Chapter 16 The Iceberg of Cooking
In the eyes of the heartbroken uncle who was watching, where is this "playing badminton", it is completely Lu Ze playing "throwing badminton" with Qiao Qiao for more than half an hour! Qiaoqiao, who usually jogs for an hour, did exercise about the same, resting on his knees, indicating that Lu Ze could really play squash by himself.
Lu Ze nodded and returned to the squash court with his equipment. The boss uncle also followed them back to the squash court and watched from outside the glass back wall with Qiaoqiao. Last time, Qiao Qiao came late, and only saw Lu Ze's fierce right-handed skills, but this time he appreciated the whole process and found that his left-handed skills were not far behind.
The uncle squinted in appreciation, and Qiao Qiao, who was sitting on the side drinking water and resting, praised: "Your boyfriend is playing really well, and his body is good." Last time, it was an hour and a half left-handed, and an hour and a half right-handed, both of which are very strong, and it's a pity that I am not a professional athlete. ”
Qiao Qiao's face was black, which could only be attributed to the uncle's bad memory, and explained: "Boss, I said it last time, ordinary friends." ”
"Well, ordinary friends, ordinary friends." The uncle looked at Qiao Qiao, who was sitting and resting and panting, because the young girl was shy, and pointed to Lu Ze's various technical actions to Qiao Qiao as a free live commentary.
This time, Qiao Qiao didn't wait too long, and Lu Ze stopped for an hour, packed his things and prepared to come out to find her. The uncle smiled and said to Qiao Qiao: "Today, my little boyfriend can't do it, it's only been an hour." ”
Qiao Qiao held his forehead, "Ordinary friends!" And he didn't sleep all night yesterday, and he won't die for another three hours. ”
When the uncle who enjoyed an exhibition game left humming a little tune, he remembered that the young man was very cold, so he didn't go up to talk again. Don't bother the young people, don't you say you didn't sleep all night last night, hehe.
Lu Ze was obviously in a much brighter mood after exercising, this time the physical consumption was not too big, and he didn't go to sleep like the last time he got in the car and closed his eyes, and chatted with Qiaoqiao from time to time. When passing by the vendors selling fireworks and firecrackers, Lu Ze also called Qiaoqiao to stop and take a look.
The two got out of the car, and Qiao Qiao asked Lu Ze with a smile: "Do you like firecrackers?" "Since her cousin Qiao Xuan went to Australia, there are no children at home for the New Year, and she herself has not remembered much about setting off firecrackers during the New Year for several years, but she didn't expect Lu Ze to like it.
Lu Ze looked back at her and responded, "General." Don't you like it? ”
Qiaoqiao shook her head, "It's not a child again." ”
"Didn't you like it when you were a kid?"
Hearing Lu Ze's words, he remembered that Qiao Qiao's expression was slightly gloomy in the past, and he shook his head for a long time before he smiled: "I didn't like it even more when I was a child, have you ever seen those naughty little boys, holding small firecrackers in their hands and throwing them where there are people, the more afraid the little girl is, the happier she is." ”
Lu Ze frowned slightly and asked her, "Did you ever hurt you?" Do their parents care? ”
Qiao Qiao smiled and shook his head, "It's not strict, it's a small injury, and it will be fine in a few days." No one in that place cares about the little boy, and he thinks it's normal to be naughty. ”
Lu Ze didn't ask, picked out some beautiful large fireworks, and explained: "Tomorrow Chinese New Year's Eve, it should be beautiful to put it on the beach at night, bring the old people to be happy, I'll do some." ”
Hearing Lu Ze emphasize that he was going to light fireworks, Qiao Qiao smiled and said: "That was when I was a child, and I'm not afraid now, I'll order the same." "I'm not a child, I'm afraid of what is the use of this kind of affection, and I have to do what I have to do.
The two hugged a bunch of fireworks and returned to the car, Qiao Qiao saw that there were many restaurants on the side of the nearby seafood market, remembering that Lu Ze only ate a few slices of toast and hot milk in the morning, and only filled a few bottles of functional drinks during exercise, and asked him if he wanted to eat something first, Lu Ze nodded.
The two of them set off the fireworks and decided to go to the seafood market to forage for food, and finally found a shop that processed seafood on site with a lot of local diners. There are pens and notebooks on each table in this small restaurant, and diners can write them down and hand them over the list.
Jojo, who had a great appetite after exercising, flipped through the menu and wanted to order everything. I want to eat the spicy one, the steamed one, the fried green onion and ginger, the garlic flavor, the shrimp and crab, the abalone oysters are also good, the clams seem to be very fat, but the sea urchin is also very fresh! Cuttlefish porridge as a staple food seems to be very nourishing to the stomach!
Qiao Qiao held his cheeks and hesitated to think about it, wrote and scratched and revised it, and finally picked the part he wanted to eat the most and wrote it, and the seafood was not fresh when he packed it home.
When Qiao Qiao finished writing and looked up, she and Lu Ze ordered separately on a piece of paper, Lu Ze's paper was still empty, Qiao Qiao was stunned, "Don't you order?" ”
"Now." Lu Ze reached out and took the paper she had written, and quickly wrote it and sent it to the counter.
When the dishes were served, Qiao Qiao found that Lu Ze had given the parts she crossed out that were not "most" wanted to eat but "second" as his order.
"It's okay, I don't have anything special to eat, it's all pretty much the same." Lu Ze replied lightly, brought two empty bowls, and divided the food into two.
Qiao Qiao politely thanked her, and took the share given to her from Lu Ze, and felt that the painting style was a little wrong for a while, how could she feel that Lu Ze had slowly deviated from her initial impression.
