Lin Zhou went to the hospital to see Zhang Jianjun in the afternoon. He was relieved to see that Zhang Jianjun was in good spirits and even had the energy to scold Zhang Mingyuan.
Afterwards, I leisurely went shopping at the mall, bought some new autumn clothes, watched a movie, had hot pot, and then went home.
He thoroughly enjoyed this leisurely life where he didn't have to worry about money.
Even after waking up the next day, I was still marveling at how this was life.
In his past life, his life was at most about survival.
Seeing that it was only a little past seven o'clock, Lin Zhou quickly washed up and made himself a simple breakfast.
Heat the delicious chicken soup to a boil, crack an egg into a bowl and stir well, then pour in the boiling hot egg to instantly create a bowl of egg drop soup.
Simply add a little sesame oil, salt, and pepper for seasoning, and sprinkle with cilantro and chopped green onions, and it's done.
The golden frangipani flowers, paired with the bright green cilantro and scallions, are visually appealing.
Steam four more buns, and breakfast will be ready.
Baozi Zhou froze a lot of baozi when he was making them, so it's convenient to eat them now.
After finishing breakfast, Lin Zhou didn't even bother to clean up the dishes before getting ready to head to the market.
He enjoys cooking, but he doesn't like cleaning up.
Cooking was as interesting to him as conducting an experiment, but washing dishes was just a chore.
The thought that he wouldn't have to clean up anymore now that he had a nanny made Lin Zhou very happy.
Money really can solve a lot of problems.
When I arrived at the market, I recognized him from all the fruit shops there.
They've been coming to buy goods for two consecutive days, both big deals. When they saw Lin Zhou coming from afar, they warmly greeted him.
"Boss Lin is here! Have you had breakfast yet? My fruit is all fresh, would you like to try one?"
As the fruit shop owner spoke, he picked up an orange and handed it to Lin Zhou, even peeling it for him with great care.
Lin Zhou did not refuse.
The freshness and sweetness of the fruit will affect the final taste of the candied hawthorn.
Lin Zhou always tastes the fruit he buys.
Even when making candied hawthorn with green peppers, he tasted the green peppers raw before selecting them.
"These oranges are great, juicy and sweet. Give me a whole box."
"Do you have hawthorns? I'll take two boxes."
"Cherry tomatoes, red, green, yellow, purple, give me some of them."
"And two pineapples, please. No pineapple though."
"......"
After buying a bunch of fruit, the fruit shop owner beamed with joy as he tallied the money.
She kept recommending new fruits to Lin Zhou.
"Boss Lin, take a look at today's ginseng fruit. It arrived in the early hours of the morning and hasn't been opened yet. It's still very fresh."
"And there are lychees and bayberries, all of which are good things."
"Durian and dragon fruit are also selling well."
"......"
After buying the fruit, Lin Zhou went to buy vegetables.
Then he saw the crisp and tender bitter melon.
An idea suddenly popped into my head.
Can bitter melon be used to make candied hawthorn?
What does it taste like?
Lin Zhou was very curious, so he bought ten bitter melons.
As he continued browsing, he spotted some newly harvested young ginger.
!!
Buy it!
When Lin Zhou returned with his haul, Sun Deye and the aunties were already at work.
After yesterday's tidying up, the weeds in the villa's yard have been mostly cleared.
As soon as Sun Deye arrived and saw the bowls and chopsticks on the dining table, he knew that Lin Zhou had already eaten breakfast.
Then I did the final cleanup of the weeds in the yard.
Once you've cleaned it up, you can plant flowers.
"Mr. Lin, you're back. Are these ingredients prepared the same way as yesterday?"
"Yes, bitter melon needs to be blanched separately."
Lin Zhou nodded, then went back to his room to take a shower.
Even in the middle of summer, you'll be sweating after a lot of work, even early in the morning.
When he came out after taking a shower, Sun Deye was already washing fruit with the aunties.
Lin Zhou then went to the kitchen to make the filling.
The red beans and mung beans were soaked overnight. Now that they are cooked, they can be stir-fried into red bean paste and mung bean paste.
Taro paste, sweet potato paste, and chestnut paste need to be steamed before stir-frying.
The process of preparing food is therapeutic. Different ingredients, from their initial raw state, are transformed into completely different cooked states, and their flavors also change.
Different cooking methods can even result in different flavors.
When combined, they create a new flavor.
Every novel combination brings Lin Zhou a new surprise.
For example, freshly baked bitter melon candied hawthorn.
Lin Zhou made four skewers in one go.
The crisp and tender bitter melon is cut into chunks, boiled in water, cooled, and then coated with syrup.
Its appearance immediately underwent a dramatic transformation.
In terms of color, the bitter melon coated with sugar syrup has a brighter, more vibrant green color that is unsettling.
Sun Deye and the others looked at the bitter melon that Lin Zhou handed them, remained silent for a moment, and then took it without saying anything.
Lin Zhou was very confident in his skills, and took a bite of the bitter melon candied hawthorn.
As a result, the moment I bit into the bitter melon, I was still overwhelmed by the sudden bitterness.
Even after blanching or boiling, bitter melon still retains its bitterness.
For those who can't tolerate bitterness, this taste is simply unbearable.
But once you taste the outer sugar coating, the flavor immediately improves.
Knowing that bitter melon is bitter, he specially coated it with a thick layer of sugar syrup. The hardened sugar coating is crunchy and neutralizes the bitterness of the melon very well.
Hmm... It's not bad, but it's not particularly delicious either.
People who like bitter melon might enjoy this.
Sun Deye quickly finished chewing the bitter melon candied hawthorn and immediately lowered his head to work, avoiding eye contact with Lin Zhou, for fear of being stuffed with another strange candied hawthorn.
