"Have you forgotten, I've decided not to go abroad!"

Although Ash's tone was soft enough, Lian Yuyan's face darkened instantly.

She glanced sideways at her daughter with a warning look before resuming her smile and saying to her friends, "Xixi, this kid loves to joke, and he doesn't make people worry." ”

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and seemed to inadvertently help Ashie straighten the hem of her skirt, and said, "Hee, don't just talk to your mother, you still have to stay with young people more." After all, after going abroad, there are fewer opportunities to get together with each other. ”

Ash's lips opened slightly, but he stopped talking, forget it, if he continues, he will probably have to quarrel with his mother again. Anyway, there is still a while before she leaves school, and she will have time to talk to her mother in private after tonight.

With the vaccination she just gave, my mother probably wouldn't have said that she was going abroad when she met people.

Ash didn't dwell too much on the issue, politely greeted the aunts, and walked away alone.

But she didn't look for any friends, because Ash at this time had no friends.

How ridiculous, how can a man live to be eighteen years old without a close friend? So starting all over again, she realized how failed she had been in life.

She is self-contained and proud, locking herself in that little world, stagnant, both in life and in her skills.

That's why I lost everything in the end.

Ash wandered alone in the garden with a glass of juice, where his peers had come with their parents, who had been invited by their mother. She instinctively felt that she and they would not be the same kind of people, so she didn't bother to get together.

But it backfired, Ash didn't want to get up, but the people over there did.

A girl in a small pink skirt came over with a glass of champagne, looking about the same age as herself, and the two girls who came with her were also the same age, one in a green skirt and the other in a yellow dress.

She couldn't help but think of the traffic lights for walking......

"Ash, happy birthday, I'm Gao Minzhen." The girl in the pink dress greeted her with a smile.

Although the other party's voice was sweet, a smile on the corner of his mouth made people feel uncomfortable.

Immediately afterwards, the yellow dress and the green dress also said happy birthday to her.

Although they all looked like they were in high spirits, they had come to congratulate them after all, and Ash got up, smiled and raised his glass of wine to thank him.

"Thank you, and I give you a drink."

The three girls looked at each other, pouting and smiling at each other, wondering what they were thinking.

Then Gao Minzhen sat down on the other side of Ai Xi and said, "Miss Ai, I heard that you are going abroad to learn to cook?" If you want me to say, do you need to run so far, our New Oriental in Greater China is no worse than foreign countries! ”

With that, the yellow and green skirts giggled.

"Hehe," Ash sneered, "yes, a three-Michelin-starred restaurant in a foreign country doesn't taste as good as a fly restaurant in China." Oh, by the way, Miss Gao probably doesn't know the Michelin Guide, you don't think Michelin is just a tire brand. ”

Gao Min really heard her sarcasm that she didn't know, and her face collapsed, she just thought that tonight's party was too boring and wanted to have fun.

At this moment, Ash was ironic, and immediately changed the topic and said, "I heard that Miss Ai's dance partner in the opening dance is the second young master of the Fang family?" Oh, Miss Ai is really good-eyed, that's a famous courtesan in our Sichuan City! ”

The girl in the yellow skirt then said: "But Miss Ai doesn't usually come out to socialize, she may not know that Fang Yizhou is such a character, you don't think that the second young master of the Fang family is the same as the eldest young master!" ”

The green skirt immediately echoed, "That's not it, people like Fang Jinchao, I'm afraid they are not interested in attending any coming-of-age ceremony at all." ”

The three of them sang as if they were singing a double reed, and Ash was also quite speechless.

This circle likes to dance whenever there is a party, and the Ai family has the heart to make this party grand, so she naturally wants to dance.

Originally, she should choose the dance partner herself, but she didn't even have female friends, let alone male friends, so her mother had to arrange the dance partner.

Fang Yizhou is the youngest grandson of the Fang family, and Fang Jinchao, the current president of the Fang family, is a cousin. There is no celebrity in Sichuan City that he doesn't know, so everyone jokingly calls him a courtesan.

Ash could see that the three girls had the intention to come to find fault, and they didn't bother to argue, so they couldn't afford to provoke her to hide from the head office.

"If the three of you are in a panic, you might as well fight each other, you can talk as much as cross talk. I had something to do, so I lost my company first. ”

After saying that, she didn't wait for the three of them to continue to show off her might, and immediately slipped away.

Taking advantage of this time, Ash pondered what to make for her mother tomorrow morning, and if it wasn't a dream, she was quite interested in the food system. Besides, if you don't finish it, you'll die!

For breakfast, it's better to be lighter, but at the moment she can only talk to a limited number of ingredients. The noodles and eggs were quite suitable for breakfast, and Ash thought twice and decided on a dish.

But the dish had to be made with good stock, so Ash didn't linger any longer, and ran to the kitchen to arrange breakfast.

