and.
Jiang Ning recognized at a glance that these taros were authentic Lipu taros.
Many taros look big and round, but whether they are stewed over high heat or cut into cubes for cooking, taros are hard and never soften no matter how they are cooked.
Some of them are not even tasty and have only a bland and hard texture.
Lipu taro is different.
Not only soft, but also powdery.
Even if you just steam it with hot water for ten minutes, it will become pink and tender.
Just touch it lightly with chopsticks and a small hole will be poked out.
This kind of Lipu taro is the most delicious.
The way to distinguish Lipu taro from ordinary taro is also very simple, just look at the cross section of the taro.
Ordinary taro is pure white, without impurities, and looks white and tender. In fact, the edge of the taro is slightly blue-gray in color.
Lipu taro is different.
There will be purple fiber patterns on the cross-section of Lipu taro.
Like cotton wool, densely spread out.
And the higher the density of fiber, the better the glutinous taste of this taro.
There's even an alluring taro scent.
Jiang Ning hasn't eaten authentic Lipu taro for a long time, and just looking at it makes her a little greedy.
She asked the price and bought five Lipu taros in one go.
Each one is big and round, weighing four to five kilograms.
Just one can probably last for two days.
The taro comes with mud. As long as you put it on a cool ground after buying it, it will definitely not go bad in ten days and a half in the current weather.
Jiang Ning also had careful calculations in his heart.
The taro seller was an old man in his 60s or 70s. When he heard that Jiang Ning had bought so much, he felt like he had met a big customer.
He not only used taro leaves, but also wrapped the taro leaves one by one, so that Jiang Ning could put them in the bamboo-backed basket without soiling other things.
And he also gave Jiang Ning a bunch of taro sprouts.
"Little girl, these taro sprouts are given to you. You can stew them into soup when you get back. They are so soft and delicious. They are all grown by us. If they are not delicious, come back to me and I will refund your money!"
"Thank you, old man."
Jiang Ning felt the old man's simplicity and enthusiasm and thanked him with a smile.
Just paid here.
There were a few shouts from over there.
"Aning! Aning!"
"Aning! You come too!"
The visitors were none other than Wang Chunxia and Yang Rui.
Although they hadn't arrived at the agreed place yet, they met first in the market.
After seeing Jiang Ning, the two waved and walked over with the crowd.
Yang Rui seemed particularly happy.
The hair on her forehead was a little messy, her face was flushed, and there were some beads of sweat on her forehead.
As soon as he saw Jiang Ning, he immediately spoke with joy.
"An Ning! Look - it's pork ribs! I actually bought pork ribs today!" Yang Rui said excitedly with a bright smile on her face, "It's all thanks to Sister Chunxia, this is my first time in a long time. I bought ribs at once!”
Jiang Ning saw the ribs in Yang Rui's arms at a glance, and she held them in her arms like a treasure.
After all, pork is already hard to buy, and ribs are even harder to buy than pork.
There are a lot of people queuing up every time, and it's quite orderly at first, but as the pork comes out, people at the back start pushing forward like crazy.
In the end, it’s not about queuing up to buy pork, it’s about whoever grabs it.
Yang Rui had seen her sisters-in-law snatching pork once, and was frightened by such a crazy scene.
She had obviously been waiting for two or three hours at that time and was at the front of the queue, but she was suddenly pushed to the back by the sisters-in-law who were surrounding her like a swarm of beasts.
Among them, there were many people who stepped on her feet, and some people pulled her clothes back with their hands.
The situation was chaotic and unsafe.
Since then, even if Yang Rui is greedy for pork, she doesn't dare to wait in line again.
But today is different.
While queuing, Wang Chunxia asked Yang Rui to stand in front of her.
"Sister Rui, you are white and tender, just like a chicken, it is too easy to be squeezed out. Don't be afraid when the time comes, my sister-in-law will protect you from behind, and I will make sure you buy pork today!"
Yang Rui was panicked from beginning to end.
Especially after the chaos started, people around seemed like they had lost their minds.
But just as she said before, Wang Chunxia spread her arms from behind to protect her tightly, preventing people around her from crowding into her.
She also shouted loudly.
"Sister Rui, hurry up! Move forward quickly! Take whatever you have! We will definitely be able to buy pork!"
"Yes! We can definitely buy pork!"
Yang Rui cheered herself up in the chaos.
Under Wang Chunxia's protection, she pushed forward hard and got a fan of ribs in the chaos.
In that critical moment.
At the same time, there was another sister-in-law who had also reached out and was almost touching the fan of ribs.
Yang Rui's small body didn't know where the strength burst out.
He actually grabbed eight or nine kilograms of ribs in one go.
"This rib is mine!"
She shouted loudly and held it tightly in her hands, not even noticing that her clothes were stained.
Until the end...
Yang Rui was still in a daze when she walked out of the crowd with her spareribs.
There is also some pride.
She actually...really bought it!
Wang Chunxia smiled and praised from the side.
"Sister Rui, you did a good job! Let me tell you, this rib is the most difficult to grab. You can't get it even once in ten times. There are so many today. Sister Ning and we share it, and each of us has two. It’s three pounds! I really can’t tell, but you are actually quite powerful.”
"Yes... I'm actually quite... powerful."
Yang Rui listened to the pounding of her heart and smiled unconsciously.
Jiang Ning's eyes lit up when he saw the fresh pork ribs.
"These ribs look really fresh and have a lot of meat. I just bought taro, which is just right for making steamed ribs with taro flour."
Steamed Pork Ribs with Taro Flour…
As soon as the name of this dish was spoken, I thought of Jiang Ning's extraordinary cooking skills.
Wang Chunxia and Yang Rui looked at each other and saw the yearning in each other's eyes and the movement of swallowing saliva.
Want to eat!
They also eat steamed pork ribs with taro flour.
Then he turned to look at the old man selling taro beside him.
"Old man, how many taros do you have left? I want two!"
"I want two too!"
Old man: I met the God of Wealth today, and it was the first time I sold so many taros!
