Chapter 7: The Straight Man's Hextech Kitchen
People have a foothold in society, always have a skill, a little talent, for example, singing well, dancing well, can play a guitar and drums, break a boulder in the chest, etc., or can tell some strange things, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, it is really not a poor mouth, and it is not too much to cook two specialty dishes
What? Won't either? Then work hard to earn money, friend, anyway, money can settle 99% of the world's things, and the remaining 1% needs more money
--------------------------------------
"Bang! Syllable! Syllable! ”
There was another hurried knock at the door
It has been four or five days since the last KTV flirting incident, during which several people had a small meeting and had a heated discussion on the analysis of the content of An Qing's circle of friends and the preparation for the next strategic deployment
However, the guests were in place, and after the fruit plate and snacks were all together, everyone found that a big horizontal line could be seen in the circle of friends for three days, and they were dumbfounded
So the strategic meeting turned into a team building party, and I could only wait for Zhang Xiaochao to chat first, and then open the road when encountering mountains, build bridges when encountering water, and see the moves
"I don't even have to guess, it's you, the man with two arms."
After opening the door, You Dacheng didn't raise his head and turned around and walked back into the house
"How do you know it's me? Hey, Yanyu, you're here too."
"Have you eaten Xiaochao, it just so happened that Dacheng cooked, let's eat some together" Yan Yu also got up and came over to take a look when he heard that someone was coming, and when he saw that it was Zhang Xiaochao, he greeted him warmly
"Okay, it just so happens that I didn't eat, come, Dacheng, you can sit too, you're welcome" Zhang Xiaochao's ass was also sinking, and he skillfully entered the kitchen, opened the basket, took the attached dishes and chopsticks, and sat down at the dining table
"I'm polite, how can you come empty-handed with a meal," You Dacheng asked
"I'm here to inform you, it just so happens that Yan Yu is also there, I'll call Brother Zhao later, come to my house in the evening, I'll treat you and have a big meal!" Zhang Xiaochao said while showing off his meal
"You iron rooster plucked your feathers? No, there is a situation, don't say it yet, I guess" You Dacheng looked vigilant
"Damn, no, it's only been a few days, you won't ask An Qing out, you kid can."
You Dacheng sighed at his guess
"I really let you guess, but now there is a situation that is more urgent, that is, I just wanted to make an appointment to try, I didn't expect her to agree, and asked her which restaurant she wanted to go to to eat and she said that she had enough to eat outside, and I was in a hurry, I would"
"You're bragging to people about your national treasure chef? Going to cook for someone to make it, isn't it?"
You Dacheng asked tentatively
"You still know me, Dacheng" Zhang Xiaochao cast an admiring look, and by the way, pinched a grape and stuffed it into his mouth
You Dacheng, who raised the water cup in his hand to his mouth and took a sip, put down the cup and asked
"Then I know you too well, except for the mutton soup, there is really nothing wrong with other dishes, which is a standard for eating"
"So you're coming to me for help?"
"Say, what do you want, do I do it for you and you take it back to your house or I will withdraw when I go to your house and finish it, I won't be there as a light bulb, don't toss Brother Zhao, he said something today"
After You Dacheng finished speaking, Yan Yu had already finished eating, eating fruit at the table and watching the two discuss countermeasures
"Don't mind, big brother, you don't know that I'm a person, it's okay to be familiar, if it's just the two of us, this meal will be embarrassing to death, and besides, I told Ren Qingqing, you are all willing to come tonight when she is here, if you want to be alone, do you think that people may come to the house on their first date?"
Zhang Xiaochao said
"Why can't I, I kissed Yan Yu on my first date?"
You Dacheng looked at Yan Yu with a stinky face
"You're going to die!"
Yan Yu smashed an orange petal over, smashing it on the side of You Dacheng's nose, and it slid into his mouth
You Dacheng squeezed his eyebrows and smiled even more cheaply
"Can the happiness of the two of you be quieter, I am alone when I am alone"
Zhang Xiaochao said with a big face
"Okay, I'll help with this, you ask her if she has any taboos, if not, you can make a soup, I'll cook it, just the four of us, the three meat and two vegetables with two cold dishes are enough."
