It wasn't too early, Li Han looked at his watch—it was a birthday present from Tom on his birthday last year—and asked, "Catherine, it's almost 12 o'clock, do you have time to have lunch together?" ”
Catherine hesitated for a moment and said, "I have time all day today, but you can also see that I have applied all the paint and want to go back to take a shower first." ”
Li Han thought for a while: "My house is not far from here, why don't you go to my house, you go to take a bath, I cook, do you eat Chinese food?" ”
"Han, you know how to cook?" Catherine was surprised and asked, "Of course I'm fine, in fact, I like to eat Chinese food, and it's good to try your craft today." ”
Today's weather is good, Gou Gou and Jiujiu are playing in the yard, as early as the day he brought Gou Gou back, Li Han opened a small door for pets to enter and exit on the gate on the first floor, allowing it to enter and exit freely.
The little one grows very fast, and when he grows up, I'm afraid he will have to move the kennel to the yard, and then he will have to build another shed to give him shade and shelter from the rain.
When he was still dozens of meters away from the yard, Gou Gou ran out with a "Wang" scream, followed closely for a long time, and excitedly circled Li Han's legs, as if they had been separated for a long time.
"What cute kittens and puppies, what's their name?" Catherine bent down in surprise to touch it, and Li Han hurriedly took her hand.
"Be careful, they don't like to be touched except me, and be careful will scratch you." Li Han bent down and hugged it for a long time, and touched his hair, "This is a tanuki, it's very wild, and if you're not careful, you will be scratched by it for a few traces." Hook rubbed his calf at his feet, praying for justice from his master: he wanted to hug him too.
Li Han reluctantly put Jiujiu back on the ground, and comfortingly smoothed the hair: "You have grown up, are you still coquettish?" Okay, let's play by ourselves, no fighting. ”
Catherine looked at the two little ones with envy, because she often rehearsed for months, she only came home in the middle of the night every day, and she had no time to raise pets, and she could only watch other people's cats and dogs every time to satisfy her hunger.
Li Han introduced her into the room and took her to the guest room on the first floor: "The bathroom is full of toiletries, and there are unused clean towels in the cabinet, you wash first, and I'll cook." ”
I just went to the city yesterday and the fridge was still full. The British love chicken and potatoes, and Li Han decided to give Catherine a taste of the unmodified Chinese version of these two foods.
Blanch the chicken in a pot, then put it in a pressure cooker with shiitake mushrooms, red dates, wolfberries and ginger slices, except for salt and cooking wine, and cover the pot directly and start cooking. By the time the meal is finished, the soup will be almost ready.
The main dish is braised lion's head. It doesn't matter if there is no meat filling, Li Han has always liked to chop the meat filling by himself, which is not a difficult thing for him, and the meat filling he chops is sweeter and chewier than the machine qì. Chop the green onion, ginger, garlic and shiitake mushrooms into minced pieces, add them to the meat filling, beat two eggs, add salt, cooking wine and starch and mix well. It's a pity that there are no water chestnuts, otherwise it would be even fresher.
Roll the minced meat into six balls of about the same size, fry them in a hot pan until golden brown, and set aside. Brits have a sweet tooth and should prefer braised to steamed.
Make another spicy and sour shredded potato. If someone is in the kitchen, you can see the knives flashing, the cutting board rings briskly, you can hardly hear the sound of knives falling on the wooden board, you can only see more and more thin shredded potatoes, slowly piled up in a pile.
"What is this?" Catherine came out of the shower and asked in surprise when she saw the pale yellow filaments on the plate. She saw half of the potato that Li Han was still cutting in his hand, but she couldn't believe that the potato could be cut so beautifully.
"Washed?" Li Han glanced back at her in a hurry, she probably didn't want to wear her dirty clothes, and she was only wrapped in a large bath towel, revealing her snow-white shoulders and slender legs, which was full of charm. "We have a saying called 'beautiful and delicious', are you going to let me eat, so I don't have to rob you, right?"
Catherine smiled charmingly, lifted her right leg and hooked Li Han's calf, hooked Li Han's heart was on fire, soaked the shredded potatoes into the basin, hurriedly washed her hands and carried the woman up.
