"Is Fenli okay?" Yin Ya tilted her head and thought for a while.
"Okay." Yuanzhou responded.
"Boss Yuan can even do this?" Yin Ya only ate the food brought by her colleagues once.
At that time, I just thought it was tender, soft and glutinous, and very delicious. After asking about it, I found out that it is a snack made of rice, which is not available here. Now that I heard about rice products, I thought of it reflexively, so I just asked casually, but there was no hope. .
"Yes, I can do it." Yuan Zhou said with certainty.
"Then I'll eat this today," Yin Ya said happily.
"Okay, you can just come over at this time tomorrow." Yuan Zhou said seriously.
"Hmm, huh?" Yin Ya agreed reflexively at first, and then realized what Yuan Zhou said.
"Why?" Yin Ya didn't understand now.
"Fen Li needs to prepare overnight, but we can't do it now." Yuan Zhou said directly.
"Um, didn't it say you can't make an appointment?" Yin Ya asked silently, pointing to the rules on the wall.
"So I need you to come over at this time tomorrow." Yuan Zhou answered smoothly.
"Are you sure it can't be today?" Yin Ya asked in confirmation.
"No." Yuan Zhou said firmly.
"What can I eat today?" Yin Ya asked after thinking about it.
"It depends on what you want to eat." It felt like the conversation between the two was back to the beginning.
Yin Ya couldn't help but hold her forehead, "Forget it, lotus leaf rice is fine."
"No problem." Yuan Zhou frowned, not quite understanding what happened to Yin Ya, but still answered affirmatively.
"I'd like another ginseng and beef sauce." Yin Ya's order was quite economical, and it was a combination of meat and vegetables.
"Hold on."
Yuanzhou turned around and started preparing food.
Lotus leaf belongs to the condiment category, so the system has already prepared it.
Lotus leaf rice has a history of more than 1,300 years. Records about lotus leaf rice in Guangdong can be found in "Guangdong News" in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties: Dongguan steamed fragrant rice mixed with fish and meat wrapped in lotus leaves. The outside and inside were fragrant, and it was called lotus rice.
There is also a bamboo poem about lotus leaf rice: "The lotus leaves in the pantang are all over the lotus pond, and the sisters come to pick the lotus leaves in the morning. If you don't pick the lotus flowers, pick the lotus leaves. The lotus leaves in the rice are more fragrant than the flowers."
The lotus leaf rice made by Yuanzhou is more like what is described in Zhuzhi Ci. The lotus leaves in the rice package are more fragrant than flowers. There are no other ingredients in the rice, it is just lotus leaf rice.
After washing the rice, due to time constraints, put it directly into a pot prepared by the system and start soaking. This pot has the effect of accelerating fermentation, and it only takes five minutes to complete two hours.
At this time, Yuanzhou began to rinse the lotus leaves first.
The lotus leaf taken out from the cabinet seemed to have just been picked. There were still small threads connecting the broken parts, and there were also some crystal dewdrops on the leaves.
Freshly picked lotus leaves cannot be used directly, not only for hygienic reasons, but also because they will have an astringent taste and need to be treated first. Yuan Zhou directly washes them with the dew on the lotus leaves, so as not to destroy the fragrance of the lotus leaves themselves. Can also be cleaned.
Then take out a part of the dew and boil it, put in the lotus leaves and blanch them until they soften slightly. When the color becomes darker, take them out and let them dry to drain away the moisture.
At this time, take out the soaked rice grains and start wrapping.
Yuan Zhou was very careful when wrapping. Even the silk bundles were made of blanched lotus stems to ensure that there was no foreign smell that would affect the lotus leaf rice.
This kind of lotus leaf rice needs to be steamed, but Yuanzhou directly uses a high-pressure steamer to steam it quickly using pressure, ensuring nutrition and deliciousness at the same time.
While the rice was steaming, Yuan Zhou made other orders. In about ten minutes, the lotus leaf rice was steamed.
