Chapter 77 Diversification
With both hands barely able to carry it, Lu Xiao finally bought all the food for lunch and dinner.
In the past, when cooking was just a fool's errand, Lu Xiao always thought that the chef must be particularly good at shopping for vegetables. Now that he has become a master of cooking, he realizes that this is not the case at all.
Just like those who study computers, they don’t necessarily have to be able to install systems and repair computers; people in Inner Mongolia don’t just go out and ride horses or live in yurts.
After buying the groceries, Lu Xiao started working.
Stewed lion's head, Wensi tofu, pine nut corn, dragon beard mandarin fish and a soup, what Lu Xiao is going to make is Huaiyang cuisine.
The first thing he made was the lion's head.
Peel the pork leg, wash it, and chop it into pieces. The ingredients include lotus root, chopped green onion, minced ginger, eggs, etc. After mixing, pour in the prepared starch, mix well, and roll the minced meat into balls, like balls.
Little lion head.
When making the balls, Lu Xiao had already boiled half a pot of water in the casserole. Now that he had one ball, he put one into the water and steamed it with hot water.
After working continuously for more than half an hour, just after ten o'clock, he heard a knock on the door.
"Lu Xiao, are you at home?" Qiu Ya knocked on the door and shouted again.
Of course Lu Xiao gave her the address, but what Lu Xiao didn't expect was that she didn't make a call before coming. What if she didn't come back from shopping?
In response, Lu Xiao quickly came out of the kitchen and rushed over to open the door.
"Are you already cooking?" Qiu Ya asked curiously when she saw Lu Xiao wearing an apron, which looked like that.
Lu Xiao smiled and said: "Come in quickly, I promised to show you my skills, of course I have to prepare in advance."
"You're not cramming, are you? Have you burned a lot of food? If that doesn't work, let's go out to eat." Qiu Ya came in from outside and said while curiously looking at the environment in the room.
Although she was still bare-faced today, the fact that she didn't make up didn't mean she hadn't been dressed up. She was wearing a white dress and a red woolen vest, which made her look more delicate.
"You'll know in a moment." It's useless to say more, so Lu Xiao gave it up.
To be honest, Lu Xiao's house was very ordinary. Qiu Ya only took a look at it twice before losing interest. Fortunately, Lu Xiao had already vaccinated her, saying that he was the only one living in this old house, otherwise Lu Xiao's
It’s almost impossible to keep the character of a rich man.
"Then can I just wait and eat?" Qiu Ya winked at Lu Xiao and said.
"Not yet."
Qiu Ya looked at him with an expression that I knew well, waiting for his next words.
But Lu Xiao didn't say anything at all, but lowered his head and kissed her. At the same time, his hands were not idle, and he grabbed two handfuls of her elastic little butt through the skirt.
"I still need a little strength." After the kiss, Lu Xiao said with satisfaction: "Okay, now you can just wait for the meal."
Before taking two steps, Lu Xiao suddenly stopped, turned to Qiu Ya, who had just sat on the sofa, and said, "The remote control is on the coffee table. If you feel bored, just watch TV for a while. By the way, do you drink red wine?"
"wine?"
"The red wine of Château Lafite, the 1982 Lafite, was sent from my relatives from Hong Kong Island. It is said that September in Bordeaux in 1982 was extremely hot, and the sunshine made every grape reach an extraordinary degree of maturity.
This resulted in the extraordinary quality of the 1982 Bordeaux wine and turned the 1982 vintage into a vintage of the century."
Lu Xiao did not finish his talk, and added: "A bottle costs about more than 10,000 Hong Kong dollars. Because it is difficult to transport wine, I only sent one box. If you want to drink, I will open the bottle now and wait for dinner."
It’s almost just right. If the time to sober up is too short, the taste may be astringent, and if it’s too long, it will feel sour.”
He spoke so eloquently that Qiu Ya didn't hear much, but the 1982 Lafite cost more than 10,000 Hong Kong dollars a bottle. She was dismissive of this old house and disappeared in an instant.
"It's better not to leave. It smells like alcohol when you go home and it's not good for your family to smell it." Qiu Ya hesitated and said.
This does seem to be a problem.
Lu Xiao didn't force it, nodded and said: "Okay, let's talk about it next time."
In less than an hour, Lu Xiao finished cooking all the dishes and served them to the table one by one. The two of them started eating. The dishes were all brought to the table by Lu Xiao, and the bowls and chopsticks were also taken by Lu Xiao. From this point of view, Qiu Ya should belong to the family.
Little princess, the kind that opens her mouth when she comes with clothes and holds out her hands for food.
In terms of virtuousness, she is definitely not as good as Li Tingna, but Lu Xiao doesn't care about this. Not to mention that women can hold up half the sky. As the old saying goes, when looking for a wife, you need to find a wife who is diligent and thrifty. She has not kept up with the times, and Lu Xiao
Xiao is not looking for one, there is nothing wrong with diversity.
"This is so delicious, aren't you? Are these dishes really made by you?" Qiu Ya said in disbelief: "You didn't buy them from the restaurant and reheated them, right?"
Lu Xiaoxin said: "There is only one Huaiyang restaurant on this street, and the food is not as delicious as what I cook."
Qiu Ya believed part of what he said, that is, the food on the table was more delicious than what she had eaten in the restaurant, but she could not believe that these dishes were made by Lu Xiao.
Before coming, Qiu Ya was ready to eat noodles for lunch, and it was not made by Lu Xiao, but made by her. As for why she didn't eat anything else, it was because she only knew how to cook noodles.
I didn’t expect that lunch would be so rich and delicious.
"Are you full?"
Qiu Ya smiled and said, "I'm not just full, I'm almost full."
"Then you sit for a while and watch TV for a while, and I'll wash the dishes. After I finish cleaning up, we'll go out to watch a movie." Lu Xiao said.
"I won't sit down anymore. I'll go with you."
Um?
Lu Xiao, who thought she was going to wash the dishes, was a little surprised, but when he entered the kitchen, he realized that he had overthought it, and she just came in with him to chat with him.
Lu Xiao did not sign in to obtain the dishwashing skills, and in addition, when he usually cooks, Li Tingna washes the dishes. This means that his dishwashing skills have not been exercised and he looks a little disorganized and rusty.
Looking at his look, Qiu Ya's suspicion that he wasn't the one cooking the food deepened her suspicion.
I don’t know what she is thinking, otherwise she would definitely say that you didn’t come in to watch me while I was cooking, but you came in while I was washing the dishes. Lu Xiao: “…”
After spending twice as much time as Li Tingna usually did, Lu Xiao finally cleaned all the pots and dishes, and wiped the dining table and kitchen countertops.
"Let's go." Lu Xiao said.
"Don't you need to rest for a while?"
Lu Xiao wanted to rest, but if he didn't hurry up, he wouldn't have enough time. After watching a movie with Qiu Ya and going shopping for a while, he also had to prepare for a "date" with Li Tingna.
