Chapter 96 Autumns Colors Cannot Be Contained In Garden (1/2)

Long Xi, while serving the dish, said with a smile, ”This dish is ordinary in appearance, but it has something special inside. It's called Diao Chan tofu, also called Hidden in Han Palace...”

”All right, all right, do you think everyone else doesn't know it by another name? Isn't it loach drilling tofu?” Grandma said to her.

Long Xi nodded her head repeatedly. She gave grandma a piece of meat and said with a smiling face, ”Yes yes, Lord Grandma is experienced and knowledgeable, so she naturally knows that. Lord Grandma helped me put the loaches in the clear water basin with the egg white liquid yesterday, and fed them for at least 24 hours so that they could spit out all the dirt. Otherwise, it would be my fault to let you eat unclean things.”

Mo Kun asked curiously while eating, ”Why would loaches get into the tofu?”

Long Xi said, ”Because the loaches are still alive when they are put into the pot. After the pot heats up, it becomes hot and since loaches are afraid of heat, they will drill into the tofu.”

Mo Kun laughed and said, ”Wow, I didn't expect you to be so cruel? You won't do that to me, will you? Mo Kun drilling tofu?”

Long Xi smiled and said, ”My dear, do you think I will dare? You eat first, then I'll cook fried rice omelette, which is most delicious when it's freshly cooked!”

Grandma smiled and said, ”We're a family, of course, we will eat together. We're waiting for you!”

Mo Kun said with a smile, ”Right, if I don't wait for you, I'll not eat well!”

He didn't know what Omelette Fried Rice was, so he went to the kitchen out of curiosity and watched Long Xi fry the rice.

He asked Long Xi, ”What's Omelette Fried Rice?”

She diced all the onions, carrots, chicken breasts and mushrooms. Then, she seasoned the chicken breasts with light soy sauce, shallot, ginger, salt, sugar and a little cornstarch, then stir-fried them with vegetables, in a pot. It was already cooked, so all she had to do now was to to fry the rice and cook the egg rolls.

She stir-fried rice with tomato sauce and tossed the pot, to wrap each grain of rice with sweet and sour tomato sauce, while saying, ”Yanlie is the transliteration of omelette, meaning fried egg roll or fried egg dumplings. It's very delicious. You can also call it egg roll rice. Personally, I prefer to make egg rolls in a semicircle.”

Mo Kun looked at the action and strength that she used to toss the pot, it was unlike an amateur chef under 18 years old. She was doing it like a real chef.

Long Xi added the cut vegetables and diced meat, stir-fried them with rice, stirring it well. After first filling the bowls with the rice, vegetable and diced meat, she then started to cook the egg rolls.

She beat the eggs and cooked five pieces of egg rolls of identical thickness, in a frying pan, and used two eggs per roll.

In this way, the thickness and tenderness of the egg rolls could be guaranteed. If the egg roll was too thin, it was not tender enough and broke easily when wrapping rice. If it was too thick, it did not taste very good!

Putting in the rice, diced meat, and diced vegetables, she started to wrap the rice with the egg rolls.

Experts always wrapped the rice with the egg rolls slowly, through tossing the pot, so that they could really seal the food in the egg rolls.

Long Xi was, of course, an expert chef.

She gave another round of textbook-level pot-tossing performance, which astounded Mo Kun!

When the golden egg roll was completely wrapped with the rich ”stuffing”, she then closed the egg roll, poured tomato sauce on the egg roll, and a red smiling face appeared on the semi-circular golden egg roll, which looked so great!

Mo Kun could not help kissing her on the face, smiled and saying, ”Xixi, in terms of cooking, I really respect you!”

Long Xi felt her face blushing again.

She said, ”It's for grandma. She likes tomato sauce. Do you want sweet chili sauce on yours?”

Mo Kun took the omelet rice to grandma, then went back to the kitchen and said to Long Xi, ”I'd like to try the sweet chili sauce.”

”Okay!” Long Xi smiled sweetly and started to cook the Omelette Fried Rice with the sweet chili sauce.

She was very happy! For her, it was her greatest happiness that her darling could eat the food she cooked and was so satisfied with it.

Long Xi cooked many delicacies that Mo Kun and grandma loved, each of which was excellent in color, aroma and taste. Lord Mo Kun and grandma ate with joy.

Eating this meal was really a delicious and incomparably pleasant experience!

Earlier, while watching TV with grandma, he used his laptop to deal with the problems of the company's electronic accounting, so that he would be free in the afternoon.

His new company would officially open in half a month!

At noon, after they had their afternoon siesta, Mo Kun drove Long Xi and grandma to Clear Lake Dream Gallery.

First, they went to the sales department and said they wanted to look for houses. The sales ladies, dressed in professional suits, were very enthusiastic and took them to visit the gardens and show houses.

Neither Long Xi nor grandma knew that Mo Kun was going to buy a house here, nor did they know that he was a secret billionaire. Both of them thought they were here only for a visit.

The main door of Clear Lake Dream Gallery was a vermilion gate, with side doors on both sides. In front of the door, stood a pair of stone lions, each of which was flanked by a uniformed security guard.

At first glance, it resembled the scene that Lin Daiyu saw, when she first entered Rongguo Mansion, described in A Dream of Red Mansions.
