Chapter 620: Oil Cake and Alfalfa

Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, soft and fragrant, extremely sweet, and with a strange fragrance in it. Just one bite made Du Mengnan completely fall in love with this authentic northern staple food.

Looking at Du Mengnan, the others all chose the oil cake with bean paste filling. They didn't even look at the oil cake with plain filling that Meng Feiyan mentioned.

Zhao Xinyu came in and was slightly startled when he saw the empty yellow cake basin. He looked at Liu Fengying and said, "All the vegetarian cakes are finished."

Liu Fengying pursed her lips and smiled, "People also said that you left too little. If you want to eat, just steam it."

Zhao Xinyu laughed and looked at Luo Xiao and the others, "Grandpa Luo, this cake is pretty good."

“It’s delicious, but there’s a little bit left in the vegetarian cake.”

Zhao Xinyu nodded and said, "Save more for next time." While speaking, Zhao Xinyu stretched out his chopsticks and picked up an oil cake with plain filling, which made everyone stunned.

At this moment, they were all immersed in the wonderful taste of the bean paste filling. Zhao Xinyu, who was making the cake, did not touch the bean paste filling, but chose the vegetarian filling that no one of them would eat, which surprised them all.

"Dad, I want to eat too."

Zhao Xinyu glanced at Liu Wanting, whose face was full of oil stains, laughed, added a plain stuffed one and put it in Liu Wanting's bowl. "Wanting, I ate some oil cakes."

"I ate one. I wanted to eat mutton steamed cake, but my mother ignored me."

Zhao Xinyu's expression suddenly became strange, and Liu Fengying's face was full of embarrassment. The mutton cake tasted so good, and she also thought that the child would not like it, so she just gave Liu Wanting a few pieces of mutton and other dishes. Eat yellow cake for Liu Wanting.

Zhao Xinyu looked at Meng Mingcheng, Meng Mingzhi, and Zhao Huaian, but found that the three sons were also pitiful, with their little mouths curled up like oil spoons.

The appearance of these little guys made Liu Fengying, Du Mengnan, and Guan Bingtong very embarrassed, and the others couldn't help but feel happy.

Zhao Xinyu laughed and gave each person an oil cake with plain fillings, "Eat the oil cake."

Smiles appeared on the faces of the four little guys, and they each took the vegetarian oil cakes and ate them. The next moment, everyone couldn't help but turn their heads to look at the vegetarian oil cakes in the hands of the four little guys.

They smelled a strange fragrance that was unbearable. They saw purple, green, golden, and white colors inside the golden oil cake, which were mixed together, giving them a visual impact.

The most unbearable thing for them is the aroma of the vegetarian stuffing. This smell is no less than any dish on the table, and this is the first time they smell it. Just the aroma makes people who have eaten almost swallow it. A few mouthfuls of saliva.

Knowing that the vegetarian stuffing is delicious, everyone stretched out their chopsticks at the same time, and the plate of vegetable stuffed oil cakes became empty in an instant. Zhao Xinyu's waist was twisted hard by Liu Fengying and Du Mengnan on both sides.

This made Zhao Xinyu very speechless. He made two kinds of fried cakes with two kinds of fillings and brought them over. They didn't eat them. Now they all blamed themselves, and Zhao Xinyu was very hurt.

Zheng Min ate a vegetable-filled oil cake and looked at Zhao Xinyu with excitement in her eyes, "Xinyu, when will this vegetable-filled oil cake be launched at Wuyou Restaurant?"

"Next year, I'll plant more millet next year."

"How to prepare this kind of vegetarian stuffing? We can make stuffing into steamed buns and dumplings. I dare say others will not be able to make this kind of stuffing."

Du Mengnan sighed with enjoyment on his face, "Sister Min is right, with this kind of vegetarian filling, dumplings and steamed buns will definitely be popular."

Zhao Xinyu laughed and said, "Sister Min, if this kind of stuffing is wrapped in dumplings or steamed buns, the taste will definitely change, and it won't be as fragrant."

When he said it, people's eyes widened. The same stuffing can taste different when wrapped in different staple foods.

"why is that?"

"Oil cakes need to be deep-fried at high temperatures to maximize the flavor of the vegetarian fillings. Buns and dumplings are steamed, so the taste is a little worse than oil cakes."

Zheng Min couldn't help but shake her head. At this moment, Zheng Min was a world-famous top chef, but in front of Zhao Xinyu, Zheng Min was often like a beginner. She had never heard of many things Zhao Xinyu said.

Seeing Zheng Min's look, Zhao Xinyu chuckled and said, "Don't go back this afternoon. I'll teach you how to make various fillings. Although the oil cake may not be as good as the oil cake, people should be able to accept it."

"What ingredients are needed for this vegetarian stuffing?"

"Anything can be used, leeks, mushrooms, ground vegetables, and fungus. But if you say the best taste, it is the combination of leeks, ground vegetables, eggs, and mushrooms."

Having said this, Zhao Xinyu suddenly froze for a moment, patted his head, and showed a trace of regret on his face.

"What's wrong?"

"Why did I forget about alfalfa? It tastes great when used as stuffing or cold dishes."

When he said this, not only Du Mengnan and the others, but also Zheng Min's eyes widened with disbelief.

"You're just talking nonsense. Alfalfa is fodder and only cattle and sheep eat it. How can people eat that kind of thing?" Du Mengnan gave Zhao Xinyu a big roll of his eyes.

