Chapter 86: Delicious Food
Zeng Fubai now really explained the situation honestly.
Lin Zhusheng had already expected this from the beginning. After all, he had read the Weibo post, which stated that the cabbage was eaten in a small farm restaurant.
But he was betting on this boss, who didn't grow the crops himself, but imported them from somewhere else.
Although I didn't expect that a small boss, without any high-tech equipment and not having an organic farm, could easily grow such good cabbage.
If the people in the high-end farms heard this, they would probably be so jealous that their faces would turn red.
After knowing that the cabbage could not be supplied in large quantities, Lin Zhusheng didn't have any other ideas. After all, they ran a big restaurant. The taste of the ingredients was important, but stability was even more important.
Of course, during this process, Lin Zhusheng also found out the specific location of the small restaurant.
"Qiong Ye Restaurant?"
After thinking about it, Lin Zhusheng felt that if he had the chance, he should go and give it a try.
Although it was unlikely that he would go there to buy cabbage in large quantities, he was still very curious about this restaurant.
After all, the vegetables grown are so delicious, so how do the meals sold taste?
…
Bai Mengmeng never imagined that just by selling three cabbages, her little-known restaurant would actually attract the attention of the famous Tongsheng Hotel.
As winter is approaching, the number of visitors to the Phoenix Mountain Scenic Area has begun to decline sharply again.
Without tourists, the hotel's business is actually much worse than before. Recently, it has been supported by some old customers from nearby.
After all, no matter how delicious the food at Qiongye Restaurant is, not many people would take the time to travel a long distance and spend several hours to eat there in the middle of winter, so Bai Mengmeng finally had some rare leisure time.
When people have some free time, they will feel that time passes very quickly. As the saying goes, time flies like an arrow. In the blink of an eye, it is almost the New Year.
After harvesting the last crop of cabbage, Bai Mengmeng planned to pickle all the cabbage.
The storage manager also added a new type of pickled vegetables. Speaking of which, there are all kinds of bottles and jars of various sizes, such as pickled mustard greens, pickled salted lemons, pickled salted plums, lychee and osmanthus dried radish, and osmanthus honey pickled cabbage...
It was stuffed full, even filling up every corner, and Bai Mengmeng felt a great sense of satisfaction deep in her heart.
With so many delicious foods, you won’t panic no matter what happens.
"In two days, I'll kill a pig, pickle some bacon and ham, and stuff it with sausage." Bai Mengmeng thought to herself.
After finishing the chores at hand, she began to think about today's menu.
"Whatever. There aren't many customers anyway, so there's no need to sell too much."
Bai Mengmeng thought for a long time but still didn't know what to sell, so she ran to the farmland behind to see what was there.
"How come peas grow so fast?"
Because the peas are cold-resistant, she planted them when the weather got cold. It seemed like not much time had passed, but the pea seedlings had already grown very tall.
Peas are a treasure. Not only can you eat the fruits, but the tender rhizomes can also be eaten. They are usually called pea tops or pea tips. They are extremely fresh and delicious.
Some hot pot restaurants also sell this kind of seasonal vegetables, and the prices are usually not low.
Because pea tips are the most delicious when they are picked at their freshest and tenderest.
Bai Mengmeng immediately thought of what she wanted to buy today.
Pea tip crispy meat soup!
And now that the weather is getting colder, you can also fry some meatballs, fish fillets, etc., which are easier to store.
Bai Mengmeng picked up a lot of fish from both sides and soon caught a whole basket of them.
It may seem like a lot, but there is actually not much edible part of the pea tips. Pinch off the fluff on the top and the older stems at the bottom, and there is only a small amount of fresh and tender part that can be eaten.
But this stuff tastes really delicious.
So after finishing the process, Bai Mengmeng selected a few pieces of pork and started frying them into crispy pieces.
These fat and lean meats are first cut into thumb-sized pieces, then seasoned with salt, sugar, cooking wine, onion, ginger, and garlic, and marinated with peppercorns.
In addition to controlling the heat when frying crispy pork, another important thing is to use peppercorns to remove the fishy smell, increase the flavor, and pay attention to the batter.
Of course, different places have different ways of making batter, because the flour used in different places is not the same. Some places use pea flour, and some places prefer corn starch.
Bai Mengmeng is currently using sweet potato flour with eggs. After all, there are so many sweet potatoes, and she made a lot of flour some time ago...
Of course, it’s not just this reason. In fact, using sweet potato starch to fry the crispy meat will make the meat particularly fluffy and crispy.
Even without making soup, it is very delicious when eaten dry. And when added to soup, it is especially easy to absorb food because of its loose surface.
Bai Mengmeng filled half a pot of oil, and when the oil temperature rose, she carefully placed the pieces of meat covered in batter into the oil.
Under high temperature, the paste instantly turns into a golden crispy shell, and the aroma of meat wafts throughout the kitchen.
"It smells so good." Wang Hao smelled the scent and ran to the kitchen.
"It needs to be fried again. It will taste better when you take it out of the oil pan later. It will be more fragrant and crispy. Don't be in a hurry now. Just wait by the side." Bai Mengmeng quickly stopped the man.
After the crispy pork was fried, except for Wang Hao, several other people also gathered around, their eyes full of desire.
"Okay, it's time to eat." Bai Mengmeng felt a little amused for a moment. She was hoping to make soup, but it seemed that this was not enough at all. She had to fry more.
I took a few more pieces of pork belly and started frying the crispy meat again.
Did you feed it yourself?
I don’t know why, but everyone was happily eating the fried crispy pork with a look of satisfaction on their faces. Bai Mengmeng felt particularly happy when she saw this, and had an indescribable joy in her heart.
…
Qiong Ye Restaurant Hua Gu Duo: Today we're selling pea tip and crispy pork soup. They use freshly picked pea tips and deep-fried crispy pork. If you're craving something, come quickly.
As the weather gets colder, Zhou Zhongming sits at home, warming himself by the fire, drinking tea, and playing cards with his friends.
Suddenly, a message popped up on the phone.
He picked it up and took a look, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"No more fighting, no more fighting. I'm going out to eat pea tips. Let's get together again tomorrow."
His friends quickly stopped him.
"You're not playing a good hand, are you trying to find an excuse? No, don't try to cheat in front of us. We'll take your pants off."
Zhou Zhongming shook his head. "That's definitely impossible. I really have something to do and I'm in a hurry to go out for dinner. The menu at Qiongye Restaurant today is pea tips. If you go too late, they'll be sold out!"
Good friend Xu Guangwei couldn't help but laugh at this moment: "Qiong Ye Restaurant? I'll go too. I agreed to live stream from her place before, but then something happened and the live stream was interrupted. I just chatted with her on the phone and didn't thank her in person."
