Chapter 143 Artemisia Vegetable Rice

"Pfft, the one upstairs is so funny, of course it's not a plant."

"Qinghao, also known as Artemisia annua, grows in flakes and is short in size. It consists of three parts: main stem, petiole, and leaves. There are no side branches. The front of the leaves is green, and the back is slightly white with fluff. The main stem is divided into green, brown and red. Two colors. Artemisia annua has a fresh aroma and is mainly used to make Qingtuan and Jianbaba.”

"As for wormwood, they are two different plants. Wormwood grows taller than Artemisia annua. The main stem is straight and polygonal and white. It is generally used for fumigation and sterilization. It has a strong smell and its tender tips can be used to make green balls."

"I'm going, it means that the young leaves of wormwood can be eaten, but the smell is relatively strong?"

"It looks like this Artemisia annua is relatively tender."

The audience in the live broadcast room talked one after another.

"The wormwood rice made from Artemisia annua is very delicious, but that's all from my childhood."

"When we have time today, let's pick some back, cook a pot of Artemisia Vegetable Rice, and have a taste."

Lin Bei squatted down and began to pick the young shoots of Artemisia annua.

The shoots of Artemisia annua are very tender, and there are many drops of water on the emerald green leaves.

With a gentle pinch of his hand, Lin Bei picked off the tender bud.

After picking for about ten minutes, Lin Bei had already picked a lot of Artemisia annua.

"Okay, let's go back today. It's getting late, and I'm afraid that Ma Feng and Xiao Yanyao will be too busy."

Lin Bei carried the plastic bag and walked along the way he came.
Half an hour later, Lin Bei returned to the yard.

There was no one in the front yard, only Siyue, the little white wolf, was lying on the concrete floor and sleeping with his eyes squinted.

Ma Feng was currently in the backyard, administering medicine to the Sichuan golden monkey, while Xiao Yanyao was taking care of the female giant panda and her cubs.

"Look at how busy they both are."

"At noon, make a meal of wormwood and fried Chinese toon for them."

"Actually, Artemisia annua rice, also called Shefan in some places, is cooked with cooked Artemisia annua and glutinous rice."

While explaining to the audience in the live broadcast room, Lin Bei came to the kitchen, ready to start cleaning Artemisia annua and Chinese toon.

But before that, Lin Bei found some glutinous rice from the warehouse, and the usual sticky rice, added some water and started soaking.

"Artemisia rice, steamed with glutinous rice and a small part of sticky rice, the taste will be better."

"Everyone, don't forget this step." Lin Bei joked while looking at the camera of the drone.

After soaking the glutinous and sticky rice, Lin Bei began to wash the Chinese toon and annua with a washbasin.

Since Chinese toon grows on trees, it is mainly cleaned once or twice.

However, since Artemisia annua grows on the ground and has fine fluff, it must be washed clean.

"I watched the live broadcast just now, and many people asked me if wormwood can make wormwood rice."

"Actually, wormwood has a bitter taste, whether it's the buds or its leaves."

"Its bitterness doesn't go away when it's blanched in water."

"But this kind of Artemisia annua is different. After they are simply blanched in water, they don't have any bitter taste, and even have a unique fragrance."

As he spoke, Lin Bei lit the stove in the kitchen and boiled a large pot of hot water.

When the hot water in the pot started to boil, Lin Bei poured the cleaned Artemisia annua into the pot and boiled it.

After blanching for 2 minutes, Lin Bei scooped up the Artemisia annua with a colander and poured it into cold water to cool.

"Well, after boiling this with water, the flavor of this Artemisia annua is even stronger."

"Let's wring out the water from the Artemisia annua and put it aside, we can start making Chinese toon buds."

"The glutinous rice used to cook Artemisia Vegetable Rice needs to be soaked for several hours. Let's take advantage of the time now to deal with the Chinese toon buds."

