Chapter 284 Tofu Balls
"Sister Xiaoyu, Huanhuan and I will have one bowl each, and the other little squirrels will have one bowl each."
Liu Yu used a clean hand to scratch his fleshy little nose, amusingly catching him making a speech error.
"One bowl per person? Sister made so much and only gave away one bowl. Isn't that a bit wasteful?"
Lingbao was stunned, his little head still unable to wrap its head around it for a moment, but Huanhuan got the meaning and jumped up and down to help shout, "Little black squirrels, one bowl each!"
Only then did Lingbao's cheeks flush with shyness, and he quickly agreed: "Hey, Sister Xiaoyu's cooking smells so good! We're going to eat many, many bowls——"
"Haha, okay—"
Liu Yu responded to Lingbao's childish talk with a smile, and calmly poured the drained tofu balls into another pot, scooped a ladle of bone stick soup and continued to cook.
When the soup boils, the fresh aroma of the bones is blended into the sweet and crispy fried tofu balls, and then sprinkle with a handful of chopped green onions, and the dish is ready.
In an instant, a layered and overbearing fragrance wafted into everyone's nose, causing everyone's originally thirsty mouths to secrete a lot of saliva.
The golden and crispy tofu balls roll in the milky and rich soup, occasionally dotted with green onion leaves.
White and green, it looks very beautiful.
The air above the giant black squirrels' nests was suddenly filled with the rich aroma of beans, bones, onions, and a hint of pepper.
All kinds of strange flavors mixed together to form a very wonderful taste!
Just the smell makes people drool. The squirrels that were attracted by the fragrance from the surrounding stoves all of a sudden gathered towards Liu Yu's pot, regardless of age.
“Squeak, squeak, squeak!”
“Squeak, squeak, squeak!”
There was a circle of black squirrels around, jumping anxiously. Liu Yu knew without Xu Wei's translation that they were anxious for food.
Xu Wei calmly took a bite of the candied walnuts Xu Shuyao had made. They were indeed fragrant and delicious. But she was still drawn to the fragrant aroma coming from Captain Yu's side.
She chewed a walnut in her mouth and glanced at Xu Shuyao, who was busy and sweating, and said in a teasing tone: "Shuyao, you lost."
Xu Shuyao wiped the sweat from her forehead, pleased with her craftsmanship. But her sister Yu's scent was truly enticing, and she was convinced of her defeat, with good reason.
At this moment, he did not feel unhappy at all. Instead, he happily pulled Xu Wei's wrist and hurriedly squeezed into the pile of black squirrels.
"Stop talking nonsense and help me squeeze in! Every meal Sister Yu makes is a delicacy. One bite less, no matter how many there are, there's no winning or losing. My ultimate goal in life is to eat more of Sister Yu's cooking!"
Xu Wei laughed out loud at her optimistic and hardworking appearance, and couldn't help but be invited to squeeze with her.
Indeed, Xu Shuyao is such a sincere and simple person.
But the competition was as fierce as a supermarket sale. Even though Xu Shuyao pushed hard, she couldn't squeeze as fast as Li Guangzong, who had a power-type psychic leading the way.
Li Guangzong relied on Xu Yang's calmness to lead the way and became the first member of the Spark Team to rush into the squirrel group.
As soon as he entered, he shamelessly grabbed the chopsticks and picked up the tofu meatballs, shouting, "Sister Yu, Sister Yu, let me give you a taste of the saltiness!"
As he said that, he shamelessly picked up a hot tofu ball and put it into his mouth, chewing it while breathing on it.
Then, the moment he tasted it, he couldn't help but give a thumbs-up and shouted, "Si! It's so hot! It's so delicious!"
He swallowed a mouthful of tofu meatballs whole and exclaimed in praise, "Sister Yu, your cooking skills are incredible. Every dish you make is so delicious. I've eaten so many dishes made by famous chefs in my life, but yours is the best! I've never tasted tofu meatballs better than these!"
Xu Shuyao's face flushed from being squeezed in the crowd. Finally, with Xu Wei's help, she managed to squeeze into the front row. As soon as she squeezed in, she called out anxiously, "Li Guangzong, get out of the way! Leave some for me!"
Xu Shuyao begged Liu Yu for a bowl with a ferocious face. Liu Yu really couldn't stand her starving look, so he urged her to fill the bowl first.
The moment Xu Shuyao held the bowl, it was as if her soul had returned to her body and she regained her sanity.
After leaving the crowded crowd, he pulled Xu Wei to a corner and hid there to taste the food, fearing that someone or a rat would snatch it from her.
"Weiwei, let me try a bite first, and then we can each have half!"
Seeing her eager look, Xu Wei wondered how she would snatch it away. She nodded with a smirk and waited to admire her rich expression when she tasted the delicious food.
Sure enough, after Xu Shuyao blew the milky white soup from the bowl of noodles with her pouting lips, she took a small sip and an expression of amazement immediately appeared on her face.
What a delicious soup!
This freshness is not the kind of freshness of seafood, but the kind of plant freshness contained in tofu.
The soup is obviously made from fried tofu, but it is not greasy at all, but rather refreshing and fragrant.
She carefully picked up a tofu ball, bit through the crispy outer layer, and the soft and tender tofu inside was revealed.
If you look closely, you will see that the tofu is mixed with some minced meat and mashed yam. This wonderful combination creates a unique taste that melts in your mouth and is extremely delicious.
What’s even more amazing is that there is a small cavity in the innermost layer of the meatball, which is filled with thick and delicious soup.
It felt like bone broth seeping through the cracks in the tofu balls, or like a thick juice secreted from the heated minced meat and mashed yam.
But no matter which method is used to prepare the soup, the moment it enters your mouth, a burst of deliciousness will rush straight to the top of your head!
This soup has the freshness of bone marrow, the saltiness of minced meat, and the sweetness of yam paste. All the flavors blend together perfectly, making you unable to stop!
