Chapter 379: Imperial Green!
"I wish you had asked me for money so I wouldn't feel hot. ”
Ye Luo said helplessly: "We just met for the first time today, and you gave such a valuable gift, I didn't dare to accept it." ”
He has always been generous, but now he can only bow to the wind.
What is Howe?
This is the real Howe!
If you don't agree with each other, we will give gifts, and we should give them so well.
"As I said, I'm for Alice, not for you. Elizabeth pouted.
Ye Luo smiled bitterly: "Okay, just let me owe you a personal favor." ”
Originally, he planned to pay for it, but he thought that Elizabeth was a royal princess, and this money was not taken into her eyes at all.
If it was an ordinary person, he would have a way to compensate, but now, it really feels quite difficult.
"Hehe, I picked up a favor for nothing. ”
Elizabeth winked playfully: "I'll keep this favor for now, I won't need it now anyway, I'll look for you when I need it in the future." ”
"Yes, when you need it, call me directly, as long as it is within my ability, I will help as soon as possible. ”
Ye Luo shrugged his shoulders: "However, if it's beyond my ability, then I can't help even if I want to." ”
"You don't have to worry about this, if it's a big deal, I definitely won't look for you. Elizabeth said with a smile.
Ye Luo nodded: "Then it's no problem." ”
If it weren't for something he really didn't take, he really didn't want to owe this favor.
After all, personal debts are the hardest to repay.
"I say, Chef Ye, do you want Elizabeth to stay at the docks all the time?"
Lin Kai, who couldn't look at him from the side, suddenly said loudly: "It's almost noon at this time, it's almost time to eat, can you wait until you finish eating?"
"Uh......"
Ye Luo suddenly realized that the occasion was wrong, and said with an embarrassed expression: "If you don't say it, I forgot, my fault, my fault, go, go back." ”
The pier is still some distance from the house, Ye Luo didn't need to go, but came to the parking lot on the side of the pier and drove an electric tour bus over, picking up Lin Kai and Elizabeth to go home together.
As for Elizabeth's bodyguards, they got together and discussed for a while, and then divided two people to put the ingredients brought down from the yacht on the tour bus, and then quickly followed Ye Luo's car, while the rest of the people stayed on the yacht.
……
Soon.
Ye Luo and his party arrived home.
He had just entered the house with his front feet, put the gifts on the table, and was about to go to cook.
Unexpectedly, Alice also came back on the back foot.
At this time, Alice, who had come back from a stroll outside, saw the small gift on the table, ran over and asked curiously, "Huh, Dad, what is this?"
"This is a gift from your sister Elizabeth. Ye Luo paused, turned around and picked up the Jade Buddha and put it on his daughter's neck.
Not to mention, the little guy also likes it very much, very happy, she doesn't know the value of this Jade Buddha, but she thinks that the green Jade Buddha is about to come out of oil, and the color is very beautiful.
The little one looked down and pinched the jade Buddha hanging a little above his little belly in his hand for a while, then looked up at the only woman in the room and asked, "Are you Sister Elizabeth?"
"Well, it's me. Elizabeth smiled and nodded, "Do you like the gift?"
The little guy didn't recognize his life at all, so he ran over and put his foot around Elizabeth's neck and kissed him: "I like it, thank you, Sister Elizabeth!"
"Alice is so good, is there anything else you like? Elizabeth asked with a smile.
The little guy shook his head without hesitation and said, "No, I like flames, black and white, little golden retriever, little beluga whale......"
"Alright, don't count all your little darlings. ”
Ye Luo gently scratched the little guy's nose with a doting face and said, "Go and call my mother to sit with Sister Elizabeth for a while, my father is going to make lunch." ”
If the little one were to keep counting, she would probably count the calves in the pasture, which would be a long list!
Hearing Ye Luo's words, the little guy nodded, didn't care about putting the jade Buddha around his neck back into the box, and ran straight out, without guessing, he knew that he must have gone to find Scarlett.
Ye Luo looked at Elizabeth and thanked him solemnly: "Princess Elizabeth, thank you for the gift." ”
"As long as Alice likes it, I'll be happy with it. Elizabeth smiled and nodded.
