But I had never paid attention to it before, and the teacher had never specifically mentioned it.

Ling Miao was washing and rubbing the pig's trotters, after skimming off the foam, in hot water when she heard Zheng Wenrun's words and explained:

"This is because the pig's trotters have just come out of the hot water. If you use cold water, the meat will suddenly go from hot to cold, and the originally warm and tender meat will suddenly shrink, making it tough and dry."

So that's how it is!

Isn't this the same principle as thermal expansion and contraction?

Zheng Wenrun was extremely annoyed, realizing that details he had never paid attention to before had directly affected the texture of the meat.

But he could never find the reason!

It was because of the water temperature!

Seeing Zheng Wenrun suddenly understand, Ling Miao continued, "The scum is actually the impurities and blood foam that come out when the meat is cooked, which is the source of the fishy smell."

"Of course, if you don't remove it, it will affect the taste to some extent."

However, it is not as affected by the temperature as water.

After she finished speaking, she continued washing her hands.

The pig's trotters, washed clean, were plump and round, looking incredibly cute.

Suddenly I find pig's feet so cute...

Am I crazy...? I actually think the protagonist's feet are actually quite good-looking [sweating]JPG.

[Same feeling as the person upstairs!]

[It's ridiculous that even a minor character looks cute...]

[Exactly, even if you praise someone, you can't just overhype them. It's so awkward.]

Only two or three such comments appeared, but they were still spotted by the sharp-eyed Cedrian. He pursed his lips and, for the first time, considered using his personal power to permanently ban these accounts.

He lowered his eyes, his hand on the table twitched, and he suppressed the impulsive thoughts in his heart.

Ling Miao was unaware that someone was worrying about her, as the cooking time for her pig's trotters was almost up.

She lifted the lid, revealing braised pig's trotters soaking in a rich, dark brown broth, bobbing gently in the rising steam, a sight to behold. "Let's bring the male lead out for a stroll; we've almost forgotten about him."
