Chapter 1153 On the 108 ways to eat lotus root (two in one)
As the sun sets in the west, there are no heartbroken people at the end of the world. There is only the water of Wild Duck Lake dyed ruddy by the setting sun, and the fragrance of food that fills the air from Lotus Island in the dusk.
Han Cheng, sitting on a stone, is busy here.
In front of him was a large basin with a lot of stuffing in it.
It's just that the main ingredient of this stuffing is a little special, it's not regular meat or vegetables, but rice.
In addition to rice, there are also minced meat, as well as condiments such as onions and ginger.
These things are mixed together.
Han Cheng held a lotus root with one end cut open in his hand and a spoon in the other hand. He scooped up the stuffing in the basin and kept filling it.
This process is not very smooth.
Mainly because the holes of the lotus root are relatively small, and the filling mixed with meat is relatively sticky, so it is not very easy to stuff it inside.
Many times, you need to use chopsticks to pound it inside.
After Han Cheng installed two of these things inside and demonstrated them, he ignored them and left them to Bai Xuemei, Shitou, Yuan and others to complete them.
Han Cheng stood up and came to the edge of a pot that was burning on one side. He used a long-handled spoon and gently pushed it against the bottom of the pot.
What is boiling in the pot is fish soup, which has been boiled a little white at this time.
Here on Hehua Island, the most indispensable thing is fish.
I don’t know how many years the fish here have lived, and I don’t know if they were caught before the people from the Qingque tribe came.
Even if it is caught, it is not even a drop in the bucket to the fish in it.
This shows how rich the fishery resources are here.
Clean the fresh fish, chop it into pieces, add salt, Nande Spicy Seasoning, Wang Shouyi Thirteen Spices, wine, light soy sauce, a little vinegar, and pepper shells pounded with a stone mortar, stir and marinate.
After about an hour, you can take a nap.
First heat the pot, put some oil in it, fry a few star anise, add some ginger slices, then lightly fry the fish pieces, then add water, put on a large firewood and stew vigorously.
Before taking it out of the pot, sprinkle some chopped green onion and coriander leaves, pour some oil, and take a sip of the fish soup. Not to mention how delicious it is!
Of course, this is what was done in later generations.
Conditions are limited at this time.
Not to mention the Thirteen Incenses, even Wang Shouyi, the man who made the Thirteen Incenses, and how many generations ago can't be found.
The same goes for South German seasonings.
Under such circumstances, Han Cheng could only keep everything simple, pick and choose on top of the previous steps, and make do by force.
Han Cheng had drunk the fish soup stewed in this way before.
It is a little different from later generations, but the advantage is that the fish is really delicious and wild enough, so the taste of the stewed fish is not bad.
After stirring the fish in the pot, Han Cheng started to make another delicacy - fried lotus root box!
Pick up a lotus root slice that has been cut into two pieces, use a spoon to scoop up a spoonful of the meat filling that you have prepared earlier, sandwich it between the two lotus roots, and then spread it out flat.
After it was done, Han Chenggong placed it in a basin next to it.
There is some mixed paste in the basin.
This is made from rice flour ground by a small flower mill in the tribe and mixed with water.
Originally, for fried lotus root boxes, the flour coated with wheat is the best.
Until now, Han Cheng has never encountered a coveted crop like wheat.
So I can only use rice noodles instead.
"Start the fire."
Han Cheng said to Wu sitting in front of the pot.
After receiving Han Cheng's instructions, Wu took out two burning sticks of firewood from under the pot of fish soup, filled them under the oil pot that had been filled with oil, and picked up the rest of the dry firewood.
Put them inside together.
After a while, a fire started burning under the oil pan.
Han Cheng continued to sandwich the meat filling between the two connected lotus root slices.
When the oil in the pot became hot enough to fry things, Han Cheng had already put many lotus root slices stuffed with meat into the basin filled with rice paste.
Han Cheng used chopsticks to pick up a lotus root slice filled with meat filling, rinsed it in the rice paste in the basin, and after coating the surface with a layer of rice paste, he picked it up with chopsticks and put it away.
into the oil pan.
