(Thanks to my friend for the encouragement of the 55 monthly pass)

Liu Wenrui really put his heart into this lunch today, and called Kipkerui again, and hurriedly went to the market to row the seafood, just look at it and buy it.

Harvey is a distinguished guest, a distinguished guest. This time I also brought myself such an expensive little gift, this meal must be eaten seriously.

He's just a layman, and he doesn't have so many elegant artistic cells. In his life, there are four words running through it now, eating, drinking and having fun.

With Harvey and Todd, let's put aside the fun for a while, that is the daily routine of him, Xiao Miaomiao and the animal babies at home.

But this eating and drinking, I really need to think about it today.

The big dish that is serious will definitely not be able to play today. After all, time is limited, and it is impossible for Harvey to spend all his time on himself, so today's dish must be new and ingenious.

I communicated with Kipkori again, and today this recipe came out. Four meat dishes: steamed pork, fried lamb with green onions, boiled fish, and spicy crab. Four vegetarian dishes: ants on the tree, shredded pork grilled rape, cold tomatoes, garlic and cucumbers.

That's eight dishes, and with a pot of egg drop soup, today's lunch will be very hearty.

Fish and crabs have not been procured yet. But that's okay, there's still ingredients to deal with. The meat in the refrigerator has to be taken out to thaw the thaw, the wash to be cleaned.

Pork belly is also particular, for example, Comrade Liu actually prefers pork belly when cooking. That is, the pork belly of the pig, this pork belly has three layers of lean meat, which is serious fat and thin.

The braised pork he made at the MSF residency yesterday was made with five flowers.

Of course, people who can eat meat still like to eat pork belly. Especially in the famous dish of sauerkraut and white meat in the Northeast, it is also the first choice for five flowers. This kind of pork belly tastes fragrant, and it is not easy to stuff your teeth.

The pork belly at home is frozen meat. Anyway, when he goes to the supermarket, he buys it by the cabinet. How much pork belly can there be, and he still prefers the pork belly.

Fortunately, there are not many people today, and there are still a lot of dishes to prepare, so in terms of quantity, there are not so many.

"Simon, I envy you for being able to cook so much food. ”

Watching Lao Liu clean up, Harvey walked over with a coffee cup.

"I'm not like you, you have a very important task and need to protect more people. As long as I take care of my daughter and my friends, that's OK. Lao Liu said with a smile.

"Now the pork I cook is used to make steamed meat, the method is very simple, if you are interested, you can learn from me. When you have time, make yourself a bowl. Tsk, that taste is not good. ”

"Simon, are you really studious?" asked Harvey, curious.

"Don't worry, stay ready to learn. After saying that, he looked at Todd again, "Todd, take your phone and follow me to shoot." It's all very easy to make, and even if it's not so easy to grasp at first, it will be delicious if you cook it a few times. ”

"Okay, I'll shoot it. Todten stood up and glanced at Lao Liu very gratefully.

It's not that the person who shoots is missing, but this little invitation allows him to participate as well. This Simon is very good, this friend is settled.

"Simon, what are you cutting these for?" asked Harvey curiously.

"This piece of meat is for side dishes, half of it is shredded, half of it is chopped into a filling, you will know it after a while. Liu Wenrui said casually.

"It just so happens that Kipkori is back, and I have to hurry up to get the fish and clean up the crabs. Harvey, the dishes I make today are all famous dishes in our Chinese country. ”

Hearing his words, Harvey was a little excited.

In fact, Harvey is two years younger than Lao Liu. But people are high-ranking and powerful figures in Kenya, and Lao Liu, whether in Kenya or in China, is a little fart person.

Harvey, who was very old in the past, is also in good spirits when he sees Liu Wenrui handling these dishes today. Take off your coat, roll up your sleeves, and learn everything from Lao Liu.

Lao Liu didn't expect him to be so enthusiastic about learning, and the job of peeling green onions and soaking vermicelli was handed over to him. Kipkori and Masika continued to clean up the crabs while he began to process the fish.

It's still a large piece of fish, and it tastes good, but it's all pure wild. The slices were also well handled, and then he marinated them with some spices.

It may not be comparable to the boiled fish made by a serious chef, but it is enough to fool today's meal.

The side dishes were almost done, Lao Liu lifted the lid of the pot and pricked the pork belly cooked in the pot with a fork. It's almost three centimeters into it, and that's enough.

The pork belly is put out to dry, and the boiled broth in the pot is also put in a basin. This is reserved for egg drop soup, and he is very careful to scoop out the oil flowers and foam on the top.

