Chapter XXVIII

After Lin Xiaoxiao decided to stay, she took the initiative to contract the kitchen, and it was really not her style to eat and live for nothing in other people's homes.

After this toss, it was time for lunch, and after cleaning up a little, Lin Xiaoxiao walked into the kitchen.

Turning grief into motivation to cook, she decided to eat better this meal, and when it comes to food to relieve her worries, I'm afraid only skewers can relieve her current mood.

Take out the best sirloin steak from the refrigerator, cut it into small pieces, and then add various condiments to marinate, Lin Xiaoxiao's exclusive secret recipe for barbecue is to add some rosemary to the marinating meat, which can highlight the deliciousness of the meat even more.

Taking advantage of the time when the meat was marinating, Lin Xiaoxiao also cut side dishes such as bell peppers, zucchini, and onions.

She belongs to the type that tears when she sees onions, and these side dishes torture her a lot.

Whisk the chopped bell peppers and zucchini, olive oil, salt and pepper.

Zucchini, on the other hand, needs to be marinated separately because it needs to be fried in a pan until the skin is slightly soft, so as to ensure that it is fully cooked when grilled.

Lin Xiaoxiao took out the zucchini that had already wafted out of the pot, took out the baking sheet, spread tin foil, brushed a layer of oil on it, and then took out bamboo skewers to put the beef and side dishes together.

Just as this was about to be completed, Lin Xiaoxiao accidentally scratched his hand with a sharp iron stick.

"Shhh The sharp pain instantly pulled the distracted Lin Xiaoxiao back to reality, and hurriedly put down the meat skewers in his hand, rinsed the wound with a lot of water, and found a band-aid placed in the kitchen.

After wrapping the wound, Lin Xiaoxiao began to skewer meat skewers wholeheartedly.

Once you're all dressed, brush the surface with oil, preheat the oven to 200 degrees and bake for eight minutes, then turn over and bake for five minutes.

The aroma of the barbecue was very strong, and when Lin Xiaoxiao took it out, was about to turn it over, and roast it again, he found that Mother Lu was already staring at the kitchen door.

Seeing Lu's mother's excited expression, Lin Xiaoxiao not only smiled a little.

"Auntie, you wait a little longer, it'll be fine right away!" Lin Xiaoxiao tried to get Lu's mother to return to the dining table, but as soon as Lu's mother heard this, her head shook like a rattle, and she had to insist at the kitchen door.

Seeing this, Lin Xiaoxiao could only shake her head helplessly and began to prepare her secret barbecue sauce.

Melt the butter in a pan, add the barbecue sauce and honey, wait until they are boiling, and sprinkle with a layer of chopped parsley.

While it was done, the oven also clanged and the job was done.

Take out the skewers, put them on a plate and serve.

Before Lin Xiaoxiao beckoned Lu's mother to come to dinner, she saw Lu's mother rushing to the table at an alarming speed, picking up a bunch of meat to eat first.

Lin Xiaoxiao thoughtfully put the sauce aside, sat down and began to eat.

In the summer, no one can refuse the charm of grilled skewers, a few meat skewers in the stomach, Lin Xiaoxiao has a feeling of fullness, and can't help but slow down.

"Auntie, isn't Lu Hongshen going to eat at home today?" Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the empty position opposite and asked with some curiosity.

It's not that she is boasting, according to the usual, as long as she cooks, Lu Hongshen will definitely not be absent, what's wrong today?

"He seems to have gone to rough the four feelings of the company's west." Mother Lu's mouth was full of meat, and she said vaguely.

"Leave him alone for now, he shouldn't have enough to eat when he comes back." After Lu's mother finished speaking, she picked up two more meat skewers.

At this moment, Lu Hongshen didn't know that he had missed the delicious barbecue, and looked at the people at the table with a blue face.

"Why did she faint, and what did you do?" Although there was not much emotional fluctuation in his tone, his slightly narrowed eyes revealed signs of danger.

His appearance startled the person opposite, and he hurriedly bowed 90 degrees and kept apologizing.

"Cancel the rest and get out." Lu Hong waved his hand at them in annoyance.

Until now, he doesn't know if he was playing too much, or if the woman's psychological tolerance was too poor.

After eating, Lin Xiaoxiao originally wanted to accompany Lu's mother to the back garden for a walk, but received a call from the court.

Hearing the news that he was being sued, Lin Xiaoxiao was in a relieved mood just now, and immediately fell to the bottom again.

"You can choose to contact the parties for private mediation, and I hope you have a pleasant chat." The formulaic female voice on the other side hung up the phone after speaking.

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the phone number sent blankly and was silent for a long time.

Mother Lu, who had changed her clothes from upstairs, went down the stairs and saw Lin Xiaoxiao's dejected appearance.

"What's wrong with Shinoshio?"

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't answer or move as if he hadn't heard.

Mother Lu hurriedly walked to Lin Xiaoxiao's side and tentatively stroked her head.

"I was prosecuted, it was food poisoning." Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly spoke.

Hearing this, Mother Lu was shocked and said, "How come! ”

But at this time, Lin Xiaoxiao looked exceptionally calm, and called the mobile phone number sent by the court without crying or making trouble.

Lu's mother also went to call Lu Hongshen and asked him to come back quickly.

"Lin Xiaoxiao, there is no 200,000 today, don't think about solving this matter, I am now hospitalized by you!" As soon as the phone was connected, a roaring male voice came from the other side.

Lin Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and tried to communicate with him, "Sir, the ingredients in our store are all fresh, are you mistaken?" ”

But the man didn't listen to her explanation at all, "Your stores have been ordered to close because of unqualified food tests, and you are the one who killed me when I entered the hospital!" If you don't have 200,000, you're waiting to go to jail! With that, the man hung up.

Lin Xiaoxiao's complexion, which was already lacking in blood, was as white as a piece of paper at the moment.

200,000, which is equivalent to a sky-high price for her!

What's more, she has no financial resources now, this person is clearly the wall down and everyone pushes her, trying to blackmail her, but if it really goes to the court, what if more people come to blackmail her.

She is now helpless in City A, do you want her to sell her kidneys?

"Xiaoxiao, don't be afraid, I have already asked Lu Hongshen to come back, if you have any difficulties, just tell him!" Mother Lu comforted Lin Xiaoxiao on the side.

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up slightly, if Lu Hongshen was willing to lend her money, wouldn't all this be solved!

Lin Xiaoxiao never looked forward to Lu Hongshen's appearance, but she was like an ant on a hot pot, anxiously waiting for Lu Hongshen to land.

"What's wrong?" As soon as Lu Hongshen entered the door, he saw tears flickering in the corners of Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes.

Seeing Lu Hongshen, Lin Xiaoxiao immediately stood up.

"Lu Hongshen, can you lend me 200,000?" Lin Xiaoxiao raised his head to meet Lu Hongshen's gaze.

"What do you want 200,000 for?" Lu Hongshen frowned and asked puzzled.

"Someone said that eating something in my store caused food poisoning, and he asked for 200,000 yuan, I... I'm short on money right now... So can you..."Lin Xiaoxiao lowered his head more and more as he spoke, and finally buried himself in the ground.
