Lu Sinian was still a little uncomfortable at first, but after taking the first bite, his reserve disappeared.
The combination of meat and vegetables was not tiring to eat, and he wanted to eat more after finishing it. Small beads of sweat appeared on the tip of his nose.
There was pepper in the salty soup, which was a bit strong for him, but while he mumbled that it was spicy, he couldn't help but want to continue eating and couldn't stop at all.
Su Xiaoli was busy using the serving chopsticks to pick up food for Mr. Lu. The old man laughed at her for being picky, but he ignored her and ate with relish.
The bottoms of several plates were clean.
Mr. Lu and Lu Sinian patted their full stomachs with satisfaction.
Comfortable.
This is how you eat.
After eating, not only does your stomach feel satisfied, but your mood also feels good.
Grandma Su was also very happy to see that the food she cooked was approved by the two people.
Su Xiaoli brewed some new tea for the Lu grandfather and grandson. She then opened and washed the things in several large boxes and started working with Grandma Su.
Seeing that there would soon be new delicious food, even though the old foodie, Mr. Lu, had just eaten, his tea drinking action still paused slightly.
It was obvious that he was a little restless, but he didn't want to appear too excited, so he shouted and ordered his eldest grandson to go to the stove to help.
"There's no activity in your eyes, no vision at all!"
Poor Lu Sinian, who had always been served by a servant in Hong Kong Island and had never set foot in the kitchen, was driven by his grandfather to the stove where smoke was flying.
He started to make a fire with a huff.
Mr. Lu began a long wait on the stool, and he really felt that it would be better for him to light the fire himself.
Su Xiaoli and Grandma are old partners. No matter how outrageous Su Xiaoli's ideas are, Grandma Su has the ability to quickly understand the most subtle uses of these ingredients.
But……
That was limited to the ingredients that Grandma Su had seen or used, so she knew them by heart, but the butter and milk powder in front of her...
Grandma Su has never seen it!
Su Xiaoli had seen it before, but she was a "good at cooking" person, who could only eat but not cook. It was useless! In the northern part of Hebei Province, near the Mongolian area, people had the habit of using butter.
But in the area near the Taiwu Mountain area, our ancestors have used rapeseed oil and peanut oil for generations. During difficult times, they even used cottonseed oil, but they have never used butter.
No matter how quick Grandma Su was at understanding, she still found it difficult to master the timing and proportions of the butter and other ingredients. Seeing that she couldn't make this snack, which was extremely important to her granddaughter, she was a little dumbfounded.
The people in front of the stove fell silent.
Mr. Lu was waiting outside anxiously, pretending to walk casually to the pot.
Several people were staring at the pot in a daze.
Why aren't you moving at all?
Mr. Lu looked into the pot and smelled burnt butter, black marshmallows, and clumping milk powder...
"Well, what are you trying to do? Caramel pudding?" Mr. Lu spoke.
Su Xiaoli blushed. She wanted to treat the old man to a new snack, but ended up shooting herself in the foot. She said embarrassedly that she originally wanted to make a snack called "nougat", but she only had a general idea, and she couldn't figure out how to make it...
She doesn't understand.
Mr. Lu, this old foodie, knows! Even though he never cooks, he eats a lot!
Mr. Lu touched his chin.
He glanced at the fire in the kitchen and rolled his eyes at his eldest grandson.
"You can't even make a fire! Get out of here!" Old Master Lu said coldly and kicked Lu Sinian casually in the butt.
Lu Sinian stood up aggrievedly, and Old Man Lu sat on the stool and started to make a fire himself.
Anyone who sees this scene will be shocked.
Su Xiaoli and Grandma Su were also shocked.
A chairman with a net worth of hundreds of millions and assets spread across Asia actually has to cook in a small, shabby kitchen!
"The problem lies in the fire. Young people are hot-tempered and they light fire vigorously. You almost burned the stove down! Are the butter, marshmallows, and milk powder things that can be touched by a big fire?!"
Mr. Lu is an expert at making fire since he was a child.
He controlled the temperature himself, and the fire in the stove gradually turned from fierce to gentle.
Grandma Su thought that Mr. Lu was just talking, but she didn't expect that he could really make a fire! !
Su Xiaoli and Lu Sinian widened their eyes, their eyes full of shock.
Really...done?
"Try again this time."
Mr. Lu spoke, and Grandma Su was stunned for a few seconds before she reacted. She also realized something.
This time she only cut a small piece and put it into the pan for experiment. The butter slowly melted at the bottom of the pan. When the oil became fragrant, she smelled it, poured in the marshmallows and slowly stir-fried them. When the marshmallows were melted, she poured in the milk powder...
The fire in the kitchen was kept at a slightly hot temperature. With Grandpa Lu's help, Grandma Su cooked much more smoothly this time.
After the milk powder dissolved, she added raisins, walnuts and peanuts and mixed well.
After a while, the aroma of milk mixed with nuts began to float in the yard, and the prototype of "nougat" came into being.
Su Xiaoli admired silently.
Mr. Lu’s cooking is just right, and grandma’s craftsmanship is indeed a real “golden finger”.
The nougat was quickly taken out of the pot and put into the mold, but unfortunately according to Su Xiaoli's suggestion, it had to wait until it cooled down and then be wrapped in glutinous rice paper.
I waited until it was getting dark.
Several people sat under the osmanthus tree, and Su Xiaoli brought out a plate of cut nougat.
Taking Grandma Su and Grandpa Lu’s teeth into consideration, the nougat was not made too hard.
Mr. Lu was very greedy.
This was the first time in decades that he had picked up a fire stick and used his skills to make something good! He pretended to be calm and picked up a small piece, tore off a layer of glutinous rice paper, put a small piece in his mouth, and slowly chewed it.
The whole process was full of ritual, as if one was leisurely eating dessert in a top-notch Western restaurant.
The moment he put the nougat into his mouth, the aroma of milk burst out between his lips and teeth. When he chewed it carefully, the nutty aroma of peanuts and walnuts followed closely. He accidentally bit into half a raisin, and the sweet and sour taste neutralized the aroma...
After eating one, the fragrance still lingers between your lips and teeth.
Sweet but not greasy, with a lingering fragrance.
Mr. Lu's eyes lit up: "Wow! That's the taste!!"
A hint of excitement flashed in Su Xiaoli's beautiful and clear eyes.
This "moat" is considered a success as it has been recognized by gourmet foodies.
Before leaving, Grandma Su packed a bag of nougat for Grandpa Lu. Su Xiaoli also added that he must not finish eating it before she went to the city to visit him in a few days.
Mr. Lu was quite happy that he was suddenly being taken care of.
He was honest and straightforward, and asked Grandma Su for some bean curd, cornmeal, etc., saying that he would go home and cook it himself.
What did you say?
A combination of salty, sweet, coarse and fine flavors can double happiness? He himself has become a nutrition expert.
Lu Sinian was speechless.
No matter how the whole family advised you, you didn't listen. You were happy with just one word from the little girl? Why are you still happy? As soon as the grandfather and grandson of the Lu family left, Gu Feihan returned home.
As soon as he entered the house, he immediately realized something was wrong. There was a "big guy" in the middle room. (End of this chapter)
