Lu Li put the dinner plate aside, stood up and walked to the side with Lily, "What's wrong, what's wrong?" Lu Li couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Lily patted Lu Li's arm and said with a smile, "It's okay, there are no accidents." Lu Li exhaled, but still didn't dare to relax, "I just want to ask, is it not enough to prepare for tonight's cooking?" If you need to, you can take the buns and steam them......
Before Lily's words were finished, Lu Li patted his head, "Look at my memory, I'm too busy to get dizzy." ”
Lily is worried about Lu Li, she is not well prepared tonight, just hand-grabbed mutton, boiled live fish and dumplings, which is not enough to feed everyone's stomachs, not to mention, even if there are no potatoes, not even corn, this is really not enough to satisfy hunger. Texas isn't a big city like New York or Los Angeles, where people are polite, they're always very reserved at parties, maybe they eat a little bit and say they're full, and then go back and have a pizza or a burger, and here, people want to be able to fill their stomachs at the party.
This is Lu Li's first time preparing for a party, and it is inevitable that there will be some omissions, so Lily took the initiative to come over to remind him.
Looking at Lily's puzzled expression, Lu Li stepped forward, gave her a big hug, patted her on the back, and affectionately expressed his gratitude, "Don't worry, I won't make everyone hungry." ”
Tonight's staple food is called flower chicken. After a busy period just now, Lu Li forgot about it at all, even Ke Er and the others were immersed in the world of boiled live fish, and everyone forgot to call it Huaji. If it weren't for Lily's reminder, the chicken would have been abandoned underground.
"Well, are you going to try something new?" Lu Li said mysteriously to Lily, "You tried another way of making mutton just now, and now let me show you another way of making chicken." ”
Lu Li walked towards the campfire, Lily didn't know why, Chloe, who was sitting next to her, also stood up and asked with her mouth, "Do you need my help?" Lily greeted Chloe, followed Lu Li, and walked forward together.
"Guys, guys!" Lu Li shouted, attracting everyone's attention, and everyone gathered around the campfire one after another, "First of all, thank you for your willingness to come to Yundian Ranch tonight, I was worried that only me and Cole would look at each other tonight, but now it seems that I am obviously thinking too much." ”
The humorous words made everyone laugh, and in the crowd, Jia Siming shouted, "Next party, we will come uninvited, so if it's a private party, you'd better let us know in advance." Brandon, who was standing beside her, also showed a rare gentle smile, which made the laughter even more wanton.
Lu Li spread his hands and said with a smile, "Everyone is welcome at any time!" Looking at everyone's bustling appearance, Lu Li suddenly missed the group of friends in New York, four years of college, although he did not know hundreds of friends, but he did meet some good partners, and now he has a place here, but he has no intention of abandoning his former friends.
"Secondly, I don't know if you liked tonight's dinner, and I refuse to accept negative feedback. Lu Li's bold words caused everyone to whistle and deliberately coax, "But what I can be sure of is that everyone should not have eaten enough." I can still hear my stomach growling, so the real dinner is coming to the table tonight. ”
"Fourteen, was the previous appetizer or what?" Randy couldn't help but ask.
Lu Li raised his chin, "You can use it as the main dish, then you can skip the next dish." Everyone clapped and laughed, Randy touched his nose, and swallowed the words that followed. Lu Li beckoned to Cole and Brandon, "Have you forgotten? ”
"What? What did Fourteen just say?" Ronald was the first to look at Liu Xiaoyan and asked actively.
Liu Xiaoyan was very happy tonight, her cheeks were slightly red, and she looked as if she had drunk some small wine - Sean brought not only whiskey, but also two bottles of red wine, and the friendly and welcoming people made her feel the kindness she had not felt in a long time, "It's called Huaji." Liu Xiaoyan explained, but her English was not so bright, and she didn't know how to explain it, so she could only look at her husband for help.
Li Huainan thought about it and began to explain it in limited words.
On the other hand, Lu Li, Cole, and Brandon had already begun to dig the earth, they were wearing tools, gloves, shovels, and cautiously busy, this scene was really too inconsistent, making everyone's eyes widen. Their food is grown from the land, but they never cook food in the land, if cooked food could be grown in the land...... So is this a fairy tale?
Brandon was the fastest, he pulled out a chicken, then took it aside, and shouted, "Fourteen, you can deal with it." ”
Lu Li was not in a hurry, and after escaping the chicken in his hand, he walked quickly to the table, "Come on, everyone come here, believe me, I won't make everyone hungry." ”
On the table was a dark brown clod of dirt, dry and dusty, that looked like ...... It's just a lump of mud, "Fourteen, isn't this the red clay I brought with you?" Ronald recognized at a glance and cried out in surprise.
