After explaining the process to Mr. Huang, I quickly turned the large red sauce down to a simmer after the water boiled.
Then he raised an eyebrow and added, "This thing will be ready soon; you'll be able to taste it in a bit."
After cooking for about ten minutes, Zhiyin stirred it continuously with a spoon to prevent it from burning.
"Do you prefer it sweeter or less sweet?"
"We should add the rock sugar in about half an hour," she asked immediately.
"Sweet, but not too sweet—!!!"
Old Huang smelled the special sweet fragrance on the tip of his nose and said without hesitation.
"good!"
Zhiyin smiled gently, and after seeing the thick syrup, she added goji berries, stirred for a few more minutes, and then it was ready to serve.
"It's ready!!"
As soon as Zhiyin finished speaking, Old Huang walked in with a smile and his usual eagerness, and together with Zhiyin, he ladled out the white fungus soup.
"Wow~ What is this? It looks crystal clear, as light as a cloud, so beautiful!!"
Butler Xiao stared wide-eyed at the bowl of white fungus soup in front of him, like a country bumpkin, unable to bring himself to eat it. He was simply too reluctant to do so.
Upon hearing this, Old Huang proudly raised his eyebrows. "Isn't it beautiful? My dear granddaughter made it!!"
His voice was full of joy, just like any ordinary parent showing off their granddaughter to others.
Zhiyin smiled gently, scooped up a spoonful of the white fungus soup and put it in her mouth. Her eyes immediately lit up. "Mmm~ slightly sweet and smooth, sweet but not cloying, a bit like eating jelly, very thick, delicious!!"
At the same time, connoisseurs couldn't help but sigh that the ancient, pure, natural white fungus was still the freshest, and because it was so fresh, it was also exceptionally rich in gelatinous substance.
Old Huang, Yao Yulin, and Ziyou nodded repeatedly, showering him with praise.
"The texture is soft, smooth, and creamy; it slides right into your mouth—it's such a unique sensation."
Seeing everyone enjoying their meal, Butler Xiao couldn't help but swallow his saliva frantically.
When he carefully took a spoonful of the white fungus soup and put it in his mouth, he was instantly incredulous.
Words simply cannot describe how I feel right now.
They could only express their surprise and joy through their actions.
In the end, he completely abandoned all pretense of decorum, complaining that using a spoon was too slow, and started frantically shoveling food into his mouth while holding the bowl.
At the same time, I finally understand the power of a true friend.
"Manager Zhiyin, our young master has truly made the right choice in inviting you! You will definitely surprise everyone!"
At this moment, Butler Xiao's eyes shone with a different kind of light, full of confidence, feeling that he would definitely amaze everyone this time.
…
Zhiyin simply smiled at his compliment.
After enjoying her white fungus soup, Zhiyin took a nap. When she woke up, Ziyou had already made a whole basket of bamboo skewers.
Seeing that he had finally found a savior after a good afternoon of work, he quickly put down his hands, which were sore from working all afternoon, and said resentfully, "Is that enough?"
"Wow, that's amazing! You're so fast!!"
Zhiyin looked at the bamboo skewers, each one distinct and flawless, almost as if they were made by machine, and couldn't help but give them a thumbs up.
"You've worked hard, take a rest."
After saying that, he quickly got to work.
As we all know, every barbecue restaurant has its own unique flavor, and the most important part is the marinade recipe and such.
She hurriedly began making the red oil for brushing on.
There is no red chili oil in this world, so Zhiyin uses firewood-cooked chili powder, five-spice chili powder, Sichuan peppercorns, sesame seeds, ginger, scallions, and spices including star anise, cinnamon, lemongrass, etc.
While making chili oil, Zhiyin called out to Yao Yulin and Grandpa Huang, "Mom, Grandpa Huang, do you need anything right now?"
"Can you help wash lotus root slices, potato slices, chives, various wild vegetables, and meats...?"
"Okay, okay!!"
Yao Yulin immediately came to help.
Without much thought, Old Huang also clumsily began to help scrape potato slices.
Once the meat was ready, Zhiyin quickly marinated it with soy sauce, cumin, onions, eggs, starch, and the like.
Finally, prepare the seasoning ingredients.
"Brother Ziyou? Have you rested enough? Can you help me make some skewers?"
After finishing everything, seeing Yao Yulin quickly cutting potato slices and such, she then taught her son to play with skewers.
"Manager Zhiyin, what are you doing?"
Is there anything I can help you with?
Ever since he had eaten the white fungus soup that morning, Butler Xiao had placed the greatest expectations on Zhiyin.
Seeing that they were doing something they couldn't understand again, they asked with anticipation and curiosity.
"barbecue!"
Zhiyin smiled gently and began a brief introduction.
After hearing this, not only Butler Xiao, but also Yao Yulin, Old Huang, and everyone else became expectant.
I feel that my life is wonderful now. Every day is full of anticipation and surprises. Every dish is different and unique. It's amazing.
"Fortunately, there is steel and carbon in this world."
After speaking softly to herself, Zhiyin quickly set up a simple barbecue grill, placing an iron mesh in the middle to prevent the barbecue from falling off.
Seeing that the charcoal had burned to the point where there was a layer of white ash on the surface and it was completely burned through and wouldn't catch fire, they quickly started using both hands to grill the meat and vegetables with great enthusiasm.
When grilling meat, the charcoal fire should be strong enough to lock in the moisture and make the meat more tender.
Flip it over when it's sizzling and making a sizzling sound.
As she moved, the meat fat dripped continuously, and almost instantly the aroma of oil filled the air.
After a while, the meat looked crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a bright red color that looked incredibly tempting.
Watching the smoky, fiery scene, Zhiyin became increasingly addicted to grilling and couldn't stop.
Four pairs of eyes were fixed on the barbecue grill, unwilling to look away for even a second.
Saliva was constantly secreting from his lips and teeth, and his eyes were filled with longing.
"Yinyin, are you done?"
Yao Yulin couldn't help but swallow hard, and said with a difficult expression.
I can't wait any longer, I really can't wait any longer!
The feeling of not being able to eat her while just looking at her is more unbearable than killing her.
"alright!!"
Zhiyin turned her head and saw four pairs of eyes like hungry wolves. She was a little frightened and reflexively took a step back.
Her lips twitched involuntarily; those looks in their eyes made her truly afraid they would devour her alive.
Finally, sprinkle with cumin and chili powder, and nod.
"My God, can there really be such delicious food in this world?"
"The lamb is roasted to a crispy, tender texture; it falls off the bone with just a gentle bite. It's so delicious."
"These wild vegetables are crisp and refreshing, completely different from when they're cooked."
"Ahhh! This beef is so tender and bouncy, the perfect balance of lean and fat is just so delicious, I'm so happy!!!"
"Yes, yes, yes, the rich, meaty aroma bursts in your mouth, and every dish absorbs the intense sauce, making it incredibly flavorful. It's so stimulating to the taste buds! I declare this to be my absolute favorite food!!"
