Chapter 540 Fried Lotus Root Clip

(Thanks to my friend Bingshui for the reward and encouragement of the flame knife, and thanks to my friends Zuimengxixin, Shenmao instructor, Daming, and the monthly ticket for encouragement)
"Dexter, the procedures for our zoo have finally been completed. But it can't really be called a zoo, it's just a preparatory procedure. After the zoo is all done, they will send people over to check, and the inspection is the real one. The zoo." Liu Yi dared to come back from the town.

"It's still so troublesome, so did they say that if we have ferocious wild animals here in the future, how should we manage them?" Liu Heming asked while brushing his daughter's hair seriously.

"They only said to be safe. Because your place is too special, maybe there is no corresponding regulation in their management regulations. Those wolves have lived with you for too long, and they can live in peace with tourists." Liu Yi Shrugged.

"Father, are you going to send the big wolf and the little wolf away?" Alex turned her head and asked worriedly.

"You little guy, it sounds like the wind is the rain. Didn't Dad want to build you a zoo? It needs their approval. There will be more and more animals in our ranch in the future. Are the hair ropes tied tight now?" Liu Heming explained After a while, he asked with a little worry.

Alex shook his head, and the bundle of hair that Liu Heming deliberately tied obliquely on his head also played back and forth playfully.

Liu Heming has a great sense of accomplishment, and he likes to see the playful and cute appearance of his daughter the most.

In fact, he regretted it a little. After sending his daughter to school, he spent much less time playing with her every day, so he really wanted to go to school with her.

The little guy tied up his hair, sneaked a glance towards Liu Heming, and then put on his little boots.Liu Heming pretended not to see it, knowing that his daughter wanted to find Xiao Chongchong to play in the water.The water is cold now, as long as she doesn't go swimming in it.

While discussing with Liu Yi how the zoo should pass the inspection "reasonably", Alex ran back from the outside again, carrying a large lotus on his shoulder.

"Father, is this edible?" The little guy came to Liu Heming and asked, holding the lotus pod in front of him.

"How do you know this is edible?" Liu Heming asked curiously.

"Grandpa Chen said it in school." The little guy said seriously.

"Haha, I'm afraid you just remember what you can eat." Liu Heming said with a smile as he held the little guy into his arms.

Alex is a little shy, but people still want to taste the taste of this big lotus.

"This is called a lotus pod, and there are lotus seeds in it. The lotus seeds are edible, but you have to deal with them first. By the way, there should be delicious lotus root under that lake. Dad will go dig it for you and make it delicious." Liu Heming broke the lotus pod. Bring out a lotus seed for my daughter to play with.

Now the lotus on the other side of the lotus lake has withered long ago, and the rest are all standing lotus pods.The lotus root buried in the mud of the pond is a good thing. I am used to living here, so I haven't eaten it for a long time.I don't know if the lotus root in my pond is big enough and tastes good.

Anyway, my daughter is resting today, so I can make some lotus root for her.Here in the United States, even in some supermarkets run by Chinese, lotus root is rarely seen.

Picking lotus root is not so easy.So much water in his own pond was poured in with great difficulty, and he didn't want to let the water out, so he had to dig lotus roots at the edge of the pond where the water was shallow.

Although the current water has been basking in the sun for a long time, he still felt a chill when he entered the water.If it was in summer, it would be very comfortable, but in this season, it would be a bit of a pain.

The water was a little deep, and he took a few breaths to touch the lotus root in the mud under the pond.It seemed to be quite thick, and after grasping it tightly, he pulled it hard, and he pulled the three-section lotus root up from below.

It can only be said that he really doesn't know how to pick lotus root, and he doesn't have the skills. Anyway, he grabs it out when he touches it, regardless of whether he can get the whole lotus root out.

"Dad, it's so dirty." Looking at the silt on the lotus root, Alex, who was looking forward to it, was a little disappointed.

"Don't worry." Liu Heming said with a smile, and started washing in the pond.

After a while, the three-sectioned lotus root showed its true colors, a circle thicker than Alex's arm, white and tender, slightly yellow.

This time Alex became interested, and after taking the lotus root that Liu Heming handed over, he just looked at it curiously, not knowing what to say.

Liu Heming broke off a section, peeled off a part of the lotus root skin with a knife, then cut off a few pieces of Bai Shengsheng's lotus root, and put one of them into the girl's wide open mouth.

The slices of lotus root are not too small, but Alex wiped out the slice of lotus root with just a few mouthfuls.

"Crispy, sticky, and a little sweet." The little guy commented.

This is the first time for the little guy to eat lotus root. Although the sweetness is not very strong, the little guy likes the crispy taste, and the remaining two slices are also eaten by the little guy in his little belly.

