Chapter 27 - Chapter 25: Ginseng Silkie Chicken Soup And Bacon and Egg Fried Rice

After levelling up to level 3, Gu Yingxue obtained the accessibility for system mall.

System mall mostly provided top notch kitchen items, best quality ingredients, rare recipes, etc. But only problem is the price of these items.

Since she is going to make something for patient, she decided to shop in system mall for the first time.

She first checked the medicinal cuisine recipe. There are lots of recipes but the price range was so different. The lowest one worth 100 points and highest one worth 10,000 points.

After sorting out all the recipes, finally she bought Ginseng Silkie Chicken Soup, worth 150 points.

Once recipe was bought, she quickly bought main ingredients for the soup from system mall. So she bought out high quality whole silkie chicken, ginseng, red dates and goji berries from system mall. As for other ingredients, she has them at home.

Since Zhou Rouwei likes to eat sweet food, she planed to make some snowy moo cakes and also simple bacon and egg fried rice for Zhou Moting.

She went to kitchen and put down all the ingredients she bought on counter top.

Gu Yingxue first chopped the silke chicken into smaller pieces. Then in a large pot, she put the silkie chicken pieces and pork bones, covered it with water and brought it to boil.

While it was boiling she scooped out impurities and foam and poured it out and rinsed clean with cold water.

Once meat was cleaned up, she soaked ginseng, red dates and goji berries for 10 minutes to soften them and also for rinse off any dust that remaining.

After soaked enough, in a clean pot Gu Yingxue placed silkie chicken pieces, pork bones, ginseng and goji berries. Also she placed red dates after removing the pits from them. Then she added enough water and put it in stove to boil it under low heat.

Since soup needs to be boiled at least 3 hours, she started to make snowy mooncakes.

Gu Yingxue first made mooncake skin dough. To do that she added glutinous rice flour, sweet potato starch, wheat starch, cornstarch, white sugar, milk, oil and condensed milk in bowl, whisked it until fully mixed. Then poured the thin and runny batter into steaming pan, covered it with tin foil and steamed in high heat it until it was not runny.

When it was ready, she scored the dough and loosen sticky dough from the pan and put it aside to cool down.

Until it cool down, she started to made some fillings. She took out salted egg yolksand steamed it for 10 minutes then mashed them, placed them in food processor.

Then she added unsalted butter, milk powder and condensed milk into it and blend it unit it mixed well. After that she rolled them into small balls placed then in a parchment paper layed tray and put it in freezer.

When she finished making salted egg yolk filling, the skin dough was already cool down. Then she kneded it became until soft, smooth, and elastic. Once it was kneded enough she placed it in zipper bag and put it in refrigerator.

After that she made black sesame and red bean paste filling. For that she first melted butter in a pot, added black sesame powder and stirred until it mixed well and became aromatic. Then she removed it from heat mixed it with sweetened red bean paste.

Once it was ready, she steamed peeled, sliced purple sweet potato in high heat, them mash them roughly. Then put it in food processor with white lotus seed paste, blended it well until it became smooth.

Once all the filling was ready, she took out mooncake skin dough and started to made beautiful mooncakes.

As for the shapes of mooncake she made bunny shape, piggy shape, gold fish shape and classic shape with mold. For filling she first rolled all the filling types. Then took one ball from filling either black sesame and red bean filling or sweet potato and white lotus seed filling, flattened it placed ball from salted egg yolk filling in centre, covered it completely with the filling then rolled into a balll and set aside. Like this Gu Yingxue prepared all the filling for mooncakes.

To made animal shaped mooncakes, she separate the skin dough and coloured them with food colouring and mixed them together to get skin patterns.

Then she placed filling in centre of the dough, covered it completely with dough and made animal shapes carefully.

Not only that she also made some with mooncake mold.

Once mooncakes were ready she took a break and prepared to make bacon and egg fried rice.

Gu Yingxue quickly beaten eggs in bowl, cut bacon into smaller pieces and set aside. After that she broke up and loosened pre cooked rice and sliced green onions and bok choys that washed and dried.

Then in a heated pan under medium heat, she added oil, the poured beaten eggs into pan stirred constantly with spatula until egg broke into small pieces.

Then she turned heat up to high, added bacon and stirred until there will be less bubbles. Then she added green onions and rice into pan and mixed them together well.

After that she added salt and stirred constantly, then moved rice to the side of the pan creating a hole in the middle. She added vegetables into the hole in middle stirred it in the centre. After vegetables ready, she mixed everything together. When all the contents are fairly mixed, she seasoned it with light soy sauce and dark soy sauce and stirred again for few seconds. Then she removed it from the heat.

When she finished making all the things, the soup also ready to serve.

Gu Yingxue looked at the time, it nearly 12 o'clock, so she quickly packed everything and also put some in dining table for her and grandma.

"Grandma! Lunch was ready. You can eat it first!"

"I am going to these things to Rouwei and her uncle."

"Ok! Then go quickly, not make them hungry!"

"I can wait until you come back!"

"No need grandma, maybe I will stay for while in there, so you can eat first."

"Ok then!"

After settling down her grandma, she quickly went to her neighbour's house.
