Life is a Game

Jiang Feng slept until night.

It was still late at night.

Not only physical rest, but mentally he also needs adequate rest. A night of excitement and high concentration is no less effective than a buffed braised pork. If Jiang Feng is still a little groggy before going to sleep, he can definitely be regarded as full of energy after waking up. wide awake.

Yes, he is sober.

I also realized that grasping inspiration is not a race against time, the faster you run, the tighter your grasp.

You still have to plan, you can’t do it like in the evening, you only know how to do it, you don’t know how to finish it, and you don’t know how to deal with the finished soup and you can only pour it into the sink.

After waking up, Jiang Feng felt a little hungry, so he got up and went to the kitchen to find something to eat. It's a pity that he basically ruined all the edible ingredients in the refrigerator, leaving him only the empty refrigerator and the kitchen cleaned by Wu Minqi.

There are noodles, but there are no eggs and green onions. You can't even make a simple bowl of egg noodles.

Jiang Feng could only silently take out his mobile phone to order takeaway, and specifically told the deliveryman not to knock on the door and make a phone call - Wu Minqi was sleeping so don't wake her up.

After ordering the takeaway, Jiang Feng sat on the sofa and brushed up his circle of friends.

Another normal day.

Ling Guangzhao, as always, advertised Babaozhai’s new dishes in Moments, Wang Hao, as always, did not update Moments, Aunt, as always, clocked in for fitness meals, and Chen Suhua, as always, posted the latest photos of Dahua——Dahua is getting fat again .

Da Hua used to be a fat big pink pig, but under Chen Suhua's careful feeding in the past two years, she has become a fatter but somewhat robust big pink pig. Whenever everyone thinks that Dahua is already fat enough and can't be fatter, Chen Suhua can make him fatter again.

In the first half of this year, Chen Suhua didn't know who she learned from. Maybe she watched too much of her aunt's circle of friends and suddenly said she wanted to raise pigs healthily.

Just when Jiang Feng was about to give a little like to Chen Suhua's circle of friends, he suddenly realized that he actually had an excellent place to find inspiration and practice cooking.

Li house!

Li's house has a large area and a large kitchen with basic kitchen utensils. The most important thing is that Li's house has big flowers.

Cook and eat now.

You can also brush experience by the way.

Perfect!

Immediately, Jiang Feng stopped ordering, and started to edit messages for Chen Suhua, expressing clearly his desire to go to Li's house to practice cooking in the past two days, and then the phone rang, and the takeaway was delivered, so he went to get the takeaway, and waited for Chen Suhua to give it to him the next day message back.

After eating a full meal from the takeaway, Jiang Feng watched TV for a while, and went back to his room at around 4 o'clock to sleep in the cage. When he woke up, he received a reply from Chen Suhua.

Both Chen Suhua and Professor Li welcomed Jiang Feng's desire to practice cooking in Li's house, and invited him to stay in Li's house for two days to save trouble. Jiang Feng thought it made sense, so he packed his clothes and dragged his suitcase to Li's house.

He has not been to Li's house for more than half a year.

The house is still the same as before, big, empty and rich. It must be said that there is something different, that is, Dahua is not staying in the pigsty and wandering in the yard, as if he is patrolling his garden.

Pigs can have their own gardens on the second ring road these days.

Countless social animals, including Jiang Feng, shed tears of jealousy.

The photos are not realistic, the big flower looks much bigger than the photo taken by Chen Suhua, maybe Chen Suhua turned on the beauty face to slim down the face and weight of the big flower when taking the photo.

Jiang Feng remembered that when Dahua first came to Beiping, it should be around 300 catties. The old man and Grandma Jiang usually don't raise pigs that are particularly heavy, and they will be killed if they are 270 catties. In their opinion, this is the most suitable food. weight.

Jiang Feng felt that the current big flower weighed 500 catties to say the least.

Really a super big pig.

From the perspective of a chef, Jiang Feng just looked at it and began to think about what to cook with it. Of course, just thinking about it, he is still waiting for everyone to live until the end of their lives to complete the hidden mission.

"Xiao Feng is here, ouch, it's been a long time since I haven't seen you, I feel a lot more energetic." Chen Suhua, who came out of the main hall with a kettle in his hand, saw Jiang Feng, and hurriedly greeted Jiang Feng, and at the same time looked Jiang Feng up and down carefully. .

"I lost weight." This was Chen Suhua's conclusion.

In fact, Jiang Feng gained 10 catties this year - he ate too well.

"Not thin, but you look good now, and your spirit is really good." Jiang Feng said with a smile.

Hearing what Jiang Feng said, Chen Suhua laughed from ear to ear: "It's still you who can talk, unlike my old Li, who only knows how to read those periodicals and books every day, and can't even say a few nice words."

"Is Professor Li at home now?" Jiang Feng asked along the way.

"I went out early in the morning to see which student he is teaching in which university. I can't tell which one it is now. He is happy recently, and there are people looking for something to do every day. Unlike me, he can only stay in the The family asked Dahua to accompany me, right Dahua." Chen Suhua looked at Dahua.

"Hmph." Da Hua actually responded.

It's really perfect.

Jiang Feng could only secretly marvel: "I'll put the luggage in the room first, so don't make Dahua's staple food today. I will cook all the pig food for these few days."

"I know, Xiaofeng, what you cook must be better than mine, and Dahua is also happy to eat." Chen Suhua took the suitcase from Jiang Feng's hand, "I'll put it in the room for you during the trip, I remember you There will be a competition in two days, so I must hurry up and practice now. The room is next to me and your Professor Li, so I won't bother you."