"Yes. Lu Li nodded, then took the hammer that Randy brought, and knocked lightly on the outside, the soft soil quickly scattered, revealing the tin foil wrapped inside, and then after sweeping away the soil, the tin foil was torn apart, and the rich aroma suddenly filled the air, and almost everyone began to swallow their saliva, as if they hadn't eaten anything at all tonight.
The light brown chicken with a faint golden luster, it seems to be a little dry, rough at first glance there is nothing special at all, it looks like a roast chicken bought in an American supermarket, but the fresh but not strong spice taste is really tempting/human, people can't help but want to taste it.
"Fourteen, this ...... How do you eat this?" Jessica asked, looking up, a little impatient.
Lu Li raised his head and looked left and right, he originally wanted to cut and eat it like a Thanksgiving turkey, but after thinking about it, they don't need to be so civilized, don't they?" "If you don't mind, you can just tear it off and eat it, but it's hot......"
Before the words could be spoken, Randy had already grabbed a chicken leg and pulled it straight down - he had learned to be obedient this time, and he had a piece of tin foil in his hand, so it didn't get burned, and the chicken was torn open when he tore it. Surprisingly, he not only ripped off his thighs, but also ripped off his entire lower body, and it can be seen that the chicken has been simmering in the soil for so long, it seems that it is a little too rotten, and even the bones are scattered, but the steaming smoke suddenly rises, and the tempting aroma bursts out of a mushroom cloud, which really makes people's appetite move.
Justin stepped forward and tore a piece and handed it to Finley, and Justin stepped forward to tear a piece, and Ronald was already half a beat slower...... But then, Lu Li had already knocked on the second chicken next to him, so everyone dispersed and began to tear the chicken with their bare hands.
Ronald carefully stuffed a piece of chicken into his mouth, tender and juicy, not at all as dry as it seemed on the surface, the mellow taste completely entered the chicken, and there was even some fat, which left a fragrant taste on the lips and teeth when chewed; more importantly, the smell of very strong spices, in fact, was not heavy at all, did not lose the texture of the chicken itself, but added a special taste, which made people almost swallow their tongues.
"God!" Ronald couldn't help but exclaim, looked up at Lily, and wanted to say something, but after all, he couldn't find the right adjective, so he could only say again, "God!"
Lily also ate a piece of chicken breast, and her expression lit up completely, "Fourteen, what the hell did you do to it?"
"Fourteen, you say, can turkey do this on Thanksgiving?" Jia Simin asked curiously, traditional American families will enjoy turkey on Thanksgiving, but they generally use the oven to make it, and the preparation method is not easy to taste, so the turkey meat is always drier, "This chicken ...... The taste is really good!" As he spoke, Jia Siming couldn't help but take another bite, sucking his thumb and looking greedy.
"I'm not sure. Lu Li hadn't tried it, but he knew that in fact, the meat of the turkey itself was relatively dry and astringent, and it couldn't be compared with ordinary chicken. Still, if you give it a try, you might find something to discover.
In the blink of an eye, Brandon and Cole dug up all ten chickens, and Lily was immediately amused, "I was worried about everyone's hunger just now, but now it seems that everyone had better be careful and not eat too much." Everyone laughed.
Li Huainan and Liu Xiaoyan were even more surprised, "You still know how to live." Liu Xiaoyan admired, "In the future, when the two of us are free, we will come to you to eat, and by the way, ride horses, fish or something." "In fact, the dishes such as boiled live fish and flower chicken are not too complicated to make, but they don't usually toss these at all.
I didn't expect that after coming to the United States for so many years, I really tasted the taste of my hometown in the land-based ranch - as for the cuisine in their restaurant, it had to be adjusted according to the taste of Americans, and naturally it was no longer pure.
"Haha, if you don't mind, of course I'm welcome. Lu Li laughed heartily, "There are potatoes, corn and the like under the campfire, and those who are interested can dig them out with a shovel, and it should taste very good." ”
As soon as these words came out, Jessica and Randy trotted all the way over, and Lily couldn't help but sigh, "Your tricks are really endless." ”
"No, that's all for tonight. Lu Li had an innocent expression on his face, "Actually, it's just four dishes, isn't it?" Now, I need to drink a bowl of mutton soup and eat some dumplings." Lu Li patted his stomach, "I'm the poor man who is hungry and panicked." The self-deprecating ridicule caused everyone to burst into laughter.
