Chapter 384: Of course you have to enjoy your vacation
Chen Zhaonian was full of pride: "Yes, my daughter is the best. No matter what kind of food, as long as she changes the cooking method, it will immediately become delicious with a completely different taste."
Everyone at the table nodded in agreement.
Shen Huazheng smiled and continued to eat.
The charm of food probably lies in the inadvertent collisions between understatements, which always produce unexpected sparks.
Seemingly random combinations can often create soul-delicious dishes.
Everyone was happily eating the steamed yellow croaker with oil and salt, immersed in the tender, smooth, fresh and sweet taste.
Chen Keheng ate the baked crab with gusto. Although his parents and Zheng'er said that the fish was delicious, he was still a little worried.
What if there is another fish bone stuck in the throat? ?
Let’s eat the crab meat first.
He picked up the bright yellow and smooth crab paste with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.
The crab roe is semi-fluid and looks like salted egg yolk like quicksand.
But once you put it in your mouth, you can immediately feel the smooth and sweet taste that is very different from the salted egg yolk.
The crab meat is plump and tender.
The meat is tender and fat, it is really delicious.
Everyone in the Shen family was eating the dishes on the table and chatting about family matters. The atmosphere was very warm and harmonious.
After the meal, the maids cleared the dishes from the table and brought up the prepared desserts.
Everyone looked in amazement at the bowls that were brought to them, filled with plump, soft and cute dumplings.
Eating glutinous rice balls during the Spring Festival is a very normal thing, but the glutinous rice balls in this bowl are surprisingly colorful.
"Zheng'er, why are these dumplings colorful? Is the filling different?"
"Yes, different colored dumplings contain different fillings."
Chen Huazheng smiled and pointed at the various colored dumplings in the bowl and introduced them:
"The fillings in the dumplings of different colors are different. The white dumplings with yellow stripes are quicksand dumplings, the light yellow ones are pumpkin dumplings, the purple ones are purple potato dumplings, and the white ones are sesame dumplings."
Chen Keheng looked at the soft and glutinous white dumplings in the bowl: "Zheng'er, are quicksand dumplings the same as quicksand buns?"
Chen Huazheng: "Yes, it is a smaller version of the lava bun. But compared to the lava bun, I think the glutinous rice skin of the rice dumpling is more compatible with the lava filling inside."
Hearing this, Shen Keheng's eyes lit up.
His favorite thing is lava buns. When he takes a bite, the golden filling flows out with a crunchy texture.
According to Zheng'er, these lava dumplings are even more delicious than lava buns.
If that's true, he would have to eat at least two bowls.
Hehehe~~
Chen Huazheng looked at everyone and said, "Try how these dumplings taste."
The Shen family agreed immediately: "Okay, okay, we'll try it now."
It is a must to eat a bowl of hot glutinous rice balls during the Spring Festival, especially when they are colorful.
Just looking at it, I feel that the meaning is very good.
Shen Zhaonian picked up the spoon, scooped up a black sesame dumpling, blew on it a few times, and put it into his mouth.
As soon as your teeth bite through the soft and glutinous outer skin, the warm black sesame filling flows out and falls into your mouth.
The rich sesame aroma immediately fills your entire mouth.
If you taste it carefully, you will find that the mellow and smooth black sesame filling and the sweet and soft glutinous rice crust are perfectly blended together, tightly wrapping the taste buds, making you can't help but exclaim that it is delicious.
Shen Keheng ate the quicksand glutinous rice balls first. The outer skin of the glutinous rice balls was of moderate thickness. With a light bite, the quicksand filling inside flowed into his mouth.
The lava filling is semi-solid and has a sandy texture when eaten.
It is soft, glutinous and smooth, salty and sweet, with a rich salted egg yolk aroma, and it won’t make you feel sick at all.
Zheng'er was right. The soft and chewy glutinous rice ball skin really goes better with the lava filling.
Everyone else was also eating the glutinous rice balls in their bowls bite by bite. Each glutinous rice ball with different fillings tasted different.
Some are silky and sweet, some are thick and fragrant, some are as fine as soft sand, and some are soft, sticky and smooth.
Bite into the soft and sticky outer skin, and the filling inside will pour out, and every bite is full of happiness.
After eating several glutinous rice balls in a row, Shen Keheng suddenly thought of something: "Zheng'er, Third Brother tasted the candied haws you sent today, they are really delicious. I like the orange ones the best."
When talking about Tanghulu, others also started to speak:
"It's really delicious. I didn't expect that in addition to hawthorn, apples and oranges can also be made into candied haws."
