Chapter 276 This is High Enough
When Su Jinjin was halfway through making grape smoothie, Cheng Guyu, who had just finished her online class, ran over to watch her.
Standing on tiptoe and looking at the things simmering in the milk pot, Cheng Guyu pursed his lips and asked Su Jinjin: "What are you doing?"
Su Jinjin turned around to look at him, and seeing his greedy look, she smiled and said, "I'm making grape smoothie."
"tasty?"
"You'll know after you drink it."
After saying that, Su Jinjin turned back to look at the milk pot where grapes, milk and jasmine tea were boiling.
Looking at the thick white liquid and the boiling bubbles rising from it, Su Jinjin turned off the fire.
Then put some ice cubes in the cup and pour the boiled grape smoothie into it.
The freshly made grape smoothie is very hot. When you pour it into a cup with ice cubes, the ice cubes melt immediately, but the temperature also drops and it becomes cool.
It would taste better if it was cooled down a bit and ice cubes were added, but Cheng Guyu was staring at it eagerly, so Su Jinjin just gave it to him to drink.
"Come, have a try." Su Jinjin handed the prepared grape shaved ice to Cheng Guyu.
Cheng Guyu took a sip, and then his eyes sparkled: "Delicious!"
He likes grapes, and using grapes to make milk tea really appeals to him.
Seeing that he liked it, Su Jinjin was very happy.
Every time Su Jinjin sees Cheng Guyu enjoying the food she cooks, she feels very happy, which makes her more motivated to delve into more delicious food.
Su Jinjin also poured herself a glass of grape smoothie and left the rest in the milk pan.
Because the temperature is still hot, it is not suitable to be placed in the refrigerator.
After drinking the grape smoothie, Su Jinjin began to prepare dinner.
As usual, Cheng Guyu said he would help her.
Su Jinjin asked him to peel the garlic, gave him half a garlic and asked him to peel it all.
Cheng Guyu was very happy to be able to help. He held the garlic given by Su Jinjin and happily went to the trash can.
Su Jinjin looked at him, smiled, and then got busy with the things at hand.
Because Cheng Guyu still wants to eat egg custard, so the dish to be made tonight also contains egg custard.
In addition, there are stir-fried bacon with young bamboo shoots, stir-fried chicken thighs, and stir-fried carrots with lettuce.
Because cooking was a little late tonight, Su Jinjin had not finished cooking when Shang Fuzong came back.
Shang Fuzong squeezed into the kitchen and looked at her frying bamboo shoots and bacon in the wok. He was eager to try his hand at it.
Seeing that he wanted to try cooking so much, Su Jinjin gave up her seat and guided him from the side.
Cheng Guyu looked at it and thought, he also wanted Su Jinjin to teach him how to cook!
Then he squeezed through, making the kitchen, which was already extremely crowded with two people standing there, even more crowded.
"I want to cook too." Cheng Guyu pulled Su Jinjin's clothes.
Shang Fuzong and Su Jinjin turned around and looked at him together.
Su Jinjin bent down and touched his head: "You are still too young to reach the pot on the stove. When you grow up a little, I will let you cook."
After hearing this, Cheng Guyu ran away.
Su Jinjin saw him running out and thought he had given up.
Unexpectedly, a few seconds later, Cheng Guyu brought a small stool. He placed the stool in front of Su Jinjin and stood on it: "This is high enough."
Su Jinjin was amused by him.
Seeing this, Su Jinjin realized that this little guy really wanted to cook, but he was too young and it was a bit dangerous to let him do it.
Su Jinjin thought for a moment and said to him, "It's too dangerous for you to cook over a fire. You can't do it now. How about I make beef and bamboo shoot dumplings with you during the live broadcast tonight?"
"Live broadcast of making dumplings tonight?"
"Yes, we have another live broadcast tonight. We will make dumplings for the live broadcast. Like before, we can make more and freeze them in the refrigerator. We can take them out and cook them later when we want to eat them."
Now, Cheng Guyu didn’t want to cook anymore, and started thinking about making dumplings live in the evening.
Although he doesn't know how to knead dough, he likes to wrap things with dough.
Seeing that she had persuaded him, Su Jinjin asked him to go to the living room first and not stand in the kitchen.
He is too small and I’m afraid I might accidentally bump into him.
Moreover, even though the range hood is on in the kitchen, there is still a strong smell of oil smoke when cooking, which will choke people.
Cheng Guyu was thinking about the live broadcast in the evening. Su Jinjin asked him to go to the living room first, so he went.
Seeing Cheng Guyu running out of the kitchen, Su Jinjin turned back to watch Shang Fuzong cooking.
Shang Fuzong saw her turn around and asked her, "Is the food in the pot cooked? Take a look."
Shang Fuzong couldn't quite tell whether the food in the pot was cooked or not. He wanted to ask when Su Jinjin was talking to Cheng Guyu just now, but seeing that Su Jinjin was slowly persuading Cheng Guyu, he didn't ask and wanted to wait until they finished talking before asking.
After listening to Shang Fuzong's words, Su Jinjin turned her gaze to the pot, watching the bacon slices sizzling with oil, the tender bamboo shoots wilted on the bacon slices, and the few chili peppers that were added in were also fried until slightly charred. It was obvious that the food was well-seasoned and done.
"It's ready." Su Jinjin said, "This dish can be served now."
"Okay." After hearing her words, Shang Fuzong immediately turned off the fire.
After making this dish, stir-fry carrots and lettuce, and tonight’s dinner is ready.
Stir-fried carrots and lettuce cooks quickly, in just four or five minutes.
Su Jinjin instructed Shang Fuzong to sauté the minced garlic first, and then add the chopped carrots and lettuce and stir-fry.
Seeing Shang Fuzong stir-frying the dishes in the pot skillfully, Su Jinjin brought the other prepared dishes to the table first.
After serving the three dishes, Su Jinjin went back into the kitchen and asked Shang Fuzong to add soy sauce, vinegar and salt to the stir-fried carrots and lettuce.
Stir-fry these seasonings evenly and you can serve.
Then, Shang Fuzong brought the last dish, and Su Jinjin served the rice with heat-insulating gloves.
Once all the dishes are served and the rice is laid out, you can start eating.
Today's dishes are all very simple in style, but Cheng Guyu also enjoys them very much.
He mixed two large bowls of rice with the egg custard.
After the meal, I drank a glass of grape smoothie and then lay comfortably on the sofa to digest the food.
Shang Fuzong also drank a glass of grape smoothie. After trying the drinks made by Su Jinjin, he felt that it was nice to drink something sweet occasionally, instead of just thinking of coffee when talking about drinks like before.
After Shang Fuzong left, Su Jinjin looked at the time. There was still about an hour before the live broadcast started at 8 o'clock in the evening.
She and Cheng Guyu sat on the sofa and watched TV, intending to kill time with TV.
However, after turning on the TV, I couldn't find any good programs after flipping through them, so I just randomly clicked on a variety show that specializes in promoting dramas and artists.
Su Jinjin has some impression of this variety show in her memory.
