Chapter 520: Digging up sweet potatoes and eating them together(1/2)
Mom agreed, but the key is what kind of vegetarian dishes to stir-fry?
Soon, I quickly thought of a sweet potato field I saw on the way back.
Got it.
Fry sweet potato tips.
If you want to eat green vegetables this day, the tender tips of sweet potato vines are a very good choice.
Li You took a vegetable basket and said to Mu Qingye and Ling Xiaoru: "Let's go pick some sweet potato tips and fry them."
Ling Xiaoru is very familiar with sweet potato vine tips and ate them often when she was in her hometown.
Mu Qingye was not familiar with it, "Can sweet potato vines be fried and eaten?"
In her impression, she has never eaten it.
Li You said: "Only the tender tips at the top can be used, they are quite delicious."
Mu Qingye nodded.
Both of them followed Li You out of the door in high spirits.
Two minutes later, we arrived at a sweet potato field.
Of course it's Li You's own land.
I picked it right here in this field.
Li You picked off the tender tip of a sweet potato vine, showed it to Mu Qingye, and said, "Just pick this part."
Needless to say, Mu Qingye must have never picked the tips of sweet potato vines before.
Mu Qingye said happily: "I know, I'll pick it too. I've never done it before."
Li You smiled and said: "Then today is just the right time for you to experience it."
Mu Qingye nodded.
Ling Xiaoru is naturally very familiar with picking the tips of sweet potato vines.
Three people picked it together.
After picking for a while, Mu Qingye asked: "Boss, are these sweet potatoes about to be harvested soon?"
Li You said: "It will take a while. However, if you want to eat it, you can dig it out and eat it. I will pry one out and have a look later."
I don’t have a hoe. But it doesn’t matter. You can find a branch to pry.
"Will it be wasted if it is dug out?" Mu Qingye asked.
Li You said: "No. Take it back and steam it with rice. It's delicious."
"That's okay." Mu Qingye was very happy.
She was interested to know how big the sweet potatoes got?
After picking enough sweet potato tips, Li You found a relatively thick branch nearby. After selecting another nest of sweet potatoes, he began to pry the soil.
Soon, a sweet potato emerged. It had lavender skin and looked quite big.
After prying a few more times, Li You pulled out the entire sweet potato and then broke the stem connected to the vine.
There are more below, but only this one is enough.
Fill it back with soil.
Pass the sweet potato to Mu Qingye.
Mu Qingye took it, felt it, and said: "It's quite heavy. I'm afraid it weighs half a catty."
Li You said: "It should be a little worse, not too much."
Mu Qingye nodded and said, "You can also eat it raw, right?"
Li You nodded, "Okay! However, the taste is average. Do you want to try it?"
Mu Qingye nodded again, "I want to try it."
Li You smiled and said: "Then give it to me. I'll go wash it."
"Okay."
Mu Qingye handed the sweet potato to Li You.
Li You took it and walked to a nearby field with water to wash off the soil attached to the sweet potato skins.
Then break the sweet potato into three pieces.
Originally, he said he would take it back and steam it with rice. But now that Mu Qingye wants to eat it raw, he might as well eat it raw each of three people.
Pass two pieces to Mu Qingye and Ling Xiaoru respectively.
All three are ready to eat.
Bite off the skin of the sweet potato and eat only the pulp inside.
It's crispy, a little sweet, and the texture is okay.
Mu Qingye said: "I think it's okay, it tastes better."
Ling Xiaoru also said: "It tastes better than most sweet potatoes in places like ours."
Li You said: "It seems that my parents have good skills in growing sweet potatoes this year."
Li You took the sweet potato tips and the three of them walked back while eating.
After I got home, I finished eating the sweet potatoes.
Li You walked into the kitchen and fried the sweet potato tips.
Start eating.
Mu Qingye picked up some sweet potato tips and ate them into his mouth.
In her memory, this was the first time she ate sweet potato tips.
It tastes very good and delicious.
This is certainly due to Li You's excellent cooking skills, but there is no doubt that the sweet potato tip itself is also delicious.
Today I ate another ingredient that I had never tasted before, and Mu Qingye was very happy.
After finishing the meal slowly, putting away the dishes and washing them, it was already seven o'clock in the evening.
It's time to go back to the hotel.
Li You got on the motorcycle, and Mu Qingye and Ling Xiaoru also got on it one after another.
Set off.
Ten minutes later, we returned to Jiulongxia Hotel.
There are still customers eating in the store.
Of course we eat braised chicken.
After seeing Li You, Mu Qingye, and Ling Xiaoru come back, they greeted the three of them one after another.
After Mu Qingye and Ling Xiaoru responded, they returned upstairs.
Li You continued to chat with the guests. It was not until 8:30 in the evening that all the guests left, then he closed the door and went upstairs.
……
The next day.
Morning.
Li You went downstairs and opened the store door. First, he wrote "twice-cooked pork with garlic sprouts" on the board of today's supply.
I’m selling this dish today.
Then I went outside for a walk.
After coming back, I started making preparations in the kitchen.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Mu Qingye and Ling Xiaoru went downstairs one after another.
I cooked a small bowl of Yangchun noodles for each of them.
After eating, Ling Xiaoru went to the town studio to work, while Mu Qingye went out with his camera.
After Li You finished the preparations, he lay down on the rocking chair in front of the store to rest.
Soon after, I saw a pickup truck pulling into the parking lot.
The cab door opened, and the person who came down was Liu Hong.
Li You's eyes lit up, it must be Liu Hong who sent mango saplings.
Then he stood up and walked quickly to the parking lot.
Not far away, I saw Liu Hong taking out two small trees from the cargo compartment.
