Chapter 403: Candlelight Dinner
"Well, since you want to help, come and help." Liu Xinxin said.
Dan Dan got busy, but he didn't know what he should do.
Liu Xinxin then asked him to do some simple things about washing vegetables.
Dan Dan was very afraid to see knives and other things, and to see how sharp they were.
I've seen Canglan cut my fingers when I cut vegetables before. And then a lot of blood flowed out.
"Liu Xinxin, after these vegetables are washed, do they need to be cut?" Dan Dan asked.
At this time, Dan Dan had already washed the dishes that Liu Xinxin had let herself wash.
"Well, of course I have to cut it." Liu Xinxin replied.
Dan Dan was stunned there, not knowing what to do.
"What's wrong? Dandan? Liu Xinxin saw him standing there motionless, so she asked.
"I don't dare to cut vegetables, I've seen a lot of blood on my fingers when I cut Canglan before, so I don't dare to cut vegetables." Dan Dan explained.
"Oh, I see, then you don't have to cut it, just put it there, I'll cut it myself later." Liu Xinxin said.
"Shin Shin, do you want to cut? You have to be careful. Dan Dan said.
"It's okay, I'm already very skilled at chopping vegetables, I won't cut it, don't worry." Liu Xinxin said.
"No, you still don't want to cut it, in case you get it with your fingers." Dan Dan said worriedly.
"Don't worry, no, I already knew how to chop vegetables when I was very young. I'm used to doing all of this. Liu Xinxin said.
"Really? Why did you chop vegetables at a very young age? Are you so young that you can cook? Don't your parents cook for you? Dan Dan asked curiously.
"No, when I was very young, my parents couldn't cook for me because they were busy with work, and I cooked and ate by myself a lot of the time. Luckily, my parents cooked whenever they had time, so I learned a little bit as well. Liu Xinxin said proudly.
When Dan Dan heard this, he couldn't help but admire Liu Xinxin.
Although he didn't know what the concept of human beings was when they were young, he watched TV and didn't know anything at all when he was a child, he just ran after his parents' butts.
But Liu Xinxin learned to cook when she was so young, which really made Dan Dan have to admire.
However, in addition to admiring it, he seemed to feel more sorry for Liu Xinxin.
"Xinxin, did you lose a lot of fun when you were a child? People's children are all around their parents, and parents buy beautiful clothes for their children and cook delicious meals, have you never experienced it? Dan looked at Liu Xinxin lovingly and asked.
"No, although my parents are usually very busy at work, they give me no less love than other children of the same age. I was only sensible at a very young age. Liu Xinxin replied.
At this time, Liu Xinxin's steak had been fried, and she was holding two plates, and then put a steak in each plate.
Sprinkle some pepper and cumin at the end. Dan Dan smelled the fragrance.
"Dandan, let's eat, don't be busy." Liu Xinxin said to Dandan.
"But aren't there some side dishes that haven't been added?" Dan Dan looked at the side dish he had just washed in his hand and asked.
"It's okay, you don't have to worry about it, you can go out and eat first." Liu Xinxin said.
"How can it be, how can I eat a candlelight dinner first, of course, it is romantic enough for two people to eat at the same time. And you've been busy for tonight's candlelit dinner for so long, and I certainly can't eat it alone. Dan Dan said.
"It's okay, didn't you say you just smelled the steak and wanted to eat it? Then you can eat it first, and I'll make a vegetable salad. Liu Xinxin said.
"No, I'll wait for you, it's not interesting for me to eat alone." Dan Dan said.
Seeing Dan Dan insisting like this, Liu Xinxin had no choice but to say no more.
"Okay, then you can just watch me do it, it should be done soon." Liu Xinxin said, reaching out and asking Dan Dan to hand over the vegetables in his hand to him.
Liu Xinxin then took the vegetables and cut them on the cutting board.
Dan Dan saw that she was cutting very carefully, and basically the vegetables under her hands were cut evenly and beautifully.
"Liu Xinxin, the dishes you cut are so beautiful." Dan Dan praised lightly.
"Okay, are you complimenting me on my good knife work? To be honest, when I was just learning to chop vegetables, there were times when I cut my fingers, after all, beginners, there may be a little accident or something. Liu Xinxin said while not delaying the work in her hands.
"Xinxin, that must be painful, you are amazing." Dan Dan said.
Liu Xinxin could feel that Dan Dan was looking at her with admiration.
"I'm still scared, but because I'm skilled, it's less likely that that kind of situation will happen." Liu Xinxin said.
"Forget it, Xinxin, don't speak, be careful when chopping vegetables, and if you really cut your fingers, I must be distressed to death, otherwise let Mama Li and Mama Li cut it." Dan Dan said.
"No, don't worry, if you feel sorry for me, don't you feel sorry for Mama Li and Mama Li? They might even cut their fingers. Liu Xinxin said with a smile.
