Dare to cook

Chapter 100 Qingming Fruit

Shencheng.

Eastern Suburb Cemetery.

As the sun rose, the number of people who came to visit the grave also increased a lot.

Yao Yu paid homage to his grandfather, and brought Yao Chan to the graves of his mother and his second uncle and aunt.

The tombs of the elders of the Yao family are not far away.

Because Yao Yu's mother and second aunt passed away at about the same time, they bought their tombstones together.

After Yao Yunjian passed away last year, her ashes were also buried here, together with her second aunt.

Next door to the second uncle and the second aunt is the tombstone of Yao Yu's mother.

Wipe the dust off the tombstone.

Yao Yu stood in front of his mother's tomb for a long time, then came to his second uncle's tomb, unscrewed another bottle of liquor and poured it down.

Someone has come to sweep and pay respects to the second uncle's tomb.

There are a few small bowls in front of the tombstone, and the bowls are filled with some snacks that Yao Yunjian liked to eat during his lifetime.

As soon as Yao Yu saw these bowls, he knew that Chen Li had been here.

Chen Li rented a house in Caolu Town, which is relatively close to here, so he came here to worship first, and then rushed to work.

Yao Yu understood that Chen Li didn't come to sweep the grave with him because he didn't want to disturb him and Yao Chan at this time.

Yao Yu is not a person who likes to be sad.

No matter how strong a person is, there will always be a soft side in his heart.

Recalling the voices and smiles of the elders when I was a child, and the bits and pieces of the past, I can only bury them silently in my heart.

It's hard to tell anyone.

"Second uncle, don't worry, my sense of taste has recovered. I will take good care of Yao Chan in the future..."

In front of Yao Yunjian's tomb, Yao Yu whispered to himself.

The brother and sister stopped here to pay their respects for a long time before Yao Yu left with Yao Chan with red eyes.

Coming out of the cemetery, Yao Yu glanced at Yao Chan, who was a little depressed, and said:
"A new movie came out recently, directed by actor Zou Yu. How about I take you to the movie this afternoon?"

Yao Chan shook her head and said, "No more. I asked Mr. Zhao for half a day off today."

Yao Yu didn't force himself when he heard the words:
"That's fine, you go to Renhe Hall with me to have lunch first, and then go to school after eating."

Renhe Pavilion.

The kitchen is busy preparing dishes as usual.

When Yao Yu brought the charming Yao Chan to the restaurant, all the girls in the restaurant looked at them in amazement.

Wow!
Brother Yu brought a girl to the restaurant for the first time!

And also looks so cute.

Could it be...

After seeing Yao Yu and Yao Chan, the gossiping Zhang Xiaohan immediately came over and said, "Good morning, Brother Yu! Is this your girlfriend?"

Yao Yu laughed and said:
"It's still early, it's time for lunch! Don't think about it, this is my sister."

"Yao Chan, there is a lot of oily smoke in the back kitchen, so you can just sit outside and tell Zhang Xiaohan what you want to drink."

"Yes, yes, just tell me what you want to drink." Zhang Xiaohan took care of everything, and when Yao Yu walked into the back kitchen, she immediately gossiped: "Hey, you are really Brother Yu's younger sister. Have you ever had a girlfriend..."

Yao Yu walked into the kitchen, and Chen Li looked up at him.

Yao Yu smiled: "Xiao Chan is eating here at noon, you and Yang Rui will make two of her favorite dishes later!"

Chen Li smiled and said:

"No problem. I knew you would bring her here as soon as I guessed it. I just made some Qingming fruits. After steaming, you can take them to her to taste."

Qingming fruit is Qingtuan, a traditional snack in the Jiangnan area.

Especially in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai and Xijiang provinces, everyone basically has the habit of eating Qingming fruits on Qingming Festival.

The skin of this snack is made by mixing wormwood juice and glutinous rice flour.

A good Qingming fruit noodle skin looks clear and green after being kneaded, which will whet your appetite when you see it.

There are many ways to make Qingming fruit, which can be made sweet or salty.

