The Growth System Comes at the Age of Thirty

Chapter 99 The circus has your show tonight

Pruning the bougainvillea doesn't take much time, and Chen Jingle's focus is more on cooking.

For dinner, we prepared lion head stewed with cordyceps flowers.

This is also a Huaiyang dish that tests your skills and is a state banquet dish.

The focus is to highlight the meaty aroma and fresh soup of this dish. When eating, you can clearly feel the smoothness, tenderness and elasticity of the meat, as well as the refreshing taste of the water chestnuts.

To make lion head, fresh water chestnuts, of course, are indispensable.

Fortunately, you can buy it in supermarkets.

Even though the stewed lion's head doesn't look very good on the surface, it's just a meatball. In fact, it's a very troublesome dish that most people can't make at home. It's basically only available in restaurants or hotels outside.

This is a very typical local banquet dish, a hard dish.

It’s just like the braised pork with pickled cabbage made in Lingnan area. People who don’t know the art will think, eh, isn’t this just sliced ​​pork belly and stewed?

Actually it's not.

The procedure is very complicated. The steps for slicing the meat are complicated, and the same goes for the lion head. If you make a wrong step, the taste will be very different.

For example, for soup, if conditions are unavailable, you can use the original soup of the stewed meat and cover it with some cabbage. If possible, I will add prepared chicken soup and then add Cordyceps flowers to stew it.

If you replace the latter two, the taste will be on another level.

In short, do whatever the conditions allow.

Chen Jingle makes a version of chicken soup with cordyceps flower, which is definitely not bad.

The chicken soup he makes is not a whole chicken or half a chicken, but a piece of chicken breast chopped into minced meat and then stirred into the soup.

This is a relatively high-end and fast way to make soup stock.

The minced chicken can be scooped out and used to feed tiger cubs later.

Although it is only for two people, there are more than two lion heads, so you have to eat them to your heart's content.

"Since we've already done it, let's do more. It's not like I can't afford it."

Chen Jingle is a carnivore and loves to eat meat.

This dish is more time-consuming and laborious, but fortunately he knows all the steps by heart and doesn't find it difficult to make it.

Beginners may have many problems, such as not being able to master the ratio of meat to horse hooves or the heat, so they need to spend a lot of time practicing repeatedly.

Most people can do it at a good level after practicing for a week, and they can handle family dinners with no problem.

Chen Jingle has high demands on himself and hopes to make a lion head with the ultimate taste. The standard is that it will be stewed in the pot, but it will not fall apart. When it is put into your mouth, you will feel the meat melt in your mouth with a slight lick of your tongue. , with the refreshing and refreshing fragrance of water chestnuts in the middle.

The second thing is that we agreed at noon that we would get Chen Qiyun a dessert, and we couldn't fool around with it.

"Then you have to prepare well."

Even though Chen Qiyun looks like a little pig sometimes, she is actually very naughty. If it doesn't taste good, there will definitely be objections.

So Chen Jingle decided to make a white fungus, red dates and pear soup.

This is a dessert that is very suitable for the elderly and children during the change of seasons.

Although Lingnan is still very hot at the moment, it is already past autumn and the seasons have changed. It is obviously different from the heat and humidity in summer and is much drier.

At this time, it is a good choice to have a bowl of pear soup to moisten the lungs.

Tremella, red dates and lilies were left over from the sugar water I bought before, so I bought them all at the drug store. What is sold in the market outside is outrageous, not because of the outrageous price, but because of the quality. Sulfur-smoked wolfberry is a common practice.

Some even sell you fake products directly, which is not good in the eyes of ordinary people and they will be deceived in minutes.

These days, the profits from fake medicinal materials are even more exaggerated than ice cream. For example, many unscrupulous traders on the Internet like to use cassava to pass off Angelica dahurica.

I can only say that he is a pure beast.

The focus is Sydney.

Chen Jinngle couldn't find the variety of Sydney pear he wanted in the supermarket, so he finally found it at the fruit wholesale market.

The quality of pears is directly related to the quality of this dessert. Although some pears look like snow pears, they actually taste very bad, with more residue and less water and not sweet.

Chen Jingle didn't understand before, he had been fooled several times, and he was really full of resentment.

The pears he bought this time were big and sweet. He bought a lot of them. Except for the dessert part, the rest can be used as after-dinner fruit.

Pears are not apples, so you don’t have to worry about them rotting in the refrigerator.

…

Chen Qiyun was thinking about delicious food and ran to Chen Jingle's house after class.

"What's for dinner tonight?"

I just came back and was out of breath, so I couldn't help but ask.

Chen Jingle has already prepared and served it on the table: "Stewed lion's head with cordyceps flowers, and stewed pear soup with white fungus and red dates."

Chen Qiyun was shocked: "How dare you eat a lion? Are you not afraid of being arrested?!"

