After entering the supermarket, Lu Li quickly left Chloe behind, he thought, Chloe needs a little personal space at this time. www.biquge.info didn't expect that Chloe, who usually looks like a big horn, would still be such a little woman in these aspects.

Forgetting the little accident just now, Lu Li began to look for the ingredients for dinner.

There are very few small supermarkets in the United States, and almost all of them are large supermarket chains, which are divided into various regions and display all the goods in a dazzling manner. This feeling is much more organized, but Lu Li still prefers the traditional market, where the dirty mess is full of strong human touch, a handful of shallots, a little bargaining, this is the fun of life.

Lu Li first went to the meat area, considering the nature of the guests tonight, meat is undoubtedly the top priority - if he could, Lu Li would be happy to prepare a seafood feast, but an inland area like Texas still counts.

Standing in front of the container, Lu Li seriously thought about tonight's menu, a braised pork, a black bean sauce pork ribs, and a potato roast beef...... This must be enough to eat, but will the taste be too heavy? Although it is said that Ke Er and they don't like to eat vegetables, but a table of all-meat feast, just thinking about it in his mind, Lu Li feels that it is too greasy.

The combination of meat and vegetables still has to be appropriate.

However, Lu Li soon realized that the idea of the menu seemed to be too much to take for granted. It's not China/China, it's not even New York, it's just a small town in Texas, and he can't buy a lot of materials, which is also difficult for a good woman to cook without rice. For example, you can't find tempeh here at all, and the tempeh pork ribs are out, so you can only choose sweet and sour pork ribs;

Looking at the neat and clean supermarket in front of me, the vegetable cabinets are arranged very beautifully, with red carrots, green broccoli, bright yellow bell peppers, and light green cabbage...... People with obsessive-compulsive disorder will definitely be happy when they stand here, but Lu Li is starting to miss New York for the first time - although there is not everything in Chinatown, most of the ingredients can be bought, and it seems that next time he should go to the big city to shop for goods.

After buying meat, Lu Li bought two large cabbages and prepared to make a dry pot cabbage. If he stir-fried a dish of garlic baby cabbage, it is estimated that no one will want to eat it tonight, so it will take a little ingenuity. After a patchwork of work, I finally bought all the ingredients for dinner.

However, he couldn't find the spice cabinet in front of him, but Lu Li was dumbfounded.

First, I didn't see soy sauce, God, there was no soy sauce in the supermarket, only RB soy sauce for dipping sashimi, not to mention the difference between dark soy sauce and light soy sauce;

If you don't have soy sauce, it's a big deal not to make braised sauce, as for dry pot...... The dry pot cabbage without any color came to mind, and Lu Li couldn't help but roll his eyes, he had given up the lazy method of bean paste, and now he didn't even have oyster sauce and soy sauce, which was also drunk.

But without live yeast and baking soda, what would he do for breakfast!

Tonight's dinner doesn't matter, but Lu Li originally thought that he would take advantage of tonight's cooking efforts to make steamed buns by the way, which can be used as breakfast tomorrow. But now that I think about it, there is no live yeast and baking soda, and there is no steamer, and this bun and fritters are probably about to say goodbye.

With a long sigh, Lu Li looked worried. Why don't you send it to your family? Is it really good to make such a big fuss just for breakfast?

"Sir, may I have anything to help you?" The supermarket staff looked at Lu Li standing in front of the condiment shelf and sighed, but after all, he couldn't hold back and came forward to ask.

Lu Li had already decided to give up, because these Chinese/Chinese special ingredients can basically only be found in Chinatowns in big cities, especially on the east and west coasts. A central region like Texas has a very limited degree of internationalization. But after thinking about it, I didn't lose a piece of meat if I asked, so I said, "I'm looking for soy sauce, baking soda, and live yeast." ”

Then Lu Li saw the staff member's bewildered expression, which was really so joyful, that Lu Li couldn't help laughing, laughed directly, waved his hand, and relieved the other party, "It's okay, it's me asking too much, you don't have to worry." ”

But the other party was stunned, and then it suddenly dawned on him, "Oh, you mean those Chinese food, right?" For Americans, soy sauce is equivalent to Asian food, because their cuisine will never be used, and the most representative is undoubtedly RB's sushi and most Chinese/Chinese cuisine.

Lu Li's eyes lit up, "What, do you know where to sell?"

"Haha, we don't have one here. The staff smiled and waved their hands, finally matching Lu Li's Asian face with Chinese/Chinese identity, "However, on Stanley Street, there is a Chinese/Chinese restaurant, you can go over and ask where they bought it." ”

"There are Chinese/Chinese restaurants here, too?" Lu Li was a little surprised, if it was a big city like Austin, it wouldn't be surprising, but in a small town like New Bronfels, it would be amazing.