Zhao Xinyu shook his head, "You don't understand this, Han Jun. Those villages have been planting alfalfa in rotation. Is there any alfalfa that has just emerged now?"

"Yes, there are a few patches of alfalfa sprouting up in Fengjiazhuang."

Zhao Xinyu nodded, "Sure, I'll go out to get some in the afternoon and let you taste the taste of alfalfa in the evening. Don't think that alfalfa is just a feed. In fact, alfalfa is also a top-quality food ingredient."

As soon as he said this, everyone looked at each other in confusion. Not only the young people, but also Luo Xiao, Meng Lie, Du Gang, and Guan Zhentian all had doubts in their eyes.

"Are you going to eat yellow cake mutton tonight?"

Zhao Xinyu was slightly startled and looked at Zhao Shiming, "Brother Ming, yellow cake and oatmeal noodles are both staple foods to fight hunger. If you want to eat yellow cake mutton, you have to work hard in the afternoon. Besides, don't you have to open a food stall in the evening? You can come."

"Tomorrow, this yellow cake will be delicious. You are not making alfalfa, we..."

""Okay, come back tomorrow. ""

After chatting for a while, Han Jun and the others left, and Zheng Min went to Fengjiazhuang with Zhao Xinyu, Du Mengnan, Liu Fengying, and Guan Bingtong.

Looking at the flocks of yellow sheep, sika deer, and flying pheasants in the alfalfa fields, Zhao Xinyu was very excited.

"Zhao Xinyu, can you eat this sika deer?" Du Mengnan asked with a smile.

Zhao Xinyu laughed, "Venison is a delicacy. It is tender, delicious, lean, and has less connective tissue. In the past, only the royal family could eat venison. Venison is sweet, warm in nature, and returns to the spleen." , kidney meridian, it has the effects of replenishing qi, supporting yang, nourishing blood and dispelling wind. It is often used to win weight due to fatigue, backache, and stroke."

Zhao Xinyu's words made Du Mengnan and the other two people stunned for a moment. They thought that venison was just a meat dish, but they didn't realize that venison was also a kind of traditional Chinese medicine.

"Zhao Xinyu, this venison is still a traditional Chinese medicine. Why haven't I heard you talk about it?" Liu Fengying said with a smile.

Zhao Xinyu chuckled, "Go back and ask Wanting and the others and see what they say."

"Xinyu, I haven't heard of this venison being sold in that hotel."

Zhao Xinyu looked at Zheng Min, "Sister Min, venison is one of the main ingredients of Shangbazhen. Later, the number of sika deer decreased sharply, and now it has become a protected animal. Who dares to sell it? After a period of time, after sawing off the antlers, I’ll cook venison for you to try.”

Although Zhao Xinyu didn't say how to cook it, it sounded different to Zheng Min and the others. The four of them instantly had an appetite, and they were thinking about the taste of venison in their minds.

While chatting, they came to the edge of a field of alfalfa that had just emerged. The alfalfa in the field was only more than three inches high and had not covered the farmland. Du Mengnan looked at the alfalfa in the field and looked at Zhao Xinyu.

"How do you do this? Pull them all out."

Zhao Xinyu laughed and said, "If you pull it up, I don't have to come out. You pull out one plant and I will teach you how to pick that part."

When they returned to Wenying Pavilion, each of Du Mengnan and the others were carrying two large bags of picked alfalfa sprouts.

Putting the sprouts in the kitchen, Du Mengnan looked at Zhao Xinyu, "How do you eat this?"

Zhao Xinyu chuckled, "You'll find out tonight. I'll teach Sister Min how to prepare vegetarian stuffing first."

"I'm also learning. When I want to eat fried cakes one day, I'll make my own vegetarian fillings."

Throughout the afternoon, Zhao Xinyu continued to prepare the stuffing and told Zheng Min the preparation of the stuffing and the heat of the crust.

Zheng Min listened with great interest, but Liu Fengying was confused and finally left the kitchen in a daze.

As evening approached, Zheng Min left happily carrying a large bag of alfalfa sprouts, which surprised Du Mengnan and the others.

When Du Mengnan and the others entered the restaurant at night, they were all slightly startled. They smelled a strange fragrance. There was a small pot of dark green cold dishes on each dining table. The cold dishes had soup, just like people's favorite drink. Bitter vegetable soup is strange.

"This is a cold dish made from alfalfa, try it"

Du Mengnan couldn't wait to take a chopstick, and the alfalfa was refreshing in the mouth. The tender taste contained a hint of elegant fragrance. After eating it, the sweat pores all over the body relaxed, and there was an indescribable feeling of comfort.

“Delicious, really delicious.”

Here Meng Feiyan and the others came over again with fried dishes. There was only some soup left in the two small pots of alfalfa.

"Auntie, do you still have alfalfa? Get some more. It's so delicious."

Meng Feiyan chuckled, "Xinyu knew that you would like it, so he made a lot of it. I will bring it to you right now."

After adjusting the alfalfa for a while, not only Du Mengnan and the others, but also beings like Luo Xiao and the others couldn't help but sigh.

They were all famous people in the past and had eaten all kinds of cuisines, but this was their first time eating alfalfa. Before that, they didn't even know that alfalfa could be used for cooking.

"I have lived my entire life thinking that alfalfa can only be fed to cattle and sheep, but I never thought that this alfalfa would be so delicious."

"Rob, Xinyu said that alfalfa can also clean up impurities in blood vessels. If you eat it regularly, you don't need to worry about cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases."
