The food in Australia is quite diverse, with the major advantage of having a wide variety of vegetables.
In the Sancha River area, Yan Fei can eat vegetables from any season because he led everyone in growing them in greenhouses. Before planting greenhouses, the most common winter dishes every year were cabbage, radish, spinach, and lotus vegetables—back then, spinach and lotus vegetables were relatively expensive. Many families only bought them during the New Year, while normally they mostly relied on cabbage and radish.
Yes, even cabbage has types, like yellow-hearted black cabbage, regular cabbage; radish includes white radish, carrot...
But cabbage is still cabbage. Only those who have lived through such tis would know how fortunate they are now. Those who haven’t experienced the life of eating seasonal vegetables until they’re sick of it will never understand how lucky it is to have a supermarket where you can buy any seasonal vegetable all year round.
The climate and the current season in Australia ensure a variety of vegetables in the kitchen.
After making Red Braised Rabbit, seeing so many vegetables, especially so that are not available dostically, Yan Fei felt a bit reluctant to stop.
Speaking of which, this period has been very busy, ever since Xu Xiaoyan learned about the Dinosaur World, he often slacked off and let the laborers prepare als. It had been a long ti since he experienced the feeling of being busy in the kitchen, watching dishes co out one by one from his hand.
It was truly an enjoynt!
So much so that when Old Haiden couldn’t wait any longer, when Daniel and Xu Xiaoyan both got up, what they saw was a kitchen filled with various dishes already prepared.
"You..." Old Haiden and Aunt Emily both looked dumbfounded, and Daniel was even more stupefied.
"Sorry, I saw so many ingredients prepared in your kitchen, I couldn’t help but cook a lot!" Yan Fei said with an embarrassed smile. "After we’re done with the morning rush, let’s go to the small supermarket to shop so more..."
"No, no need." Old Haiden quickly declined. "I have a small farm, most of the vegetables are hogrown, no need to buy them. Did you make all of these?"
It’s no wonder he was skeptical, Yan Fei’s movents were just too fast. They hadn’t seen Yan Fei in action just now, but even when choosing vegetables, his hands moved so fast that they left afterimages, and normal human eyesight couldn’t see clearly how he handled them. Anyway, no matter what kind of vegetable landed in his hands, it was all prepared within a minute, whether it needed peeling or picking...
"You can eat now!" Yan Fei called to them. "There weren’t enough plates, so I used so other things. It doesn’t look too nice."
No one else minded how it looked, it was just a simple breakfast, but it had ten or so dishes prepared. There were only five people, they couldn’t possibly finish it all, right?
Famous dishes from China like Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes, Red Braised Rabbit and local small pumpkins, cabbage, lettuce, greens...
So dishes are actually quite similar to those in China, but with different varieties and slightly different appearances. Fortunately, Yan Fei had been to many places, and had also stayed in Australia for a few days before, otherwise, he wouldn’t recognize so of the vegetables, let alone cook them for everyone to eat.
The tastes are definitely different, even though Yan Fei tried to accommodate the flavor preferences of Australia, most of the ti, he still cooked them authentically in the Chinese way—he believed that the food from China would suit the taste of people worldwide. Back in the day, when China could make hundreds of types of food from noodles, Australia was still a barren land!
"This taste is kind of weird, not quite like how I usually make it." Aunt Emily tasted a very common Beta vulgaris subsp. cicla. "But when you savor it carefully, it’s pretty good! How did you make this?"
Beta vulgaris subsp. cicla is actually Cowhide Vegetable, which locals generally like to use in salads, but Yan Fei certainly made it in an authentic stir-fried style.
Since Aunt Emily humbly asked for advice, Yan Fei certainly did not hold back: "Actually, it’s just a simple stir-fry. Yesterday I saw you add chili to your dishes, so I thought you both could eat spicy, so I added a little chili..."
Daniel buried in eating: Hmm, it’s delicious, it’s delicious! Boss Yan, your cooking could really put people down, okay? It’s one thing to be young and rich, but to cook a al that even a long-ti professional homaker like this old lady admires, what else can I say?
Seeing Emily and Yan Fei chatting enthusiastically, if she didn’t know her granddaughter already had soone, Xu Xiaoyan would have been worried that Emily would introduce her daughter to him next!
Old Haiden was also very satisfied; he liked eating at, but as he got older, he no longer tended to eat overly greasy food—however, this rabbit at was so delicious, even though there wasn’t much at and he had to chew on bones, it tasted so flavorful! After finishing, the taste of the rabbit in his mouth made him reluctant to eat other dishes. But the other dishes were also delicious!
"Sorry, Yan, we really can’t finish it!" Until a few people felt too full to sit up straight, they finally put down their utensils. Old Haiden, holding his stomach, said, "If you could cook a al like this once a month, your workers wouldn’t even need salaries. Everyone in town would want to eat at your place... no, work there..."
Yesterday, Aunt Emily cooked relatively few dishes, and with Yan Fei here, everything was eaten up. This made Aunt Emily especially happy, after all, for a homaker, having guests eat up everything is a recognition of her cooking skills.
