"What did you do?" Seeing Link come to the couch and sit down, instead of staying in the kitchen, he asked.

"Some of the things I'm good at, to be honest, I want to thank you for the ingredients you bought yesterday, I saw that the invoice date was yesterday, and I used it without any problem, did you buy these and try to cook? The result? ”

"I think it's a lot harder for me than the homework the professor gives me." "I don't think I'll ever try again," Peggy said. ”

"It's nothing, maybe your talent isn't in this area, everyone has things that they are good at and what they are not good at."

Link said as he looked at the women's self-defense technique on TV, and was slightly stunned: "When did you become interested in these things?" ”

"Lately." Peggy said, "After all, I often watch you learn these things, and I am somewhat curious. ”

Link frowned and looked at Peggy and said, "This is not like your character, I remember that you didn't even like the physical education class in school before, and your grades were not easy to meet, and not long ago you said that you don't like violence, you are ......"

Speaking of this, Link suddenly frowned and said, "Is it because of what happened when I went to pick you up that day, it was just a misunderstanding." ”

Peggy hesitated for a moment, and finally said to Link: "I don't think it's a misunderstanding, I know from your reaction what you're hiding."

And you shouldn't be going to Las Vegas these days, I have your social security account, and I used it to go to the airline to check your itinerary.

You didn't go to Las Vegas and lost XXX not far from Mexico, I've known you for more than five years, and you can't hide many things from me. ”

After a little silence, Link knew that with Peggy's cleverness and familiarity with himself, he probably saw something:

"Okay, I don't like you being so smart now, but trust me, what happened before was an accident, and now that it's settled, you don't have to worry."

Nodding, Peggy said, "I know, from your performance when you came back, you generally like to take the initiative to cook only when you're in a good mood, but I do think there's nothing wrong with learning these things."

I've seen your renovation of the back of the house, it's very functional, and it shouldn't be a problem for one more person to use it, maybe you can teach me something. ”

"Peggy, that's not what you're supposed to do right now." After thinking for a while, Link looked at Peggy and said, "We all know you're smart, but both me and your parents want you to be able to go through something that a normal kid would go through.

Although you have surpassed many people in terms of knowledge, this is only because of your talent, not that you are mentally mature enough.

You're only over thirteen years old now, and I still hope that you can be like a thirteen-year-old, go out and have fun, or make some friends or something. ”

Link's tone was very firm, he used to think Mindy was cool when he watched King Haibian's movies, but he always thought that the big dad who trained Mindy since he was a child was not a good father.

If it were Link, even if the hatred was monstrous, he would choose at most one person to complete his revenge on Frank, and would never implicate Minty.

Link is an ordinary person, and he also has a very selfish side, and now he has learned to be ruthless, but over the years, he has treated Peggy as his own family, and he naturally does not need Peggy, who is only more than thirteen years old, to learn these things to help him.

"But you're not even twenty years old, and I remember you weren't much older than me when Robert taught you martial arts."

"But that's what I like, that's why I let Robert teach me, and I know you don't like martial arts at all.

As for the rest of the things you really don't have to worry about, I promise that the matter has been settled and that nothing like this will happen in the future, it's not something you need to worry about, you should trust me. ”

"Are you sure?"

"Of course, there will be no more trouble, this time it was an accident, and I promise, the same thing will not happen."

"Okay, but I need to know what all this is all about?"

“…… Well, to put it simply, it's that I won a fortune in Las Vegas. It's a lot of money, and part of it comes from a Mexican who is a little reluctant and wants to talk to me.

The guy that day was the one he sent to me, I came there the other day, and we had some negotiations......"

The real situation naturally can't be said, so Link described lightly that he lost a sum of money to the other party, which is considered to understand the matter, and at the same time, Link also knows that there are too many hidden risks in his method of making a fortune in Las Vegas.

This experience made him decide not to do the same thing again, and now that he has enough capital, the first pot of gold is a lot of money, in such a situation, even if this is a small probability event, he will not want to take the risk.

After listening to Link, Peggy nodded: "I see, that must be a lot of money, right?" ”

"That's right." Link said: "Even after the money I paid back, the rest still made me a multimillionaire. ”

"Wow! It's amazing! Peggy immediately jumped up: "Then can I have a set of Chanel cosmetics?" This will make Missy envy to death! ”

"No, you're only thirteen now, and as we said, we won't let you use those things until you're sixteen." Link said.

