Chapter 60 Buddha Jumps Over the Wall
Add chicken soup, bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer over low heat for half an hour. Remove all ingredients and leave 200ml of soup.
Place a layer of ginger slices on the bottom of the ceramic pot, the second layer of mushrooms, the third layer of chicken legs, the fourth layer of shrimps, and the fifth layer of clam meat.
Next are pig's trotters, pig's stomach, abalone and sea cucumber.
Finally, add 100ml of Huadiao wine, fill the chicken soup to 80% full, and simmer over low heat.
After get off work, Gu Zheng entered the yard and saw Yanyan, Dazhuang and Xiaozhuang lying at the kitchen door, which was a rare sight.
You know, now that Yanyan has made a bunch of friends in the staff quarters, they will definitely play with him until he gets home from get off work every day, and then the father and son will go home together.
"Wife, what delicious food have you made tonight?" Smelling the strange aroma coming from the kitchen, Gu Zheng asked with some anticipation.
Yanyan was familiar with this question. He answered first, "I know. Mom made Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. It's delicious."
Wow, this is a delicious dish. Gu Zheng had only heard of it in books, but he didn’t expect that his wife could actually cook it. His expectations were instantly raised to the highest level.
Gu Zheng took off his military uniform, changed into casual clothes, walked forward, and pinched the nose of his son who was concentrating on watching his mother cook.
"Little friend Yanyan, you haven't even tried it, how do you know it tastes good?"
Yanyan patiently let her father pinch her nose while explaining.
"My mother said that this dish is called Buddha Jumps Over the Wall because it is so delicious that Buddha would jump over the wall to taste it."
"Even Buddha likes to eat it, so it must be very delicious."
As he said this, he looked at Dazhuang and Xiaozhuang, hoping to get the support of the two brothers.
Da Zhuang understood immediately and praised: "Yan Yan is right, Aunt Lin's cooking is the best in the world."
Xiao Zhuang even sucked his saliva to suit the occasion.
In just these two days, the two brothers have fully witnessed Lin Yunxi's cooking skills. Seafood that doesn't taste good at home can be cooked to be delicious here.
In addition, Aunt Lin would make snacks every day, all of which were rare things they had never seen before, including egg yolk crisps, snow pear rice crackers, shrimp crackers, milk-flavored baby bumpkins and caramel pudding.
Whenever the two of them came to play with Yanyan, Aunt Lin would fill their pockets with stuffed goods, so the thing that Dazhuang and Xiaozhuang are most looking forward to recently is coming to the Gu family's courtyard.
Aunt Lin not only speaks gently, but also never tires of playing games with them, just like a friend.
Lin Yunxi looked at the group of people gathered at the kitchen door with amusement and said, "I'll fry two more vegetarian dishes and then we can have dinner."
Gu Zheng thought that his teacher and aunt would have a great meal tonight, so he quickly spoke.
"Wife, let's go to the teacher's house for dinner tonight. I'll make my best braised pork ribs. You can try it then."
"Then what should we do with this pot of food?" Lin Yunxi was a little confused.
Buddha Jumps Over the Wall must be cooked and eaten immediately, otherwise it will lose its original flavor and texture.
"Bring the pot over directly. You don't know that Master Zhou has been coveting your cooking skills for a long time. When he sees this pot of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, he will be overjoyed."
"Okay." They had been here for so long, it was time to visit this elder who treated her husband like a junior.
After hearing this, Da Zhuang and Xiao Zhuang were the most disappointed. The light in the eyes of the two little foodies instantly disappeared.
Lin Yunxi saw it all, touched the two little ones' heads and said gently.
"Da Zhuang, go get a big bowl from home and I'll give you some."
She used the largest clay pot in the space to cook it, in addition to chicken, pig's trotters, pig's stomach, sea cucumber and abalone.
All the fresh seafood in the bucket was put in, filling up the pot.
Even if some of it is served away, there is still enough to eat.
"I'll go back and get the bowl." The two jumped up excitedly. Da Zhuang had long legs and ran fast. He had already rushed to the door while talking.
Zhang Hongmei is at home following the recipe given by sister Yunxi, making steamed yellow croaker and spicy crab step by step.
In the blink of an eye, I saw my son rushing in like a little firecracker, muttering: "Big bowl, big bowl."
She asked in confusion: "Da Zhuang, why are you alone? Where is your brother?"
Da Zhuang's mind was filled with the intoxicating fragrance of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, and he didn't hear what his mother said at all.
After getting the bowl, he ran away again.
"Hey, this kid."
Lin Yunxi took a spoon and scooped out some of each ingredient, filling up a large bowl.
For fear of scalding the two children, Lin Yunxi asked Gu Zheng to help deliver it, while she went into the house to prepare the gifts she was going to bring.
Gu Zheng had told her about Commander Zhou’s family situation before. In addition to his aunt, his youngest daughter and grandson also lived with him.
Lin Yunxi locked the door, entered the space, and began to choose gifts from his "treasure box".
Teacher Zhou loves delicious food and fine wine, so he took the Moutai liquor he brought from the supply and marketing cooperative last time.
Although she had a lot of fruit wine and wine brewed with spiritual spring water in her space, it was still better to choose a more solemn gift for their first meeting.
I chose fruit and scented tea for Mr. Zhou’s aunt, and packed it in a carved wooden box that I carved myself, which looked very elegant.
Each flavor is packed separately in small bags. You only need to brew one bag at a time, which is very convenient.
Considering that my aunt is old, she chose longan, red dates and wolfberry tea and rose, mulberry and chrysanthemum tea, which are not only delicious but also nourish yin and blood and help sleep.
She also took a goose yellow silk scarf with exquisite embroidery and a set of wooden building blocks of the same style as Yanyan's.
When Gu Zheng came back, he saw his wife had prepared a lot of gifts, he said.
"Wife, we are all family, no need to bring gifts. We have brought a pot of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, that's enough."
This left Lin Yunxi speechless, she emphasized.
"After all, this is our first meeting, so we have to be polite. Besides, Master Zhou and his family have always taken such good care of you."
"It is reasonable for us to be more solemn."
Gu Zheng nodded: "That's true, I'll listen to my wife."
The family of three walked towards Teacher Zhou's home with delicious food and gifts.
Five minutes later, what came into view was a two-story building that was the same as theirs, but the yard and the house were bigger, and the yard was also tidy.
Gu Zheng pushed open the courtyard door in a familiar manner, put down the clay pot in his hand, and shouted towards the kitchen.
"Aunt, I'm bringing my wife and son here to try your specialty."
Hearing the noise, an old woman in her forties or fifties with a kind face walked out of the kitchen holding a spatula.
He smiled and said, "The marinated bones are already in the pot, I guarantee you'll have enough to eat."
She received a call from her old man in the afternoon, so she hurried to buy some big bones and cook them.
Sun Xiuying said in surprise after seeing Lin Yunxi and Yanyan standing nearby.
"Xiao Zheng, this is your wife and child, right?"
