Chapter 224 Bai Yi
The next day, Xia Shiyu took the prepared eggs to the street and, once there, laid out the vegetables and eggs as usual.
"Everyone can see that these are all freshly laid eggs, and the vegetables are also fresh."
Regular customers gathered around and began selecting from the laid-out vegetables and eggs.
Most people bought eggs, since eggs are not like other vegetables that can be supplied in a long time; they are always in limited quantities.
Some people even asked about the chickens and ducks, "Boss Xia, when will your chickens and ducks be ready? You can sell a couple when they're ready."
"Yes, yes, I haven't had any yet. If the eggs and duck eggs are so delicious, the chicken and duck must taste even better."
"When they're ripe, you must bring two to sell so we can have a taste."
Xia Shiyu nodded, "Don't worry, everyone. We've raised more chickens, ducks, and rabbits this year, so you'll all be able to eat some then."
"Okay, okay, then I can rest assured."
After Xia Shiyu had been selling for a while, Ding Liu arrived. Once the crowd had thinned out, she came over.
"Hello, Mr. Xia! Oh, you still have a whole tray of eggs left, why don't you just give them all to me?"
"Okay," Xia Shiyu carefully packed the eggs for her, and then took out three buckets of rapeseed oil.
"Here, shall I help you carry this gas to your car?"
"If it's possible, thank you so much. My car is over there, Mr. Xia, please come with me."
"Okay, it's nothing, just doing it on the spur of the moment."
Xia Shiyu helped carry the items a couple of steps and put them in the trunk of the car.
"Thank you, Boss Xia." Ding Liu said goodbye to Xia Shiyu and went back.
After Xia Shiyu went back and sold all the remaining vegetables, he also went home.
When Liang Hui was about to leave in the afternoon, she started packing her things and putting them in the trunk.
"Aunt Liang, here are the two buckets of rapeseed oil you requested, along with some dried flowers, fresh vegetables, and some freshly picked tomatoes. You can also take some eggs and some dried radishes that we made."
Xia Shiyu then took out a bunch of things and had them take them away.
Looking at the overflowing contents, Liang Hui felt that her trunk was about to burst open.
"That's enough, that's enough. My parents already packed a lot of things, this is too much."
Then, after saying that, they demanded money.
Xia Shiyu said, "Auntie, 300 is fine with you."
"Is it really that cheap? I remember your vegetables weren't cheap at all."
Liang Hui wanted to type more, but Xia Shiyu stopped her from typing.
"Please don't do that, Auntie, this is enough."
"Okay then, Auntie will come to play with you again next time."
Liang Hui patted her daughter again, "Xiao Tao, quickly say goodbye to your sister and auntie."
Xiao Tao greeted them sweetly, "Goodbye Auntie, goodbye Sister."
"Okay, goodbye," Xia Shiyu bowed and said goodbye to Xiao Tao.
Liang Hui took Xiao Tao home, and her husband, who had been away on a business trip, returned home afterward.
"You're back from your business trip? You'll probably be here for the next few days."
Bai Yi helped carry the things. He picked up two buckets of rapeseed oil and said, "Yes, I've been away on business for a while, but I won't have to go on business trips anymore. That way, I can stay home and help take care of Xiao Tao, and you won't have to keep going back to bother your parents-in-law."
Liang Hui was also carrying some things in her hands. "It wasn't too much trouble. When I got back home, my parents were quite happy, and Xiao Tao had a very pleasant weekend without making a fuss."
"Oh, really?" Bai Yi looked at his daughter.
At that moment, she took the initiative to hug a large jar of candy, and nodded her little head when she heard her father ask her a question.
"Yes, Dad, I'm so happy! I ate so many delicious things this weekend, and my sister gave me candy too."
She held up the sugar jar in her hand.
"Oh, and there's candy too, that's great."
Bai Yi agreed with her for a couple of minutes and then asked his wife what had happened.
"Actually, it's not that bad. She's just my parents' neighbor. I'm somewhat acquainted with her. Her daughter is quite capable. She came back to contract land, probably wanting to become a new type of farmer. The vegetables she grows are quite delicious. We ate some of her vegetables this week. My parents have sent some a few times before. The radish soup you like is from her."
Upon hearing this, Bai Yi remembered, "Oh, I see. That's quite impressive. The food was really delicious."
Liang Hui pressed the elevator button. "That's right. And I brought back a lot of good stuff this time. Those two buckets of rapeseed oil in your hand were pressed from rapeseed that they grew themselves."
"Really? That's really amazing. It must taste great. I'm already looking forward to it. I'll fry some lotus root fritters later."
He loves lotus root, especially lotus root sandwiches. Coated in starch and minced meat, they're deep-fried until golden brown—they're incredibly tempting!
Liang Hui was more than happy for him to cook; she was quite tired after driving for several hours to get back. "Okay, then you can cook for us tonight."
"no problem."
Bai Yi happily agreed.
Soon after the family arrived home, Liang Hui went to unpack, while Xiao Tao hugged her candy, opened it, and began to eat it with relish.
Liang Hui saw her and reached out her hand, "We agreed that you can only eat a little each day, not too much, and you have to rinse your mouth and brush your teeth after eating."
Xiao Tao froze upon hearing her mother's words, and then reluctantly handed the things back to her mother.
"Okay, Mom, I'll eat later." Then she ran off to brush her teeth.
Bai Yi was unaware of these things; he was preparing to clean the lotus roots and then cook.
Putting everything else aside, the lotus root must be washed thoroughly inside, otherwise it will be muddy and very dirty when you eat it.
He even bought special tools for cleaning lotus roots, put them in and scrubbed them carefully, and after cutting them open, he rinsed them with water several times and kept scrubbing them.
After cleaning, you can set it aside to rinse with clean water and start preparing the filling.
Mince the meat thoroughly, add scallions and garlic, place it on a slice of lotus root, then press it down with another slice of lotus root. Add a few egg whites to the prepared wet starch. The eggs used were the ones Liang Hui brought back, and the yolks were not wasted.
Crack the egg yolks directly into the bowl next to you and fry them.
Once everything is ready, heat the oil in a wok over medium heat, then pour in the opened rapeseed oil.
As soon as I opened Baiyi, I thought the color was so beautiful, and I was immediately tempted.
Only when the oil was put into the pan did he truly appreciate its wonder.
As the oil in the pot slowly boiled with the rising temperature, Bai Yi picked up a piece of lotus root, coated it with wet starch, and put it into the oil. It sizzled and released a fragrant aroma.
Once they are golden brown and cooked through, remove them from the oil and set them aside to cool.
When all the fried eggs were ready, Bai Yi himself was overwhelmed by the aroma.
"It smells so good."
As he spoke, he couldn't resist taking a bite. "Mmm~, delicious, delicious, just the right amount of saltiness, really good."