Slice the pork belly and stack it skin side down in a bowl. Sprinkle the seasoning and oil on top, cover with a plate, and then steam in the pot.

Of course, in the process of doing it, Harvey was also called over and asked him to take a closer look.

It's a person with status, and even if it's a friend now, you can't shout at it. This friend is also a friend, and there is still a layer of meaning between him and his brothers.

At this time, Kipcorey and Masika also cleaned up the crab almost completely. Lao Liu brought this pot of crabs over and cleaned them one by one.

Spicy crab, Harvey has eaten it at his place, and he also thinks it is delicious. So when Lao Liu was dealing with it, he also asked carefully. Because in the habits of their Kenyan people, this crab usually doesn't eat much. It is only in recent years that the Chinese people have come too much, and the price of crabs has been raised.

Usually they don't pay so much attention to eating crabs, what crab gills, crab hearts, crab stomachs, are all eaten indiscriminately, gnaw on it, and it's over.

Anyway, let's not talk about anything else, the way this crab is handled today makes Harvey feel that he has learned a real skill. When I get home, I can show myself to my wife and children.

Cut the crab, Lao Liu also poured some cooking wine, sprinkled some green onion and ginger to marinate it slightly.

"Harvey, the dish I'm going to make next, according to our Chinese name, is called 'Ants on the Tree'. In English, it's almost like an ant climbing a tree. Lao Liu said with a smile.

Harvey was curious, the name of this dish was strange.

Heat the pan with cold oil, pour in the green onions, ginger and garlic and stir-fry until fragrant, then pour the chopped meat filling into the pot and stir-fry carefully. When the minced meat changed color, Lao Liu put the noodles that had just been soaked by Harvey into the pot and stir-fried them again.

At this time, Harvey felt a sense of accomplishment, because he soaked this vermicelli.

After stir-frying a few times, Lao Liu poured some soy sauce and sugar into the pot. Stir-fry it casually twice, then scoop a spoonful of pork broth and pour it in.

"Harvey, you stir-fry with a spoon every once in a while, as long as the pot doesn't burn. After closing the lid on the pot, Lao Liu stuffed the spoon into Harvey's hand after speaking.

This time it made Harvey so nervous, and he looked a little in a hurry. Todd on the side tried to hold back a laugh, which is not common. This Simon is also really bold, dare to do such a thing.

This was supposed to be a small job, so he went to the side to boil water, and then scalded the rape. The blanched rape is carefully placed on the plate, and it is very easy to fry the shredded meat and hook the juice and pour it on the rape, which is complete.

Seeing Lao Liu make a dish so casually, Harvey and Todd were so surprised. I thought that the rape should also be fried, but I didn't expect it to be just boiled in water.

At this time, Lao Liu also brushed the pot and began to make the base for boiled fish.

The flavor is a bit strong, and with the help of chili peppers and peppers, the range hood here is not much use even if it is smoked hard.

After adding the soup, see that the soup from the ants on the tree is almost finished, and put it on the plate directly. This dish was also brought to the table by Harvey himself. Anyway, he felt that he was very involved in this dish and played a key role in it.

The next dish is spicy crab, which Harvey has seen Lao Liu make. But I didn't pay attention to it before, but today I'm very careful. Lao Liu was stir-frying here, and he was holding a spoon on the side and pretending to fry it twice.

Lao Liu looked at the pot, it seemed to be about the same, and then beckoned to him, "Stir-fry for another minute or two, and this dish will be ready." It's up to you. ”

For Harvey, with the experience of taking care of ants on the tree, he is now very confident.

Lao Liu also has something to do, the soup of the boiled fish has been boiled, and he has to put the fish fillets into the pot now. It's also a technical job, and you can't do it too hard or too gently.

If it is violent, the fish is easy to pile up and not cooked. If it's too gentle, the fish will get old. The taste is a little worse, and the food is also a tender word.

They all went in, covered the pot, and Harvey on the side also poured the spicy crab into the basin. Because there are so many crabs, the plate can't fit it.

"Harvey, how do you feel?" Lao Liu wiped his hands and asked with a smile.

"Haha, Simon, it's a great sense of accomplishment for me to finally know why you love cooking so much. Harvey laughed.

"I decided that I would also learn to cook whenever I had time. This way I can cook delicious food for my wife and children, and I am happiest when I eat at home as a family. ”

"That's right, like my daughter, she just loves the food I cook. Lao Liu said with a smile.

"Although the food in the restaurant is better and tastier, it is someone else's cooking, not a home food. Only the food at home will taste when eaten. ”

Harvey nodded approvingly, that's what he had just thought.
