Heavenly Gourmet

8. Mother’s Secret

After preparing the cooking oil to fry the prawns and musu meat, Lin Hai took a look at the prawns soaking in water in the silver steel basin.

One by one, they were expertly cut off their clippers, beards and feet, washed and dried.

Everything fell into place, as if the steps were engraved in his mind.

Lift the pot, add peanut oil, and the aroma of hot oil immediately spreads in the kitchen.

Lin Xin sat on the sofa, smelling the refreshing fragrance, and nodded with satisfaction.

When the oil in the pot reached eighty-mature, Lin Hai picked up the steel basin and quickly poured the prepared shrimp into the pot.

snort~

The river shrimp and peanut oil collided in the pot, and a puff of white smoke instantly rose up.

The river shrimp quickly turned red under the high-temperature frying, like rubies, settling in the pot, carrying a refreshing aroma.

However, Lin Hai had no time to admire the river shrimps. He kept stirring them with a large colander.

Quick fry for five seconds.

Lin Hai suddenly picked up the shrimp and drained the oil from the river shrimp. Everything was like flowing water, as if cooking had become an art in his hands.

When cooking fried prawns, the process of frying the prawns in oil should not be too long. This can easily cause the prawns to lose their unique nutrients at high temperatures. This is what Lin Xin taught him.

Lin Hai put the river shrimps into a pure white bone china plate and poured out the frying oil. All the ingredients on the side had been prepared in advance. When the red-fried river shrimps returned to the wok——

Lin Hai swept the spoon and threw the scallions on the side into the pot, followed by cooking wine, sugar, and soy sauce.

The temperature of the stove fire suddenly increased. Lin Hai tipped the pot, sprinkled a little vinegar, and neatly placed the cooked river shrimp on the plate.

Braised prawns, done!

Each shrimp is shiny and red, and carries the aroma of various spices, making the whole kitchen seem to come alive.

Lin Hai gently sniffed the aroma of the braised prawns in oil, nodded with satisfaction, and then started cooking Mushu meat again.

Mushu meat is not very difficult, so Lin Hai only took about ten minutes to fry it.

This dish is different from the bright fried prawns. Lin uses five ingredients: pork slices, fungus, eggs, cucumber slices, and day lily. The color of each ingredient is quite elegant, but it is very appetizing.

"Mom, the food is ready. It's time to eat."

Lin Hai opened the rice cooker, scooped out two bowls of rice, and placed the dishes and rice on the square table in the living room.

Since the house they rented was not big, Lin Hai and Lin Xin used the living room as a dining room for meals.

"Your dishes are looking better and better."

Lin Xin stood up from the sofa, took a look at the two delicacies cooked by Lin Hai, smelled them gently, smiled and nodded in praise.

"Mom, try it."

Lin Hai brought out a wooden stool for Lin Xin and said with a smile.

He was very willing to listen to Lin Xin's words.

Because when he was still young, he accidentally saw Lin Xin winning many awards in food competitions.

Without exception, all are first prizes!

And the weight is extremely heavy.

However, she hid all those awards in a cabinet.

No matter how much he asked, his mother just refused to say why she gave up these awards and came here to open a restaurant.

As time passed, Lin Hai stopped asking, but this question still puzzled him.

The two sat across the table, and the orange light filled the living room. Although the room was not big, it was quite warm.

"Mom, I still don't understand. You had so many food awards and even an appointment letter from a five-star hotel, but why did you give up?"

Lin Hai took a mouthful of rice and asked while eating.

Lin Xin's hand holding the chopsticks suddenly stopped, and her face looked a little unnatural.

However, this unnaturalness only lasted for a moment, and then she took it back. She picked up a shrimp with her chopsticks, peeled the shell and put it in Lin Hai's bowl, then peeled another shrimp for herself, and gently Put it gently into your mouth.

She tasted it carefully, looked at Lin Hai, and seemed to change the subject on purpose:

"The fried prawns you cooked are quite good. They are tender and smooth in the mouth, with some sweet and sour, salty and fragrant taste. It seems that you have listened to the cooking methods that your mother taught you. .”

Seeing that Lin Xin didn't say anything, Lin Hai wanted to ask more questions, but after thinking about it carefully, he gave up.

No matter what happened in the past, at least living well now is enough.

Moreover, after this mobile phone incident, he is also confident that he and his mother can live a better life.

However, while Lin Hai was thinking, Lin Xin raised her head and looked at Lin Hai very seriously and said:

"Mom has always wanted to open a restaurant of her own, but she is old and her energy cannot keep up, and there are still some..."

Speaking of this, Lin Xin hesitated for a moment, then smiled kindly and said to Lin Hai:

"You also like cooking, and you have even learned how to cook many of my dishes, so I will leave this restaurant to you from now on. You must carry forward our restaurant."

Seeing this, Lin Hai nodded thoughtfully, gave Lin Xin a braised prawn, and vowed:

"Mom, don't worry, I will definitely carry forward our Baiwei Kitchen!"

"Okay, Mom will be relieved with your words."

Lin Xin's face that had been eroded by time showed a smile, as if she had seen the prosperous scene of her own restaurant.

She didn't know why, but she always felt that her son could do it.

It can be done.

After the two of them finished eating, Lin Hai wanted to wash the dishes, but Lin Xin refused: v Let me do it, you have been busy all day, take a good rest in the afternoon. "

Lin Haigang wanted to say that Baiwei Kitchen only had one customer at noon, but he didn't want to dishearten his mother. He sighed in his heart and pretended to smile:

"Yeah, the crowds were so busy at noon today that I'm exhausted. Mom, I'll go back to my room to rest first."

With that said, Lin Hai turned the door handle of the second bedroom and entered the room.

Lin Hai's room was very simple, with only a single bed measuring 1.2 meters long and 1.8 meters wide, a wooden desk with peeling paint, and a wardrobe.

Because it was summer, the room was extremely dull. Lin Hai opened the window, then turned around and jumped, lying on the bed like a big Chinese character.

Lin Hai stared at the incandescent lamp on the ceiling and rubbed his chin with his left hand, seeming to be thinking about how to make Baiwei Kitchen bigger and stronger.

Now I already have a very powerful mobile phone. This mobile phone can not only make takeaways and delicious food for the gods in heaven, but also get the currency of heaven to buy all kinds of weird ingredients and RMB in the WeChat wallet.

He even learned the recipe for gourmet food.

As long as you practice hard, no one in Sihai City, let alone the entire Chinese food industry, can beat him.
