The emotional distraction lasted only a moment, and then soon after that, Nair gathered up, regained his composure, let go of his embrace, and slapped Holden on the shoulder, "Congratulations on being a member of St. Crion! I have to celebrate tonight, I bought some beef and pork." ”

No wonder there are so many things on the kitchen stove.

I don't know if this was before or after Nair found out that Hodden had left a lot of pocket money.

Turning around, Nair was about to roll up his sleeves and do a big job, but Hodden stopped him in time, "Nair, why don't you cook today." ”

Awakening the sporadic memories in his mind, Nair is a perfect older brother, and the only drawback should be his first-hand cooking skills:

It's not bad yet, at least it doesn't make any dark dishes, but it's also lackluster, and any fresh and delicious ingredients can be handled very mediocre. It's okay to stuff it in your mouth and fill your stomach, but it's impossible to pursue taste.

"You?" "You?" said Nair, who couldn't believe his ears, and that look of astonishment and suspicion was rare to be able to see a little youth, "Are you sure?"

Hodden nodded very affirmatively, "On your business trip this time, I tried to cook some dishes by myself, and I unexpectedly found that I seem to have some talent." "The words of understatement are actually full of confidence, and between the words, you can perceive the gesture of ease, which is completely like two people.

This is Hodden that Nair has never seen -

In just one business trip, Hodden seemed to be faintly different, and he could clearly perceive the maturity and sophistication, from helping to solve crimes to cooking himself, these details were reminding Nair that the carefree nerd seemed to have experienced something and grew up overnight.

But Nair didn't say it directly, because he knew his brother's personality, and if he didn't want to say it, then no matter how much he asked, he wouldn't get any answer. At this point, the two brothers are the same thing. Nair was going to sneak into it for himself to find out what was going on.

In the blink of an eye, the thoughts in Nair's mind boiled in a big circle, and when his eyes turned to the ingredients in the kitchen, he didn't hesitate any more, even if Horden messed up, he could stuff it all into his stomach indiscriminately.

So, he didn't discourage Holden, "Then I'll look forward to it." It just so happened that I went to take a shower first, and I felt that every pore was stuffed with mud. ”

Hodden made an "OK" gesture to Nell and walked straight to the kitchen, taking a good look at the ingredients before thinking about how to cook them.

Nair, on the other hand, stood by and watched Holden with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to burn down the kitchen. ”

Hodden was a little helpless, and drove Nair out of the room with his eyes, and then rolled up his sleeves and began to cook.

Today, Nair buys a wide variety of ingredients, but not too much of a variety — most of them are known to Holden, including vegetables and meats.

And last night, Holden didn't know that Nair would return from a business trip today, he was just thinking about his food today, so he soaked chickpeas in advance, and prepared to make a bowl of baked beans with onions, tomatoes, brown sugar and black pepper, etc., which are very suitable for potatoes or bread with rich sauce.

Now looking at the ingredients that Nair has bought, Hodden is ready to make a messy stew, the focus is on boiling chickpeas with the aroma of gravy, which is both umami and aromatic, which is perfect for rice, and of course, it is perfect with bread, and the meat is not wasted, and it can still be enjoyed.

Cut the beef and chicken into cubes, then the carrot hob, celery cubes, red pepper cubes, onion shreds, and four potatoes.

Towards the end of the preparation, start to heat the pan at the same time.

Stir-fry garlic, onion and red pepper in the pan in order, wait for the aroma of the ingredients to spread, stir-fry a little soft, add water to the pot, and then throw all the beef and chickpeas into the water, bring to a boil over high heat, and simmer over medium heat.

The simple but tedious preparations, organized and arranged by Holden, unfolded in an orderly manner, and the meal was cooked in an orderly manner.

Waiting for the slow cooking process, Holden continued to get busy, boiling another pot of water, taking out six or seven cheap potatoes, cutting them all into cubes, and then throwing them into this pot of boiling hot water, waiting for the potatoes to cook, and then taking out the potatoes and throwing them into cold water to cool for a while.

Then, take out the potatoes, crush them all, sprinkle them with a little salt, add a little milk, and stir quickly to puree.

When you're done, heat a pan with butter, add a few peppercorns, stir-fry slightly, add a little water, bring to a boil and thicken, then put the sauce in a small bowl next to it.

When all this was done, Holden's dinner was still over, and he blanched some broccoli and asparagus with his hands and feet.

Even meat animals need to be paired with some vegetables, and the combination of these vegetables with mashed potatoes is undoubtedly the most suitable, and with the sauce seasoning, it is absolutely delicious.

At this time, the bubbling soup pot could no longer suppress the tumbling steam, the lid was clanging, and the rich aroma of meat simmering overflowed from the cracks, penetrating the interval of the wooden planks, quietly lingering and spreading in the dimness, as if the whole house was full of the smell of meat.

Pedaling.

Pedaling.

There was a noisy movement on the second floor, and then you could hear the sound of the landlord Mai Luoxu's crutches, gradually approaching the third floor, until the sound of drums echoed in the building, and the residents who had just come home from work opened the crack in the door one after another, and peeked into what was happening on the third floor-

What kind of scent is that? I can't help but salivate, I've never felt so hungry!

Bang bang bang!

The door of the room was pounded, and Hoden quickly threw all the carrots and chicken into the stew, as well as some sausages, because these ingredients were relatively easy to cook, and they tend to rot after a long time, so he put them in the second half of the cooking to ensure the taste, and then walked quickly to the door and opened the door.

Mai Luoxu's fierce and distorted face appeared outside the door.

"What the hell are you doing, Goddess Shuma? Are you going to burn my whole house down? What does that smell like? It's so strong? It probably won't spread out for the next month, it's just going to seep into the skeleton of the house! It's a crime! You know? It's a crime!"

"I won't allow you to cook something that smells so big at home! You must stop now! Otherwise, I'll call the vigilantes and throw you two poor boys out of here." Stop, understand, stop me now!"

The earth-shattering voice of Mai Rochu reverberated in his ears for a long time, and the whole building could be heard.

Nair, who was getting dressed in the bathroom, rushed out in a hurry, ready to protect his brother.

Unexpectedly, Hodden replied unhurriedly, "What if I refuse?"
