Chapter 1504 864:
From the thick shaving foam to the clean chin.Li Yu rubbed his chin, feeling the slightly raised stubble roots, which felt quite comfortable.
Then he scooped up some water with both hands and splashed it on his face.
He wiped his face with a towel.
Looking at his handsome face in the mirror, he chuckled.
After that, he put on his home clothes, a short-sleeved shirt and shorts.
He took a shower, and without having to wear thick bullet-proof vests and anti-explosion suits, he felt as if he was lighter by dozens of pounds, feeling much more relaxed and comfortable.
Knock knock knock—
The door was knocked on.
Li Yu hadn't had time to blow-dry his hair, and upon hearing the knocking, he immediately wrapped his head in a towel, then went to open the door.
"Mom." Li Yu saw his mother at the door.
She held a large plate, with stir-fried chicken with chili on it.
The chicken seemed plentiful, suggesting a big rooster had been slaughtered.
Additionally, there was a 2-liter bottle of milky-white rice wine on the ground.
Looking at the droplets on the rice wine bottle, it seemed to be taken out of the fridge just now.
Li Yu saw the dish in his mother's hands, and swallowed hard.
His stomach started growling again.
Li Yu took the plate from his mother's hands, and curiously asked, "Mom, I've just showered for twenty minutes, how did you finish so quickly?"
His mother gave him a glance and said, "This wasn't freshly slaughtered, I had prepared it beforehand for you to have in the evening, but I didn't expect you to return early.
Since it's already prepared, it was just a matter of stir-frying it straight away."
"No wonder mom, whipped up a small stir-fried chicken in just twenty minutes."
"It's very simple, no need to blanch, just start stir-frying on high heat, then render the chicken fat, add green onions, ginger, garlic, cinnamon, and star anise, stir-frying until aromatic.
Then add 300 milliliters of rice wine, followed by salt, MSG, and soy sauce.
Directly cook on high heat, and add starch to thicken when ready to serve.
.....
By this time, Li Yu was already digging in, grabbing a piece of chicken and popping it into his mouth, the flavor was rich, the chicken was neither tough nor mushy.
It carried a slight aroma of rice wine and chili, very refreshing to eat.
"Isn't it that adding salt early makes the meat tough?" Li Yu said indistinctly while eating.
He carried the plate of chicken to the table in his room, sitting boldly on the carpet.
The room had air conditioning set at twenty-six degrees, not too cold or hot, a comfortable temperature.
Upon hearing Li Yu's words, his mother picked up the bottle of rice wine on the floor, placed it on the table, and said:
"Why so fussy, just tell me if it tastes good or not?"
Li Yu chuckled and said, "Delicious, absolutely delicious. Mom, you're the best."
Seeing him like this, his mother smiled.
As a mother, the happiest moments are when seeing her children enjoy the food she made.
Seeing him eating so hastily, she said with concern, "Don't eat so fast, like you're starving...
Eating like this outside, people will have things to say... "
"Where to eat outside?" Li Yu asked.
"Uh..." Only then did Mrs. Li remember that it's the Doomsday now, and besides, her son was in charge of the entire Big Camphor Tree Base.
Seems, seems her son was somewhat right.
Feeling a bit awkward, she gave Li Yu a glare and said, "Eat slowly, there is braised beef and edamame in the kitchen! They've been braised since the morning, now for four to five hours."
"Mom, you're so good to me, hehe."
Li Yu looked like a little child at the moment.
If He Chao and others in the Outer City saw this posture, they would surely be astounded.
Upon hearing Li Yu say this, Mrs. Li's smile grew brighter, her wrinkles almost blooming like flowers.
"Sit here, I'll bring up the beef and edamame for you."
Mrs. Li got up and walked downstairs.
Li Yu looked at the plate in front of him, the shiny color, the crispy fried chicken skin, the glistening thicken sauce on the chicken.
The layer of Xiao Mi peppers on top made it look appetizing.
He swallowed the chicken in his mouth in one bite.
Finding holding chopsticks somewhat lacking, he directly stretched out his hand, grabbing a large drumstick.
His mom's cooking style was pretty bold.
The meat was in large chunks, but the flavor was still great.
Li Yu learned to cook from his mother, not to mention the speed, but also the taste is quite good.
Thump thump thump—
Li Yu was somewhat surprised to see his mother carrying a huge sieve.
Mrs. Li brought it over, and on it was a basin of water-cooked beef, sliced.
Plus, the edamame shining with enticing gloss.
Additionally, there was a plate of steamed buns.
Two cucumbers, and a dish of raw garlic.
"Mom, you are my goddess!"
Seeing the food in the sieve, Li Yu's eyes lit up.
These were all foods he loved.
Mrs. Li looked at him and said helplessly, "I'm not sure when you started with this habit, always liking garlic."
Li Yu said indistinctly, "Eating meat without garlic, loses half the flavor, ah, so good...."
The boiled beef was firm, braised for several hours, the flavor was genuinely nice.
Li Yu directly grabbed a few pieces of beef with his hands, then bit into a piece of garlic.
Following up with a chunk of chicken into his mouth.
After chewing a bit, he picked up a steamed bun, eating half of it in one bite.