In appearance, it can be kneaded into balls, or it can be made into the shape of moon cakes with molds.

However, the more common way is to wrap Qingming fruit into dumplings like dumplings, and then steam them in a steamer.

Chen Li is from Raocheng, and Raocheng people are very good at making "kueh".

What bowl cakes, round cakes, mochi cakes, rice cakes, Qingming fruit, buckwheat fruit, taro flour fruit, etc...

There is only what you can't think of, and there is nothing Raocheng people can't do.

The Qingming fruit made by Chen Li is very delicious.In the past, when Yao Yunjian was still alive, he liked to eat his Qingming fruit.

The fillings of Qingming fruit are eclectic, but most of them are vegetarian fillings. You can add some bean sprouts, shiitake mushrooms, radishes, taro, dried tofu, and winter bamboo shoots.

If you want to eat meat, you can also chop some pork and mix it in.

But it must not be based on meat.

Because the skin of Qingming fruit is made of glutinous rice flour, it is relatively "sweet and greasy". If greasy meat is added to it, it will not taste good and it will not be easy to digest.

The Qingming fruit made by Chen Li today is relatively luxurious.

In addition to the vegetarian fillings mentioned above, he also added some shredded squid and minced meat after stir-frying.

It tastes like meat and vegetables, and a big bite can bring a great sense of satisfaction to diners.

There weren't too many guests at noon today, so there was no need for Yao Yu to help stir fry the dishes.

At eleven o'clock, Chen Li and Yang Rui first cooked four dishes and one soup, and asked the waiter to deliver them to Yao Chan.

At this time, the Qingming fruit that Chen Li put in the steamer had already been steamed.

There are more than 60 Qingming fruits in a pot full.

Yao Yu only picked out six or seven, and left the rest to the restaurant staff.

When Yao Yu came out with the Qingming fruit, he saw Tang Ying and Yao Chan sitting together, talking and laughing.

What happened?
Is Boss Tang so busy today?
Yao Yu was puzzled, and walked over with something: "Come on, try this, Chen Li specially made it for you."

"Wow, I haven't eaten Qingtuan fruit for a long time." Yao Chan smiled and said to Tang Ying, "Sister Tang, you should try it too. The Qingtuan made by Chen Li is even more delicious than my brother's!"

Tang Ying brushed her hair, said with a smile: "I won't eat, I have something to do later."

As she said that, she said to Yao Yu again: "Today's meal is my treat for Yao Chan. I'm not busy at noon, so you can just sit and accompany your sister."

After speaking, Tang Ying stood up and left.

Seeing her walking away, Yao Yu sat down opposite Yao Chan and said, "What were you talking about with her just now?"

"It's nothing to talk about, let's talk nonsense." Yao Chan is weird, "I didn't expect your boss to be quite young. Brother, I think she likes you a little bit."

"Don't talk nonsense, Mr. Tang and I are normal colleagues."

"Then you can develop it." Yao Chan said with a smile, "You don't like Lao Zhao, so try to get along with Sister Tang...uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Yao Chan didn't finish her sentence,

Yao Yu directly picked up a Ching Ming fruit and stuffed it into her mouth, he said angrily:

"Eat! If you talk nonsense again and people get misunderstood, I will deduct all your pocket money for this year!"

Under Yao Yu's vicious stares and threats, Yao Chan had no choice but to shut her mouth in aggrieved manner, and obediently bowed her head to eat as a cute and pitiful child.

After lunch, Yao Chan didn't ask Yao Yu to send it to her, and went to school by herself by taking the subway.

And not long after Yao Chan left, a violent explosion suddenly came from the next door to the Renhe Pavilion.

A large piece of broken glass was splashed by the explosion and hit the glass window of Renhe Pavilion.

what happened!

Yao Yu who heard the movement stood up.

At this time, Zhang Xiaohan, who was the doorman at the entrance of the restaurant, ran in in fright and shouted: "The back kitchen of the restaurant next door is on fire! It's scary!"
