Chapter 66 Taro Rice
After being busy in the kitchen for a long time, Bai Mengmeng still felt a little tired despite her talent.
She only smiled a few times when she was settling the sales.
She didn't know that a colleague had come to the restaurant today. After asking around, he concluded that her costs were frighteningly high, so even though her sales were good, her profits were not much.
If she heard this, Bai Mengmeng would definitely laugh out loud.
There are no such things as high-end lemons. Lemons are obviously just picked from the tree, and the lemons in the backyard are not high-end varieties. The ones in the forest are just the most common Eureka.
Moreover, those vegetables were not bought at a high price. He just went to the vegetable market in the morning and bought them from an old lady, and he bargained repeatedly for the price.
If it were summer, we wouldn't even have to spend this money.
As for the cost, it is nothing more than the time and labor cost of these people.
But to be honest, the cost is not worth much money. Even if we don’t open a restaurant to cook, everyone will be bored and unable to create economic value.
It is the peak tourist season recently, and sales are increasing rapidly, and profits are also much higher. However, after being tired for nearly half a month, everyone is extremely exhausted.
Everyone's faces turned pale as they looked at the dirty and messy hall and the kitchen filled with all kinds of dirty and greasy dishes, pots and pans.
"Wang Hao, didn't we agree on a dishwasher robot? Have you invented it yet?"
Huaguduo put detergent on the rag and couldn't help but wail.
"The robot vacuum cleaner didn't see it either!" Liang Cha sighed and swept the floor impatiently.
"I've been focusing on Parkinson's assistive devices recently, so I'm afraid I'll have to wait for a while for the robot." Wang Hao was also a little embarrassed.
"We can't use something this complicated next time. Let's just buy some simple dishes and don't tire everyone out."
Bai Mengmeng felt that the smell on her body was really despairing.
"Lately, I've been smelling fishy and pig intestines. I feel like I've become smelly."
This peak tourist season should end soon.
Among the farmhouses nearby, he is probably the only one who is looking forward to the end of the peak tourist season.
However, recently, the taro in the field seems to have matured one by one. Otherwise, I might as well make taro salty rice tomorrow and be lazy.
Qiong Ye Restaurant: Everyone, we will be selling taro rice tomorrow and will not be cooking.
Jie Ge: What happened? I didn’t get to eat the lemon fish. I was planning to come over to eat it tomorrow!
Only hard work can lead to success: I love taro rice the most. I haven't eaten food from my hometown in a long time. Boss, I will definitely come over to eat it tomorrow.
…
Locals don’t actually eat taro salty rice.
Although taro is more common here, everyone uses taro to make braised pork. Cut the taro into slices, then add bacon or pork belly and cook it in a casserole.
The soft and sticky taro and the fatty meat are so delicious that it makes your eyebrows drop. Local restaurants also particularly like to ride this car.
Of course, some people also follow the example of neighboring provinces and make anti-sand taro, or simply make taro cake, which is also delicious.
However, these dishes are quite troublesome to make. If you want to be lazy, it is best to make taro salty rice.
The last time I had this dish was at a colleague’s house. My colleague’s grandmother was from Minzhou and she loved to cook all kinds of salty rice.
The next day, Bai Mengmeng dug out the betel nut taro from the ground. These taro were quite large and looked very plump. They felt heavy in the hands and they sounded very delicious.
In fact, taro salty rice is similar to ordinary stewed rice, and there is no difference in the preparation method.
First, peel the betel nut taro, cut it into small pieces, and fry it in oil until the skin turns golden brown, then take it out and set aside.
Then stir-fry the pork belly to release the fat, which can be used to stir-fry side dishes.
As for the side dishes, there is actually nothing special. It all depends on personal taste. Just match what you like. Bai Mengmeng follows the most classic taste, using bacon, mushrooms, carrots and dried shrimps.
Stir-fry briefly, then add the taro and season.
Just do this for a short while, and without even doing anything, a continuous aroma will waft out.
After the side dishes are ready, put the soaked rice into the iron pot, add water and start cooking. Just add a little onion oil or sprinkle some garlic leaves before serving, and you're done.
Bai Mengmeng controlled the heat and hummed a little tune slowly. She thought it would be great if she could sell these every day. It would be effortless at all.
…
The other end.
Liu Yanghe took a long time to travel from north to south and finally got on the bus, planning to go to the Phoenix Mountain Scenic Area.
"No, where on earth is this? The Qiong Ye Sect is too hard to find!"
After getting on the bus, he took out his cell phone, opened the map, and began to study the note he got from home.
"Hello, is anyone here?"
Just then, a voice suddenly came from the side, interrupting his thoughts. It was a young girl in her twenties, and it seemed that there was no place to sit.
"There's no one here, do whatever you want." Liu Yanghe shook his head.
"Thank you." The girl sat down very familiarly, then opened WeChat and sent a voice message: "Wanzi, I'm already on the bus. We'll be at Qiongye Restaurant in an hour. If you get there, remember to save a seat for me in advance."
Liu Yanghe keenly caught the two words "Qiong Ye" and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Did you just say Qiong Ye?"
The little girl turned around, looking a little surprised: "Are you going to Qiongye Restaurant too?"
Liu Yanghe frowned in confusion. "What Qiongye Restaurant? Can you tell me more about it? Maybe it's the same place I went to?"
The little girl thought about it and a bright smile appeared on her face.
"You must have seen Qiong Ye Restaurant online, right? It seems like this is your first time there. Let me tell you, the food there is really delicious. If you want to go there, just come with me."
Liu Yanghe looked touched. "Thank you so much. Just call me Xiao Liu. I'll go with you today."
"No problem, just call me Fangfang."
After they chatted for a few sentences, Fangfang fell asleep on the chair, but Liu Yanghe couldn't sleep at all and was very confused.
It was really strange. He wanted to find the Qiongye Sect, so how come a Qiongye Restaurant appeared out of nowhere?
I took a deep breath. If the two names are so similar, they must be related in some way.
One is the Qiongye Sect, the other is the Qiongye Restaurant, and the destination of this bus is near the Phoenix Mountain Scenic Area. It is impossible that they have no connection.
Anyway, let's go and take a look first. If you can find it, that would be the best. If not, you can ask for some information.
