Chapter 33 Traveling Around the World
Ye Shuyi took out the fried dough sticks and placed them in a thin wire basket to dry.
The ingredients of boat porridge are very rich, including sashimi, lean meat, fried dough sticks, peanuts, chopped green onions, shredded eggs, barbecued pork, roast duck minced, squid, etc. It is simply a multi-treasure porridge with rich nutritional value.
These various ingredients are cooked together, fully integrating their respective advantages and flavors to create a pot of delicious and rich porridge.
To make soy milk, Ye Shuyi carefully selects a batch of soybeans, soaks them until softened, then grinds them into soy milk using a soy milk maker, filters them through a fine mesh, and boils them. If conditions permit, stone-grinding soy milk, recreating the ancient method, will make the soy milk more delicate and retain the original mellow and refreshing aroma of soy products.
She put the milky white soy milk in a glass, which looked very much like milk and was steaming.
After the dough was refrigerated, Ye Shuyi took it out and made the bread body. It involved several steps, which I will not go into detail here.
All in all, the butter on the bread turns into crispy crust after baking, which is perfectly combined with the bread.
Ye Shuyi put all the food on a plate and took it out.
"I'm so hungry." Chen Nanfeng said, his eyes lighting up at the sight of food.
He took it on his own initiative and started eating the fried dough sticks without saying a word.
"You can try tearing off some fried dough sticks and putting them into the boat porridge," Ye Shuyi suggested.
Chen Nanfeng had never tried eating it this way, so he did as he was told.
The boat congee is delicious, cooked for a long time, making it very soft and sticky, but not too sticky. The fried dough sticks soften immediately after being added to the congee, absorbing the savory flavor of the congee and neutralizing the burnt and crispy texture of the fried dough sticks.
Chen Nanfeng couldn't stop eating after taking one bite.
He also tried the pineapple buns. The barbecued pork buns were golden yellow with a layer of buttery pastry on top, which looked very crispy and fragrant.
Many pineapple buns become too crispy because they are baked for too long. When you bite them, your mouth will be full of crumbs, which will fall on the ground, on your body, and on the corners of your mouth. It is unsightly and affects the experience.
But the pineapple buns baked by Ye Shuyi are different. She controls the heat perfectly. When you take a bite, there is no residue left and the crispness is not reduced at all.
The bread is soft, and when you bite it, you can feel the air inside being squeezed out, like a cotton ball.
Chen Nanfeng took big bites, so he got the filling in the first bite.
Ye Shuyi uses red bean paste as filling, which is sweet and smooth, but not greasy or sticky, and the taste is just right.
Chen Nanfeng ate the whole thing, drank two mouthfuls of porridge, and then took a bite of shrimp and squid strips.
These may seem unrelated, but they are all incredibly delicious.
"Take your time eating, I'm going to work." Ye Shuyi said this and went to work.
Someone, with his mouth full of food, just hummed twice as hard as he could and had no time to speak.
Ye Junhui came back from buying groceries. He thought Chen Nanfeng was the man pursuing his daughter.
"Nan Feng is here again! Looking for Shu Yi?" He asked even though he knew the answer.
Chen Nanfeng responded vaguely.
Busy eating.
"I'm optimistic about you." Ye Junhui said.
Chen Nanfeng didn't hear it clearly at all, and thought he asked him to eat slowly, so he agreed.
It’s actually very funny.
No matter how handsome a man is, he will become cute once he looks at the food with his eyes shining.
Ye Ji's four employees and four temporary employees all came to work.
One is responsible for management and accounting, one is responsible for researching new dishes, one is responsible for making hand-shredded chicken, oh, Shi Ruoxin can even make yellowfin croaker now, and another is responsible for pastries.
The other four served the dishes.
The division of labor is clear, and Ye Shuyi doesn't have to worry at all.
When people have a little security, they tend to want to rest. Ye Shuyi sat down now, sitting opposite Chen Nanfeng.
The bottom of the plate was even whiter and brighter than his face.
Ye Shuyi felt a sense of accomplishment.
This is the greatest recognition for her. Moreover, not wasting food means she is a good child.
"Are you on duty today? Also, is there no progress on that case? What urgent matter did you have that day?" Ye Shuyi asked three questions at once.
Chen Nanfeng answered one by one: "I'm on duty. There's no progress in the case. It was my mother who asked me to go back yesterday. She lied to me with an excuse again."
"Huh? What do you mean?" Ye Shuyi didn't understand.
What's the point of lying between Ye Junhui and his mother?
"Alas." Chen Nanfeng crossed his legs. "Maybe they want me to do something I don't like and don't want me to continue investigating cases at the police station."
There is no solution.
His life could have been different.
Who says he must inherit the family business and become a business tycoon?
He is not that kind of person, unlike the male protagonists on TV.
However, this may be the life that many ordinary people dream of.
"What kind of life?" Ye Shuyi pushed the soup bowl over to make it easier for them to clean up.
"Well... I like to act spontaneously and never know what I'm going to do. One of my dreams is to travel around the world and also to help people." This was the first time he said this to anyone.
"Oh!" Ye Shuyi held her chin in her hand. "Your family is so rich, shouldn't it be easy to travel around the world?"
Can this be considered ideal?
The dreams of rich people are a bit too simple.
"That's different. When I talk about traveling, it's more like wandering. When I was twenty, I went to the Sahara without telling my family. I only lived there for a week before my dad and mom caught me and brought me back. They said it was too dangerous to go out alone, and if I dared to do it again, they would cut off my living expenses. But I still think those days were fresh and interesting."
However, he has been under close scrutiny since then.
He has a family business to inherit.
He is the only male in the family, so there can be no mistakes.
"Yeah." Ye Shuyi nodded.
"Also, my current career. At the beginning, they insisted that I study finance, saying that it would be good for the family and that there were enough resources at home for me to practice. But I find it very boring and too old-fashioned," said Chen Nanfeng.
"Oh, so you called the police?" Ye Shuyi wasn't sure if that was the direct name of the major.
"Well, they watched me fill out the application form. I pretended to agree, but changed it the day before the deadline. When the admission results came out, it was a done deal and there was nothing they could do." Chen Nanfeng talked about the "glorious past".
Ye Shuyi listened very carefully and found that the Chen Nanfeng in front of her was very different from the one she knew in the past.
The man in front of me didn't look like a man, but a boy, chattering about his growth experience.
She had never seen such a contrast before.
"Well, I know. It's not easy for you."
I didn't expect the topic to go so far.
"What has changed now? They also want to make the decision on my marriage. If they urge me again, I will want to leave Hong Kong Island. What about you, as my personal chef, will you leave with me?" Chen Nanfeng suddenly asked.
"Ah?" Ye Shuyi was surprised.
When she heard the word marriage, she shuddered.
Hearing about leaving Hong Kong Island with him, she shuddered again.
