Chapter 89: Eat a Big Bite (Added for Alliance Leader
Qin Huai wrapped a piece of Jiang Mi Nian Gao for Xu Tuqiang on the spot.
Placed for 12 hours, the soft and sticky degree was just right. The off-white Jiang Mi Nian Gao, which looked a bit translucent, was cut into long strips half a finger wide, wrapped in red bean paste that had been thawed, heated, and cooled, with moderate sweetness, and then rolled in white sugar.
Just two words, delicious!
It's a pity that Qin Huai's finger technique wasn't good enough, and he couldn't make Jiang Mi Nian Gao with a beautiful style, otherwise Xu Tuqiang could experience the dining experience of a concubine in the palace once.
Xu Tuqiang looked at the Jiang Mi Nian Gao in the small plate in front of him with appreciation.
This was not ordinary Jiang Mi Nian Gao; this was the beginning of his happiness.
"Isn't it just eating a bite of nian gao? Look at your appearance, those who don't know would think you picked up gold." Grandpa Cao complained mercilessly, gnawing on the baozi with an expressionless face.
Heh, he didn't like eating nian gao at all.
It was soft and sticky and stuck to the teeth. The most critical thing was that now that he was old, eating this kind of dim sum made of glutinous rice was not easy to digest, and the stomach was uncomfortable with food accumulation.
Xu Tuqiang took a big bite of the Jiang Mi Nian Gao.
The nian gao was very sticky. Xu Tuqiang took a bite, and the pull brought by the nian gao actually made him feel the feeling of lotus root being broken and silk connected.
The white sugar was evenly wrapped on the nian gao, sticking to the mouth. The dense and pure sweetness of the white sugar, mixed with the faint rice fragrance of the nian gao, and also wrapped in the delicate, soft, and sticky, more mellow sweetness of the red bean paste, three kinds of textures and three kinds of flavors, mixed in the mouth, intersected, fused, and pulled under the chewing of the teeth.
Xu Tuqiang felt that today's Jiang Mi Nian Gao was more delicious than any he had bought before.
He really wanted to make a satisfied sound.
But the bite of nian gao he just took was a bit big, and today's nian gao was a bit sticky to the teeth, so he couldn't open his mouth and couldn't make a sound.
After a long chew, Xu Tuqiang swallowed the first bite of nian gao with satisfaction.
Grandpa Qian sitting opposite him:...
No, was Xu Tuqiang doing it on purpose? He didn't eat so deliciously before!
Grandpa Qian swallowed his saliva, and between the discomfort of indigestion and going to the hospital, and the discomfort of not being able to eat and watching Xu Tuqiang eat, he chose the former.
It's okay, eat a little less, it will only be uncomfortable for a while.
Grandpa Qian comforted himself.
Grandpa Qian thought so, and did so.
Only to see him quietly get up, walk to the window, and say in a low voice to Qin Huai, who was pressing the dates in the steamer: "Master Xiao Qin, can you trouble you to wrap a piece of Jiang Mi Nian Gao for me too, a small piece, I'll just taste it."
The basin of nian gao Qin Huai made was well received, possibly because he rarely made Jiang Mi Nian Gao so seriously. The success of this nian gao made Qin Huai discover that nian gao also had a good market in this area, and there were quite a few diners who loved eating nian gao.
If it weren't for the fact that making this thing was too troublesome, and the nian gao itself couldn't be sold at a high price, and Qin Huai was afraid that mass production with machines would affect the taste, he would have wanted to set Jiang Mi Nian Gao as a regular dim sum.
At 9:40, Luo Jun walked into the canteen leisurely.
Possibly because Luo Jun had already gone out a few times before, his personal outing to eat this time didn't cause a sensation among the community residents. The grandpas who stayed in the canteen to chat just raised their heads and looked at him more, then continued to chat about their own things.
Luo Jun sat at table 9 and didn't order any dishes.
Qin Huai knew what he wanted to eat.
