382 Stomach Warmer

Lu Li looked at everyone in front of him with a smile, "Does anyone plan to try it?" Or are you waiting for me to try it first?"

At the table, I don't know if it was intentional or coincidental, Lu Li stood on the side edge of the table, on his left hand side were sitting today's guests, and on his right hand side were all members of the ranch, everyone with different expressions. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"It's ...... Pasta?" It was Richard who spoke, and although the ranch members were a little hesitant, they were more curious, not knowing what new tricks Lu Li had, but the expressions of the guests were not so pleasant.

Mark still had a calm expression, no surprise or panic, and no curiosity or concern, as if this was just a normal dinner. It's just that his slightly stiff back line and the small movement of sitting upright on the back of the chair still reveal his true emotions in his heart.

Raymond looked at every dish on the table with a serious look on his face, looking playful, Robinson was trying to control his expression, but the anxiety between his eyebrows was still difficult to hide, and the corners of his mouth dragged down slightly expressed his inner rejection.

"Yes, it's gnocchi soup. Lu Li politely introduced, "This is a kind of northern food in China/China, a very home-cooked cuisine, with almost no technical content. But in winter, or on rainy days, drinking a bowl can not only satisfy hunger, but also warm the stomach and dispel the cold. It is a dish that smells of home. ”

Richard raised his eyebrows, "Wow", sighed, but didn't know how to describe it specifically, so the words stopped here dryly, and kept closing his jaw, as if he was looking, as if he was thinking.

"Fourteen, I smell ginger. Randy poked his head in, curious.

Lu Li immediately remembered that Randy didn't like ginger, and the last time he drank ginger soup, it was like this, it was completely torture. This made Lu Li laugh, "Yes." However, this time it was not added much, just as an ingredient, like minced garlic or chili. ”

Randy pursed his lips, noncommittal.

For a while, everyone didn't move, and even the other dishes that had just been served on the table were also snubbed, this scene Lu Li was not unfamiliar at all, so he was naturally not in a hurry, he picked up the spoon and prepared to make a bowl of gnocchi soup for himself first, in such a humid weather today, a bowl of hot soup is definitely the perfect choice.

"Fourteen, get me a bowl. "The first to stand up was Tony.

Tony winked at Lu Li, with a smile on his face, and couldn't help but rub his hands to express his anticipation. This is not the first time they have tried fresh Chinese food at the ranch, and I believe it will not be the last, some they like, some not. But what is certain is that if it is a dish made by Lu Li, he is willing to try it.

Lu Li said with a smile, "I still want to be the first to try it, but you are the first." As he spoke, he began to make soup.

"Fourteen, give me a bowl too. Cole also stood up immediately, with an eager expression on his face, but before Lu Li could respond, Jessica also shouted, "Are you sure you don't wait for the guests? Jessica didn't stand up, but kept swaying her body back and forth, and then leaned her upper body forward, looking at Lu Li expectantly, "I'm really cold today, I feel like my whole body is soaked in water, and what I need most now is a bowl of hot soup." ”

Brandon didn't say a word, just raised his right hand in the air, affirming his presence.

Seeing the ranch so enthusiastic, Robinson couldn't help frowning, "Did you do it on purpose......? It looks like a pot...... Batter. ”

Lu Li knew that Robinson was holding back his emotions, if it was someone else, it was estimated that he would have directly scolded at this time, or used more vulgar words to describe it, but Robinson didn't. In this moment, Robinson once again showed his upbringing and essence - direct, but not reckless, sharp, but not rude.

"I think you can try it, and if you don't like it, then try other dishes, but what if you like it?" Lu Li said with a smile.

Robinson couldn't help but shake his head, "As far as I know, Chinese/Chinese cuisine is as famous as French cuisine, and in addition to the taste, another reason is that you are very particular about color, aroma and shape. But this dish looks completely unappetizing. ”

"This is a ranch, not a three-Michelin restaurant. Raymond's complaint, still did not fall behind, and appeared on time.

Lu Li couldn't help laughing, "I admit it, it's all home-cooked cooking, and what I'm not good at is plating, it doesn't look very good." ”

Robinson didn't speak, but moved back, his back against the back of his chair, and the look of repulsion couldn't be clearer.

Tony took the small bowl from Lu Li's hand, because the bottom of the bowl was too hot, he quickly sat down, put the bowl on the table, and said with a smile, "First of all, you can confirm that this is indeed a bowl of hot soup." That made everyone laugh, but not Robinson and Mark.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Tony, their eyes were very mixed, expectant, curious, and worried.

