Chapter 21: Cooking

The days went by like this, Ling Xi still commuted to and from work as always, and Qin Tian still stayed in the library and at home every day to read books and check materials, and was responsible for completing the daily procurement tasks in the refrigerator. For example: water, milk, bread and fruit.

It wasn't until just now that Qin Tian finally got his own household registration book, ID card, passport and Hong Kong and Macao pass.

This means that he will soon be able to learn to drive, he can work, and it also means that he is starting to start his independence......

Qin Tian was very happy, so he called Ling Xi, it seemed that this was the first time he had called Ling Xi, why did he feel a little nervous in addition to being a little excited.

After dialing, after listening to a few beeps, Ling Xi's voice rang on the other end of the phone: "Hey, why did you remember to call me today?"

"I got my papers. Qin Tian said as calmly as possible.

"Yes, congratulations, from today onwards you will be an ordinary social person. ”

"Thank you, will you come back early today?" Qin Tian asked.

"What's the matter, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing, it's just that if you can come back early, then I'll go buy some ingredients and come back in a while, let's do it ourselves today, and it's time to celebrate, okay?" In fact, he was still looking forward to Ling Xi agreeing.

"Well, well. I'll be back early today. ”

"Then you see what you need me to buy, you tell me, I'll buy it. ”

"Well, I'll think about it, I'll send you WeChat after a while. ”

"Good. Then you are busy, I won't bother you. I'm waiting for your information. Bye-bye!"

"Well, bye-bye!"

hung up the phone, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose a little curvature, but he didn't know it.

Ten minutes later, I received Ling Xi's WeChat, anyway, she was the only WeChat friend, and there was no one else except her.

So he looked at the time and prepared to go out to buy the ingredients he needed, and he was in a good mood and happy to do anything.

By the time he had bought all the ingredients and seasonings that Ling Xi had written for him, it was already half an hour later. Then he went to buy some fruit before going home.

When he went back, he took out all the things he had bought, and put them in the refrigerator when he needed to put them.

All the others were taken to the kitchen, and they were all placed in the same way, originally thinking that Baidu would search for a recipe to see, and prepare it first, but then thinking about it, he didn't know how Ling Xi was going to get it, so it was better not to make it up on his own, and then help her get it together when she came back.

On the other side, Ling Xi was listening to the work report of the marketing director, and after she received Qin Tian's call, she had already adjusted today's work arrangement and was ready to go back at 16:30 in the afternoon, so she advanced the work report that was originally at 17:00 to now.

At the same time, the discussion of the new media department was also rescheduled to tomorrow morning.

As soon as 16:30 arrived, Ling Xi hurriedly went out of the office and prepared to get off work.

This is also the only time in recent years that she has left work early due to personal matters.

Another advantage of getting off work at this point is that there is no traffic jam, and it takes only 16 minutes to drive home from the company, Ling Xi thought that it would be 17:00 to get home, but I didn't expect that there would be no traffic jams. But it's still a lot of fun. Park your car and head upstairs and home in a happy mood.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw Qin Tian washing things in the kitchen, so she suddenly became playful, walked to the kitchen door lightly, and then suddenly greeted loudly: "Hello, I'm back." ”

Qin Tian was really startled when he suddenly heard the sound behind him, and when he turned around and saw Ling Xi's face full of smiles, he unconsciously followed the curvature of the corners of his mouth.

"It's nice to be back so early. You wait for me to get down, the grapes will be washed immediately, and you can eat some grapes for a while. ”

"Thank you for that. I'm going to change my clothes before I come out. Ling Xi is still used to changing her professional clothes as soon as she comes back, and it is much more comfortable to wear at home or at home.

"Good. Qin Tian sped up the speed of washing the grapes in his hands, and after washing, he took them out and put them on the coffee table, he knew that Ling Xi preferred to nest in the sofa, so it was more appropriate to put it there.

After a while, Ling Xi changed into a comfortable set of home casual clothes and came out.

But instead of nesting up on the couch, she went straight to the kitchen.

"I'll do it. She said as she took an apron and put it on.

"I'll help you with that. Qin Tian hurriedly answered.

"Okay. ”

Today, Qin Tian bought chopped small ribs, which were used to make sweet and sour short ribs, and also bought a pound of river shrimp, which was used to make Qingshui river shrimp, as well as chicken wings, big bones, wolfberries, and cola, which were used to make cola chicken wings and large bone broth.

These dishes are very ordinary and simple home-cooked dishes, and they are also what she usually eats a lot, she is a carnivore, and she doesn't like to eat vegetable vegetarian dishes since she was a child, so she won't do it, at least she won't think of doing it.

Seeing that she was starting to get busy, he immediately asked, "What are we going to do?"

"You can pour the shrimp into that basket and wash them. ”

"Good. ”

She herself first rinsed the small ribs and big bones with water, then put them into the pot and poured cooking wine, ginger slices, a little salt, and then poured water, turned on the fire for boiling, and boiled until the water boiled, you can directly separate the ribs and big bones into two filter baskets, and the water is not needed, this is mainly to remove the fishy smell of the meat itself.

