Chapter 129: Replenishing Energy Soup
The Huo family's house is indeed well decorated. A small gravel road winds forward, the flower beds in the yard are fragrant, and you can hear the sound of gurgling water in places you can't see. The whole environment makes people feel very relaxed and comfortable.
Judging from the scenery, I guess Mrs. Huo is a calm and peaceful person who knows how to live.
Huo Chuan led the way in front. The yard was very large, and they met several employees along the way who nodded to them.
Yun Mo's expression was indifferent. No matter how many good things she had, they were nothing but clouds in her eyes. Moreover, this residence itself could not be compared with the Yun family's ancestral home.
Mo Mo was a little uneasy at first; this area itself gave people a sense of oppression based on status. But when he saw Yun Mo walking slowly ahead with her hands in her pockets, his heart slowly calmed down.
Huo Chuan led the way in front for a long time, but finally couldn't hold it in anymore and stopped to wait for them.
Turning around, he saw Lin Fancheng carrying a large bag, which was bulging with what looked like a ton of stuff. He couldn't help but twitch his eyes, "Why did you bring anything with you?"
Liu Yue put his arm around his shoulder without hesitation, and said to him in a friendly manner, "No matter how rich Master Huo is, it's not good for us to come here empty-handed as a guest..."
Huo Chuan pulled his hand away in disgust, but Lin Fancheng took it again and pushed him aside with all his strength.
"Oh, Master Huo, I haven't seen you for a few days. You've lost weight. Are you getting too emaciated because of me?"
"Go away," Huo Chuan cursed, and a group of people went to the living room noisily.
The maid stood under the tree, rubbed her eyes, and opened her mouth wide. Is this still her arrogant and domineering third young master?
"Come on, don't be polite."
Huo Chuan finally showed some diligence and quickly filled the long and wide dining table with various drinks and snacks.
They were all young people, and even if there were a few who had serious thoughts, they soon started to quarrel without any grudges.
Yun Mo walked around the room. The living room was really big. Even with more than 20 people in it, it didn't seem crowded at all.
"Now that you're here, don't leave. Try the cooking skills of my chef. My dad spent a lot of money to hire him. He's no worse than the one at Fez Restaurant."
Huo Chuan leaned against the sofa in a very ungraceful manner, operating the computer device with one hand while talking.
"Cook? Oh, I was just wondering if I could use your kitchen."
Yunmo had already walked back slowly, picking up her cloth bag.
"What?" Huo Chuan stepped back subconsciously, "Don't tell me you want to cook for yourself?"
"Put your hands out!" Yun Mo said.
"What for?" Huo Chuan shuddered, but still stretched his hand out.
Yun Mo's white fingertips rested on his wrist...
"Wow!"
"oh!"
"What's this for..."
"I want one too, I want one too!"
Some boys began to look at him with envy and to cheer him on.
Huo Chuan's face flushed red, and he picked up a book and slapped them one by one, "Pa Pa Pa," "I want your balls!"
"Go away, what are you doing?"
Yun Mo curled her lips. No matter what Huo Chuan said, it was all because of her that he suffered, and it was only right and proper that he should compensate her.
"You've damaged your vitality. I have a qi-boosting soup at home that can replenish your energy."
"cut……"
As soon as Yun Mo finished speaking, everyone booed, thinking that they had caught some kind of affair, but it turned out to be a socialist brotherhood. There was no fun to watch.
However, face still needs to be given to Yun Mo. Even if the soup she made was a soul-chasing and life-threatening soup, one still has to show her support.
"Yunmo, what is this Qi-replenishing soup?"
Zheng Meng is one of the few girls in the club. She is a bit reckless but very smart. She rummages through Yun Mo's cloth bag and takes out materials bit by bit.
"It's a dish of chicken stewed with Codonopsis pilosula. It replenishes vital energy and strengthens the spleen and stomach. It's suitable for all symptoms of qi and blood deficiency, such as deficiency of the five internal organs, spontaneous sweating due to physical weakness, chronic diarrhea, and edema due to qi deficiency."
As soon as Yun Mo finished speaking, everyone applauded. Lin Fancheng made exaggerated expressions and said, "That's amazing! Cheers!"
The young men were very excited. They knew that Yunmo knew medicine, but despite their joking, few of them really believed that she could make soup.
In their time, the processing of raw materials is basically done by robots.
There are fixed recipes and procedures for how it should be processed and what flavor it should taste like, but the taste is just average. You can't expect mass-produced products to have an amazing taste, right?
The profession of chef has long been in decline. There are very few restaurants as people-oriented as Fez Restaurant. Artificial ingredients and processing have become more of a gimmick.
Yunmo is going to make food for everyone. No matter what the result is, this must be encouraged.
"Wait a minute," Yun Mo saw that they were eager to try, and thinking of the experience with the medicinal duck, she gave a warning, "Well, I don't have many ingredients..."
She was actually giving a kind reminder, but Lin Fancheng and the others didn't take it to heart at all. They even laughed after hearing it, "Who would dare to snatch food from a sick patient?"
"That's right, we have no objection to giving it all to Master Huo!"
Liu Yueban also secretly winked at Mo Mo and the others, pinching his throat and sticking out his tongue, as if he was showing sympathy for Huo Chuan.
Cooking medicinal food? They had heard of this term at the Feiz Restaurant, where it was a secret.
Ordinary people want to imitate it? It's still very difficult. Tsk tsk tsk, it's rare that Commander Yun has a conscience, but will Master Huo get an upset stomach?
Yun Mo had already seen their expressions, but she was not in a hurry and processed the materials slowly and methodically.
As a girl, Zheng Meng followed to the kitchen and watched for a long time. Lin Fancheng also rolled up his sleeves to watch the fun.
Yun Mo ordered without hesitation, "Cut the chicken breast into slices 5 cm long, 1.6 cm wide, and 0.16 cm thick."
"Wash the ginseng and cut it diagonally into 0.66cm thick slices. Slice the winter bamboo shoots and cucumber..."
Zheng Meng: ...
Lin Fancheng: ...
The three of them were busy in the kitchen. This chicken slices stewed with Codonopsis pilosula required the right amount of heat.
Yunmo added salt to the chicken slices, added egg whites and mixed well, then heated it in a wok of lard until it was 50% hot before taking it out...
Lin Fancheng watched from the side, his mouth opening wider and wider. It seemed that the appearance and taste were pretty good.
The others played cards in the living room for a while, but some of them couldn't sit still anymore. Huo Chuan suggested, "There's a game room upstairs. Do you want to go? The latest shooting game is pretty good."
"Come on, come on, this is private equipment, you must experience it," Liu Yueban was the first to stand up and shouted at the few people who were still playing cards in the corner.
"Is there anyone who is shooting a pistol? The one who is shooting a pistol has gone upstairs..."
Everyone: ...
The afternoon passed quickly, and when it began to get dark, some people had already started touching their stomachs.
I drank a lot of drinks and snacks, but when it was time for dinner, I always wanted to eat.
Out of support for Yunmo, Huo Chuan specifically told the maid to serve dinner later.
At this time, someone was already walking down from upstairs, wanting to see the progress in the kitchen.
