Text Chapter 157 Wine Brewing Balls
Because he had to take care of Jian Yining, in the past few days, Lin Xiaoxiao rarely had the opportunity to see Lu Hongshen.
In addition to being in the company, Lu Hongshen basically spent the rest of his time in the special care ward of the central hospital, and even went back to the villa very late.
After the first night of-for-tat confrontation with Jian Yining, Lin Xiaoxiao waited until it was close to the early hours of the morning before Lu Hongshen came back.
There have been too many things in the past few days, and Lin Xiaoxiao can't sleep at all.
She was tossing and turning in bed thinking about things when she suddenly heard the sound of a sports car - it was Lu Hongshen who came back.
The already loose sleepiness was even more absent after Lu Hongshen came, Lin Xiaoxiao got up, put on a coat and walked downstairs after sleeping. When she just walked down the stairs, Lu Hongshen also happened to open the door.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Lin Xiaoxiao raised his head and happened to meet Lu Hongshen's line of sight. The moment their eyes met, Lu Hongshen's expression remained unchanged, and he nodded slightly at Lin Xiaoxiao.
For some reason, just this simple action couldn't be simpler, but it still made Lin Xiaoxiao feel a slight touch on the tip of his heart.
She nodded slightly in accordance with Lu Hongshen's movements, and walked towards Lu Hongshen.
In a dark and silent night like this, there is always something to say to ease the embarrassment.
"That...... Is it going well today. Do you want to eat a little supper......" Not daring to look directly into Lu Hongshen's eyes, Lin Xiaoxiao lowered his head and asked.
In fact, Lu Hongshen has no habit of eating supper at all, and even he often forgets his usual three meals a day because of work. Today, as soon as he finished his work, he went to take care of Jian Yining, but there were still a lot of documents waiting to be processed.
This was supposed to be the time when he returned to his office to work on the papers. Faced with Lin Xiaoxiao's request, Lu Hongshen nodded in a ghostly manner.
"Okay."
After hearing Lu Hongshen's affirmative answer, Lin Xiaoxiao's heart seemed to have another fireworks that suddenly rose into the air.
In the past, when Lin Xiaoxiao's father was still alive, Lin Xiaoxiao would often make supper for his father after work, so for Lin Xiaoxiao, making supper is still very experienced for her.
Tonight, Lin Xiaoxiao is going to make wine-stuffed balls for Lu Hongshen.
Sake dumplings, also known as mash rice balls, used to be a delicacy that could only be eaten during the New Year's holidays. Now that time has passed, it has also entered the homes of ordinary people.
Compared with the method of making balls with wine, its ingredients are still very simple. To make a bowl of wine-stuffed balls, all you need is a packet of mash powder, a little glutinous rice, an egg and a few wolfberries.
Lin Xiaoxiao now pours the glutinous rice flour into a bowl for later use, and then adds a little warm water to the bowl, and after several blends, the glutinous rice flour and warm water are perfectly blended.
If you want to make delicious sake dumplings, the taste will only be delicious if it is strong. This requires Lin Xiaoxiao to be extremely strong in kneading the dough, and only with the right strength can he make wine-stuffed balls with strong taste.
Wearing thin pajamas and only a thin coat on the outside, Lin Xiaoxiao kneaded his dough very seriously. She is not only so serious because she makes supper for Lu Hongshen, cooking is her favorite job, no matter when and where, her attitude is still the same.
After kneading the dough, Lin Xiaoxiao inserted holes in the dough with his fingers several times, and the holes in the dough disappeared soon after they appeared, which can be regarded as really kneading the dough.
After kneading the noodles, Lin Xiaoxiao poured drinking water into the pot again. After the water boiled again, Lin Xiaoxiao pinched the dough in his hand, squeezed out one regular spherical dough after another and poured it into the pot.
After the round balls were tumbling in the pot, Lin Xiaoxiao waited until the balls began to float on the surface of the water to turn the heat to medium, and then added the mash to the pot.
As soon as the mash is put into the pot, the rich aroma immediately comes to the nose. Taking advantage of the strong aroma, Lin Xiaoxiao added a small handful of wolfberries to the pot.
After the wolfberries were almost cooked in the pot, Lin Xiaoxiao beat another egg into the bowl. She crumpled the eggs, turned off the heat and turned them on again, putting the golden brown egg mixture in it.
The small white balls, tumbling together with the golden egg wash and goji berries, look very pleasing to the eye. After boiling for a few minutes, seeing that the heat was ready, Lin Xiaoxiao turned off the heat and put out the wine-stuffed balls.
The freshly made sake dumplings have a fragrant aroma and a hint of heat coming out of the top of the bowl, which makes people have an appetite.
After Lin Xiaoxiao served a bowl for Lu Hongshen, he was just about to walk out of the kitchen and turned back to serve a bowl for himself. In fact, she has always eaten very little at night, and she has no habit of eating supper.
It's just that......
Maybe it's because she hasn't eaten sake-stuffed dumplings for too long, or maybe she misses the taste too much, and she always feels that this dinner is only enjoyable after eating.
When Lin Xiaoxiao brought the two bowls of wine-stuffed balls to the dining table, he looked up and found that Lu Hongshen was still looking down and sorting out the documents.
Lu Hongshen is a workaholic, always working all the time. No matter what time it is, as long as he wants to, he can always squeeze in time to work.
As usual, even within ten minutes of waiting for supper, he still chose to handle the documents rigorously.
Because the lighting was not good at night, Lu Hongshen rarely wore gold-wire glasses. The light refracted through Lu Hongshen's glasses frame, and a soft halo refracted out. Lin Xiaoxiao just glanced at it, and his heartbeat accelerated inexplicably.
This feeling has not appeared for a long time, but how could Lin Xiaoxiao not know, this is clearly the feeling of heartbeat.
She was deeply moved by Lu Hong. How ridiculous it sounds. It's just this joke, but Lin Xiaoxiao himself can't laugh at all.
Just as Lin Xiaoxiao was in a trance, Lu Hongshen raised his head from a pile of documents.
He didn't seem to feel what Lin Xiaoxiao was thinking at all, and his attitude was still the same as usual: "Is it done, is it wine-brewed balls?" ”
"Hmm...... Try it, it won't taste good when it's cold. Lin Xiaoxiao's voice was very low, as if to cover up something, and hurriedly put a bowl of wine-stuffed balls in front of Lu Hongshen.
The mellow aroma of wine wafted out of the bowl, and after Lu Hongshen stirred it with a spoon, he put a ball in his mouth. The freshly brewed balls are still warm and chewy in the mouth.
After Lu Hongshen took a bite, he couldn't wait to take a bite again. can make him eat supper so seriously, only Lin Xiaoxiao's craftsmanship.
Seeing that Lu Hongshen was eating happily, Lin Xiaoxiao's face also smiled.
She took a sip of the still steaming mash soup, and suddenly felt a warm current slide down her mouth and iron it into her stomach. In the silence of the night, it is a rare happiness to be able to drink a bowl of warm soup.
Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at Lu Hongshen inadvertently, and then ate a small ball. The worries of the whole day seem to be able to be put down now, and in this small space, there are only her and him.
