Chapter 185 - Stirring Soup Second Time (2/2)

“What soup is it? I want to go home and cook some for my children.”

“Buddha Jumps Over Wall.”

After Xu Zhexian said that, everyone in front of him sucked in a deep breath. Regardless of whether they knew how to cook, they all heard of this dish and knew how troublesome it was to prepare.

“Haha,” The person who asked chuckled a few times to ease the awkwardness. “Buddha Jumps Over Wall is indeed difficult to make. I shan’t force myself to make something I can’t.”

“My son is making this soup for a tutorial recording. Look at this, you can follow his account and the video will be uploaded once it’s recorded.”

Shen Hui started to recommend Xu Le to them with huge smiles. Even the wrinkles at the corner of her eyes could not conceal how happy she was as she said, “Also, I must thank you guys for taking care of my son in the past.”

Who had ever taken care of them? They didn’t even know who they were before. The neighbours all looked at one another awkwardly. Then, the old woman said, “Your son is that handsome and adorable one. I remember him. Previously, he even supported me at the entrance.”

After exchanging some pleasantries, the neighbours all expressed their embarrassment, but none of them turned down the soup.

“Your son is the little Master Chef?”

“Wah! He’s so awesome! At such a young age, his culinary skills are already so brilliant!”

“Just expected of other people’s children. Not only is he handsome, he can also cook delicious food and take care of his sister. I always met him sending a little girl to school too.”

After some small talks, the neighbours finally left. Before leaving, they did not forget to leave behind their unit numbers and level. Xu Zhexian and his wife exchanged glances and started laughing.

“Be quieter, Lele is already asleep.”

“As expected of our son, he’s so great.”

After praising him, the two of them locked the door and returned to their room. On the other side of the wall, Lu Yuxi was adding subtitles to the video, adjusting the colour and adding transitions. She was intending to record a part and edit it immediately so that it could be uploaded sooner.

Suddenly, she heard some sounds from the kitchen. Instinctively, she opened the door to look and saw Xu Le tiptoeing to add pigeon eggs into the pot.

“Aren’t you sleeping?”

Lu Yuxi lowered her volume and asked. Xu Le replied, “I set an alarm for two hours. Right, the step is not recorded down. Come over and record it.”

“After two hours, add the pigeon eggs and soaked shark’s fin into the pot. Now we just need to wait for eight hours before we can open it up.”

Lu Yuxi pursed her lips and took the video camera to record half a minute of video. After that, she said, “Hurry and rest.”

“Yeah, good night.”

In the morning, Xu Le turned off the alarm. After being in a slight daze, he bounced from the bed and hurried to the kitchen.

The method for making Buddha Jumps Over Wall had to be precise. Eight hours must be exact. He looked at the stopwatch in the kitchen and there were a few seconds left.

He turned off the fire and opened the lid.

The dredge inside were filtered and the soup pot was placed in a pail. On the surface, a layer of cling wrap was placed.

Lu Yuxi came over late and said with a yawn, “What’s this step?”

“Just place it inside the freezer. You just take a transition scene for me to place the soup in the freezer.”

As Xu Le spoke, he carried the pail and placed it in the lowest level of the fridge. He stood up and clapped his hand, saying, “The freezer can remove the oil better. Since oil is lighter than water, it will float to the surface after freezing and it will be easier to remove the oil layer using a spoon.”