"Of course. The staff smiled widely, "Lao Li is a very good guy." As he spoke, he also put on a Li/Xiao/Long starting pose.

Lu Li suddenly realized, and his eyes fell on the staff member's badge, "Mike, thank you for your help!"

"No, no. The staff member named Mike smiled and said, "Welcome to Texas!"

After getting the effective information, Lu Li decided to try his luck in the past, and according to Mike's instructions, four blocks away, he found the Chinese/Chinese restaurant called "Zhong/Guolong".

Once, Lu Li wondered why the names of Chinese/Chinese restaurants in New York are almost the same, most of them are related to dragons, and most of them are related to pandas recently.

Later, when I interviewed the city hall, I learned that because the variety of Chinese/Chinese restaurant names is too strange, it is a huge pressure for Americans, they simply don't know how to choose, and it is also a headache when it comes to industrial and commercial registration. Later, the city hall simply stipulated that before opening a Chinese/Chinese restaurant, the official will provide a list of names, and the legal representative will select and confirm the registration before registration. In other words, these names are actually officially formulated.

So, when I opened the Chinese/Chinese restaurant in New York, it was all about dragons and the like. This made Lu Li complain powerlessly, "The names of each restaurant are so similar, and the difference is so small, aren't Americans more unclear?"

At this time, "Zhong/Guolong" was in business, Lu Li walked in directly, and a middle-aged woman in a flower shirt immediately greeted her, "Welcome, dinner hasn't started yet, is there anything I can help you with?"

Lu Li thought for a while, "Huh...... I am Chinese. After speaking, the other party immediately showed joy and said in Chinese, "Are you an international student or a tourist? It's really rare to meet compatriots here." She turned around and shouted, "Lao Li, Lao Li, a fellow is coming." ”

Such an enthusiastic appearance is very different from New York, which makes Lu Li relax a little.

"Auntie, hello, my name is Lu Li, I just moved here recently, and I plan to settle here. Lu Li took the initiative to introduce himself.

"Settle down?" her smile widened, "that's even more rare, my kid didn't want to come here before, he hated that it was too remote, and insisted on going to Los Angeles." Next time, I'll tell him that we still have fellow villagers who have come here to settle here. By the way, my name is Liu Xiaoyan, I have been in the United States for nearly ten years, and I have been here for nearly five years. ”

"Who?" As he spoke, a middle-aged man came out of the kitchen inside, with a neatly trimmed beard and no shrewdness of a businessman, but with the elegance of a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. Lu Li guessed that it should be someone from Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

"This is my family's son, Li Huainan, call him Lao Li Chengcheng. Liu Xiaoyan is a person with a very refreshing personality, neatly beckoned Lu Li to sit down, and poured him a cup of jasmine tea, but then reacted, "This is not good tea, come, let me take out the good old gentleman eyebrows in the refrigerator." ”

"Auntie, no need. Lu Li felt a little embarrassed, but Liu Xiaoyan had already walked in quickly, and Lu Li looked at Li Huainan and was a little helpless.

Li Huainan waved his hand, "It's okay, let her go." There is not a single villager here all year round, and there are not even many tourists. If you go to Austin, it's more. It is rare to see Chinese/Chinese, and she is also happy. Li Huainan sat down opposite Lu Li, "So, you came here to settle here?"

"Yes, I went to college in New York and recently decided to come and live here. I live in the suburb of Beech Ranch, which is now called Cloud Ranch. Lu Li said simply, being able to see fellow villagers here, in fact, Lu Li was also a little happy.

"After that, it was not easy to move around a lot, and it was not easy to find someone to talk to here. If you are homesick, come here, Uncle Li will cook you a hometown meal, then there is no problem. Li Huainan didn't make a fuss, but his crisp words also revealed a hint of intimacy.

"Speaking of which, I'm here to consult with you today. Lu Li took the opportunity to speak, "I want to cook, but I can't buy any ingredients, I want to ask you, where did you buy it?"

"Hey, I'm going to Austin. Before Li Huainan's words were finished, Liu Xiaoyan walked out again, "What do you want, tell us, and we'll get it for you." ”

"What's so embarrassing about this?" The stranger who met for the first time, Lu Li still didn't think it was good.

"You lad, how much can you take. Liu Xiaoyan's straightforward words made Lu Li laugh, "Besides, we run a restaurant, and a little seasoning is no problem." I'll give you some emergency today, and then you come over another day and ask Uncle Li to take you to Austin to buy it. You're a young man, you've just come here, you're not familiar with people, and those cowboys in Texas are very cunning, maybe they'll trick you. ”

Lu Li remembered the costume of a competitive cowboy, and couldn't help laughing.