"Okay." Peggy was slightly disappointed, but quickly said again, "But you're going to accompany me to Griffith Park for horseback riding in the afternoon." ”

"Of course, there is no problem." Link said, "But now let's have lunch first." ”

"Great!"

At this moment, there was a sound of dripping in the kitchen, Link got up and went into the kitchen, and then there was a rush of busyness, and ten minutes later Link came out and said to Peggy, "Very good, wait another ten minutes, and you can start eating." ”

Peggy had already sat up: "I can't wait, every time you cook Chinese food, it feels much better than what you eat in a Chinese restaurant." ”

Peggy is actually no stranger to Chinese food, there are many Chinese Americans in Texas, and even Houston and Chinatown, and a considerable part of the food culture living in China can be found here.

There are quite a few authentic Chinese restaurants in Texas that do good business, and in Pasadena, there are also quite a few Chinese restaurants with a lot of Chinese.

This can be seen from the Big Bang Theory TV series, Sheldon They also often eat Chinese food, so it is not difficult to buy the right kitchenware and seasonings,

There are two biggest benefits of having your own single-family house.

One is that the training can be carried out in the room or in the backyard, and you can even prepare the right equipment by yourself, and the second is that you don't have to worry about being upstairs or neighbors thinking that there is a fire when you cook Chinese food, and call the fire alarm to pour water on the two of you.

This is not a joke, there are a lot of Chinese dishes that are full of smoke, and it is easy for Americans to think that there is a fire, in case of a fire alarm, people will come and pour water, they will definitely damage a lot of things, and people will not compensate you.

What's more, you also have to give money to the fire police, and they will send you an attendance bill the next day, at least one or two thousand dollars will be gone, even if Link doesn't care about the money now, he must be very unhappy.

That's right, there is a charge for fire in the United States, and it is quite expensive, and the high fee can make many poor people prefer to burn down their homes rather than call it a fire.

Seeing that the time was up, Link went into the kitchen, and this time Peggy also went in, Link took out two big names, then turned on the rice cooker, reached in with a wooden spoon, mixed the rice in it a few times, and then picked a bite with chopsticks and tasted it, feeling that the saltiness was a little lighter.

Then I took the light soy sauce from the side, put some into the rice cooker, mixed the rice a few times, and tasted it again, and the taste was almost the same.

Link served two bowls, one large and one small, Peggy looked at the rice and hesitated: "I haven't seen you do this before, and it doesn't look pretty." ”

"It's for food, not for you. If you don't eat it, give it to me, I remember there was a sandwich in the fridge and you could eat that. ”

This is to use a rice cooker to fry the ham, mushrooms, carrots, peanut oil, light soy sauce, oil, and garlic grains, and then steam the rice until it is half-cooked, and finally put the fried smorgasbord into it and continue to steam it, stir it before coming out of the pot, and it becomes a kind of bibimbap.

Link also fried two eggs in a rice cooker by the way, and finally put them in a bowl, and the rice was slightly yellowed, which was the color of light soy sauce and oil consumption, which is why Peggy said it was not good-looking.

Bibimbap itself is not something that wins by appearance, this is fast food for lazy people.

Peggy shook her head decisively: "No, although it's a little ugly, it smells good." I'm going to eat this. ”

Link shrugged, took a small spoon to her, pointed to the small bowl, and said, "Okay, this bowl is yours, bring it to the living room." ”

With that, he took his bowl of rice to the living room, Peggy quickly picked up the bowl and followed, the two sat in the living room, Link picked up the rice with it, and casually changed the TV to the news channel.

It is not surprising that the red big brother has not been down for a long time, and the dividends generated have made the United States full, and now the United States is indeed still in a period of rapid development.

Peggy couldn't help but lick her lips after eating the bowl of rice, and then said, "There's still a lot in the rice cooker, I'll go serve some more." ”

"Aren't you afraid of eating?"

"But it tastes really good, and it feels much better than those restaurants."

"Whatever you want, I'll do more this time, you can go and Sheng yourself."
