Wei Tianxing held the washed sea stone flowers in his hands, as carefully as he was caring for a baby.
"I've been smashing it for an hour. Xiaoyou Lin, do you think this is okay?"
Lin Chou twisted it, and the clump of sea stone flowers faded from the grayish-yellow color, becoming somewhat translucent and smooth to the touch, and no longer had the sluggish feeling.
"Okay, perfect."
Wei Tianxing scratched his head, smiled loudly, and said gratefully.
Shanye Bai Qiongshou and Shen Feng, who were watching from the outside, looked like alpacas galloping on their horses.
After all, you are also a fifth-level strong man with a great reputation in the base city... You look like a primary school student who has been praised, isn't it good?
After washing a large basket of dishes, Chi couldn't bear the sight of several men being sticky in the kitchen, so he turned around and went outside to let some wind.
Lin Chou took a pan and heated it over low heat, quickly stir-fry the sea stone flowers a few times, then added half a spoonful of vinegar, stir-fry for another 30 seconds, poured it into a gauze bag and tied it tightly.
Take a casserole, add water, put the residue bag into it, add two-thirds of the water, and cook over medium-low heat.
Lin Chou looked at the time and said, "It still needs to be cooked for about an hour."
Wei Tianxing said a little uneasily, "Is this okay? After I ate it, a large piece of my intestines was cut off... This..."
Lin Chou said with a smile, "The sea stone flower is originally poisonous, but a little vinegar can neutralize its toxin. It's very easy."
Wei Tianxing chattered, chefs and foodies are indeed two different creatures in nature, and he suddenly felt that his stabbing was in vain.
The juice produced by boiling sea stone flowers has a dark and turbid feeling. After boiling for an hour, pour out all the juice, then add half the amount of water and continue to cook for another hour and a half. Then pour the two pots of juice into a container and stir.
"What does it mean?"
"What I want to make is sea stone flower jelly. The first pot of stone flower jelly tastes too crispy and tough, and the second pot is too soft and greasy. Mixing the juices from the two pots together makes the sea stone flower jelly taste just right."
Shanye asked curiously, "frozen? Where is frozen?"
"..."
It's cold again.
"..."
My heart is frozen.
Lin Chou filtered a basin of juice through fine gauze several times before putting it in the refrigerator to chill.
After thirty minutes, take out the solidified coconut milk jelly and cool diced red bean fruit.
Take out ten medium-sized white porcelain bowls that are so thin that they are almost transparent, cut the trembling and tender coconut milk jelly into pieces, spread them on the bottom of each bowl, and sprinkle the diced red bean fruit and pulpy coconut meat on top.
After half an hour of refrigeration in the fresh-keeping cabinet, the juice from the sea stone flowers in the basin has solidified and turned into a translucent jelly. Use a knife to cut out a large piece and take it out directly with your hands.
Wei Tianxing was surprised, "Is the ice so strong?"
Lin Chou nodded, "It's tougher than other jelly, do you want to give it a try by squeezing it?"
Wei Tianxing waved his hands repeatedly and said seriously, "My hands are not the hands of a chef. The dishes are recognized by others. If someone else's hands touch them, the dishes will lose their temper and the taste will be completely changed."
Huang Dashan sneered, and just as he was about to spray, he swallowed it back.
Bai Qiongshou and Shen Feng laughed, "Aren't you invincible in the world with your fucking words? Why don't you spray Wei Tianxing into a sieve?"
Use a grater to evenly rub the sea stone jelly into the bowl. Finally, pry open the two ice coconuts and pour the fresh coconut milk evenly into the bowl, just enough to fill ten bowls.
I went to the stone well in the backyard and picked a few mint leaves, washed them, and put them into the coconut milk jelly to enhance the flavor. As soon as I turned around, four people were drinking from a big bowl each.
"Oooh, oooh, it's so damn delicious, so sweet!"
"It's sweet to the core of my heart."
"It's cool. It's so refreshing to have a bowl on a hot day..."
Lin Chou felt inexplicably lonely and cold, so he counted six mint leaves and prepared to put them in a bowl, "Huh? Why are there only three bowls left??"
Huang Dashan drank the last mouthful of sea stone flower jelly, licked his lips and pointed to the door, "Sir Gungun is back, one bowl is floating away, and the other two bowls...should be in the hands of the landlady, right?"
"..."
Throwing away three mint leaves again, Lin Chou took a bowl and garnished it with leaves.
"Lin'er, um, hehehe, can I have another bowl?"
Lin Chou was too lazy to pay attention to him, but Wei Tianxing jumped out in a furious tone, "Hey, you dare to rob me of my food, don't you want to live anymore?"
Master Shan instantly transformed into a cute and cute little kitten, and silently went to the corner to spit by himself.
Lin Chou's attention was focused on the bowl of sea stone flower coconut jelly in his hand. The pink pulp and crystal clear sea stone flower jelly filaments were soaked in the crystal white coconut milk, and the coconut milk jelly floated unwillingly.
Although they are both white, they show completely different tones under the light, and the jelly diffuses soft light like jade.
A thin layer of cold air rises from the white porcelain bowl, overflows into the bowl, and flows down along the bowl like a waterfall, bringing a refreshing fragrance, with the mint flavor lightly covering it, adding a bit of coolness.
The aroma of glutinous rice and golden coconut is very light, so light that a small mint leaf can cover it up. Pick up a spoonful of sea stone flower coconut custard and put it into your mouth. The aroma of milk, coconut, and mint explodes instantly, flooding your limbs.
Gently licking the tip of your tongue, you first come into contact with the slightly brittle and tough texture of the sea stone flower jelly filaments. Each strand is like a slender bomb. You can feel the slightest cracking sound with your upper palate, and then it immediately melts without any traces.
There is no trace, as if it has turned into the roaring sea breeze above the ancient ice ocean. The breath of the sea and the unexpected chill hit your heart directly.
The temperature outside was over 30 degrees Celsius, extremely hot and muggy, but Lin Chou felt as comfortable as if she were at the cold storage door.
"It's so cool!"
The glutinous rice golden coconut has a light, sweet and tender texture like glutinous rice. The coconut milk, coconut meat and coconut milk jelly blend with each other, just like the same bottle of wonderful wine. The awakened and unawakened touches, every time they meet, it is...
The attachment of soul and body to each other.
Gently hold the mouthful of tender sea stone flower coconut custard in your mouth until it gradually becomes warm in your mouth before you swallow it, but there are still a few fragrant red bean dices left in your mouth. Bite it gently and your mouth will be filled with it.
It's clear and the flavor picks up immediately.
When you take another bite of sea stone coconut custard, you feel like you are a new soul full of desire and disbelief.
The bowl of sea stone and coconut milk jelly disappeared in an instant, leaving Lin Chou feeling as if he had lost it.
It seems that I have tasted all the delicious food in the world, but my memory is empty, and I can't even remember the taste.
Wei Tianxing stared blankly at the two remaining bowls of sea stone coconut custard.
"Why... obviously... the taste is clearly engraved deeply into my bones, but it is completely indescribable, and I can't even remember it... Is this food, or..."
