After crossing, I was miserable.

Chapter 514 Show your hand

Just when a few people were chatting happily, spring, summer, autumn and winter came.

"Miss, the eldest master said that he has almost finished talking, and they are going to have a meal. The eldest master asked the kitchen to prepare the young ladies' portions. Miss, do you want to bring it here?"

"What's in the kitchen?"

"To answer the young lady, these are all dishes that the young ladies like to eat. I also made some dishes that can relieve the summer heat."

Although it is already autumn, the hot summer weather seems to have not yet dissipated. The sky is still as blue as a gem, and the sun shines through the thin clouds and sprinkles on the earth.

The breeze did not bring the coolness and freshness as imagined, but instead a warm air flow, as if the afterglow of summer was still stubbornly resisting the change of seasons.

The leaves turned slightly yellow, but they did not fall on a large scale. Only occasionally a few leaves that could not stand the loneliness danced quietly in the wind and finally fell gently to the ground.

"We are not picky eaters, we can eat anything. You know what, your chefs are better than those in the palace."

Sun Xinyan smiled jokingly, "You talk as if you eat it often."

"Hehe, that's not the case. I just ate it once during the New Year last year when the emperor gave me some food. The taste was just so-so, not as good as I imagined."

Qian Duoduo didn't have a big appetite and wanted to eat some refreshing dishes.

In the autumn in the north, there are many mouth-watering, refreshing and delicious dishes waiting for people to taste.

The first thing we have to mention is the crispy and refreshing shredded radish mixed with jellyfish skin. Cut the fresh white radish into thin strips, marinate it with salt to remove excess water, mix it with the soaked jellyfish skin, add minced garlic, coriander, sesame oil, soy sauce and other seasonings and mix well.

With one bite, the sweetness of the radish and the crispness of the jellyfish skin blend perfectly, refreshing and appetizing.

The classic spicy and sour shredded potato is also a common dish on autumn tables.

Peel and shred the yellow potatoes, rinse with water to remove the starch on the surface, and then quickly stir-fry in hot oil until cooked, then add appropriate amounts of vinegar, chili and salt to season. This simple home-cooked dish has a crisp taste, sour and spicy, and is very memorable.

In addition, stir-fried beans also have a unique flavor. Select fresh and green long beans, cut them into sections, and stir-fry them with garlic cloves over high heat. The fragrance of the beans and the aroma of garlic are intertwined after they are fried, making them delicious and go well with rice.

Of course, if you want some hot soup, then cabbage and tofu soup is the best choice.

Wash and cut the juicy Chinese cabbage into strips, add the white and tender tofu cubes and cook them into a pot of delicious soup. Drinking a bowl of it not only warms your stomach but also makes you feel the strong autumn atmosphere.

However, most of the dishes here are vegetables and cabbage, and there are not many varieties.

"Have you ever eaten potatoes?" Qian Duoduo turned around and asked Sun Xinyan and Bai Ningning.

"What is that?"

When did potatoes, this magical food, come to our ancient and vast land of China? According to historical data and related research, potatoes were introduced to later generations around the 17th century.

At that time, with the advancement of globalization and the increasing trade between countries, many new species began to spread across oceans and borders.

Potatoes are one of them. They may have first entered some coastal areas of China through channels such as Western missionaries, merchants and explorers.

However, the spread of potatoes in China was not smooth sailing. Due to its different appearance from traditional crops and people's lack of understanding of this foreign crop, it was not widely planted and accepted at the beginning.

But after a period of trial and promotion, people gradually discovered that potatoes have many advantages, such as strong adaptability, easy cultivation, high yield and rich nutrition.

As time went by, potatoes slowly took root and sprouted all over China and became one of the common ingredients on ordinary people's tables.

Whether it is boiled, roasted or made into various delicious dishes, potatoes are loved by everyone. Nowadays, potatoes have been deeply integrated into the Chinese food culture and become an indispensable part.

I don’t know which later dynasty this small world refers to, but at present there are no species of potatoes and potatoes.

It may also be that the war has just ended for more than ten years, and there are not many supplies. Maybe there are some in other places, but there are none in the capital at the moment.

Qian Duoduo's plan for the coming year is to help Father Yang plant more potatoes. If the planting is successful, he can use his identity to promote it throughout Da Chu, so that the people can have two more cheap and filling foods.

"Are you two hungry now?"

Both men shook their heads.

"Well, you guys should eat less cakes and pastries to fill your stomach. Today I will show you my skills."

"By the way, Qiudong, please get me some seafood, and I want a bigger king crab."

"Yes, Miss. Do you have any other seafood?"

"Okay, you can prepare some for me."

"Wow, Duoduo, are you finally going to show off your skills? I heard from my brother that the two recipes you sold him made his small restaurant earn a lot of money. You're the originator of spicy food."

"It's not that exaggerated. Chili peppers have been around for a long time, but they are mostly used as medicinal herbs. It's just that few people try to cook with them."

"Hey, how did you come up with the idea of ​​using spicy peppers to cook?" Bai Ningning was very curious, mainly because she really liked spicy taste.

Ever since she tasted a dish with a unique spicy flavor, she felt like she was under a spell, completely changing her perception and preference for food taste.

The dishes that had once been bland and unexciting now paled in the memory of her taste buds, as if they had lost all their charm and appeal.

The strong taste impact brought by the spicy dish was like a storm sweeping through her mouth. Every bite made her feel the heat and passion intertwined on the tip of her tongue.

This unprecedented experience made her unable to stop, and she has since fallen deeply obsessed with spicy food.

Nowadays, whether she is instructing the servants at home to cook or going out to eat, she will give priority to dishes that provide strong and spicy flavors.

For her, if a meal is not garnished with chili, it is like a meal without soul, and people will not be interested in it at all.

Sometimes, just smelling a faint hint of spiciness in the air would instantly arouse her appetite and make her eager to feast on the food.

It can be said that she has truly become a person who "can't live without spicy food".

"Do you like spicy food so much?" Qian Duoduo asked maliciously.

"Of course, you can add more spicy food for me later. Oh, and Xinyan can't eat spicy food."

"Who said I can't eat it? I can eat it." Sun Xinyan argued that although she couldn't eat spicy food, she also liked spicy food. But she always cried after eating it.
