"Are you going to buy lunch so early?" Yan Xin was stunned for a moment.

After looking at the time, it was only past eight o'clock in the morning, and it was still very early before noon.

"If you go earlier, you can buy better ingredients." Arily explained it to him.

Then he crossed his fingers and calculated with him: "It's eight o'clock now, and when we go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables and come back, it's almost ten o'clock, and then process the ingredients, and then make the meal, it's already noon." ”

Yan Xin couldn't help laughing: "According to what you say, you don't have to do anything a day, just prepare three meals a day, and the time will be gone." ”

Liang Wei was cooking here every day, but it didn't take that long.

Cooking a lunch all morning is a bit too time-consuming.

Elili explained to him: "Simple has simple methods, complex methods have complex methods, and if you want to eat better, of course it takes longer to prepare." If you just fill your stomach casually, you can make it in no time. ”

Yan Xin listened to her tone, as if she was quite good at cooking, and was a little curious: "Your family is so rich, do you want to cook by yourself?" ”

Alily nodded: "Yes, when I was a few years old, my mother taught me to cook, and every time I cooked, I had to watch from the side, ask me to help, and let me sign up for several cooking training classes." ”

"Your mom cooks too?" Yan Xin was even more curious.

"She learned," said Elili, "my grandfather used to be a cook, and she followed it since she was a child, and now she's learning those things, and from time to time she signs up for a cooking class, but the cuisine has become Cantonese." ”

That's all she can say.

There are more reasons that are difficult to say.

She remembers when she was a few years old when her mother asked her to learn to cook, and then she called her father: "Lily always told me that she was going to cook for her father, and now that she is learning to cook, would you like to try your daughter's craft?" ”

When she was a child, she learned to cook, just to brush up on Cai Qixiang's goodwill.

When she grows up, she learns to cook, and there are some other factors - to please the man's stomach.

I don't know where I learned the theory, if you want to capture a man's heart, you must first grasp a man's stomach.

It's not enough to learn on her own, when she was in high school, she would enroll in that kind of cooking training class every summer vacation.

Alily sometimes has that idea - if she spends her summer vacation studying and enrolling in a few study classes, maybe she won't need to study abroad, and she can be admitted to a university in China instead of going to a pheasant university abroad.

Of course, her mother will not approve of her idea, her mother will think that women will return to the family after all, whether they have the ability or not is not so important, and serving a capable man is the most important thing.

It is enough to have a signboard for international students, and in the minds of many people, this signboard is even more dazzling than the signboards of those famous universities in China.

Her mother's thoughts, which brought her a not-so-happy teenage time, also affected her studies.

However, it can't be said that it is completely unbeneficial, at least I know how to cook, so that my taste buds are not so aggrieved.

As Alili said this, Yan Xin was interested and wanted to see what she could cook.

Among the girls he knows, Feng Xi can cook, and Xiao Shiyu can also cook, but they are all the same as Liang Wei, they cook home-cooked food, and they are all slowly practiced by cooking at home, and they have not learned these things specifically, they belong to the wild road.

He was curious to see how he had learned how to cook.

So I accompanied Arili to the vegetable market to buy vegetables.

After going to this trip, he realized that there was so much attention to grocery shopping.

Alili didn't bargain, she just cared more about the choice of ingredients, and she was picky, which made Yan Xin feel that this was much more troublesome than bargaining.

While selecting the ingredients, Arily also explained to him what is the best choice of the same ingredients.

However, Yan Xin didn't understand what she said, and when she heard it in her ears, she quickly forgot it, and she didn't take it to heart at all.

I just understand that there is a lot of attention to in this.

I bought a few hundred yuan of food at one time, and when I went back, it was already past ten o'clock in the morning.

On the way back, Yan Xin couldn't help but say to Alili: "You know how to cook so well, in fact, you can also open a food column on the website, take photos of each process and send them to tell netizens how a dish is completed." ”

"Not many people like this, do they?" Arily said.

"Not necessarily, there are still some people who are interested in food." Yan Xin said.

In his memory, a few years later, food shows became popular all over the world, and there were even chefs who became Internet celebrities by shooting videos to cook, started a company, and embarked on the road of bringing goods.

Arily thought for a moment and said, "I can give it a try later." ”

She could have tried it later, but she didn't want to try it today.

I bought a lot of ingredients, and when I carried them into the kitchen, Yan Xin said with a smile: "Cooking so many dishes at noon, it seems that the five of us can't finish it." ”

Ellilie was stunned for a moment: "Five people? ”

"Isn't it five?" Yan Xin said, "The two of us, plus Sister Ru, Xiao Yin, and Xiao Yuan, aren't there five in total?" ”

Arily looked at him and didn't want to speak.

Yan Xin looked at her for a while and understood: "Are you thinking of calling people from the company over for dinner?" I just said, can the five of us eat so much? It turns out that you still have such plans. ”

Alili said: "We don't have to make all these dishes at noon today, we can cook one meal in the evening." ”

Yan Xin sighed.

