Chapter 1084 Touring the Farm
Chapter 1084 Touring the Farm
As a true chef without a certificate, when Li Shenxing came to the kitchen and decided to make some moves, the first thing he did was to get familiar with the battlefield he was about to set foot on. After all, before cooking, you should at least understand where the seasonings, tableware and ingredients you will use later~ This is the most important preparation before cooking.
After checking the refrigerator and the vegetable basket, Li Shenxing decided what cold dishes to cook in a while, and shredded carrots and enoki mushrooms.
This is a very simple cold dish, and it is also very delicious without adding chili oil. The key is to suit most people's tastes.
Cut the carrots into shreds, remove the roots of the enoki mushrooms, wash them, take out a soup pot, fill half a pot of water, add a few drops of oil and a little salt.
After the water is boiled, put the enoki mushrooms in and cook them. After they are almost cooked, put the carrots in. When the shredded carrots are blanched, turn off the heat and pour out the enoki mushrooms and shredded carrots and put them in cold water, then dry the water and put it on the plate for later use.
Next is to prepare the most important seasonings, take out a few garlic and press it into garlic paste, then take out a small milk pan and pour some olive oil in it, wait until the oil temperature rises and add the garlic paste to stir-fry, then pour in soy sauce and cook for a while and turn off the heat.
Finally, just pour the seasonings into the previously cooked enoki mushrooms and shredded carrots, then pour some balsamic vinegar, evenly use chopsticks, and add some celery leaves to make a decoration and serve.
There is only so much portion size for a cold dish, so it is definitely not enough for so many people to eat, and one spoonful per person is almost gone.
Just now, when I was looking through the refrigerator, I found a pack of okra, so Li Shenxing decided to add a cold okra.
Cold okra is even simpler. After blanching, pour the prepared sauce directly on and serve. If you want to make the plate look better, cut the okra in half and place it neatly on the plate, and finally pour the sauce on it. In order to increase the taste, you can put it in ice water after blanching. This will not only keep the okra green, but also not so much mucus on the okra when cut.
By the time Li Shenxing prepared both cold dishes, the white rice porridge was also cooked.
At this time, Aunt Mary also prepared her best-known English breakfast, so the two of them started to work together and brought the breakfast to the dining table.
Since breakfast has been prepared, it’s time to have breakfast. Just as Li Shenxing was hesitating whether to call his grandparents, his grandparents walked into the restaurant one by one.
"Hey~, good morning, grandma, did you sleep well last night?" Li Shenxing greeted with a bright smile.
"Good morning, my little naughty, when you see you come, grandma's sleep has improved." Ailena smiled and walked over and hugged Li Shenxing.
Li Shenxing gently patted his grandma on the back and joked: "That's good. As long as you don't dislike us being too noisy, I think it's a good idea to stay here for half a month."
"Half a month? Really? Are you not kidding?" Grandma looked surprised and disbelief.
Li Shenxing continued to tease and said, "Whether it is a joke, it depends on your decision."
"Oh~ God~! This is really good news, it's so good... David, did you hear that Daniel said they were going to stay here for half a month so that we could go play with Little Pea and Little Bunzi."
"Yes, yes, I heard it, this is really good news." Grandpa replied with a gentle face.
"Grandma, I'm jealous. I thought you wouldn't bear to part with me, but I didn't expect..." Li Shenxing flattered his mouth and looked unhappy.
"Hahaha, little naughty, you are all fathers, so don't be jealous with your own children." Seeing the grandson jealousy, grandma smiled and laughed.
Of course, Li Shenxing would not really do something to compete with his children, it was just to make grandma happy.
"Grandma, I cooked some side dishes and white rice porridge today. Do you want to add one?" Li Shenxing began to talk about it.
"White rice porridge? Hahaha... Of course I have to come and I haven't eaten your skills for a long time. Hurry up, help me serve a bowl." When I heard Li Shenxing cook, the happiest thing was my grandfather.
