Chapter 242: Idle

Since he proposed, Li Han can't live a leisurely life in Oxford every day. According to English custom, he had to go to Windermere to meet with the Earl of Reims and ask him to marry his daughter to him, and it was up to the Earl of Reims to decide whether the engagement was to be done or not.

Although Count Lance was unhappy with this man who wanted to marry his daughter, there was no way for his daughter to like him, in fact, if Li Han dared to say that he didn't want to marry Lydia, Count Lance would definitely call someone to hack him to death every minute regardless of him saving his life twice.

But the embarrassment must be wanted, when he came as usual, although Count Lance was not very enthusiastic, but his attitude was still very kind, this time, his face was black, and Li Han couldn't help but worry about his three highs.

Anyway, Li Han also had a house in Windermere, and the Earl of Lance talked to Li Han very coldly, and did not say whether he would agree to their marriage, so he let the butler Wood politely blow him out. Wood was very polite, he liked his young lady's boyfriend, and said that if necessary, he could borrow a few people to help him clean the villa.

Li Han was not polite, although he asked someone from the housekeeping company to come and clean twice a week, but he still felt that it was not very clean if he didn't clean it before moving in, and accepting people's kindness was also a way to get closer. His relationship with Wood was already good, but Wood had grown up watching Lydia, and the relationship was not too close.

So I took a few people home to work, the villa was not dirty, and the sanitation problem was quickly solved. Fortunately, the Count of Reims was not so ruthless that he didn't even leave him with food, and lunch had been settled at Reims Manor. As for dinner. There's meat in the fridge, there's rice in the cupboard, vegetables and whatever, go back to the ranch and take a look, he shouldn't have to stay here too long, and he can go to Reims Manor tomorrow to offer his courtesy.

Generally speaking, if a man and a woman are already in love, and the man comes to the door to propose marriage, the woman's parents will not have much opinion. It's just that Lydia has been without a mother since she was a child, and her relationship with her father is very good, and Count Lance feels reluctant. It's not a big deal to be deliberately embarrassed.

Of course, Li Han also understands this feeling. That's his future father-in-law, not to mention such a small embarrassment, but the other party is angry, and he pulls it over with a broom. He was nothing but running. What else could be?

So he finished his workout early the next morning as usual. After making breakfast and eating to his heart's content, he went to Reims Manor to curry favor with his future father-in-law. Maybe the Count of Reims figured it out, or maybe he was afraid that his daughter would be too embarrassed. This time, he finally gave a smile and asked, "Have you had breakfast?" ”

Li Han was flattered, and hurriedly hit the snake with the stick, and after a few words of greeting, he began to ask questions about the engagement party. The British tradition is that births, old marriages, and deaths must be published in the newspapers, and many people don't do this anymore, but the Earl of Reims, as a nobleman, still adheres to this tradition, and publishes an engagement information in the Times, telling all relatives and friends that his daughter is getting engaged.

Nowadays, people actually watch more news on the Internet, and Li Han is not very hopeful about this way of telling. But the British seem to prefer to read physical newspapers, as soon as the information is published, the mobile phone will ring non-stop, friends and acquaintances will call to congratulate, and those who are close to them will ask if they have set a wedding date.

Li Han knew a lot of people, friends, acquaintances, and patients, and he answered the phone for several days just by answering the phone, and even Benedict and Tom, who were far away in the United States, called. Li Han was taken aback and asked, "Do you still read British newspapers in the United States?" ”

Benedict smiled: "Have you not been online these days?" As soon as the news in your newspaper came out, some fans took pictures and posted them on the Internet. ”

A fan of someone...... Li Han was speechless, although he is not a star, he still has a few fans, mainly those boys and girls who worship his kung fu. Fortunately, there are few people, and it will not affect life. Li Han really didn't dare to imagine what life would be like if he was also a star. I shudder to think that every day when I go out, people come up to ask for autographs and group photos, and there are mobile phones and cameras to take pictures everywhere I go, and there is no personal privacy at all.

Because Li Han has been staying in Oxford and Lydia since he came back from Huangguo, and later went to Windermere to overcome the difficulty of his father-in-law, although Gavin has been in England, the two have never gotten together. After the engagement was decided, Li Han went directly to Baibury's villa, just because he was bored alone, although the housekeeper Ian could talk, but after all, he had to maintain a difference in identity, and he couldn't chat like a friend, so he simply invited Gavin, who was idle, to come over and eat crabs.

Gavin is a typical Englishman, and he only eats a leg of a large sea crab that is tens of centimeters long, and he has never tasted a hairy crab, but he is very curious, and soon comes over with his notebook - he says that he is idle, but in fact, he still has to write a script, and he is just idle and does not need to stay in the crew.

