Panda Novel

At this moment, the soup was like brown jelly. It was soft and tender and moved side to side.

Xu Le said to the camera, "I made quite a lot. There are more than ten portions in total. If everyone can't eat so much at home at once, you can split the soup evenly and save it. It's a good soup base that will be useful for stewing other ingredients in the future."

After the soup melted, as the spoon stirred, it revealed a golden color.

"After brewing and stirring the soup, the flavors of dozens of ingredients and spices have already fused into this pot. Now, adding the chicken essence or thick soup packet would be a waste. You just need the fish dew to season it and add color. Now, we can complete with the last step."

"Pigeon eggs, Liao ginseng, scallop, mushrooms and fish belly… All kinds of ingredients are sandwiched in a net made of bamboo. Seal the sides and boil them in a jar. Place them in order according to the time they're cooked. After two hours, the various ingredients can be placed in the pot and wait for the soup to be poured."

"The finished product of 'Buddha jumps over the wall' is fragrant and mellow. If you feel that the soup doesn't taste strong enough, you can add a little sea salt before serving it."

"Buddha jumps over the wall is actually a dish that seeks common ground. Although there are many kinds of ingredients inside, the taste that comes out is indeed very harmonious and even complementary. It won't particularly stick out…"

As Xu Le explained, he quickly cleaned up the kitchen table and placed the unused ingredients into a plastic bag and placed it in the freezer.

Lu Yuxi clasped her hands in boredom and said, "Are you really planning to do what I just told you?"

"Yes." Xu Le asked, "Would I just brush you off?"

At this moment, the sound of keying password was heard from outside. As soon as Shen Hui entered, she smiled and waved the thing in her hand.

"Lele baby, guess what this is!"

Xu Le smelled a faint mutton smell and said, "Roasted sheep's leg… It's semi-finished. It's only marinated and not roasted."

"Yes, we'll take everyone to the suburbs to roast sheep's leg tonight. At that time, we'll apply for leave for Tiantian and go together."

After Shen Hui finished speaking, she carefully raised her eyes to catch Xu Le's expression. When she realized that he did not have any reaction, she heaved a sigh of relief and continued, "Your father and I have been back for a while and the other side was urging us to hurry up. Seeing that you won the competition, we were naturally especially gratified."

With that, she walked in and patted Xu Le on the shoulder. "You fulfilled Mom and Dad's wishes. We're all proud of you."

"…Yeah."

Xu Le could hear the hidden meaning in her words and guessed that his parents were going to France to continue their culinary studies. He knew their love and obsession with cooking. He only said, "What about Tiantian?"

"She has always been studying here. Learning a new language after going abroad is also a big challenge. So I'll leave it to you and Miss Lu to take care of her. Don't worry, we'll continue to transfer you living expenses."

As soon as Shen Hui finished speaking, doubt rose in Lu Yuxi's eyes. She could not help but ask, "Continue to pay for living expenses? Have you transferred it before?"

As far as she knew, Xu Le had opened the store to pay off the house mortgage from the beginning. But he did not expect it to grow bigger and bigger. He had to go on shows and participate in competitions. It was not until the live-stream of the Master Chef competition that he had completely established himself in the industry and became more famous, making it less difficult for Xu Le to earn money.

Shen Hui was stunned. "Didn't we?"

Her expression changed several times before she suddenly understood something. She turned around and shouted, "Xu Zhexian, what's wrong with you!"

"Isn't this to train my children? Besides, I'm not letting them fend for themselves. I usually get my friends to keep an eye on them. When they run out of money, I'll definitely give them…"

Before he could finish, Shen Hui smiled at Xu Le and Lu Yuxi and said, "I'll go in and talk to him. You guys go ahead."

Xu Le was a little speechless, but his personality was not one to dwell on the past. He said, "Rest first. Are you having lunch?"

Lu Yuxi shook her head. "The dumplings I ate in the morning are quite filling. I'm not hungry yet. Let's talk about it when I'm hungry."

"Sure."

Xu Le had the same intention. Suddenly, Shen Hui's fierce scolding came from the bedroom, followed by the sound of something being smashed.

Lu Yuxi was shocked. "Did your parents fight? Do you want to take a look?"

"You don't have to."

Xu Le could tell that Shen Hui was the only one angry. Xu Zhexian remained silent as he was scolded. Xu Le felt relieved and said, "They won't really fight."

Sure enough, half an hour later, Shen Hui, who had combed her hair and clothes again, walked out of the bedroom neatly. She smiled at Xu Le and instructed Xu Zhexian as if nothing had happened.

"Honey, go put that sheep's leg in the fridge. Didn't you order the charcoal fire and the stove? Remember to collect them. Don't delay the camping tonight."

"…Yeah."

Xu Zhexian was like an eggplant that had been punched and flattened. He nodded and went to settle the matters.

Lu Yuxi couldn't help but laugh. She turned her head and smiled with her back facing the living room. "Let's continue. Don't cook until it overflows."

"How is that possible? This soup is covered by bamboo. Besides, it's on the lowest heat. It won't overflow."

After Xu Le finished explaining, he looked at the marinated sheep's leg and had a feeling that it would be a "big project". Hence, he said to Shen Hui, "Let's leave in the afternoon and not wait until night time. The sheep's leg will take three to four hours to be completely cooked. The skin needs to be charred and oiled. Moreover, if you want it to taste good, just the cumin chili powder is not enough."

"Okay, I'll listen to Lele."

Shen Hui mainly studied French food. Most of the customers ordered bloody steak, so in her eyes, it was fine as long as it was not raw.

"I'm meeting a friend today. He happened to be slaughtering sheep at his home and said that he wanted to make a roasted whole sheep. Once your father and I went, their roasted whole sheep immediately had a leg missing, hahaha…"

Shen Hui curled up on the sofa and laughed. She looked up at the renovation of the house. At that time, she had made up her mind to let the children live in it. Therefore, all the ceiling light fixture and furniture followed a simple cartoon theme. It was as if the Disney princesses were hanging at the entrance. The light above her head was in the shape of the cartoon sheep, Shaun… Looking at it now, she felt exceptionally emotional.

Xu Le crushed the bell peppers, millet peppers, and green flower peppers in the grinding bowl, added the sesame seeds, sea salt, black pepper, garlic paste and sesame oil.

Fragrant leaves and aniseeds were added over the chilli powder after the cinnamon leaves were fried in an oil pan. Finally, the barbecue powder and cumin powder were mixed well together.

"When roasting the sheep's leg, brush this layer of oil as you turn it, and finally sprinkle the seasoning. This way, it will be especially flavorful when it's ready."

After Xu Le finished speaking, he looked at the time and said, "It's almost done. It'll be ready in ten minutes."

There was a bubbling stew under the earthen jar. The fragrance was distant.

Xu Zhexian walked into the kitchen and rummaged through the cabinets. He said, "If we are eating meat, we should have it with some wine. Where did the Moutai in my collection go?"