I put about ten in at a time before I stopped.
Han Cheng took advantage of this gap to continue filling the lotus root slices with meat filling.
After picking up a few, I stopped and used the chopsticks on the side to flip over the lotus root boxes that were being fried in the pot.
After turning it over, stuff the meat filling into the lotus root slices.
Under the influence of hot oil, the outside of the lotus root box will soon turn golden.
Seeing that the lotus root box was ripe, Han Chenggong used chopsticks to take it out of the oil pan.
It was not put directly into the pot prepared on the side for placing the fried lotus root box, but was put into a bamboo woven fence.
The lotus root box is placed on a bowl.
After a while, a drop of oil stained the lotus root box, passed through the fence, and slowly dripped into the bowl below.
The purpose of this is to catch the oil on the lotus root box that was just fished out of the oil pan.
Pour the oil once, and the resulting oil will be enough to stir-fry a meal.
Han Cheng put the fried lotus root box outside, not just taking it out all at once, but looking at the color.
Moreover, after taking out a few lotus root boxes from the oil pan, they will pick up a few unfried lotus root boxes and put them into the oil pan for frying.
When the fence is full of lotus root boxes, he will pour the oiled lotus root boxes into the basin on the side...
While doing this, Bai Xuemei and the others also filled the lotus roots with stuffing, and Han Chenggong verbally directed them to put the lotus roots into the steamer.
Then place the steamer basket on the pot, cover it and start steaming.
Put in together, there are also a few fish that have been split in half from the middle and have been seasoned...
"Here, try it first."
Han Cheng picked up two fried lotus root boxes and placed them in a bowl. He also took a pair of chopsticks and handed them to Wu who was making a fire there with a smile.
The witch was not polite. After Han Cheng handed it over, he took it over.
Before, I had never seen Fried Lotus Root Box Witch, let alone eaten it.
But despite this, Wu knew that this thing must be delicious.
Not to mention the rest, just because it is produced by Shenzi, and if you look at the meat stuffing in it, you can understand that this kind of food carefully made by Shenzi must be delicious!
Wu picked up a lotus root box with chopsticks, put it in his mouth and took a bite. His eyes suddenly brightened...
tasty!
It’s so delicious!
What is this called...
No matter what its name is! It tastes delicious anyway!
Wu couldn't stop eating.
"You all come and have a try and see how this lotus root box looks like.
If you’re not afraid of it being hot, you can just pinch it with your hands and eat it!”
After Han Cheng saw Wu take one bite, he couldn't stop eating, and he felt confident in his heart.
Immediately he picked up a fried lotus root box and started eating.
I don’t know if it’s because I haven’t eaten these things for a long time, but after taking this bite, Han Cheng really felt very good.
Because the lotus root box is wrapped in rice flour, it tastes a little different from the lotus root box wrapped in flour, but the overall taste is still very good.
Han Cheng took a bite and after confirming that the taste was good, he greeted everyone present with a smile.
Just like in later generations, when fried food was served at home, the family would greet people who came to visit to eat.
The people on the side couldn't help it. When they saw Han Cheng taking out the lotus root box, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
At this time, they saw that Han Cheng and Wu Du had begun to taste the lotus root box, and when they heard the Son of God greeting them and others to come and taste it, they all couldn't bear it anymore.
They came forward one after another, each reaching out his hand to pick one up and couldn't wait to taste it.
Xiao Wandou and Xiao Xing'er's hands were so tender that they couldn't help but get burned. Han Chengcheng got a bowl for each of them and put a lotus root box in the bowl for her to eat from the bowl, so that her hands wouldn't get burned.
.
“It’s delicious, it’s delicious, it’s delicious…”
While eating the stone, he showered me with compliments.
It's round and round, and the food is full of praise. My eyes are so narrow that they become a line, and I can barely see my eyes.
The little peas were sizzling hot and they couldn't wait to pull the lotus root box in the bowl into their mouths.
The lotus root box made by Han Cheng has received unanimous praise from everyone.
No one expected that after years of eating lotus root, they could still eat it like this and make it so delicious.