"..." Chen Jingle rolled his eyes at her: "Clay rice is not really about eating children, so how can the lion's head be a real lion? It's meatballs, just a nice name."

"Oh." Chen Qiyun suddenly realized. She looked into the pot and was surprised: "This doesn't look like a lion's head!"

“Eat it if you like it!”

"Eat, of course!" Chen Qiyun quickly washed her hands, "Can I drink sugar water first?"

Chen Jingle decisively refused: "No, eat first! If you drink sugar water first, the taste of the food will change in your mouth."

"Oh~~"

Chen Qiyun had no choice but to eat first reluctantly.

Don't tell me, this lion's head tastes really good. Although it is meatballs, it is much more delicious than the beef balls, beef tendon **** and peeing beef **** sold outside.

And this soup is so fresh!

She is not a person who likes to drink soup at home. She is willing to drink only the soups of corn ribs and lotus root ribs, but this lion head soup feels very good to her, very good.

Delicious!

After eating two lion heads, she focused on the soup. Chen Jingle had to remind: "Don't drink too much, I'm afraid you won't be able to drink sugar water later."

Yes~ There is also sugar water, I almost forgot about it!

Seeing that her stomach was almost full, Chen Qiyun hurriedly filled the sugar water. Although the pear tasted a bit strange after being stewed, she liked the taste of white fungus, and the sugar water was sweet.

Really nice.

One of them couldn't hold it back and drank two more bowls.

Not surprisingly, I was full again.

She frowned a little at the thought of having to eat home food again when she got home later.

"Then let's eat later!"

She made her decision immediately.

Let Chen Jingle finish his homework first, then go back and have something to eat, and then he can watch TV, and then read a book after taking a shower.

This arrangement is perfect!

Chen Jingle was very satisfied when he saw her taking out the after-school exercises. It seemed that she had developed good study habits.

The point is to stick with it.

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

…

at the same time.

Zhong Qing, who had just come out of the library, went to the cafeteria to eat first, and then brought some food to a few roommates.

There was no class in the afternoon, so they were all in the dormitory and didn't want to go out.

By the time of senior year, except for postgraduate entrance examination candidates and interns, everyone would not leave the dormitory unless they could.

Zhong Qing, who goes to the library every day, has become everyone's support.

One portion of braised chicken, one portion of snail noodles, one portion of cross-bridge rice noodles, two cups of milk tea and a cup of lemonade.

Zhong Qing felt that she really owed them.

"I'm back."

Pushing open the dormitory door, feeling the coolness of the air conditioner, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Yuting rushed over first and helped get the things: "Qingqing mother, I love you!"

"Stop coming!"

"Wow, Qingqing, you are finally back."

Zi Xin and Yang Qiuyun also quickly climbed out of bed and prepared to have dinner.

"Let's make an agreement first, snail noodles are not allowed to be eaten in the dormitory!" Zhong Qing frowned.

"Agree!" "Agree!"

"protest!"

"The protest is ineffective!"

So Li Yuting was driven to the living balcony, but the door was open, so it wasn't too hot.

After finishing the meal and drinking milk tea, everyone felt like they were finally alive.

Li Yuting was sipping milk tea when she suddenly came over: "Hey, Qingqing!"

"Ang?" Zhong Qing didn't know why.

"How was your chat with your blind date?"

"A blind date?"

Zhong Qing didn't react for a moment, and it took her brain two seconds to realize, Chen Jinngle?

He said numbly: "It's very good. We have successfully established a teacher-student relationship."

Yes, that's right.

She is a student.

At first, it was Chen Jingle who asked her for advice on various political science majors, but gradually, it was she who asked others for advice.

Chen Jingle really learns so fast!

Zhong Qing even doubted whether he had eaten the whole book and digested it, otherwise how could he have read the entire ideological and political and even many extracurricular reading books so quickly, and even covered a lot of postgraduate content.

So now, she has begun to ask questions from others.

"ha?"

Li Yuting was stunned: "No, what's going on with you? I'm on a blind date with you. What's the relationship between teacher and student? Or is this some kind of special play?"

"screw you."

Zhong Qing rolled her eyes: "We talk less about daily life and more about professional knowledge. Between men and postgraduate entrance examinations, I have to succeed, right?"

Li Yuting's eyes widened: "Now it seems that it is more likely to pass the postgraduate entrance examination."

"Um."

"Poor Qingqing."

Li Yuting shook her head at first, and then she felt sad: "I gave you a chance but you didn't use it!"

Zhong Qing just wanted to roll her eyes: "You go ahead!"

"In my opinion, you can just go up." Yang Qiuyun encouraged.

Zhong Qing curled her lips: "I think you're really hoping for my performance in the circus tonight."

"How will you know if you don't try?"

"What if I really become a clown?"

"That way it can still make everyone happy."

"Hey~~ I don't want it!"
