According to Zhang Jianjun, this "purity" is the most precious and valuable aspect.
Many dishes these days look fancy and complicated, but you don't know what they are until you taste them.
The ingredients themselves have no flavor at all.
When customers order this dish, isn't this the taste they want? If you can't taste the original flavor of the ingredients used in a dish, then what's the point of eating it?
Lin Zhou's cooking skills are still better.
It can bring out the best flavor of the ingredients themselves, and can also be combined with seasonings and cooking methods to take the taste of food to the next level.
This is such a rare thing!
Zhang Jianjun guessed that only someone like Lin Zhou, who doesn't have to worry about money and has abundant resources to learn culinary skills and is solely focused on pursuing culinary expertise, could have such outstanding skills at such a young age.
Those who can live in the royal capital are all wealthy and powerful, a place that ordinary people can't even afford. Lin Zhou's ability to live here signifies a great deal.
It's likely that she's loved cooking since she was little, so her family provides her with instruction from famous chefs from all over the world, and an endless supply of all kinds of ingredients—she has everything she could want.
That's how I developed my amazing culinary skills.
Moreover, despite having such culinary skills, Lin Zhou didn't open a restaurant or work as a chef to earn money. Instead, he freely rode his tricycle around setting up stalls.
I guess he just wants to improve his cooking skills, not for the purpose of making money, but to maintain his culinary skills and enjoy the process.
Lin Zhou greeted each diner with a happy expression.
Zhang Jianjun became even more convinced of his guess.
Otherwise, how can we explain why someone with money and skills would work so hard every day to set up a stall?
With Lin Zhou's culinary skills, he could easily apply for a job as a chef for state banquets. Not to mention, if he wanted to make money, he could open a restaurant, cook a few dishes, and the line of people making reservations would probably stretch from Jiangdong all the way overseas.
Like now, they cook and set up stalls to serve food to passersby who don't know much about food. They think that 100 yuan for a bowl of porridge is expensive. They don't know that this level of porridge could sell for thousands or tens of thousands of yuan a bowl in a big restaurant, and the portion is only one bite.
They really don't appreciate it!
Zhang Jianjun shook his head regretfully as he watched a customer leave after asking about the price and finding it too expensive.
It's a pity this person doesn't understand how delicious this seafood congee is!
One bowl isn't enough; you have to eat two big bowls to feel satisfied. You have to eat until you're completely full to feel that blissful feeling of having your appetite aroused and then satisfied.
In the sweltering summer heat, after eating two large bowls of steaming hot seafood porridge, I was covered in sweat.
But it was exceptionally refreshing.
The food was fresh, chewy, bouncy, and tender. Every diner present praised it highly, focusing only on putting spoonful after spoonful into their mouths, oblivious to everything else.
The young couple who bought the porridge didn't even look up while eating.
Chinese people don't lie to other Chinese people; they are truly honest with me!
Fresh crab roe, with its rich and creamy texture, is stir-fried until fragrant and then stewed in porridge. It seems to be everywhere, present in every bite, yet you can't taste any large chunks of crab roe. It's so delicious that it makes your mouth water even more.
The rice porridge looks glossy and has an appealing color and rich texture. However, it is not greasy when you eat it. It is fresh, fragrant, and flavorful.
I wonder how long it was stewed to achieve such a delicious taste.
The whole shrimp, cooked to a vibrant red, curled up in the rice porridge, exuding an irresistible aroma.
It tastes so fresh and bouncy; I can hardly believe it's shrimp meat.
It's so fresh it's almost enough to make your eyebrows fall off.
"Boss, what kind of porridge are you selling tomorrow?"
After finishing his porridge, Xie Hong couldn't bear to look at Cao Hongxin, who was showing affection for his girlfriend not far away.
Seeing that they still wanted to play for a while longer and weren't in a hurry, he moved closer to Lin Zhou.
"We've been selling savory porridge for two days in a row. Tomorrow we'll sell sweet porridge, eight-treasure porridge."
"Oh? Sweet porridge? I wanted seafood porridge too!"
Xie Hong, like a greedy cat, licked his lips while glancing pitifully at Lin Zhou, having inexplicably learned to beg for food and act coquettishly.
It's only because he's younger than Lin Zhou, not very tall, and looks like a high school student that he acts this way.
Anyone else would find Lin Zhou's appearance offensive.
Lin Zhou laughed.
It seems this college student isn't stupid after all.
I know that seafood porridge is expensive to make, but it's worth the money to eat.
Actually, all delicious foods taste the same.
Even a simple sweet potato porridge is just as delicious as seafood porridge; they just have different flavors and appeal to different groups of people.
People who prefer a light flavor and appreciate the natural taste of ingredients will absolutely love sweet potato porridge. With nothing added, relying solely on superb porridge-making skills, the resulting rice and sweet potato porridge has a pure, fresh aroma and a subtle sweetness that is truly a rare treat.
If you drink a bowl of this in the dead of winter, it will warm your whole body.
However, the seafood porridge is seasoned and contains a variety of seafood. The original flavor of the rice is absorbed and blended with the seafood, just like water, and loses its own flavor. People only notice the various delicious seafood and never ignore the aroma of the rice.
In other words, the aroma of rice becomes less prominent amidst the rich, fresh scent of seafood.
"Eight-treasure porridge is delicious too!"
Lin Zhou had no intention of changing his mind; he would get tired of eating salty porridge every day.
You have to eat them alternately.
"Alright then, boss, are we still going to the mountaintop at six o'clock?"
"Yes, they've been here all week."
Lin Zhou responded gently to the guest.
The words they speak are all true and suggestive.
It's just that few people notice.
The careless Xie Hong didn't pay any attention to those words.
On the contrary, Zhang Jianjun, who was waiting for Lin Zhou to pack up his stall, understood Lin Zhou's meaning.
"Then I'll come again tomorrow, hehe, see you tomorrow, boss."
"OK."
Seeing Xie Hong's happy expression, Lin Zhou was also very pleased.
With these repeat customers, he has a stable supply of porridge sold every day.
......
After Lin Zhou sold the last bowl of porridge, Xiao Li, who had come down the mountain, also brought porridge to Lu Qian's residence.
Lu Qian also shared a bed with her best friend.
Last night, the two talked about Zhang Mingyuan until late into the night.
I overslept today, as expected.
When Xiao Li arrived, he found the villa quiet and without a sound, so he knew that Miss Lu had not yet woken up.
So they sent two bowls of seafood porridge to the kitchen and asked the aunt to keep them warm in the pot so they would still be hot when Lu Qian woke up.
The aunt also thoughtfully prepared a lot of snacks and side dishes to go with the porridge.
After all, we have guests coming, so we need to prepare more to make a good impression.
"Hey, Xiao Li, where did you buy this seafood porridge? It smells so good, it's incredibly fresh."
Xiao Li nodded in agreement. It did smell delicious. If it weren't so embarrassing to buy porridge, he would have bought himself a few bowls.
As for why he didn't buy just one bowl, it's because he has a huge appetite; one person's appetite is equivalent to that of three adult men.
Fortunately, the Lu family provides meals, all three meals a day.