Qin Huai felt strange at first, why didn't Zhang Shumei come to buy breakfast at 9:30? It turned out that Luo Jun wanted to go out to eat himself.
Qin Huai personally served a cage of Wu Ding Bao, two plates of Jiang Mi Nian Gao, and a bowl of mung bean soup.
"Where is my San Ding Bao?" Luo Jun questioned.
"You taste the nian gao first, nian gao fills the stomach, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat after eating the nian gao," Qin Huai said thoughtfully.
Luo Jun really wanted to ask Qin Huai, don't you know how to cut the nian gao smaller? But he didn't ask, because he found that the appearance of the nian gao seemed not bad, and he was willing to eat a little more.
Two pieces of Jiang Mi Nian Gao, one red bean paste filling and one date paste filling, both wrapped in thick white sugar.
"Doctor Qu loves sweet things, so I made the sweetest version," Qin Huai said.
Luo Jun nodded and began to taste.
One bite.
Luo Jun chewed slowly.
Wanted to speak, but it was clear that the nian gao was a bit sticky to the teeth, so he could only continue to chew.
Luo Jun accelerated the speed of chewing and finally swallowed it.
"It's okay." This was the highest praise Luo Jun had given to the dim sum Qin Huai made in the past few days. "However, even if Doctor Qu loves sticky things, isn't this a bit too sticky!"
"Problems in taste can be adjusted technically. If you send it a few more times, I can probably guess the taste Doctor Qu likes the most," Qin Huai explained.
Luo Jun nodded without speaking, silently finished the remaining Jiang Mi Nian Gao, then ate the Wu Ding Bao and mung bean soup in turn, and finally pointed to the remaining piece of nian gao on the plate and said to Zhang Shumei: "Pack this piece and take it back later."
"Okay, Mr. Luo."
"Pack another cage of San Ding Bao for me, I didn't eat it this morning, I want to eat it as dinner when I come back at noon." "Okay, Mr. Luo."
"Are you making Jiang Mi Nian Gao tomorrow?" Luo Jun asked Qin Huai.
"Of course I am."
"I want to eat the one sprinkled with sugar powder tomorrow. This one wrapped in a circle of sugar powder is too sweet, and I'm not a six-year-old child who loves eating sugar."
"Okay." Qin Huai also learned from Zhang Shumei's appearance and agreed, "Then Mr. Luo, go to the hospital for physiotherapy at 12:30, no problem, right? If there is no problem, I will make an appointment with Doctor Qu."
Luo Jun:...
"No problem."
"Thank you for your cooperation." Qin Huai returned to the kitchen to continue making dim sum.
At 12:30, Qin Huai carried the two flavors of Jiang Mi Nian Gao he brought for Qu Jing and arrived at the underground garage on time, finding Luo Jun already standing by the car waiting for him, and quickly opened the car door.
"You are 34 seconds late." As soon as he sat in the passenger seat, Luo Jun spoke unhappily.
"This shows that you are very punctual." Qin Huai didn't expect Luo Jun to arrive early at all. He thought Luo Jun would stay at home and not go out, and he would have to knock on the door to invite him out.
"Why do I feel that you are quite looking forward to doing physiotherapy?" Qin Huai glanced at Luo Jun.
Luo Jun's ears turned red, and he said angrily: "Nonsense, who would like to do that kind of inexplicable ghost thing, tying you to that damn bed and using things to shock you, it's simply paying to buy suffering!"
Qin Huai felt that Luo Jun was somewhat alarmist. He just took two electrode pads, and from his mouth, it became using electricity to shock him.
"However, the effect is still there," Luo Jun admitted reluctantly. "My waist hurt after watching movies for a long time before, but it's been better these past two days."
"Then are you still doing waist physiotherapy today?" Qin Huai asked.
