Chapter 1395: Chapter 546: Ten-jin Cat, Nine-jin Rebel! Five-colored Chicken Porridge Finished, Unexpected Delight?

While still busy, Lin Hongxin and her family drove over.

They brought two ducks.

Compared to a big goose, ducks don’t have much intimidation power. As soon as they were taken out from the car trunk, Dundun ran over, completely unafraid of the ducks, which was a sharp contrast to the way he avoided the goose a few days ago.

Lin Xu greeted Aunt Lin Hongxin and Uncle, noticing the ducks were quite plump, he said:

"How about adding a dish of Blood Duck? It’s pretty tasty with rice, and duck meat doesn’t cause inflammation, better than other meats."

Upon hearing this, Shi Wenming took the kitchen knife, ready to slaughter.

Lin Xu followed, collected the duck blood and mixed in liquor to prevent coagulation.

Around ten o’clock, the group picking wild vegetables returned.

Chen Meijuan said:

"There are too many wild vegetables, they grow all over the valley. Thinking that the eldest sister and second sister would come, we returned early, planning to go again in the afternoon. Some of the old ladies wanted to eat vegetable nests, so we’re planning to steam some."

Upon hearing this, Lin Hongxin said:

"I’ll go in the afternoon too, my mother-in-law likes wild vegetables. Bring some back when we leave, having some wild vegetables now is more popular than big fish and meat."

The sun rose, warm and cozy.

Several people picked the wild vegetables in the yard, removed dry leaves, peeled dirty roots, and washed them several times to remove as much soil as possible.

In the kitchen, Lin Xu mixed the dough, preparing to steam some hollow buns to accompany braised whole pig’s head.

This combination of unleavened and leavened dough buns seems somewhat wasteful, but unleavened dough can also be fried, or made into torn bread or bump soup, without waste.

In fact, when Chinese chefs cook, there’s rarely any situation where food is wasted.

A qualified chef always makes full use of ingredients, even for leek roots that regular households might throw away, they will save them to make scallion oil or seasoning oil.

Once the hollow buns were steaming, Lin Xu took a piece of clean pork skin and placed the soaked chicken breast and thigh meat on it, starting to pound the chicken meatball using the back of a knife.

There’s more connective tissue in the chicken thighs, but because it’s fresh meat, adding it will have an unexpected effect.

Last time when Xie Baomin was making it, Lin Xu originally planned to use a Cooking Learning Card to learn secretly, but because a task was triggered midway, making the Cooking Learning Card unusable, he had to give up the chance to learn secretly.

However, Lin Xu remembered the specific steps.

Furthermore, since he knew how to make dishes like Snowflake Chicken Nao and Chicken Cake, the method for making chicken breast was not unfamiliar.

All the meatball and cooked pork fat were pounded well, diluted with clear soup, then the connective tissue and debris were filtered out, making the meat juice finer.

Next came the coloring.

Divide the meatball into five portions, adding cooked carrot puree, cooked vegetable puree, stock mixed with red rice flour, and seaweed puree.

All the ingredients were filtered to enhance the texture as much as possible.

Shi Wenming watched in surprise beside him:

"Five colors? It’s even more impressive than your master’s Tai Chi Chicken Soup."

Lin Xu smiled:

"Once you master the technique, it’s quite easy to make. The hardest part is actually the process from 0 to 1."

The exploration process from nothing to dishes is the most challenging, whereas enhancing dishes after they are made is much simpler.

After all the meatball was prepared, it was almost noon.

Lin Xu first served some dishes, then mixed cleaned wild vegetables with dry flour and steamed them, making steamed wild vegetables, and cooked some with eggs too.

As for the rest, they’d steam some nests in the afternoon; they simply couldn’t manage that for lunch.

Once the dishes were served, with Shi Wenming’s help, Lin Xu started making Chicken Porridge.

Last time, when Xie Baomin made Tai Chi Chicken Porridge, it was done simultaneously with his master, with both pots of chicken porridge mixed into one basin, presenting the Tai Chi pattern.

But Five-colored Chicken Porridge couldn’t be prepared in this way.

To make it visually appealing, external help was needed.

Lin Xu found five unused plastic strips, trimmed them slightly, placed them in quintuple in the soup basin, and fixed them with clips.

Then, he made each kind of chicken porridge one by one.

Once ready, he called Shi Wenming and Chen Meijuan for help, each holding a portion of chicken porridge to pour into the basin, after pouring, gently removed the plastic strips separating them.

Thus, five colors of chicken porridge appeared in the basin.

Five colors, in quintuple, looked quite shocking.

But it was not perfect yet because upon removing the plastic strips, the color boundaries were slightly uneven.

Lin Xu used a chopstick to lightly stroke along the color boundaries, turning the uneven edges into straight lines, immediately enhancing the aesthetics, looking almost like a model display.

Watching this scene, Chen Meijuan laughed and said:

"It looks so fake, quickly bring it over for everyone to take photos, Yueyue is waiting to post it on social media."

Not posting to social media, she’s waiting to tease people with jealousy.

Lin Xu understood his Baobao’s intention well. He cradled the soup basin in both hands and slowly walked outside.

Upon reaching the dining room door, Chen Meijuan helped him lift the cotton curtain, Lin Xu entered and placed the soup basin on the table, immediately eliciting exclamations from everyone:

"Wow, these colors are too beautiful!"

"There are actually five colors, looks like a cake."

"Awesome, my cousin!"

"Don’t eat yet, I need to take a photo first."

"I’ll take one too..."

Everyone held their phones and took pictures, all praising the craftsmanship, yet Lin Xu wasn’t quite pleased.

Because he missed the task deadline, resulting in no system reward of imitation vegetarian dish lottery. Although it’s just one dish, Lin Xu felt like he lost a fortune.

If given another chance, he definitely wouldn’t miss this task again.

"Meow~"

Just as he felt regretful, Dundun who was lying on the cat scratch board watching tablet approached, rubbing its head against Lin Xu’s pant leg.

"What’s up, Dundun? Hungry?"

Lin Xu bent over, rubbing the little guy’s head, was just about to go to the kitchen to take the braised whole pig’s head out, when suddenly the system prompt sounded in his mind:

"Host creatively made an innovative dish——Five-colored Chicken Porridge, rewards with Perfect Level imitation vegetarian dish——Top-grade Tofu, congratulations host!" ℴ

Lin Xu: ????????

What’s going on?

Didn’t he miss the task?

How come another imitation vegetarian dish was rewarded?

Could it be arranged by Dundun?

Glancing at the chubby little cat, which had already returned to its sofa-like cat scratch board, continuing to watch Tom and Jerry.

Lin Xu felt a surge of delight in his heart, feeling like lost treasures had been recovered.

He silently recited in his heart:

"Thanks, Dundun!"
