After watching TV, Qi Xiao stood up and stretched: "What do you want to eat at night?" ”

"I haven't done it yet, I bought a lot of ingredients, but the chef hasn't contacted it yet, and the embassy asked us to ask again tomorrow." On the side, Zhao Qianyu walked over with the phone and said.

"Your country even gives you a cook...... The treatment is so good? Jacques shook his head helplessly, shocked and envious.

"Who seldom those American chefs? Tell the embassy to stop tossing and I'll do it myself. Qi Xiao waved his hand, stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

"Do it yourself?" Wang Zhe looked at Qi Xiao and his face was shocked, "That's good, everything is in the kitchen, I want to see what good things you can make as a superhero." ”

"Want to help? I have a Level 4 qualification certificate for Chinese cooks, and I took the exam in Shenzhen. Jacques asked politely, getting up.

"No, you are the first in the New Oriental Culinary Academy, and your level is not enough to give me a hand." After Qi Xiao finished speaking, he rolled up his sleeves, the automatic door of the kitchen opened, and he walked in.

After a while, everyone heard the sound of ping-pong smashing pots and bowls, the hum of range hoods, and the flushing of dishes in the kitchen, as if dozens of monkeys were active.

Wang Zhe and Jacques glanced at each other, their eyes were full of curiosity, although Wang Zhe knew Qi Xiao a few days earlier than Jacques, but for him, everything about this young man was still a mystery to him.

In less than ten minutes, bursts of fragrance spread from the kitchen.

"So fast?" Jacques couldn't hold back any longer, and tiptoed tentatively towards the kitchen.

As soon as I walked to the kitchen door, the automatic door suddenly opened with a "pop", and a kitchen knife flew out with a swish against Jacques's scalp.

"Don't peek! Secret. Qi Xiao's voice came from the kitchen.

Jacques flashed quickly, flipped in the air like a tanuki, dodged the kitchen knife that passed close to him, and then watched the kitchen knife make a perfect arc in the air and flew back to the kitchen.

"Hey......" Jacques was about to protest Qi Xiao's impolite behavior, but only for a short glance at the moment the door opened, he forcibly held back his shout.

At the moment when the automatic door opened, he saw several bright long-bladed kitchen knives and various ingredients suspended in the air, and those knives were busy cutting meat and vegetables with light movements.

The knives pulsate lightly and smoothly as if they had been arranged by a machine, cutting ingredients into cubes, shreds, slices, strips, chunks or other shapes.

A huge broccoli swayed, suspended in the air and decomposing itself, jumping into the pot piece by piece; A Chinese cabbage jumped out of a plastic bag into the pool, and was standing under the faucet, shaking its head and rinsing itself; On the other hand, the washed oily wheat cabbage is constantly jumping towards the cutting board, lined up in a neat row, waiting for the corpses to be broken......

The whole kitchen seemed to come to life, full of magic, and everything was busy in an orderly manner, as if the food was going to hold a grand suicidal feast of its own, which made people feel unbelievable and dazzling.

"What's wrong?" Qi Xiao's voice came from inside, and he could hear that he was very busy now.

"As a farmer who has raised tens of thousands of chickens, I have to say that the chicken is the most dead chicken I have ever seen, and it died with too little dignity!" Jacques recalled the plucked white-cut chicken he had just seen, pouted his ass and walked under the knife by himself, and was instantly broken into pieces by countless sharp kitchen knives.

"What about that, burning incense and praying, chanting sutras excessively? Or ask a couple of priests and give it a decent funeral? Qi Xiao asked through the door.

"That's not necessary." Jacques paused, "How did you do that?" I mean...... Control so many things at the same time. ”

"Gas." Qi Xiao replied succinctly.

"What?" Jacques tilted his head and stepped forward.

"To put it simply, it's about manipulating the air, and that's it." Qi Xiao didn't look back, he struck an elbow back, the automatic door opened, and a stream of air rushed out, Jacques resisted the air current, and his body shifted backwards a foot.

"It's a very simple technique, and you can do it if you practice it."

"How do you know I can do it with practice." Jacques asked, confused.

"You've been in China, you've definitely heard of dragon snatchers or crane control skills or something, those things are the basics, although you can't beat me, but these little tricks are not a problem."

"Hehe," Jacques took two steps forward with a smile on his lips and walked to the edge of the kitchen, "How do you know I can't beat you?" ”

"If you're confident that you can beat me, you can do it at any time." Qi Xiao turned his back to Jacques and said confidently.

"Are you sure? Is it possible to do it here, too? Jacques asked through the automatic door.