Sure enough, when it comes to making food, the son of God of his own tribe is the well-deserved number one in his tribe!
"Eat less. There will be other food to eat later. You are too full now and won't be able to eat anymore. But it will be too late to regret it."
Han Cheng said with a smile to Little Peas, who had already eaten three lotus root boxes in such a short period of time and wanted to eat a fourth lotus root box.
Hearing Han Cheng say this, the little pea with dregs on the corners of his mouth swallowed hard before he could endure the urge to eat another piece of lotus root box.
Time passed, and as the flames burned, General Han Cheng's lotus root boxes were fried.
However, the frying did not stop, because there was a large basin of small fish that had been cleaned and marinated.
Grab some rice flour and sprinkle it on the small fish, then stir it with chopsticks. The small fish will soon be covered with a thin layer of rice flour.
Han Cheng picked up such a small fish with chopsticks and put it into the frying pan.
The small fish that were put into the pot quickly floated up, making bubbles and making noises.
The fried small fish is more delicious than the fried big fish. Even the bones are fried and crispy.
There is no need to spit out the thorns, they can be chewed directly.
It's a pity that there is no chili powder and cumin powder. Otherwise, if you sprinkle these things on the small burnt fish just after it comes out of the pot, the taste will be really great!
Han Cheng thought sadly in his heart.
But he soon stopped feeling regretful.
Because everyone on Lotus Island can’t stop eating!
It was like this without adding chili powder, so if more chili powder was added, wouldn't these guys eat all the fish pots?
"The pot is on!"
Han Cheng shouted with joy.
Then he used both hands to lift the large lid covering the pot.
A burst of heat steamed up after Han Cheng opened the lid of the pot.
It also brings out a strong fragrance.
"Wow~"
"Wow~"
The two little guys exclaimed in surprise.
Han Cheng dipped his hand in some cold water, and then used a spatula to quickly take the steamed lotus roots out of the pot.
After taking it out of the pot, place it on the chopping board and use a knife to cut it into segments very quickly.
After cutting it, it was put on a plate again for the people of the tribe to eat.
"Come on, try it!"
Han Cheng greeted everyone with a smile.
Everyone came forward one after another and began to taste the delicacies prepared with the spirit of the Son of God himself.
Han Cheng also picked up a piece and ate it with a smile on his face.
The lotus root is steamed so soft that you can pull out silky threads after taking a bite.
The rice mixed with the meat filling is eaten together, and it is really comfortable to chew.
The taste is very good.
This kind of food is the favorite of witches who have lost many teeth.
He ate four pieces of it before finally stopping.
"Have done something evil~!"
The shaman, who was exhausted from eating, sat on a stone with his back against a big tree.
He stretched out his hand to touch his full belly, and then thought back to the food he had eaten not long ago. He picked up the honey water on the side and took a sip. Feeling the sweetness in his mouth, Wu couldn't help but speak out again.
Send out such emotion.
This is his favorite phrase.
Just like he likes to raise and pet rabbits.
Han Cheng, who was not far away, couldn't help but smile after hearing Wu's emotion.
This is the case with the older generation. They have endured hardships, and when faced with a better life than before, they can't help but feel a lot of emotion in their hearts.
Night has fallen on Lotus Island, shrouded in the hazy moonlight and starlight in the sky.
The scene under the moonlight looks like a completely different experience than that during the day.
The wind was blowing gently, and the water in the lake was rippling.
The water waves gently washed over the beach, making some noise.
Some nocturnal aquatic creatures appeared quietly under the cover of night and crawled around on the beach...
…
The leader of the Red Tiger tribe was lying in a house that had not yet been completely built, staring at the bright moon in the sky with his eyes open, and he kept looking at it.
This is really strange.
This place is already so far away from the old tribe where I and others originally lived, and the moon here is actually the same as that of my old tribe.
With this thought in his mind, the leader of the Red Tiger Tribe didn't even blink his eyes. He stared at them for a long time before finally closing his eyes and falling asleep.
Facing something similar to his old tribe, he wanted to see more...
