Chapter 676: Buy More Land
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Jiang Yue had wanted to make lemon chicken feet, but there was no one selling chicken feet. The market sold whole chickens. This was how it was in ancient times. There was no refrigerator, so there was no way to preserve chicken feet.
If she wanted to make chicken feet, she would have to kill a lot of chickens. How could she eat so many chickens at home? Forget it, she did not think about making that.
If she couldn’t make chicken feet, then she naturally couldn’t make lemon chicken wings or lemon chicken drumsticks.
Jiang Yue didn’t make anything else. She mainly wanted her family to know that lemons could also be added to the dishes. Not only did it make the taste refreshing, but it could also relieve the greasy taste in some dishes.
When Xue Dafu and the others came back, they saw a few dishes on the especially beautiful table. They looked like beautiful flowers, and their appetites were greatly stimulated. They knew that it was Jiang Yue who made it, so they wanted to try it. However, before they could even touch their chopsticks, they found that there were lemons in it, and they hesitated.
The taste of lemons was still fresh in their minds.
Especially Xue Erfu and Xue Dafu.
When they saw that Yu Hongyan and the others said that it was delicious and only a little sour, Xue Erfu and Xue Dafu dared to try it too. Then, they couldn’t stop eating.
It definitely was a little sour, but it was exceptionally delicious!
Not only did the lemon chicken look good, but it also had salty, sour, and sweet flavors. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the texture was very fragrant. The lemon ribs were sour and sweet, and the meat was especially tender and chewy.
The steamed lemon fish was even more delicious. There was no fishy smell at all and it was extremely fresh.
Usually, whenever Li Hehua and Shao Youyue ate fish, they would feel nauseous and want to vomit. However, when they ate this fish today, they did not feel that way at all. They said that it was very delicious.
The lemon braised pork was also excellent. It was not oily or greasy, and the texture was extremely fresh.
In any case, although Shao Youyue was sent to the back by Xia Han and the others for this meal, she ate half an extra bowl of rice, which made Xia Han and the others extremely happy.
Xue Yan knew that adding lemon would also be very delicious, but she didn’t expect that the flavor would be so unique. He even had an extra half bowl of rice so that he could eat more.
“This dish is…” Xue Erfu was very satisfied. “Mother, are you still worried that we won’t be able to finish the lemons at home?” Previously, his mother had sent them everywhere, thinking that there would definitely be more than enough food at home.
Unfortunately, everyone felt that it was too sour. Other than Tian’s family, no one else wanted it.
“Don’t worry, don’t worry.” Liu Guixia laughed.
“I’m sure that our two baskets of lemons won’t be there for long anymore. I
also thought that the six lemon trees were too much before, but I was afraid that it would be a waste.
“Other than the Qingshu family, no one else wanted them, so we ended up keeping all of them. Now that I look at the six lemon trees again, it might not be enough. If there were a lot of them, Sifu could even open a restaurant in the future and specialize in making these. The taste is too different to forget.”
“I’ve already eaten so much meat, but I’m not tired of it. Before, I was a little tired of eating so much meat every day.”
Xue Erfu smiled and spoke up.
“Don’t these lemons have seeds? They must be the same as oranges. These are their seeds. We’ll leave them there and plant more next year.
“Even if these seeds germinate, it’ll probably take three to four years before they can bear lemons. Trees need a long time to grow and bear fruits. Once Sifu knows about this, he would definitely be very happy. We don’t have to buy land to live in, but we definitely have to buy land to grow things.
“Our family only has a few acres of dry land, what can we grow? There are so many things we want to grow next year, and we can sell them to Sihu after we grow them, especially new things that only our family has. Sihu will be very happy with this news..”
