Mrs. Hart's family arrived at Chen Hexi's apartment on Sunday evening. Not long after, they were surprised to find that Chen Hexi's popularity was extraordinary.

There are young and beautiful girls who bring fruits, handsome tall guys who bring pizza, and cute twin sisters knock on the door just to show off the cute little white cat "doll" in their hands.

Even Mrs. Taylor, who looked rigorous and solemn, brought a bottle of brandy with a bow tied to Chen Hexi's party.

"Amazing communication skills." Mr. Hart told his wife. You should know that the social interactions of corrupt people are relatively conservative. It is almost impossible for an Oriental person to gain acceptance in just a few days.

He Mianyun smiled and looked at the girl busy in the kitchen. She didn't know what she thought of, her eyes dimmed slightly: "It's very hard to learn cooking. Cici's cooking skills are so good now, so she must have suffered a lot in the past."

"It's okay, she's by your side now, you can make up for her." Mr. Hart hugged his wife and patted her on the shoulder.

"It's not just her, but her brother..."

"No... the only one left to me in the last marriage was this daughter."

While the children were not paying attention, she carefully wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Catherine is only 5 years old and is Mrs. Hart's youngest daughter. Now she is following Shen Hexi with a rabbit made of dough, happily like a little dove.

"cici, what is this?" Chen Hexi didn't bother to answer, turned around and lifted Catherine away from the side of the stew pot with one hand.

Then, Chen Hexi focused on placing a whole piece of pickled ribs on the onion rings and putting them in the preheated oven.

Behind her, 9-year-old Fred was eager to try to dip the seasoning with his hands that had been pickled ribs.

Well, the hot girl in 34e will be a naughty child in the future. The cold and handsome guy who will charm a group of beauties in the future will be a curious boy now.

Chen Hexi adjusted the oven time, took out the insulation gloves, took out a piece of white from the refrigerator on one side and stuffed it directly into the girl's mouth.

"Woooo~" Catherine was blocked by sweet desserts, and her fleshy little paws grabbed the little white rabbit and rushed out to find her mother.

Fred waited for his eyes to look at Chen Hexi.

"Little gentleman, do you have anything to say?"

Fred poked the dipping sauce with his finger.

“…”

“…”

Arthur stood at the door and smiled: "Fred means he is also naughty, why don't you give him some snacks! Fred, you actually acted coquettish to Cici!"

The arrogant boy was ridiculed by his brother, and his fair little ears instantly turned red.

Chen Hexi took out two pieces of red bean glutinous rice cakes and placed them on the hands of Arthur and Fred.

"The meal will be started soon. There are no two handsome knights in front of my kitchen door."

Finally, the kitchen became quiet.

Chen Hexi picked a slightly thinner pair from a stack of gloves and started cooking.

The dinner is arranged according to Western eating habits. The appetizer is a very home-cooked oriental dish with spicy and sour potato shreds.

Cut the potatoes into extremely fine shreds, soak them in light salt water to remove starch, add the peppercorns when the oil is half hot, then fry them, then take out the peppercorns, put the green and red pepper shreds and garlic cloves into the pot to make the aroma come out, drain the shreds of potatoes, stir-fry them for a few times, add vinegar and salt, which is the most common home-cooked dish in northern China.

The fire should be strong, the hands should be fast, the vegetables should be crisp and delicious, vinegar and salt should fall in love with each other, and the wonderful decoration of peppers, they eventually formed the most exciting alliance of human taste buds.

Chen Hexi spent ten minutes explaining to Mr. Hart and Mrs. Taylor that the ingredients of this dish were really potato.

The color is beautiful... Of course potatoes can be very beautiful too.

The taste is crisp...no problem, the potato starch was soaked...

Red? Chili... Green... or Chili, wait that's coriander.

A group of "foreign buns" were throwing out various problems and making Chen Hexi dizzy, and he didn't delay eating. In less than five minutes, the plates containing shredded potatoes in front of several people were clean enough to be put directly back to the cupboard.

Hum? Where is Ms. He Mianyun, who is also a Chinese?

She pretended that she didn't exist and tasted the home-cooked dishes she hadn't eaten for many years.

After the potato shredded potatoes are appetizing, braised eels are braised.

