No matter where you are, you need staple food.
Chinese rice and pasta, foreigners' bread, cake and pizza are actually similar in essence.
The lack of these things in every meal can make most people feel uncomfortable, as if they haven't had enough to eat.
The pizza had already been baked, and Luke microwaved two pieces of it out, one for each of Selena.
Selena's eyes narrowed with happiness.
She's a foodie.
Originally, this attribute was not obvious, but following Luke to work in Houston, the two were made very idle by Perrick every day, never had to work overtime, and after returning home, Luke changed his tricks to make delicious food.
In the previous life, Luke still knew how to cook, although the level was very average.
And because of the troublesome preliminary work of washing and cutting vegetables, he rarely cooks.
When you get here, you act quickly, and the work of cooking becomes enjoyable.
In my last life, I turned over a lot of food recipes, and I did a lot of them myself, plus Selena, a guy who is not a picky eater, as an experiment, and her cooking skills are now considered first-class in the United States.
Well, of course, if you go to China to open a restaurant at this level, you will definitely go out of business, and if you open a restaurant in the United States, you can only get fast food that wins in price.
On this business trip to New York, he didn't spend much money.
Thanks to Sergei Rich, he actually brought a few rolls of American knives with him, and after throwing one roll to Vanessa, Luke himself kept two rolls, which looked like four thousand American knives.
Now, he basically earned back all his expenses in New York.
Including the money to buy those electronic components and second-hand goods, can be spent from this money.
He was also not worried that Sergei's money would be deducted points.
Judging from the information in the New York Police Department, Sergei was involved in arms and drugs and human trafficking, although the scale was not large, but it was impossible without one or twenty lives on his hands.
This kind of person is naturally not in the protection rules of the system.
Of course, only such gang members would put so much denomination cash on their bodies.
With this money, Luke cooked a little better for himself and Selena, what's wrong!
Selena devoured it, and was said twice in a row by Luke: "Slow down, slow down, you will be full soon after eating like this, and there will be vegetables in the back." ”
Selena could only slow down, but after a while, she couldn't help but speed up.
In just five minutes, she ate half a cupcake, a small bowl of tomato brisket, and a piece of pizza.
To get rid of the oiliness, the pizza is a whole fruit pizza that tastes sweet and sour, which is why she eats it so quickly.
After eating, the creature reached for the box of cupcakes next to it.
Luke slapped her on the hand with a snap: "Keep these, you can bring them to work tomorrow to eat." ”
Selena cried and said, 'Oh, you're a bit like my mom.' ’
Luke rolled his eyes: "You like to eat so much, you don't want to have stomach problems in a few years, right?" ”
Selena shook her head decisively.
Luke hehe: "I specially learned about some police detectives from the Serious Crime Unit, basically they have stomach problems, they can't eat serious meals, and they don't even want to drink, do you want to be like that?" ”
Selena continued to shake her head.
Luke nodded with satisfaction: "That's why I got you this, take a few small bags in the bag every day, and take one out and eat it when you're hungry." ”
Selena: "Huh? These are for me to eat? ”
Luke wondered, "Of course, I'll take a few at most for Elsa to taste, and the rest is yours." ”
Selena was moved: "Ah, you're so nice, Luke! I love you. ”
Luke's head was full of black lines: "Do you often use this set on your mother?" ”
Selena: "...... Uh, no. ”
Luke, hehe, just her embarrassing acting skills, you know that he is right when you look at it.
The reason why he made all this food was nothing more than to use this meticulous work to dispel his impatience caused by the killing spree in New York.
and Selena's daily idle chatter has the same effect, which can be regarded as a means of self-regulation.
The two of them were idle, and the staple food was also good.
Luke took the roast chicken out of the oven and brought it directly to the plate, peeling off the tight tin foil to reveal the two chickens inside.
This is certainly not a turkey, but a triple yellow chicken.
I don't know if it's authentic, but it's no more tender than a turkey.
The chicken marinated in cooking wine and spices is so tender and tender that it can fall off when you pull it along the bone.
The whole outside of the chicken is marinated in seasoning, and when grilled, there is a seasoning mixed with cooking wine in the belly of the chicken.
Caught inside and out, this chicken is far more delicious than the Americans' roast turkey.
Luke doesn't know what he is, he made it according to a certain food UP in his previous life, it seems to be called "Wild Food Brother", and he drools every time he sees it.
Although, people still have lotus leaves and mud, and Luke only has a layer of tin foil, Selena and his mouth are not so picky.
The two stopped chatting, and each of them had a good time.
Selena's movements were even faster than Luke's, and after eating, she looked at him pitifully: "Honey, is there anything else?" ”
Luke: "There's another one in the oven, you can take it out yourself." ”
He knew that this foodie was definitely not enough.
The three yellow chickens he bought were definitely not the kind of adults, and the finished products sold in the supermarket after being cleaned were about one and a half catties, and one of them would never satisfy a foodie.
Seeing Selena bring out another half-hung chicken and feast on it, Luke smiled and made himself a bowl of tomato brisket and ate it slowly with pizza.
After that, it was business as usual, except for someone who couldn't afford to eat on the couch.
The next morning, Luke got up and saw Selena wrapped in a quilt on the sofa, like a spring roll, and shook her head helplessly: What's the matter with your head wrapped in the quilt, but your butt is all exposed?
Fortunately, this is Los Angeles, and even in November, the lowest temperature is above 10 degrees, otherwise this thing may have caught a cold.
Luke went to wash up first, and when he came out, he woke Selena up and began to prepare breakfast.
During this time in New York, the most unaccustomed thing is to eat out three times a day, and I always feel uncomfortable.
When Selena came out, hot milk and homemade sandwiches were already on the table, and she looked happy: "Ahhh For the past two weeks, I've been throwing up on the hot dog in that food truck outside the police station, and I can finally eat the sandwich you made again. ”
Luke hehe: "You are lazy, you go and buy semi-finished products by yourself and come back to make them without trouble, and the taste can be adjusted by yourself." ”
Selena didn't take the topic, she just didn't want to do this.
After a simple but pleasant breakfast, the two went downstairs and drove to work.
Selena was driving, of course, and once in the car, Luke took her bag.
Selena was shocked: "What do you want to do?" ”
Luke motioned to the paper bag in his hand speechlessly: "I just said last night, let you bring a few cupcakes, you just run away, I can't even shout at you." ”
