Chapter 500 Natural Disaster and War-torn World 48
After Lingxue returned, she began to copy the cuttings of sweet potato vines and potato sprouts they needed for the old general. She estimated that the amount would be enough for the old general's remaining land, so she stopped, and it only cost Lingxue. Three days.
When they met again, Ling Xue asked the old general to send someone to take away the prepared cuttings of sweet potato vines and potato sprouts.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Shen, for your generous help. I thank you so much, Mr. Shen!" The
old general saluted Ling Xue seriously, which frightened Ling Xue into hiding.
The two have known each other for so long, and Ling Xue has never seen the old general look so formal. Unexpectedly, he would go to this extent to prevent his soldiers from starving, which made Ling Xue sigh.
"With our friendship, I can still starve your soldiers. You are so polite!" Ling Xue quickly helped the old general up seriously.
The two stood opposite each other again and looked at each other. They were really not suitable for such a serious way of getting along. They couldn't help laughing when they looked at each other's awkward look.
Although the old general and the others are a little late in planting sweet potatoes and potatoes, they are not too far north and can still harvest normally when the weather is cold, but the yield may not be as good as what Lingxue normally grows. That’s all.
Since she relied on the protection of the old general, Ling Xue was not stingy. She said to the old general: "These relatively tender sweet potato tips can be eaten as vegetables. If you ask the soldiers to come over and pinch some when they are free, they will taste good." "
Ling Xue said and went to the field to demonstrate how to pinch the tips of sweet potatoes. While demonstrating, she explained how to make them delicious: "It doesn't need to be complicated. It's just like ordinary vegetables. Blanch it in boiling water and use some salt. Once mixed with oil, soy sauce and vinegar, it becomes a very delicious dish. Of course, if you like stir-fried dishes, it would also be nice to stir-fry them with oil." The old general followed Ling Xue as he pinched the sweet potato tips and asked a few questions
. , I learned it very seriously.
Although the old general is a big man, ordinary men do not cook, but this rule is not suitable for soldiers in the military camp.
All of these soldiers are good at cooking, but sometimes there is no one to cook for them when they go on missions. If you want to eat well, you have to do it yourself, so although not many people in western Zhejiang know how to cook it, they are good at it.
The old general was delighted with Ling Xue's sponsorship and immediately sent someone to pinch the tips of the sweet potatoes. He even went over to direct them personally, for fear that pinching too much would affect the yield of the sweet potatoes.
Ling Xue went to the nearby Zhuangzi to cook several dishes made of sweet potato tips, including blanched and cold dishes, stir-fried with chili peppers, and vegetable steamed buns made with flour.
For this reason, Ling Xue also specially prepared a garlic sauce, which is for dipping vegetables into steamed buns.
Finally, Ling Xue also made a soup with the inner leaves of the sweet potato, which looked very tempting.
Ling Xue's craftsmanship is pretty good. When the old general comes, Ling Xue's place is ready.
As soon as the old general entered the door, he saw the stone tables in the courtyard filled with food, which smelled delicious.
"You made this all with sweet potato tips? It smells good!"
Ling Xue is still very confident in her cooking skills. Although she cannot compare with those chefs, she is much better than ordinary people's cooking skills. .
"Isn't that right? These are all made by me. Come here, taste it and see how it compares with the cooking skills of your soldiers?" The
old general washed his hands in the basin and then stood opposite Ling Xue unceremoniously. Sit down!
