Chapter 92

"Pick up the lotus root—"

As soon as the sky was dawn, a loud chant sounded in Ajie Valley.

The rough and unrestrained baritone sang the harvest battle in the simplest rhythm, followed by a group of high-pitched or low-pitched voices screaming, which startled many birds that inhabited here.

"Hey—every family is happy on the day of picking up lotus root, hey, everyone is happy!

The mother-in-law and the little boy look through their eyes!
Two feet broke through the thousand layers of waves, hey, hey, hey!
Take the white lotus root with one hand.

Hey short, hey, if you want to say that this white lotus root is wonderful in a thousand ways,
Prince Nezha knows the details!
It can shape the body of the gods to break through the thousands of troops,

To be able to attend the Nine Heavens Peach Feast!

Can enter hundreds of common dishes,

If you can go to the market, you can get money!
In exchange for money, the mother-in-law is happy,
The old Wang next door is just watching!

Wealth and harmony depend on it,

Let's take it together, brothers! "

More than a dozen strong men, either wearing waist-length water pants or simply wearing only a pair of boxers, sang chant and splashed into the water.

Although there are only a dozen acres of lotus root fields in Ajie Lake, lotus roots are intertwined and deep into the mud. If all the lotus roots are harvested, the amount will be very considerable, which can be regarded as an extra income for the young and old in the village.

With these lotus roots, the young women in the family can change into brand new clothes, and the elderly in the family can have money to eat some good supplements. The men in Dashan are so simple and simple, so that the women in the family can live a good life Only when the elderly can enjoy their old age in peace, can they stand up straight and become real men!

Zhou Dong sighed very much, what is positive energy?This is positive energy!

No matter what time it is, labor is always the most beautiful!

If it wasn't for the persuasive persuasion of Li Xiuchen and Shen Cheng, he would have rolled up his sleeves and went down to the lake to touch the lotus roots; since his illness, it was the first time that he felt so happy, feeling that his whole body had inexhaustible strength.

Huai Liangren seemed to be shocked by the scene in front of him. This guy with serious cleanliness actually sat on the grass by the lake and took endless pictures with his mobile phone.

There are countless lotus roots that have been turned into delicacies by his hands, but this is the first time I have seen the scene of touching the lake and picking up lotus roots, and it feels very novel.

'Touching the lake and picking up the lotus root to make the young and old tired' is not a joke. Compared with this kind of hard work, moving bricks is like a fairy's life.

This job is all manual, even in today's artificial intelligence rampant.After getting into the water, the lotus root worker needs to find the position of the lotus root with his feet, and then judge the path of the lotus root based on experience. Then he has to bend down and find the root of the lotus root from the lake mud. pull it out.

This process must not be reversed. If you find the wrong lotus root, the good lotus root will be broken in the mud, and the lotus root will be useless if muddy water enters it.After the root of the lotus root has been successfully cut off, the lotus root must be pulled out entirely by waist strength.

How tiring is this work?For a fitness expert who is full of pimples in the gym, you will know if you let him try it in the lotus pond.It doesn't take much, pulling out a dozen lotus roots can make him unable to straighten up!

"Master Xiao Zhou, look, it's the best white lotus root."

Li Xiucheng ran over with a section of washed lotus root, and handed it to Zhou Dong as a treasure.

"That's right, even in our Chudu's lotus root, it's top grade!"

The white lotus root in Chudu has round pores and reasonable spacing. The meat is moderately thick. Compared with the southern lotus root, the whole shape is smaller and more delicate. Moreover, the taste of this lotus root is absolutely not meaty or blunt. The entrance is crisp and juicy, without any residue residual.

Huai Liang came over to take a look, and nodded slightly.

Of course, a top chef like him is no stranger to the white lotus root in Chudu, and he can tell at a glance that the lotus root produced by Ajie Lake is of higher quality than ordinary white lotus root.

If this kind of lotus root is cooked and eaten, it will not turn gray and black. If it is used for stir-frying and cooling, it is the first-class delicacy in the world, which is by no means comparable to ordinary lotus root.

