The last time he saw Grandpa Zhu, the old man was still sleeping. For fear of disturbing him, Zhou Dong did not go over to take a closer look at the appearance of this century-old Rui.

Seeing Grandpa Zhu regaining consciousness at this moment, everyone couldn't help but secretly praise him, he really looked like a man with a long life.

His eyebrows have become somewhat sparse due to age, but they can still be seen as deep as mountains, his nose is like a hanging gallbladder, his middle is broad and thick, and both ears have pendulous beads.

As the saying goes, "Ageing is like children." Once a person reaches the age of eighty, his facial features and eyebrows will become blurred just like when he was a child. Children's eyebrows and eyes will become clearer and clearer as they grow older, but the opposite is true for the elderly.

But this Grandpa Zhu seems to have broken away from this pattern. His eyebrows are as clear as a young man's. Although there is a slight unhealthy glow on his face, his energy is not weaker than that of a young man.

Zhou Dong sighed secretly after seeing this, I'm afraid the old man really had a comeback. Fortunately, he was fast enough and could fulfill the old man's wish at the last moment.

"Haha, you are Master Xiao Zhou, right? The old man is greedy for a moment, so I'm sorry to trouble you."

I had long heard Dr. Liu say that this young chef from Jiuzhou Dingshi actually knew how to make 'Blue Lotus Root Fat Jade Porridge', and had been busy working on him since he got up early in the morning. The old man was both grateful and looking forward to it.

There was fluid emerging from everywhere, as if his old tree was about to burst into life at any moment.

That's right, I vaguely heard Chef Hu mention the name of this porridge back then, but I gradually forgot it as time went by. Now being reminded by Zhou Dong, the old man seemed to think of that smoke-filled era again, and he still remembered the man with two big braids.

The beautiful figure resolutely walked into the 'Ajie Valley', and that look back with a smile has made him unforgettable to this day...

"The old man made a strong statement."

Zhou Dong smiled and said: "This is my first time making it too, so I don't know if it suits your taste."

Huailiang looked at Zhou Dong and said to himself, "This is your first time doing this? Just cheat on me! Do you really think that my eyes are just for venting anger?" In his opinion, Zhou Dong's technique is simply refined.

I don’t know how many times I have done this secretly.

The old man glanced at the large white porcelain bowl held by Li Xiuchen and couldn't help laughing: "Such a big bowl, great, I was just so hungry that I could eat it all!"

Dr. Liu's eyes moved and he wanted to persuade the old man not to overeat, but he was choked back by the smell of the smell that hit his nostrils.

At this time, Li Xiuchen had already opened the lid and saw that the bowl of porridge was a deep blue color, really like a piece of jade. The most surprising thing was that there were countless pieces of jade-like things floating in the porridge.

Can't tell what it is.

The light sweet aroma, the freshness of vegetables and the faint taste of meat and bone broth impact everyone's taste buds.

Professional doctors like Dr. Liu have nothing to say. I feel that in the face of such delicious food, it is against moralism to persuade people to eat less. Forget it, the old man's time is running out, just let him be happy.

Bar.

The old man's eyes lit up, and he asked Zhou Dong with a smile: "Master Zhou, has the lotus root fallen in the morning?"

Zhou Dong was slightly startled: "Of course you can't start cooking early. Grandpa, you are indeed an expert. Master Cheng, you can start cooking now."

Shen Cheng brought the steamer directly. After hearing this, he opened the lid of the steamer at his feet, gently picked up two sections of white lotus root with chopsticks and put them into the porridge bowl.

These two lotus roots were first opened up by Zhou Dong, and then filled with honey and spinach juice. Finally, they were steamed in a basket for 20 minutes. The skin already showed a faint greenish-green color, but it was not as bright as the legendary 'Blue Lotus Roots'. It's still a bit worse.

Grandpa Zhu seemed to have foreseen this, and said with a smile: "It's almost done after five minutes, right, Master Xiao Zhou?"

Zhou Dong smiled and nodded: "Five minutes is enough."

"Okay, okay, Master Xiao Zhou is really amazing! I didn't expect that today, more than seventy years later, I can still eat this kind of porridge... Hahaha... ..”

Grandpa Zhu laughed heartily, and suddenly he straightened up and sat up. His waist was as neat as that of a young man in his thirties or forties. It seemed that he meant to sit up.

Dr. Liu wanted to dissuade him, but Grandpa Zhu waved his hand and said: "Okay, I am over a hundred years old, can I still live to be a fairy? Just let me sit up and eat happily."

After saying that, he looked at the wall clock eagerly, looking forward to the five minutes passing by quickly.