You Dacheng patted his chest and responded to this work
"Let's go, let's buy ingredients, it's noon," You Dacheng said
"Okay, the bonus market?" Zhang Xiaochao asked
"What kind of dividends, it's all broken fish and shrimp, Jiutian, buy Aolong"
"You're buying my life!" Zhang Xiaochao smashed his teeth
"Don't buy it, it's time to take a nap, Yanyu, feed the dog, let's squint for a while, right?" You Dacheng stretched his waist to walk to the bedroom
"Buy! , buy, buy, buy! Don't talk about Aolong, you can say that I will buy the emperor crab today! Zhang Xiaochao hurriedly agreed
"Count you kid acquaintance, after so many years, it's time to kill you, let's go!"
With that, the two turned around and drove out to the market
"That's right, Yanyu, you have nothing to do in the afternoon to go to Xiaochao's house to clean up for him first, his house key is under the footpad"
You Dacheng instructed before going out
"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Zhang Xiaochao said with a smile
"No thanks, your sister-in-law loves to eat Eastern Star Spots, just one at night," You Dacheng replied
"Okay! That must! Zhang Xiaochao's promise is called a happy one
"One thousand and fifty-one" You Dacheng said calmly while changing his shoes
Zhang Xiaochao was stunned
"Okay, you two go quickly, don't tease him, Xiaochao don't pay attention to him, leave it to me at home, don't worry" Yan Yu smiled and drove the two out of the door
-----------------------
After an afternoon of purchasing, the two returned to Zhang Xiaochao's house
Looking at the neat and clean house, Zhang Xiaochao suddenly felt that spending so much money in an afternoon suddenly didn't hurt so much
You Dacheng was nervously busy in the kitchen, Yan Yu leaned on the door frame at the kitchen door and watched You Dacheng cook, and Zhang Xiaochao's phone rang
As soon as he saw that the electricity was An Qing, he directly ejected from the sofa and answered the phone
"Hey, I'm at the gate of the community, how do you get to your house" An Qing asked on the phone
"You wait for me, you wait for me, I'll go out to pick you up right away" Zhang Xiaochao rushed out while holding his mobile phone
"Chao, you will stop by my house in a while, and I will ask Yanyu to go back and get you two bottles of good wine" You Dacheng hurriedly shouted
"Okay," Zhang Xiaochao ran away with a smoke, and disappeared
"Yanyu, you go home and get two bottles of red, take the Australian one, it says the original bottle is imported and that, and then take a small beer called burp beaver from the refrigerator"
"Okay, you cook, I'm leaving" Yan Yu went into the kitchen and kissed You Dacheng, and went home obediently to wait for Zhang Xiaochao
Here, Zhang Xiaochao had already received An Qing, panting heavily
"Why are you running so fast, I can't lose it"
An Qing looked at Zhang Xiaochao's red face and felt a little funny
"Harm, I'm not afraid that you will be in a hurry, please~" Zhang Xiaochao spoke in a long tone and made a gesture of invitation from a British gentleman
"Virtue! Lead the way! An Qing gave him a blank look
"Gotta ~!"
The two of them walked all the way, Zhang Xiaochao couldn't help but peek twice, An Qing's style was different from last time, the white one-shoulder shirt with a white half-length gauze skirt looked much gentle, but the short hair was still as cool as ever, although only the calves could be seen, and it could be clearly felt that it was still so slender and straight
It's so white! Zhang Xiaochao's heart was a little YY
The two of them walked to the door, rang the doorbell and opened the door, followed by a big golden retriever wagging his tail behind him
"Hello"
"Hello, you are An Qing, I often hear Xiaochao mention you, you two sit first, wait a minute, I'll find the wine that Dacheng said, let's leave in a while" As he spoke, Yan Yu welcomed the two into the door
"This isn't your home?" An Qing asked
"No, which building I live in next door, it's not good to hear that the person invited tonight is you, and I specially said that I want to take two bottles of good wine," Zhang Xiaochao replied
"What was that? Is he a girlfriend? Are the two married? An Qing asked again
"Yes, but not married," Zhang Xiaochao replied
"What about cohabitation?"