These lotus roots grow well probably because the pond mud is very fat.Liu Heming fished for a while, and got out about ten knots.Some lotus roots are fat and thick, as thick as his arms.

The skins that were dug out later were yellower than those dug at the beginning, and the taste was much better.Let Liu Heming, a rookie who is new to lotus root, know that this kind of yellowish skin is a mature lotus root.

Lian Kang took the lotus roots back with him in his arms, and then he set them up.They are the main course for today's dinner, and they can't be wasted if they are dug out.Anyway, he is also one of the Water Eight Immortals, and that is also a famous existence.

Even though Alex still wanted to eat lotus root as a fruit, Liu Heming didn't dare to feed her too much, so let the little guy fry the lotus root by himself.

After chopping the minced meat and simmering it on the side, he began to process the lotus root.

Slices of lotus root slices were cut out, and Alex who was standing next to him wanted to steal a few pieces.But what was more interested in her than her was the Tiejia group who ran back from their normal business, squatting on the side and tilting their heads to look at these lotus root slices.

Liu Heming grabbed a piece and handed it to Erha, Erha happily bit it.Not to mention, Erha is very fond of lotus root slices. After eating them on his paws, he kept licking his tongue, and his eyes continued to look at the lotus root slices that Liu Heming had cut out.

Liu Heming had no choice but to give it another slice.The two on the side are also very hot-eyed, and their tails are about to shake off.Let Alex take care of them, and these lotus root slices have to be stuffed and breaded.

The small pot on the side was set up, and the pork ribs and lotus root soup was stewed. He also peeled a few lotus seeds and threw them into it.After the oil in the pan here is heated up, the lotus root slices stuffed with meat are quickly coated with flour and thrown into the oil pan.

Alix sniffed with her little nose, and accurately grasped the aroma of the lotus root in the oil pan, and then waited aside with a small plate.

Liu Heming used a spoon to turn over the lotus root clips in the oil pan several times, then took out the fried lotus root clips with a colander, and put them on Alex's plate.

The little guy would not eat secretly, but ran to Sasha who was resting in the living room with a plate, and wanted to share it with his mother.

Crisp and delicious, this is Sasha's first feeling after eating the lotus root clip.And the crunchy taste seems to be the feeling that the more you chew, the more you like it.With a few slices of lotus root clips, the mother and wife didn't bother at all, and they finished eating with a sigh of relief.

This time there was no need for Alex to do anything, Sasha ran to Liu Heming's side with the plate, and waited for the next pot with Alex.

Don't look at Sasha is also the mother of the child, and now she is also spoiled by Liu Heming.Especially when I was at home, I didn't feel like an adult at all.Anyway, if it was in the past, she would never be like this, waiting by the stove to eat.

Another two plates of lotus root slices were fried out, and the girls ate up nothing wasted.

"You can stop for a while, there is lotus root ribs soup on the side, and I want to drink some at night." Liu Heming said helplessly.

He didn't expect fried lotus root slices to be so popular. It seems that he can consider launching them in his own restaurant, otherwise there will be so many lotus roots under the pond.

Sasha was a little embarrassed. In fact, she would never have been so greedy in the past.But today I don't know what's wrong, after eating it, I feel that the taste of this is very good.The fried lotus root slices are not regarded as a dish at all, this is a snack.

Liu Heming didn't favor one over another, he changed the pot, the oil, and the beef stuffing, and fried some for Haya.Don't look at it as a princess, but also a snack. I often watch others eagerly when they eat.It's just that she can enjoy fried lotus root slices, but she has no chance to enjoy lotus root ribs soup.

The crispness of the lotus root slices also made this girl like it very much. They said that when you go back, you must take some more with you, and fry them yourself when you go home.

Liu Heming didn't even cook rice today, just these fried lotus root clips and lotus root pork rib soup.Even though Sasha and Alex's wife had already eaten a lot, they still didn't lose their appetite when it was time to eat.

This fried lotus root clip looks greasy, but when you actually eat it in your mouth, it is not oily at all.The crunchy lotus root, with a faint fragrance of lotus root, is just right with the fresh aroma of the meat filling.

Eat a few slices of lotus root, drink a few mouthfuls of lotus root pork rib soup, eat a small rib, pick up a few slices of stewed lotus root, there is a small pile of bones next to Alex.

"Dad, it's delicious. Can I take it to school for the children to eat together?" Alex asked seriously after eating and drinking, looking at Liu Heming.

"Of course you can. Dad will arrange for someone to harvest some next year." Liu Heming said happily.

It's good that the daughter has such an idea, and it makes him very happy.It's just that harvesting lotus roots is estimated to be a bit laborious, and the outer ones are better. In those places with deep water inside, I'm afraid we need to get some diving equipment to harvest them.

But this is nothing to worry about, otherwise these lotus roots would be a waste.
