Becoming the Villainess: I Dominate the Cultivation Realm with My Wok!-Chapter 126:
Xiaohua sniffed and still mumbled, "So sour!"
After simmering on low heat for ten minutes, add rock sugar and salt. Stir until the rock sugar melts, then set aside.
By this time, the tomato base had taken shape, and Xiaohua, eyeing the tomato sauce in the bowl which had improved in both color and flavor, heard her stomach growl.
"It’s not that Xiaohua is hungry!" Xiaohua’s face turned red.
Children always have a strange persistence. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Slice the garlic, heat a suitable amount of oil in the pot again, and stir-fry the garlic slices until slightly yellow. Then add the chopped tomato chunks, releasing a fragrance similar to stir-fried tomatoes with eggs.
Add a spoonful of salt, stir-fry until the tomatoes release juice and soften, then pour in the prepared tomato sauce, stir until even, and the tomato base is done.
Though still carrying a bit of the tomato sourness, the fragrance was now truly enticing, making one feel as if they were in a tomato garden, as if turning around would let them touch the bright red tomatoes hanging on the branches.
Chen Muxue stored the excess base, took an appropriate amount of base, added water, and then put in a handful of noodles. Once cooked, she invited everyone to eat.
"Is it just noodles today?" Changgui eagerly ran over, only to see a plain bowl of noodles, and his enthusiasm diminished.
Changfu wiped his brow; he had been sowing rice seedlings today. A few days prior, during the porridge ceremony, he soaked the shelled rice, and today he just mixed it with fertilizer and spread it on the loose soil, covering it with a ground membrane.
He wasn’t sure if the weather would allow them to sprout, but as he covered the membrane, he inexplicably felt the joy of the soil, as if his spiritual power inexplicably rose while doing this work.
Yet whenever he entered the study to read, he felt dizzy, so now having discovered this strange cultivation method, he became even more enthusiastic about farm work than before.
Changfu wasn’t picky with food; although the Sect Leader had been feeding them well lately, he always remembered the hard times, feeling grateful for every meal.
Not to mention, this orange-red soup noodle looked appetizing, and the tangy tomato flavor indeed increased his appetite in this weather.
"I want to eat meat..."
While Changgui was lifting some noodles with chopsticks, Changfu was already stuffing a big mouthful of noodles into his mouth.
"Mmm!!" His eyes suddenly widened, and with an unclear voice, he let out an exclamation, sucking in the whole mouthful speedily and finishing the noodles in no time.
Changgui stood by, dumbfounded, "Is it really that good?"
Changfu didn’t reply but quickly blew on the soup to cool it down, took a sip of tomato soup, and then let out a satisfying breath.
Soon, he finished the tomato soup in his bowl, quietly looking toward Chen Muxue.
Chen Muxue was momentarily surprised, then quickly smiled and said, "Changfu wants more soup, huh? There’s more, there’s still some left."
Changfu smiled honestly, scratching his head a bit shyly.
Changgui skeptically tasted the noodles, and the rich, tangy flavor immediately burst in his mouth, instantly whetting his appetite. Was it really this delicious?!
He couldn’t help but take a sip of the soup. So fragrant!
Chen Muxue served soup for Changfu again, but before she could sit down, she was met with three pairs of gleaming eyes.
"Didn’t Xiaohua say the sourness wasn’t tasty?" Chen Muxue teasingly asked Xiaohua.
Upon hearing this, Xiaohua twisted her clothes bashfully, "Tasty... Sect Leader, I want more!"
"Hehe, Sect Leader..." Changgui chuckled awkwardly, holding his bowl and staying close to Chen Muxue.
The result was Chen Muxue had to take more base and cook a separate pot of soup for everyone.
Looks like the tomato base is a hit!
