Chapter 245 Lotus Doll

When we arrived at the restaurant a little later than yesterday, Captain Liu and his men had already brought back the red crayfish.

As soon as several horse-drawn carriages stopped in front of the restaurant, waiters came to help, carrying baskets of bamboo shoots and lotus roots from the carriages. When they first saw the lotus roots, no one knew what they were.

All the items were moved into the backyard, and Manager Gao asked someone to come and weigh them, as they all needed to be paid for.

Seeing several baskets of lotus roots, Manager Gao said excitedly: "County Lady, is this the new dish you mentioned? How do we eat it?"

Zheng Sisi smiled and replied, "This is lotus root. There are many ways to eat it. I'll tell you later. You can take delivery first. It's still ten cents per pound. You can settle the money with Chen Zhuangtou later. He will take care of the account."

Manager Gao: "Okay, County Lady."

He instructed the waiter to weigh the food quickly as he had to hurry up and wait for the new dishes to be served at noon.

Zheng Sisi entered the kitchen. Since no one here had ever processed lotus roots before, she called several maids to the kitchen to help. Rose Lily and Dongzhi both had experience, and they directed the aunts to wash the lotus roots while explaining the uses and benefits of eating lotus roots.

Everyone in the kitchen was stunned when they heard this. They had seen this thing growing above water, and the lotus seeds were edible, but no one had ever thought that the lotus roots in the mud under water could be eaten and had so many medicinal values.

After cleaning, several people moved the lotus roots to the table. Dongzhi asked: "County Master, how do you cut the lotus roots?"

Zheng Sisi thought for a moment and said: "I'll make a braised lotus root, a stir-fried lotus root slices, and a lotus root soup with pork shank."

The three nodded: "Okay, County Master."

Zheng Sisi also reminded: "Remember not to waste the lotus root nodes. Collect them and throw them back into the lotus pond tomorrow."

Rose said: "Don't worry, County Lady, we won't destroy the lotus root nodes. We still have to rely on them to grow. Will we have lotus roots to eat next year?"

Zheng Sisi smiled and said, "They are all smart guys."

The three of them laughed.

The three of them picked up kitchen knives and explained the importance of lotus root nodes as they cut, asking everyone not to damage the tender sprouts when cutting the lotus root.

Aunt Niu held a lotus root and said, "This lotus root is really beautiful. Don't you think it looks like the arms of the golden boy and jade girl in the New Year pictures, segmented and jointed? Really beautiful."

Everyone laughed after hearing this and said that Aunt Niu was really thoughtful.

Zheng Sisi said, "What Aunt Niu said is right. Children raised in wealthy families are chubby, and their arms and legs are like lotus roots, segmented and white and tender."

A chef also agreed: "Yes, I have seen children from rich families with arms like this lotus root."

Aunt Gui sighed, "To raise a child so fat, he must have eaten so many good things, otherwise he wouldn't have grown up."

Zheng Sisi said, "You guys just wait and see. In the future, the children in your village will also be raised to be plump and white, with arms and legs like lotus root nodes. They will all be lotus root babies."

Everyone laughed and said they hoped that was the case.

Time flies by while we chat and laugh.

The braised lotus root was put directly into the water and cooked together. The original carrot soup was replaced with lotus root soup. Several chefs quickly got the hang of it.

Zheng Sisi scooped out some thinly sliced ​​lotus root from the basin and asked someone to light the fire. She taught the chefs how to stir-fry some lotus root slices.

When the lotus root slices were sprinkled with chopped green onions and served, everyone smelled a fragrance. Seeing that the lotus root slices were still white and had many holes in the middle, everyone praised how good they looked when they were fried.

Zheng Sisi cooked a lot and left a portion for the people in the kitchen to taste. Then she asked several chefs to try cooking a portion to practice first, and then gave it to everyone to taste after it was done.

She took a plate of stir-fried lotus root slices and went to the lobby to find Manager Gao.

Manager Gao was directing the waiters to clean under the table. When he saw Zheng Sisi bringing out a dish, he knew that this must be the new dish that was going to be launched.