Well, maybe it's because he sent away the noisy family of the Gao family, and he can have a clean Spring Festival, and he is very happy?
Then Qiao Qiao thought that this seemed to be the first time she had eaten alone with Lu Ze. Although Qiaoqiao usually finds some topics to talk about casually, so that he is not too cold, but think about Lu Ze may not like to chat? She lowered her head and tasted the food.
As a result, Lu Ze looked happy when he saw her eating, and first opened his mouth to find the topic, "Do you like seafood very much?" ”
Qiao Qiao, who was going to eat without saying a word, raised his head and bit his spoon to think about Lu Ze's question, "Actually, I also like everything, but I am a little limited to the Chinese stomach, I like everything from Sichuan cuisine, Cantonese cuisine and Hunan cuisine, but I don't like foreign cuisine very much, from Southeast Asian cuisine to Western food, every time I used to go on a business trip, I was quite devastated." ”
Listening to Qiao Qiao's words, Lu Ze looked around the seafood market and said in a deep voice: "Tomorrow night Chinese New Year's Eve, don't come out to eat, make seafood at home?" ”
Qiao Qiao followed and looked around, and shook her head resolutely, the old people are old, she doesn't want them to work hard to cook, and she doesn't like to cook, can't cook, doesn't want to cook, would rather pay for it to eat. And let her deal with seafood, forget it, people still have to admit that they have weaknesses, except for ball games, she must seriously admit that she only loves cooked seafood, and she is afraid of raw seafood...... For example, she loves dead crabs, but she resolutely refuses to catch live crabs......
Seeing Qiao Qiao's expression staring at the crab claws and shrimp claws with a sad face, Lu Ze smiled lightly, lowered his head and scooped the porridge to eat, "I will do it, I will do it." ”
Hearing this, Qiao Qiao bit the spoon and looked at Lu Ze very much, Mr. Lu, really didn't see the level of being able to make a table of seafood dinner Chinese New Year's Eve?
"I'm home alone, so I'm okay cooking." Lu Ze explained.
"I'm at home alone, so the fancy instant noodle craft is okay." Jojo pointed to himself.
The corners of Lu Ze's lips raised slightly, "After eating, I went to buy seafood, and it was cleaner to vomit sand for a day than to eat outside." ”
Qiao Qiao became more and more sure that Lu Ze would definitely be able to have a clean Spring Festival, so he was in a very good mood.
After eating, Qiao Qiao followed Lu Ze to the market, and found that he was really good at picking seafood, Lu Ze explained: "I took them to the island last time, so I am more familiar." ”
After Lu Ze finished choosing, he handed the bought seafood to the stall owner, and Qiao Qiao, who was in charge of finance, took his wallet and went over to pay the bill, and the stall owner's aunt smiled while looking for money: "You look at it as a married couple, only men will pay if they fall in love, married people are all wives who pay the bills, and the young man is handsome and pays the salary card, good husband!" ”
Regarding the aunt's brain supplement, Qiao Qiao hurriedly waved his hand to explain, "Ordinary friend, it's just that his money is put here for me......"
Looking at the stall owner's aunt's obvious disbelief in "It's just that he put the money here", Qiao Qiao thought to himself, forget it, what should I explain here...... Love misunderstanding, misunderstanding......
And for this kind of misunderstanding and ridicule from strangers, Lu Ze didn't even raise his head, ignored it, and kept standing next to him with his things and waiting for Qiao Qiao to pay the money before going to the next one.
Qiao Qiao collected the money, and after thinking about it, it was not good to be so misunderstood, anyway, now there are three people on one side, everything they buy is divided equally, and it is convenient to keep accounts, so they simply pay the money directly to Lu Ze.
Moved to the next stall, and the stall owner's uncle saw Lu Ze carrying things and picking seafood and being responsible for paying, and said with emotion: "Hey, now men come to buy vegetables and cook and pay, and it's not easy for a man to marry a daughter-in-law!" ”
Qiao Qiao was in a trance for a while, and he didn't bother to explain it, anyway, Lu Ze had an expressionless face, and he wouldn't misunderstand anything.
After buying it all the way, Lu Ze's two hands were full of loot before it was called a day.
When the two people drove home full of harvest, the fireworks were placed in a row in the corridor outside the house, and the fish and seafood were raised, and the old man was surprised and surprised to learn that Lu Ze was going to cook for Chinese New Year's Eve, and the house was full of harmonious atmosphere and excitement for the New Year.
Qiao Qiao saw that Lu Ze was still opening the refrigerator to check whether the food stock was enough, and hurriedly urged him to go upstairs to make up for sleep.
Lu Ze shook his head, "Let's sleep again at night, I can't sleep at night now, and I still can't adjust my schedule and rest." ”
Qiao Qiao remembered that the boss uncle said when he left that the squash court was closed from Chinese New Year's Eve to the seventh day of the first year, and the eighth day of the first year was closed, and he couldn't help but frown slightly, Lu Ze, a person who can only fall asleep with high-intensity excessive exercise, is estimated to continue to have insomnia during the Spring Festival?
Lu Ze hummed in a low voice, "It's okay, I'll talk about it then." "Big deal, he still has sleeping pills.
The next day was Chinese New Year's Eve, Lu Ze jingled in the kitchen for a few hours, and really made a table of New Year's dinner full of color and fragrance. The only regret is that Lu Ze rummaged through the kitchen that day, and there was only one apron printed with the famous big yellow duck here. Grandma Zhao happily called Qiaoqiao to teach her how to use her smartphone to take pictures, but as soon as Qiaoqiao went to the kitchen, the big yellow duck apron was destroyed by Lu Ze's expressionless corpse, and she failed to leave a commemorative photo.
