One Fruit for a Table - Avocado
Abiu (Pouteria Caimito)
It's crystal clear.
Here are 4 fruits.
I picked several, large and small.
Enough.
Custard Apple (Annona Squamosa)
Here are some large fruits.
These should be ripe.
It's probably the biggest one.
That's enough. I'll pick some avocados now.
Avocado
I found it.
Full of avocados.
They should be kept on the tree for more time.
This one should be good.
Enough.
Grandpa.
Yes?
Where's grandma?
She went to trim the corn leaves.
This is the biggest one.
Here's for you.
I haven't tried it.
The black seeds are not ediable.
The rest is good to eat.
Place two sour papayas here (to ripen them).
I'll give this yellow one to Uncle Ping.
Dawang, why are you sleeping here?
You may fall off.
Will you fall off?
Why are you sleeping here?
You might fall off.
Come closer.
Good boy.
Good Dawang.
Dawang is moving in.
Or you may fall off.
Ahao!
Yes?
Go and check the custard apples.
Take the ripe ones to eat.
Sure.
Sis!
Yes?
All are ripe. Shall I take them all?
Sure, take them all. They can't be preserved for long.
Okay.
Grandpa loves the taste.
Yeah, your grandpa loves this fruit.
You made fun of him again.
Have a try.
Try it, auntie.
What is it?
Have a try.
Penji, come and help me.
I brought the beef shank back.
How did you bring such a big one home?
And from such a distant place?
Shallots
Soybean sauce, ginger, garlic, capsicum frutescens
Mint, rosemary, salt, sugar
Five spices powder, Sichuan pepper
Cooking wine, chili powder
Done.
The last bit.
Pass me the chopsticks. I'll go wash them.
Marinade overnight.
Pierce the sticks like this.
I'll push harder.
Come on.
More.
Grandma?
I'll give you a hand.
Are you pushing me?
Oops.
Pull her, pull her.
Okay, pull me.
Grandma, it's pull, not push.
What?
Pull me back.
Almost there.
That's it.
Tie it tightly.
Grandma, do invite Aunt Ju for dinner.
We're have roasted beef shank today.
Press to fasten it.
Pierce from here.
That's it. It won't fall, Uncle Ping.
Start roasting from the bottom.
Actually, we can hang it onto the lowest hooks.
I'll brush some oil.
Those on the surface tastes great.
It's already cooked over there.
Be careful. It's hot.
Very delicious.
Come on. Let's lift it up a little.
The heat is enough. No more firewoods.
Just roast it gradually.
Milk, sugar, oil, black sesame
Sift flour
Black Sesame Egg Rolls
It's for Ahao.
Have an eggroll first.
Not ready yet?
Just roast a bit more.
Sure.
I'd like one more.
Never mind.
Axia!
Yes?
Don't play with Dawang.
Help me make some egg rolls.
Didn't you make them just now?
We'll have many guests. I'm not sure if that's enough.
Maybe not enough.
Cherry tomatoes
Shallots, capsicum frutescens
Cilantro
Salt, black pepper
Let me taste it.
It's good.
Crabapple (Malus asiatica)
Avocado Sauce
Avocado, dried pork floss, roasted seaweed, soybean sauce
Don't know if my family like the dish.
Let me try it out first.
Mixed Rice with Avocados
Well, the mango is a bit raw.
Dice the mango
Whip the cream
Condensed milk
Milk
Sago
Mango, grapefruit
Avocado Grapefruit Sago Dessert
Where's Dawang?
Over here.
Dawang.
Come here. Dinner time.
Dinner's ready, Uncle Ping.
We'll finish the beef if you don't hurry.
Come on.
Hurry up.
Here you are, Coco.
Come on, Dawang.
Dinner's ready.
Dawang, they've eaten all the meat.
Do help yourselves. Leave the undercooked part to re-roast.
Let me cut the beef for you.
We need to finish the beef tonight.
Hurry up. Or you shall not leave.
It's been roasted for 10 hours.
Here's for you.
Sure.
No more eat. You're almost becoming a bull (stubborn).
You're stubborn enough, but you kept eating beef.
Have some egg rolls, auntie.
Like the taste of corn babas.
Put an egg roll up here.
And enjoy them together.
Is it good?
It's a bit spicy and very tasty.
Here, have some rice.
Save the rice for later.
Don't hurry, Dawang.
A moment, please.
I'll make yours later.
Move a little.
We won't eat it with your drool.
One cup for each one of you.
Try the avocado dessert.
It's good.
Why do you like rice so much?
Then finish it.
We'll roast another beef shank when you're married.
Just sit around like this and roast a whole beef shank.
Enjoy it all together.
We'll ask Penji to roast it by that time.
Then you'll need to give me a red pocket.
Otherwise, I won't go.
