Chapter 17: The Chef
Liu Wenqing has experienced this incident, and it is very obvious that she is a little mature, and she is not as ignorant of the world as before. It is true that people have to go through something before they can grow. Looking at Liu Wenqing's little face, which already had a hint of calmness, Xie Bin smiled slightly and replied, "It's in the Luyuan community." ”
"Green Garden Community, do you live alone?" Xue Yuying hurriedly asked.
"That's right, I can't find anyone to share a house, so I'll live alone for the time being," Xie Bin could only continue to make it up, if he let them know that there was a beautiful woman living two days ago, maybe they would ask some other questions. After speaking, Xie Bin hurriedly changed the topic: "What, today is a good day, and I made a small fortune, how about inviting you to dinner?" Enjoying the light? ”
"Cut, is this still a small fortune?" Xue Yuying snorted again.
Xie Bin was sweaty, and quickly changed his words: "It's wrong, it's a big fortune, a big fortune, let's go, I'll have a treat." ”
"Forget it, you should keep this money for your daughter-in-law," Xue Yuying waved her hand, "If you are really sincere, invite us to your house for dinner, I heard Wenwen say that your cooking skills are also very good, how about it?" ”
"Well, okay, as long as you don't dislike it, you're ready to wait." Xie Bin thought that he had just learned a few new dishes, and he was worried that he could not find diners, since you were happy, he didn't care about using you as an experiment, trying what level his cooking skills had reached.
Xue Yuying slapped her palms and said with a smile: "Okay, it's decided, I'll go to your house this afternoon and get ready early." ”
Xie Bin nodded hurriedly, what else do you have to prepare for this? Just buy some ingredients, well, you have to buy some drinks or something.
On the way back, Xie Bin bought a bunch of ingredients in the supermarket, fish, meat, eggs, vegetables, wine, and drinks. Fortunately, Xie Bin had the necklace space to help, so he put some things down in the space while he didn't pay attention, and then carried some of them as cover, so he went back easily.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Xie Bin prepared everything that should be prepared, and just when it was time for someone to get out of the pot, Xue Yuying called, "Xie Bin, wait for two more guests, prepare more dishes." ”
"Wait, wait, what's the guest?" As soon as Xie Bin heard this, he had only prepared dishes for three people, but suddenly added two more, so he had to prepare more, if it was a man, he would have to add some more wine. This time, I only thought that I would celebrate quietly with Liu Wenqing and Xue Yuying, but now that there are two people suddenly, Xie Bin is inevitably a little surprised. You know, Xie Bin didn't even notify Li Xiaojun.
"It's Yu Fei and Li Jingjing, you know, right?" Xue Yuying smiled and said, "Two big beauties, are you not satisfied?" ”
What else could Xie Bin say, he quickly replied: "Satisfied, satisfied!" ”
"Humph! Pervert! Xue Yuying listened to Xie Bin's answer and hung up the phone.
Xie Bin was stunned for a moment, and then was speechless, this girl would even trick people, and let him unknowingly fall for a trick.
Since there are still two girls coming, Xie Bin naturally wants to add vegetables. The amount of food for girls is not large, but five people can't eat four dishes, so Xie Bin deliberately reduced the amount.
What to do? If it's too troublesome to dish, it will definitely be too busy, well, there are a lot of dishes in Xie Bin's mind, and he soon thought of a convenient, quick and unique dish.
At five o'clock, Liu Wenqing, Xue Yuying, Yu Fei, and Li Jingjing felt it together. The moment he opened the door, looking at the four girls of Yingying Yanyan, Xie Bin suddenly felt that life was really beautiful. It's a pleasure to gather four girls with different characteristics just to watch.
Xue Yuying doesn't need to say much, she is charming and heroic; Liu Wenqing is youthful and natural; Yu Fei is very lively; As for Li Jingjing, it is a very seductive intellectual beauty, this kind of beauty is even more tempting than Xue Yuying, and people can't help but want to find out.
With a dry cough, Xie Bin hurriedly invited a few people in, "Please come in, sit casually, the food will be ready soon." ”
Seeing Xie Bin wearing a cartoon apron, Xue Yuying couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile, "It's really a family cook, haha." ”
Liu Wenqing also quipped: "Well, Brother Xie is the most powerful, but the apron is a little smaller." ”
Yu Fei and Li Jingjing also snickered quietly, they were not too familiar with Xie Bin, so they finally didn't joke with Xie Bin.
Xie Bin shrugged, this apron was bought by Chen Minhan, but it is estimated that he has not used it once. Xie Bin saw that there were ready-made ones, so he didn't buy them again, and Chen Minhan didn't take them with him when she left, and it is estimated that she doesn't need instant noodles every day.
Xue Yuying was the first to walk in, sniffling with her hands behind her back, and looking around, "It's quite neat, it can't be cleaned today, right?" ”
"Uh, you really guessed it, it was just cleaned today," Xie Bin didn't say nonsense. After Chen Minhan moved out, the room seemed a little empty, but Xie Bin spent a lot of effort to decorate it, especially when he dressed Chen Minhan's bedroom as his own collection room. There are no good things in the collection room, just the dozen or so fine objects that Xie Bin has preserved. The other thing is to replace the more feminine decorations in the living room, and then wipe the floor and clean the windowsill or something, and I was busy for hours.
"No, how can it smell like a woman? There won't be a big beautiful woman living there, right? Kanaya Zangjiao? Xue Yuying's nose is really sensitive, Xie Bin has specially cleaned it, and she can still smell it.