"Whatever." The gas stove inside was turned on, and Qi Xiao had already started stir-frying.

The embassy driver sitting on the sofa behind him heard the conversation between the two, and was already frightened like sifting chaff at this time, he pursed his lips with difficulty, and whispered to Wang Zhe beside him: "Otherwise, I'll go back first." ”

"No, you don't." Wang Zhe's nerves seemed to be extremely thick, even if it was a duel between the two transcendents, it couldn't arouse his attention and worry, he glanced at the kitchen casually, "They can't fight, they will leave after eating." ”

Jacques hesitated at the door for a moment, then said, "I think we should join forces, that American doesn't like you very much." ”

"So what?" Qi Xiao said while stir-frying, "On the first day I came, I found that the Americans here are very prejudiced against me, but I'm so awesome, what can they do with me?" ”

“…… Are you frying cauliflower? Jacques asked, leaning against the door.

"Hmm."

"In order to eat this meal, I took it." Jacques smiled and turned back to the couch.

Jacques sat for a moment and looked back at Wang Zhe, who was sitting on the sofa and looked at him with a look of incomprehension.

"He uses more than thirty knives to cook at the same time."

"Oh...... And then what? Wang Zhe's face seemed to be unsettling, as if nothing new in the world could not arouse his interest.

"I went to China and I know how many people cook, is this how you Chinese cook?" In many movies, Chinese are almost all kitchen gods, but why haven't I seen them in my life? In addition to Qi Xiao, is there such a person? ”

"I think ......," Wang Zheshi Shi Ran cocked Erlang's legs, "People who are looking for realism in fictional stories must have something wrong with their heads." ”

In just twenty minutes, the kitchen door opened, and plates of dishes flew out of it, "popping" and "popping" on the table of the dining room's snow-white tablecloth.

"Dinner." Qi Xiao unbuttoned his apron, walked out of the kitchen, and shouted with a smile.

"Wow, that's a ...... The most amazing meal I've ever had, how did you do it? Jacques chattered in admiration as soon as he grabbed his chopsticks.

"Select the ingredients, cook well, well, that's all." Qi Xiao replied without any appreciation while eating.

"Is it that amazing?" Zhao Qianyu took a sip of soup and picked a few mouthfuls of dishes, feeling that the taste was indeed mellow, but it was not much different from what some domestic chefs did, and she couldn't understand Jacques's excitement.

"Foreigners like to be polite and ignore him." Qi Xiao held the rice bowl, drank the soup and ate the vegetables vigorously, and said to Zhao Qianyu that there was no happiness at all that kind of family cooks quietly watching others taste the fruits of their labor.

"Hey, I finally ate steamed mutton with xiao long noodles again, and when I first left China, whenever I think of this dish, I feel that I can't live this day......" Jacques picked up a piece of meat and stopped in front of him to look at it as if it were a work of art.

Qi Xiao didn't think much of these chattering praises, he ate two bowls of rice, spread a piece of bread, picked up chopsticks, picked up sweet sauce, green onions, vegetables and pork, rolled himself a Shandong pancake, and ate it slowly.

After seeing off Jacques and the driver, the three of them sat in the living room and stared wide-eyed, and began their first night of independent residence in the United States.

"Secretary, you go wash the dishes." For a long time, Qi Xiao, who was still lying on the sofa, broke the silence.

"Why did I go?" After two days of mixing, Zhao Qianyu also got acquainted with Wang Zhe and Qi Xiao, and began to play tricks.

"You two men are here, are you embarrassed to let me wash the dishes? Or, let's rock-paper-scissors? Zhao Qianyu twisted himself on the sofa and said to the two.

"Do you think rock-paper-scissors can win him? Either we are beautiful and who will go. Wang Zhe said slowly.

…………

"Well, when it arrives, everything is fine, oops, the place to live is good, the big bungalow, the floor-to-ceiling windows, Mom, you don't have to worry."

"Hey, don't talk about it, hehe, I'll go wash the dishes first......" Zhao Qianyu made a phone call with a smile and walked towards the kitchen.

Qi Xiao was bored, but he didn't have time to sleep, so he couldn't help asking: "Speaking of which, the United Nations has branches in various places, why did you bring us to New York?" ”

Wang Zhe shook his head slightly: "I don't know either." ”

"It's not a good thing to bring the five of us together." Qi Xiao lay upside down on the railing of the stairs and said lazily.

"The situation is terrible right now, and I think they must have their reasons for doing this." Wang Zhe thought for a while and said an answer that was equivalent to not saying.

Qi Xiao watched the night outside the window getting darker and darker, and muttered, "I guess we'll see you soon." ”