Lin Bei didn't pick many toon sprouts today, so Lin Bei planned to make a bowl of cold salad, and then fried a bowl with egg flour.

Cold toon is relatively simple, simply boil the toon and then season it.

Fried Chinese toon is more complicated. It needs to be battered with egg flour, and then fried.

When the oil pan was [-]% hot, Lin Bei put the toon sprouts covered in batter into the oil pan.

sizzle.
Toon sprouts wrapped in batter and golden yellow are in the oil pan, gradually floating
The strong smell of toon permeates the whole kitchen
"I'll go, brother Lin Bei, what should I cook in the kitchen!"

"What does it smell like? Why does it make me feel dizzy? Brother Lin Bei, what kind of dark cooking are you doing?" Ma Feng and Xiao Yanyao asked curiously as they walked into the kitchen.

"I picked some Chinese toon sprouts in the mountains in the morning, and now I'm going to cook them cold and deep-fried."

"How does it smell?" Lin Bei smiled.

"Toon sprouts? I ate that stuff when I was a child, but I haven't eaten it for more than ten years now."

"This thing costs tens of yuan a tael in the market." Ma Feng said pleasantly.

"Toon? I said why did I feel dizzy from the smell, this thing smells too strong, I can't bear it." Xiao Yanyao hurriedly covered his nose and said after getting closer.

"Hahaha, Lao Xiao, so you don't like Chinese toon? It's so fragrant, you feel dizzy after smelling it?"

"Ma Feng, Station Master Lin, I haven't touched this thing since I was a child, I really can't stand it." Xiao Yanyao waved his hand and rushed out of the kitchen.

"Ma Feng, are you done?" Lin Bei asked while frying toon sprouts.

"Well, the golden monkey, giant panda, and Heizi have all been checked."

"Old Xiao also fed them according to the time you set." Ma Feng nodded.

"Well, yes, you don't need to take care of other animals, mainly the injured golden monkeys and giant pandas, you must take good care of them."

"Since you're fine now, come and get a piece of bacon from the warehouse. After it's cooked, cut it into pieces for me. Let's have Artemisia rice at noon." Lin Bei laughed.

"What? Artemisia rice?"

"What kind of vegetable is wormwood?" Ma Feng asked with some doubts
"Detailed social meal, haven't you heard of Jiang Honghao Caifan?"

"It's glutinous rice cooked with artemisia annua, bacon, and diced tofu." Lin Bei explained.

"With so many things added, can it be delicious?"

"Of course it's delicious. This wormwood rice is a local specialty."

"Okay, then Lao Xiao and I will go to burn the bacon, and come over and cut it later." Ma Feng nodded and said.

It was eleven o'clock in a flash.

Ma Feng and Lin Bei had already eaten up the fried toon sprouts in cold salad.

Only Xiao Yanyao was sitting on the side, looking at the two of them as if they were insane.

"Brother Lin Bei, Ma Feng, you two can actually eat this kind of thing."

"Little brother, I am really convinced."

"Toon sprouts are delicious."

"Hey, if you're not used to it, there's nothing we can do about it." Lin Bei and Ma Feng sighed.

"Brother Lin Bei, is your wormwood rice ready?" Xiao Yanyao asked curiously.

"Well, it should be almost there, I'll go in and have a look."

Lin Bei got up from the chair, walked to the kitchen, and slowly opened the steamer.

With a burst of white steam bursting out, a burst of fragrance of annua and bacon permeated the air.

It is also mixed with the bean flavor of diced tofu.
"I'll go, it smells so good, Brother Lin Bei, can we eat Artemisia rice?"

"It's really fragrant, but I don't know how it tastes." Ma Feng and Xiao Yanyao discussed in the yard.

"Okay, you guys go get a big pot, I'll bring the wormwood rice to the yard."

"Oh, it's soft and glutinous, with the smell and fat of bacon. It's delicious." Lin Bei put a small piece of Artemisia rice with chopsticks into his mouth, and couldn't help sighing.
