Chapter 20 Treading the Snow in Search of Plum Blossoms
Fang Yu came out of the kitchen, just as Lin Xiaoxiao had just gotten up, her face was very pale, and although she had just woken up, she still looked very tired.
"Xiaoxiao, what's wrong, what's uncomfortable?" Although Fang Yu already knew the reason, when he saw Lin Xiaoxiao's appearance, he couldn't help but ask.
Lin Xiaoxiao heard Fang Yu's voice only to find that he had returned from morning exercise, and looked a little flustered: "Ah, Brother Fang, are you back?" Oh, I'm fine, I just didn't sleep well at night and didn't get in the way. Wait a minute, I'll prepare breakfast. ”
Fang Yu hurriedly stopped Lin Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, no need, this time is really hard for you, I have already made breakfast." ”
Lin Xiaoxiao was taken aback, and said embarrassedly: "Brother Fang, I'm sorry, I went to bed late for some reason today, and I will definitely get up early tomorrow." ”
Fang Yu shook his head with a smile, "Xiaoxiao, it's okay, I think you've been working too hard lately..."
Lin Xiaoxiao interrupted Fang Yu's words: "It's not hard, I know I'm stupid and I don't do much, but I will definitely try my best to do everything well, Brother Fang, you believe me." As he spoke, his eyes moistened a little.
Fang Yu looked at Lin Xiaoxiao's big misty eyes, and felt a little pity for her. This girl is probably because of her childhood experience, and she cares a lot about whether she is needed.
"Xiaoxiao, I have always believed in you, you are a top student of Moling Academy, much smarter than me. You see, I have five million now and I don't want to go outside to find a decoration company, I just think that the design you make must be the most suitable for our small store. ”
Hearing Fang Yu say this, Lin Xiaoxiao's mood immediately turned cloudy and clear. Especially when Fang Yu said "our small shop", his pale face also showed a hint of redness.
Fang Yu saw that Lin Xiaoxiao didn't speak, thinking that she hadn't let go yet, so he made an excuse in his heart, "Xiaoxiao, when I was exercising in the morning today, I came up with a new recipe for making porridge." I just want to try this recipe first, and I want you to try it for me and give me some advice, okay?. ”
Lin Xiaoxiao listened to Fang Yu's words and hurriedly nodded.
Fang Yu turned back to the kitchen and brought out two large bowls of steaming porridge after a while. Before she put it on the table, Lin Xiaoxiao smelled a strong bean fragrance.
"It's so fragrant, what kind of porridge is this, how... Smelly of soy milk? Lin Xiaoxiao asked Fang Yu suspiciously.
Fang Yu smiled heartily: "Your nose is still so smart, that's right, this is my special soybean milk glutinous rice and red date porridge." ”
Fang Yu's words reminded Lin Xiaoxiao of the night she met for the first time, and she also found this small building by smelling it, thinking of this, Lin Xiaoxiao's heart warmed.
"Taste it, see if it suits your appetite" Fang Yu handed over a spoonful.
"Porridge made with soy milk?" Lin Xiaoxiao curiously stirred the porridge in front of her with a spoon, small pieces of red dates and crystal glutinous rice were loaded and floated in the snow-white soybean milk.
Girls who study design are more or less literary, and Lin Xiaoxiao was conquered by the appearance of this porridge at once.
"This porridge is so beautiful, it's like a painting. If there is no heat, it will really be a bit of a mood of treading the snow and looking for plums. ”
"'Treading the snow to find plum blossoms'?" When Fang Yu heard Lin Xiaoxiao say this, he suddenly moved, "This name is good, the ingredients of this porridge can indeed be chilled and eaten as a dessert." ”
Lin Xiaoxiao smiled happily: "Great, then there is one more delicacy on the menu of our small shop." ”
"Yes, Xiaoxiao, I thought it would be too monotonous to only have noodles in our store, but now it's okay." Fang Yu excitedly stood up and took two steps, and turned around to look at Lin Xiaoxiao.
Lin Xiaoxiao's big eyes with a bit of two-dimensional wind made Fang Yu feel that he was cute all of a sudden. He pretended to cough a few times, "Xiaoxiao, why don't you eat it, no matter how beautiful the food is, it has to be eaten to be valuable, so eat it while it's hot." ”
Lin Xiaoxiao responded, lowered her head and scooped up a spoon of porridge, blew it, and tasted it very delicately. The sticky and soft glutinous rice grains flow into the mouth with the soy milk, and soon melt between the teeth and turn into a thick soup. This soup has the aroma of soy milk, but the taste combines the richness of glutinous rice with extra sweetness.