Alili said again: "I don't think it's better to call Sister Ru and them over for the time being, you can eat first, see if the food I made meets your appetite, think it's okay, it's not too late to call them over to eat, it's not too embarrassing." ”

Yan Xin finally understood that Alili didn't even think about calling Gu Ru and the others over to eat, she just wanted the two of them to have a meal together.

He didn't say anything.

When it was time to cook, he was on the spot the whole time, helping Arilie.

However, he is not a competent starter, and he can't do a lot of work, so he can only do the simplest kind.

Sometimes Arily would ask him to help with this and that, and then turn around and see that it wasn't what she was doing, so she had to do it herself.

To be exact, Yan Xin is more like a person standing next to her to cheer her on, and she is here to be the atmosphere group.

He was able to give Feng Xi a hand when he was cooking, and help deal with those dishes, which was also slowly sharpened.

But there's no way to do anything about Arily.

It's not the same thing at all.

A lot of the time, he just stood in the kitchen door and watched Arily do it.

Seeing her busy in the kitchen with an apron, I don't know what it tastes like for the time being, but it can be seen from the skilled knife work that she has been trained.

Yan Xin couldn't help but have a thought in his heart: "If anyone marries this girl, it is really blessed." ”

But when I thought that this beautiful and good-tempered girl, who was also proficient in cooking, was married by another man, I had a very unhappy feeling.

- How can such a good girl be allowed to be married to others?

Another thought secretly came to my heart: "If only I could marry a girl like her......"

This idea soon turned into another one: "If only I could marry her......"

Then there was a feeling of my heart beating faster, and I didn't dare to think about it further.

At eleven o'clock, he was standing in the doorway watching Arily work, and then his cell phone rang.

took out the mobile phone in his trouser pocket and saw that it was a call from Gu Ru.

connected, and asked with a smile, "Sister Ru, is there something wrong?" ”

Gu Ru said: "Chen Li and Liang Wei went out for a trip, no one cooks, we are going to eat outside, do you want to come over?" ”

Yan Xin hesitated, looked at Alili who was cooking, and said, "No need...... Let's go eat it. ”

I was almost about to call Gu Ru and the others over.

Gu Ru sighed and asked, "Is Lily there with you?" ”

Yan Xin said: "Yes, it's with me." ”

Although Alili was cooking, her ears were also listening to Yan Xin answering the phone.

I couldn't hear Gu Ru's words, but I could hear Yan Xin's words.

From Yan Xin's words, you can roughly guess what Gu Ru is talking about on the other side, and you can't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Hiding from Gu Ru and them, they secretly cooked for Yan Xin, making her feel like a stealer, a little immoral.

If a few of them were to come, she didn't know what to do.

There is definitely no way to stop it, but the first time I cook for someone I like, but some other people come, it doesn't feel so perfect.

It's okay for everyone to eat together in the evening.

For the first meal, she hoped that there would only be Yan Xin and her.

After Yan Xin finished saying this, he added: "We are discussing some things about the company. ”

Gu Ru sighed: "That's okay, I won't delay your discussion, bye." ”

Hanging up the phone, Gu Ru said to Xiao Yin and Xiao Yuan next to him: "It seems that after Chen Li and Liang Wei go out on a trip, the two of them are going to live in a two-person world, we have to have a little bit of vision during this time, don't disturb the two of them." ”

Both girls agreed.

One is their boss and the other is the alternate boss, don't interfere with them at this time.

I don't understand this point, so how can I come out and mix in society?

After accepting the call, Alili asked Yan Xin what he said, and Yan Xin also told the truth, that is, he invited them to go out to eat together, but he refused.

When she went out to eat and made a phone call, for fear that they would be hungry, Alili could feel Gu Ru's kindness.

Thinking that he was already cooking, but he didn't invite anyone over for dinner, I felt even more guilty in my heart, and I was a little sorry for such an enthusiastic friend.

She knew that Yan Xin responded like that because of the advice she gave not to invite them over for dinner.

It's her fault.

However, to give her a chance to choose again, she would still suggest that Yan Xin not invite them over for dinner.

Fault is fault, anyway, this is the first time she cooks for the person she likes, she hopes that this first time can be more pure, without the participation of others.

After this phone call, finally no one came to bother.

By 12:12 p.m., a few dishes were finally ready.

One by one, they were put on the table, I don't know if they were delicious or not, but they smelled very fragrant and looked quite appetizing.

After loading the meal, Arily asked again, "Would you like to have some wine?" ”

"Do you like to drink?" Yan Xin had some curiosity.

Alili hurriedly denied: "I don't like to drink, and I don't drink either, I just think it's more ritual for two people to eat and drink a little wine." ”

Yan Xin laughed: "Do you still want to drink red wine?" ”

Arily nodded: "Well, red wine is more ceremonial." ”

Yan Xinke doesn't like to drink at all, red beer and white don't like to drink.

