Chapter 391 She Will Always Remember Where She Came From

Ever since Shen Zhaonian made up his mind to help his youngest son get rid of his bad habits of being lazy and staying in bed, he would pull Shen Keheng out of bed early every day and personally watch him practice martial arts.

Shen Kesi was used to getting up early, so he went to practice as well.

Later, in order to save trouble, Shen Zhaonian asked Shen Kesi to keep an eye on Shen Keheng.

He went to exercise with his wife.

After practicing for several days, Shen Keheng not only got rid of the habit of staying in bed, but also found that he was not as afraid of cold as before.

"Brother, I don't know if it's because I got up early in the morning to practice martial arts these past two days, but I feel like I'm a lot stronger than before."

Shen Kesi: ???

"How did you find out?"

Chen Keheng couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips: "Because now, except for the moment I get up, I still feel cold, and the rest of the time my hands and feet are warm. Maybe it's because I insist on getting up in the morning to practice martial arts, so my body has become stronger."

Shen Kesi: ...

Is there a possibility that the weather has become warmer?

"Come on, we should go have breakfast."

"Walk!"

When the Shen Kesi brothers arrived at the side hall, the rest of the Shen family had already arrived.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Zhou asked the maid to serve breakfast.

Shen Keheng looked at the food on the table and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow, it's so rich!!"

Today's breakfast is morning tea. The maids served dishes that we have eaten before, such as shrimp dumplings, barbecued pork buns, spare ribs, chicken feet, white sugar cakes, etc.

There were also some refreshments they had never seen before.

What everyone cared about most was a piece of golden pastry.

Chen Huazheng introduced with a smile: "This is a crispy dumpling, and this is a smiling date."

These dim sum, like fried dough fritters, are what we always eat during Chinese New Year.

Crispy dumplings have another name, called Youjiao.

Shen Huazheng had two kinds of fillings made.

The sweet filling is filled with crushed peanuts, sesame seeds and coconut flakes.

The salty filling is filled with taro, dried shrimp and pork.

The skin of the crispy dumplings is made of flour, and each crispy dumpling is filled with stuffing. The dough is first kneaded, then gently twisted into inward folds, and the opening is pinched into a neat half-braid pattern.

Fry it in oil until it turns golden in color, and it is moist and plump when it comes out of the pan.

The fried crispy dumplings have a crispy and delicious skin and are shaped like dumplings, hence the name crispy dumplings.

Because its shape looks like a golden wallet, eating crispy dumplings during the New Year symbolizes a rich and prosperous new year.

Another name for the laughing date is "kaikouxiao". Some people also call it "xijiandui".

Xiaokouzao is also made of flour, but the method of making it is much simpler than that of making fried dough fritters.

After kneading the dough, divide it into small balls and roll them into round shapes.

Roll the surface with sesame seeds and fry twice in oil until golden brown.

After frying, the surface will crack, resembling a grin.

Eating smiling dates during the New Year means being happy and worry-free in the new year.

Shen Huazheng pointed to the golden cake again: "This is golden cake."

Golden Cake originated in Southeast Asia and is a type of Nanyang Nyonya cake.

Later, it was introduced to China, and our ancestors made some changes according to the local tastes and named it golden cake.

It is a perfect collision of Nanyang style and local culture.

Chen Huazheng likes golden cake very much. It has a golden appearance and looks very tempting.

It tastes chewy, soft and chewy, very chewy and delicious.

Everyone nodded. The name of each food was very appropriate and suitable for the occasion.

Zheng'er is really good at naming.

Zhou: "Zheng'er, this golden cake is indeed as its name suggests, golden and shiny. Eating this during the Chinese New Year does feel quite auspicious."

Shen Huazheng smiled and said, “Eggs are added to it, so it looks golden.”

During the Chinese New Year, eating golden cake has good meaning.

It symbolizes the ability to obtain a lot of wealth.

Shen Zhaonian also agreed, "It does look like it has a good meaning, and the name is also very good. Zheng'er, you have to eat a few more pieces, so that the business of Yipinlou and Food Street will get better and better, and the source of income will roll in."

Shen Keheng also thought it made sense: "Zheng'er, eat more."

Of course, letting Zheng'er eat more doesn't mean that he himself won't eat or will eat less.

Before the Chinese New Year, Zheng'er made fried dough sticks for them to eat.

