Chapter 40: Shen Huazheng's Craftsmanship
When it was almost time for lunch, Princess An stayed because of Zhou's cordial invitation.
She had been craving for the food made by Shen Huazheng since she heard about it. Now that she had the chance to taste Shen Huazheng's cooking, she naturally would not miss it.
After the maids served all the dishes, Shen Huazheng introduced them to Princess An and the others one by one: "This is sweet and sour spareribs, soy sauce chicken, this is mapo tofu, omelette rice..."
For lunch, we prepared sweet and sour pork ribs, salty soy sauce chicken, and a spicy dish that was appetizing - Mapo tofu.
Shen Huazheng also made an omelette rice specially for Xiao Jingran, and the recipe for omelette rice was also included in the recipe she gave to Princess An.
When Shen Huazheng was unhappy as a child, her grandmother would make omelette rice for her.
When she grew up, every time she ate omelette rice, Shen Huazheng felt like she was back in her childhood.
After making the omelette rice, Shen Huazheng squeezed some ketchup on it as decoration.
Compared to bland white rice, omelet rice combines soft and fragrant rice, fresh fried eggs and rich side dishes. It is both beautiful and delicious, making people unforgettable after one taste.
Shen Huazheng felt that Xiao Jingran would definitely like it.
Princess An looked at the dishes on the table: the golden sweet and sour pork ribs, the red and white mapo tofu, the bright soy sauce chicken, the green and tender vegetables, and the omelette rice in front of Xiao Jingran.
The air was filled with a strong fragrance, which kept coming into Princess An's nose.
She couldn't help swallowing her saliva. Just by looking at the appearance of the food and the tempting aroma, she could imagine how delicious it was.
Zhou smiled and said, "Everyone, please start eating."
Xiao Jingran held a spoon in his hand and looked at the exquisite omelette rice in front of him with some hesitation.
The outer egg skin is light yellow, and the inside is bulging, making people want to cut open the egg skin to find out what's inside.
But the omelette rice was sealed tightly and he didn't know where to start.
Chen Huazheng said gently: “You can poke a hole here, eat the fried rice inside first, and then eat the egg skin outside.”
Xiao Jingran nodded and gently poked the egg skin with a spoon.
The golden egg skin was poked and cracked, and a mixture of egg and rice aroma immediately wafted to the face.
The fried rice inside was light yellow in color, with distinct grains, and some of it flowed out from the opening all at once.
In addition to rice, there are also diced carrots, corn kernels, beans and bacon chunks.
Xiao Jingran scooped up a spoonful with a spoon, brought it to his mouth, blew it gently, and put it in his mouth——
He chewed slowly; the sweetness of the carrots and corn kernels, the fragrance of the beans, and the salty flavor of the bacon chunks all permeated the rice.
It tastes rich and layered, it is really delicious!
After swallowing the fried rice in his mouth, Xiao Jingran scooped up another spoonful of fried rice with egg skin and put it into his mouth——
The egg skin is slightly crispy on the outside and soft and tender on the inside, combined with the rich and delicious fried rice.
Every bite is a pleasure!
Under Princess An's surprised gaze, Xiao Jingran took a spoon and started eating the omelette rice in big mouthfuls.
While Princess An was eating, she secretly paid attention to Xiao Jingran's eating situation.
It was the first time she saw Xiao Jingran so active while eating.
Seeing him like this, Princess An felt relieved and her appetite improved a lot.
Princess Lejia had already seen Xiao Jingran eating rice balls and chicken rolls, but she didn't have any special reaction.
What's more, with the delicious food made by Shen Huazheng in front of her, she would not spend extra energy to do other things and just focus on eating.
