tender like fingers, very eye-catching.

"Twenty more." Gu Qing already had more than a dozen recipes in his mind, "Let's make a sour and spicy intestine root tip tomorrow."

Lotus root tip is best known for stir-frying, sour and spicy, both of which are delicious, but she prefers something heavy.

Yu An's side is not to be outdone, they all grew up in the countryside, even if Yu An used to be a scholar, the job of catching frogs is also easy for him.

Frogs at night stand motionless under strong light and are easily caught.

With the help of the light of the torches, Yu An led the little guy to catch a dozen big and fat frogs with his bare hands.

"County Lord, do you still want to arrest?"

Gu Qing stretched her neck and glanced at the frog that the two of them wrapped in a long robe, this frog had never been caught, it was quite big, and one of them was almost the size of her fist.

"Enough, enough, catch so much today, and I'll make you something to eat tomorrow!"

When she returned with thirty or forty lotus roots and a bunch of frogs, the people in the courtyard gathered around to see it, and they were all very curious.

"Let's all go back to bed, and you'll know if it's good tomorrow when it's ready." Gu Qing smiled and said, "Xia Zhu, you put those frogs in the water tank so that they don't run away after dawn."

Gu Qing's cooking skills are not very good, but the theoretical knowledge is a set.

And there is a practical and experienced Mama Liu in the kitchen at home.

Everyone is looking forward to tomorrow's new food.

At dawn the next day, Gu Nuo had already come and knocked on the door.

Gu Qing was sleepy-eyed, and it took several struggles to get up from the soft bed.

"Stinky boy, can't you let me sleep more?"

"Eldest sister!" Gu Nuo flattered and said, "Last night, you said that you would make food for us today, and I was hungry for the night......

Gu Qing looked at him, "During the time I left, they treated you badly?"

Gu Nuo shook his head: "I have never been harsh."

"Then why are you in such a hurry to come here with a white face? Can't you let me sleep more?"

"Eldest sister! You're up left and right, everyone is waiting for you, hurry up and show it, Mama Liu's knife is sharpened!"

"Where did you learn this nonsense?" Gu Qing changed her clothes and went to the kitchen.

….

Here in the kitchen, all the family members came around, expecting Gu Qing to come over quickly.

"Chunhua Dongmei, you kill all the frogs first, peel off the skin, I'll show you again, and you can do the rest!"

The taste of frogs is a must, Gu Qing only ate it when he was a child in the previous life, and later there were too many people who ate it, and he forcibly ate frogs as a protected animal.

Gu Qing was going to make a pickled pepper frog, a charcoal-grilled frog, and a perilla frog.

"Xia Zhu, you go buy a large intestine and come back to clean it."

Gu Qing instructed Mama Liu to wash the tip of the lotus root and cut it diagonally into sections, soak it in a light salt water, and then prepare the ingredients.

Planted before

The peppers have grown out of a large piece, all of them are big red and bright, Gu Qing picked three or four of them and chopped them, and then prepared shallots and garlic.

Put oil in the pot, pour the seasoning and stir-fry the fragrant, put the large intestine in and stir-fry the wine to remove the smell, then pour the lotus root into the hot pot, stir-fry it, and then add vinegar to it, and put a little more to make it delicious......

The door of the stove room was full of people, Gu Nuo swallowed his saliva, the eldest sister hadn't personally instructed Mama Liu to make food for a long time, this time the tip of the lotus root must be super delicious, he already smelled the fragrance......

The tip of the sour and hot intestine is out of the pot.

The snow-white lotus root, dotted with red and green chili peppers, and the large intestine, the sour and spicy smell spreads, making people appetizing.

The next thing is to instruct Mama Liu to make three kinds of frogs, except for the charcoal-grilled ones, the rest are chopped into pieces, and all the frog meat is fried in the pot until it is slightly yellowed and taken out for later use.

The next steps are relatively simple, first fry the side dishes in hot oil until fragrant, then pour the frog meat into it and put wine to remove the fish, simmer for a while, and the dry pot frog can be out of the pot.

The kitchen was full of aromas, and the mouths of the hungry people were watering.

The charcoal-grilled frog at the end was also roasted.

Gu Qing took out a few plates, and each dish came out with a small half plate: "Nuonuo, you send it to Grandpa and Grandma to try it."

After everyone's life is good, she hasn't asked Gu Nuo to send food to the old house for a long time, and after meat is no longer a rare delicacy, she can eat something fresh to change the taste.

Gu Nuo ran fast and came back in an instant.

First of all, the lotus root ribbon on the table is very popular, sour and spicy, crispy, sweet and delicious, very appetizing.

"Eldest sister, this dish is also so delicious!" Gu Nuo even poured the sour and spicy soup into his bowl, and said meaningfully, "Can our restaurant also promote this dish, it must be very popular."

Gu Qing shook his head: "The restaurant has too many customers, and I'm afraid the tip of the lotus root is not enough."

Excessive pumping of the tip of the lotus root, will affect the yield of the lotus root, the gain outweighs the loss, but just for the family to eat, the tip of the lotus root produced by the 100 acres of lotus pond can not be eaten at all, if the tip of the lotus root is not pumped in time, the density is too large, it will also affect the growth of the lotus root.

Maybe it can be supplied in limited quantities, and this matter will be arranged by Yu An.

"Eldest sister, I think this frog meat is even better than the tip of the lotus root." Gu Yu tasted one flavor at a time, and finally stopped at the charcoal-grilled frog.

"Eldest sister, this charcoal-grilled is the best! Burnt on the outside and tender on the inside, it tastes so good that you can't stop after taking a bite!"

Everyone was originally a little resistant to the ugly-looking frog and didn't dare to eat it, but seeing that Gu Yu strongly recommended it, and Gu Qing personally commanded it, they stretched out their chopsticks to clip it.

The original resistant, at the moment when the frog meat was delivered to the mouth, everyone began to scramble, you one, I one, several large plates were quickly eaten clean, and even the remaining soup was used to mix rice.

Yu An and Yang Pei glanced at each other, and they both saw business opportunities in each other's eyes.

Sure enough, no matter what is in the eyes of the county lord, it can turn waste into treasure!