"Legs." Luo Jun looked out the window. "Yunzhong Xiaoqu sends me WeChat messages every day nagging me to do leg physiotherapy, it's annoying to death. You are also unreliable, if I don't urge you, you don't know how to trigger the task, and after triggering the task, you don't practice well. Only making Jiang Mi Nian Gao today, what if Yunzhong Xiaoqu wants to eat other nian gao, don't you have to learn again."
"God knows how many times you have to send nian gao for this task of yours. I have paid for all the items, anyway, I have to do it, of course, I have to do it more than once."
Qin Huai smiled and didn't speak, drove all the way to the hospital, and then took out his phone to send a WeChat message to Qu Jing, telling her the good news that Luo Jun was prepared to do all the physiotherapy items.
This side quest was really not taken in vain. It completed Qu Jing's wish, improved Luo Jun's health, and could also take a look at Luo Jun's memory by the way.
It was still Luo Jun leading Qin Huai to the Rehabilitation Department.
Qu Jing had been waiting at the door of the Rehabilitation Department for a long time.
"Mr. Luo, see you again. After you went back last time, I thought it would take at least two weeks to see you in the hospital again. I didn't expect you to come after only a few days. It seems that the physiotherapy effect last time was very good," Qu Jing said with a smile, still in her previous attire, wrapped tightly from head to toe, just changed her gloves.
It could be seen that she had quite a lot of gloves.
"It's just so-so." Luo Jun pushed the door in and took a deep breath. "Legs."
"You are not allowed to come in," Luo Jun shouted at the outside.
"Okay, Master Xiao Qin and I will accompany you outside," Qu Jing said, turning to greet Qin Huai. "Master Xiao Qin, you are accompanying Mr. Luo again today."
"Idle is idle," Qin Huai said, handing the Jiang Mi Nian Gao to Qu Jing. "I remember you said last time you wanted to eat the dim sum made by Master Xiao Zheng. I'm not good at the dim sum he made, only Jiang Mi Nian Gao is closer to this style."
"The canteen happens to be selling Jiang Mi Nian Gao today, so I packed two portions and brought them to you, taste it and see if it suits your taste."
Qu Jing took the packing bag in surprise and found that there were chopsticks inside, and was even more surprised: "What a coincidence, I was delayed for a while this morning and got off work late, so I didn't have time to go to the canteen to eat. I originally thought about going to eat after Mr. Luo finished physiotherapy, but you brought me dim sum."
"Then that's really a coincidence, why don't you taste it now."
"That's not good," Qu Jing said. "I'm still wearing a white coat, it's not good to eat in the corridor."
"Go to the office to eat!" Luo Jun shouted inside. "Eat and tell me if it's delicious. I told Xiao Qin that the nian gao he made today is sweet to death and sticky to the teeth, but he insisted that this is a specialty."
"Yunzhong Xiaoqu, eat it now! Tell Xiao Qin that his nian gao today is just not good!"
Qin Huai gave a thumbs up to Luo Jun's excellent acting skills in his heart.
Since Luo Jun said so, Qu Jing of course wouldn't stand stupidly at the door.
Qu Jing knew where the doctor's office of the Rehabilitation Department was. She led Qin Huai to the office, taking off her mask while walking, revealing her pale face without makeup.
This time Qu Jing was not only pale-skinned, but her lips were also bloodless, looking like a low-blood-sugar patient who hadn't eaten breakfast and ran 800 meters.
"Doctor Qu, do you have low blood sugar?" Qin Huai was startled by Qu Jing's lip color.
When he saw Qu Jing's face last time, Qu Jing's face was just purely pale because she hadn't seen the sun for many years. Why were her lips bloodless today?
"It seems there is a little bit," Qu Jing nodded. "When I was studying before, I didn't eat regularly, and I often fainted while writing papers."
Qin Huai:...
How can such an outrageous thing be said in such a light tone?
What kind of workaholic is this, this is too outrageous.
"Then hurry up and go to the office to eat nian gao, the Jiang Mi Nian Gao I made today is wrapped in a layer of white sugar on the surface."
"Sweet!"
