Chapter 99 The Circus Has Your Show Tonight

Pruning bougainvillea doesn’t take much time, so Chen Jingle focuses more on cooking.

The dinner prepared was lion's head stewed with cordyceps flowers.

This is also a Huaiyang dish that tests one's cooking skills and is also a state banquet dish.

The key point is to highlight the aroma of the meat and the freshness of the soup. When eating, you can clearly feel the smoothness, tenderness and elasticity of the meat, as well as the freshness of the water chestnut.

To make lion's head, fresh water chestnuts, also known as water caltrops, are of course indispensable.

Fortunately, it can be bought in supermarkets.

Don’t be fooled by the plain appearance of Braised Lion’s Head Meatballs, as it is just a meatball. In fact, it is a dish with quite complicated preparation procedures. It is not easy for most people to make it at home and it is basically only available in restaurants or hotels outside.

This is a very typical local banquet dish, a hard dish.

Just like the sauerkraut pork with pickled cabbage made in the Lingnan region, people who don’t know much about it would think, hey, isn’t this just stewed pork belly slices?

Actually not.

The process is very complicated. The steps for braised pork are complicated, and the same is true for lion head. If you make a mistake in one step, the taste will be very different.

For example, for soup, if conditions permit, you can use the original soup from stewing meat and cover it with some cabbage. If conditions permit, you can add the clear chicken soup that has been boiled, and then stew it with cordyceps flowers.

If you change the latter two, the taste will be on another level.

In short, do whatever conditions allow.

Chen Jingle makes a version of chicken soup with cordyceps flowers, which definitely tastes good.

The chicken soup he made was not made with a whole chicken or half a chicken, but a piece of chicken breast chopped into minced meat and then used to make the soup.

This is a relatively high-end and quick way to make soup.

The chicken puree can be served later and used to feed the tiger cubs.

Even though it’s just a portion for two people, there are more than two lion heads, so you have to enjoy it to your heart’s content.

"Since you've already done it, make more. It's not like you can't afford it."

Chen Jingle is a carnivore and loves to eat meat.

This dish is rather time-consuming and laborious to prepare, but fortunately he is familiar with all the steps and does not find it difficult to make.

Beginners may have many problems, such as not being able to grasp the ratio of meat to water chestnuts, and not being able to grasp the right heat, so they need to spend a lot of time practicing repeatedly.

Most people can achieve a decent level of performance after practicing for a week, and it should be no problem for them to handle family gatherings.

Chen Jingle sets high standards for himself and hopes to make lion's head dishes with the ultimate taste. The standard is that the meat is stewed in the pot until it is soft, but not falling apart. When you put it in your mouth and take a sip, you will feel the meat melt in your mouth, with the refreshing taste and fragrance of water chestnuts in the middle.

Secondly, as agreed at noon, I had to prepare a dessert for Chen Qiyun, and I couldn’t just fool around with it.

"Then you have to prepare well."

Although Chen Qiyun sometimes looks like a pig, she is actually very picky about food. If the food doesn’t taste good, she will definitely be dissatisfied.

So Chen Jingle decided to make a white fungus, red dates and pear soup.

This is a dessert that is very suitable for the elderly and children during the change of seasons.

Although it is still very hot in Lingnan now, it is autumn after all and the season has changed. It is obviously different from the humidity and heat in summer and is much drier.

At this time, having a bowl of pear soup to moisten the lungs is a good choice.

Tremella, red dates and lily, I bought a lot of them for making sugar water before, and I bought them at the pharmacy. The ones sold in the market outside are too outrageous, not the price is outrageous, but the quality, and sulfur smoked wolfberry is a common operation.

Some even directly sell you fake goods, which are not good in the eyes of ordinary people and they can be deceived in minutes.

These days the profits from fake medicinal materials are even more exaggerated than those from transporting ice. For example, many unscrupulous businessmen on the Internet like to use cassava to impersonate angelica dahurica.

I can only say that he is a pure beast.

The focus is Sydney.

Chen Jingle didn’t find the type of pear he wanted in the supermarket, so he finally found it at the fruit wholesale market.

The quality of pears is directly related to the quality of this dessert. Although some pears look like snow pears, they actually taste very poor, with more residue and less water and are not sweet.

Chen Jingle didn’t understand before and was fooled several times, so he was full of resentment.

The pears he bought this time were big and sweet, and he bought a lot. In addition to making some for desserts, the rest can be used as after-meal fruit.

Pears are not apples, so you don't have to worry about them rotting in the refrigerator.

……

Chen Qiyun was thinking about the delicious food, so she ran to Chen Jingle's house as soon as the get out of class was over.

"What's for dinner tonight?"

I just got back, out of breath, and couldn't help asking.

Chen Jingle has already prepared and served them on the table: "Lion's head stewed with cordyceps flowers, and pear soup stewed with white fungus and red dates."

Chen Qiyun was shocked: "How dare you eat a lion? Aren't you afraid of being caught?!"

