After traveling to ancient times, I became a superb shrew

Chapter 257 Business Opportunity [Book friend AChu's tip plus more]

Yang Pei bent down to touch the water according to the method of taking care of Qing.

In midsummer, even at night, the water that has been exposed to the sun for a day is still warm.

Yang Pei fumbled around in the water with both hands. Because he was inexperienced, it took him a long time to finally touch a long and thin object, and then gently pulled it out.

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

"Yes, yes, this is it!"

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

This is the newly born lotus root belt, very tender, sweet, very crisp, and can be eaten raw.

These things are only so big when they grow up. If they are left alone, they will swell and grow into lotus roots in autumn and winter. Of course, lotus roots are delicious, but the tips of the roots also have a special flavor.

Seeing Gu Qing eating with satisfaction, Yang Pei worked harder.

After gaining experience, in a short while, he pulled out a dozen of them, washed them and put them on the shore. They were as white and tender as fingers, very eye-catching.

"Pick another twenty or so." Gu Qing has already had more than a dozen recipes in his mind, "Tomorrow, let's make a hot and sour large intestine with lotus root."

The most famous method of lotus root is stir-fried and hot and sour, both of which are delicious, but she wants to eat something with a strong taste.

Yu An was not to be outdone, they all grew up in the countryside, even though Yu An used to be a scholar, catching frogs was an easy task for him.

Frogs at night stand motionless under strong light and are easy to catch.

With the help of the light from the torch, Yu An led the servants to catch a dozen big and fat frogs with bare hands.

"Princess, do you still want to arrest?"

Gu Qing stretched her neck and glanced at the frog wrapped in the long gown by the two of them. This frog had never been caught before. It was quite big, and one of them was almost as big as her fist.

"Enough, enough, catch so many today, and tomorrow I will make delicious food for you!"

When she returned with thirty or forty lotus roots and a bunch of frogs, the people in the yard gathered around to watch, all of them very curious.

"Go back to sleep, and you'll know if it's delicious when it's ready tomorrow." Gu Qing said with a smile: "Xia Zhu, put those frogs in the water tank so they won't run away after dawn."

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

In the kitchen at home, there is a mother Liu who has a lot of practical experience.

Everyone is full of anticipation for 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 struggled a few times before getting up from the soft bed.

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

"Elder Sister!" Gu Nuo apologized with a flattering smile, "Last night you said you would make us some delicious food today, I was hungry all night..."

Gu Qing looked at him: "During the time I was away, did they treat you harshly?"

Gu Nuo shook his head: "I've never been treated harshly."

"Then why are you here so anxious and pale? Can't you let me sleep longer?"

"Elder Sister! You are all up, everyone is waiting for you, come out and show it, Mother Liu has finished sharpening her knife!"

"Where did you learn such a mess of words?" Gu Qing changed her clothes and went to the kitchen.

Here in the kitchen, all the family members gathered around, hoping that Gu Qing would come over soon.

"Chunhua Dongmei, kill all the frogs first, and peel off their skins. I'll demonstrate and you can do the rest!"

The taste of the frog is unique. In the previous life, Gu Qing only ate it when she was a child. Later, too many people ate the frog, so she forcibly ate the frog as a protected animal.

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

"Xia Zhu, go buy a large intestine and clean it up."

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

The peppers planted before have grown into a large piece, all of them are bright red, Gu Qing picked three or four at random and chopped them up, and then prepared shallots and garlic.

Put oil in the pot, pour in the seasoning and sauté until fragrant, put the large intestine in, stir-fry, add wine to remove the fishy smell, then pour the lotus root into the hot pot, stir-fry for a while, then add vinegar, put more It's delicious...

The door of the kitchen was full of people, Gu Nuo swallowed his saliva. It had been a long time since the elder sister instructed Mammy Liu to make delicious food. The lotus root tip this time must be super delicious. He could already smell the aroma...

The hot and sour large intestine and lotus root are out of the pan.

Snow-white lotus root belt, dotted with red and green peppers, and served with large intestine, the hot and sour smell spreads, making people appetite.

The next step is to instruct Madam Liu to make three kinds of frogs. Except for the charcoal-grilled ones, the rest are chopped into pieces.

The next steps are relatively simple. First, fry the side dishes in hot oil until fragrant, then pour the frog meat into it and add wine to remove the fishy smell. After a little simmering, the dried frog can be out of the pot.

The aroma in the kitchen is overflowing, and everyone's mouth is watering.

The final charcoal-grilled frog is also roasted.

Gu Qing took out a few plates, and took out half of each dish: "Nonuo, you send it to grandpa and grandma to try."

After everyone had a good life, she hadn't asked Gu Nuo to deliver food to the old house for a long time. After meat is no longer a rare delicacy, she can eat something new for a change.

Gu Nuo ran very fast and came back in an instant.

The lotus root strips on the table are very popular, hot and sour, crispy, sweet and delicious, very appetizing.

"Sister, this dish is too delicious!" Gu Nuo even poured the hot and sour soup into his own bowl, and said, "Can our restaurant also promote this dish, it must be very popular .”

Gu Qing shook her head: "The restaurant has too many customers, I'm afraid there won't be enough lotus roots."

Excessive pumping of lotus root tips will affect the production of lotus roots, and the loss outweighs the gain. However, the lotus tips produced by the hundred-acre lotus pond can’t be eaten up just by the family. big.

Perhaps the supply can be limited, and this matter is left to Yu An to arrange.

"Sister, I think this frog meat is more delicious than the tip of lotus root." Gu Yu took a sip of each flavor, and finally stopped at the charcoal-grilled frog.

"Sister, this charcoal-grilled one is the most delicious! It's charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and it's delicious. You can't stop after taking a bite!"

Everyone was a bit resistant to the ugly frog and didn't dare to eat it, but seeing that Gu Yu strongly recommended it, and Gu Qing personally ordered it to make it, they all stretched out their chopsticks to pick it up.

The originally resisted heart, at the moment when the frog meat was delivered to the mouth, everyone started to fight for it, you got a piece, I got a piece, several big plates were quickly eaten up, and even the leftover soup was used Bibimbap.

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

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