Chapter 953: What to eat in the hot summer?
Although the business does not need to be open today, it does not mean that Heath does not have to do anything in the morning. If his parents were still around, Heath felt that he could indeed relax and be lazy, but now Heath has to take responsibility. There are many things that Heath needs to do. If Heath does not cook, his Pokémon will probably have to wait until Farfetch'd wakes up before they can eat hot meals. Heath also has to prepare meals to entertain Xiaoyao at noon today. The ingredients for these meals also need to be prepared, but Heath has not yet decided what to cook to entertain Xiaoyao.
Theoretically, the easiest thing to make is hot pot. You just need to cut the ingredients and prepare the hot pot base. It is convenient, simple and fast, and the taste is often not too bad. It is a very good choice. The only problem is probably that hot pot is very hot, and Chenghua City is also in a hot summer. Heath just took a look at the temperature today on his mobile phone. Although it is not noon yet, the temperature is already 26 degrees. It seems that breaking 30 degrees will not be a big problem, and it is even expected to reach 33 to 36 degrees.
What does a high temperature of over 30 degrees mean? Anyone who has experienced it knows that at that time, let alone eating, there will be little appetite. The whole person is thinking about drinking water, all kinds of drinking water, and drinking water continuously. Only by drinking water continuously can one calm down his body and mind. Going out is even more painful. At that time, the high temperature burns his body. Even if he stands in the shade, he can feel the scorching temperature on his clothes. So eating hot pot in such hot weather has to be said to be a very torturous thing.
The weather outside is already very hot. Although it will not be too hot when eating and it will be cool with air conditioning, it is still not good to eat hot pot. Moreover, there is such a thing as public chopsticks in this world, so theoretically speaking, no one should be willing to eat with someone they just met. The main reason why hot pot was criticized by many people in the past life is that everyone's chopsticks are in it. Although it has become boiling water, people still feel disgusted.
What's more, there are some people who don't pay attention to hygiene when eating. After putting a piece of beef in their mouth, they will sip the food with their chopsticks twice, and then continue to use the sipped chopsticks to eat hot pot. This feeling of spitting out saliva is really unbearable. This is the reason why many people hate and reject eating hot pot.
After all, it was the first time that Heath met Mr. Qianli and Xiaoyao, and he didn't want to leave a bad impression on others.
So Heath didn't plan to make hot pot. Hot pot is suitable for eating in winter, but now it is summer. Eating hot pot in summer is still quite challenging for people. If it is eaten outdoors, it is even more of a torture. However, Heath had really seen people eating hot pot in summer in his previous life. But they were in the water, and eating hot pot with their feet soaked in water seemed to be quite cool. Although Heath felt that this was not very hygienic, after all, if so many people ate hot pot like this, it would be troublesome if athlete's foot was transmitted.
"Menghuan, what do you usually want to eat in such hot weather?" Heath asked Menghuan while brushing his teeth. Kirlia had grown a lot taller now and no longer needed Heath to hold her, but there was nothing she could do. Kirlia just liked to stick to Heath. Even now she still stuck to and was unwilling to leave, which made Heath laugh and cry.
However, Kirlia is also very well-behaved and sensible, and will not make trouble easily, so Heath doesn't care about Kirlia pestering him. After all, they are his Pokémon, so there is nothing wrong with them liking to pester him.
"Is the weather hot? I usually eat chilled watermelon." The dreamy tail swung. As a super-powered Pokémon, it was naturally very knowledgeable. Moreover, it usually liked to run around, so it had eaten a lot of things. However, if you talk about its favorite food in midsummer, it would naturally be watermelon.
In the scorching hot summer, take out the chilled watermelon from the refrigerator, cut it with a knife, and then take a bite of the watermelon. The taste of the chilled watermelon is well known to everyone who has eaten it. In addition, the watermelon is generally juicy, and you will feel a cool feeling after taking a bite, as if the scorching heat of summer is not worth mentioning.
Heath touched his chin. Watermelon is indeed good, but it is a bit too much to use watermelon to cook. Although Heath thinks that eating too much watermelon can fill the stomach and there is no difference, it is not used to entertain guests for a full meal. So it is naturally impossible to use it to entertain Xiaoyao and Qianli. So after hesitating for a while, Heath decided to make some home-cooked specialties. This should be enough. As for the dining environment, Heath's dining car will not be affected by the outside world.
Even if there was an erupting volcano outside, Heath's food truck would be safe and sound.
"Maybe you can add some ice powder or shaved ice, which should be pretty good." Heath thought thoughtfully. Eating shaved ice must be very comfortable. The only problem is that you can't eat cold food immediately after eating hot food. Similarly, eating hot food immediately after eating cold food can easily cause diarrhea. Of course, if the stomach is very good, this situation may not happen, but the probability of this happening is still very high, so Heath generally does not let guests eat immediately, but if Qianli and Xiaoyao come earlier, then this problem will not exist. Heath can let them eat shaved ice to cool off first, and then have the main meal.
"By the way, how can we relieve the heat without mung bean soup?" Heath hit his palm and found a blind spot. He seemed to have forgotten that he could drink mung bean soup to relieve the heat. Of course, the mung bean soup would taste better after being chilled, and it could even be made into mung bean smoothie, which was indeed a good choice. Thinking of this, Heath took out the mung beans from his storage room, which would come in handy later.
However, it should be noted that in order to relieve heat from mung bean soup, less sugar is needed. If too much sugar is added, it will be counterproductive. So theoretically, the best way is to not add sugar at all. In that case, the effect will be the best. It has the effects of clearing away heat and relieving summer heat, promoting diuresis and detoxifying, which is quite good. However, if you have already suffered from heatstroke, you still need to be rushed to the hospital without delay.
Heath had already thought about what to eat for lunch and was waiting for Xiaoyao to arrive.
