Chapter 154: Swimming in the Lake
When it comes to washing vegetables, An Juan can barely fake it to others, but when it comes to cutting vegetables and cooking, she will never let others help.
Seeing that the chef was already about to catch the dishes, An Juan still opened his mouth to stop him: "No need, I can come by myself...... If the chef is not at ease, he can watch from the sidelines, but he doesn't have to worry about me not being able to cook well...... Since I dare to cook, I have two brushes. ”
It was impossible for the chef to put it on again after such a direct refusal, so he put on a smirk and stood aside with some playfulness, waiting to see An Wan come out of the way.
I have seen a lot of this kind of confident young chef, and many of them have watched other people cook, and then they are full of confidence that they can do it that well...... Of course, there is still a certain gap between fantasy and reality, most of them need to be under his guidance to complete the production of a dish, and a few have a good memory, and the taste of the dish is also average.
Glancing casually at the chef, Anwan could clearly see the disdain in his eyes.
However, in this regard, the very powerful An Juan did not think so, she skillfully placed a handful of vegetables on the cutting board, and then picked up the kitchen knife, cut it with the most standard posture, and looked carefully, she would be surprised to find that the length of the vegetables on the cutting board was the same.
The chef had been observing Anwan and had noticed this phenomenon as well.
He took a step closer and took a closer look at the length of the vegetables, and the disapproval in his heart finally faded a little, and he was able to estimate Cha Anwan more seriously.
Looking at the appearance and result of chopping vegetables, he should be a skilled cooker.
He temporarily removed a little prejudice in his heart, and then calmed down, maintained a flat complexion, and continued to watch An Juan's every move.
After cutting the vegetables, An Juan cut the meat into small cubes, mixed it with the vegetables, added a little flour, successfully rolled them into balls, and then fried them in the pan, a refreshing aroma came out of the pot with her movements, and when it drifted to the chef's side, it seemed to have a somewhat tempting feeling.
The chef took a deep breath and finally gave up his previous evaluation of An Juan in the accusation of facts.
He had to admit that An Juan is not only not a big lady who doesn't touch the spring water with her fingers and can't cook, she is very skilled in cooking, and her cooking skills are very good.
After making the croquettes, An Juan stood in front of the stove and thought for a while, and then made some small snacks.
Now that it's hot, she worries that some people might suffer from heat stroke or discomfort from the sun, so she made a small drawer of mung bean cakes.
The treats were packed in delicate boxes.
By the time the box was finally packed, the chef no longer simply stared at An Juan, but stepped forward directly and humbly told all the doubts encountered when watching An Juan's cooking.
Seeing that the chef understood the gap between the two and no longer put on the face of the elders, An Juan's mood also improved a lot, and she also chose to answer a lot of questions about the chef.
An Juan made a lot of things, and the boxes she took were a little insufficient.
A little distressed, An Juan carefully examined the upper and lower layers of the box, wanting to squeeze these pastries into it.
At this time, the chef, who admired An Juan very much, hurriedly spoke: "Girl, I have a food box here that is temporarily useless, you can use it first." ”
With that, he rummaged through the lower layer of the drawer and found a box that was obviously half the size of An Juan's food box, and handed it to An Juan.
The chef's kindness, An Wan did not refuse.
She smiled and thanked the box: "Thank you, master, I'll return it to you when I come back in the evening." ”
"It's okay, it's okay." The cook shook his head hurriedly.
Arranged the snacks and meatballs in the food box, An Wan left the kitchen with it, walked to Luo Yelin and the others who were waiting for her, and apologized with a smile: "Have you waited for me for a long time?" I'm sorry. ”
"No, no." Luo Yelin hurriedly responded: "As soon as we sat down, you came back." ”
Knowing that Luo Yelin was saying kind words, An Wan pursed her lips and smiled, and then lifted the food box in her hand: "I have packed all the dishes and rice I just cooked, let's go." ”
Fengcheng was not large, and the small lake in the center of the city was not far from the inn where they were staying, so after deliberation, they decided to go on foot.
Before I reached the lake, I was greeted by a smell with the smell of lake water.
An Juan, who had been in the kitchen for a long time, couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then sighed: "This smell is so fresh, it smells very comfortable." ”
Seeing that An Juan liked the taste of the lake very much, Luo Yelin's eyes lit up and invited: "Since you like to stay by the water, then we will go to the lake in Jincheng together after a few days in Jincheng?" ”
"Okay," An Wan looked at the situation by the lake left and right: "Look, there is a gazebo there, let's go sit down?" ”
After about half an hour, they were already seated in the gazebo.
The gazebo is actually not a hot lake, it was dug by a large family more than ten years ago, so although this lake is beautiful, not everyone can enter it, and it takes a certain amount of money to get in.
