Lin Ke Song’s Mixed mushroom pork noodles
“Then I won’t let you be together with Xiao Xue”
“Since that’s the case, why don’t you sacrifice yourself, and get together withYi Ran tilted his head, and smiled like a cat that had just finished a fish
Lin Ke Song gave him a pat at the back of his head, too lazy to bother about him
Sometimes she really wanted to ask this bastard, if she really said “Okay ah”, what kind of expression will you show
At night, Uncle cooked a whole table of fine dishes, he was glad when he saw that Lin Ke Song was back, but Xiao Xue at the side constantly had a frozen face
“it’s so rare for you, Ke Song to be back, and even Yi Ran’s joined us In the past, for these kind of occasions, it’s always been Xiao Xue and I celebrating Last year’s birthday, this girl even went out with her friends for a picnic at the national park, totally forgot about her father!”
“Dad! Didn’t I get you a present toYi Ran
She stillYi Ran viewed her
But Lin Ke Song was very shocked Beforehand, Uncle was even suspicious of Song Yi Ran because he was too good looking, worried that Lin Ke Song would really date hiet hurt and whatnot Now he didn’t even call hi and all that, but even called him “Yi Ran” Just what soup did this chap make Uncle drink?
Uncle laughed, turned to Lin Ke Song and said: “are you learning well at your teacher’s? an average Michelin chef tends to be very busy Did he teach you anything?”
“Because I’ve hardly ever stepped in the kitchen, everything is being taught froredients, thethe different level of flavours and more”
“That le dish?” Lin Xian Xue chillily said a sentence, “you have two morelike that is to be cannon fodder there?”
“Xiao Xue!” Uncle lowered his voice
“what I ive cousin so and flavours and whatnot, it’s obviously the other party doing what is perfunctory It is a Michelin star head chef, how is it possible that they’d teach a rookie personally It’s totally a waste of time” Lin Xiao Xue turned her face, rolled her eyes
This girl’s vengeful heart is really strong ah
“Don’t bother about her, her tehed, and said softly to Lin Xiao Xue, “we still have a guest here today, how ugly do you want to show yourself?”
“anyway don’t you think that this daughter isn’t as filial as this niece? Then you let her make a bowl of noodles for you! In any case, today is your birthday!”
“You……” Uncle chocked, and could only shake his head
Lin Xiao Xue’s attitude radually aard
“Then just ’s shoulder, “You just ca care of you the whole time You just ood or bad, it’s all about the intentions”
Once Song Yi Ran said that, Lin Ke Song also felt that it was good Gifting of the birthday cake and whatnot, it was all prepared by Jiang Qian Fan, even the money wasn’t paid by her
And the i Qian Fan made a bowl of mixed mushroom and pork noodles for her
His every move, every step done, were all remembered vividly by her
She too wanted to try it out, if Jiang Qian Fan were not by her side, would she really be unable to do anything
“Okay ah, Uncle, I’llYi Ran, you accompany my Uncle and drink some beer!”
“Okay ah, make more I’ve only ever eaten your instant noodles! Let me snitch off Uncle’s honour ba”
“Can ah, even if it’s not good you have to eat it all”
“No problem ah”
Lin Ke Song laughed to the kitchen next room This was the place where Uncle cooked for the family
She found pork, redients, and buckwheat noodles She put water to boil, and according to Jiang Qian Fan’s arlic clove, prepared the ginger, and marinated the pork
Jiang Qian Fan once said, the difference between a top chef and an average chef wasn’t the process, but the details These details include the aree
Lin Ke Song first stir-fried the water content in the mushroo soup, to increase the texture of the noodles in her ure, she imitated all his movements and steps based on her memory
Until the end, she gave the noodles a good mix, used the chopsticks to pick up a little strand and sent it into her mouth
She blinked her eyes, even though the layers of flavours weren’t as rich as Jiang Qian Fan’s, the pork was somewhat a little old, but she was very satisfied with the result of cooking for the first time
As she was putting the noodles on the table, Lin Ke Song thought in her heart When she was stir-frying the pork slices, she should have adjusted the strength of the fla, thestir-fried with the pork slices
Uncle looked very happy when he saw the noodles: “Aiya, this is mixed mushroom pork noodles ah! In the past when Xiao Xue’s mom was still around, she made it frequently for me!”
“You really ood ah, but we don’t knohether the taste will have an explosive reaction” Song Yi Ran blinked
That face that was asking for a beating, Lin Ke Song really wanted to use the chopsticks to hit his brains
Uncle lifted the chopsticks, got a bowlful, blew on it, and sent it into his mouth
“En! En! Tastes pretty good ah! Ke Song, the noodles are very chewy!”
“Because after boiling, I added a round of ice cubes”
“Oh, heat expands, cold shrinks, using this method will make the noodles chewier? I’ve remembered it!”
