Chapter 41: The Warm Feast
said that a friend came, Lin Luoran was in a bad situation before, and many classmates didn't have much contact with each other, so when they went to inform others at this time, they had a feeling of showing off, so in fact, it was Baojia and Sister Wang who were coming.
But the one who followed behind Bao Jia, the person in a straight suit and wearing gold wire glasses, wasn't it Liu Zheng?
Lin's father and Lin mother have all seen Baojia and know that she is good to Lin Luoran, and they both like Baojia very much. But seeing Liu Zheng so elegant and elegant, obviously not from the same class as them, he was a little restrained.
Fortunately, Fat Cui didn't come today, otherwise the gold necklace around his neck would be too dazzling. Although Wang Miao'e is rich, she looks at the black and strong, and the high-end fashion on her body is blind, but she is very fond of Lin Ma's eyes, and she feels that she is a person from a country.
Liu Zheng brought two big bags of gifts, called "uncle" and "aunt", which were gentle and elegant, which provoked Aunt Li to sigh to Mother Lin behind her back, "Xiao Ran is amazing now, and the people I have made friends with are people with status." β
Comparing hearts to hearts, no matter how good the relationship is, when Mother Lin saw that Aunt Li's family was suddenly rich, she would also have some awkwardness, so she patted Second Aunt Li: "What did you say, she just has an identity, don't you still call your second aunt?" β
said that Aunt Li picked vegetables with peace of mind.
Liu Zheng is not a person with a broken mouth, at this time, after looking at such an exquisite house, sitting in the living room drinking tea, he couldn't help but slightly curl the corners of his mouth: "Living in a house of 20 million and receiving a salary of several thousand from Jumbo Xuan, this is for us to publicize, Sister Lin Daqian should you consider it, we can also hype it up with it." β
Seeing Lin Luoran's blushing, Bao Jia hammered Liu Zheng: "Liu Dashao, your family has a lot of mansions, I haven't treated you like this!" β
Liu Zheng didn't talk about this, and turned to talk to Wang Miao'e about business. Originally, the province was dominated by the Fumanlou family, but since the Liu family entered the station, it has gradually formed an alliance with retail investors like Wang Miao'e and Cui Fatzi, so several families have a lot of business dealings, but they can talk about one place.
Bao Jia saw them talking about business, so he pulled Lin Luoran to help in the kitchen. As for Dad Lin, he was dull and afraid of embarrassing his daughter by saying the wrong thing, so he took Luo Dong to the backyard to fish.
Needless to say, the vegetables are all from Lin Luoran's space, freshly picked and made, and they are very fresh. The beef and pork ribs were bought by Bao Jia, and Sister Wang brought a case of wine, which is very in line with her style.
Bao Jia is not a delicate lady who does not touch the spring water, she can wash rice and pick vegetables, and even some simple dishes.
When Lin Luoran and the others went, Lin Ma was collecting juice for the braised pork, the lean meat was crispy and soft, and the fat meat was shiny but not greasy, it was Lin Ma's specialty dish, Lin Luoran's family conditions were not good when he was a child, so a bowl of braised pork can only be eaten during the festival.
Liu Zheng and Bao Jia, as well as Sister Wang, which one of them didn't grow up eating fine dishes in the city? Lin Luoran was afraid that they would not be used to eating Lin Ma's greasy dishes, so he asked Lin Ma to rest for a while and prepare to fry two more dishes by herself.
Bao Jia was not polite, "stealing" a piece of braised pork, screaming when he was hot, and giving a thumbs up to Lin Ma, which made Lin Ma, who was still a little lost in the right to stir-fry, laugh.
Lin Luoran took two Chinese cabbage plants produced in the space, only selected the delicate part in the middle and cut it into slender strips, steamed it through water, poured the sour juice, and made a refreshing Chinese cabbage, topaz-like texture of cabbage, dotted with two coriander leaves, which is pleasing to the eye.
As for the unused leaves, Bao Jia volunteered, chopped the knife and ran to feed the koi.
Originally, when feeding the fish, the koi carp was too fat and lazy, and when they smelled the smell of cabbage leaves in the space, they actually fought like crazy. Bao Jia shouted, causing Aunt Li to go out to watch the excitement.
Only Lin Luoran and Lin Ma were left in the kitchen, Lin Ma looked in the direction of the living room, and quietly pulled Lin Luoran to ask Liu Zheng what his relationship was with her.
Lin Luoran had cold sweat on his forehead, and repeatedly explained that he was just an ordinary friend, and Lin's mother seemed to believe it or not, and lowered her head and chopped the ribs in a muffled voice.
Lin Luoran had no choice but to flick his forehead, and only by telling Lin Ma that Liu Zheng was Bao Jia's fiancΓ©, Lin Ma believed that it didn't matter to them. It's just that Lin Luoran has good ears, and she heard Lin Ma muttering "It's a pity", God knows what she is sorry for.
Bao Jia and Aunt Li came back after feeding the fish, Lin Luodong jumped back to the kitchen, still holding a big silver carp with two or three catties in his hand, Xiao Zhengtai's excited little face was red, and he looked at Lin Luoran expectantly.
Dad Lin was fishing in the back garden, and Lin Luoran asked gently, "Did you catch it?" β
Xiao Zhengtai nodded: "Father Lin!" β
It's not easy for him to be able to speak to people, and Lin Luoran doesn't force him, as long as he can understand the meaning. It seems that this fish was really caught by Lin Dad, seeing that the pond water is still relatively clear, how do you know that there is such a big silver carp hidden.
