Chapter 610 Missing Home

Everyone was shocked.

Especially the head chef.

He had long heard that in the magical country of China, there were many families of chefs with magical recipes that had not been passed down to others—could this woman also have one?

The chief chef immediately explained: "Dear Miss Cheng, please forgive me, we do not want to learn your cooking recipes... We are just worried that you will not be able to cope with it alone."

"I'll call you here if I need to. Now, I need you to get out of the kitchen - and I don't like saying the same thing twice."

Everyone immediately dispersed and left.

But they didn't dare to go too far, lest Cheng Ling get into trouble and they wouldn't be able to get over in time.

Cheng Ling breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally I can have some peace and quiet.

Cheng Ling gave up cooking fancy meals. She believed that Jiang Qilan would prefer to eat simple home-cooked meals at the moment. Moreover, cooking home-cooked meals would not arouse others' suspicion.

She looked through the ingredients bought by the butler in the refrigerator and concluded that the butler was indeed attentive.

Cheng Ling tied up her hair, washed her hands, and started making the first breakfast: egg-filled pancakes.

Knead the dough, leave part of it for steaming the buns, and roll the other part into a thin round cake;

Brush a layer of peanut oil on the surface of the thin round cake, sprinkle with chopped green onion, five-spice powder, and salt, roll it up, apply oil on both ends, and press flat;

Heat the iron plate and fry the pancakes. When the pancakes are about half cooked, use a knife to make a slit in the pancakes, pour in the mixed eggs, fry them and put them on a plate——

The remaining dough is used to steam the buns. Although there is no time to rise the dough, she has a way to make the bun skins very crispy without rising the dough (the kneaded dough does not need to rise, just let it stand for 20 minutes and then steam with cold water). A pot of buttery millet porridge, boiled a few simple tea eggs, fried peanuts and cucumbers.

During this period, the head chef passed the kitchen door back and forth seven or eight times——

He was so surprised!

He originally thought that the breakfast Cheng Ling was talking about was to use toast slices with fried eggs, cheese slices and tomato slices to make a sandwich, and then soak oatmeal in milk, or mix vegetables with salad dressing——

Never would I have imagined that the breakfast she was talking about would be these magical delicacies.

The meaty aroma of steamed buns, the salty aroma of boiled tea, the burnt aroma of egg-filled cakes——

The chief chef swallowed.

Just by smelling it, you can imagine how delicious it is.

Jiang Qilan cleaned himself up, and the servant came to inform him that Miss Cheng had prepared breakfast.

As soon as he walked into the restaurant, he saw a busy table with breakfast:

Big fat meat buns with noisy texture, tea eggs with mottled patterns, egg-filled pancakes smeared with red bean paste that can be rolled with vegetables and sausages, golden fried peanuts with green cucumbers, rich soy milk - —

Seeing such a table full of breakfast, he suddenly realized that he missed home.

Very, very much.

Every Chinese who leaves his homeland, no matter what language he speaks, cannot change the reality that he has a Chinese stomach. This is also the homesickness that goes deep into the bones of every Chinese.

Jiang Qilan's stomach growled.

He wanted to pour a table full of food directly into his stomach——

But he still had to pretend that he didn't know how to eat and listened to Cheng Ling explain to him how to eat each food.

"This is called egg-filled pancake. Fill the egg into the middle of the pancake. This is China's specialty bean paste. Spread it on the surface, then put a lettuce leaf, half of the sausage, and roll it up-"

Cheng Ling rolled up the egg-filled pancake and handed it to Jiang Qilan.

Jiang Qilan opened his mouth and took a bite:

fragrant!

Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, the egg enhances the flavor of the cake, this is it——

Jiang Qilan tried hard to control the speed of his eating, but it was still unsatisfactory. He finished an egg-filled pancake in just three or two mouthfuls.

This time, instead of feeling relieved, I became even hungrier.

Cheng Ling handed him a steaming bun and smiled apologetically: "Because time is limited, some steps have been omitted, but the taste should still be good. This bun is called Sanding Bao in our place, and it contains three kinds of ingredients. The finished Ding——"

In the recipe Cheng Ling gave to the housekeeper, she specifically asked for pork ribs with five flowers, so she chose meat with moderate fatness and cut it into cubes; for diced chicken, she wanted a plump old hen. A lot of things went wrong; the diced bamboo shoots should be fresh, but they are not available here, so I had to use canned bamboo shoots instead.

Jiang Qilan only felt that the buns in his hands were fresh, fragrant, tender and crispy. They tasted rich and he couldn't stop eating them.

Cheng Ling peeled another tea egg for him: "This is called a tea egg. It should be brewed for another three or four hours before it can taste... If you eat it now, it still tastes a little bit worse."

Jiang Qilan said responsibly: It tastes great! Not bad at all!

The servants waiting in the restaurant widened their eyes.

——This woman must know food magic!

The eggs actually have such beautiful marble-like patterns!

Don’t know what it tastes like?

Judging from the owner's expression, it must be very delicious——
