Food: Starting with Wonton Noodles

Chapter 53 Picnic on the Beach

Actually, the second method has a milder texture and better taste, so it's a better approach.

But for people who love durian, it's not quite satisfying.

Zhou Meiying and her two little ones all love durian.

Therefore, Zhou Yu's choice was to combine the two methods and simply fill the container with durian flesh to the brim.

I saw that Zhou Yu had taken the whole Musang King durian and used it to extract the flesh and mash it.

Cao Xuezhen felt a little sorry for them: "Hey, don't use the whole durian to make a cake! Leave some for them to eat, otherwise it'll be a waste if they can't finish it."

Cao Xuezhen felt a little sorry for Zhou Yu when he brought the durian back last night.

Durian is really expensive because it's not the season for it.

Zhou Yu: ......

He really wanted to tell Cao Xuezhen that he now earns more than seven thousand yuan a night, and a durian costs several hundred yuan, which is more than enough for him.

However, he still kept half of the fruit, since a whole fruit wouldn't be needed for making a cake.

After whipping the cream, he poured in half of the durian pulp puree and continued whipping.

Then layer on top of each other: a layer of crust, a layer of durian cream, a layer of crust, a layer of durian pulp puree, and so on.

Zhou Yu spread the cream and fruit very carefully, without wasting a single drop.

Zhou Yu was very satisfied with the final product.

He put the cake he made in the refrigerator to chill before starting to eat breakfast.

Breakfast consisted of plain congee, accompanied by steamed carp cooked overnight.

Actually, the unique texture of golden threadfin bream after being marinated overnight is indeed delicious.

Fresh golden threadfin bream has tender flesh, which is easy to overcook, resulting in a powdery and tough texture.

After being dehydrated by sea salt and then steamed, the meat becomes more tender and the fish meat separates into individual pieces, giving it a texture similar to garlic cloves.

Sea salt brings a unique plum aroma and salty fragrance, which is very appetizing when eaten with white porridge.

But the thought that there was still a box of such fish, and that the refrigerator was full of sealed bags of carp, made Zhou Yu lose his appetite.

After breakfast, Zhou Yu packed the fruit, drinks, and the cake he had made into the insulated box he usually used for picnics.

......

The urban area of ​​G City is not too far from the sea. If you walk directly to the nearest beach, it is less than 20 kilometers away.

Wu Hongyu's hometown is located on the coastline further west, nearly fifty kilometers away from the city.

Although the local scenery is very beautiful, the entire coastal coastline of G City, if calculated carefully, has a beach line that stretches for hundreds of kilometers in a discontinuous manner.

Not to mention the various small islands.

So apart from a few particularly famous tourist areas, most of the coastline is only frequented by locals.

When Zhou Yu and his group arrived at the beach, Zhou Meiying and the others had already set up a canopy hammock and arranged tables and chairs in the woods by the beach.

Seeing Zhou Yu and the others get out of the car, the two little ones who were digging in the sand immediately dropped their plastic shovels and ran towards Zhou Yu.

Huihui rushed towards Cao Xuezhen, but before Cao Xuezhen could pick him up, Zhou Weiqiang stepped forward and picked Huihui up first.

Linlin then hugged Zhou Yu's leg and said, "Uncle, didn't you say you brought a cake? Where's the cake?"

He looked left and right, trying to find the cake.

Zhou Yu: "It's still in the trunk; we haven't taken it down yet."

He somewhat disdainfully brushed the sand off Linlin's hands.

Because Linzi was also on the beach, Linlin ran over and threw sand at Zhou Yu, dragging her feet along with the sand.

His leg was then grabbed by Linlin's hand, which had just been playing in the sand, and his clothes and pants were now covered in sand.

As Zhou Yu brushed the sand off Linlin and himself, he said, "If you want to eat cake, go wash your hands quickly, otherwise you'll be all dirty, how can you eat it?"

After saying that, he first moved all the things he had brought to the camp.

Seeing that only Zhou Meiying and her husband were there, Cao Xuezhen couldn't help but ask, "Didn't his grandparents come?"

Wu Hongyu replied, "My dad and the others had to go harvest shrimp today, so they didn't come. It's okay, we can just play here."

Linlin, unable to wait any longer, turned around and pulled up Wu Hongyu's trouser leg, saying, "Dad, quickly turn on the water for me, I want to wash my hands and eat cake."

Wu Hongyu had no choice but to pull the two little ones to the bucket he had brought and help them wash their hands.

When Zhou Yu put the cake on the table, the two little ones, who were still washing their hands, couldn't wait to run back and eat it.

However, Wu Hongyu held him by the arm and he couldn't break free, so he was so anxious that he scratched his head and cheeks.

Seeing that the two little ones had finally been cleaned up and put back by Wu Hongyu, Zhou Yu gave each of them a piece of the cut cake.

Looking at the mille-feuille cake Zhou Yu made, even though Zhou Meiying had heard about Zhou Yu's changes more than once.

But when Wu Hongyu actually saw the cake that Zhou Yu had made, he was still deeply shocked.

It's perfect. Every layer of cake and cream is so even, like a work of art.

He even suspected that Zhou Yu had bought it from some unknown cake shop.

However, after taking a bite, he no longer doubted that Zhou Yu had bought it.

First, the soft, bouncy crepe layers are easily sliced ​​by the teeth, followed by the rich, pure durian aroma—delicate and creamy.

The cream has just the right amount of sweetness; it's not cloying at all.

He couldn't imagine where a cake shop could make such a delicious mille-feuille cake.

Moreover, Wu Hongyu didn't believe any cake shop would be willing to use such thick pieces of durian flesh.

While he was engrossed in the cake, Linlin had already finished the first piece.

He looked at Zhou Yu expectantly and said, "Uncle, can I have another piece?"

Zhou Yu: "Eat up, but if you finish eating now, there won't be any left for lunch."

Linlin was so happy that she was about to grab a piece, but she couldn't help but feel conflicted after hearing the second half of the sentence.

Zhou Meiying made the decision for him, and put the remaining half of the cake back into the insulated box.

"Did you hear what your uncle said? We'll eat at noon, or you'll go hungry."

Seeing that Zhou Meiying had put the cake away, Linlin had no choice but to accept her mother's arrangement.

However, at this moment, he finally began to detach himself from the delicious food and started showing off the new pet he had just caught to Zhou Yu.

"Uncle, look, I caught a little crab!"

"I caught him, my brother is a coward." Before Linlin could finish showing off, Huihui started to undermine her.

"Uncle, this is what I caught, but I gave it to him. He's afraid to catch it himself, afraid it will hurt."

Seemingly to prove herself, Huihui reached into the small bucket, grabbed a crab, and handed it to Zhou Yu.

"Uncle, look, isn't this crab so cute? It looks just like Mr. Krabs from SpongeBob SquarePants."

Coincidentally, the little crab she picked up used its two antennae at the corner of its mouth to scrape the sand out of its eyes.

Its tiny, rice-grain-sized eyes darted left and right before coming back up, much like windshield wipers.