Catherine pretended to scream and beg for mercy, but she was still beaten with a stick by the robber on the bed in the guest room, until she was sore, and her voice was hoarse.
"It's so annoying," Catherine yelled at her slightly hoarse voice, "I have a show tomorrow, what can I do if my voice is hoarse?" ”
Li Han smiled: "Have you forgotten what I do?" Don't worry, I'll cook you rock sugar pear water to drink when I go back, and I'll make sure you're fine right away. "This rock candy was finally picked up by him in Chinatown.
Catherine breathed a sigh of relief, and then felt her stomach growl. She pushed Li Han: "I'm hungry, go cook." ”
Li Han stretched his waist and got up, grabbed his underwear and put it on, didn't wear any other clothes, and went back to the kitchen to continue making his hot and sour shredded potatoes. Chop a few more bananas to make a fruit salad, and lunch is pretty much the same.
Without waiting for him to call, Catherine had already come out by herself, and did not help serve the food, but sat lazily at the table, waiting for the meal. Li Han had the urge not to prepare spoons and forks for her, and to watch her joke with chopsticks, but finally resisted. People say that a husband and wife are 100 days a day, and they have been friends twice, which is not good.
As usual, I scooped two spoonfuls of soup for Gou Gou and spoons of bibimbap to eat, and then sat down and started: "You try this braised lion's head first, it's sweet, you should like it." ”
Catherine smiled: "It's delicious, your craftsmanship is so good, you are handsome and rich and can cook, what should I do if I fall in love with you?" ”
Li Han made a look of looking at all beings and said, "Isn't it normal for mortals to fall in love with this god?" Don't kneel down and sing about conquest? As he spoke, he sang to himself, "I was conquered by you like this......"
Catherine's laughing fork was unsteady, and she lay on the table panting for breath for a long time before she said, "It's so annoying, I almost choked." ”
Gou Gou and Jiujiu were originally eating obediently on the side, but when they heard the excitement here, they all ran over, squatted on the side and looked at them with cute expressions, almost making Catherine's heart cute, but she couldn't touch and hug it, and her heart was itching.
The hot air balloon festival is indeed quite lively, but the main reason is that some businesses are using this opportunity to advertise, and the hot air balloons are full of the names of these businesses.
At the end of August last year, Li Han had just arrived in London for less than two months, and when he heard about this carnival, he took a train to participate in it, which was simply a sea of carnival.
On that day, the streets of Nodiyama were crowded with reveling locals and tourists from all over the world, and the popular procession wore everything, and most of the girls wore bikinis and colorful feathers.
From time to time, they also dance a hot dance to the music, and the movements are called a boldness, almost imitative. After the action, Li Han also saw a policeman who maintained order being sandwiched between two women one after the other, provoking, rubbing, and impacting. The policeman was caught off guard, his face showed consternation, and then he laughed, hugged one and jumped along.
Naturally, the merchants will not let go of this good opportunity to advertise, and if they are a little more decent, they will either make floats and parade with the procession, or invite a few teams of dancers to dance in the company's cultural shirts. Li Han met a chocolate company and poured buckets of chocolate liquor on the tourists, so in the end, the block became a "Songkran Festival", all wrapped in chocolate liquor from head to toe, which looked quite delicious.
Some pop teams can pass by their own doors, so they set up musical instruments directly in front of the store and directly engage in dJ. The people of Notting Hill are the happiest, many of them can watch the excitement directly from their windows, and many people also hang homemade carnival items from the windows, such as huge turkeys and the like, although they are all scrap items at hand, but they are also made in a good way. Li Han was thinking about coming back to play at the carnival next year.
There are only two highlights of the hot air balloon festival, one is that thousands of hot air balloons fly at the same time and it is very spectacular, and the other is that there are some balloons with strange shapes, such as Minions, Lion Kings, castles and the like.
The end of the month is coming after the hot air balloon festival, and the 31st is Lydia's birthday, and she has already placed an invitation to invite her friends to her birthday party in Reims.
Li Han also knew that this would definitely not be a private banquet for only a few people, and he had already prepared to wear tuxedos, and there were a lot of people who participated in the party, so he specially ordered a new dress suitable for this weather. As for the gift, he already had an idea in his heart, and he was already in the process of customizing, so he just had to pick it up when the time came.