Therefore, if people in Chudu go to the vegetable market to buy lotus root, they will first ask, is it the real local lotus root?The seller will smile and pat his chest to promise, don’t worry, you can’t lie to us Chudu people, they are all serious white lotus roots, if you don’t eat well when you go back, just come back and overturn my stall!
Zhou Dong picked a few catties of white lotus roots and quickly returned them to Li Xiuchen's home. It was just past six o'clock in the morning, and there was absolutely no problem in making 'bi lotus root fat jade porridge' before noon.

After eating the breakfast made by Li Xiuchen's wife, Huai Liangren and Shen Cheng began to urge Zhou Dong.

These two people are more anxious than anyone else, they have been looking forward to this legendary porridge since last night.

'Bi lotus fat jade porridge' ah, the name is very tall, Shen Cheng may want to watch the fun, but Huai Liangren has long been ready to 'steal the teacher'.

In fact, it's not considered stealing. Mr. Huai Liang asked Zhou Dong a long time ago, you don't refuse to watch while cooking porridge, right?Zhou Dong replied, just look at it, it’s up to you how much you can learn. Bi lotus fat and jade porridge is a single high-tech given by the system, and he makes it like the upper body of the ancestor, so he really doesn’t know how to cherish himself.

Shen Cheng took the initiative to ask for help, and he had cleaned the big iron pot of Li Xiuchen's house very quickly, so Zhou Dong arranged for him to get lotus root noodles.It is very simple to make lotus root powder. Peel and slice the lotus root, put it in a juicer and squeeze it into a pulp. After sedimentation, filter it out with fine gauze, and then dry it in the sun or dry it.

And Zhou Dong doesn't require it to be particularly dry, just put it in a cool place and blow it.

Although he didn't know why lotus root powder was needed to make porridge, Shen Cheng didn't ask, and went to get it honestly.

Zhou Dong took the inch-gold cartilage that Li Xiuchen's wife had just bought, cleaned it with master-level vegetable washing skills, and watched the mountain spring water in the big iron pot boil slightly, then poured the inch-gold cartilage into it and burned it without star anise pepper For these spices, a lot of ginger slices and a small amount of scallion white are used.

Huailiang looked at it and nodded slightly: "Are you going to use the soup made from inch-gold cartilage to make the porridge base? Yes, this is the way of Cantonese porridge, but isn't it too bland?"

After all, I am an expert, and I can see the key points at a glance; if I want to use meat soup as the bottom of the pot, common spices such as star anise pepper cannot be used, because it will affect the color of the porridge and the taste is too brutal.

It's just that if meat is included in Cantonese porridge, it must be delicious, and even salted fish can be used as an explosive ingredient, but Zhou Dong uses inch-gold cartilage to cook the porridge bottom. Huailiang will inevitably worry that the taste will be bland.

Zhou Dong looked at him: "What you want is lightness, you will know after reading it."

"Oh" Huai Liang nodded, rarely acting like an honest baby.

After putting down the fire in the big iron pot, Zhou Dong took note of the time and began to process the white lotus root; Huai Liang hurriedly came to his side, his eyes widened, for fear of missing any details.

Zhou Dong first washed a few pieces of lotus root with master-level vegetable washing skills, which slightly improved the quality of lotus root, then removed the bad-tasting lotus root at the head and tail with a straight knife, and finally cut the tender lotus root that was about ten centimeters long directly Everything for two.

Several sections of lotus root are handled in this way, and it seems that he is not going to slice or cut the lotus root into small pieces.

Huai Liangren wondered: "You wouldn't cook such a large lotus root directly, would it be delicious? Besides, this is not green lotus root."

Zhou Dong didn't respond to him, he picked up a piece of white lotus root with his left hand, and there was already a silver needle with the head bent at 45 degrees in his right hand.

Huai Liang was stunned, there was no tool in the back kitchen that he didn't know, but what kind of thing was this, it seemed to be a silver needle used in Chinese medicine?
No, this needle is much longer than ordinary silver needles, and it also has an elbow.

I really don't understand what this guy is doing.
