Chapter 147 - Chen Xians Visit (1/2)

“Brother, will Daddy and Mommy appear?”

Xu Tian asked Xu Le with a tender voice. Xu Le heard that she had not had dinner in kindergarten, so he was making egg with shrimp for her.

When he heard this, he said, “They will, just wait patiently.”

During the first 20 minutes of the live broadcast, they had been bragging about how awesome the “Master Chef” who had yet to show his face was. They had even compared Zhang Tong, Chen Xian, as well as other local chefs who had a very high reputation with the “Master Chef” to praise him. The audiences were dumbfounded when they heard that. They really thought that the Master Chef was one of the top chefs in Asia. The cheers from the audience grew louder and louder.

Xu Le’s hands paused slightly as he thought to himself, “Rather than saying that the program is implementing strong variety effect in the competition, it would be more accurate to say that they are trampling on his peers to support him. Who exactly is that person? How can he be so glorious under the premise of a fair competition?”

He cracked and scattered five eggs, and added salt pepper powder, a small amount of water starch and fragrant oil. This would preserve the freshness of the eggs to the greatest extent.

Xu Le cut a cross on the surface of the tomato and placed it in the boiling water. After that, he peeled off the skin on it and diced it.

“Brother, when is dinner?”

“Soon, in ten minutes.”

Xu Le swiftly picked the removed the prawn shell and took out the innards. After marinating it for a while, he washed it with cold water and finally poured some yellow wine over it.

The prawns were poured into the pot and boiled until they were 60-70% cooked. Then, they were scooped out and mixed evenly in the egg mixture. Oil was poured into the pot and waited until it was 40-50% hot.

After pouring the egg mixture in, he used a spoon to slowly stir-fry the egg over medium heat. After the surface had solidified, he poured the tomatoes into it. After the egg formed in the pot, he immediately stir-fried it with a spoon.

The trick to the egg dish was that it should be tender and smooth. If all the eggs were stuck together into a lump, the texture wouldn’t be good.

According to the original recipe, there was no need for Xu Le to add diced tomatoes. But he knew that his younger sister liked the taste of tomatoes, so he added a little to enhance the flavor.

This way, the egg with shrimp would be sweet and refreshing with tomatoes.

“Ding!” The rice had also been steamed in the rice cooker. The fragrant rice was matched with the fat and thin slices of sausage. During the process of steaming, the grease and fragrance of the sausage seeped into the rice, making the rice grains plump and bright.

“Time to eat.”

Xu Le carried the simple dishes to the living room. The live broadcast competition had just begun. Tonight, the mysterious “Master Chef” was going to compete against a famous French chef. When the name list was announced, Xu Tian’s parents were nowhere to be seen.

Xu Tian’s eyes widened at the sight of the egg with shrimp. Usually, Xu Le would prepare a meal with a variety of dishes. This was the first time she had seen a meal with just one dish and without soup!

“Brother, is it because Sister Lu isn’t around that I can only eat one dish?”

“No.”

Xu Le was amused. He sat cross-legged on the rug and said, “That Sister Lu of yours left in the afternoon. She seems to be attending a class reunion. Also, it’s won’t be easy to digest if you eat too much at night.”

Xu Tian began to eat happily. The eggs were fluffy and tender, the prawns were sweet and chewy, and there was the refreshing sweetness and sourness of tomatoes. She nodded repeatedly as she ate, and she seemed to like it very much.

“Ding! 200 gold coins have been transferred.”

Xu Le raised his eyebrows and said, “Tiantian likes to eat egg with shrimp so much?”

Xu Tian gave a short reply, “Yes! I’m hungry. It’s delicious!”

At this moment, the camera panned over and Shi Zhexian and Shen Hui appeared. The two of them stood hand in hand and greeted everyone with smiles.

Xu Tian’s chopsticks fell onto the table with a clatter and tears immediately flowed out. She cried out to Xu Le, “Brother, hug,”

Xu Le hugged his sister and sat on the rug. He patted her back and coaxed her.

“It’s okay, let’s watch mom and dad compete, okay?”