Lin Xiaoxiao swallowed this porridge, and a stream of heat went all the way down her mouth, awakening the cells of her whole body with warmth, and expelling some of the moisture from her sweat pores, making her almost moan comfortably.
"It's delicious, it's delicious." Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but scoop up another spoonful and put it in her mouth. There were just a few small pieces of red dates in this spoonful, and Lin Xiaoxiao felt that the thick syrup in her mouth had more sweetness of the red dates between chewing, and it was more sweet and palatable.
"Slow down, slow down, don't get hot." Fang Yu saw Lin Xiaoxiao eating faster and faster, and he felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart. This is the first time that I didn't rely on the saucepan, and I conceived the ingredients and seasoning by myself, and I was actually a little unsure in my heart, but now I really put my mind at ease and became confident.
It didn't take long for Lin Xiaoxiao to drink a big bowl of porridge. She couldn't finish putting down the bowl only to find that Fang Yu was looking at her, and she couldn't help but blush.
"Xiaoxiao, how is it, do you think this porridge of mine is to your appetite?"
Lin Xiaoxiao nodded vigorously as if she was afraid that Fang Yu wouldn't see it, "Brother Fang, this porridge is so delicious, it's the first time I've drunk porridge cooked with soy milk, I didn't expect it to be so delicious." How did you come up with this recipe? ”
Fang Yu touched his nose proudly, "It's thanks to you." ”
"Thanks to me?" Lin Xiaoxiao was a little overwhelmed.
"That's right, thanks to you. In the past few days, I have seen that your face is not very good every day, and you seem very tired. I just thought I'd make something special for you. I see that you seem to be a little weak, and I have always heard you say that you don't sleep well. So I thought of making something with a few gentle and nourishing ingredients for you. ”
Fang Yu took a sip of soy milk glutinous rice porridge to moisten his throat, and continued: "Needless to say, red dates, the legendary red-faced partner. Cooking porridge with soy milk is actually not an invention, I used to drink a drink mixed with soy milk and rice milk when I was studying in Wuyang City, and I thought it tasted good.
Moreover, soy milk is moisturizing and dry, and it is also a well-known goddess culture liquid. Of course, we Xiaoxiao are already goddesses, and the beauty effect may be in vain, but it can also increase heart vitality and optimize blood circulation, and long-term eating is still quite good for the body. ”
Lin Xiaoxiao heard Fang Yu's words with some hints of ridicule, her face turned red again, and she protested in a low voice, "Brother Fang, you are making fun of me again." ”
Fang Yu likes to tease Lin Xiaoxiao, blushing when he teases, which is very funny.
After laughing for a while, Fang Yu continued: "The glutinous rice in here was steamed by me and then added. Glutinous rice is also a good thing to nourish the qi, strengthen the spleen and stomach, and then add it to avoid the soybean milk from being boiled for too long, the loss of nutrients, and the taste of glutinous rice can also be maintained.
Finally, I also added rock sugar, in addition to seasoning, rock sugar can also increase the effect of this porridge to replenish the qi and moisten the lungs, and to clean up the body's stagnant toxins. Of course, because this porridge has red dates and glutinous rice, which itself has a natural sweetness, I don't add much rock sugar, what do you think of the taste? ”
Lin Xiaoxiao replied with a smile: "I think the taste is just right, I ate a faint sweetness at the beginning, and when I bite into the red dates, I feel that the taste is so full." If it's a little sweeter, you might get a little tired after eating it. ”
Fang Yu was very proud when he heard this, and quietly said to Wei Zhen: "How is it, how many points do you give for this question today?" ”
Wei Zhen replied disdainfully: "So-so, count yourself as passing." ”
Fang Yu was a little unconvinced: "Didn't Xiaoxiao say that it was very delicious, it was just the right taste, at least give eighty points." ”
Wei Zhen chuckled: "Even if you make it into a dark dish, I guess Lin Xiaoxiao will say yes, not to mention that this porridge is designed for Lin Xiaoxiao's physical condition, and of course she feels very good when she drinks it." But then again, the recipe you first conceived was generally good, and the ingredients were acceptable, but unfortunately the process was still flawed. ”
