Chapter 402 - Perfect Dinner Rhythm

As soon as a spoonful of cake entered his mouth, the refreshing and sweet aroma of cantaloupe instantly filled his mouth. The texture was light and delicate, as soft as a cloud. The perfect taste and texture made the old man's eyes squint into slits.

Chew gently, and the melt-in-your-mouth cream disappears in an instant, leaving only the refreshing and chewy green apple jelly in your mouth. The chewiness of the jelly contrasts sharply with the delicate and soft mousse, and the sour green apple flavor and the sweetness of the cantaloupe are perfectly blended.

It brings a rich fruity aroma that will make you indulge in it. The mousse has a smooth texture and melts in your mouth, which complements the soft texture of the cake and makes the taste of the whole cake more refreshing and pleasant.

It can be seen that the old man likes the taste very much, but the nurse Aunt Cai is worried. The cake is a calorie bomb. If he eats one of these, all the exercise he has just done will be in vain.

Zhuo Qianqian obviously saw Aunt Cai's worry and quickly explained, "Don't worry about the calories. This has almost no sugar in it. It's made with the natural sweetness of cantaloupe and green apples, so it's not high in calories."

Aunt Cai finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, that's so thoughtful. Now I don't have to worry anymore."

Zhuo Qianqian smiled and said, "It's okay to eat the whole piece. Just watch it first. I'll go get Grandma Wu some soup."

Wang Fan was just finishing up the soup at this time.

The winter melon soup in the pot was still bubbling, and the color was indeed milky white.

The delicious taste of the soup had already spread. Wang Fan put the dried shrimp into the pot, and then put in two slices of tofu slices, which are slices of bean curd sheets.

After adding dried shrimp and bean curd slices, the already delicious smell has a hint of shrimp and bean fragrance, making the overall taste more varied and mellow.

Hearing footsteps outside the door, Wang Fan put the wolfberries into the pot, then added a little salt and white pepper, and no other seasonings.

When Zhuo Qianqian appeared in the kitchen, she sprinkled a handful of chopped green onions into the pot, then turned off the heat, stirred it, and poured two spoonfuls into the soup bowl.

Zhuo Qianqian couldn't help but take a deep breath. The rich and delicious aroma made her stomach growl uncontrollably. A small piece of cake could not fill her stomach.

Wang Fan smiled and said, "Send it over. We'll cook the last dish and then we can have dinner."

"okay."

When I appeared in the old man's room again, the whole cake had been eaten up by him, even the last bit of cream on the plate was eaten up.

Aunt Cai sighed, "Aunt Wu hasn't eaten like this for a long time. Thank you so much today."

Zhuo Qianqian quickly shook her head: "It's what we should do. As long as she is happy with the food, we, the children who were raised by her sweet melons, will be happy too."

"This is winter melon and egg soup. It can boost your body's immunity, nourish your liver, improve your brain, and act as a diuretic and reduce swelling. Drinking the soup first can also increase Grandma Wu's sense of fullness and help her control her food intake."

Aunt Cai nodded repeatedly and kept saying "that's thoughtful", obviously she was very satisfied with Wang Fan's arrangement.

Zhuo Qianqian placed the soup bowl in front of the old man and opened the lid. The rich and fresh aroma was released, which made the old man's appetite, which had just been whetted by the cake, suddenly feel hungry and couldn't wait to scoop up the soup.

Zhuo Qianqian quickly grabbed the old woman's hand and whispered, "Grandma Wu, please wait a minute. The soup is still a little hot. How about I feed you?"

Grandma Wu nodded with a smile to indicate that it was okay, and Zhuo Qianqian turned to look at Aunt Cai beside her.

Aunt Cai also nodded, and Zhuo Qianqian happily picked up the spoon.

Scooping a spoonful from the soup bowl, two thin slices of winter melon are as warm as cooked translucent jade. A small piece of golden egg is placed together with the winter melon slices, which looks quite harmonious.

Zhuo Qianqian blew on it in small breaths until the temperature dropped a little before handing it to the old man's mouth.

"Thank you, girl."

Grandma Wu spoke a word that instantly made Zhuo Qianqian feel so happy that she could fly. If she told her father about this, he would definitely jump for joy. A mouthful of the delicious soup completely dispelled the lingering sweetness in her mouth, and the delicious aroma alternately occupied the high ground of her taste buds.

Winter melon itself has a light sweetness, but this sweetness is different from that of Hami melon. The sweetness is not very obvious but cannot be ignored.

The light salty taste is not too noticeable, and the whole soup is full of freshness.

Grandma Wu chewed it gently. The winter melon was soft but also had some toughness. She could clearly feel her teeth cutting the winter melon.

The killed winter melon flesh absorbed the deliciousness of the soup very well, and after the final stubbornness, it melted into the mouth, leaving the mouth full of delicious and refreshing feeling.

The egg has a chewy texture but is not too hard. The egg, after absorbing the broth, has a very mellow taste.

The taste of winter melon and egg is intertwined, and the refreshing and mellow tastes blend alternately. The elderly may find it very interesting and enjoy chewing it.

Seeing the old man eating so well, Zhuo Qianqian was filled with pride. After all, her boyfriend’s cooking skills were so good, so it was only natural for her to be proud.

……

Wang Fan’s final main dish has also reached the final stage. He had already started making it while stewing the soup just now.

The sea cucumber he soaked was at a ratio of 1 to 5, while in some restaurants this ratio would become an astonishing 1 to 12, and the taste would be much worse.

The most important thing about cooking sea cucumber with scallions is that the scallion flavor must be strong. I added oil three times just to add the scallion flavor.

Except for the first time of blanching the sea cucumber, water is used for the rest of the cooking process, all other ingredients are broth and seasonings.

With such sophisticated cooking methods and high-quality sea cucumbers, it would be strange if it didn’t taste delicious.

After pouring the last spoonful of sauce on the plate, Wang Fan didn't see Zhuo Qianqian coming back, so he simply covered the plate, took the plate himself and walked towards where the old man lived.

When he entered the room, Zhuo Qianqian had just finished feeding the soup and was cleaning up the dishes, and Wang Fan just took over.

After drinking a bowl of warm winter melon soup, Grandma Wu looked much better and seemed to be more awake. She no longer called Wang Fan or Lao Lin.

Wang Fan still felt a little regretful.

"Grandma Wu, this is the main course for tonight. I named it Braised Scallions and Sea Cucumber Rice Bowl. Please try it and see if it suits your taste."

Although she has never worked in Northeast China, who among those who have eaten melons in the country, let alone in Northeast China, has not tasted the variety developed by Grandma Wu?
There is nothing wrong with thanking the elderly on behalf of your hometown.

When I lifted the lid of the plate, there was very little on it, just a black sea cucumber, a piece of golden onion, a piece of green vegetable, a bowl of white rice and a small red flower decoration.

Although there are not many things, the colors of the few things matched together look very comfortable.

"Okay, thank you, young man."

When the people in the room heard this, they shuddered all over and looked at the old man in disbelief.

You know, after suffering from Alzheimer's disease, although it is possible to be lucid for a while occasionally, the probability is very low, and the time the elderly are lucid is very few. I didn't expect that he would wake up again today!

Aunt Cai hurried out of the house. Such a happy thing must be made known to the superiors. In order not to disturb the elderly while they were eating, those leaders were not there.