"No, I just come here occasionally, and they can't live together," Zhang Xiaochao said
"Why? How can you talk halfway, it's the same as squeezing toothpaste, ask you a little, you say a little" An Qing's tone was a little anxious
"I've found it, okay, let's go?" At this time, Yanyu's voice came from another room
"Good, good!" Zhang Xiaochao replied
"I'll tell you why when I get back," Zhang Xiaochao whispered to An Qing when he got up
The three of them returned to Zhang Xiaochao's house in a blink of an eye
"Hey, it's just the right time for you to come back, I'll have one more dish and I'll leave the rest to you."
You Dacheng tied a big apron and said to the three of them while opening the door
"Your house is quite clean, is it cleaned up? Hey, why do you still read these books, it's so old."
"You even have a cartoon pillow for a baby by the sea! Why do you still have a mobile phone holder, don't you usually do live broadcasts? What style? .......”
Zhang Xiaochao's home is not big, pushing open the door is a small dining room, followed by a north-facing living room, the living room is not big, a four-seat sofa plus a chaise longue, and the pillow that comes with the sofa is out of the event because of work reasons
The wine cabinet next to the restaurant is because Zhang Xiaochao only drinks beer every day, so there is no wine in the collection, and it is full of books, but they are all works of the older generation of writers such as Lu Xun, Bingxin, and Xu Zhimo
An Qing, who entered Zhang Xiaochao's house, seemed to be a curious baby, looking around here and there, and finally Zhang Xiaochao pulled him to sit at the table
At this moment, there were only two people at the table, Zhang Xiaochao and An Qing, and the atmosphere was slightly awkward
Looking at the salt-baked Australian dragon prawn balls on the table, steamed pike crab, spicy fried large intestine, stir-fried yam, and eastern star grouper salmon sashimi, of course, the daily wine is indispensable, the cabbage shredded with jellyfish skin, and the six kinds of old vinegar follow the cucumber
"Enough to eat, don't let the uncle be busy," An Qing tapped the table three times and hurriedly said to Zhang Xiaochao
"You don't care about him, I just took a look, and the last dish is alive," Zhang Xiaochao said nonchalantly
"It's your first time to be a guest, I must arrange it for you, you can sit with peace of mind," Zhang Xiaochao looked at An Qing in the second half of the sentence and said very seriously
An Qing looked at him and didn't know if he was embarrassed and shy, or let him look at the diaphragm, and said, "This is rich enough, it's really not too troublesome" and turned his head to continue to look at the display in the room
"Hey, you let the uncle and his girlfriend come over to sit too, how embarrassing it is for the two of us" An Qing said suddenly
"What's embarrassing, it's not embarrassing, Yan Yu is like this, I love to watch Dacheng cook, as long as Dacheng cooks, she leans on the door frame to watch, and if it's okay, go over and tease Dacheng, if you want me, I'll make a mistake early, don't say it, I'm quite happy to see Dacheng"
Zhang Xiaochao said with a face full of incomprehension
"Molestation? How to tease" An Qing seems to be a curious baby
"I haven't seen it before, so it's okay to go over and hug Dacheng from behind, kiss her, or steal a bite of chopped tomatoes, cucumbers and other dishes, it's all a few years ago, I can't remember it clearly?"
Zhang Xiaochao replied
"That's quite crooked, what is it called a few years ago," An Qing asked
"Harm, didn't they just get back together, just the day we met at KTV, we broke up for several years, didn't you just ask me why they couldn't live together?"
"yes, why?"
