A few days later, it was time to attend Prince William's paiduì, and at about 11 o'clock in the morning, Lydia drove to London to have lunch with Li Han. From the time she went to Oxford in advance to prepare for the start of school, the two of them hadn't seen each other for half a month, and Li Han specially cooked a big meal for her.

Although Yan Lin was invited to be one of the chefs at the dinner, the quality of the food can at least be guaranteed, but at this kind of banquet on this occasion, no one will really eat and drink, like the kind of person who eats and drinks regardless of everyone's eyes, either the protagonist of the novel or has a problem with his brain. Sometimes it's not that you don't care about other people's evaluations, it's also about family reputation and even national reputation. Li Han and Lydia are not people who can accept some bad comments from others such as "Lance family ......" and "Huangguo people ......", so they can only eat a little at noon, and come back in the evening to find a late night snack.

The meal was earlier than usual, and Lydia needed to go to the full-body spa in the afternoon, with hair treatments, styling and makeup, and she needed to go out early. Although Li Han deliberately made a big table of delicious food, she couldn't eat too much, the dress was prepared a long time ago, if she ate too much, her stomach protruded, not only would it affect the effect of the dress, but it was also very likely that she would not be able to wear the dress, which was a very close-fitting dress with very high requirements for her figure.

"You women are simply masochistic," Li Han shook his head helplessly, "You are willing to do anything for the sake of beauty." ”

Lydia had already put on her coat and was about to go out, she bent down apologetically and kissed Li Han on the face, and said, "I'm sorry, dear." But I have to go, for the sake of me being hungry for an afternoon and a night, can I order food for supper in the evening? ”

Li Han laughed, it was strange that Lydia was willing to eat too much before going to bed, but he still agreed: "No problem, you can say what you want to eat first, if there are no materials at home, I will go out to buy it in the afternoon." ”

Lydia looked at the rain outside and smiled, "I don't know what to order, just watch and do it." It's not easy to get fat and delicious. ”

Li Han also looked at the rain outside. frowned and said, "Do you have to go out?" Can't invite someone into your home to do it? With such a heavy rain, why bother, in fact, if you do less maintenance, it will not damage your beauty. ”

"Thank you for the compliment. My dear. But I think I could be a little prettier. I have to go. See you in the evening, darling. ”

Lydia entered the garage through the side door, but luckily the women's club she frequented had a large underground parking lot. No matter how heavy the rain is today, she won't be able to get wet, otherwise it is really possible to cancel the appointment directly and make a random appearance by yourself.

Li Han is not idle at home, he is a big man, he doesn't have to flip himself, just change into a dress before leaving. He was thinking about a recipe for a late-night snack, which had to be something that Lydia loved to eat, and that was easy to digest, and not that made people fat, so he had to think about it. The main reason is that he only needs to consider whether the two of them like to eat, how can he pay attention to whether it will make people fat?

After thinking about it, Li Han decided to just boil porridge. Porridge is a thing with a weak smell, and there is yin in the yang, so it is light and comfortable, and it is wonderful to sleep after drinking porridge. He chose barley and red bean porridge, which has more dietary fiber, and has good laxative, blood pressure, blood lipid, blood sugar regulation, detoxification and anti-cancer, stone prevention, bodybuilding and weight loss. And barley women eat it with a lot of benefits......

If you soak barley in rice wine, and then mix and drink it with orange juice, lemon juice, apple juice and other fruit juices, it has the effect of strengthening and beautifying the skin, and can cure rough skin, flat skin warts and other symptoms.

Anyway, the porridge doesn't need to be boiled so early, so I just went and got some barley out and ground it into flour, and soaked it in a ratio of 1:4 with the rice wine I brewed last time and didn't drink it. You can drink it after a week, there is no need to rush the fruit juice or something, just drink and squeeze, and the freshly squeezed juice is even better.

It was almost seven o'clock, Lydia finally came back with a radiant face, her dress today was very close-fitting, it was a silver-gray low-V fishtail dress, and the obedient dress showed her graceful curves undoubtedly.

Li Han was putting the soaked barley and red beans into the casserole, and when he saw her, he almost splashed something out of the pot, but fortunately, he was also a person who had been tested by women for a long time, so he quickly calmed down and continued his work.

Porridge is to be boiled slowly over low heat to taste, the taste of the rice cooker and pressure cooker is never right, and there is no fragrance from the casserole. Not to mention the time problem, just one boiling, one boiling shows the gap.