Jiang Feng was really in a hurry, the semi-finals were coming up in a few days, and he wanted to figure out how to thicken the corn before the semi-finals.

It's not for the semi-finals, it's mainly for a few days of thickening and then being interrupted to compete for a day. Jiang Feng will not feel the same when he practices again.

For three days in a row, Jiang Feng lived in Li's house, practicing thickening almost non-stop from morning till night.

You don't even need to eat braised pork to focus yourself. The pleasure of being one step closer to success after each thickening is enough to make Jiang Feng more serious and more focused each time than the last time.

Repeatedly, tirelessly.

Finally, at 9 o'clock in the morning on December 28th, three hours before the game, Jiang Feng realized that he seemed to understand.

The most perfect thickening is the simplest thickening.

Thickening gravy itself is not a difficult technique. The purpose of thickening gravy is to use the characteristics of water absorption and adhesion and smoothness of starch in the gelatinized state to thicken the marinade, increase the adhesion of the marinade to the raw materials, and make the soup Stronger, better color and taste.

But there is no difficulty, and it is often the greatest difficulty.

Just like cutting vegetables is very simple, but it is very difficult to remember, seasoning and heating are also very simple, but it is extremely difficult to really do it well.

In the past few days, a lot of mechanical and repeated thickening made Jiang Feng understand for the first time why when Zhang Sanfeng taught Zhang Wuji the sword technique in Yitian Tulongji, he would say that he had forgotten it.

Just forget it.

Forget the skills, forget Cao Guixiang, forget what you want to pursue, just remember to thicken, the original and simple repeated thickening over and over again.

Forget it all.

It's the plenary meeting.

At this moment, Jiang Feng can proudly and loudly and firmly say to everyone, I understand, I will thicken it, and it belongs to me completely.

"Xiaofeng, I remember you told me yesterday that your game today is at 12 o'clock in the noon. It's already past 9 o'clock, should you go?" Chen Suhua, who had been helping Jiang Feng keep an eye on the time, walked into the kitchen and found that the kitchen There were still three bowls of steaming soup on the stage, and they were about to take the soup to the pigsty and pour it into Dahua's trough.

"It's time to go, Grandma Chen, I'm calling a car now. It's really troublesome for you and Professor Li to be here these days. I'll pack up and move home when I come back from the game. Hey, the car is right at the door. I'll Let's go. By the way, the innermost bowl of lean meat soup is just out of the pot, you can have a taste." Jiang Feng pointed to the latest work of his enlightenment that was out of the pot, and hurried away.

"Why is this child being so polite to us? If there is anything to disturb, it would be good to stay for a few more days." Before Chen Suhua realized that Jiang Feng had realized it, he smiled and shook his head. The lean meat soup took a sip of the soup.

Chen Suhua's eyes lit up.

"Eh."

She also ate a lot of the various soups Jiang Feng made in the past few days, and they all tasted pretty good. Both Chen Suhua and Professor Li are not people who pursue appetite, and their requirements for food are not very high. Correspondingly, even if they eat delicious food, they will not have much reaction.

But this lean meat soup made her sigh.

Chen Suhua can eat it, this lean meat is not the same as what he ate two days ago.

She couldn't tell exactly what was different, they all looked similar, but this one was more delicious than the previous one.

The taste is good and the taste is good.

exceptionally good.

Chen Suhua just stood in the kitchen holding a spoon, ate half a bowl of lean meat soup in one go after breakfast, and then burped in satisfaction and disappointment.

It's a pity that the remaining half bowl is really too much to eat.

Chen Suhua carried the lean meat and trotted towards the study. On the way, he happened to meet Dahua who was walking in the yard. Dahua hummed to Chen Shuhua a little aggrieved. It was obvious that she didn't have enough breakfast and wanted to have some more.

Chen Suhua has raised Da Hua for two years, so she naturally knows what Da Hua means.

"Piggy, let's wait for a while, then grandma will get you something to eat."

"Lao Li, Lao Li, old man! Come to the living room and eat half a bowl of lean pork soup. Don't eat it in the study and I will wipe the table. Let me tell you that the bowl Xiaofeng cooked today is special. It's delicious, especially delicious, come and taste it, if you don't come out, I'll give it to Dahua to eat!"

Professor Li came out of the study with a face of reluctance.

Then you can't stop eating.

Chen Suhua smiled and said: "How about it, I told you that it is delicious, but when I came out, I still had a reluctant expression on my face."

"You didn't do it, what are you so embarrassed about?" Professor Li was speechless.

Chen Suhua pretended not to hear it, and continued to sigh with emotion: "If you want me to say that Jiang Feng really has the talent to be a chef, I still remember the porridge that Xiaofeng made for nourishing the stomach when my father was still there in the first two years. At that time, I was afraid that I would not be able to finish it all. Have you been eaten by me, I feel a little disgusting if I eat two meals a day and I don’t have anything to eat every day.”

"If you let me eat this every day, I can't eat enough!"

"You are beautiful, Xiaofeng now has to make reservations for many dishes a week or two in advance, and you still want to eat every day." Professor Li smiled, "Did Xiaofeng go to a competition?"

"Yeah." Chen Suhua nodded, "I wanted to cheer him on, but he told me that there were no spectator seats in their competition."

"Hey, it would be great if there were auditoriums. I'll find someone to set up a banner and pull up a banner to cheer Xiaofeng." Chen Suhua looked disappointed.

Professor Li: ...

For some reason, he was suddenly glad that there were no spectators in the cooking competition that Jiang Feng participated in.
