But when Su Le started preparing for lunch, Xie Ma immediately discovered that this kid was definitely an expert in the kitchen. Su Le washed the hen she bought. Yuan Mei wrote in the Suiyuan Food List that the chicken was the most powerful and all dishes depended on it. Just like a good man accumulates good deeds but people don’t know it. Therefore, he ordered the leader of the feather tribe to be attached to it with his birds.

Su Le cleansed the hen, chops off the mouth and claws, pulls a knife from the calf, then splits the back of the chicken in half, chops it into three centimeters long squares, cuts the skinned chestnuts into cross-flower mouths, wash them with water, puts them in the pot and cook them thoroughly. Place the wok on high heat, add peanut oil and cook until 50% or 60% hot, adds ginger and green onion chicken pieces, stir-fry, and then adds soy sauce, clear soup, cooking wine, sugar, and salt in turn. After boiling, adds the peeled chestnuts, transfer to a low heat, and simmer slowly.

Xie's mother knew at a glance that he was making chestnut chicken, and she thought to herself that there was nothing strange about it, she would do this dish.

When the chestnut chicken is simmered on the fire, Su Le washed the fresh eel and chopped it into a meat paste, put it in a small basin and added about half a pound of water and a little salt and stirred vigorously to make a fish soup. When the fish soup is stirred until it is put into water, add half a pound of dry starch and stirred it in one direction to make a fish soup paste. After minced half a pound of pork, 30 grams of dried shrimp, cut 2 liang of green onion into fine powder, put it in a bowl, add soy sauce and stir it into filling, and pinched it into round balls arranged in a plate. Take the fish soup paste with your left hand and spread it in the palm of your palm, use a spoon to pick the filling in the middle of the fish soup paste, wrap the filling balls into the fish soup paste, and squeeze out the spherical fish balls from the round hole formed by your thumb and index finger.

After all the fish balls are finished, pour the fish balls and water into the cold water pot from the basin, cook them over low heat, put two pounds of bone soup into the pot, add shrimp oil, pour in the fish balls and cook until the balls are expanded and the bone soup is scooped into the bowl, drizzle sesame oil, sprinkle with pepper and chopped green onion, and a bun fish ball is finished.

At the same time, the chestnut chicken has been stewed. Su Le put two dishes on it and asked Xie Ma to serve it on the table. Wash the oyster meat and mix it with minced garlic, minced ginger, fine salt, dry starch and water to make it into a slurry. Scoop lard in a pan, heat it down, pour down the oyster slurry and spread it into a round slice, and crack the duck eggs on it on the oyster slurry. When the lower layer is crispy and cooked, turn it over and add lard and fry it. When the two sides are crispy and yellow, you can start the pot. This is the special snack of Yunan.

Old Mrs. Ge did not lie. She is already 78 years old this year. When she reaches this age, her appetite will naturally be greatly reduced. Although the meals at home are carefully selected, the old lady is always unable to feel energetic when eating. When she sees chestnut chicken and Baoxin fish balls served, the old lady immediately smells the tempting fragrance.

Old Mrs. Ge picked up a chestnut. After simmering, the chestnuts were softened after simmering. The aroma of the hen was mixed into the soup and blended with the fragrance of the chestnut itself. It was mellow and rich, and it was not greasy. Su Le spent some time before coming here. Thinking that Old Mrs. Ge was old and his teeth were definitely not as good as young people, so today, they mainly cooked with chewy and easy to digest.

Old Mrs. Ge nodded, picked up the spoon and scooped up a bun fish ball. The fish balls were crystal clear and white, and as warm as jade. There was a faint heat floating above the fish balls, smooth and crispy in the mouth, the soup was not greasy, the eel meat was tender and delicious, the pork filling was plump and rich, the two different tastes were intertwined, and a wonderful taste beauty was created on the tip of the tongue. If chestnut chicken is a fusion of two ingredients, then this bun fish ball was another delicious feeling created by the comparison of the two ingredients.

Old Mrs. Ge couldn't help but praise: "It's so delicious. I haven't eaten such delicious fish balls for a long time. I didn't expect Xiao Su to be so young and could cook such a good dish."

Actually, Xie Ma can make these two dishes. The reason why Ge Wenhuai invited Xie Ma from Huinan was to take care of her mother's taste, but her two dishes were much worse than Su Le. On the surface, the ingredients and the process were the same, but the control temperature of each program was different, and the effect was completely different.

At this time, Su Le brought the oysters that had just been fried and fryed. Old Mrs. Ge took a bite of oysters and fryed them. She felt that the oysters were soft on the outside, tender and delicious on the inside, and the fragrance was very strong. The teeth and cheeks left a fragrance, and the aftertaste was long. This familiar smell reminded her of her hometown and her childhood, and she felt affectionate when she was in the scene. The old lady's eyes turned red, and she slowly put down her chopsticks.

Xie's mother, who had been observing the old lady's reaction, said with concern: "Auntie, are you okay? Is this oyster not suitable for your taste?" Xie's mother didn't eat a bite of the dish, but she was quite dissatisfied. Even if a child who had just left school could cook, how good would it be? I ate more salt than you eat.