Yuanzhou took out a plate, quickly carved out a few lotus shapes with white radish, and decorated them on the plate. There were exactly three of them, forming a small circle. He used long bamboo chopsticks to pick out the lotus rice and put it right in the middle. .
Only then did I see that there was a green half-opened lotus on top of the lotus leaf, which looked particularly beautiful with the white and transparent lotus on the side.
"Your dishes are ready." Yuan Zhou put it on the table.
"So beautiful." When a girl buys a fruit, she has to look at its appearance first, so this lotus leaf rice is impeccable in terms of appearance.
"Hey, boss Yuan, won't you help open it?" Yin Ya looked at the well-wrapped lotus leaf rice and didn't know where to start.
"Just use chopsticks to pick it up." Yuan Zhou pointed to the place where the knot was wrapped.
"Choose?" Yin Ya asked doubtfully.
It wasn't until Yuan Zhou nodded that Yin Ya dared to use her chopsticks to pick apart the seemingly strong knot.
With just a flick of the chopsticks, the knot opened instantly, and the seemingly tightly wrapped lotus leaves slowly bloomed like a lotus.
The blooming lotus just covers the white radish lotus, revealing the white rice grains inside. The rice is also shaped into a lotus bag, which looks like there is an unopened lotus in the blooming lotus.
"Boss Yuan is so awesome." Yin Ya was so surprised by the romantic lotus rice that she opened her mouth slightly and murmured.
After eating lotus leaf rice for 20 years, it was the first time I saw such a good-looking person.
Just because of its appearance and magical opening method, Yin Ya felt that the lotus leaf rice was worth it, and smelling the aroma also knew that it couldn't be delicious.
Yin Ya took the spoon and after a long time gently scooped out the lotus tip and put it in her mouth to taste.
The fragrance of lotus leaves mixed with lotus comes instantly. The rice grains are soft and fragrant. Accompanied by the fragrance of lotus leaves and refreshing taste, it is really a refreshing experience for the taste.
It feels like eating a lotus with distinct layers, except that the lotus is made of rice and has the unique fragrance of rice.
Yin Ya enjoyed eating and savoring it carefully.
At this time, Manman, who had not been here for more than a week, also came. As soon as he came in, he saw Yin Ya. When he was about to say hello, Yin Ya stopped him. He didn't even say a word, but stopped him with gestures.
Now Manman was curious, and looked carefully at Yin Ya's table. He found lotus leaves, but didn't think there was anything else. Adhering to the principle of asking if you don't understand, Manman asked directly.
"Xiaoyun, what did she eat to make her so intoxicated?"
"Sister Manman, the lotus leaf rice that Sister Ya eats is made from rice." Mu Xiaoyun said obediently.
"Made by Mibai, what is it? Is it new?" Manman turned around and looked carefully.
"Baido, Boss Yuan, do you really know how to do a hundred things?" Manman was familiar with Yuan Zhou and asked directly.
"Yes, what can I eat?" Yuan Zhou's answer was simple and clear. I can show it to you directly.
"The tone is so loud, let me think about it." Seeing Yuan Zhou's confident look, Manman couldn't help but want to do something bad.
I am going to think of something rare to amuse Yuan Zhou.
"In this case, I want to eat lychee rice and buckwheat porridge." Manman is a good baker and sometimes likes to make her own desserts.
This porridge is for those girls who like to eat lychees but are prone to getting angry. This is a recipe that Manman found after searching for a long time. She doesn't believe that a grown man in Yuanzhou knows this.
"This won't work..." Before Yuan Zhou finished speaking, Man Man smiled and was about to interrupt, but Yuan Zhou said first, "The main ingredient can only be rice, and the ingredients can be seasonings, not side dishes or other staple foods."
"Uh, okay, let's change it to butter bibimbap." Manman rolled her eyes and changed to a more Western-style one.
"Can."
Seeing Yuan Zhou agree, Manman was a little unwilling. He sat in his seat and looked at Yin Ya eating so satisfactorily. Then he looked at Mi Bai and finally decided to trick Yuan Zhou. He took out his mobile phone and started texting friends. lock up… (.)
