Chapter 26 Family Banquet
*
At the family dinner, everyone gathered together and had a great time.
Upon learning that Zhou Ying was willing to divorce, the elders of the Zhou family were very happy. The heavy stone that had been weighing on their hearts was finally put down.
Now that Zhou Ying has stopped being so stubborn, they can start negotiating the divorce with the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion.
The dinner began, and the maids came in one after another, placing plate after plate of delicious food on the table.
"Zheng'er, I heard from your mother that there will be dishes cooked by you at the dinner table tonight. What did you cook?"
Madam Zhou knew that Chen Huazheng had made a great contribution to Zhou Ying's ability to figure it out this time.
She held Shen Huazheng's hand, overjoyed.
Their Zheng'er is their little lucky star!
When the others heard what Old Madam Zhou said, they pricked up their ears, and they also wanted to know what dishes Shen Huazheng had cooked.
Zhou Zeyan, the youngest son of the eldest wife, stared at Chen Huazheng without blinking. Apart from Zhou Ying, Zhou Zeyan had the best relationship with Chen Huazheng among all the children in the Zhou family.
Chen Huazheng smiled: "Grandma, my granddaughter made two dishes today. One is Tai Chi vegetarian soup, and the other is oyster omelette."
As soon as she finished speaking, a maid came forward and placed white porcelain soup bowls in front of everyone.
The maids skillfully arranged the dishes and opened the lids, their movements flowing like flowing water.
As soon as the lid of the soup bowl was opened, a fresh fragrance wafted to the face.
Smelling the aroma, everyone subconsciously looked at the soup bowl in front of them.
The soup is in the shape of a green and white Bagua pattern. The green part of the soup is emerald green and translucent like jade, just like a pool of green duckweed, fresh and lovely.
The white part of the soup is as smooth as solidified fat and as white as snow, making people want to taste it.
Chen Huazheng introduced: "This is Tai Chi Vegetarian Soup."
This dish is called Tai Chi Vegetarian Soup, and it also has another name called National Protection Dish.
Although it is a vegetarian dish, its cooking method is like that of a vegetarian dish with meat.
You need to first remove the tendons from the sweet potato leaves and clean them, then soak them in alkaline water and squeeze them dry to remove the bitterness, then cut them horizontally, add oil and stir-fry, then add straw mushrooms, minced ham and other condiments, and simmer them with chicken broth.
Finally, add egg white into the soup and carefully outline the Tai Chi Bagua shape.
[Vegetarian soup can be used as both medicine and food. It can not only nourish qi and blood, nourish the liver and improve eyesight, promote wound healing, but also lower cholesterol and enhance immunity. ]
Old Master Zhou and Old Madam Zhou's minds moved at the same time, replenishing their qi and blood, nourishing their liver and improving their eyesight.
Zheng'er must have made this Tai Chi vegetarian soup for his/her old bones.
Zhou Zeyan's eyes lit up as he accurately captured the words "promote wound healing".
Could it be that Zheng'er knew that he was injured during training today, so she specially made this dish?
Zhou's expression was so gentle that water could drip from it. No wonder people say daughters are caring little cotton-padded jackets. Zheng'er is much more filial than her brothers.
When Zhou Ying heard the words “replenishing qi and nourishing blood”, the corners of her lips couldn’t help but rise.
Zheng'er always thinks about her cousin and is considerate of her in everything. She must treat Zheng'er better in the future.
The other members of the Zhou family also smiled and looked at Shen Huazheng tenderly.
Although I don’t know what cholesterol and immunity are, and I don’t understand the meaning of lowering cholesterol and improving immunity, it sounds like it means good for the body.
This soup looks delicious. I didn't expect it to be good for the body. Zheng'er is really thoughtful.
Just when everyone in the Zhou family was immersed in their imaginations and unable to extricate themselves, the maid brought up the last dish.
Chen Huazheng spoke again: “This is oyster omelette.”
Everyone looked at the plate of golden and crispy things that looked like pancakes.