"..." Chen Jingle rolled his eyes at her: "Claypot rice doesn't really eat children, and how can the lion's head be a real lion? It's a meatball, just a nice name."

"Oh oh." Chen Qiyun suddenly realized and looked into the pot. She was surprised: "This doesn't seem to have anything to do with the lion's head!"

“Eat it if you like it!”

"Eat, of course!" Chen Qiyun hurriedly went to wash her hands, "Can I drink the sugar water first?"

Chen Jingle decisively refused: "No, let's eat first! If you drink the sugar water first, the taste of the food will change in your mouth."

"Oh~~"

Chen Qiyun had no choice but to eat first reluctantly.

You know what, this lion head meatball tastes really good. Although it is a meatball, it is much better than the beef balls, tendon balls, and beef balls sold outside.

And this soup is so delicious!
She doesn't like drinking soup at home. She is only willing to drink corn ribs and lotus root ribs soup. But she feels this lion head soup is very good, very good.

Delicious!

After eating two lion heads, she focused on drinking the soup. Chen Jingle had to remind her: "Don't drink too much, I'm afraid you won't be able to drink the sugar water later."

Yes~ There is also sugar water, I almost forgot!
Seeing that her stomach was almost full, Chen Qiyun hurried to get some sugar syrup. Although the taste of the stewed pear was a bit strange, she liked the taste of the white fungus, and the sugar syrup was sweet.

really not bad.

One couldn't help it and gulped down two big bowls.

Not surprisingly, I ate too much again.

She frowned a little when she thought about having to eat home-cooked meals again when she got home.

"Then let's eat later!"

She made her decision immediately.

Finish your homework here with Chen Jingle first, then go back and have a bite to eat. Then you can watch TV, take a shower, and then read a book.

This arrangement is perfect!
Chen Jingle was very satisfied when he saw her taking out the homework. It seemed that good study habits had been formed.

The key is to stick with it.

……

at the same time.

Zhong Qing, who had just come out of the library, went to the cafeteria to eat first, and then brought some food to several roommates.

There are no classes in the afternoon, so they all stay in the dormitory and don’t want to go out.

By the time of senior year, except for those preparing for postgraduate entrance exams and interns, everyone tries not to leave the dormitory unless necessary.

Zhong Qing, who goes to the library every day, has become everyone's support.

A serving of braised chicken, a serving of river snail noodles, a serving of cross-bridge rice noodles, two cups of milk tea and a cup of lemonade.

Zhong Qing felt that she really owed them.

"I am back."

I opened the door of the dormitory, felt the coolness of the air conditioner, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Yuting rushed over first and helped to get the things: "Qingqing, Mom, I love you!"

"Stop it!"

"Wow, Qingqing, you are finally back."

Ye Zixuan and Yang Qiuyun also quickly climbed out of bed and prepared to eat dinner.

"Let me make it clear first, you are not allowed to eat snail noodles in the dormitory!" Zhong Qing frowned.

“I agree!” “I agree!”

"protest!"

"The protest is ineffective!"

So Li Yuting was driven to the living balcony, but the door was open so it wasn't too hot.

After finishing their meal and drinking some milk tea, everyone felt like they were finally alive again.

Li Yuting was sipping her milk tea when she suddenly came over: "Hey, Qingqing!"

"Oh?" Zhong Qing was confused.

"How was your conversation with your blind date?"

"A blind date?"

Zhong Qing didn't react at once, and it took her two seconds for her brain to realize, Chen Jingle?

Mu Ran said, "It's good. We have successfully established a teacher-student relationship."

Yes, that's right.

She is a student.

At first, it was Chen Jingle who asked her about various issues in the political science field, but gradually, she was the one who asked others for advice.

Chen Jingle learns really fast!
Zhong Qing even doubted whether he had swallowed the entire book and was able to digest it, otherwise how could he have finished reading the entire ideological and political education and even many extracurricular reading books so quickly, even covering a lot of content from the graduate level.

So now, she has started asking others questions.

"what?"

Li Yuting was stunned: "No, what's wrong with you? She's on a blind date with you, what's the teacher-student relationship? Or is this some special play?"

"Screw you."

Zhong Qing rolled her eyes: "We just don't talk much about daily life, but more about professional knowledge. Between men and postgraduate entrance exams, I have to succeed in one, right?"

Li Yuting's eyes widened: "Now it seems that the chances of passing the postgraduate entrance examination are higher."

"Ah."

"Poor Qingqing."

Li Yuting shook her head first, then said in great sorrow: "I gave you the chance but you didn't use it!"

Zhong Qing just wanted to roll her eyes: "If you can do it, go ahead!"

"In my opinion, you should just go ahead and A." Yang Qiuyun urged.

Zhong Qing curled her lips: "I see you are looking forward to having my performance in the circus tonight."

"How will you know if you don't try?"

"What if I really become a clown?"

"At least it can make everyone happy."

"Ah~~ I don't want to!"
