Manor Romance

Chapter 196 Opportunity for Cooperation
"Uh, if I pick off the soft vines, will it affect the growth of the pumpkin vines? I still expect them to grow me pumpkins. It's not worth the gain if I eat them like this." Yunli asked puzzled.

"What we are looking for is to pick those plants that grow well and have a lot of branched stems. It is not a good thing for these plants to have too many branched stems. It is beneficial but not harmful." Feng Yisong continued to explain.

The professor deserves to be a professor, so Yunli understood everything, and learned a lot. Although the soil in the depression has been improved, it is not particularly good, but under the effect of the wooden magnetic array, the pumpkin vine The growth of vines is very good, and there are not a few plants with many stems, which provides them with a lot of usable soft vines.

After picking enough pumpkin flowers and soft vines in the pumpkin field, they then went to other places to collect ingredients. Now the manor is a treasure house of ingredients with high quality and many choices. They soon returned to the bamboo building with a full load.

Feng Yisong's first dish was the meatball that Yunli has always been obsessed with. The main ingredient is beef, which is served with shiitake mushrooms, water chestnut and other ingredients. There are many processes. The beef must be pounded into a puree and mixed with various ingredients and seasonings.Although Yunli remembers every step, and knows when to put in what seasoning and how much to put in, the meatballs he made by drawing gourds are not that tasty at all. It seems that this cooking skill cannot be learned by imitation and recipe formula To achieve something, talent and experience are very important.

After the meatballs are shaped, they need to be steamed for about ten minutes. It is best to use a soup base like chicken soup. The taste will be more delicious. However, it is too time-consuming to cook chicken soup, so Feng Yisong plans to use other soup bases replace.

The next thing to do is to get pumpkin soft vines. You need to blanch them in boiling water first. This process must be fast. You can’t let the soft vines be fully cooked, just let the skin and tender stems be separated. Feng Yisong explained the essentials to Yunli while holding the spoon , this is not as much process as meatballs, so as long as Yunli memorizes the steps, he can make and eat it himself in the future.

This time they picked a lot of pumpkin soft vines, Feng Yisong plans to use them to make two dishes, one is spicy stir-fried seasonal vegetables, mixed with green beans, peppers, and potato slices, and then add a little lard to make a dish A very healthy vegetarian dish.The other dish is to add preserved eggs to make a clear soup, and use this clear soup to steam the meatballs. Although it is not as good as chicken soup, it is better than steaming with water.

Yunli and Lu Ci don't usually have the habit of eating preserved eggs, but there are quite a few in the kitchen over there in the office building. If there are any ingredients and seasonings that are usually lacking here, go there to find out the right ones. Yunli doesn't know preserved eggs. He can also make soup, but he doesn’t really like the unique taste of preserved eggs. Feng Yisong saw that he was a little bit resistant, so he patted his chest and assured him that after he ate this preserved egg, pumpkin and vine clear soup, he would be able to overcome his appetite for preserved eggs. resist.

After several main dishes were put into the pot, Feng Yisong immediately fried a few more home-cooked dishes. Yunli was beside him to help wash and cut the dishes. He is not a professor of agriculture, but more like a food stall chef.

At around 11:30, Lu Ci came back with Xiaoya in his arms. Soon after, three members of Shen Hong’s family also came, but Feng Jiaqi was the last to arrive. He was in a good mood. But Xiaoya was very wary of strangers, and followed Lu Ci every step of the way. He tried many methods but failed. .

After everyone arrived, Feng Yisong started to make the last dish. The egg yolk had already been beaten by Yunli, and he put the washed pumpkin flowers into the egg yolk for grazing, so that the golden egg yolk was covered inside and out. Petals, and then evenly sprinkle cornstarch in the oil pan to fry slowly, the oil temperature should be very low, so as not to burn all of a sudden.

The battered pumpkin flowers were put into the pan one by one. Feng Yisong used wooden chopsticks to flip them over in the oil pan. When the pumpkin flowers turned golden brown, he immediately picked up the upper plate. It didn’t take long for the two plates of fried pumpkin flowers to be ready. Well, when the two brought these two dishes to the table, everyone had already spread out other dishes, and they were waiting for the two of them to arrive.

"Eat this deep-fried pumpkin flower first. It has a flavor when it's hot, and it won't be crispy when it's cold." Before he could sit down, Feng Yisong introduced his proud specialty deep-fried squash to everyone. squash blossoms.From the time it came out of the pot, Yunli was enticed by their aroma. He picked them up and ate them regardless of the image. He couldn't stop eating them one by one. He didn't even have time to describe the unique flavor of this deep-fried pumpkin flower.