Ye Luo was very emotional in his heart, this little gift was given by others, and they also had that qualification.
"Lin Kai, you take Princess Elizabeth to our courtyard to sit for a while, and by the way, help me entertain her, I don't have time to cook." Ye Luo said to Lin Kai, who was lying on the carpet in the living room as soon as he entered the house.
Princess Elizabeth is a distinguished guest, she can't dine with so many tourists, so it's better to eat at home!
"You cook at home, what about the tourists?" Lin Kai asked Ye Luo, who had just entered the kitchen and started to work, with his upper body straightened.
Ye Luo carried the two of them on his back, and his hands were busy washing and cutting vegetables without stopping, and he didn't look back and said: "It's okay, there is a chef on the tourist's side, if you are worried about what will happen, wait for us to eat a good meal before going over." ”
"Why don't I take Elizabeth over and have a look?"
After Lin Kai pondered for a while, he said, "It's just so good that I can introduce her to the environment on the island and the things that need to be paid attention to, and I'll come back when it's time to eat." ”
"Well, that's fine, but you have to be careful. Ye Luo thought that it should be fine to have Lin Kai by his side, so he directly agreed.
When Lin Kai led Elizabeth out, the little guy came back with Scarlett, Ye Luo, who was busy in the kitchen, suddenly stopped, walked out, and pouted at the box on the table: "Oh, this is Elizabeth's gift to the little guy." ”
"Isn't it precious?" Scarlett looked at and frowned
Scowl.
Ye Luo smiled bitterly and said, "I guess it's not a lot of money, but she doesn't care." In her eyes, this is a worthless gadget, and I really can't refuse. It just so happened that she came over this time to buy vegetables and fruits from me, so I'll sell her more when the time comes. ”
Ye Luo knew that if nothing else, then Elizabeth would be a big customer of these ingredients in the future.
For the big customers, you have to coax a little no, even if it is a gift from Elizabeth, if you really refuse, people will be unhappy.
"The material of this jade Buddha seems to be called green, right? I remember hearing someone say before that jade of this color is said to be the top-notch?" asked Scarlett, a little uncertain.
"That's right, this color of jadeite is called imperial green, which can be called the emperor of jadeite!"
Ye Luo popularized the information he knew to Scarlett: "Imperial green, green is positive, the color is strong, the same as emerald, I feel that there is a blue hue in the green, but it is not color cast." Imperial green is the best color and highest value green in jadeite, also known as 'emerald green', which gives people a noble beauty. In fact, imperial green refers to a unique color, imperial green is very green, very green, the kind of green oil, which is about to drip out. ”
"Tell me honestly, isn't this Jade Buddha very valuable?" Scarlett couldn't help but ask again.
"I don't know exactly how much it will cost. ”
Ye Luo shook his head: "However, it is estimated that it is no problem to change the villa." ”
He really wasn't lying, her mother didn't show off this thing to her in her previous life, and even said that a whole set of imperial green jewelry was intended to be kept as a family heirloom in the future.
As for the price, he must know, but what he knows is the price of the earth, and he really doesn't know the price of the water blue star.
In fact, imperial green generally appears on jadeite, and jadeite has imperial green, then the price is even more expensive.
The reason is that imperial green is very rare, so it is very expensive.
Imperial green jadeite is a kind of jadeite, which can be made into a variety of jewelry and ornaments, not only green and shiny under the light, but also said to be made into pixiu and other things to have the effect of good luck and avoiding evil.
In terms of price, it is much more expensive than gold, and it is more dazzling and colorful than gold in appearance.
Imperial green is the best color and highest value green in jadeite, also known as 'emerald green', giving people a dignified and noble beauty.
Imperial green is a unique color, imperial green appears a dignified lake green in daylight, at first glance it looks like lake blue, in strong light it appears emerald green, under digital flash it appears yang green, unpredictable.
Strictly speaking, imperial green refers to the jadeite of the old pit glass species showing the color of emerald.
Due to the low production and the exhaustion of resources in the mining area, the price has risen year by year.
Generally speaking, in the jadeite rough, only the glass jadeite with sufficient water head and deep color can become imperial green jadeite, and other jadeite with slightly worse water color cannot be regarded as imperial green.