Then she put the big bones in a pressure cooker, poured an appropriate amount of water, re-inserted the sliced ginger, poured in a little cooking wine, put in the best wolfberries, and the whole washed and finished green onion, and began to simmer.

Then you can make sweet and sour short ribs, put the freshly strained and fishy small chops into the pot, pour in the appropriate water, soy sauce, rock sugar, a little cooking wine, and start to cook with minced ginger......

Qin Tian originally thought that she should be in a hurry, but he never thought that she was so unhurried, which was undoubtedly another surprise.

It's so nice to look at her busy figure.

A warm current flowed from the bottom of my heart, and I had never felt it before.

Inadvertently, he was fascinated, and his eyes had long been on her, following her.

Ling Xi was wholeheartedly focusing on cooking at this time, after all, although he knew how to do it, he rarely had the opportunity to do it. So it's not sophisticated, it can only be said so-so.

She hadn't forgotten that she almost burned down her kitchen when she first learned to cook. So you still have to have a snack, and you can't be careless.

Besides, it's hard to cook a meal, and it's a shame to mess it up. And it's not a difficult dish to make.

In about an hour, Ling Xi's three dishes and one soup were also completed.

She was about to turn her head and call Qin Tian to come over and bring the dishes to the table, but she didn't expect to see him leaning against the door as soon as she turned around, his eyes were staring at herself without blinking, she thought: It can't be that she has something on her face, right?

She thought so and asked, "Do I have something on my face?"

"Nope. Qin Tian was pulled back to his senses by her words.

"Then you can help me bring the food to the table, and then you can sit there, and I'll come over when I'm done." ”

"Okay. After speaking, he hurriedly brought all the dishes to the table and put them away, and went to the refrigerator to get Ling Xi's favorite drink.

Then go get chopsticks and spoons.

When Ling Xi brought the rice to the table, two people, three dishes and one soup, were ready.

"I'm going to only eat the simplest, and it's also my favorite food, so if you don't like it, then I can't help it, you can only make do tonight. Or if it doesn't work, you can order takeout. Ling Xi said first.

"If you like to eat, I like to eat. Besides, you made it all by yourself, and I said I was responsible for eating it. How could you be stupid enough to order takeout. Qin Tian was full of joy and emotion, how could there be a reason that he didn't like to eat.

"That's good, I don't mean anything else, I just want to say that it's normal for everyone's preferences to be different, don't just because I did it you have to like it, just be the most authentic version of yourself. I don't want my family or friends to have to be reluctant to get along with me, it's not necessary. She said seriously.

"Okay, I got it. But don't worry, I really like to eat, because I don't pay that much attention to what I eat. Qin Tian found that many of Ling Xi's views were very special, but they made people feel very comfortable and happy to accept them.

The doorbell rang at this time, and Ling Xi immediately got up to open the door first, because she knew very well that it should be the cake she ordered.

Sure enough, when I opened the door, I saw the takeaway brother coming to deliver the cake.

When she brought it in, she opened it, the cake was not big, but it was said to taste good, and she put a candle in it and lit it.

She said to Qin Tian: "Today is the day you get your new documents, just take it as a new beginning, come, make a wish, just blow out the candle when you make a promise." ”

Although Qin Tian was still calm on the surface, he was already moved in his heart. I didn't expect Ling Xi to give him such a surprise and warmth.

I closed my eyes and made a wish, and then blew out the candle.

Then he walked up to Ling Xi, looked at her and said solemnly, "Thank you, Ling Xi." ”

After speaking, he took Ling Xi into his arms, and at this moment, he wanted to hug her well and let her know his touching and gratitude.

Ling Xi gently hugged him back, she understood his feeling of being cared for.

After about a minute, Ling Xi saw that he didn't want to let go yet, so he said, "Okay, let's eat first, the food is going to be cold." ”

Qin Tian reluctantly let go of his hand, sat back in his seat, and then said, "Eat." ”

The two didn't say anything more when they were eating, Ling Xi ate the dishes he made, and felt that it was okay, at least it wasn't unpleasant.

Qin Tian felt that this was a hundred times better than any restaurant, just because it was made for him by Ling Xi, and that was enough.

Ling Xi originally wanted to ask him what he thought, but when he saw him gulping down and eating hard, he didn't ask, it seemed that it should be to his taste.

The meal was eaten exceptionally quietly, and Qin Tianzhen ate her food cleanly, as he said.

Ling Xi asked worriedly: "Won't you hold up after eating so much?" You usually don't eat as much as I do, but if you eat too much today, will you feel uncomfortable?"

"No, it's delicious. "Qin Tian is indeed telling the truth. At least that's what he thought.

"Okay, I'll make you a cup of tea in a while, you'd better walk around and eat less, I'm afraid you'll have an upset stomach after a while." ”

"Well, I'm fine, I'm fine. Qin Tian replied firmly.
