When he got home, there was no one at home, Jing Xi asked Benjamin to wait in the living room, afraid that Benjamin would be bored, Jing Xi specially made him a cup of tea, using jasmine tea dried in the space, the aroma was fresh and pleasant, and he turned on the TV, and then put on his apron and entered the kitchen. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Because she needed to cook for two, Jing Xi decided to make four dishes and one soup, and the food was too greasy during the Chinese New Year, so she made a meat dish and boiled pork slices.

Vegetarian dishes include pine nut corn, celery lily, artichoke rub, and soup is cabbage in soup.

The recipe was ordered, and Jing Xi began to work.

Wash the rice first and steam the rice.

The dishes are all taken from the space, and they are processed in advance, and all Jing Xi has to do is to fry them in the pot.

Her cooking this time is even easier than last time, because there is a step-by-step guidance from Zhizhi next to her.

Add a little water to the pot, put a little sugar, blanch the corn until cooked after the water is boiled, then take it out and let it cool, drain the water for later use, do not put oil in the wok, directly stir the pine nuts fragrant, and put them out.

Heat the pot, put oil, stir-fry the green and red peppers cut into small dices and stir-fry half-cooked, stir-fry the corn kernels, add salt, stir-fry evenly over high heat and then get out of the pot, then sprinkle the fried pine nuts, garnish with the little squirrel carved with carrots, and the sweet pine nut corn is ready.

Celery lily is made of fine and crisp celery, white as jade, plump and fresh lily, after Jing Xi's skillful hands, the method is simple, the taste is particularly pleasant, only one kind of seasoning is used, salt, the taste is endless, the fragrance is overflowing, looking at this fresh green, plain and elegant white, people feel the breath of spring.

Artichoke rubbing is simpler, the main thing is to master the heat.

Finally, the soup is cabbage, and the soup is made of chicken soup left over from Aunt He's stewed chicken on Chinese New Year's Eve, which is frozen in the jar outside the kitchen.

The white and fragrant rice, the colorful pine nut corn, the celery lily like an emerald, the golden aroma of the artichoke, and the clear and elegant cabbage in the soup, the four dishes and one soup make people appetize.

Benjamin tasted every dish and couldn't stop, Jing Xi talked to him, and he just "Uh-huh!" ”

The two of them, sweeping the dishes cleanly, Benjamin rubbed his stomach, this was the most comfortable he had eaten since he arrived in China.

It's not that the dishes he ate before were not good, but they were too good.

Not to mention that every day is delicacies from the mountains and seas, but meat accounts for the majority, Benjamin has eaten a stomach full of oil and water, and he still feels that he owes something.

Now Benjamin knows that this is the kind of comfort, which is called eating, and the previous banquet was like wine, which can add color to food, but it cannot be eaten as a meal.

Jing was happy, and she felt that since she met Benjamin and Benoit, she had become much more emotional.

Benjamin knew what Jing Xi was laughing at him, so he only smiled wryly and gave a menu name.

Hearing so many rare and rare ingredients, Jing Xi understood why Benjamin was so rare for such an ordinary dish.

Jing Xi made Benjamin a cup of black tea, and she made herself a cup of goji berry tea.

The color of the black tea soup is bright orange to red, the taste is mellow, the aroma is pure, there are no impurities, and it is unique to red, thick, aged and mellow. Benjamin admired the teacup for a long time before taking a sip slowly, closing his eyes and savoring it slowly.

The British attach great importance to afternoon tea, in addition to delicious snacks, black tea is one of the most important, Benjamin feels that it is obvious that the mellow aroma of black tea is better than that of British black tea. Benjamin did not drink this tea.

"What kind of tea is this. The taste was amazing. ”

In her previous life, Jing Xi couldn't and didn't like to drink tea because of her poor health, and tea was still something she learned about by the way after she studied Chinese medicine.

Coupled with the more complete medical textbooks in the space, Jing Xi's progress in learning Chinese medicine is a rapid progress.

"Black tea, do you like it?" Jing Xi sat on the sofa and picked up a letter on the coffee table, which Jing Xi had just picked up on the ground when he opened the door.

There were no stamps and no seals on the envelope, and the envelope was so clean that there was not even a word.

"I like it!" Benjamin nodded earnestly.

"I'll wrap you up when you're gone."

Jing Xi replied to Benjamin's words, and the envelope had been opened here, and it was a landscape postcard, with words on it, and the font was beautiful:

Jing Xi:

The fifth day of the Lunar New Year is Miss Ben's birthday, and I hereby invite you to attend my birthday party, address ......, time: fifty-one and a half years of the first month, I hope to attend on time.

Jing Xi glanced at the payment and wrote Mei Shuying.

Jing Xi frowned, they didn't know each other, and they still had a grudge, Mei Shuying had a birthday, how could she invite her?

Jing Xi didn't believe that Mei Shuying had suddenly become generous, and she didn't care about herself.

Jing Xi flipped the postcard in his hand and looked at it several times.

"Any questions?" Benjamin could see that something was wrong with Jing Xi.

"Nothing!" Jing Xi threw the postcard aside, she wasn't going to go anyway, what was she thinking about so much.

Finally reborn once, Jing Xi has already figured it out, he wants to live according to his own wishes, and he is not prepared to please anyone or look at his face.

The warm room and mellow tea made the mood of the two very relaxed.

At the beginning, Jing Xi and Benjamin were still looking for a topic, and soon, the two had a topic of interest.

Benjamin's understanding of ballet is very profound, he does not say the sentences in the book that praise ballet, but only his own understanding of ballet.

Benjamin said: "Ballet is not only a performance art, an elegant term, it is an interpretation of life. No art is as perfect as ballet, and there is no art that destroys the body and soul of the dancer at all times. ”

"Every rotation and standing of a ballet dancer gives life to time, and the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of life are perfectly fixed in an eternal time and space."

"Behind the ballet dancer's light dance steps and graceful posture, there are deformed toes and instinctive temptation."

Benjamin saw Jing Xi's somewhat confused eyes, and coughed a few times to hide his embarrassment.

"It's the temptation from the body! Confuse! You'll understand this when you get older. ”

"In short, if you don't have a soul as pure and clean as a white swan, you can't dance the most beautiful ballet, and you can't become a real ballet dancer. It can only be said that it is a ballet dancer. ”

Jing Xi understood Benjamin's words, she was not a real child, she understood what Benjamin meant by instinct.

When ballet dancers perform on stage, both men and women, they wear high-stretch onesies, and all the male and female characteristics can be seen at a glance.

The dancers will have a lot of physical contact during the performance, and the ballet dancers are mostly young boys and girls.