Jadeite has a vitreous luster, translucent or transparent.
Jadeite exhibits a variety of colors due to the presence of different dyeing ions, usually white, red, green, and purple. Yellow, powder, etc.
Pure and impurity-free is white, if it contains chromium elements, it shows a soft and gorgeous light green, dark green, named emerald.
This variety is the most precious and is highly cherished and loved by people.
If it contains manganese, it will appear light purple and dark purple, and it is often called spring ground or lotus root powder field.
It refers to the thickness of the crystalline particles that make up jadeite, the shape of the crystals and the way they are combined. The jargon calls the structure 'bottom', and it is also called 'ground'.
Iron-containing elements are dark red, maroon, and ochre red, and are known as fei.
Containing chromium and copper elements, it is light blue and light cyan, and is called olive water.
In addition to good color, the texture of high-grade jadeite is also extremely important.
Generally, the color is fresh and beautiful, the texture is more transparent, and the glass luster is strong.
Conversely, varieties with a dry texture and poor transparency are secondary.
Jadeite is polycrystalline, mostly translucent, or even opaque.
It is impossible to be as transparent as a single crystal gemstone such as an emerald, allowing light to pass through freely and appear very crystalline.
Jadeite, like other gemstones, is a big factor in assessing its value, and jadeite's imperfections are mainly white and black.
When evaluating jadeite, the value of jadeite is determined according to the degree of damage caused by the defect to the beauty of the jadeite.
For high-end goods, defects are serious shortcomings, while for mid-range and low-end goods, the impact will be much smaller.
Jadeite, which has no flaws at all like imperial green, is normally invisible in the market, and even if it does, it will be auctioned.
As for these people in the auction, most of them are jewelry companies, or they use imperial green to carve a complete set of jewelry to be used as the treasure of the town, which can not only enhance the fame, but also improve the grade of the jewelry store.
Of course, this thing can only be played by the really rich!
If you are poor, you should wash and sleep.
Scarlett was silent for a while, then hesitated a little and said, "This Jade Buddha is too valuable, why don't we give it back to Elizabeth?"
"Everyone has sent it, what does it matter if we go back?"
Ye Luo sighed a little helplessly: "Take it, at most, I will find an opportunity to compensate from other aspects in the future." ”
After speaking, Ye Luo returned to the kitchen and started to work.
Scarlett looked a little restless at this moment, especially when she saw Alice's inconsequential movements, she was even more frightened, for fear that Alice would accidentally damage this precious jade Buddha.
Originally, she was going to put it away, but Alice didn't want to.
In desperation, Scarlett stared at Alice intently, and she had a posture of 'stop it if she found something wrong'.
……
About half an hour later, Lin Kai and Elizabeth came back together.
As soon as Lin Kai entered the room and continued to lie down on the corpse, he was bored and had nothing to do, and from time to time he gently rubbed Alice with his foot, causing the little guy to give him several rolls of the eyes.
Elizabeth, on the other hand, was polite to Scarlett
nodded, and then walked into the kitchen, intending to watch Ye Luo cook.
At this time, Ye Luo, who had already prepared everything, washed his hands several times in front of Elizabeth, and then began to cut and skewer meat.
This is also a sign of respect for Elizabeth, after all, beliefs are different, and these things must be paid attention to.
"Wow, Ye Luo, your hands are too fast. I didn't even see it that clearly, so much was strung out. Elizabeth said in amazement.
"You brought all this meat, I roasted the lamb for you, and the beef fried the steak for you. ”
Hearing Elizabeth's words, Ye Luo raised his head and smiled: "As for the beef bones, I took some of the beef bones, and I am making soup, and I will let you taste the taste of giant morels in a while, see if you like it or not." ”
"Well, good. Elizabeth swallowed, then nodded vigorously.
At this time, Scarlett was worried that Elizabeth would disturb Ye Luo, who was cooking, so she got up and went into the kitchen to chat with Elizabeth.
Seeing this scene, Ye Luo finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then began to concentrate on making food.
He didn't plan to use any other spices today, the only spices were salt and cumin.
When the mutton is cut, the fat and thin are selected, and the steak is also rich in fat.
Only add salt to better bring out the flavor of the meat.
