John shook his head and sped up his own dumplings.

In order to take into account his girlfriend's feelings, she wrapped it slowly, but now that she came, the speed of John's hand was like an eight-clawed monster, and he quickly wrapped the dough and filling together into ingot-like dumplings.

The New Year is approaching, eat more ingot-shaped dumplings, which means that everyone's fortune will roll in next year.

This is not a superstitious idea, it is a kind of expectation and yearning for the future, which is common in the East and the West.

After a while,

The doorbell at John's house rang.

"I'm going to open the door. It should be Lily and they've arrived. ”

Peggy shouted at John in the kitchen.

Sure enough, it was Lily and her group, and behind her were Matthew with an after-dinner dessert and Ted with a bottle in his hand.

"Lily, Matthew, Ted. All of you are welcome, sit down and take a break. John he was still in the kitchen preparing. Dinner was quickly prepared. ”

"Peggy, this is a little dessert that Lily and I prepared for us – oatmeal raisin cookies. I don't know if it fits your and John's tastes. ”

Matthew said with a smile on his face.

"Thank you, Matthew, and Lily. It looks delicious. ”

Peggy took the plate from Matthew's hand and smiled.

"And me, although it's not a precious champagne, it's my little heart."

As the hostess, Peggy took the opportunity to entertain her friends.

"Peggy, I envy you so much. I didn't expect John to cook, this kind of good man is rarely seen. ”

Lily said complimentally.

"I didn't expect what John said to be true? It seems that he is hiding quite deeply, and he wants to drool when he looks at it. ”

Looking at the neat and orderly food on the table, the food with all colors and aromas makes people appetize.

Matthew and Ted are looking forward to it.

"Let's go to the kitchen and see if John wants to help. By the way, let's see if you can steal the teacher or something. ”

Matthew and Ted got up together and walked to the kitchen, and they wanted to see what John was like in the kitchen.

In their eyes, John, who is always dressed up, does not look like an elite lawyer or a doctor, but a Wall Street hedge fund trader or something.

Because when John appeared in front of them, he was either in a suit or a fine dress, like a model on the catwalk.

If the two were not friends with John, it is estimated that they would have complained in their hearts that John was a little white face.

Anyway, John doesn't look like a man with a spoon in his hand.

"Peggy, you didn't show John your results when you came back from shopping? He was shocked and surprised! ”

Lily gossiped about Peggy.

“……”

Peggy's face turned red suddenly, and she thought that she had picked out a few close-fitting clothes with the help of Lily. She also talks about some intimate topics between girls.

"I, I haven't taken it out yet, and I feel a little embarrassed.

Besides, not long after I came back, I went shopping with him to New York's Chinatown.

It's not too late. ”

Peggy's face turned red.

"Ah, that's it!

John was so unlucky, knowing that Matthew and I were ...... afternoon."

Lily bragged about her harvest this afternoon.

Sometimes the conversation between girls is larger and more energetic than that between boys.

Looking at Lily, her radiant, ruddy and shiny complexion, you know what's going on.

When Peggy heard Lily's record, she was shocked and opened, you city people just know how to play.

In broad daylight, I walked around the street all morning, and when I got home, I had to "work overtime".

Peggy felt that she felt so tired at the end of the day, and she admired her friend Lily from the bottom of her heart.

The two girls whispered a private conversation in the living room.

Matthew and Ted watched it with relish in the kitchen, and although they knew how to cook, it was just something simple, and it might be out of reach compared to John's dishes.

"What do you think?"

John, who was still busy, found that it was Matthew and Ted who had walked in.

"It's incredible, John. Your cooking skills are better than we thought, where did you learn them? Ted and I might as well learn a one-and-a-half-trick. ”

The two of them can't wait to learn from their teachers on the spot, master a good craft, and they are very popular everywhere.

"Thank you for the compliment, you're exaggerating.

I only learned it in cooking school and some food recipes and TV shows.

You can give it a try. ”

John said with a reserved smile.

