Farmhouse pretty cook

Chapter 358 The Return of Su Zhai (2)
Others in the dining hall also tried to dissuade him.But Mu Xiang insisted on refusing to leave, "To tell you the truth, I'm not a rich lady, I'm just an out-and-out cook, I can do more kitchen work than you, you guys, just watch from the sidelines." Come on, if you don’t expect it, you’ll know when it comes out.”

Mu Xiang took the wooden basin and walked to the place where the grain was piled up, as if looking for something.

The little monk who led Mu Xiang in walked over slowly, "Benefactor, what are you looking for? We will help you find it." Knowing that she had to cook, the little monk didn't stop her.

Mu Xiang thought for a while, "I'm looking for glutinous rice, do you have any mushrooms here, if so, bring me some, and besides, bring all the vegetables you have here, let me make you a whole vegetarian feast !"

She spoke with great pride, but the little monk heard cold sweat on his forehead.

"Donor, there are not many vegetables in winter. Apart from these Chinese cabbages, there are only spinach. There are mushrooms, but there are not many."

Leiming Temple lacks resources, and there are not many edible vegetables on the island. In addition, it is winter, and the only edible thing, except cabbage, is tofu.

The tofu here is ground by the young monks themselves. It is very firm and tastes good.

Mu Xiang fully felt it, what is a clever woman who can't cook without rice, "You call Wu Qing for me, he can definitely get what you don't have here."

The little monk took the order and went out, and in the time it took to turn around, Wu Qing came, and he was outside the Zhaitang.

Knowing what Mu Xiang meant, the corners of Wu Qing's mouth twitched. He really never forgets to cook wherever he goes!
The boat they brought was packed with a lot of things.

Wu Qing brought several kinds of mushrooms, as well as radishes, potatoes, and yams.In fact, there are mutton and beef, but they cannot be taken.

Mu Xiang looked at the ingredients on the table and smiled, "Today our staple food is siu mai and flower rolls. As for vegetarian dishes, everyone will know when it's time to eat. Two people come over and help me."

Mu Xiang began to direct the two young monks to wash vegetables, choose vegetables, and wash rice.

Even Wu Qing couldn't escape, he was responsible for lighting the fire.Anyway, staying at Mu's house recently, he has done a lot of work on lighting fires, and he is very proficient.

To make flower rolls, the steps are still the same, but you can’t put chives, and pickles are used instead of woody.

Cut the small pickles into powder and mix with chili sauce.After the dough is kneaded, first spread a layer of vegetable oil on the surface, and then sprinkle a layer of pickles mixed with chopped chili sauce.

Then roll up the noodles and wind them into a pattern, then cut them into squares with a knife, and then they can be steamed in a pan.

Mu Xiang put the prepared flower rolls on a clean cage drawer, and glutinous rice was steaming in two large pots on the other side.

"Look, cut the shiitake mushrooms into small pieces, add some diced radish and diced potatoes, these two ingredients need to be marinated with salt first, otherwise they will be mixed into the stuffing, and water will come out."

While cooking, Mu Xiang carefully explained to the young monks.

The two young monks who worked with her were very young, about the same as Erdan Liu.

The two of them were amazed when they saw the plates of ingredients that Mu Xiang made.

"I thought that as long as the dishes are cooked, I didn't expect that there are so many things to pay attention to!"

"I didn't expect to roll out the dough, put oil and vegetables on it, and steam it in a pan!"

Mu Xiang smiled and said: "There are many ways to cook. Even if it's just vegetarian food, there are many tricks here. You two are in charge of the vegetarian food, right?"

"That's right, my name is Mingzhen, and his name is Mingshan. Both of us are responsible for cooking the food in the temple, that is..." Mingzhen smiled embarrassedly, "It's just that the food is not delicious, although the brothers Don't say it, but we know that before I became a monk, my family couldn't even eat white noodles, so how could I do it!"

Ming Shan, who was beside him, also smiled honestly, "Master, the old man also said that monks don't pay attention to food, as long as they can fill their stomachs."

Seeing the simple smiles of the two of them, Mu Xiang felt inexplicably better, "Your master is right, but you have to say it from two aspects. Although monks don't need to pay attention to food, if you can recruit more people for the monastery A lot of pilgrims, and a lot of sesame oil money, can't help more people, it's better than the deserted temple now, right?"

The two thought about it, and it seemed that she was right.

"Then let's try to make the food better?"

"Would that really attract pilgrims? To be honest, if His Royal Highness King Xiang didn't often help, the reserve in our temple would have been empty long ago," Ming Shan said, his eyes turning red.

Mu Xiang was extremely surprised. From the outside, this Leiming Temple looks magnificent and imposing!Why did it fall to the point where there was no food to eat?
"Does your master often give alms to people nearby?" This is the only key that Mu Xiang can think of.

Mingzhen sighed like a grown-up, "My master has to go to give alms every month. He has to prepare fifty catties of rice and fifty catties of white flour to distribute to the poor. If things go on like this, no matter how much food is stored, it will not be enough!"

Mu Xiang nodded and patted the two of them on the shoulders, "I thought that the important task of revitalizing Leiming Temple will be entrusted to you. As long as you make vegetarian dishes, I guarantee that many pilgrims will come here. Not only that, but you can also Learning to make medicinal food is also very simple, your master should understand the principles of medicine, I think you two are quite smart, if you study hard, you will definitely succeed."

Ming Zhen and Ming Shan were overjoyed when she told them, they were still young, so naturally they didn't have the stamina of an old monk, young people!It's natural to want to do something.

After the glutinous rice in the pot is steamed, take it out and let it cool.

Mu Xiang taught them how to mix the stuffing made of mushrooms into the steamed glutinous rice stuffing, and then wrap the stuffing with the rolled dough.

This bread is required to be very thin, thinner than the dumpling skin, otherwise the taste of the siu mai will be greatly reduced.

The flower rolls are also put on the steamer. After covering the lid, just turn the fire to the hottest, and that's it.

There are also a few vegetables, and when it's the turn of the tofu.

Mu Xiang said to them: "If you make tofu yourself, you can try to pick out some tofu skins from the tofu, and you can pick out a thousand pieces of skin, or else, press the tofu thinner and it will become dried tofu. , Just one soy product can produce more than a dozen tricks, and the dishes made with them have a very different taste."