Lin Xiao Xue played with her phone at the side, and said softly: “how can it be that ical”
Song Yi Ran also had a ood too ah, no extra water content, very fragrant”
Lin Ke Song smiled
“You too try the ood”
Lin Xiao Xue still sat where she ithout
Song Yi Ran indifferently had another bowl, gently nudged Lin Ke Song saying: “with this standard, why not I invest in a noodle shop for you, just sell mixed mushroom pork noodles would do!”
“Ke Song, did your teacher teach you to h it looks really simple, but there are a lot of techniques ah!” Uncle could not help asking
“Actually…… I haven’t been taught by teacher It’s just that I was too hungry one night, and wanted to go to the kitchen to grab so, and unexpectedly buht in front of h”
“You really kno to show off The great teacher not only has to teach you from the basics, but even ht?” Lin Xiao Xue lifted the corners of her lips, full of mockery
Lin Ke Song was muted It did indeed sound unbelievable And when applied to Jiang Qian Fan, it sounded even more unbelievable
“Don’t bother about this girl It’s probably because she has an appointain, and in the end has to accompany this old man, that made her unhappy”
This dinner, Lin Xiao Xue didn’t eatYi Ran chatted about the restaurant business, Song Yi Ran’s experience made Uncle appreciative
When they finished the ht thirty
Lin Ke Song looked at the tiht that if Miller really reached here at 9per?
Song Yi Ran’s head suddenly popped over, his hair gently brushi+ng Lin Ke Song’s ear: “Why do you keep looking at your phone?”
“Oh……to send ain ba”
“You’ve been to the back kitchen of a fine dining restaurant? Is it a Chinese or western cuisine?” Uncle asked interestedly
“It’s a western one”
“Then what did you do inside? Were you at the side looking at them prepare western dished?”
“Nope The back kitchen was too busy, if I stood at the side watching, I’d definitely disturb the others I was helping theer slices ah I was even hollered at too, because I couldn’t differentiate salmon The salmon pieces I cut, the head chef there even said that there were no flaws too”
Bringing up this point, Lin Ke Song felt pretty happy
“since it’s like that, don’t let your teacher wait Let’s cut the cake!” Uncle had full support for Lin Ke Song’s learning
Song Yi Ran brought the cake out
The box was intricate, just using your hand to touch and you’d know that much attention was paid to the texture
Lin Xiao Xue as playing with her phone glanced at the cake box, suddenly her eyes lighted up, and rushed over: “Isn’t this Blue Tulips’ cake? How did you e to buy this?”
“Blue Tulips?” Uncle was stunned too
“Ah? What’s wrong with Blue Tulips?” Lin KE Song did not understand why Lin Xiao Xue was shocked
“Blue Tulips is New York’s ue cake got 《gouro, their newly released passionfruit carrot cake becauide, they are the best fine dining restaurant dealing primarily with desserts” Uncle explained
“How did you buy this? A birthday cake needs at least a reservation 3 months in advance! I have a friend, her father is the vice president of some bank, and even when it was for his birthday, the reservation clause was the same!”
“It’sback for Uncle’s birthday, so it was reserved impromptu for me”
Lin Ke Song did not think that for the life of Jiang Qian Fan would order such a costly cake
Lin Xiao Xue gaped, she probably wanted to refute Lin Ke Song or so, that her teacher couldn’t possibly do soherself, she couldn’t possibly have ordered this cake
She could only wait, when the box was opened, and the cake is a fake one Then she’d be able to have a good laugh at Lin Ke Song
Song Yi Ran and Uncle lifted the box carefully, to reveal the cake in the box
The European styled cake was very silance, one could see that the cream at the top was very uniform, the cocoa poas evenly spread on the surface The creaar, shaved leentle, the whole layout wasn’t too crowded, but it gave off a sense of elegance
This was indeed a Blue Tulips styled birthday cake
But Lin Xiao Xue still did not believe, and only waited for the cake to be cut
Until Uncle had made a wish, and cut the cake, the insides had clear layers of cake and cream, and a thin layer of fruit
The fruits were obviously very fresh, not any kind of canned fruits
The first mouth Lin Xiao Xue had, she realised she couldn’t endure it any to bite, and s the whole birthday cake
The soft cream, doesn’t make people feel sick frorance and sourness of the lemon did the taste have iness, the high quality butter in the eht about a taste that made people unable to stop
Lin Ke Song closed her eyes, and savoured the ingredients within little by little
As expected, the reason for being delicious, was because of the radiant balance of the flavours of the ingredients If there were a little bit more butter, the cake will be soft and sticky, if the butter were a little sweeter, the sourness of the lemon will overpower and make it lose the balance
Everything, was the grasping of the degree
Right at this ti