*

In the last thirty minutes, Ash came out of the villa to socialize, and by this time, the dance music had begun to play in the loudspeaker, and the climax of the night was coming.

But no one has started dancing yet, because the opening dance is naturally going to be handed over to today's birthday star Ash, and as for Ike, who is only ten years old, he is not so particular.

The girls around her, led by Gao Minzhen, all gathered together to look at Ash, and everyone spread the word that she was going to dance with the courtesans of Chuan Cheng.

In fact, Ash didn't care, she just had an opening dance with Fang Yizhou, and she really wanted to meet this so-called courtesan. Although the other party may have some accidents, she feels that she can bear it and solve it.

She took the lead and walked into the center of the clearing, looked at her mother, and unexpectedly bumped into a familiar figure.

The man's hair was meticulously combed, and Moxigan's head was deliberately restrained, and he wore a black suit, even his shirt and leather shoes were black.

It was the man with two bodyguards outside the kitchen, giving orders.

Ash looked at the oncoming man suspiciously, how could he relate to a courtesan with his killer temperament???

The man walked up to her step by step, stretched out his right hand, and bent down slightly, inviting her to dance.

"Yizhou has a temporary situation, so I will dance with you in his place, I hope Miss Ai doesn't mind." The tone is quite mild.

Ash looked at the group of girls with his peripheral vision, Gao Minzhen frowned, and the yellow and green skirts were also quite surprised.

The corners of her mouth curled, her heart was very happy, she smiled slightly, and put her hand in his palm, "Of course." ”

The two danced to the music, and Ash saw Gao Minzhen and their puffing appearance, and thought it was quite interesting, and her smile couldn't help but widen.

"Could it be that you are Mr. Fang Jinchao?" She asked the man softly.

"Yes."

Ash raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "That one in the pink suit just now is Fang Yizhou?" ”

"Yes.

What a coincidence.

Ash said after a while, "Mr. Fang usually talks so little?" ”

"Yes."

Ash: "Can you make an exception tonight, the main thing is that dancing is boring all the time, but I'm actually looking forward to dancing with Yizhou." Since you have taken his place, you can follow his example and say a few words, right? ”

Fang Jinchao's expression finally loosened a little, as if he was smiling, but he smiled very shallowly and couldn't catch it.

He paused and said, "Miss Ai, you are beautiful tonight." ”

Immediately, Fang Jinchao coughed and turned his head to look farther behind.

Is this complimenting her? Learn from Fang Yizhou?

Ash laughed at his reaction, and said, "Thank you." ”

And their reaction fell in the eyes of outsiders, as if they were chatting happily and were very familiar with each other, and everyone couldn't help but speculate.

But Ash didn't pay attention to those, she only thought that Fang Jinchao was really serious and cute.

And Fang Jinchao felt that the girl was really beautiful today, and it was also very different from the rumored image of being cruel and willful. Especially when she danced in a white dress, the skirt was unfolded and layered, and she was wrapped in it, like a delicate elf.

Fang Jinchao was a little distracted, and the guests around him began to join in, and people began to count down to welcome the eighteen-year-old arrival of the little girl in his hand.

The bell rang at zero o'clock, and at the end of the song, Fang Jinchao kissed the back of Ash's hand, and then the whole audience said "Happy Birthday" together.

Ashin was eighteen years old, and she liked it like a dream.

*

After the cake was cut, the guests did not stay long, and it was quickly dispersed.

Ash tossed for a night, was dressed again, ran to the hospital to cook, studied the system, and was still quite tired. Thinking that I would have to make breakfast for my mother tomorrow morning, I quickly removed my makeup and got into the bed.

After a tiring day, Ash put on a pillow and fell asleep, and slept until dawn.

The alarm clock jingled, and she struggled to open her eyes and press them off. After half a minute of confusion, she sat up from the bed and walked barefoot to the window.

"Whoa—"

The curtains were torn open, and the morning sun was about to come out outside, and below was the garden of the Ai family, which she was very familiar with.

Ash raised his hand and pinched his face, it hurt so much, it seemed that he was indeed reborn, and yesterday's was not a dream.

She closed her eyes and meditated on the food system, and indeed she entered that blue world, and everything was real.

After determining this, Ash washed up briefly and headed straight to the kitchen, where the cook was already busy.

Although the shadow of the morning sun is already visible, it is actually only a few minutes after six o'clock, and the summer day is like this, and it is bright early.

The first thing Ash did was check the soup stock that had been hanging since last night, the stock was a chicken broth that had been slowly boiled over low heat, and after boiling it to remove the foam last night, she had turned it off and simmered it herself.

There are three kinds of broth: hair soup, milk soup and clear soup, hair soup is ordinary boiling soup with some oil foam, milk soup is a soup that is simmered until milky white, and clear soup has the highest requirements, and the fire is more delicate than milk soup.