"Apples are usually quite bland, but I never thought they would be so delicious when made into candied haws."
"Hawthorn ones are also delicious. The candied haws made by Zheng'er are much more delicious than those sold outside."
"The hawthorns used to make the candied haws are grown by Zheng'er and her friends themselves, so of course they are delicious."
"Yeah, the orange ones are good too."
Although the other members of the Shen family did not have afternoon tea with Shen Huazheng in the afternoon, Shen Huazheng also had people send candied haws and fruit tea to each courtyard.
Chen Keheng: "Zheng'er, are there other fruits that can be made into candied haws?"
Chen Huazheng smiled and said, "Third brother is really smart. There are indeed many fruits that can be made into candied haws."
Shen Keheng chuckled a little embarrassedly: "Zheng'er is still smarter, not only smart, but also dexterous."
His sister is the smartest and most beautiful woman in the world.
Shen Kesi suddenly looked at Shen Keheng: "Have you thought about what Taiming said before? You have to give him an answer today."
Shen Keheng was stunned for a moment, then he remembered what Shen Kesi said.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Wei Zeduo followed the Wei family to the Shen family to pay New Year's greetings.
Wei Zeduo told Shen Kesi and Shen Keheng that apart from some necessary activities, he had basically been studying at home during this period.
If that day had not been the first day of the new year, he would not have even left the house.
When leaving the Shen Mansion after paying New Year's greetings, Wei Zeduo also invited Shen Kesi and Shen Keheng to go to the suburbs to practice riding and archery together on the morning of the fifth day of the New Year, and then go to the Wei family to review their studies together.
Shen Keheng was very shocked at the time. Although Wei Zeduo's attitude towards studying could not be said to be perfunctory, it was definitely not positive.
Even during the annual examination, Wei Zeduo was not as hardworking as Shen Keheng.
I don’t know why, but he seemed like a different person after the holiday.
I really can't figure it out and I don't know what Wei Zeduo has been through.
Shen Kesi thought Shen Keheng hadn't thought about it yet: "Are you going to the suburbs of Beijing the day after tomorrow?"
Chen Keheng shook his head like a rattle: "No, I'm not going. I finally have a holiday, and it's Chinese New Year. Of course I have to rest well at home and enjoy myself."
Before the Imperial College went on holiday, he had already suffered so much for the annual examination, and now all he wanted to do was lie down at home.
Chat with your family and enjoy delicious food.
Why don't you endure the hardship?
Wei Zeduo was the same. It would have been fine if he had just gone to practice horse riding and archery during the New Year, but he actually invited others to his house to review their lessons.
Even if he needs to review his lessons, he would of course do it at home.
However, today is already the third day of the New Year, and the day after tomorrow will be the fifth day.
It is indeed time to give Wei Zeduo an answer.
Shen Keheng: "Second brother, I don't want to go anywhere these days. I just want to stay at home. It's time to go to school in a few days."
When he thought about going to the Imperial College to study in a few days, the resentment in his heart suddenly reappeared.
No matter what, he had to make the most of this holiday.
Otherwise, there is no way I can go back to school willingly.
Shen Kesi nodded: "Okay, then I will send someone to pass the message to him later."
Since Shen Keheng is not going, he won't go either.
Anyway, he didn't want to go out in such a cold weather, so it was fine for him to stay at home.
Zhou ate the dumplings while watching her children interacting with each other.
Although this year's Spring Festival is not much different from previous years, it feels a lot more lively.
It’s been a long time since I had such a lively Spring Festival.
This year Zheng'er has regained her sanity, and the house is filled with laughter all day long.
Even the whole family has become different.
It seemed as if everything suddenly became smooth overnight, and all kinds of good luck followed.
As expected, their Zheng'er is a child blessed by God.
Shen Zhaonian originally wanted to let the children not be so lazy, and not stay at home all day during the holidays, but at least go out for a walk.
But on second thought, the children only have a few more days left to stay at home.
In a few days, they will have to go to work or go to school.
Shen Zhaonian sighed in his heart, it’s okay, it will only take a few days.
Besides, holidays are meant for rest.
Since the children like to stay at home, just let them be.
Shen Keting felt that what Shen Keheng said made sense, and that one should sleep in at home in winter.
What's so good about horseback archery? It's not too late to go when the weather warms up.
While eating the glutinous rice balls, Shen Huazheng was thinking about how to combine them with other ingredients to make a delicious snack.
The family of six ate the dumplings in their bowls, each with different thoughts in their minds.
The only thing that was synchronized was their chewing movements and the corners of their mouths that couldn't help but curl up.
