Chapter 73 Midnight Snack
Although it is not winter yet, the autumn wind brings some cool breezes.
Shen Huazheng looked at the ingredients in the big kitchen and decided to have oden for supper.
The soup for oden is not complicated to make. Soak the mushrooms in advance, take some dried shrimps and dried fish, and soak them in cold water.
Choose a few fresh white radishes and apples, peel them and cut them into thick sections.
Then slice the washed carrots, peel and core the apples, and cut into pieces.
Chen Huazheng lit a pot, poured water into it, then put white radish, carrots, apples, mushrooms, dried shrimps and dried fish into the pot and simmered it over low heat.
While the soup base is boiling, start preparing the ingredients.
Qingzhi Qingtang was responsible for the vegetarian dishes. They peeled the washed cabbage leaves one by one and rolled them into small rolls.
Cut the corn into small pieces, make cuts on the back of the mushrooms, and peel the yam and cut into pieces.
Cut the prepared braised tofu into thin slices, fry it in a pan, and also cut some bamboo shoots.
Most of the meat dishes were meatballs. The cook peeled the eggs that had been cooked long ago, and helped Shen Huazheng make some meatballs, lucky bags and shrimp balls.
…
Following Chen Huazheng's instructions, everyone used bamboo sticks to carefully string the processed ingredients together one by one, three at a time, and placed them neatly on the plates.
The ingredients have been skewered and the soup base is ready.
Shen Huazheng took out the apples, dried shrimps and dried fish from the soup, leaving only the stewed white radish, and added sauce and salt to the soup.
The soup in the pot had a slightly brown color, bubbling and steaming.
Just as Shen Huazheng was about to put the skewered ingredients neatly into the pot, she saw Shen Keting walking in from outside the kitchen.
He sniffed the sweet and salty aroma in the air, "Zheng'er, what delicious food are you cooking again?"
"Brother, you're back?"
Shen Huazheng was a little surprised. Wasn't Shen Keting going to be back in two days?
Shen Keting smiled gently, "After the mission is completed, we will return to Beijing early."
He had been away on business these days, and not only had he been eating bland, hard-to-swallow food every day, he also missed the opening of Chen Huazheng Restaurant.
Chen Keting and Jiang Cheng were both eager to return home, and they rushed to the capital as soon as they finished their mission.
After he sent someone to tell Shen Zhaonian and Zhou, he planned to go to the kitchen to see if there was anything to eat.
Shen Huazheng looked at Shen Keting's expression and knew that he must be hungry.
"Brother, you haven't eaten yet. I just made some oden. Let's eat together."
Shen Keting was waiting for Shen Huazheng to say this, and he agreed immediately.
"good."
Chen Huazheng poured the cooked oden soup into a small pot, placed it on the stove beside the table, and put the skewered ingredients and lucky bags into the pot.
Strings of delicious oden ingredients are rolling in the pot, the soup is rich and exudes an enticing aroma.
[It smells so good. The fish balls and shrimps are very fresh. They must be delicious when cooked with oden soup. When it's cold, eating a bowl of hot oden is the most comfortable. It's nutritious and delicious. ]
Fish Ball……
Shrimp Sliders...
Chen Keting's eyelashes twitched slightly. It seemed that Zheng'er had figured out a new food.
Moreover, he was the first person to eat it.
Thinking of this, Shen Keting suddenly felt much better.
He was not in the capital during this period, and not only missed the opening of Yipinlou, but also missed the hand-made fish balls made by Shen Huazheng last time.
So he didn't know that everyone except him had tasted the fish balls.
Steam was rising from the pot, turning it into a vast expanse of white. The rich aroma became even more pronounced.
Chen Keting took a closer look and said, "Zheng'er, is this oden?"
Chen Huazheng nodded: "Yes, you have to make the soup base first, then prepare the ingredients you like and throw them in to cook together. It's delicious!"
Everything can be cooked in oden. As long as it is something you like to eat, whether it is meat or vegetarian, you can throw it all in and cook it together.
The decision to make oden today was a bit sudden, otherwise I could have prepared more ingredients.
