Chapter 20: Please Call Me Chef Lu
The braised pork on the dinner table, ruddy with a little bit of crystal clear, green onions dotted on it, regardless of its fragrance for the time being, just looking at it makes people can't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. Looking at the fried vegetables next to the braised pork, it seems to be different from the past, with broken red peppers scattered on it, and the garlic cloves inside are moistened by oil and water, exuding a little luster, not like a dish, more like a painting.
"The soup is ready, you can taste my handiwork." Lu Manman brought the last course of tomato and egg soup to the table, and looked at the food and rice on the table, she was very satisfied.
"It's so good to eat early in the morning, it's too greasy." Gu Heng looked at the appetizing food on the table, and he didn't know how it tasted.
"If you dislike greasy, then you eat this small bowl, and I eat the big one." Lu Manman glared at Gu Heng dissatisfied, it was his blessing to be able to eat the food she cooked, right? She directly exchanged their rice bowls, and the dishes were out of the pot, she felt that she could eat more, but she was afraid that there would not be enough rice to eat.
Gu Heng looked at the small bowl of rice that was replaced in front of him and stopped talking.
Gu Qin's has been looking at the braised pork, in fact, she has never made such meat, but she can achieve such a beautiful color, and the taste is still so fragrant...... She looked at Lu Manman's eyes and unconsciously filled with admiration: "Manman's craftsmanship is so good." ”
"Auntie, you haven't tasted it yet, how do you know that I have good craftsmanship." While Lu Manman was talking, she took the initiative to put a piece of braised pork into Gu Qin's bowl, and then she took a piece and put it in her mouth. Under chewing, the meat is Q-elastic, not greasy, and it is really refreshing to eat: "If you can add a little more chicken essence to enhance the flavor, it should be perfect." ”
"Essence of chicken?"
Gu Heng tasted a bite of braised pork, his eyes suddenly lit up, he could be regarded as having lived for fifty or sixty years in the two lives before and after, and when he was a very human minister, he also ate a lot of palace banquets, but this time the braised pork ...... That's pretty good. He set his eyes on the soup that Lu Manman served at the end, the red fruit, sour when eaten raw, what is the taste of the boiled soup?
Lu Manman was speechless for a while, looked at Gu Heng, and she talked more. Gu Heng is extremely smart, and now she is already suspicious of her, so she still has to keep a low profile. After all, he rarely has a good face for her, and she has come here, so she must adapt to the survival rules here as soon as possible, otherwise she will only suffer in the end: "I'm hungry, I want to eat chicken, hehe......"
"You girl, you haven't finished eating the meat this morning, so you want to eat chicken, although you have made money, but you can't squander it suddenly, the girl's life is still to be carefully calculated." Gu Qin's words and sandwiched a piece of meat for Lu Manman: "Eat it quickly." ”
"Hmm." Lu Manman smiled awkwardly, she didn't pay attention to Gu Qin's preaching, in modern times, she advocated enjoyment, because she firmly believed that she would earn money only if she would spend money. Don't ask her why she firmly believes that practice makes sense, she must have tried it herself.
Gu Heng felt that he was not a person with a heavy appetite, but when he ate the dishes that Lu Manman cooked, he always had a feeling that he couldn't eat enough, and after eating a bowl of rice, he still wanted to eat, but the rice was ...... He remembered that Lu Manman only made three bowls. And because of what he just said, he got the least bowl of rice.
Lu Manman finished drinking the soup in the bowl and looked at the table, when she looked at the table, all the dishes she made had been eaten: "It seems that the dishes I make are still popular." ”
"Manman, I really can't see that your craftsmanship is so good, and my aunt has lived a long time, and she has never eaten such a delicious meal." Gu Qin's mind was still unsatisfied, and he looked at Lu Manman's eyes with more and more satisfaction: "I really look forward to you becoming Brother Heng's daughter-in-law as soon as possible, so that my aunt can often eat the meals you cook." ”
Be Gu Heng's daughter-in-law?
