Chapter 103 Where does the rice come from ([-]st update please vote)
Xu Man smiled and introduced seriously: "Tofu is the protagonist today, and the rest of the dishes are just accompaniments, so they are all home-cooked dishes that I have eaten before."

"This potato shreds, this sweet potato flour, well, it is also a new member today, but because it is made from sweet potatoes, there is no special introduction."

"And this is spicy cabbage, this is shredded pork with green pepper, this is steamed fish..."

As Xu Man introduced them one by one, Ying Zheng discovered that except tofu and sweet potato noodles, the rest were all he had eaten in the past few days.

Especially the shredded pork with green pepper, it is the dish he has eaten the most these days.

Although it is not as full of meat as before, there are vegetables in the meat, and the way of eating meat in the vegetables is indeed more delicious than before.

And this steamed fish was used for dinner the day before yesterday.

He was originally worried that there were thorns inside and he was afraid of hurting himself, but he tried it carefully and found that there were not as many fish bones on it as he had imagined.

And it’s also very easy to spot and pick out.

Who knew that with this, Zulong would feel much more at ease when eating.

Of course, she didn't know that in order to prevent Zulong from being troubled by fish bones, Xu Man deliberately reminded the cook Yun'er to use fish with less bones for steaming.

"Okay, okay, these are my favorite foods, so let's have a meal."

After Ying Zheng listened to Jiu Daughter's introduction, he picked up his chopsticks and reached for the tofu in front of him.

He had carefully observed before that Xuman used a skillful technique when picking up the tofu, so he did not dare to use too much force, and imitated his daughter, choosing a corner to pick up.

Unfortunately, although I was prepared, I didn't master the strength and technique well, and I didn't take back the piece of tofu that I had pinched open the first time.

Instead, it fell to the edge of the bowl with a clatter and shattered into pieces.

When Zu Long saw the shredded tofu, he paused with a trace of embarrassment on his face.

However, this embarrassment was quickly broken by Xu Man.

"Father, you have a taste."

Xu Man picked up a piece of tofu himself, dipped it in the sauce and put it in Zulong's bowl. "If you like it, you can make it more often in the future." "Okay."

Ying Zheng suppressed his inner embarrassment, took the tofu sent by his daughter and brought it to his lips, along with the snow-white rice.

Well, the tofu is fresh and tender, tender and smooth, and it just melts in your mouth without any effort. With the sauce that I don’t know how to prepare, the taste is indescribably wonderful.

No matter how gentle the rice was, it instantly made Qiangu Yidi enjoy what life is.

In the past, eating was just to fill our stomachs.

Only after Xu Man started to take notice of him did he realize that eating was not just for fullness, but also for happiness, deliciousness, and the feeling that this life was not in vain.

"Well, Xu'er, what is this?"

After swallowing a mouthful of food, Ying Zheng looked at the full, crystal-white white rice in the bowl, "Father has never seen such food before."

"Father, this is rice."

Since Xu Man used it to cook and eat, he had no intention of hiding it.

She said truthfully: "This is rice cooked from the rice that is left after the rice, a specialty of the south, has matured, been harvested, threshed, and then hulled."

"Before it matures, it is rice. After it matures, it is threshed and it is called rice. After the rice is hulled, it is called rice."

"When rice is cooked, it's called rice, right? Sister Ninth."

Listening to Sister Ninth's explanation, Yin Man couldn't help but happily answered, "Father, isn't Yin Man very smart?"

"Hahaha...yes, yes, my Princess Yangzi is not smart."

After hearing what the child said, Ying Zheng couldn't help laughing heartily, and looked at several ministers, "Stop looking at it and try it quickly. This thing is only available in Huazhang."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, His Highness Huazhang."
