Chapter 148 - Chen Xians Visit (2/2)

Li Qing kept every step in mind and nitpicked, “Did you add too much salt just now?”

“You need to add a little more salt to the hot and sour soup. Otherwise, the saltiness will be suppressed by the sourness and you won’t be able to taste it.”

“I see.” Li Qing looked like he had been taught a lesson. He then asked, “Does the spicy and sour soup count as a substitute for the Wensi tofu soup?”

“The texture is different and the cooking method is much simpler. You’ll know after you taste it.”

After Xu Le scooped three bowls of soup, he saw that he was still standing in the kitchen. He asked, “Aren’t you leaving? What else do you want to do?”

“I think that it will greasy just eating the braised intestines. Why don’t you process it some more?”

Xu Le said unhappily, “You’re too troublesome. Do it yourself.”

“No, my cooking isn’t as good as yours.”

Li Qing didn’t care about his face anymore. In order to satisfy his appetite, he started to tease Xu Le.

Five minutes later, Xu Le entered the kitchen again.

“The braised pig intestines does not allow me to do much. If the ingredients are not good enough, it’s useless no matter what you do.”

Xu Le cut off a piece of processed fat sausage and chewed it carefully. Most of the fat inside had been removed. It should have been washed with salt and starch. There was a crispness in the chewiness and the five fragrances in the braised sauce was fragrant and flavorful.

He nodded. “Not bad. No wonder the store has such high ratings.”

After saying that, he glanced at the receipt stuck on the box and continued, “It’s so expensive. If it doesn’t taste good, I’m afraid it will be receive complaints until it closes for business.”

“What flavor do you want?”

“Spicy. How about you make some stir-fried pig intestines?”

“Sure.”

He cut peppers, ginger and garlic into shreds and added them. Lastly, he also added the celery stems, then stored them separately.

A small amount of pepper powder, chicken essence, sugar, vinegar, and soy sauce were added to the bowl.

He added 30 grams of vegetable seed oil into the boiling pot, heating it until it was 70% hot and emitting smoke. Then, he added all the condiments into the pot and stir-fried until the fragrance was forced out. After that, he poured the sliced intestines into the pot.

Because it had been braised beforehand, he only needed to cook over a huge fire for a minute. After it was heated up, it would be ready to be served.

Coincidentally, the braised meat in the microwave had also been heated up, so they could be served together.

Xu Tian was extremely tired and went back to her room to sleep. Lu Yuxi was still lying on the coffee table, unconscious.

“Hey, get up and drink the soup. Otherwise, your stomach will feel uncomfortable.”

Xu Le reached out to pat her. Lu Yuxi looked up and Xu Le noticed that her sleeves were wet with his sharp eyes. He immediately realized that she was crying.

“Where did you go today? How were you so drunk at a class reunion?”

“I went to see an old friend.”

Lu Yuxi took a small sip from the bowl. The hot and sour soup was sour and spicy. It was very comfortable to drink, but it did not stimulate her stomach. After taking a few sips, she leaned back and sighed. “It’s so good to be alive.”

Li Qing had scooped a bowl of sausage rice and was mixing it with stir-fried pig intestines. He was stuffing it into his mouth when he heard that. He said in a muffled voice, “Are you turning into a philosopher after drinking?”
