"The dishes for the competition the day after tomorrow, Xiaozhu, are you ready? If there's anything you need my help with, just say. Zhou Yuchun couldn't help it, so he wanted to make up for it in other aspects.

Lin Xiaozhu had no intention of telling Zhou Yuchun about the dishes he participated in. She is really not at ease with Zhou Yuchun's temperament. said: "You better put more effort into preparing your own." I'm here, don't worry about it. Alright, let's go back quickly, it's time for dinner. ”

Seeing that Lin Xiaozhu didn't want to say it, Zhou Yuchun couldn't ask any more. Changing the subject, he said, "Then I'll tell you all the dishes I'm going to make, and you can help me get ideas." After speaking, he told me about the dishes he was going to make. Lin Xiaozhu also combined her strengths and weaknesses and analyzed her.

Zhou Yuchun was grateful, hesitated for a while, and then said angrily: "Xiaozhu, it's not me who says bad things behind my back. It's just that Xia Shan, because it's from the same village as you, looks good to you. But for a while, I saw that in addition to eating, he often tinkered with something in the small kitchen alone, and seemed to be practicing. Looking at him like that, it seems that he also wants to win the first place in the competition. But he doesn't want to think about it, how can he have today's results and rank second or third in the class without your care and guidance? At this critical juncture, not to mention trying my best to help you so that you can get the first place, but I want to compete with you, this person is too bad, right? ”

"Really?" Lin Xiaozhu was a little surprised. Thinking of what Xia Shan said to her, he understood his intention to win the first place. sighed in his heart and said with a smile: "This competition is naturally competitive with each other." What's the point if someone else gave me that first place? If you have the ability, I don't mind if you compete with me for first place too. ”

That being said, people have to be grateful, right? Summer Mountain has received a lot of help from you. But I am hostile to you, and I can't get used to him. Anyway, whether I have the ability or not, I won't fight with you. Zhou Yuchun said sincerely, "There is already a Wu Pingqiang, and this time there is another Xia Shan, although you have always been powerful, you should not take it lightly." This first place must not be taken by them. ”

"Don't worry, I'll take it seriously." Lin Xiaozhu patted her on the shoulder. The brow frowned slightly. His eyes fell silent.

Xu was stimulated by that exam, and since then, Wu Pingqiang has been practicing hard, plus he is also smart, and soon he frequently performed well in various competitions in the red case and the white case, and became Lin Xiaozhu's biggest competitor. And Xia Shan himself is talented. Coupled with Lin Xiaozhu's guidance from time to time, the results are also not bad. If you don't use your own secret recipes, just use the methods taught by the instructors. It is becoming more and more difficult for Lin Xiaozhu to make dishes that surpass them again and again.

And this time, the competition was announced, and it was divided into preliminary and semi-final. Only individual results will be recorded. It's not about the group. Only three people will be selected for the preliminary round and only one person will be selected for the semi-finals. And this number one. As Xia Shan said, you can make a request. The title of the preliminary round was also announced yesterday, a staple dish, a meat and a vegetarian dish, two dishes and a soup.

So, in order to win first place, she has to think carefully about what kind of dishes she is going to make.

It was summer, and it was getting dark late. After dinner, Lin Xiaozhu went to the kitchen with Su Xiaoshu and Zhou Yuchun. Xia Shan's figure, without exception, stayed in the kitchen again. His diligence is well-known for his cooking class and even the entire villa. Now the big game is just around the corner. He can't wait to stay in this small kitchen when he eats and sleeps.

Lin Xiaozhu wanted to go over to persuade Xia Shan, but when he saw Su Xiaoshu go directly into Xia Shan's small kitchen without concealment, he dispelled his thoughts. Turn and walk towards your kitchenette.

As soon as he rolled up his sleeves, Yuan Shi's voice came from the door: "Lin Xiaozhu." Childe is back and asks you to go over and cook. ”

Lin Xiaozhu turned around and said to Yuan Shi with a bitter face: "Brother Yuan Shi, I'm going to prepare for the competition, I really don't have time." Can you help me talk to my son, let a few teachers cook these days? ”

"That's not good, Childe said I'm going to eat the food you cooked."

Lin Xiaozhu had to put down his sleeves and complained: "I'm bored." I didn't eat the master's dishes, and asked me, an apprentice who had not yet left the master, to cook. After eating and not satisfied, I will be picky about this for a while, and picky about that for a while. Childe, why are you bothered? ”

Although Yuan Shi was the first person to be employed by Gongzi's side, he knew that he could not offend this little aunt and grandmother. Hearing this complaint, he didn't dare to use the rules of the villa to oppress people, and said with a shy smile: "That still means that Xiaozhu's dishes are well done." Childe finds fault with you, and that's to make you do better. I always praise you, but you haven't improved, have you? ”

Lin Xiaozhu was just not angry that he was enslaved by Yuan Tianye, and complained twice. Others can learn their own courses, but what about themselves? I have to feed the birds every day, and Yuan Tianye has to cook for him when he is in the villa. But I didn't get a penny to reward, and this psychology is always unbalanced. But for those who sold themselves into slavery, this imbalance is also a white imbalance. Who calls a man a master, and a slave thou?

