Chapter 5 How many delicious foods have you missed?
"When frying the dough sticks, remember to turn them over frequently so that each side of the dough sticks is fried evenly. In addition to turning them over, you also need to pay attention to the oil temperature."
In the big kitchen, Shen Huazheng instructed the cooks to fry dough sticks. It was not difficult to fry dough sticks, but if you wanted the dough sticks to be big, fluffy and crispy, you had to be patient.
The fried dough sticks in the frying pan continue to become fluffy and bigger, the color gradually darkens, and the outer skin slowly changes from light yellow to golden yellow.
Seeing that the cooks were gradually getting the hang of it, Chen Huazheng let them do it.
She walked to the pot on the side and prepared to cook meat wontons.
The wrapped fresh meat wontons were neatly arranged on the chopping board, and in the pot was bone soup that had been simmering for several hours.
As soon as the soup boiled, Shen Huazheng started to put the wontons in.
These days are holidays in Daliang, so the Imperial College is naturally closed as well.
The original owner's second brother, Chen Kesi, and third brother, Chen Keheng, returned from the Imperial College yesterday, so today's breakfast was a little larger than usual for them.
"Second brother, third brother. Where are you going?"
When Shen Huazheng came out of the big kitchen and passed by the small garden nearby, she saw Shen Kesi and Shen Keheng who were about to go out.
"Zheng'er," Shen Kesi said with a smile on his face, "We are going to the bookstore."
As soon as the voice fell, Shen Keheng on the side took over, "Zheng'er, do you want to go with us? Brother will take you around."
They are twins, two years older than the original owner, and are sixteen years old this year.
Although they look similar, Shen Kesi and Shen Keheng have very different personalities.
Chen Keheng is more outgoing, while Chen Kesi is more steady.
"I won't go," Shen Huazheng shook her head. She wasn't very interested in places like bookstores. "Don't you want to go after breakfast?"
Before Shen Kesi could speak, Shen Keheng said first, "No, we can just go out and buy a cake."
The breakfast at home is always the same, even the variety has never changed, I really have no appetite.
Chen Huazheng nodded to show her understanding. Seeing how anxious they were, they must be buying some very important books, the kind that would be sold out if they went too late.
[If I had known that my second and third brothers would not be at home for breakfast, I would not have made so many fried dough sticks and wontons. ]
Shen Kesi: ???
Chen Keheng: ???
So today's breakfast was made by my sister?
Shen Kesi coughed uncomfortably, "Actually, there's no need to rush to the bookstore. We just want to see what new books have been published recently."
"Yes," Chen Keheng agreed, "Think about it carefully, there is no need for us to go to the bookstore now. We should have breakfast at home first."
This is the breakfast that their sister specially prepared for them, so they have to eat it before leaving.
Regardless of how it tastes, it is after all a token of my sister’s love for them.
If I don't eat it, my sister will be sad.
Chen Huazheng didn't think much about it, "Then let's go together."
Steaming soy milk, fried dough sticks and wontons were placed on the table one after another, and Shen Kesi and Shen Keheng were stunned.
They thought Shen Huazheng was just making some simple meals like porridge and side dishes, but they didn't expect them to be things they had never seen before.
And it looks delicious.
Shen Kesi subconsciously looked at his parents and eldest brother and found that they all looked calm.
It seemed that during the time that he and his third brother were staying in the Imperial College, something happened at home that they were unaware of.
Shen Keheng couldn't help but shout, "Zheng'er, what are these?"
Chen Huazheng pointed at the breakfast on the table: "This is fried dough sticks, and this is fresh meat wonton."
After a pause, she added, "Dough sticks are best eaten with soy milk. Second brother, third brother, you can try it."
Shen Zhaonian looked at everyone and said in a gentle tone, "Let's start eating."
Shen Keheng had been waiting for this sentence. He was quick-witted and picked up the largest fried dough stick with chopsticks and took a big bite.
The fried dough sticks are golden and crispy on the outside, but extremely soft on the inside.
Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, you can feel the unique layers of texture with every bite.
The combination of these two completely different textures, crispy and soft, makes the food taste unique.
Shen Keheng ate one bite after another and couldn't stop.
After swallowing the fried dough sticks in his mouth, Shen Keheng took another sip of soy milk.
The soy milk is mellow and fragrant, smooth and delicate in the mouth, without any bean smell.
After swallowing it in one gulp, the liquid with a strong bean flavor slides down the throat into the stomach.
Shen Keheng drank half a bowl of soy milk in one go. He didn't expect that soy milk could be so delicious.
Shen Kesi stirred the wontons in the bowl with a spoon. The steaming hot air was filled with a strong meaty aroma, stimulating his senses.
The skin of the wontons is very thin. After cooking, it becomes crystal clear and you can faintly see the meat filling inside.
He scooped up a small wonton with a spoon and started eating.
The filling of the wontons includes not only pork but also chopped fresh shrimp.
Take a light bite and the delicious juice will explode in your mouth. The wonton skin is very chewy and complements the delicious meat filling inside.
Even the bone broth that serves as the soup base is extremely refreshing and delicious.
Shen Kesi finished a whole bowl of wontons in one breath, and even drank up all the soup in the bowl.
The warmth slowly flows from the stomach to the internal organs and even the whole body, and I feel like my whole body is relaxed.
Shen Kesi put down the spoon and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this is life.
The Shen family has no rules of not talking while eating or sleeping.
While eating, Shen Zhaonian and Zhou would chat about family matters or tell some interesting stories.
Shen Keting and Shen Huazheng would occasionally say a few words, but Shen Kesi and Shen Keheng didn't say a word the whole time. They were all enjoying the food seriously.
After breakfast, Shen Kesi and Shen Keheng also came back to their senses from the conversation with their family members.
I didn’t expect that during the time they stayed in the Imperial College, my sister actually cooked so many delicious foods that I had never heard of before.
If breakfast can be prepared in so many ways, how rich and delicious must lunch and dinner be!
Realizing what they had missed, Shen Kesi and Shen Keheng touched their bellies in grief.
Woohoo, they also want to eat meals cooked by their sister every day.