Fresh and tender oysters lay on the crispy cake, and the chopped eggs inside were vaguely visible. Just looking at them made people's appetites growl. When he smelled the overbearing aroma, Zhou Jinyan began to swallow his saliva.
[Today's oysters are all fresh and tender, perfect for making oyster omelette. Dip them in the special fish sauce, it's absolutely amazing! ! ]
The younger generations of the Zhou family couldn't help but swallow their saliva and looked at Old Master Zhou and Old Madam Zhou eagerly.
Only when the two of them started eating, the dinner officially began and the younger generations could start eating.
Old Master Zhou: ...
He picked up the serving chopsticks and reached for the chopped oyster omelet.
The freshly fried oyster omelette has a tangy aroma, and the oysters embedded on it are plump and tender, and they tremble slightly when picked up with chopsticks.
I don’t know what method was used, but the freshness and tenderness of the oysters were perfectly preserved.
Take a gentle bite, the golden crispy skin on the outside of the oyster omelette and the trembling tender meat of the oyster inside are intertwined in your mouth, and the juice explodes instantly.
Old Master Zhou narrowed his eyes slightly, "It's delicious. Zheng'er's cooking skills are really good."
This oyster omelette is delicious and crispy, crispy but not hard, crunchy but not soft, fresh and smooth when eaten, fragrant but not greasy.
It's amazing that Zheng'er could think of such an approach!
Old Madam Zhou picked up the spoon and stirred the soup in the bowl.
The Tai Chi vegetarian soup in the shape of the Bagua pattern suddenly turned into an elegant emerald green jade soup with a refreshing fragrance.
Taking a bite, you will find it soft, smooth, tender and full of freshness and fragrance.
The fragrance of sweet potato leaves, the richness of chicken soup, the deliciousness of straw mushrooms and ham... bloom on the tip of your tongue little by little.
Although there is no meat, it is full of meat flavor.
"This vegetable soup is delicious. Zheng'er is very thoughtful."
Madam Zhou doesn't cook often, but she knows that compared to making a meat dish, it is much more difficult to make a vegetarian dish that is delicious and attractive.
Just take a sip of this vegetarian soup and you will be able to appreciate the thought that the granddaughter put into it.
Finally, after Old Master Zhou and Old Madam Zhou started eating, other members of the Zhou family also started eating.
When Old Master Zhou saw that his wife, who was always picky, praised the vegetarian soup made by Chen Huazheng, he also smiled and picked up the spoon to taste it.
As soon as he took a bite of the vegetarian soup, Old Master Zhou was stunned.
This soup has such rich flavors beneath its seemingly ordinary appearance.
It is green and fragrant, delicate and smooth. It tastes fresh and refreshing, leaving a lingering fragrance in your mouth.
A sentence suddenly popped up in his mind - the green soup was served in a jade bowl, fragrant but not greasy, and it balanced the yin and yang.
Shen Huazheng stirred the soup bowl, scooped up a spoonful, brought it to her lips, and blew gently.
The food is smooth and creamy when you pick it up with chopsticks, and the soft fragrance remains when you chew it.
Tai Chi vegetarian soup is her favorite among many soups.
The Zhou family does not have the rule of not talking while eating or sleeping.
But no one talked during this meal, everyone was just concentrating on eating.
The oyster omelette has a crispy and refreshing skin, and is tender and soft on the inside. Dip it in fish sauce and put it in your mouth. The delicious and crispy taste immediately spreads on the tip of your tongue.
The deliciousness of the oysters and the crispness of the pancakes complement each other, with rich taste layers. How can you describe it in one word: “delicious”.
Tai Chi Vegetarian Vegetable Soup is colorful, fragrant and delicious. The sweet potato leaves in it fully absorb the aroma of the broth and have a very rich taste. The vegetable soup has a smooth texture, delicate fragrance, smooth and delicious, with a certain toughness. It is simply a kind of enjoyment to eat.
Everyone enjoyed the meal very much, and both their taste buds and souls seemed to be satisfied.
