338. 332: Unpalatable dish
Tang Li was busy with Lu Mengyao in the kitchen, Lu Mengyao was busy and methodical, she was busy and messy, Tang Li really didn't know how to cook, and the food she made was like a medicine that failed in research for a hundred miles.
"I'm dizzy, why is it so dark?" Tang Li took a plate of fried vegetables by himself, hid to the side and looked at it, the vegetables had turned black, as if they were burnt, and they smelled weird, could it be that this dish was brought out to Nangong Jue and them to eat? Wouldn't it be a little ...... A little bad?
"What's wrong?" Lu Mengyao saw Tang Li hiding in the corner alone and seemed to be tinkering with something, so she walked over and asked.
Tang Li hurriedly poured the dish into the bucket, then covered the lid, then turned around and said with a dry smile: "It's nothing, it's just that this bowl seems to be dirty, I want to find a place to wash it." ”
"Let's go wash it in the tank outside." Lu Mengyao looked at the bucket, how could she wash the dishes here?
"Okay, I'll go wash it." Tang Li hurriedly walked out of the kitchen with the empty bowl that had been poured out, then went to the water tank to wash the bowl, and waited for it to go in and make a new plate.
Lu Mengyao skillfully boiled water and then plucked chicken feathers, disemboweling and gutting the internal organs, skillful techniques, her cooking skills have improved a lot these days, and the dishes she makes taste good, these chickens are very tender, and the soup should taste good.
In comparison, Tang Li felt that she was really not a virtuous woman, fortunately, the fire burned down the palace, and she hadn't had time to live with Nangong Jue, otherwise she would find out in minutes that she couldn't do anything except eat, drink and have fun, and now there was still time to remedy it, Tang Li carefully aimed at Lu Mengyao, wanting to see how she cooked.
"Cut the ginger for me." Lu Mengyao saw that Tang Li didn't seem to have anything to do there, so he ordered.
Tang Li said "oh", then took some ginger next to her and washed it, and then cut it, and when she cut it, she asked again: "What kind of cut it into?" ”
"Shredd." Lu Mengyao said.
In fact, it doesn't matter if the ginger is cut into pieces for stewed chicken soup, and it is faster, but Lu Mengyao can see that Tang Li doesn't know anything about cooking, obviously he wants Tang Li to cut it into pieces, but when it comes to his mouth, it becomes shredded.
Shredded...... Tang Li looked at the big kitchen knife and asked her to use this knife to shred the ginger, which seemed a little difficult, but she couldn't say no, right? That's a shame, this is a secret battle between two women, you can't lose, you can cut it into shreds~
"I'm so hungry, I haven't eaten breakfast yet, why hasn't the food come yet?" Bai Yuzhu sat outside and muttered impatiently, if he knew that he would have asked Lu Mengyao to boil some porridge, he had to stew chicken soup and stir-fry vegetables, and he hadn't seen anything to eat for a long time.
Nangong Jue was still looking at the medicine book, ignoring Bai Yuzhu's complaints, Bai Yuzhu saw that Nangong Jue was so serious, and leaned over with some curiosity to see what he was looking at.
"How?" Nangong Jue closed the book, this is one of the cheats that Lu Jiang gave him, in fact, he has read it many times, and he has already understood it thoroughly, but he will look at it again when he has nothing to do to deepen his memory.
"No, I'm just looking." Bai Yuzhu retracted his gaze and replied casually, that book should be about pharmacology, Nangong Jue understands pharmacology Bai Yuzhu is not unaware, and Baili Wuyang should also have expected it, after all, after Nangong Jue appeared, contact everything, those living corpses, as well as those herbs drying in Nangong Jue's courtyard, can be proved.
Bai Yuzhu was curious about what level Nangong Jue's medical skills had reached.
"The meal is ready!" As Lu Mengyao's voice came from behind a curtain, Bai Yuzhu smelled a strong fragrance, the fragrance of chicken soup, Lu Mengyao came out from behind the curtain with a big bowl of boiled chicken, and she smiled: "I'm hungry." ”
"Of course, I'm going to starve to death!" Bai Yuzhu replied politely at all.
"Hehe, the food is ready, I'll serve it and eat it." Lu Mengyao put the chicken soup on the table, then turned around and went to the kitchen to serve other dishes, since she had to cook such a formal meal, of course, it was impossible to really only have chicken soup and green vegetables, she also made some other dishes, and Tang Li also made one or two dishes.
Nangong Jue saw that only Lu Mengyao was in and out of the place to serve food and rice, wasn't Tang Li also inside? Why didn't you see her come out?
"Where's Miss Tang?" Although Bai Yuzhu was already fainting from hunger, he still remembered to ask Tang Li where he went.
Lu Mengyao pointed to the back of the curtain, Tang Li had been holding the two dishes she had fried, hiding behind the curtain and not daring to come out, she also whispered to persuade her, but Tang Li's face was flushed and motionless.
What is she doing hiding behind a curtain? Nangong Jue and Bai Yuzhu were a little puzzled, only Lu Mengyao knew the reason, because the two dishes that Tang Li was serving were all fried and blackened, and they couldn't see what they were at all, maybe they felt ashamed, so they didn't dare to come out, Lu Mengyao had a smile on the corner of her mouth.
At least at this point, she won.