Seeing that the silver carp caught by Xiao Luodong was slippery and struggling, Lin Luoran took a basin and said to Lin's mother: "It seems that there is still a lot of stock in the pond, one day we will put the water and catch it slowly!" β
Bao Jia nodded, "You must call me when you catch fish, haha." β
Lin Luoran spat at her: "You are still the eldest lady, you are more excited than anyone else when you hear this!" β
Queen Baojia went to make a gesture to scratch her, which made Mother Lin and Second Aunt Li laugh without saying anything, and even Lin Luodong had a smile on her little face.
Mother Lin looked at the big silver carp and was in a dilemma: "It's a pity that it's a silver carp, the fishy smell is too strong, otherwise it can be steamed." β
Lin Luoran pressed Lin's mother on the shoulder: "You go to rest and watch me make a silver carp hot pot to ensure that there is no fishy smell!" β
When Aunt Li heard that she was going to do this, she quickly killed the fish, cut it into thick slices, and put it in water made of white wine, refined salt, pepper, balsamic vinegar, ginger and shallots to remove the fishy smell, and Lin Luoran put two spoons of beer.
Bao Jia was amazed by the gang, and stretched his neck to learn a specialty dish as well. Even Lin Luodong didn't blink his eyes, which made Lin Luoran secretly think, could it be that this is still a boy who loves cooking?
Seeing that Bao Jia wanted to learn, he fished out the fish that had been soaked for two minutes and instructed her to taste it.
Aunt Li laughed and said, "How could she", knocked an egg, only beat the egg white on the fish, and put seasonings on the other.
Bao Jia finally grabbed a stirring job, a pair of long chopsticks stirred happily, seeing that Lin Luodong was interested, and handed him the chopsticks, both of them were very interested.
Lin Luoran cut a large plate of pickled ginger, pickled pepper and sauerkraut for later use, put lard and vegetable oil and stir-fried until fragrant, poured sauerkraut and various ingredients, put millet chili rings, and finally mixed it into fresh soup.
When the soup is boiled, the silver carp can be served after boiling for 3 minutes, sprinkle with chopped coriander and chopped green onions, and the aroma will make people appetizing.
on the dining table.
Wang Miao'e saw that the dishes were ready, and pointed to a plate of cold tomatoes, "This is also the taste you gave to my home?" β
Lin Luoran nodded, and Wang Miao'e concentrated on dealing with the plate of tomatoes in front of her.
Bao Jia bit the cabbage in his mouth, and his eyes were still fixed on the silver carp hot pot. Second Aunt Li saw that everyone greeted the material, and thought while eating braised pork, but the people in this city are strange, they only eat vegetarian and don't eat meat.
Hey, no, why are the two elders of the Lin family also vegetarians? Second Aunt Li tried to sandwich a spoonful of stir-fried spinach, and the crispy and sweet taste instantly made Second Aunt Li give up her braised pork, and the chopsticks never stopped.
This Lin family's vegetarian dish is so delicious! Second Aunt Li was full of only this thought in her head.
After dinner, Second Aunt Li wanted to go back tomorrow, so Lin Luoran went to see Liu Zheng them.
Wang Miao'e is a man of action, she eats and drinks and holds a bunch of vegetables, and leaves as soon as she steps on the accelerator, and there is no shadow for a long time.
Although the R city in winter is not as good as the dripping ice in the north, the wind is cold at night, Liu Zheng opened the car door, as if he had just remembered something, and held the car door and asked, "I heard that Mrs. Cui said that you are going to go this time?" β
Lin Luoran was at a loss for a while, and it took a few seconds to react and realize that it was estimated that he was talking about this trip to the China-Myanmar border, so he was a little embarrassed. She took Liu's salary, and always asked for leave to do personal things, and she didn't know how to explain to Liu Zheng.
"I ......"
Liu Zheng seemed to see her embarrassment, and said with a smile: "I see that you are very interested in gambling stones, and Mrs. Cui also said that you are talented, so it is better to change from a teller to a material picking consultant, and the salary is also a basic salary plus commission, how about it?" In fact, Wang Miao'e's original words were that Lin Luoran was the god of wealth who spit out dollars, and it was a pity that he was lucky enough to be useless.
Lin Luoran has long felt that as she gets busier and busier, the work of jewelry and jade sales is too inflexible, and it is no longer suitable for her, but she has always been reluctant to give Zhenbaoxuan the aura of not wanting money for her.
She only needs to pick some rough stones every time she goes to the scene, it won't be too outstanding, and she won't let the Liu family lose money, so she has an excuse to absorb spiritual energy everywhere, which is simply too suitable for her. This is what he wants in his heart, how could Lin Luoran refuse, so he naturally nodded in agreement with Liu Zheng's opinion.
"Is Boga going?"
Bao Jia was wearing a thick cotton coat, and he was so cold that he stamped his feet, and his teeth kept fighting: "Don't go, I'm going to go to the imperial capital with my grandfather in two days, and I don't know when I'll come back!" β
Her Royal Highness the Queen snorted very unsightly, and laughed twice: "You have to help me keep an eye on Liu Zheng, lest he fall in love with Yunnan Sister, and it is best to take care of him personally." β
In a word, Liu Zheng pushed his glasses Lin Luoran looked at the sky, glanced at her, and went back.
Not to mention how Lin Luoran would explain to Lin's father and mother when she went back, how she could afford such a big house, just said that Liu Zheng and Bao Jia were on the road, Bao Jia's eyes were sharp, and when he saw a smile on the corner of his mouth, he said quietly:
"If you like people, you have to say it early, reserved people, you don't even have soup to drink!"
Liu Zheng braked sharply and almost hit the roadside fence. After a shock, Bao Jia didn't expect that his casual words would have such power, so he shrunk his neck and stopped talking.
Liu Zheng stared at her, trying to justify something, but he didn't know where to start.