He was a little worried about Elizabeth's retinue, and he didn't care about them after thinking about it.
Everyone is an adult, they will definitely be able to take care of themselves, no matter how bad they are, they can go to the cafeteria to eat, so don't worry about it.
The charcoal fire was lit, and after it was red and there was no smoke, Ye Luo skillfully skewered the mutton on the top and spread it out.
No, now he's a veteran at skewers!
It's just that today he was extra attentive, turning very diligently, and he didn't let the grease fall to the charcoal fire.
As soon as he felt that the fat was about to run low, he would quickly pick up the skewers and empty them over the side.
This can be regarded as a benefit of his practice makes perfect, don't look at so many meat skewers, now he can grasp the situation of each one.
If it used to be baked, there would have been some burning, but now it won't.
When a large handful of lamb skewers were grilled, he put them on a plate and let them eat them first, and he continued to roast them for the next round.
"Sister Elizabeth, you have to wipe the oil off the tip with a napkin, and then put the meat skewers on the plate, otherwise it will be very hot, and it will burn your face, and I will be burned once. Mom said that when it gets hot, it will not be beautiful. "Alice is a serious little master.
"Well, wow! It's really good, it's much better than what I eat at home. Elizabeth followed Alice's example, picked up a piece with a fork, tasted it, and said happily.
Alice said proudly on the side: "Dad's cooking is delicious." ”。
"You have to eat quickly, for it won't taste good when it's cold." Ye Luo interjected with a timely smile.
The main thing is that he saw that Scarlett was still a little reserved, far less than his daughter and Elizabeth ate so lavishly, so he reminded him.
Soon.
The second oven of the skewers is ready.
Ye Luo directly put the pan on the grill, put three side by side, and the three steaks were also put into the pot separately, without putting a drop of oil.
"Elizabeth, these steaks you have with you are really good, very fatty. Ye Luo looked at the snowflake patterns on the steak and complimented.
Elizabeth watched him fry the steak while eating the skewers, and because there was still food in her mouth, she was a little slurred at this time: "If you like, I have some for you." ”
It's just that what surprised her a little was that after she finished speaking, Ye Luo didn't give her any response, but put all her energy on the three steaks in front of her.
She also found that Ye Luo's fried steak seemed to be a little different from that of normal people, his hand would keep changing the position of the steak in the pan, and the three steaks were poked back and forth by his fingers.
She watched it very curiously, and she watched too much fried steak.
However, it was the first time she had seen a frying method like Ye Luo, and she couldn't help but eat meat skewers a little slower.
Ye Luo sprinkled some salt on each of them, then turned the three steaks over in turn, and then kept poking the steak with his fingers just like the fried side.
Just looking at his movements, I thought it was a DJ DJ.
After more than two minutes, Ye Luo picked up the three steaks, put them on the plate, and brought them to them, and said with a smile: "I tried a new method today, how about it." ”
Elizabeth curiously picked up the knife and cut it and put it in her mouth, it was very tender and tasted equally good, and then she kept eating.
But as I ate it, I felt that something was wrong, so this time I cut a piece directly from the back of the steak and put it in my mouth to taste it.
After Elizabeth finished eating, she asked with some surprise, "God, Ye Luo, tell me, how did you do this?"
The same is true of Scarlett on the side, looking at Ye Luo with some curiosity.
Although she has long known that Ye Luo's cooking is delicious, but since Ye Luo came back from traveling, she has also found that Ye Luo is really capable now, and she is more and more able to make new things.
"It's very simple, it's really about the control of the heat, I call it a segmented steak, and there are three different levels of doneness on the same steak. ”
Ye Luo said with a smile: "It's just that my doneness is a little different from the three, five, and seven in traditional Western food, but five, six, and seven." Only a careful taste can be tasted in the middle of the six ripenesses. ”
Of course, he poked his finger not to be bored, but to carefully feel the temperature on the steak.
This is delicate work, and although he could do it before, he couldn't do it yet.
However, with the improvement of affinity, Ye Luo found that his physical fitness was constantly enhanced, and he saw a chef doing this on the computer before, so he was a little angry and interested.
Since his previous mind was on skewers, he tried it when he had the opportunity today, but he didn't expect it to really let him learn.