Although he has lived in the UK for decades, his grandfather's stomach still retains the Chinese stomach. Although the food made by his grandmother is delicious, his grandfather still cooks and cooks some Chinese food from time to time to adjust it. However, because he does not have any talent for cooking, the food he cooks can only be described as ordinary, so most of the food he cooks is cooked by himself. Of course, sometimes grandmother will give him a few bites of face.
So every time Li Shenxing and the others come, except for grandma, grandpa is the happiest because he can taste his favorite Chinese food.
Then, before Lee Shenxing could go upstairs and call him, Kim Hyun-sook, Lee Jung-gu, his uncle, two cousins, Hyo-ri and the children all got up and washed up, and got down from the second floor.
So, everyone came to the restaurant to share this rare breakfast.
*-*The arrangements for this year's holidays are so annoying*-*
After breakfast, the uncle had to check the farm as usual. Lee Shenxing, who was idle, took Hyo-ri and the children with him, while Lee Jung-gu stayed at home to chat with his grandparents, while Kim Hyun-sook and aunt Mari were making afternoon desserts in the kitchen. The two cousins went out after breakfast. They had friends gathering today, and they were friends and classmates who grew up together. Every time they came back, they would find time to get together to contact each other.
The farm is not far from the villa. In order to allow Hyoly and the children and others to better appreciate the scenery of the farm, my uncle drove a convertible farm truck, which was hanging a truck bucket behind a small four-wheel drive tractor, and then used two wooden boards as stools on both sides of the truck, which looked at each other very much with the tractor that Li Shenxing saw in the countryside when he was a child.
The morning air has a hint of coolness and fragrance, and it makes people feel very comfortable when walking through it.
The uncle was not fast when driving the tractor. While driving, he explained some of the situations in the farm to Li Shenxing and the others.
When passing by the cornfield, my uncle stopped the car and said to Li Shenxing and the others: "The corn has grown very well this year and is very sweet. I will pick some and cook them home for you to try. If you like it, you can pick them every day. Now is the freshest, tenderest and most delicious corn."
While talking, my uncle had already broken a basket of tender corn.
"Wow~! This corn is so good. My mind is thinking about how to eat it. Fresh sweet corn batter, fried corn cakes, fresh glutinous corn paste, fresh corn porridge, corn carrot pork dumplings, corn bone soup, corn soup..." A string of delicacies with various corn as raw materials slipped out of Li Shenxing's mouth.
"I can't wait to eat it after hearing what you said." Nathan never thought that the most common corn could have so many ways to make it, which was really eye-opening.
In the past, Li Shenxing also came to the farm for a short stay, but basically he was the aunt who cooked. At that time, he was still very young and had fewer opportunities to show his cooking skills. In addition, he came here to play around for vacation, so his uncle actually didn't know very well what level of cooking skills Li Shenxing's cooking skills reached.
Li Shenxing smiled and said, "Uncle, this is just a small beginning."
"Is that so? Then I'm more looking forward to what kind of surprises you will bring me next."
"That's right to look forward to it. In the next days, I will let you doubt your life."
"Suspect life? Wow~...It sounds very good." The uncle squinted his eyes and smiled.
While their uncle and nephew were chatting, the greedy little pea had already pulled a corn away and started to chew it. Seeing this, the little bun on the side also started to chew it like her sister holding a corn mouth.
By the time Hyori discovered it, the corn had been half gnawed by these two little guys.
Fortunately, corn can also be eaten raw, especially fresh corn, which tastes no worse than eating it after being cooked, but is more fresh and sweeter.
However, because he was worried that the child's stomach was delicate, Li Shenxing did not let the greedy little guy continue to eat it.
After harvesting a basket of corn, my uncle drove the tractor again to continue touring with them.

Thanks to [krezreal] for its 100 reward support. I hate those who have to go to work on both sides. I really want to beat up the guy who arranged the holiday.
