Wu Yazhen, who had taken several big mouthfuls with a spoon, blinked and looked at Guan Lang, who was staring at the porridge in the bowl with a complicated expression, as if he was thinking about something.
"This porridge is not up to par." Guan Lang was thinking in his mind about how to make this whole grain porridge delicious.
"Unqualified? No, it doesn't have a strange smell. It's quite delicious." Wu Yazhen tasted another full spoonful, raised her head and said.
The cooked porridge is soft and sweet, and the cooking temperature is just right. It is neither pulpy due to overcooking nor hardy due to undercooking.
Why is it said to be unqualified? It is obviously quite delicious.
"I want to do better." If there are no system tasks, Guan Lang naturally feels that there is nothing wrong with this pot of whole grain porridge, but porridge that cannot complete the tasks is not good porridge, so it needs to be improved.
Wu Yazhen nodded, feeling very emotional in her heart. No wonder her cousin's cooking skills are so good. With such a spirit of continuous learning and hard work, why worry about not being good at cooking?
"Well, cousin, come on." Her cooking skills were not even as good as Guan Lang's, so naturally she couldn't give him any advice, so she could only verbally support and encourage him.
She will be a fresh graduate of the college entrance examination after this semester.
Tiannan No. 1 Middle School adopts the clumsiest and most effective question-based tactic for students. There is basically one test every day, and the homework assigned in the evening is also a variety of test papers. Sometimes the school will also hand over the test papers from Hengshui.
They do.
Therefore, if she wants to have her own independent review time at night, she must take time to write part of her homework during the day.
Although her current grades are enough to be admitted to the Tiannan University of her choice, she is not satisfied with this. Who knows whether she can maintain a stable state, so it is best to improve her ranking to the top twenty in the entire grade.
It is safe, and you will have more majors to choose from if you enter Tiannan University.
Because she has a role model from Tiannan University at home, she also wants to get into Tiannan University's top majors such as architecture and computer science.
Guan Lang did not disturb his cousin's study. He was studying how to make whole grain porridge alone.
There is still enough material left for him to make a few times.
It's useless to think alone. Guan Lang took out his mobile phone to search and copied the ingredients of several common whole grain porridges into his notebook.
Coarse grains include: corn, wheat, oats, sorghum, sweet potatoes and various beans.
Because the processing of coarse grains is simple, compared with those highly processed refined white rice and refined white noodles, it retains many nutrients that are not found in fine grains, and is rich in starch, cellulose, inorganic salts, and B vitamins.
Of course, the taste of whole grains is not comparable to that of highly processed rice and white noodles, so how to make delicious whole grains through seasoning and cooking is also a problem.
Moreover, Guan Lang didn't know the system's rating criteria, whether whole grain porridge with high nutritional value was rated higher, or whether it was based on taste and texture, or whether it was neither, and it was based on other aspects.
Guan Lang needs a lot of trials to figure out what kind of whole grain porridge can get a high rating.
When Wu Yazhen went to school in the afternoon, Guan Lang began to prepare research on whole grain porridge.
Different from the whole grain porridge he made in the morning, he changed some different ingredients to cook it in the afternoon.
Not much was used, so he was going to try making a pot of Laba porridge first.
This time he didn't cut corners, there were many necessary steps in the process, including pearl rice, barley, black rice, ginkgo, longan, mung beans, pinto beans, etc., plus candied fruits, and the cooked food was fragrant and fragrant, even for those who had just eaten.
He couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
The cooking utensils were not stewed in one pot with a rice cooker, but slowly simmered in a casserole, while he carefully watched the heat.
After cooking, turn off the heat.
First, I poured two bowls for myself and drank it. The prepared porridge was soft, glutinous and sweet in the mouth. When chewing various ingredients, there was a light natural sweetness of grains in my mouth.
As expected of the porridge that he cooked carefully, it tastes good. Guan Lang sighed with emotion.
Unfortunately, when I look at the system panel, it's still not an excellent rating, but a good rating.
Although it is obviously a big improvement compared to the normal one at noon, it is still not enough. It is not enough for him to be satisfied. Only when the system is satisfied will there be a task reward.
Guan Lang put down his bowl and chopsticks and sighed.
What exactly is the problem?
In which direction should we strive to adjust the gap between good and excellent?
He must have controlled the heat and seasoning of the porridge very well, and he also paid attention to the special techniques in the recipe.
Does the system need him to innovate and figure out new methods?
While Guan Lang was thinking, there seemed to be a few more small bodies lying outside the gate.
It turned out that the two little girls next door were attracted by the fragrance of Laba porridge cooking in the yard. They were playing nearby, but the fragrance was too tempting, so they followed the fragrance.
Guan Lang saw the two of them and thought that since the porridge was already cooked, he might as well invite someone to eat it. The two children were both neighbors' children and were not considered strangers.
With this in mind, he waved to the two little girls outside the door and motioned for them to come in.
They saw the good-looking big brother's gesture and plucked up the courage to walk in.
They played here all afternoon yesterday and are no strangers to the yard.
The five-year-old sister pulled her timid sister across the threshold, accompanied by a big native dog behind them.
The dog followed the two children like a bodyguard, sticking out its tongue in a silly manner.
Seeing Guan Lang, a strange adult man, his eyes became wary and he roared fiercely at him several times. He was patted twice by his little master before he stopped.
Guan Lang smiled when he saw this.
This dog is really rude. How could he want to turn against the guests and dare to be so arrogant in his house?
There was still some Laba porridge left in the pot, but Guan Lang didn't dare to serve them too much because they were young.
Each gave them a small bowl.
"Didn't sister and mother say you can't eat food given by others?" The younger sister seemed a little wary. She pulled her sister far away and whispered in her ear.
But she didn't know that her cautious words were clearly heard by Guan Lang, who had extraordinary hearing.
Such a young child has a sense of vigilance. Guan Lang couldn't help but think of his six-year-old sister. It would be great if she could be so clever.
"It's okay, big brother is not a stranger, he is our neighbor, and we have dogs following us."
"But mom will tell us if she finds out."
The two children discussed it from a distance, and finally seemed to reach an agreement, and they jumped to Guan Lang.
She said sweetly: "Thank you, brother."
The big dog seemed to want to eat too, lying under the pavilion and staring at the porridge in the bowl.
However, Guan Lang was not so generous as to give it a portion. The dog worked very hard when he roared at him just now. Now it is too late to shout that it is really delicious.