Everyone moved their chopsticks according to their words, and they all praised it after eating. This fried pumpkin flower is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, crispy and delicious. , it was swept away by everyone in a short while, it is really wonderful as an appetizer before meals.

Xiaoya eats slowly, and the plate is empty before eating a few. Children like this kind of fried food, and it is made of flowers. Thinking of this, her appetite is even stronger, but Lu Ci He didn't dare to let her eat too much fried food, most of what she kept in a bowl was transferred to Yunli by Lu Ci.Xiaoya didn't understand why Lu Ci did this, but she didn't make any complaints. Yunli didn't refuse anyone who came, and she planned to try it herself during dinner.

As Feng Yisong said, after eating preserved egg pumpkin and vine clear soup, Yunli's opinion of preserved eggs has greatly improved. He did not expect that this unique and unacceptable food would have such a rich and attractive taste after being expertly matched. Even Lu Ci drank a few more mouthfuls of soup, not resisting the taste.

Xiaoya's attention was quickly attracted by the steamed beef balls, and she ate it with grinning teeth. The way children eat is always so natural and casual, which makes people laugh and envy. While asking her to eat more vegetables, Shen Hong kept putting meatballs in her bowl, making Xiaoya not know who to listen to for a while.

The employees usually go home for dinner at noon, and only Shen Hong's family and Xu Lin cook in the office building. Xu Lin went to the city hospital for business today. His youngest son Xu Jiajin's condition has stabilized a lot recently, and Huang Yunjuan also Nodding his head, he agreed to let him visit them, and now he would set aside one day every week to visit them, so today only Shen Hong's family came over.

Feng Jiaqi originally wanted to ask Xu Xiangjiao to come with her, but Xu Xiangjiao excused that her food had been cooked at home, and sneaked home when he wasn't paying attention. If Feng Jiaqi wasn't there, Xu Xiangjiao would be willing to come , now that she hears the name Feng Jiaqi, she almost becomes frightened.

This lunch was very sumptuous, and they ate all their bellies until they emptied all the plates. After lunch, everyone dispersed, rested, returned, and Yunli returned to his own little world. , Continue to study various strange objects and abilities.

The first to make progress was the purple green grape. After a period of intermittent exploration, it was found that the reason why the purple green grape no longer bears fruit is probably caused by the weakening of the cold energy in the body to a certain extent.

However, since the infusion of electromagnetic force and the arrival of ice plum blossoms of the same attribute, the cold energy in its body has greatly improved. If it continues to recover, I believe it will once again produce purple and green grapes with a unique taste. Now, Yunli also plans to wait for it to recover more or less, then cut a batch of purple grape seedlings and implement large-scale planting.

In addition, Xiaolongjing's recovery progress is also quite good. Now the power of lightning in its body can be used to assist Yunli's daily practice. It is an indispensable part of the tea garden construction plan, and Yunli has a lot of love for it. With his previous experience in treating Dahongpao tea trees, Yunli believed that Xiaolongjing would be able to glow with new vitality in his own hands.

In the afternoon, Yun Li was still thinking about picking some pumpkin flowers and soft vines while he was thinking about dinner, but Wang Chengyuan's call made him lose all thoughts of eating and drinking.

In this call, Wang Chengyuan brought news that Nanyuan Group recently bid for a piece of land in the development zone in the south of Linshan County, planning to build a business center here. The location is on the southeast edge of Shanhu Town, away from Ban Lushan is very close.

A new border trade zone is about to be opened here. For many big companies, this is a huge cake. Talented people are flocking to grab resources, and Nanyuan Group is no exception.Moreover, the location of the land they bought is quite good. It is the area where the Xingan Road and the high-speed railway line pass. .

In addition, Nanyuan Group is a giant in the business world. Wang Chengyuan took the initiative to invite Yunli to cooperate this time. Logically speaking, Yunli has no reason to refuse, but Yunli has many concerns. It is a good thing to have Nanyuan Group to support him. However, the development direction of Spotted Deer Manor is not a commercial group, and there are many choices that cannot be sloppy.

Generally speaking, cooperation is the trend of the times. Nanyuan Group has a profound background and influence. The human resources and capital are not comparable to Banlu Manor. However, the manor also has its own unique advantages, at least in the surrounding towns. In terms of influence, Spotted Deer Manor does not lose to any opponent, and its potential is also amazing, no one can underestimate it.

Therefore, Yunli can stand on an equal footing with Nanyuan Group to discuss cooperation, instead of relying on Nanyuan Group to take off. Self-independence is very important. How the two sides will cooperate specifically, he has to find time to go to their southwest headquarters After a trip, Yunli is cautiously optimistic about this cooperation.