Just as Tang Li gritted his teeth and was about to return to the kitchen to throw out the two dishes, the curtain was lifted all of a sudden, and Bai Yuzhu asked with concern on his face: "Miss Tang, what's wrong with you?" ”
Tang Li was petrified, Nima, is this not even a chance to destroy her? No, her hand shook deliberately, trying to pretend to be frightened and dropped the plate, but as soon as the plate left Tang Li's hand, it was caught by Bai Yuzhu steadily, and not a drop of soup was spilled.
"Miss Tang, be careful!" Bai Yuzhu didn't forget to remind him.
Tang Li watched Bai Yuzhu take out her own dishes, her hands trembled a little, if Nangong Jue knew that her dishes were so rubbish, his impression of her would definitely deteriorate.
"What is this?" Sure enough, as soon as Tang Li's dish was on the table, Nangong Jue was attracted by the jet-black dish, and he couldn't see the raw materials of this dish at all.
"Huh......" After Bai Yuzhu put down the dish, he also found that the dish was weird, he sat there and studied it for a while, and finally shook his head: "I don't know, what is this?" ”
Tang Li, who was slowly sitting on the side, pointed to one of the dishes with an embarrassed face and said, "This is what I made...... Meatball. ”
Suddenly, Bai Yuzhu was stunned, saying that this was plum cabbage and meat, and he was too dark! It's still meatballs?
"I don't know how to cook, anyway, you can eat it if you can, and if you can't eat it, just put it there, isn't there still a dish made by Miss Lu?" Tang Li hurriedly said.
Just looking at it stunned everyone like this, she really couldn't imagine if Nangong would cry bitterly if they would be beaten to the ground after they ate it......
"What is this?" Bai Yuzhu asked, pointing to another plate of jet-black dishes.
"Here's the garlic greens you're going to eat!" Tang Li blurted out and replied.
Bai Yuzhu's chopsticks fell on the table with a "snap", is this a green vegetable? It's charcoal ash and it's pretty much the same!! How bad cooking skills do you have to make such a heart-wrenching dish?
The calm Nangong Jue was not calm anymore, he looked at Tang Li and asked incredulously: "You said this is garlic greens?" ”
"Uh...... Probably...... It seems like...... Should...... Possible...... Maybe! Tang Li stammered and replied.
And Lu Mengyao next to her did not have the horror of Nangong Jue and Bai Yuzhu, on the contrary, she seemed to be in a good mood, her face was ruddy, and she spoke for Tang Li: "It's good to have you to eat, the dishes made by Miss Tang are kind, do you like to eat them." ”
Anyway, it's obviously not delicious, and Tang Li has completely lost to Lu Mengyao in this.
"Okay, okay, let's eat first, try first-" Bai Yuzhu was also embarrassed to continue to hit Tang Li, and while clearing the siege, he stretched out his chopsticks to clip a piece of legendary "meatball" and put it in his mouth, and then his expression immediately became richer, from red to black to white to purple, he hadn't chewed this expression yet, Tang Li's heart was cold.
"What's wrong?" Lu Mengyao looked at Bai Yuzhu with a look of wanting to live and die, and asked worriedly.
Bai Yuzhu opened his mouth wide and let the meatball roll out of his mouth and fall on his body, he said dumbfoundedly: "Really...... Too...... Bad ......"
Then after reacting, he immediately scooped the chicken soup with a spoon and drank it, and it took a while to come to his senses, looking at Tang Li who was injured all over his face, Bai Yuzhu was startled, and hurriedly said: "Actually, the taste is still ...... It's okay, it's just not suitable for me, that's why I'm like this, Miss Tang, don't get me wrong-"
"It's fine." Tang Li knew that the food she made was unpalatable, and there was nothing that needed to be deliberately praised by others, so she also took a piece of green vegetables and ate it in her mouth, as if she was eating a very ordinary dish.
Nangong Jue saw that Tang Li ate green vegetables very calmly, he also wanted to try it, Bai Yuzhu's exaggerated reaction made him very curious, but he didn't try the meatballs, just try the green vegetables.
"Don't!" Tang Li violently clamped Nangong Jue's chopsticks with his chopsticks and stopped him.
"How?" Nangong Jue asked rhetorically.
"Just leave this dish for me." Tang Li's eyes flashed and he replied: "It tastes good, this is the first time I have made such a delicious dish by myself, I can just eat it myself." ”
Bai Yuzhu swallowed his saliva, hearing Tang Li say this, he was a little cheap again, he really wanted to taste it and try it, what if it really tasted good? But thinking of the extraordinary taste of meatballs just now, his mouth immediately improved, so let's eat Lu Mengyao's dishes honestly.
"Oh?" Nangong Jue withdrew his chopsticks and said quite gently: "That's okay, don't waste it." ”
The implication is that you have to finish eating, Tang Li wanted to cry and nodded without tears: "It won't be wasted, it's so good, delicious ......"
The word "delicious" is so weak, Tang Li feels that he can use "delicious" to describe his dishes so shamelessly, I'm really sorry God, there is no more unpalatable dish in the world!! If you have to find a more unpalatable one, it is estimated that Tang Li will make it in the end.
Lu Mengyao looked at Tang Li's complaining appearance, the unhappiness in her heart seemed to be better these days, she sandwiched a piece of chicken to Tang Li: "Eat it." ”
