Chapter 532 Fujian Cuisine Breakfast
In the early morning, the sun shone through the curtains onto the bed, waking up Gu Chang from his deep sleep. He stretched himself, then quickly got up, washed up, and couldn't wait to go to the employee area of the tourist area.
These days, Second Aunt is concentrating on studying Fujian breakfast. For this purpose, Old Li specially sent a favorite disciple to assist her. The disciple is responsible for teaching on behalf of the master and wholeheartedly teaches Second Aunt how to make authentic Fujian breakfast.
Therefore, during this period of time, everyone can enjoy a feast. Every morning, they can taste a variety of unique Fujian classic breakfasts.
Gu Chang walked into the restaurant with a brisk pace and greeted the busy Second Aunt warmly: "Second Aunt, good morning! What delicious food can we enjoy today?"
Second Aunt raised her head, her face full of smiles, and responded: "Today's main breakfast is the classic Fujian breakfast of green bean cake and triangle cake!"
"Mung Bean Soup? What is Mung Bean Soup? Is it Mung Bean Soup?"
Gu Chang stared at the mung bean soup in the pot curiously, with a puzzled gleam in his eyes.
He reached out his hand, gently touched the edge of the pot, and felt the heat.
Second Aunt smiled and explained gently, "Compared to mung bean soup, the preparation of mung bean soup is more complicated! The reason why it is called mung bean soup is that it can be stored for a period of time, and the longer it is stored, the mellower the taste. In addition, it has a refreshing taste, so it is named mung bean soup!"
Hearing this, Gu Chang couldn't help but widen his eyes and asked with increasing curiosity: "So, what are the differences in their methods?"
Second Aunt patiently answered, "Because mung bean soup is usually made from pure mung beans, there may be some mung bean skins left at the end of the drink. Mung bean soup, on the other hand, is made from peeled mung beans, which has a more delicate and smooth taste."
"In addition, we also add ingredients such as lily and lotus seeds, so that the green bean soup is not only sweet and delicious, but also has the effect of nourishing the lungs and calming the mind."
"Especially in the hot summer, a bowl of this mung bean soup can make you feel incomparably cool and comfortable!"
At this point, the second aunt paused for a moment, and then continued, "On a hot summer day, when you drink this bowl of mung bean soup, it's as if a cool breeze flows from your throat to your heart. The sweet taste makes you intoxicated, and gives you an indescribable sense of satisfaction. Every sip is full of sweetness and coolness. It's simply the best drink to relieve summer heat, calm your mind, and nourish your lungs!"
“Paired with a bite of samosas, it’s just so comforting!”
"What is this triangular cake made of?" Gu Chang asked as he looked at the triangular shaped triangular cake in front of him.
"This triangle cake, also called taro cake, is a famous traditional snack in Fuzhou, Fujian."
Second Aunt explained, "After steaming the taro, cut it into cubes or strips. The taro must be soft and sticky. Many taro on the market nowadays are grown with fertilizers and are still not cooked after steaming. Good taro is like good sweet potato, soft and sticky with a natural aroma!"
As she spoke, she processed the ingredients in her hands and continued, "Then add the appropriate amount of salt, sugar, five-spice powder and other seasonings, and mix them thoroughly with the rice slurry. The rice slurry needs to be polished and filtered many times to ensure a delicate taste."
"Finally, pour the seasoned rice paste into the mold, steam it in a steamer, remove it from the mold after it cools down, cut it into small pieces and eat it."
Gu Chang listened with great interest and couldn't help but exclaimed: "It looks really good!"
Gu Chang looked at the golden triangle cake in front of him, which was extremely pleasing. He picked up a piece and took a bite!
“Mmm…it smells so good!”
Gu Chang's eyes lit up instantly. He felt that the outer skin was crispy, the inner filling was soft, sweet and very delicious.
“This triangle cake is really delicious!”
Gu Chang ate it with great praise, "I have never eaten such delicious pastries!"
Second Aunt said with a smile: "Eat more. Come, have another bowl of green bean soup to cool you down!"
"okay!"
Gu Chang happily picked up a big bowl of mung bean soup and walked aside to enjoy his breakfast.
As soon as I found a seat and sat down, my cell phone rang!
Gu Chang took out his cell phone and saw that it was actually his senior sister Jiang Mozi calling.
He quickly picked up the phone and greeted with a smile: "Good morning, Senior Sister!"
"Oops! No, there's a time difference where you are. It should be night time now!"
Gu Chang suddenly came to his senses and remembered that his senior sister was studying abroad.
"Jet difference? Jet difference, you idiot! I've already gone back home on vacation!" Jiang Mozi's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Oh, I almost forgot, it's summer vacation now!" Gu Chang suddenly realized and slapped his head.
"My flight will arrive at Xianyang Airport at 12 noon, remember to pick me up!"
On the other end of the phone, Jiang Mozi deliberately pretended to be nonchalant and spoke in a relaxed tone.
Gu Chang was eating the triangle cake in his hand while holding the phone to his ear. He was stunned when he heard this. He stopped chewing and asked in surprise: "Ah? You came to Xi'an?"
Jiang Mozi seemed to have expected such a reaction from him, and replied with a smile: "Yes, what's wrong? Are you not welcome?"
Gu Chang quickly swallowed the food in his mouth and explained hastily: "Welcome, welcome, of course you are welcome! A warm welcome!"
Jiang Mozi smiled with satisfaction after hearing this, and then reminded: "That's good enough! Remember to pick me up on time!"
Gu Chang readily agreed and said that he would definitely arrive at the airport on time to pick her up. The two chatted for a few more words and then hung up the phone.
Gu Chang put down his phone and a happy smile appeared on his face.