Her pot of clear soup is made of old hens and high-quality lean pork, boiling water and boiling it violently, skimming off the foam, waiting for the soup to boil supplemented with condiments such as green onion and ginger, and then turning the heat down and boiling for half a night.

It's hard to keep the noodle soup slightly open, and Ash doesn't make it well at first, but fortunately he can communicate with the green onions.

She confirmed the feeling of chopped green onions many times before she found the most suitable heat.

The feeling of soaking green onions in the soup changed from "hot, a little dizzy" to "a little cool, like early autumn rain", and after several twists and turns, it became "well, like the first cup of warm water to drink in the morning!" ”

Now the soup is as clear as white water, and Ash scoops it up with a spoon to taste it, and the taste is strong in the mouth, and the heart is full of comfort.

What she wants to make is shrimp wonton noodles, and the ingredients have already been prepared.

The shrimp is a fresh shrimp that the maid went out to buy in the morning, and the filling has already been prepared, but Wanton Pi Ash explained that she would wait for her to get up early in the morning to make it.

The fillings of wonton are almost the same, but the skin is similar to that of shrimp dumplings.

Start by boiling a pot of water, pour it into the prepared flour basin and stir briskly. The amount of boiling water should actually be in moderation, but Ash found that he couldn't hear the water droplets, so he could only join with his experience in making pastries in his previous life.

"Whew! The water is so hot, it's hot! "The flour was eroded by the water, and although it screamed, it had to be turned into clear noodles in the end.

Mixing noodles is a technical job and a hard job, and Ash called the male chef to help, and I have to admit that men are indeed more experienced than women in this area.

Ash watched from the sidelines, listening to the dough chattering to be precise:

"Hey, this uncle has a lot of strength."

"How can I have the greatest strength, my heart is more and more swing~"

"Rub and rub, my pride and indulgence~ Rub and rub, rub until I don't stick to my teeth......"

"Oops, oops, just rub it again!"

When Ash heard the last sentence, he immediately shouted to stop, smiled and thanked the chef, and then took over himself.

She rolls the dough into long strips, smears a thin layer of oil on a kitchen knife, and then cuts the long strips of dough into doses of about 10 grams.

The dough that loves to sing begins to speak again:

"Hey, how can you cut so little, make wonton or shrimp dumplings? But it's all a little bit more......"

Ash paused and cut a little bit off.

Dough: "Cut too much, put a little more!" ”

Ash did the same, tossing three times before he was able to cut out the dough in perfect proportions. The back is drawn according to the gourd, and a total of 20 are cut.

It wasn't until the confused dough finally reacted, and Ash could hear her speak, and Deng was very excited:

"Hey, can my sister hear me?"

"Then why doesn't my sister speak?"

"Beautiful sister, don't pretend, I know you can hear me!"

"You have the ability to eavesdrop, you have the ability to speak!"

……

Ash-hutted it, pretending that he couldn't hear it, and proceeded to the next steps.

Wanton explained the chef's bag, and she went to hot noodles again. When the water was boiling, he threw the noodles in, and in less than ten seconds, Ash scooped them up.

The wheat noodles said, "It's not cooked in the middle, blanch it for another two seconds!" ”

Without saying a word, Ash put the noodles into the boiling water, put them away and quickly scooped them up, poured them with cold water, and picked them into five porcelain bowls.

Now that the wonton was cooked and put into the bowl, Ash poured the clear and delicious broth on it, but did not drown all the noodles, leaving some floating on top of the soup. Immediately sprinkled with green onions, a bowl of fragrant and bright shrimp wonton noodles was out of the pot. The yellow color of the noodles, the transparent red of the wonton filling, and the tender green of the green onions add to the appetite of this bowl of wonton noodles.

Ash stirred his bowl and picked up a chopstick noodle to taste, the strength of the noodles was just right, the softness and hardness were moderate, and the taste was springy; Take a bite, and the soup that has been boiled all night on a low fire sweeps the tip of the tongue, smooth and long; When you take another bite of wonton, the fresh aroma of seafood fills your mouth, as if it can awaken the soul of the morning.

She was still very satisfied with this taste, took off her apron, and signaled that she could serve the food.

She quietly tidied herself up, and when she reappeared in the living room, the family was already seated.

Lian Yuyan saw that her daughter didn't come down from upstairs, so she praised, "I got up early today, and I look like an adult." ”

Ash smiled and didn't answer.

At this time, the maid had already brought the wonton noodles. Because the noodles are precious, if they are left for a long time, the taste will plummet, and there is no delay.

Lian Yuyan saw that it was shrimp wonton noodles, her eyebrows were raised lightly, and without saying a word, she first picked out a small chopstick and put it in her mouth.

Ash quietly cast his eyes and found that his mother was stunned at first, and then quickly grabbed a chopstick, chewing slowly as if savoring.

She thought she had succeeded and was about to receive her mother's praise, but she saw that the other party slowly put down her chopsticks, frowned slightly, and looked at her sharply.