Lu Manman smiled and diverted the topic: "Auntie, didn't you buy some chili pepper seedlings yesterday?" You give them to me, and I will plant them with Gu Heng. ”
"Eh, okay." Gu Qin got up, thought of something, turned to look at Gu Heng, and seeing that Gu Heng was still looking at the desktop, she laughed: "After planting the pepper seedlings, hurry up and read the book, because you ate the poisonous fruit by mistake last time, you have delayed a lot of time." ”
"Well, don't worry."
Lu Manman saw Gu Qin's leaving, she was not idle, she got up to clean up the dishes and chopsticks to wash, naturally she didn't notice Gu Heng's appearance of stroking her stomach when he saw her busy.
Everything is ready to go.
Gu Heng got up and took the lead to walk out, he thought about his family's field, at the moment it was only empty of the small field near the foot of the mountain, because the area was not large, he didn't grow anything in it, now that he thought about it, it was best to use it to grow pepper noodles.
Lu Manman has been following Gu Heng's side, they have been walking for a while, according to her thoughts, Gu Heng's yard is good, find some soil, or loosen the soil directly in the corner of the courtyard, and plant pepper seedlings, after all, there are not many, I bought twenty wen yesterday, and it is only thirty.
"Here we are."
As Lu Man wandered, Gu Heng stopped.
Lu Manman looked around, and at a glance, he saw Xiao Tian not far away. Xiao Tian was like an irregular diamond, not big, but it should be enough to plant pepper seedlings, she nodded, and handed the hoe in her hand to Gu Heng: "Division of labor, you dig the soil, I will weed." ”
Gu Hengzheng was surprised and handed him the hoe, but before he could react, Leng Buding heard her order: "I dig the soil?" ”
Lu Manman nodded as a matter of course, looked at Gu Heng and said, "Let's not say that I am an injured person, just say that I am a weak woman, how can you be a big man who hoes and digs the soil?" "Don't think she doesn't know, digging is hard work.
The corners of Gu Heng's lips twitched, and he didn't pick up the hoe in Lu Manman's hand: "It's you who want to plant pepper seedlings, but it's not me who want to plant them." "The implication is to do your own thing.
Does he mean that she is the only one who digs the soil and weeds and plants it?
He's a big man, and he's embarrassed to say that!
Lu Man was speechless.
"It is said that people are short-handed and soft-mouthed, Gu Heng, you are also a scholar, you don't understand this truth."
"I didn't take anything from you, I ate anything from you." When the words fell, Gu Heng faintly felt that it was not good.
Lu Manman raised his eyebrows, glanced at Gu Heng thoughtfully, and then shook his head and said: "You didn't eat anything from me, you have eaten the most braised pork I made this morning, and the tomato and egg soup I made is also, my aunt and I drank one bowl by ourselves, and you drank three bowls." ”
"......" Gu Heng wanted to refute, but he couldn't find the words for a while, because what Lu Manman said was the truth: "This morning's rice, you and your mother are big bowls." "He didn't eat enough, that's why he drank so much soup.
Lu Man was stunned for a moment, and then thought of the fact that she gave the least amount of rice to Gu Heng in the morning: "You can't blame me for this." ”
“……”
Lu Manman saw that Gu Heng didn't speak, nor did he take the hoe, the original field was not big, it didn't matter if she did it herself, but she hadn't really planted the land, so she ......
Lu Manman looked at Gu Heng deeply, wait, she won't, but she can learn, and when she learns, no one can take Qiao in front of her. But at the moment......
Gu Heng's body moved, looking at his holding hand, and unconsciously ignoring the hoe that was forcibly put into his hand.
"Hurry up, I'll weed, you loosen the ground, you can go back to reading when you're done earlier." She might as well go back to writing "Dream of Red Mansions".
Gu Heng saw that Lu Manman ignored him and walked straight to the field, and the words that he originally refused changed to after he spoke: "A piece of braised pork." ”
