Chapter 14: Sauce Squid Rice Bowl

Uncle Hong’s millet porridge was soon served.

Looking at the bright, golden millet porridge in front of him, with a hint of white, Grandpa Hong couldn't help but squint his eyes. He felt the aroma of rice and yam wafting wildly in front of his nose, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "This is the taste, the same rice aroma I used to drink when I was a child!"

Many elderly people are actually becoming increasingly dissatisfied with today's food.

Whether it is rice or millet, the rice fragrance that I had when I was a child is less and less there.

The pork has no meaty taste.

The vegetables are also getting sloppier.

In short, I was not satisfied with anything, but I had to eat with a frown on my face.

Because there is no choice!

At this moment, a bowl of millet porridge with the sweet rice aroma of his childhood was placed in front of him. Uncle Hong couldn't help but recall the past, and his eyes became red.

Uncle Wu couldn't stand the smell.

He went to the disinfection cabinet to get a small bowl and spoon, and whispered to Grandpa Hong: "Don't eat alone, give me some, I want to taste it."

The two people have a good relationship and they visit each other on a daily basis.

Although the millet and yam porridge was indeed very fragrant, Uncle Hong was not stingy and generously gestured to Uncle Wu: "I'll give you a little... a little half."

He originally wanted to say half of it, but when the words came to his lips, he felt reluctant.

Uncle Wu didn't mind and scooped two spoonfuls for fun.

Before the two of them started eating, they smelled a rich and delicious aroma.

It was as if the ocean suddenly and gently embraced them, soft and fragrant, making people linger.

They both turned to look towards the kitchen.

That rich flavor comes from there.

At this time, Sheng Jiu was processing squid.

If you want the squid to be fresh, delicious and not fishy, ​​you need to be careful when handling it.

When blanching the squid, in order to ensure its freshness and tenderness, the water does not need to be boiled. It is best when large bubbles appear at the bottom of the pot but the water is not yet fully boiled.

When putting the squid into the pot, you need to count the seconds.

Once the time limit is exceeded, the squid will become tough and difficult to bite.

The squid produced in StarCraft is soft, tender and fragrant.

When blanching, the smell is uncontrollable and runs out like crazy.

It is like a cheerful elf, constantly spreading its deliciousness to the world!

The squid was blanched quickly, and Sheng Jiu went to stir-fry the sauce.

If you want the squid to be juicy and tasty, the choice of base sauce is also very important.

Because squid is a temporary ingredient, the system did not provide Sheng Jiu with the corresponding sauce.

However, Sheng Jiu has a mysterious weapon.

The homemade sauce made by her grandfather is so delicious!

When Sheng Jiu is too lazy to cook, he can just mix this sauce with rice and eat a big bowl!

This sauce is available in both spicy and non-spicy varieties.

In fact, when it comes to stir-fried squid, spicy flavor is the best.

However, we also need to consider that some people cannot eat spicy food.

So the sauce flavor is also good.

Sheng Jiu loudly asked Uncle Wu if he could eat spicy food. After receiving an affirmative answer, he heated the oil in a pan.

When the oil is heated up, scoop a large spoonful of homemade base sauce into the pan and stir-fry until fragrant.

The base sauce already has a rich aroma, and when it collides with the hot oil, it bursts out with an even richer and more tempting aroma.

Uncle Wu smelled the fragrance and said, "Hey, this is a familiar old smell!"

They had eaten here before and had tasted Grandpa Sheng’s cooking.

Although his skills are average, the old man is quite good at making sausages and sauces.

When Uncle Wu smelled this familiar scent and thought of Uncle Sheng who had passed away, he couldn't help but sigh.

However, he soon had no mind to think about anything else.

Because the squid is in the pot!

At that moment, the aroma of sauce and the fresh aroma of the ocean collided and merged, and the whole restaurant was surrounded by this fresh and fragrant smell, leaving people with nowhere to escape and surrendering on the spot.

Uncle Hong was originally tasting the millet porridge, and he would comment from time to time: It is soft in the mouth, with a pleasant rice aroma and a slight sweet aftertaste. Good rice and good yam!

Even the wolfberries have a different flavor when you bite them.

As a result, while commenting, he became speechless.

Damn it!

He knew that squid was delicious, but was it reasonable for it to be this delicious?

Uncle Hong felt that he could not eat the millet porridge in his hand.

The fragrance of millet is long-lasting, light and elegant.

The smell of squid is overbearing and arrogant, as if it is the only one in the world and all other smells are defeated by it!

After Shengjiu stir-fries the base sauce, he adds shredded green and red peppers. When the green and red peppers are 80% cooked, he adds the squid and stir-fries a few more times before serving.

What getting fired requires is absolute control over time.

One more second, and you’re too old to bite.

If it's one second less, it won't feel cooked enough and won't be as palatable.

Sheng Jiu managed time so well that even the system couldn't help but admire him.

Beautiful!

[This would be perfect if paired with interstellar thorn peppers! ]

Hearing the familiar name, Sheng Jiu asked in his mind: "Is that the chili pepper that is taller than me?"

[That's a mutation. The ones that haven't mutated are all normal size. And eating thorn peppers regularly can help you grow taller.]

Can I grow taller?

Sheng Jiu was a little moved.

Of course, she has no obsession with her height, because she is only two centimeters away from being 1.7 meters tall.

However, her aunt's sister and her college roommates...

Many people are obsessed with the fact that they have not grown to 1.6 meters or 1.7 meters.

If only I could get the thorn pepper back...

Sheng Jiu quickly withdrew his thoughts and focused his attention on what was in front of him.

A delicious and fragrant squid rice with sauce was served, and Uncle Wu couldn't control his saliva in anticipation.

Mr. Hong was originally trying to control his blood lipids, but now that the aroma hit his face, he couldn't control himself. "Let me taste it, I'll take a bite. It shouldn't be ridiculously high, right?"

The two old men were discussing how to divide the food between them. Sheng Jiu was about to turn around and go back to the kitchen when Lin Qi came in.

Lin Qi is in much better spirits today.

She thought it was because of the delicious rice with toppings she had yesterday.

Yesterday, when Lin Qi was eating in the store, he was disturbed by the rich aroma of crab meat.

Therefore, she thought the egg and ham rice was delicious, but she didn't think the taste was overly exaggerated.

However, when Lin Qi brought the meal back to the tea room, his teammates opened their rice bowls. At that moment...

It's no exaggeration to say so.

In the tea room, the aroma of takeout from more than a dozen other people could not overshadow the aroma of the rice bowl she brought back.

Even the aroma of the rice noodles that they usually teased me with a drop of fragrance was overwhelmed.

Delicious food can heal a tired body and an empty soul.

Lin Qi felt that her fatigue from yesterday had been cured by the delicious food, which gave her more energy to work hard for the company!

So, today she decided to treat herself and have another meal.

When you push the door open, you can smell the rich aroma of the ocean.

Lin Qi:……!

Wow, people who are allergic to seafood don’t deserve it?
