Chapter 189 - Roasted Sheeps Leg (1/2)

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.”
