Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 277 Lin Yuan is really capable

Around ten o'clock the next morning, Lin Yuan was still preparing food in the kitchen.

He skillfully cut open each sea urchin full of sharp spines, took out the sea urchin roe inside, and put it into a small bowl.

After processing the sea urchins, Lin Yuan beat three eggs into another bowl, added an equal amount of water, and steamed them in a steamer until they were half cooked. When the eggs were slightly solidified, he took the bowl containing the eggs out of the steamer.

"Okay, when the guests arrive, I'll put sea urchin roe on the eggs and steam them for five minutes. Then this sea urchin steamed egg is ready to eat. At this temperature, the freshness of the sea urchin is preserved to the greatest extent. They will definitely like it."

Lin Yuan was obviously very satisfied with his craftsmanship.

After his parents passed away, he had become a good cook over the years. Although he was not as good as a hotel chef, he could still make a few home-cooked dishes.

His mother is from Guangdong Province. The taste memories of his childhood have made Lin Yuan's taste tend towards Cantonese cuisine. The dishes he made today are all seafood-based.

On a small stove nearby, a large jar was emitting steam.

Since last night, Lin Yuan has been simmering over low heat for more than five hours. The aroma from the jar continues to overflow and fills the entire kitchen.

This jar contains tonight's main dish, which is also soup: Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.

According to legend, monks who abstain from meat could not resist climbing over the wall to steal a bite of this dish after smelling it, hence the name.

Although this dish is not Cantonese cuisine but a signature dish of Fujian cuisine, what is the difference between Fujian and Guangdong, as they are one family?
Besides, this dish can be considered a soup... right? Anyway, Lin Yuan really likes it.

It’s really troublesome to make this dish.

There are more than ten main ingredients alone, the most eye-catching ones include sea cucumber, shark fin, scallop, young hen, and pig's trotter tendon.

The ingredients are even more diverse: ginger slices, green onion segments, cinnamon, old wine, winter bamboo shoots, fish lips... more than twenty kinds.

After all the raw materials are prepared, they need to be cooked using various methods such as frying, stir-frying, boiling and deep-frying. Then they are placed in the jar layer by layer in order to create the most authentic taste.

Lin Yuan started working on this dish last night and it was not ready until noon.

After boiling the soup over high heat, turn to low heat and simmer for five hours.

In fact, Lin Yuan was willing to make such a troublesome dish not entirely for today's guests, but more for Liu Yufei.

She was not completely unaware of her romantic luck in New York, but she pretended to know nothing.

This made Lin Yuan feel somewhat guilty.

He couldn't be with Liu Yufei all year round, so when they met rarely, he should express his love more.

Lin Yuan was preparing lunch in the kitchen, while Liu Yufei was cleaning up last night's "battlefield" on the second floor.

Although this kind of ordinary and warm life like that of a young couple was short, it made Lin Yuan feel at peace in his heart.

At this time, the bell at the door rang. Lin Yuan wiped his hands on the apron in front of him, walked to the door and opened it.

I saw Teacher Cui Xinqin standing at the door with three students.

Lin Yuan specifically instructed yesterday that no gifts were allowed, otherwise you would not be allowed to enter.

So they just carried some fruit in their hands.

"Welcome Teacher Cui and the students to our humble home. Please come in." Liu Yufei came jogging from behind and welcomed everyone into the house.

"If a mansion like yours is considered a humble abode, then what is my home? A doghouse?" Teacher Cui complained.

"It's really huge, about 400 to 500 square meters, right? And there's such a big yard and garage," Luo Jing exclaimed in amazement. "This garden is so beautiful and well-maintained. You can tell the owner has great taste," Zhu Yawen also praised.

"Okay, you will also be big stars in the future, and you will be able to afford a house like this in the future." Liu Yufei said with a smile.

Everyone walked into the living room and Liu Yufei brought them slippers.

Lin Yuan noticed that Huang Bo, who was following behind the crowd, had not said a word since he entered the door and behaved extremely reservedly.

This is not surprising. To him, Teacher Cui is a person who is simply out of his reach, and the other two classmates are also at the higher end of the contempt chain.

He was not familiar with the three of them, so he was naturally more frightened.

In fact, when Teacher Cui informed him yesterday afternoon that Lin Yuan specifically asked him to come to his home as a guest, Huang Bo could hardly believe his ears.

The gap in status between the two was as vast as heaven and earth. He didn't know what he had done to deserve Lin Yuan's attention, but he couldn't help but feel a strong sense of gratitude for Lin Yuan's recognition.

Seeing Huang Bo's reserved look, Lin Yuan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be nervous, relax a little."

Everyone sat down in the living room. Liu Yufei brought out the fruit that had been prepared long ago and started chatting.

Lin Yuan clapped his hands and said, "Everyone is here. You guys sit down and chat first. I'll go to the kitchen and prepare the dishes as soon as possible. We'll try to serve dinner early so you can taste my cooking."

"It's you, Xiaolin, who's cooking yourself? I thought it was Xixi who was cooking." Teacher Cui said with a smile.

"If we let her cook, everyone will go hungry at noon." Lin Yuan also replied with a smile.

"Xixi is so lucky. Her boyfriend is so perfect inside and out. He is so enviable," said Teacher Cui.

Hearing this, Liu Yufei was also a little embarrassed and annoyed.

She hurriedly pushed Lin Yuan towards the kitchen: "Go quickly, I will help you entertain them."

Lin Yuan smiled and nodded, then walked back into the kitchen and continued to work.

Today I plan to make five dishes and one soup. In addition to sea urchin steamed egg and Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, there are two main dishes and two side dishes.

Lin Yuan fished out dried abalone from a small pot nearby, having been simmering for over three hours. The tender, rich, and umami-rich abalone, simmered in a broth mixed with chicken, ham, and scallops, was a mouth-watering sight.

Use a knife to carefully make beautiful cuts on the abalone to ensure that it can absorb more flavor.

The broth used to cook abalone is thickened into a thick soup after adding sugar, salt, soy sauce, cooking wine and other seasonings.

When the prepared soup was poured into the plate containing abalone, an irresistible aroma immediately filled the entire kitchen.

"Do you need help?"

Hearing the sound, Lin Yuan subconsciously turned around.

"Wow, it smells so good. It seems you are really good at cooking."

At some point, Liu Yufei arrived at the kitchen door. She walked in quickly and closed the glass door.

"There's a lot of smoke here, please stand aside. It will stick to your sweater and smell very unpleasant, and it will be difficult to clean." Lin Yuan pulled her aside.

"Ah? What is this? It looks so strange?" Liu Yufei saw two strange creatures in the pool.

She asked as she walked closer curiously.