"Yes, everyone who cooks and chops vegetables feels so dangerous, they do such dangerous things every day, I sweat for them when I think about it." Dan Dan suddenly became nervous.
"Look at your appearance, women are not like men, women are born for the kitchen, there are very few women who can't cook, maybe there are only Canglan, you can't cook if she's good. But she doesn't have to cook herself. When Liu Xinxin said this, she suddenly showed great envy.
"Liu Xinxin, are you really envious of Canglan?" Dan Dan asked.
"That's not the case, everyone has their own destiny, she wasn't born for the kitchen, and I had to go down to the kitchen, it used to be like this, and it is like this now." Liu Xinxin said with a sigh.
"Actually, if you don't want to go into the kitchen to cook, isn't it? We have Mama Li and Mama Li, and I think their cooking skills are very good, and I am used to eating their food. Dan Dan said.
"Well, Mama Li, the food cooked by Mama Li is really delicious, and I like to eat it more, and I feel that it is much better than my cooking skills, but sometimes I especially want to cook and eat by myself. Maybe it's a habit that I grew up with. Liu Xinxin said.
After Liu Xinxin cut the vegetables, she put them all into a pot and boiled them in water.
"Liu Xinxin, what are you doing here?" Dan Dan asked curiously.
"It's delicious to cook it in water and then add some salad dressing and mix some cheese." Liu Xinxin replied.
"Oh, I seem to remember if there was such a dish at the candlelight dinner last time." Dan Dan suddenly realized.
"Yes, I also made this dish last time, but there are more vegetables here than last time, I can't help that last time it was Mama Li and Mama Li who bought the dishes, but this time we bought it ourselves, so we bought more." Liu Xinxin said.
"Oh, the vegetable salad last time was delicious, but I've only heard of fruit salad before, and I didn't expect vegetables to make a salad." Dan Dan sighed.
"Well, Dandan, since you regained your sense of taste, I love to cook for you more, haven't I stewed chicken soup for you before?" Liu Xinxin asked.
"Really?" Dan Dan was a little embarrassed, but he couldn't remember Liu Xinxin's stewed chicken soup for himself.
"Of course it is, Dandan, by the way, I seem to have forgotten that you probably don't remember." Liu Xinxin said apologetically.
"Yes, the clips I used to get along with you always felt incomplete, but don't worry, I really like you now." Dan Dan said.
"Hmm." Liu Xinxin's face turned red unconsciously.
Ms. Liu poured out the boiled vegetables and added the salad dressing and cheese.
Smelled its fragrance deeply, and then said to Dandan: "Dandan, we can eat." ”
Dan Dan was also excited, and he could finally eat.
He wasn't very hungry, but when he saw Liu Xinxin's busy appearance, he felt that she was too tired. I don't want her to be so tired.
Dan Dan and Liu Xinxin came out of the kitchen together, Dan Dan was holding a plate in one hand.
On the plate is steak. Liu Xinxin was carrying a large portion of vegetable salad, and the two of them walked to the table in the dining room.
Putting the salad and steak on the table, the two of them sat down as well.
At this time, two candles had been lit on the table. White candle with candlelight jumping on it.
Dan Dan turned off the lights, and the whole dining room was only flickering candlelight. The dishes on the table are warmly illuminated, and the happy faces of the two people.
Dan Dan suddenly took out a bottle of red wine from under the table.
Two goblets were already on the table.
The cup is huge, with a mouth big enough for a fist.
Dan Dan opened the red wine and slowly poured it into the glass.
The red color adds a lot of romance and charm to this dinner.
Liu Xinxin looked at Dan's gentle movements. The way he poured red wine really looked like a polite gentleman.
Liu Xinxin picked up the wine glass, and then raised it to Dandan.
Dan Dan also raised his wine glass, and the two of them collided with red wine, making a crisp sound.
Liu Xinxin and Dan Dan didn't say anything.
Dan drank all the red wine in the cup in one gulp, and Liu Xinxin also drank the red wine.
Although the capacity of the cup is quite large, Dan Dan only pours a little, so it is no problem to drink it all in one gulp.
"Dandan, let's eat steak." Liu Xinxin said to Dandan.
"Hmm." Dan Dan had been thinking about this steak for a long time, and at this time he couldn't wait to eat it with a knife and fork.
Left knife and right fork, Dan Dan is very skilled at eating the steak on the plate.
He is now proficient in how to eat Western food.
Dan Dan cuts the steak with a knife and then uses a fork to put the cut steak into his mouth.
Chewing it slowly, it looks delicious and enjoyable.
And Liu Xinxin also took a knife and fork to eat. She cut the steak with a knife while watching Dan Dan's expression of enjoyment.
"Dandan, it's delicious, right?" Liu Xinxin asked.