Old Mrs. Ge shook her head and said, "It's okay." She picked up a tissue and wiped the tears at the corners of her eyes, and smiled at Su Le, "Su Le, don't laugh at me. This oyster fried reminds me of my past in my hometown. When I remembered me, it was so delicious..." The old lady's nose was sour and wanted to cry. The taste of this oyster fried was somewhat similar to what her mother had made in the past. People are often touched by some unintentional details, and the old lady is exactly like this.

Su Le smiled and said, "Grandma Ge, I learned my cooking skills from my mother. I have not received formal training. If you think it is delicious, you will be able to do it."

“Delicious, delicious, really delicious!”

A slightly weak voice came from the upper floor: "Xie Ma, what rice did you cook today? It smells so good!"

Su Le raised her eyes and looked upstairs, but saw a middle-aged beautiful woman slowly walking down from the building. She was in her forties and had a pretty face. Although she was wearing a home clothes, she still did not damage her elegant temperament. She was just a little thinner and weak, giving people a feeling of long-term malnutrition.

Old Mrs. Ge smiled and said, "Jingru, you are up." This woman is her daughter-in-law Li Jingru. When Su Le just arrived, she was still in bed resting, so she didn't know that there was a guest at home.

Li Jingru was slightly stunned when she saw Su Le. She didn't expect that there would be guests at home. Old Mrs. Ge introduced to her: "Su Le, my little fellow villager, your big brother specially entrusted him to come and cook a meal for me in my hometown." She said to Su Le again: "You should be called Aunt Li."

Su Le stood up and called Aunt Li politely.

Li Jingru nodded and walked over. She was really thin, with blue veins on her neck and her hands were also skinny.

Su Le couldn't help but think to himself, is she sick?

Li Jingru said, "Su Le, sit down!"

Su Le smiled and said, "I'll go to the kitchen and cook two more home-cooked dishes for Grandma Ge to try."

Old Mrs. Ge said, "No need, stop busy, let Mom Xie go and do it. You sit down and have a meal with me and chat with you. Jingru, why don't you come and try it too?"

Li Jingru nodded, sat down next to her mother-in-law, picked up the spoon and ate a heart-bread fish ball, blinked her eyes and said, "It's delicious, these fish balls are really delicious, did you make them?"

Su Le nodded, and only then did she find that Old Lady Ge and Xie Ma were both surprised. Su Le didn't understand what was going on. Li Jingru is anorexia patient, and they all fell into the root cause of weight loss. She is a history professor at Wu Yue University. In order to maintain her body shape, she has been strictly controlling her diet. Who would have thought that she had anorexia three years ago and she almost didn't eat much. Even when the family was eating, she didn't go to the dining table. Who would have thought that she was attracted by the fragrance of the food today. Not only did she come to the restaurant from upstairs, but she also ate a fish ball.

Old Mrs. Ge no longer remembers when the last time her daughter-in-law sat at the dining table for dinner. How could this not surprise her?

Xie's mother looked at Su Le with admiration. You must know that this hostess hasn't eaten the food she cooked for a long time. Today is really evil. After a different person, she actually got it.

Li Jingru ate another piece of oyster fried and said with praise: "It's delicious. I haven't eaten such delicious food for too long." Seeing everyone around her looking at her in surprise, Li Jingru couldn't help but smile: "I don't know what's wrong. After getting up, I felt very hungry. I smelled the fragrance of the food and no longer felt bored like before. I want to eat it. Could it be that my anorexia suddenly got better?"

Old Mrs. Ge was extremely excited. Although she didn't believe that the food made by Su Le would have such magical effects, no matter what, her daughter-in-law's anorexia suddenly became healed without treatment. This was a big happy event in their family. Her daughter-in-law had been sick for three years. Anorexia worsened in the past six months. She threw her college work aside and stayed at home to recuperate. Last month, she went to the hospital for more than 20 days. Her son was frowning because of her condition. If she could really recover her appetite from today, then the family would have forgotten all her worries.

Li Jingru praised Su Le's oysters and cooked several dishes. The old lady didn't eat much. After all, she was old and had limited appetite, so most of them were eaten by Li Jingru.

Xie's mother went to cook a few more dishes, but Li Jingru was too lazy to move the chopsticks she made, which made Xie's mother very embarrassed. Su Le helped her to eat a few bites and praised her politely.

After lunch, Su Le wanted to say goodbye, but Old Lady Ge insisted on keeping him at home to chat. Su Le accompanied the old lady to sit under the grape trellis in the garden outside. After a few words of chat, the old lady fell asleep quietly. Xie's mother came over and pushed her quietly into the room.

Li Jingru changed into a dark purple skirt and walked out. Seeing her mother-in-law asleep, she smiled and shook her head and said, "People are often like this when they are old. They fall asleep as they say, Su Le, don't mind."

Su Le smiled and said, "How could it be? Everyone has time to grow old, Grandma Ge is very good."

Li Jingru sat down opposite Su Le and waited for Xie's mother to come out and asked her to make a pot of tea.

Su Le picked up the teacup and took a sip. He felt very good about the Ge family. Although it was a family of officials, they did not have much official airs. They treated themselves, a commoner and approachable child.

Li Jingru said: "Su Le, what's the name of the cake you made today? It's delicious."

Su Le smiled and said, "Fried oysters, made of fried oysters, is very common in Huinan. Aunt Li, do you really have anorexia?"