"Honey, it's time for you to change your clothes and get ready." Lydia poked her head over and looked into the pot curiously, "What are you going to cook here?" ”

"Barley and red bean porridge is sweet and easy to digest, and it is also beautiful and beautiful, which is most suitable for women. Let it simmer slowly for two hours, and keep it as you want to drink it when you're done. Li Han said proudly, calculated the time, and instructed Ian, "You start cooking at almost eight o'clock, as long as you boil it, just change it to low heat, and be careful not to let it mush or overflow." If we don't come back by ten o'clock, you turn off the fire, take your things and wait for us to come back. ”

Ian agreed, "I have ironed my dress and hung it in the bedroom, and if I come out in fifteen minutes, I will be able to arrive at Buckingham Palace on time." ”

Li Han just changed his dress, fifteen minutes was more than enough. It's not the first time he's been to Buckingham Palace, it's just that this time is the evening rush hour, and the road is relatively congested, otherwise it would be completely too late to go out at half past seven.

To their surprise, today's banquet was not buffet-style, but sat down around the long and large table. Li Han paid attention to it, there were not many guests, they were all some celebrities, powerful and high-ranking officials, and most of them were known to Li Han.

When the appetizer came up, Li Han was even more surprised. Although it was a platter of four cold dishes today, he dared to say that it must be Yan Lin's craftsmanship - apart from him, Li Han couldn't figure out why William would use other Chinese chefs.

Although there were not many guests, there were about 30 of them, so Yan Lin did not use too time-consuming decoration plates, but carved two bamboo sticks out of cucumbers and placed them on the plates, while the beef and snow-white chicken with black sauce were carved into round pandas, holding a red flower in his hand and grinning and making a gesture of offering flowers. Li Han found that it was not a flower at all, but a carrot that was as thin as a wing.

The lovely and delicious appetizer won the surprise and praise of the guests, and the lady closest to Prince William asked with a smile: "Your Royal Highness, may I ask which national dish you want to invite us to eat today?" It looks so cute, and I look like a panda with this little animal. ”

Another male guest said: "Although I have never seen such a beautiful one, this taste is a bit like Chinese food, but this is the best Chinese food I have ever tasted." The panda on his plate was left with only one body, and there was no sign of the flower, and he had just eaten half of the bamboo before he spoke.

William smiled: "Yes, it's Chinese food." A few days ago, someone recommended me a Chinese chef, and the skills are great, so please try it. Of course, it is impossible to be so enthusiastic that it is not as simple as inviting people to dinner, he just said this, and everyone listened to it, and nodded with a smile on their faces to say that they were very happy to come to this meal.

To the praise of everyone, the empty plate of appetizers was withdrawn and the soup was served. It was still a small bowl, but when everyone looked down, they were all surprised. This soup is completely different from the fragrant soup in Western food, it looks clear and low, and there are no impurities at all, as if it is not soup, but a bowl of water.

Everyone looked at each other, wondering if it would be too embarrassing if it was really water when they tasted it. Li Han had no doubts, he directly took a spoon and scooped it up, blew it gently, and put it in his mouth.

"It's so fragrant!" He complimented, smiling at the Earl on his right, "Great soup, though it doesn't smell at all, but as soon as I drink it, I feel all the aromas melt into it." ”

When the others heard him say this, they looked down at the soup again, and they really couldn't understand how this water-like thing could be delicious. They tasted it half-convinced, and with expressions of appreciation, they eagerly drank the rest of the soup.

"How the hell is this soup made?" Someone was surprised and asked, "It looks like there's nothing in the soup, but it contains so much flavor." How did he manage to see nothing with his eyes, smell nothing with his nose, and taste the most delicious soup in the world when he drank it in his mouth? I almost thought I had something wrong with my nose. ”

Everyone shook their heads, and no one knew how the chef created this miracle.

They soon got to know the chef for what he really was, and after the waiter removed the bowl, a young chef in his twenties came up with two assistants carrying a large plate with a round lid. The assistant put the plate on the table and lifted the lid, and the people saw that there was a small plate on the plate, but they could not recognize what the food on the small plate was.

The chef took a long spoon and poured the red sauce from a large bowl held in his left hand on the dish, and the dish seemed to come alive, making a "squeak" sound, which frightened several female customers to exclaim: "God, they are alive!" ”

The chef smiled and reassured in fluent English: "Ladies, don't worry, they are not alive, this is fried fish after the head is removed, don't worry, the name of this dish is squirrel mandarin fish." Look, doesn't the shape of this fish look a bit like a squirrel right now? The sound just now was more like a squirrel call. (To be continued......)