"I know I'm handsome, but there's no need for everyone's eyes to be so affectionate. Tony's teasing made everyone chuckle, but Raymond and Richard's smiles were a little forced.

Tony lowered his head, scooped a mouthful of soup with a spoon, put it in his mouth, and took a small sip. "Hot, hot. Even though he was mentally prepared, Tony was burned and his whole face wrinkled, but he still didn't give up, scooped up a small piece of gnocchi, and bit it carefully.

Because it was too hot, he couldn't help but raise his head, open his mouth wide, and keep breathing, and his cheeks that kept bulging, looking like frogs, were really funny, and everyone couldn't help laughing, this time, even Mark was no exception. Robinson, however, was still frowning and his expression was serious, as if Tony was eating not gnocchi, but insects or something.

Finally relieved a little, Tony chewed quickly, "...... whew" He couldn't help but sigh, then twisted his head, continued to chew, and after swallowing, he lowered his head and took a sip of soup, only then did he show a satisfied expression.

"How's that?" Richard asked aloud, because of his previous friendship in England, Richard and Tony were more familiar with each other, and they spoke much more actively.

Tony pointed to his mouth, indicating that his mouth was still hot, and he didn't speak.

At the same time, Lu Li handed the second bowl to Cole, and Cole couldn't wait to start tasting it. There is no need for words, Tony's movements and expressions are enough, and Cole knows that Lu Li has cooked a delicious dish this time, which is a good thing, because it means that they have a good mouth again.

Cole lowered his head and silently tasted his gnocchi soup, and sure enough, the hot soup slid down his throat and into his stomach, and the whole stomach suddenly began to tumble, and a warm gas dispersed, and was transmitted down the blood vessels to the limbs of the body, which was very comfortable.

"Wonderful, really wonderful. Tony finally came to his senses and sighed, "Fourteen, you're really amazing. It doesn't look like much, but it tastes good. With the aroma and sweetness of beef, the wheat aroma of flour, and most importantly, all of them are integrated into the soup, which is hot and hot, and it feels very comfortable to drink. Wow. ”

Tony didn't continue, gesturing to his soup bowl, "I have to continue, before it cools down." Then he stopped talking, buried his head and began to drink the soup, not caring about the hot soup at all, and every time he was scalded to make a snorting sound, but the movement still could not stop.

"Really?" Richard asked again, his expression clearly not convinced, but Tony didn't have time to answer, just pointed to his soup bowl, motioned for Richard to hurry up and join him, and then gulped down the soup.

In this short time, Cole had finished drinking a bowl of soup, he sat up up contentedly, leaned back in his chair, and felt the faint warm current flow down the veins to every part of his body, as if to dispel the cold;

I didn't feel it before, everything seems to be normal. But now, Cole felt the touch of exhaustion dissipating deeply, the tension of a busy day, and the cold after the rainstorm, which now seemed to be relieved.

"Comfortable. Cole couldn't help but sigh, "Fourteen, you mean, this can ward off the cold?"

"Yes, I added some ginger, and the gnocchi soup was meant to warm the stomach. Lu Li nodded in affirmation.

Cole picked up the bowl and handed it to Lu Li, "Can you give me another bowl?"

No more words are needed, and the action itself, which is sufficient, speaks volumes.

Randy looked left and right, except for him, the friends on the ranch already had a bowl of gnocchi soup in their hands, and everyone was concentrating on tasting their own soup, and now he couldn't sit still anymore, "Fourteen, fourteen, give me a bowl." ”

"Then you have to wait. Richard had already stood up and taken the lead in becoming the first of the guests to eat crabs, "Fourteen, guests first, right?"

Lu Li couldn't help laughing, "Of course, if you're willing to try." Taking the soup bowl from Richard's hand, Lu Li hit a bowl, and then handed it over, his eyes fell on Mark and Raymond, "Do you need it?"

"Fourteen, hey, fourteen, what about me?" said Randy, waving his right hand vigorously, "They're not sure, but I need it." You can get me a bowl first!"

Lu Li didn't look back, still looking at Mark and Raymond politely.

Mark looked up at Lu Li's calm eyes, shining with wisdom and confidence, and in the aftermath of his vision, he could see that Randy was still waving his hand persistently, his expression urgent. This scene is some funny, some funny, some ...... The countryside was unfamiliar, unfamiliar to Mark, and had been avoided before, but surprisingly, he did not reject it, but felt a sense of home.

So, Mark nodded, "Please please give me a bowl, okay?"
