At the beginning of July, it was still very hot at four o'clock. Li Yun and I followed her list to purchase some groceries and kitchen supplies, and both of us had a wide range of groceries in our pockets, including slightly larger items strapped to the back of our bicycles. Finally, it was five o'clock and I bought everything. Li Yun took me to the farmers' market to buy groceries.

At the farmer's market, we met Xiaojing and her sister, who were selling fragrant pears. Li Yun said that after closing the stall in the evening, she invited the two sisters to her room for dinner, and the two sisters readily agreed. Xiaojing is petite, while her sister is taller and stronger, and her skin is darker.

The note Li Yun brought with her not only wrote a list of daily necessities to buy this time, but also included the main dish ingredients and seasonings that she needed to purchase for the first time as a chef, I believe that she found a family recipe in the bookstore and then copied it from the book, because the paper even said that flat fish was about 0.8 kilograms.

Of course, it was impossible to buy such an accurate weight of fish, and finally bought two flat fish that were just one pound together. I asked Li Yun what she planned to do with the two flat fish, and Li Yun said that according to the book, the flat fish had to be drenched with salt first, and then fried or braised with green onion and ginger.

I said that according to my records, if it is braised flat fish, you should not put too much water, you should boil it dry, and sprinkle some lemon juice on the fish as soon as it is cooked, which can remove the smell and add a slight acidity, so it is the most delicious. Li Yun was dumbfounded and said How can you understand this. I almost shouted out, my wife Chen Yan is burned like this, it can be called a delicacy in the world. But I can't say this to Li Yun, saying that she will treat me as a neuropath, and a neurotic from an alien planet.

I have to say that I saw it in a certain magazine. Li Yun frowned and said, where to find lemons.

Indeed, in 1992 Chinese hardly ate lemons. So you can't find half a lemon at a fruit stand, just as you can't find salmon or steak in a vegetable market at the time. When I think of salmon and steak, I think of Chen Yanlai in later generations, and her black pepper steak is also one of her specialties.

However, Li Yun quickly thought of a trick in her mind, she said that there is a food store not far from here, maybe there will be lemon juice for sale, why don't we buy a bottle of drink?

I was speechless and choked, in the context of this era, lemon flat fish became lemon drink roasted flat fish.

Finally, the first meal of our cohabitation and the menu of drinks and main courses are as follows:

Three bottles of beer (three women and one man, from common sense you can't drink three bottles),

Two bottles of Coca-Cola (but try not to drink it),

Lemon juice drink roasted flat fish,

small ribs of roasted radish,

Scrambled eggs with green onions,

stir-fried greens,

home-cooked tofu,

Mustard and tomato soup.

It is exactly five dishes and one soup for four people, and there is also a pound of fried peanuts, which can be used to accompany wine at that time.

On the way back, I asked Li Yun, "Do you know how to cook?"

Li Yunbai glanced at me and said, "Why don't you believe it, of course I will cook, and I will give you a taste of the skills of the number one beautiful female chef in the universe later." ”

About this "No. 1 beauty in the universe", it was originally what I said to Li Yun when I joked last year, but I didn't expect Li Yun to remember it really well, and now she has moved out to learn and use it, perhaps, women will always remember words of praise.

I asked, "What's your best dish?"

Li Yun replied: "Scrambled eggs with leeks." ”

"What else?"

"Well, scrambled eggs with greens."

"And what?"

"Tomato scrambled eggs."

"How many eggs do you have?" I asked with a smile.

"What are you laughing at," Li Yun was annoyed, "I don't blame me, it's because my mother spoils me too much, and she never lets me cook when I'm at home." Let me tell you, my mother is the best at grilling fish, I have seen her make braised flat fish several times, and I still have the impression that it would be good to do it like that. ”

Speaking of this, Li Yun's eyes suddenly turned red, and she muttered while riding the bike: "I really want to eat my mother's hair cake again." ”

I knew that when it came to Li Yun's mother, she would be sad, so I quickly said, "By the way, Li Yun, when did you start liking me?" Could it be that when you sent Longyou Fa Cake to me to eat, you already liked me. ”

Li Yun held back her tears and scolded with a smile: "You want to be beautiful, who said I like you." ”

I was amazed and said, "You said you loved me a few hours ago?"

Li Yun shook her head and said, "You are talking nonsense, how can I say it, I don't like you." She yelled as she sped up to the front, and I saw her shy cheeks flashing beside me.

When we returned with a full load, we saw an extra red motorcycle in the yard. Li Yun said that it meant that the landlord had returned, it was a middle-aged couple, and the motorcycle was theirs.

As he was talking, the hostess appeared, a plump and white half-aged, dressed quite fashionably, smiling, very affinity, and really didn't look like a woman from a peasant family in the suburbs.

When Li Yun saw her, she called Sister Lou, and this Sister Lou said to Li Yun with a smile: "Xiao Yun, you are here, so today is it considered to be an official move?"

Li Yun nodded yes.

Sister Lou looked at me carefully again, and still asked Li Yun with a smile: "Is this your boyfriend?"

Li Yun nodded again and hummed shyly. Sister Lou praised: "What a handsome boy, Xiao Yun, you have to be careful, take care of your boyfriend, be careful of being snatched away." ”

Although I am often complacent, it seems a bit too polite to say that I am "so handsome", so I simply said: "Sister Lou is good, I will ask you to take care of me more in the future." ”

Sister Lou nodded again and again, but her eyes were still glancing at me and Li Yun, and when we went upstairs, we heard her praise "What a talented woman", and then there was a burst of emotional tsk.

The night of July did not get dark until seven o'clock. It took us more than an hour to get the table together. Li Yun relied on her good memory and bold imagination to cook a few dishes well, and her mentality was also very relaxed when she cooked the dishes, humming Lin Yilian's song while learning from the chef and turning the pot. I asked her how she could cook and be so happy, and she replied because it was the first time I had cooked for you. She couldn't help but laugh after she finished speaking, she had never seen her happy like this.

We bought an old Chengfeng fan from a nearby electrical repair shop, and after Li Yun wiped it clean with a rag, the fan looked quite stylish. Well, this is the largest household appliance in this room. Another appliance is an electric wok, which depends on it for stir-frying, and there is only one rice cooker missing, but tonight we don't need to cook rice, we will burn noodles to eat.

When we had put all the dishes on the table and put away the beer and drinks, Li Yun went downstairs to call the Xiaojing sisters, while I moved a stool and sat in front of the window, staring blankly at the fields and ponds in the sunset outside the window.

The last golden afterglow was reflected on the pear trees in the distance, and the light was faintly spread on the small pond, and the surrounding wasteland and small jungle seemed unusually peaceful and peaceful, and under the background of the sun, it was as quiet as a dream. The evening wind was very strong, and it felt cool to blow through the window lattice and blow through my hair.

This beautiful idyllic artistic conception made me almost forget the time in the future, forget the dazed and melancholy I walked through to this moment, and also made me suddenly feel that there was no mobile phone and Internet at all, and it was also an absolute peace of happiness.