Ordinary people don't choose to pay to see the lake up close, at most to see the scenery on the periphery.
So even though the flowers in the lake are so beautiful, the koi fish swim like a strip of red cloth, and there is no one in the gazebo.
Luo Yelin and the others paid and walked directly along the wooden bridge into the pavilion.
The small table in the gazebo is very clean, and the gazebo is surrounded by flowers, which looks like it has been carefully cared for.
An Juan stepped forward quickly and carefully wiped the surface of the table and chair to make sure that the dust on it had been cleaned before letting the other three sit down.
The snacks and dishes were laid out on the table, and the four of them sat down in a circle.
The lotus flowers next to the pavilion are in full bloom, and there are red fish swimming around under the leaves of the lotus flowers, which looks like a beautiful picture.
Looking at the scene next to the pavilion, Song Qin exclaimed: "I usually only see the scene here from a distance outside, but this is the first time I have come in to take a closer look at the situation!" ”
Song Jian suddenly thought of something after following the lotus flowers nearby, and said: "When I have time, bring your mother over to have a look, I remember that she has been chattering since she gave birth to you, saying that she wanted to come here to see the flowers, but unfortunately I had no money at the time, so I had to put this matter aside." ”
At such a good time, when she suddenly heard her father talk about Li Xiuzhen, Song Qin pursed her lips and couldn't help but retort: "Father, you miss others in your heart, she doesn't necessarily want to come to see the lotus...... What she wants to see now should be much more valuable than lotus flowers. ”
Song Qin's words were not good, but Song Jian also understood.
"Alas...... I have to be benevolent and righteous, no matter what happens to her, we two have to have a clear conscience, don't we? He asked Song Qin.
There is nothing wrong with this, Song Qin thought about it for a while, and then nodded hesitantly: "Father is right." ”
The father and daughter quickly reached an agreement on the matter of Li Xiuzhen.
An Juan kept tilting her head to look at the chat between the two of them, and suddenly thought of something halfway, turned her head and whispered to Luo Yelin, for fear of being heard by Song Qin and Song Jian, her voice was very low: "Yelin, I think after getting Li Xiuzhen back, Qin'er and Brother Song are not happy...... They look even more depressed and even conflicted. ”
"Hmm." Luo Yelin pulled An Juan to stand up, and the two of them walked to the water's edge, leaning over to observe the koi under their feet together.
At the same time, he whispered in response to An Juan's words: "That's right, in fact, life is like this...... When I get the things I've been looking forward to, I feel that it's not as beautiful as I once had in my heart, and I'm even a little more bored, but if I can't get it, I will miss it and look forward to it. ”
"This is ......" An Juan suddenly thought of a modern lyric, so he tentatively spoke: "'What you can't get is always in turmoil, but what you are favored has no fear'? ”
Her words strangely fell into Luo Yelin's ears, and Luo Yelin's eyes lit up.
"Juan'er, your sentence is very well analyzed!" He exclaimed, and did not forget to repeat these two lyrics: "Those who can't get are in turmoil, and those who are favored have no fear...... That's exactly what it is. ”
After being praised by Luo Yelin for a few words, An Juan touched her head a little embarrassedly and explained: "Actually, this is not something I created myself, and I am not so talented...... This is something I saw somewhere by accident, and I wrote it down when I thought it was very interesting, and I was very impressed, and now I see that the situation is very consistent, so I said this sentence. ”
After listening to An Juan's explanation, Luo Yelin smiled and felt that An Juan's sentence was completely inconsistent.
Regardless of whether he gets this woman or not, he will never be "fearless", because An Juan is a very good person, he needs to keep himself improving, and always pay attention to An Juan, so that he can always get An Juan.
Telling the thoughts in his heart to An Juan, Luo Yelin had a doting smile on his face.
Suddenly hearing this kind of confession that sounded ordinary at first glance, but was so warm and frightening after thinking about it, An Juan's face was a little red, but she quickly came back to her senses and noticed a huge red koi under her feet, so she hurriedly pulled Luo Yelin to watch: "Yelin, look, this fish is so big and beautiful!" ”
"It's fat." Luo Yelin glanced at the fish, although he knew that it shouldn't be, but he still vaguely blamed the fish in his heart...... If it hadn't appeared, he would have been able to express his affection to An Juan more.
This kind of candor and confession is not very common.
Thinking of this, Luo Yelin said with a little malice: "This fish is so fat, I want to eat fish when I see it." ”、
An Juan didn't feel Luo Yelin's emotions, so she directly responded to Luo Yelin's words: "If you want to eat fish, when you return to the inn, I will make you a fish." ”