Completely forgetting how much effort you put into learning how much you want to cook.

Looking at the light smile on John's face,

That feeling made Matthew and Ted very unhappy,

It's too worrying, it's too Versailles.

Wait for the meeting to be full,

Those who turn grief and anger into appetite must go back with food.

It's not in vain for John's thoughts.

Just then, the soup base of the hot pot was already boiling.

Ted mentioned before that there is a special pot in the hot pot, that is, the mandarin duck pot.

Originally, John wanted to buy a mouthful,

It's a pity that John asked for a long time in Chinatown, but he didn't have to sell.

Because it needs to be customized in advance.

In desperation,

Only ordinary iron pots can be used, in fact, authentic hot pots are made with charcoal, but the conditions are limited.

John brought the boiling hot pot to the table, steaming hot.

Matthew They are also eating hot pot for the first time,

Very curious.

In order to take care of the tastes of friends, choose a lighter soup base and seasoning.

"None of you have eaten it before, so I don't know if it's to your taste.

If you really don't get used to it, there is also a vegetable salad on the table.

Paella and dumplings made by Peggy and I personally. ”

"John, you've been too thoughtful. Don't worry, I've packed my food for today. ”

Matthew patted his chest and replied domineeringly.

"Me too, I deliberately left a lot of space for my stomach.

John, as your good friend, we're definitely on the show. ”

Ted hurriedly stood up and punched the ticket.

John was so moved that he accidentally poured some hot sauce into the hot pot ingredients.

Well, somebody's ass may be in trouble tomorrow.

No

It's going to suffer.

This bottle of hot sauce is what Peggy used to tease John above.

I didn't feel spicy when I first started eating it,

It can be paired with hot pot ingredients, plus the atmosphere on the table,

It is estimated that you will only realize its power after eating it.

It won't be John himself, anyway, he's practiced it specially.

Waste is shameful,

Saving is glorious,

So he inadvertently moved the dish away from his girlfriend Peggy.

John wanted to teach them how to eat hot pot.

Unexpectedly,

Matthew, Ted, and Lily had already read from a food cookbook before they came, how to eat hot pot.

Watching everyone use chopsticks handy, the ingredients are also scalded.

John was relieved as well.

It seems that the culture of my Greater China is spreading quite quickly.

Americans often order takeout in their daily lives.

The improved Chinese food is of high quality and low price, and it is naturally very popular.

So many Americans use chopsticks and are very skilled.

Anyway, everyone is familiar with each other,

No need to say any kind words,

So I went straight to drying,

While everyone was eating hot pot, John, Ted and Matthew were drinking cold beers,

Peggy and Lily were drinking a juice drink.

The scene is very lively,

This scene touched John very much,

It's been a long time since I've been like this, eating hot pot with my friends and drinking beer.

"John, it tastes great. This beef is so tender and delicious. ”

Matthew felt that after these ingredients were scalded in the pot,

After dipping it in the spices, it was so delicious that he swallowed it even on his tongue.

"Even the dumplings are delicious.

The dumplings I ate in Chinatown couldn't compare, they tasted great.

In the future, if I meet my true daughter, I will also wrap a dumpling meal for her. ”

The literary and artistic Ted fell into the fantasy of a better life together for himself and the other half of his life in the future.

"Wow, it's still in the shape of a rose. You'll know it's yours when you look at it, Peggy. ”

Lily used her chopsticks to pull out a rose-shaped dumpling from the steamer and praised it as she ate.

“……”

It's too bad now, what should I say?

Could it be that I have learned cooking skills for several years, but my level is still average.

Hey, forget it.

Peggy was so proud in her heart that she was just about to say "the initiator".

John hurriedly relieved his girlfriend:

"Peggy wasted a lot of effort, she did it on purpose, even I have tasted it.

Come, let's try it together. ”

John gave the steamed dumplings to the people.

Looking at her boyfriend's actions,

Peggy was very moved.