When the time finally came, Grandpa Zhu couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and gently scoop up a piece of lotus root.

“The color of the lotus root has changed? And it’s still changing!”

Everyone exclaimed in low voices. The piece of white lotus root that had been buried in the porridge for five minutes was more evenly blue than before. Moreover, after being picked up by Grandpa Zhu, the green color was even more intense and emerald, as if there was something there. Life is spreading from the inside out at a speed that can be detected by the human eye!

Huailiang stared at it for a long time, and suddenly realized: "My God, Zhou Dong, you actually used the principle of alternating hot and cold, and the principle of thermal expansion and contraction!"

Shen Cheng was immediately confused.

Oh my god, wouldn’t a mentally ill person who doesn’t know physics be a good chef? When will you have to be a top student to be a chef?

Huailiang glanced at him and said calmly: "I can guess what you are thinking, but I would like to advise you that it is useless to think too much with your talent..."

Perhaps only by burying a weak person like Shen Cheng with a few words can Hualiang people regain some confidence.

Zhou Dong's ingenuity was so terrifying that he immediately began to doubt that he was not a genius at all and whether he was qualified to be this person's opponent.

The lotus root segments in the steamer always maintain a high temperature of more than 70 degrees. The honey is completely isolated by the lotus root meat, and mixed with spinach juice to reduce the impact of high temperature on it; when the high-temperature lotus root segments are put into the 40-degree After the porridge is in the bottom, the temperature of the porridge rises to about 50 degrees, which is the most suitable for eating, within five minutes.

However, due to the rapid cooling of the lotus root, it caused thermal expansion and contraction. The 'capillaries' previously carved by Zhou Dong burst one after another, and the honey spinach juice dyed the entire lotus root green at a faster speed!

This physical change reached its peak when Grandpa Zhu pinched out the lotus root segments. The lotus root segments cooled down again in the air as if someone had cast magic on them, speeding up the 'coloring' of the lotus root segments!

When the lotus root segments were put into the porridge, they were still light green. When they were first taken out, they had turned into dark green. After staying on Grandpa Zhu's chopsticks for a while, they had turned into turquoise.

Just as magical as the green lotus root in myths and legends!

At the same time, the special aroma of lotus root is mixed with the fragrance of spinach and the sweet fragrance of honey, which strongly stimulates everyone's sense of smell and taste buds!

"This is the taste, this is the feeling!"

Grandpa Zhu laughed heartily, bit open the lotus root segment gently, chewed it with a look of intoxication on his face, and murmured incoherently: "Hmm, um, um, soft, waxy, fragrant, smooth...it's so delicious."

!”

If you say you want to eat, just eat it, and if you have to praise it, praise it, and don’t forget to suck it into the mouth that you have bitten, and the sound of “sizzling flow” will not stop.

Man, chirping is even more hateful!

Just chirp, the old man finished eating the lotus root segments and then lowered his head to scoop up the porridge. The sound of hula hula was deafening. Dr. Liu's eyes widened. He looked like an old man who had run out of oil and returned to the light. My diagnosis was not right.

What could have gone wrong? That would be embarrassing!

In less than half an hour, the old man drank a large bowl of lotus root fat jade porridge. He felt the clear air rise and the turbid air fall. The two airs were evenly distributed and the food returned to the large intestine. He burped comfortably.

The unhealthy flush on my face subsided quietly at some point.

The old man's ambition suddenly grew, and he felt that he could borrow another three hundred years from heaven!

"Well, Master Xiao Zhou, thank you so much. After eating your porridge, my old man feels full of strength. I really want to have another bowl.

Oh, by the way, are you all greedy just by watching me eat?"

"..."

Everyone, including Dr. Liu, felt that Wu Ming was angry.

I'll give you the first bowl of porridge first, old man. It's okay for us to be hungry. You should feel comfortable eating. But can you not tempt us with your mouth when you eat?

This is also a kind of kindness!

After you have eaten and drank enough, could you please stop touching your belly and ask us if we are hungry?

This is also a kind of kindness!

Old man, can we be a kind person?

Zhou Dong thought for a while and said: "Because I came in a hurry, I brought a piece of porridge. By the way, there is also a big pot in the kitchen of Village Chief Li's house. How about..."

Before he finished speaking, Huai Liangren and Shen Cheng had already left the ward side by side.

Li Xiuchen leaned down, put the tip of his tongue against his chin, knocked his knees against his forehead, cracked the glutinous rice with his heels, and swished out.

Dr. Liu smiled faintly, without shaking his shoulders or bending his waist. His feet were like clouds and flowing water. He looked like he was chasing cicadas with eight steps?

All nonsense!