After explaining to Su Xiaoshu, Lin Xiaozhu locked the door and followed Yuan Shi to the courtyard where Yuan Tianye lived.

As soon as I entered, I saw that Yuan Tianye was not wearing his blue robe as usual, sitting under the bamboo forest with a teacup and drinking tea. Probably just after bathing, he was wearing some wet black hair, sitting in front of the window and writing something.

Yuan Shi and Lin Xiaozhu went in, and when they saw this scene, they hurriedly stood quietly, not daring to make a sound, for fear of disturbing his thoughts.

Lin Xiaozhu stood there, very bored, and simply admired the handsome guy: this guy is eighteen years old, his eyebrows and eyes are getting darker and darker, coupled with an extremely straight and shaped nose bridge, and his lips that are not thin or thick, he looks more and more handsome than in the previous two years. I don't know when the height suddenly jumped up, a head taller than her. The figure becomes tall and big, too. Once she came to feed the birds in the morning, and met him to practice, his broad and thick shoulders, all his toned muscles, like a leopard preparing to hunt, and his beautiful body contained the power that could explode instantly, which shocked her.

"Is it pretty?" The man who was struggling to write suddenly asked a question.

Lin Xiaozhu and Yuan Shiyi were stunned, glanced at each other, and didn't know who and what they were referring to in this brainless sentence.

Seeing that Lin Xiaozhu didn't speak, Yuan Tianye turned his head. looked at her, and once again said clearly: "Is this son good-looking?" ”

Lin Xiaozhu was stunned, and then blushed slightly. However, this unnaturalness was only for a moment, and she suppressed it, changed to a down-to-earth and generous expression, and said, "It's good-looking." Childe's eyes are like ink, his nose is like a hanging gall, his muscles are white, and his lips are not red, he is the best-looking person Xiaozhu has ever seen. ”

The one who molested was molested!

Yuan Tianye looked at Lin Xiaozhu. The curvature of the corners of his mouth grew bigger and bigger, and finally he laughed out loud and loud. Putting down the pen in his hand, he stood up and walked in front of Lin Xiaozhu. Suddenly stretched out his hand and rubbed Lin Xiaozhu's hair: "You! What girl is so unashamed to praise a man? ”

The well-combed hair was rubbed up at once, and Lin Xiaozhu tilted his head angrily. Avoid his claws.

"How long has it been since my son left the villa?" Yuan Tianye suddenly smiled and asked seriously.

"How long has it been?" Lin Xiaozhu didn't expect him to ask such a question. Twisting his brows, he thought carefully for a while, and then he snapped his fingers. Counting seriously, "Childe seems to be ...... It seems that he left the villa on the second day of the sixth month. Oh. No, no, it should be the third year of junior high school, and to this day, one, two, three...... Well, Childe stayed outside for seventeen days. ”

The more Yuan Tianye listened, the darker his face became. Hearing the back, he gritted his teeth and said: "This son left the villa on the first day of the sixth month, and it has been nineteen days now. ”

"Oh, how long has it been?" Lin Xiaozhu blinked, not understanding why the face of the person in front of him changed all of a sudden.

Yuan Tianye looked at her ignorance. Suddenly, he felt a sense of excitement and waved his hand: "Okay, let's go cook." ”

"Oh. I don't know what Childe wants to eat? Lin Xiaozhu's mind suddenly turned to making food. What should he make for him?

When I was first called to cook for him. She once used all her strength to make him the most special and delicious food, hoping that he could be as good as Tang Ningyuan when he ate well. Give her some silver. But this small bag has no money, and if she wants to reward a few dishes, she will be half angry. So later, when it was called a dish, she began to slack off, although she didn't dare to make it unpalatable, but she also chose to make it simple.

She rolled her eyes and said, "It's also hot this day, and the son has come back from afar, so he must not have a very good appetite." Why don't I make a bowl of cold noodles for my son? ”

"Cold noodles? What is it? Yuan Tianye looked at her with a puzzled face, "Is it a cold face?" This one sounds good. Just do it. ”

Eh, people who co-authored this era still don't know how to make cold noodles? Lin Xiaozhu suddenly felt that he had moved a stone and hit his feet. Her secret recipe, she lost another one so inexplicably. In the past, there was Leng Tao in China, but in the Tang Dynasty. How did she know that the people here didn't know how to eat cold noodles? Or is it the wrong name?

