"So, we need to boil some Crystal Sugar Water to increase the sweetness," Lin Xu stated.
As soon as he said this, Chen Yan, who was filming, chimed in, "Exactly, exactly! We need Crystal Sugar Water. The Watermelon Curd we ate as kids was always like that. Sadly, now they usually add the sugar directly into the Watermelon Curd. It's meant to be refreshing and quench thirst, but the more you eat, the thirstier you get."
Boiling Crystal Sugar Water was even less of a challenge.
You just add a big bowl of water to the pot, throw in a handful of Crystal Sugar to dissolve it, then pour it out and put it in the refrigerator's cooling compartment to lower the temperature.
By the time they filmed this step, the making of the Watermelon Curd was completely captured.
Next up was filming the finished product.
But that had to wait until it was set, so it couldn't be filmed right now.
Chen Yan put down her camera and picked up a watermelon, intending to practice. Meanwhile, Shen Baobao came over and said in the tone of an old hand in the cooking world, "Give me half of that watermelon. I'll teach you how to make it. I'm Lin Ji's Food's culinary consultant, you know."
The girl thought the title of consultant sounded pretty good, so she gave herself one too.
Chen Yan initially refused, but then she thought, I might understand it just by watching, but I'll probably mess it up when I try to do it myself, so she agreed.
From the side, Lin Xu said, "Clean out the watermelon pulp and dry the inside of the rind. Pour the prepared watermelon juice into the watermelon rind. Once it's chilled, you can cut it like a real watermelon, stick on some watermelon seeds, and pretend it's the real thing."
Could you actually do it that way?
The two "culinary experts" were so energized by the idea that they immediately started working on it. Hahaha, once it's done, we'll let our families try it and see if they're astonished! We never imagined fruit juice could be this much fun—it's truly a Divine Artifact for stress relief!
Lin Xu gently shook his head at the sight of the sisters frolicking with the watermelon. Then, he opened the refrigerator's chiller compartment, rummaged around, and eventually pulled out a box of top-grade Spanish red prawns.
Eh?
These prawns look good, and they're quite big.
Even the Fishing Platform's kitchen doesn't have them, so they mustn't be cheap. Tonight, I'll steam them for our little contributor, Dundun.
With the new store opening soon, this is the right time to seek a good omen.
Having decided to cook prawns for Dundun, Lin Xu then pulled out some beef brisket, planning to make Tomato Stew Beef Brisket so his father-in-law could enjoy it again tonight.
Additionally, the chicken breast in the fridge looked good; he would make a low-fat spicy shredded chicken dish in the evening.
Serve that with handmade noodles for Tomato Stew Beef Brisket Noodles, and dinner will be sorted!
While he was busy cooking, Chen Yan and Shen Baobao poured the prepared watermelon juice into the dried watermelon rind. As Chen Yan placed it in the fridge, she exclaimed, "Now comes the time to wait for the miracle!"
When Chen Yan was putting the watermelon away, she casually took out a few peaches from the fridge to wash and eat.
While washing them, she suddenly had a stroke of inspiration. "Brother-in-law," she called out, "if you can make Watermelon Curd out of watermelon, can you make Peach Cheese out of peaches too?"
Lin Xu hadn't expected his sister-in-law's mind to be so creative and said with a laugh, "Of course, you can. Not just peaches, but fruits like pomelos, tangerines, oranges, sweet melons, and Hami melons can all be juiced and turned into fruit curds. When making them, there's no need to boil the juice. Just pour the prepared agar into the fruit juice, and that's it... What? Not tired of playing yet?"
Chen Yan was genuinely treating this as a game; she found the idea of turning fruit juice into a jelly with agar water quite fun. Hearing it was possible, she took the peaches from the fridge and began to make her Peach Cheese.
Seeing this, Shen Baobao couldn't help but join in.
Now that I'm a culinary master, I can't limit myself to making only Watermelon Curd.
She tilted her head and thought, My mom says bitter melon is good to eat. It's not only good for one's complexion but also great for your health. If I make her some bitter melon curd, she'll be really happy, right?
「At the same time.」
Han Shuzhen, who was organizing recent patient files in her office, couldn't help sneezing.
What's going on? Is the air conditioning set too high?
She got up, raised the temperature a bit, and continued organizing the files...
Watermelon Curd is really simple; everyone should try it. Other fruit juices work too, just don't make bitter melon curd like our Shen Baobao. This chapter is 6,000 words—Brothers, I'm asking for Monthly Tickets!
