Jin Chuan and Jade Chuan are a pair of sisters in Dream of Red Mansions, and they are also very simple and kind-hearted daughters in Dream of Red Mansions. The lotus leaves are fluttering in the wind in summer, and it’s time to make lotus leaf soup.

In early summer, some netizens wanted to drink the lotus leaf soup that Erye Bao was talking about. At that time, the lotus leaves in the north were not yet abundant, the lotus flowers had sharp corners, the lotus seeds were not full, and the lotus roots were The alternation of old and new. As July approaches, I eagerly look at the roadside stalls, hoping to encounter people selling fresh lotus leaves and lotus pods like before. Originally, I was in a sweet mood when I was cooking the delicacies of Dream of Red Mansions. While I was cooking this delicacy, I was chewing on the golden phrases in the book Dream of Red Mansions, thinking about the kindest pair of sisters in Dream of Red Mansions. After all, I couldn’t let go. The image of the beloved Mr. Bao, the flower protector of the Grand View Garden, has plummeted.

The preparation of this lotus leaf soup is very simple, very seasonal, and most suitable in summer. Baoyu said to use small lotus leaves and small lotus pods, and Sister Feng said to prepare a few chickens, so the main ingredients don’t need to be thought of too much. According to Sister Feng’s tips, “make some noodles to print on, and borrow the fragrance of the new lotus leaves. It all depends on the good taste.” "Soup", the first thing to prepare is a pot of good soup.

Tips

1. This soup was drunk by Baoyu after he was beaten. No spicy ingredients such as ginger and pepper were added to the soup. Seasoning, you can season it according to your own taste.

2. Remove the lotus core from the lotus seeds, otherwise they will taste bitter; if the dried lotus seeds are soaked in advance.

3. If the lotus juice extracted from a large lotus leaf is less and the color is light green, you can also make a small bowl of lotus leaf soup.