Anyway, it's all said, so let's do it.

Mix the egg noodles, roll out thin slices, cut into thin strips, and spread evenly in the steamer to steam a cup of tea. Then pass a hot water to fully wash off the alkali in the noodles, then rinse with well water, and use cold boiled water to pass a while. Pick up a clean bamboo pole and put it on the tuyere to blow. Drain the water in this way, and it will harden after the wind, and the taste will be more chewy and chewy.

Taking advantage of the work of drying the noodles, the head of the mung bean sprouts is picked, the oil is stir-fried, the green onion and ginger are stir-fried, the shredded chicken and bean sprouts are stir-fried, and the seasoning becomes the topping. Then pick the noodles and mix them with an appropriate amount of cooked oil, put them on a plate, then pour the toppings, put the cucumber shreds as thin as a hair, scoop a spoonful of peanut butter, pour balsamic vinegar, sesame oil, and soy sauce, and a bowl of cold noodles is ready.

Just such a simple bowl of noodles was placed in front of Yuan Tianye. The pale yellow noodles, the white bean sprouts, the emerald green cucumbers, the golden shredded chicken, and the tempting fragrance of the sour vinegar, sesame oil, and peanut butter mixed together, made Yuan Tianye can't help but move his index finger. I didn't care about talking to Lin Xiaozhu more, and after mixing well, I sandwiched a chopstick into the mouth.

The instant coolness of the summer heat, the slight acidity of the rice vinegar, the saltiness of the sauce, the fragrance of the peanut butter, the crispness of the cucumber shreds and bean sprouts, the smooth tendons of the noodles, and the slightly tender fleshy feeling of the shredded chicken, all of a sudden, are combined into a set of wonderful music in the mouth for a while, the crispness of the percussion music, the melodiousness of the strings, the treble and the bass, all of which are so harmonious. And in this beautiful movement, there is always a main theme, that is, the fragrance and thickness of the tahini paste are smooth. It's everywhere, and when you have to look for it, it's like it's gone. This one, intentionally or unintentionally, if there is nothing, plucks your heart, makes you want to stop, and you can't give it up.

"Lin Xiaozhu ......" swallowed a cold noodle, Yuan Tianye looked at Lin Xiaozhu who was standing aside and glanced at himself from time to time, wanting to see how he felt, and his mood was agitated.

"Huh? Childe, isn't it to your liking? Seeing that his expression was different, Lin Xiaozhu asked in surprise. Her cold noodles, but her aunt in Shanghai taught her to make them, are the most refreshing to eat in summer. It stands to reason that Yuan Tianye won't dislike it.

"No, it tastes good." Yuan Tianye swallowed the words that were about to reach his mouth, "How much have you done?" You and Yuan Shi should also go and eat. ”

"Yes." It is rare to hear that Yuan Tianye is not picky, but praises himself, Lin Xiaozhu is very happy. She didn't move immediately, blinked her eyes, looked at Yuan Tianye, and asked, "Does Childe like this cold noodle very much?" ”

"Hmm." Yuan Tianye had no intention of speaking, and put another chopstick of noodles into his mouth.

"Childe, are you the judge of the competition the day after tomorrow?"

Yuan Tianye didn't answer, he swallowed the cold noodles in his mouth slowly, and then raised his eyes and looked at Lin Xiaozhu: "What?" What the hell do you want to do? ”

"Look, on such a hot day, you have to taste all kinds of hot dishes, how uncomfortable! If I made this cold noodle dish as my main dish, would you feel better when you ate it? ”

"I felt it then, and I knew it then. Now, who knows? Yuan Tianye smiled and picked up a chopstick of cold noodles and put them in his mouth.

"What can you do if you say it? Really, little ghost. Lin Xiaozhu glared, made a grimace at his back, waved at Yuan Shiyi, and went to eat cold noodles. Tired and tired to do more work, that's all there is to it, she has to eat more, and eat her reward back.

Yuan Tianye, who saw Lin Xiaozhu's grimace in the afterglow, swallowed his cold noodles, and said slowly at her back: "By the way, Lin Xiaozhu, what have you eaten during this time?" How do I feel like you're gaining weight? ”

Ruyi saw the pretty figure in front of him stumbling beside the bushes in the courtyard, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly. Savoring the fragrance of the smooth sesame paste in his mouth, remembering that Lin Xiaozhu didn't remember when he went out, the smile on his face slowly sank again.

(4,000 words, not too lazy!) There is no class tomorrow, you can double change, hehe! Thank you Jane and Rose for the tip and Qianhua Night, I like the song of Zilong, and my favorite pink ticket from Man Tingfang! (To be continued)