Li Han himself still likes to eat steamed hairy crabs, but he can also make a lot of dishes directly with crab roe and crab meat. This time, he bought a lot of very sweet oranges, just in time to experiment with a new dish: crab inlaid oranges.

Actually, it's quite simple, cut off the top cover of the orange peel, dig out a part of the orange flesh, then mix the marinated crab meat, shrimp and diced carrots, diced mushrooms and corn with seasonings, and then stuff these fillings into the oranges, steam them and eat them. The crab meat and shrimp are very fresh and have the sweetness of orange, which Gavin likes very much.

Just two people, Li Han naturally wanted to make how to get it, not to mention making such a "childlike" dish, and then made his own dish: tofu and crab meat sandwiches. Tofu is a fried tofu that is fried golden on both sides, with crab meat, cucumber, and lettuce in between, and it has a unique flavor.

When crab meat is used, the crab roe naturally cannot be wasted, and it is directly made into a crab roe lion head. Li Han originally wanted to braise it, but he was afraid that the umami of the crab roe would be covered, so he simply added cabbage to the soup, which was also very fresh.

After eating this crab feast, he began to follow Li Han to catch crabs in the river every afternoon, and learned to fish for crayfish, and the spicy crayfish he made shouted: "It's so troublesome to peel it...... It's too spicy...... "I was happy to eat, although the speed was a little slower, but I didn't eat less than Li Han.

Li Han could only give him a roll of the eyes, and tried to catch more crayfish so that everyone could share more, while silently spitting on himself in his heart: This kind of good thing can be enjoyed by himself, why should he train a foodie to come out and grab delicious food from himself?

Gavin didn't feel that he had robbed Li Han of his delicacy, and tried to catch more hairy crabs and crayfish every day, forcing Li Han to develop new dishes, while showing off to Benedict and Tom in the United States what good dishes they ate today, and attaching photos of the dishes.

Benedict had eaten crayfish, but he had never tasted this variety of crab feasts. Tom was even worse, he hadn't even been to Li Han's villa in Baibury. The two of them were tempted to scratch their hearts, but the crew was filming at a critical juncture, could they make the whole crew stop and wait for him, just to satisfy the desire for tongues?

The two only hated Gavin to the point of gritting their teeth, but there is really nothing delicious in the United States, although it is not as exaggerated as the dark cuisine in the UK, but it is mostly fast food, which is completely incomparable to the untired and delicate food of Chinese food. And they are busy filming, and they don't have time to go out to find food, every day is either a burger or a sandwich, and then look at Gavin's daily food, they want to blacklist him.

Although Li Han did not send food photos to stimulate them, nor did he get involved in their "war", he made more and more various delicacies and tried to make the plate look better, which can be regarded as indirectly supporting Gavin's provocative behavior. Benedict and Tom, though angry, didn't take them for granted, but Lydia didn't do it first.

She also followed Gavin's Facebook, watching her fiancé cook all kinds of delicious food every day, but she could only watch that she couldn't eat at all, and suddenly became angry: "I want to eat delicious food too, I don't want to eat pasta after eating sandwiches at noon every day." "She's been busy lately, and she's always mixing pasta in the evening to pass the meal, and she's too lazy to cook something for herself.

Her message also reminded Tom and tempted: "Cold, my current filming location is near Yellowstone, do you want to come and play?" ”

Tom's method is good, but Li Han was summoned by his fiancée, how dare he disobey? Even Gavin was abandoned, packed a few hairy crabs and headed straight for Oxford. He's going to make food for his fiancée, Gavin, you just stay in Baibury and let Ian cook, anyway, there are so many hairy crabs and crayfish in the river, you can eat whatever you want!

Gavin regrets dying, if he doesn't show off, he can eat delicious food for a few more days, although Ian's skills in making Western food are good, Chinese food is really not very good! It's a pity that Mr. Yan doesn't know what to do now, otherwise he can still go to his restaurant to order food, and he will admit it.

Yan Lin was wandering around the banquets of high society, and he was also known in this circle, and those who had tasted his craft were willing to invite him to take charge of the banquet. Yanlin didn't have the capital to open a big hotel, he planned to open a small private restaurant first, and he would receive two or three tables of guests every day. However, he directly invited him to come to the door to do more, this kind of money is more than opening a store, and it is more identious, and Yanlin is quite happy to do it.

He also told Li Han about his future plan, and after he planned to make a name for himself and save some money, he would open the restaurant a little bigger and try to hit the Michelin star again. In any case, the Michelin star is now a signboard, and if it can really be mixed with a star, even if there is only one, it can be regarded as internationally certified. (To be continued......)