"Because Yan Yu was going to get married before, Dacheng was equivalent to snatching it from someone else's hands, so Yan Yu's parents have always had opinions about Dacheng, they used to be in love for two years, Yan Yu's parents didn't want to see Dacheng, and they didn't even let Yan Yu spend the night outside, let alone live together"
Zhang Xiaochao's mouth was like the big horn at the entrance of the village, and he couldn't stop talking, "Then haven't they just reunited for less than a week" An Qing asked curiously
"Can't you stop your mouth with so many delicious foods, children, it's not a good habit to inquire about other people's privacy"
Zhang Xiaochao didn't answer yet, and You Dacheng, who came out of the kitchen with a sweet potato, gave An Qing a brain meltdown
"It hurts, sister, you take care of him!" An Qing covered her head and said aggrievedly to Yan Yu behind You Dacheng
"I'll help you punish him for drinking in a while," Yan Yu said to An Qing with a smile
It stands to reason that You Dacheng and An Qing are not familiar with each other, at best, they only know each other, and they don't have the friendship of brainstorming, but he really doesn't want to hear this topic, he never explains this matter, and his friends think that he takes the initiative to dig other people's corners, so he takes the initiative to dig it, he doesn't care, but Yan Yu's parents misunderstand him, and always think that he is a scumbag who destroys other people's feelings and even marriages, but he has always been obsessed, so he couldn't help but knock An Qing on the head just now
"Sit down and eat! What do you drink, red wine or beer? Or a drink? Zhang Xiaochao asked patiently
"I'll have a drink, what does my sister drink?" An Qing asked Yan Yu
"What kind of drink to drink, Yanyu drink some beer, this milk peanut butter flavor, especially delicious, I specially prepared it for you, you can also try it, little girl"
"Super, let's drink some dry red, from the New World, it's very good"
You Dacheng finished arranging things in two sentences, and gave Zhang Xiaochao a look that you understand
But Zhang Xiaochao pondered for a long time and really didn't understand
"Okay" An Qing also agreed, and took the beer handed over by Yan Yu
"You taste this Yanyu, you love to eat this, you taste this again, this mouth is light, specially made for you" You Dacheng sent a chopstick to Yanyu to his mouth
"You also try this Qingqing, this Aolong is expensive, you try this again, do you know what kind of fish this is, East Star Grouper, from the Philippines, this thing is one of the four king fish in Hong Kong, you know the four kings, according to the ...... of these four kings"
Zhang Xiaochao also did the same thing to give An Qing a dish, but he didn't dare to send it to his mouth like You Dacheng, after all, the relationship was not in place, and after a while, An Qing's bowl would be stacked like Xiaoshan
Then he talked eloquently, and in the afternoon, he grabbed the knowledge retrieved from Baidu, plus his own understanding and fabrication, and talked endlessly
"Big brother, you seem to have been deceived, and the fish seller told you that it was the eastern star grouper of the Philippines?" An Qing really couldn't resist Zhang Xiaochao's words, so she put down her chopsticks and looked at him and asked
"Yes, serious Filipino, let me tell you, this fish was red when I bought it, but after the skin was removed, it ......was snow-white and snow-white."
Just now he pushed the cup and changed two glasses of red wine to his stomach, coupled with the beauty of his sweetheart on the side, Zhang Xiaochao felt that he was full of spirits
"You go back to him tomorrow, let him refund half of your money, as soon as I eat this fish, I will eat it This is from Dongsha, my family works in a hotel, I have eaten this fish since I was a child, I am very sure that you have been deceived big brother!" An Qing was very serious, looking at Zhang Xiaochao as if no one was around
"Damn, I'll just say it's not so fresh to eat, are you also eating the wrong Yanyu, let's go back to him tomorrow, Xiaochao"
Seeing that Zhang Xiaochao was a little embarrassed, You Da set up a horse to break the siege
"The rice is almost finished, isn't it time to serve the soup, it's time for you to show your hand"
"Let me tell you, my hometown and Xiaochao are Laizhou, in addition to seafood, stone, gold, these specialties in Laizhou, the most famous is the sheep soup, which is definitely different from Yantai, Chao has learned the essence of Laizhou sheep soup, you can take it to taste it for a while!"
You Dacheng took Zhang Xiaochao away, which can be regarded as a relief from the siege, and it can be regarded as giving him a chance to perform
At this time, there were only three people left on the table, and You Dacheng decided to find some topics to open up the situation
"Little girl, why do you call him eldest brother and me uncle, we are the same age, because I look anxious" You Dacheng asked playfully
An Qing looked at Yan Yu and didn't answer You Dacheng's question, and asked rhetorically
"Then you will call me a little girl, and you will call me a little girl, do you know how old I am?"
