Chapter 115 Strange Way

"Can Fanli do it?" Yin Ya tilted her head and thought.

"Yes." Yuan Zhou replied.

"Boss Yuan can even do this?" Yin Ya only ate it once in the meal brought by a colleague.

At the time, I only thought it was smooth, soft and glutinous, very delicious. After inquiring about it, I found out that it was a kind of snack made of rice. There is no such thing here. Now when I hear rice products, I think of this reflexively. .

"Well, I will do it." Yuan Zhou said affirmatively.

"Then I'll eat this today," Yin Ya said happily.

"Okay, you can come over at this time tomorrow." Yuan Zhou said with a serious face.

"Huh, huh?" Yin Ya first agreed reflexively, and then she realized what Yuan Zhou said.

"Why?" Yin Ya didn't understand now.

"Fan Li needs to prepare overnight, and I can't do it now." Yuan Zhou said directly.

"Uh, didn't you say you can't make an appointment?" Yin Ya asked silently, pointing to the rules on the wall.

"That's why I need you to come here tomorrow." Yuan Zhou answered very smoothly.

"Are you sure it can't be today?" Yin Ya asked with confirmation.

"No." Yuan Zhou said affirmatively.

"What can I eat today?" Yin Ya thought about it and asked.

"See what you want to eat." It felt like the conversation between the two had returned to the beginning.

Yin Ya couldn't help but help 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 want another piece of Jinling grass and beef sauce." Yin Ya's order is more economical, and it is a combination of meat and vegetables.

"Hold on."

Yuanzhou turned around and started preparing food.

Lotus leaves belong to the seasoning category, so the system is already ready.

The history of lotus leaf rice has a history of more than 1,300 years.

Cantonese records about lotus leaf rice can be found in the "Guangdong Xinyu" in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties: Dongguan steamed it with fragrant rice, mixed fish, and various flavors in lotus leaves.

In addition, there is a bamboo branch poem written about lotus leaf rice: "The lotus leaves in Pantang are exhausted in the lotus pond, and the sisters are busy picking them. If you don't pick lotus flowers, lotus leaves are more fragrant than flowers."

The lotus leaf rice made by Yuanzhou is more like the description in Zhuzhi Ci, the rice is more fragrant than flowers, and the rice in his rice is not prepared to put other ingredients, it is just pure lotus leaf rice.

After washing the rice, because of 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 for 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 plucked, and there were still small threads attached to the fracture, and there were some crystal dewdrops on the leaves.

The freshly picked lotus leaves cannot be used directly. It is not only a hygienic problem, because it will have an astringent taste and needs to be treated first. Yuanzhou directly washes it with the dew on the lotus leaves, which will not destroy the fragrance of the lotus leaves itself. Can also be cleaned.

Then take out a part of the dew and bring it to a boil, put it in the lotus leaf and blanch it in water until it softens a little. When the color becomes darker, take it out and let it dry.

At this time, take out the soaked rice grains and start wrapping them.

Yuan Zhou was very careful when wrapping it, and even the bundled silk used blanched lotus rods to ensure that no odor would affect the lotus leaf rice.

Such lotus leaf rice needs to be steamed, and Yuanzhou directly uses a high-pressure steamer to quickly steam it with pressure, which ensures nutrition and deliciousness.

While the rice was steaming, Yuanzhou prepared the rest of the order, and in about ten minutes, the lotus leaf rice was ready.

Yuan Zhou took out a plate, quickly carved out a few lotus flowers 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 take out the lotus rice and put it in the middle. .

Only then did I see a green half-open lotus on the top of the lotus leaf wrapping, and it looked especially good with the white and transparent lotus on the side.

"Your dishes are ready." Yuan Zhou brought it to the table.

"It's so beautiful." A girl also needs to look at the appearance first when buying a fruit, so this lotus leaf rice is still irreproachable in terms of appearance.

"Hey, won't Boss Yuan help you open it?" Yin Ya looked at the packaged lotus leaf rice and didn't know where to start.

"Just pick it with chopsticks." Yuan Zhou pointed to the place where the knot was wrapped.

"Choose?" Yin Ya asked suspiciously.

It wasn't until Yuanzhou nodded, that Yin Ya dared to stretch out her chopsticks to open the seemingly firm knot.

Just flicking the chopsticks, the knot opened instantly, and the seemingly tightly wrapped lotus leaf also bloomed slowly like a lotus flower.

The blooming lotus just covers the white radish lotus, revealing the white rice grains inside, and the rice is also made into the shape of a lotus bag, which looks like there is an unopened lotus in the blooming lotus.

"Boss Yuan is amazing." Yin Ya opened her mouth slightly in surprise at this romantic lotus rice, and murmured.

After eating lotus leaf rice for 20 years, this is the first time I have seen such a good-looking person.

Just because of the appearance and the magical way of opening, Yin Ya felt that this lotus leaf rice was worth it, and smelled the aroma and knew that it could not be delicious.

Yin Ya took the spoon and gently scooped the lotus tip for a long time before putting it in her mouth to taste.

A fragrance of lotus leaves mixed with lotus flowers strikes instantly, the rice grains are soft and fragrant, accompanied by the fragrance of lotus leaves, and the refreshing taste, it is really a refreshing experience on the palate.

It feels like eating a lotus flower with distinct layers, but this lotus flower is made of rice, and it also has the unique fragrance of rice.

Yin Ya enjoys the fine taste while eating.

At this time, Manman, who hadn't been here for more than a week, also came. As soon as he came in, he saw Yin Ya and was about to say hello, but was stopped by Yin Ya.

Manman became curious now, looked at Yin Ya's table carefully, and found lotus leaves, but he didn't think there was anything else. Following the principle of asking if he didn't understand, Manman asked directly.

"Xiaoyun, what did she eat, she was so intoxicated."

"Sister Manman, the lotus leaf rice that Sister Ya eats is made by Mi Bai." Mu Xiaoyun said obediently.

"Mibaido, what is it, is it new?" Manman looked back carefully.

"Hundreds of actions, Boss Yuan, do you really know a hundred ways?" Manman and Yuanzhou were also familiar with each other, so they asked directly.

"Yes, what to eat." Yuanzhou's answer is simple and clear, I can make it directly for you to see.

"With such a big tone, let me think about it." Seeing Yuan Zhou's confident look, Manman couldn't help but want to do something bad.

I'm going to think of something relatively rare to tease Yuanzhou.

"In this way, I want to eat lychee rice and buckwheat porridge." Manman is a little baker, and sometimes likes to make desserts by himself.

This porridge is for those girls who like to eat lychees and are easy to get angry. This is a recipe that Manman has been searching for for a long time. She doesn't believe that a big man in Yuanzhou knows this.

"This can't be done..." Before Yuan Zhou finished speaking, Manman smiled and prepared to interject, but Yuan Zhou said first, "Only the main ingredient is rice, and the ingredients are condiments, not side dishes or other staple foods."

"Uh, okay, then change it, butter bibimbap." Rolling his eyes, he directly changed to a more Western-style one.

"Can."

Seeing Yuanzhou's response, Manman was a little unwilling. He sat in the seat, watching Yin Ya's food so satisfied, and then watching Mi Bai's cooking, and finally decided to cheat Yuanzhou, took out his mobile phone and started to send friends Circle... (To be continued.)