Zheng'er said that fried dough sticks symbolize a house full of gold and silver.

He didn't take it seriously at the time, but during this year's Chinese New Year, the New Year's money he received was several times more than in previous years.

I guess it’s because of the fried dough fritters.

If you eat this golden cake again, it will look like gold.

Then in the new year, won’t the God of Wealth chase him and feed him money?

You should eat more of these pastries with good meaning.

Thinking of this, Chen Keheng quietly aimed at the golden cake on the table, intending to pick up the largest piece with chopsticks.

Wait, why do the two golden cakes on the table look a little different?

Shen Keheng couldn't hide what he was saying in his heart: "Zheng'er, are these two golden cakes different?"

Chen Huazheng: "Yes, golden cake can be steamed or fried. I made both. But you have to eat it while it's hot, so that you can taste the best taste of golden cake."

The taste of golden cake made in these two ways is very different, but both are delicious.

Chen Huazheng originally only wanted to make one, but she thought her family would like this pastry, so she arranged to make both methods.

Shen Zhaonian raised his chopsticks, picked up a piece of golden cake for Zhou, and picked up another piece for himself.

"Everyone, please start eating."

Shen Keheng picked up a piece of golden cake with chopsticks and put it in the bowl.

"Zheng'er, will there be mint goose hotpot at the Food Court and Yipinlou next time?"

Zhou also said: "Zheng'er, the mint goose meat hotpot is really delicious. If it is launched in the food court and Yipinlou, it should sell well."

Others also thought it made sense and nodded.

When we think of yesterday’s hotpot, we can still feel the amazing taste on our tongues.

It’s nothing, it’s just that the mint goose hotpot is so delicious.

Not only goose meat and goose meatballs, but even other ingredients will have a completely different taste when put into the pot and dipped in it.

Take yuba, which is usually added to any hot pot. Dip it in the pot and then use chopsticks to put it into the bowl.

The originally crispy bean curd sheets have become soft and mellow, with a delicate texture and full of soup.

Taking a bite, in addition to the bean flavor of yuba, you can also smell the freshness of the soup pot and a refreshing mint aroma.

It was the first time for them to taste yuba with such a wonderful texture, which was very chewy and left a lingering fragrance in their mouths.

After swallowing, the fragrance still lingers in the throat.

Chen Huazheng nodded: "Yes, I plan to arrange this after the Chinese New Year. In fact, it's not just mint goose hot pot. Mint can also be paired with many other meats. Then we can launch a mint series."

[Mint beef, mint spareribs, mint steamed chicken, and mint chicken soup are all delicious. 】

Everyone in the Shen family: ()

I don't know why, but I always feel that Zheng'er's words are meant to tempt them.

Fortunately, there are all kinds of delicious food in front of me, otherwise my saliva would really flow out.

Chen Kesi suddenly asked: "Zheng'er, although your work at the Shanglin Bureau is leisurely, you still have a position to perform, so you have to be busy with official duties. You are now holding several positions, are you too tired?"

It's a good thing that his sister is capable, but he is worried that she will be too tired.

Chen Keting also said: "Zheng'er, you are not doing business alone, you also have cousin Ying and Princess Lejia. If you can't take care of both, why not put some business matters aside and let them worry more."

Chen Huazheng shook her head: "In fact, after I entered the Forestry Bureau, they have helped me share a lot of the work. The three of us have always divided the work and cooperated with each other. Basically, cousin Ying is in charge, and I am only responsible for food. But no matter what, I will not give up and continue to cook delicious food."

Before I knew it, I had already spent the entire Spring Festival in this world.

She didn't know if it was because she had stayed here for too long, but there always seemed to be a voice in her heart telling her that this was where her life truly belonged and where she belonged.

Even when I occasionally recall the past, I always feel a little hazy.

The past hidden deep in the heart seems to be covered with a veil, becoming difficult to touch.

It seemed that there was a mysterious force fighting against her reason, trying to make her slowly forget the past.

Having memory blurred is a very scary thing.

Chen Huazheng has been trying hard to recall the delicious food she had eaten in the past and make it.

She wanted to stay awake all the time.

Only when you taste the familiar flavor will your anxious heart settle down, and everything about your hometown will suddenly emerge from the depths of your memory.

Only by eating those familiar foods will she remember where she came from and firmly remember the memories of her grandparents.

She will always remember where she came from and her grandparents.