"Anyway, you must not be as big as me, you don't suffer if you call you a little girl, remember to call me brother in the future, don't call me uncle, call me old" You Dacheng replied
"I don't care, just call me uncle!" An Qing grinned and shook her head lightly and made a grimace with You Dacheng, making Yanyu laugh at the smoke on the side
"Call Uncle again, I'll knock you on the head!" You Dacheng threatened
"Sister~ He bullied me! You take care of him! An Qing dragged Yanyu's arm and shook it
"Don't tease her, don't worry Qingqing, with me, he won't dare to bully you" Yan Yu patted An Qing's hand and said to her
"Then I'll give you a drink, sister"
The three of them just talked and joked and drank a lot of wine, during which An Qing and a curious cat guarded Yan Yu and asked, like a girlfriend who hadn't seen each other for many years
Until Zhang Xiaochao came out of the kitchen with a large pot of mutton soup
"Come and try it, authentic Laizhou sheep soup!"
As soon as the mutton soup is on the table, it is really fragrant, the snow-white soup is colored, and you can see the full amount of ingredients under the basin when you stir it slightly
"This Laizhou mutton soup, the authentic ones are all haggis soup, and the mutton soup is because the big guys are living well now, and there are many crooked hair lesions, and some people don't eat liver, lungs, and internal organs."
"And Laizhou mutton soup is basically for you to adjust the taste, rarely add your own vinegar, too much vinegar you can't drink the aroma of the mutton soup itself, of course, pepper must be a lot of addition"
"Delicious! It's delicious! An Qing gave Zhang Xiaochao a thumbs up and gave a very positive look
Zhang Xiaochao's tail was about to rise to the sky at this time
"Not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning!" Zhang Xiaochao is pretending to be modest, but in fact, he owes it
"How to make this soup, is there any secret, I'll ask the chef in the store to make it for me when I go back."
"Why do you still use the chef in the store, and you want to drink with me, anytime!" Zhang Xiaochao's eyes immediately widened, and his chest slapped Bangbang
"So how do you do it, it's so delicious," An Qing finished another bowl and then filled another bowl
"You drink slowly, don't choke, no one will rob you," You Dacheng felt a little funny when he saw An Qing's eating appearance, and told her
"Harm, in fact, it's nothing, it's just to inject a little love into the cooking of the people you like," Zhang Xiaochao said
"Be serious!" An Qing obviously didn't believe it
"It's really nothing, just a layer of window paper, you see, this soup is not white, the authentic soup is boiled with beef bones, and the pressure cooker can be so snow-white after a night's pressing"
"Lamb soup made from beef bones?" An Qing was stunned
"yes, I didn't expect that."
"Then where did this mutton smell so good?" An Qing didn't understand
"You also said that the mutton taste, take the mutton and look back, the secret is the sheep intestines, the sheep heart, the liver and the tripe are all routine operations, focusing on the sheep intestines! The more you put it, the more fragrant it is! ”
"Oh, I see" An Qing seemed to understand
"That's hard work, the pressure cooker has been boiling soup for an afternoon, hard brother!" An Qingpi took a moment and hugged the knights
"Actually, it's not troublesome, when I went out in the afternoon, I was in a hurry, and I forgot to cook" Zhang Xiaochao touched the back of his head and was a little embarrassed
"Huh? What else is the quick fix? An Qing was stunned again
"Yes, go to technology! I boasted a spoonful of Sanhua evaporated milk..."Zhang Xiaochao, who realized that he had said the wrong thing, hurriedly covered his mouth
You Dacheng, who was drinking the fragrant wine on the side, didn't cover his mouth, and a mouthful of mutton soup spewed out
Then he trembled and held the bowl in his hand, pointed to the mutton and haggis at the bottom of the bowl and asked
"And this meat is so tender? Won't it be? ”
"Well, I have a total of three flowers evaporated milk, and I boast of another spoonful of tender meat powder"
Zhang Xiaochao snorted in a voice smaller than a fly
I listened to the sound of the chopsticks and the jaw dropping to the ground. . .