"What, the previous tenant was a woman, and I only moved out the day before I moved in," Xie Bin hurriedly made up, but he couldn't let them know about Chen Minhan, otherwise he would definitely break the casserole and ask to the end.
Xue Yuying turned around twice, nodded with satisfaction, and waved her hand with a very leading style, "Yes, hurry up and cook, I'm hungry after climbing such a tall building." ”
Xie Bin sweated, this sister regards this place as their home, you're welcome. However, this attitude of getting along makes Xie Bin like it even more, this is the way to get along with people. Don't look at Xie Bin, who is generally polite and able to speak well, but he is always a stranger or a friend who is generally friendly. Like Xue Yuying and Li Xiaojun, friends who have a good relationship, he is also very casual. After all, it's very tiring to pretend all day, where is it so natural to get along with friends.
Chef Xie Bin was wielding this shovel to stir-fry and cook in the kitchen, and several girls wandered around unceremoniously, especially Xue Yuying, who unceremoniously searched around the room, as if to find some evidence of a crime, and even the bathroom was not spared. Fortunately, Chen Minhan took away all her personal belongings when she left, otherwise Xie Bin would not be able to explain if he was really reasonable.
A few girls chattered and whispered, Xie Bin listened intently in the kitchen, but unfortunately he couldn't hear anything, only the occasional burst of laughter.
Half an hour later, under Xie Bin's skillful hands, a table of dishes was freshly baked. Liu Wenqing ran to the kitchen to help, but unfortunately she was just a clumsy girl, and she didn't play a big role except for serving dishes.
A table of dishes is not too difficult, but it is not easy either, especially in the family.
The simplest is a plate of sour and spicy shredded potatoes. Not to mention the shredded potatoes, the color is bright, and the red, green and yellow colors are very carefully matched, especially the shredded potatoes, green peppers, and shredded peppers are cut very evenly.
The second dish is Xie Bin's newly learned hibiscus crucian carp. The work of this fish is relatively simple, but the taste and appearance are absolutely first-class, no worse than those in big stores, and even more beautiful. Don't forget what Xie Bin does, with a shovel, a dish becomes a plate of flowers. The plasticity of this hibiscus crucian carp is very high, and Xie Bin casually molded a few simple patterns on the egg white on the edge of the plate, which seems to be much stretched; The seasonings such as green peppers and red peppers are very carefully arranged, like two beautiful roses.
The third course is braised mackerel. Mackerel is a dish that is very popular among the people of the island city, whether it is a dignitary or a common person, the price is not too expensive but not cheap, especially now is the fishing ban period, the price is even higher. The most important thing for this braised fish is the heat, the soup should be even, and the color should be bright. Coupled with a few sprigs of coriander sprinkled by Xie Bin, a plate of ordinary braised fish is very beautiful.
The fourth course is a vegetarian dish, mapo tofu. This dish looks simple, but it is not easy for the chef to be in charge. Because the tofu is relatively tender, the force should be very uniform and light, and the current tofu is not as easy to break as before, so it is more difficult to make. But is Xie Bin's hand an ordinary hand? A plate of bright red and oily mapo tofu exuded an enticing aroma, and Xie Bin himself was very satisfied.
The fifth course is a local dish - prawns. This is an authentic local dish that is often eaten by the people of the island city. If you want to eat crayfish, it is the strongest of the Han warriors, but this shrimp has to be eaten in the Jiaodong area, especially the island city. This dish is boiled over low heat, the juice is reduced on high heat, and the color is bright after it comes out of the pot, and the appearance is attractive. In addition, Xie Bin also carved a few flowers with white radish and decorated them in the middle and around the prawns. This radish flower is not pretty, but can be eaten with prawns. The people of the island city have always loved to eat radish, and if they are dipped in some soup, the taste is even more delicious. Of course, the combination of red prawns and green and white radish is also particularly eye-catching.
The sixth dish was thought up by Xie Bin on an improvised basis, stewed chicken nuggets with onions. The recipe for this dish is very simple, Xie Bin soaks the chicken pieces with lactose salt and other seasonings for half an hour, then puts the onion cut and puts it at the bottom of the rice cooker, and then puts the chicken pieces on the onion pieces with the chicken skin side down, press the button of the rice cooker, and wait until it trips and then simmer for a while. This is Xie Bin's first attempt, but the effect is very good, both the color and the taste are very good.
The last is a pot of tomato egg soup, needless to say, Xie Bin often makes it when he is alone, and sometimes he doesn't even use vegetables, buy two steamed buns and burn a pot of egg soup for dinner.
As soon as the dishes were served, several girls were amazed. Not to mention anything else, this appearance alone is enough to make people amazed. On the dining table, the red, red, green and green dishes are particularly eye-catching, coupled with the steaming heat and bursts of aroma, before the chopsticks are put down, the saliva is about to flow out.
Yu Fei took advantage of the fact that everyone was still seated, so she took the lead in sandwiching a piece of mapo tofu and putting it in her mouth. However, this mapo tofu is the penultimate out of the pot, and it is still a little hot, and the girl inhales and vaguely praises: "It's delicious." "I don't see that she's a spicy eater.
Xue Yuying snorted and snorted: "I can't see it, this skill is quite good, whoever marries you will be blessed." ”
Yu Fei listened to it and quipped: "Sister Ying, wouldn't it be good if you married Brother Xie, he married a beautiful daughter-in-law, and you married a considerate husband." ”
"Be dead, Yu Fei, talk nonsense again, be careful to tear your mouth," Xue Yuying's willow eyebrows were upside down, and she clenched her fists to make a move.
Yu Fei hurriedly begged for mercy: "Don't, Sister Ying is magnanimous, let me finish this meal and tear it up." ”