Braised braised is also a method that connects the north and south. The secret lies in the combination of sugar, soy sauce, wine and oil.

In the cooking of Chinese cuisine, sugar can not only provide sweet stimulation, but also provide umami temptation, eliminate greasiness, and give meat a wonderful umami flavor.

Tone the color and taste, first color and then water is the secret to braising. On the premise that the taste is more harmonious and perfect, the color should be light rather than dark, and the sugar should be less than too much.

The stir-fried sugar becomes a dark or light caramel color, paired with soy sauce, which exudes the aroma that can soak all ingredients under the heating of the oil.

For example, after being cut into sections and marinated in this city, eels are put into the pot and rinsed with hot oil and garlic aromas, they instantly burst out with the aroma they hide.

Stir, add water, stew.

The collagen-rich meat becomes loose but not loose under the wrapping of the soup, and it is soft and smooth and palatable, and it is even more seductive when the seasoning is adjusted.

When the braised eel was out of the pot, only Mrs. Taylor was sitting upright at the dining table.

Hart's family blocked the kitchen door, including Mrs. Hart's wife He Mianyun, who has been poisoned by the country's diet for many years.

"How can there be no rice? Braised eel must be served with rice." He Mianyun completely ignored the pitiful gaze of the little daughter beside her, and ate the last piece of eel on her plate. While she was still unsatisfied, she was confused.

"Xiao Xi, I'll take you to Chinatown next week. Maybe I can buy sheep's hooves or black chickens." She suggested enthusiastically, completely forgot that she was still uneasy about the relationship between mother and daughter.

So... is this the rhythm of booking the next meal? Chen Hexi was embarrassed and began to feel that the meal he invited did not seem to be a wise decision.

"Ding" Mrs. Taylor tapped her water cup with a serious face with a silver spoon. In the etiquette of the country, this is a reminder to speak.

"I have a small van, and if you like, we can also go to the big market by the sea to purchase..."

The main dish that night was roasted pork ribs with fruity aroma. Thanks to the high-quality oven, it did not let the aroma of pork ribs escape. The puree of several fruits and black pepper powder and other seasonings were blended with brandy in advance. They fell in love with the whole piece of pork ribs all night. The natural sour aroma of the fruit neutralized the greasy pork ribs. The spices not only stimulated the delicious meat but also removed the fishy smell.

In the oven, they further melt and change. Under the priming of high temperature, from quantitative change to qualitative change, from waiting to burst, is the peak showdown between pickling and baking. This is a showdown without winners, and the conquest of human taste buds is their win-win situation.

The highest standard for Chinese people to bake things is that the inside and outside of the food forms a delicious combination that is independent and integrated.

Outside, the color should be beautiful, crispy but not burnt, and the burnt aroma should be erected after the ingredients and flames directly face each other.

The inside should have soft texture, fragrant without greasiness, and the juices that are naturally retained by the ingredients contain all the essence of the food from taste to nutrition.

The key to all this is to control the fire.

Chen Hexi chose the best whole rib. After a layer of meat was stripped off, the outermost layer was a layer of fat-rich membrane.

Now, this film is baked with just enough fire to become a crispy shell that can be broken by bite, firmly wrapping the softness and fragrance inside.

After turning on the oven, Chen Hexi did not take off the insulation gloves from her hands. She picked up the sharp knife beside her and stabbed it hard into a gap in the ribs amid the screams of Mrs. Taylor and Little Catherine.

When the knife was lifted and the knife fell, people seemed to hear the sound of the crispy shell shattering and the sound of fragrant juice flowing down from the cut.

But in a moment, the whole piece of ribs had been broken into ribs by Chen Hexi, with meat on the bones, two parts fat and eight parts thin. The ribs seen from the incision were clearly divided into four layers, the outermost was a seasoning with burnt and fruity aroma, and then a crisp and sweet shell, followed by a fat and tender part containing the juice. The inner layer was lean meat that was attached to the bones, both in taste and in the tenderness.

Each mouthful has multiple tastes and a strange satisfaction.

Every bite is a taste bud revolution mixed with fruity, fleshy, burnt fragrance.

The only one who attended the banquet was Mrs. Taylor, who was a Christian.

But at the moment when the teeth cleave the crispy shell and the gravy enters the mouth.
