Chapter 105: Christmas Eve (Part II)
"Tony, what are we going to eat tonight?" Karin stepped out of the other bathroom, using a towel to dry her long blond hair, "Do you really want to make something delicious out of that?" ”
"Of course." Zhuang Mingge said as a matter of course, "I'll go down and carry those things now." ”
"Hey, wait......" Before Karin's words were finished, Zhuang Mingge had already run away.
"Really, people who are so big are still as alive as a child." Karin remembered Zhuang Mingge's expression when he saw the hotel at that time, shook his head a little funny, and followed.
……
On the way home, Zhuang Mingge happened to see a Chinese restaurant, and the aroma of braised pork came from the room. Zhuang Mingge, who was homesick, didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and rushed directly into the restaurant, so frightened that the shopkeeper thought that the other party was here to rob, and almost called the police, but fortunately, Karin's speed was not slow, and she arrived in time before she let the shopkeeper dispel his doubts after some explanation.
Otherwise, tomorrow the Florentine media will break out the big news that "the president of Florence has entered the police station for gluttony......
After that, Zhuang Mingge communicated with the Chinese shopkeeper who crossed the ocean to Italy to make a living, and successfully bought a batch of traditional Chinese ingredients from him, although some of them were the shopkeeper's own "works", but Zhuang Mingge personally tasted it and found that the shopkeeper's craftsmanship was still quite good.
On the way back to the villa, Zhuang Mingge kept talking to Karin excitedly about how these ingredients were processed and the food that could be made, although Karin didn't understand much......
……
"Hey~" Zhuang Mingge walked into the hall of the villa step by step with two bags full of hemp, "Karin, come and help, these things are too heavy, I really can't carry them." ”
"I'm coming." With that, Karin stepped down the spiral staircase, and lifted one of the sacks with ease with one hand, "Give me the other one too." ”
"...... weishenme, Karin and I will be so much weaker......
"All this in the kitchen?"
"That's right, let's take it to the kitchen first, and today we're going to show you what is delicious." Zhuang Mingge followed behind Karin and said confidently.
"This chicken is so black in color and has a much longer comb than average...... Even the eyes are dark blue. Karin looked at the ingredients Zhuang Mingge put in the kitchen suspiciously, "Is this kind of chicken really as you said, can it make anything delicious?" ”
"Haha, Karin, you have to trust my craft." Zhuang Mingge put on his apron and said to Karin, "Although I'm embarrassed to say that...... But Karin, you can do me a favor too, after all, to make today's dinner, it would be too much work for me alone. ”
"Haode, what do I need to do?"
"Help me clean these herbs first, and then follow the instructions on this piece of paper to make them into the corresponding shapes." Zhuang Mingge handed Karin a piece of paper full of words, "I have written down the precautions and preparations to be made, it is best to be careful when handling these ingredients, so as not to hurt yourself." ”
"I'll take notice."
……
Two hours later, Zhuang Mingge was finally done, and as he filled the large dining table in the dining room with his haode dishes, Karin suddenly felt that she might be the happiest person on Christmas Eve.
Think about it, a rich boy in the West, who can cook a seemingly difficult meal for other people, even his women, is difficult not to be moved by Karin's Westernized cognition. Karin was originally an intellectual beauty with a little playfulness, and against the backdrop of this atmosphere, it added a touch of loveliness.
"It smells so good." Karin carefully sniffed the bowl of white rice porridge in front of her, and said, "What a strange aroma." ”
"Let's have a taste." Zhuang Mingge said expectantly.
Under Zhuang Mingge's guidance, Karin picked up a spoon and took a sip: "Well......"
"How?" Seeing Karin's silent appearance, Zhuang Mingge, who was originally very confident in the cooking skills he had secretly practiced in the past few months, began to become a little uneasy, after all, there are some differences in the views of food between the East and the West, and the dishes that he thinks are okay are likely to be felt by others that the taste is not in line with their taste......
"It's delicious~" Just as Zhuang Mingge was thinking nonsense, Karin suddenly said this, her two big eyes flashing with strange colors, "It's obviously just a bowl of porridge...... Weishenme will have the taste of chicken...... How do you do that? ”
"I first stuffed the whole chicken with rice, then poured wolfberry, codonopsis and other herbs into the pot, and Shaoxing Huadiao, and simmered together...... Zuihou then takes out the rice inside the chicken, and this is where this bowl of porridge comes from. Zhuang Mingge was overjoyed after hearing Karin's praise, and after calming down his mood, he explained, "Only in this way, the essence of the chicken is slowly boiled out, and the rice can fully absorb these precious chicken soups to make this bowl of porridge, so that you can eat the sweetest and most delicious taste of this chicken!" ”
"It's so troublesome...... Karin was dumbfounded, she grew up in Italy, but she never thought that just such a bowl of porridge would be so troublesome, "this snack looks very good, too." ”
"It's called siu mai, it's a Chinese food, and it's made in a book I used to see."
We're not lying, it's true that we saw it from a book, it's just a comic book...... Zhuang Mingge silently added in his heart.
"The yellow skin is sprinkled with some black and shiny particles...... It looks pretty good. Karin looked at this plate of siu mai like a handicraft, and couldn't bear to start, "How is this food called siu mai made?" ”
"I rolled out this dough with eggs and flour, and the black particles on it are chopped with preserved eggs marinated in duck eggs." Zhuang Mingge looked at Karin's tangled expression, and said with a smile, "I added crab roe to it, let's eat it." ”
Zuihou, Karin finally couldn't resist the temptation of food, picked one up with a fork, and ate it.
"It's really delicious~" Karin said happily after a while, "The sweet and delicious egg dough and exciting preserved eggs, as well as the biting crab roe...... These three flavors are completely integrated in one siu mai. ”
Zhuang Mingge then went on to introduce Karin to the other dishes on the table, such as the "tornado sausage" made with shark fin, ham and bamboo shoots cut into shreds and woven into twisted shapes, and then stuffed into casings; There are also stir-fried shredded pork with green peppers and dry fried beef river that test knife and fire skills, and Karin is dizzy with the sumptuous dishes......
"Woo~I've eaten it~" After dinner, Karin lay on the table uncomfortably and said, "It's all Tony's fault that you make so much delicious food, and now I have to do more exercises to keep in shape." ”
"Hehe, that's good." Zhuang Mingge smiled and hugged Karin with a princess hug, and strode towards the bedroom, "Tonight, let me accompany you to 'exercise', we have a night......"
"Tony! It turns out that you have premeditated! Karin's angry voice and Zhuang Mingge's laughter came from the bedroom......