If you want to say that you like it a little, it is the sweet sake of my hometown, the kind made with glutinous rice, which basically does not feel the smell of alcohol, and it should be said that it is a drink.

Then there is pineapple beer, in his last life, he liked to drink Guang's pineapple beer, the price was very cheap when it first came on the market, and it was sold for eight cents a can in Tianyou City.

But that's not wine.

There was some beer in the fridge, and sometimes someone would drink a little.

There is no red or white one.

For the sake of the sense of ritual that Ellilie said, he still stood up:

"In that case, I'll go down and buy a bottle of bar. What brand do you think is good? ”

This was the first time Arily had cooked for him, and he had been busy for a long time, and he felt the need to fulfill her wish if he wanted to have a sense of ritual.

Alili said to her lips and changed her words: "I don't drink much, and I don't know what brand of red wine is good, you can just buy a bottle." ”

"Okay, you wait, I'll be back right away."

Yan Xin said, picked up the key and wallet and went out.

There is a supermarket in the community, and there is red wine in the supermarket, so you don't have to go too far.

When I got to the supermarket, I went straight to the side that sold red wine.

He didn't know what kind of red wine was better, so he had to use a stupid way, and that was to buy the most expensive one.

There are not many extravagant things in this supermarket, the most expensive red wine is two or three hundred yuan a bottle, Yan Xin can't understand any of the text on it, so he bought a bottle and went upstairs.

It's just ten minutes before and after.

Then I regretted that there was no glass for drinking red wine.

But it's not much of a problem, there is a big bag of disposable cups on the top of the refrigerator, just find two.

It's just that in this way, the sense of ritual is a little worse.

Fortunately, I bought this bottle of red wine and got a corkscrew, otherwise I couldn't open the corkage.

Watching Ellili skillfully open the red wine with the corkscrew, Yan Xin felt that she should have drunk some red wine.

Arily also saw the difference in his eyes, and explained:

"I don't like to drink, my mother likes to drink red wine, she said to drink this regimen, every time I eat with her, I come to open a bottle for her, so I am better at doing this."

Yan Xin sighed, and didn't suspect anything.

In fact, Yan Xin is not used to eating Cantonese food, and always feels that the taste is too light.

The food in his hometown is heavier, and compared to Cantonese food, it is spicy and salty.

Cultivated in such an environment, it is very uncomfortable to eat such a light dish.

However, several of the dishes made by Arily were quite to his liking.

It's light, but it's not so light that it's unbearable.

I don't know if these dishes should taste like this, or if Alili has made some adjustments to accommodate his taste.

All in all, he had a good time.

I feel that it is much stronger than Liang Wei's craftsmanship.

is better than the girls he knows who can cook, whether it is Feng Xi or Xiao Shiyu, in terms of cooking skills, they can't compare with her.

While eating, I also drank.

He didn't like the taste of red wine, but it didn't mean that he couldn't drink it at all, at least in his cognition, it was much better than Huoxiang Zhengqi Water.

After drinking a little wine, people are a little dizzy.

After drinking red wine, Alili's face was peachy, and she became more and more beautiful.

couldn't help but sigh: "Sister Lili, you are so beautiful and capable, if anyone marries you, it is really a great blessing." ”

Alili pursed her lips and smiled: "I'm not capable, I relied on my mother to help me find a job in the previous job." The latter job is not my ability, you helped me. ”

"You're already very capable," Yan Xin said seriously, "Not to mention anything else, with your cooking skills, it's enough to come out and open a restaurant." If you can make this taste, then the restaurant business is absolutely good! ”

Here he compares the small restaurants he often eats, including the restaurants that cost five yuan a meal.

It's not the fancy restaurants.

He rarely goes to high-end restaurants to consume, and he doesn't eat more than ten times in total, and he eats more at roadside shops, restaurants facing low-level workers.

Compared to this, the food cooked by Arily is indeed tastier.

Allyly's heart moved, and she felt that this seemed to be a way.

In fact, she is still a little sensitive, and she is very skeptical about whether she has the ability to live independently.

After all, the last job was found for her by her mother, and this job was given to her by Yan Xin, which has nothing to do with her own ability.

She also worked as the general manager of Starlight Entertainment for a few days, and she didn't realize that the company had much difference between her and her.

This led her into more serious self-doubt - am I just a piece of shit? Is it that without the help of others, I will not be able to live independently?

In fact, she really wants to prove herself.

- This is also a problem only the children of rich families, who care about those virtual things.

The children of the really poor don't care about those things, as long as they can improve their lives, they are successful.

If your cooking skills are really enough to support you to open a restaurant and have a good business, then you can be regarded as having the ability to survive independently.

He smiled and asked, "If I open a restaurant, will you come to consume?" ”

"That's a must," Yan Xin said, "Sister Lili, you are such a good cook, if you open a restaurant, then I will solve three meals a day with you." ”

Arily glanced at him: "I don't open a restaurant, I can cook for you every day." ”
