Chapter 5 Near-perfect cooking

The three words "four dishes" gave Ye Mo a heavy blow to his heart.

He hurriedly denied his previous words questioning Han Xueqing's cooking skills, and tried his best to persuade her in a reasonable and tactful way:

"Alright, alright, I'm sure you're a good cook!"

"It's a waste for the two of us to eat four dishes at a time, anyway, there will be time in the future, and today we will make two at most, and we will average one per person."

Han Xueqing, who was obedient and obedient, suddenly showed a very happy expression, and while she reached out to pick the beans on the bean rack, she asked very happily: "So you promised me to stay?" ”

Ye Mo, who had already decided to accept her mother's conditions, simply nodded to Han Xueqing at this time, so that she could happily agree to pick less vegetables.

Although there are a lot of mung beans on the bean rack, Han Xueqing picking a little by hand will not make him feel as distressed as when he picked tomatoes before.

However, Ye Mo still felt that it was inconvenient to stop it, and did what he thought was remedial as much as possible.

That is to tell Han Xueqing in an "experienced" tone: "When you pick beans, be careful not to pick them in one place all the time, only pick one or two in each place, and scattering the picks will make the remaining beans grow better!" ”

Hearing Ye Mo say this, Han Xueqing suddenly laughed like a silver bell.

Before she showed her cooking skills, she was sure that she would be left behind, which made her feel relieved.

So she obediently did as Ye Mo instructed, and said jokingly: "Brother Ye, what you said reminds me of a joke about picking wool, which says that the shepherd wants to spin wool from wool, but only gets wool from one sheep!" ”

Ye Mo had also heard this joke before, but Han Xueqing didn't continue to say it when he said this, as if he was deliberately "leaving it blank", as if he wanted him to take it.

"These grapes aren't ripe yet!"

After speaking, Ye Mo, who felt that this statement could not stand very well, hurriedly added: "Looking at their current appearance, it should be best to eat them in a few days." ”

What made him feel relieved was that Han Xueqing did not raise any doubts after hearing this, but smiled slightly: "Then listen to you, I will come back to eat in a few days." ”

After saying that, she picked up the beans that had been placed on the concrete low wall again, looked around the other plants in the small vegetable garden, and then turned and walked towards the house.

Ye Mo secretly made up his mind that in the next few days, he must speed up the progress and finish painting all the vegetables and fruits he wanted to paint in the small vegetable garden as soon as possible.

In this way, when Han Xueqing comes to collect materials for cooking again, he doesn't have to feel as frightened as he does now.

The "marshmallow" that followed the two into the vegetable garden before, because Ye Mo had specially cultivated it in this area before, so although it was very happy to walk around the vegetable garden, it was still the same as usual, and did not cause any damage to the vegetables and fruits in the vegetable garden.

There were some "marshmallows" in the vegetable garden that I didn't have enough fun with, and after seeing Han Xueqing returning to the house with beans, I reluctantly glanced at the small vegetable garden, but still gave up the beautiful scenery in front of me, and quickly entered the door and followed behind Han Xueqing.

"It seems that I raised this cat for nothing!"

Ye Mo thought that when he took it to the small vegetable garden to paint before, if it didn't play enough, even if Ye Mo finished painting and wanted to bring it back, it would have to grind for a long time.

"Brother Ye, you don't have any secrets in the refrigerator!"

After Han Xueqing finished cleaning the tomatoes and beans in the sink like a familiar way, before trying to open the refrigerator to find meat and eggs, he jokingly asked Ye Mo such a sentence.

Ye Mo's brain quickly recalled what existed in the refrigerator.

Then he nodded to Han Xueqing: "There is no secret, but there seems to be no pork in it, so the beans may only be fried." ”

In fact, Ye Mo, who has lived alone here for a long time, has never had pork in the refrigerator except when his parents came.

There are eggs because boiled eggs are so easy to make, and his breakfast is generally in the mode of milk, bread and boiled eggs.

In fact, in theory, it is better to fry eggs, but he thinks that it takes a lot of effort to fry only one egg, which is not a very cost-effective thing for him in terms of time cost.

Han Xueqing, who opened the refrigerator and refrigerated the first floor, saw that except for a few cartons of milk and a carton of eggs, all the other places were filled with carbonated drinks of various flavors.

"Drinking too many carbonated drinks is not good for your health." Han Xueqing couldn't help but say such things to Ye Mo, and immediately felt that she had no right to ask Ye Mo to listen to her.

Before Ye Mo could open her mouth to refute, she had already poked out her tongue at Ye Mo apologetically, and then began to pinch off the carob tendons on the cutting board one after another.

"I'll help you do it!" After saying this, Ye Mo immediately realized that he hadn't washed his face and hands since he woke up.

"Wait a minute." This time, Ye Mo didn't have any delay in the bathroom, and after washing up as fast as he could, he went back to the bedroom and quickly changed into a slightly more formal home clothes, and then returned to the kitchen to see an amazing scene!

He saw that Han Xueqing had already pinched all the bean tendons during this time, but when she used the knife to cut the beans into shorter sections, the movement of her hand seemed to be slowed down by 0.5 times the speed.

Sensing that Ye Mo was paying attention to his little hands, Han Xueqing explained to himself with some embarrassment:

"Let Brother Ye make you smile!"

"As a girl, my parents didn't object to me learning to cook, but they had strict rules about how fast I could use a knife."

Ye Mo immediately thought of an entertainment news he had read on the Internet before, which said that a famous pianist had insurance for his hands with an amount of more than 100 million yuan.

Thinking of Han Xueqing's current situation from this incident, Ye Mo suddenly felt that if Han Xueqing accidentally scratched his hand on the first day of cooking for himself, then he, the "master", would be too careless!

So he took the initiative to go over and said, "In that case, I will do the work of cutting things." Anyway, the degree of protection of the opponent who draws is not as exaggerated as that of your musician! ”

However, Han Xueqing leaned to the side and gently blocked Ye Mo's attempt to help.

"Trust me."

"Just slow down."

These two short sentences were spoken softly, but with firmness.

Half an hour later, two steaming and fragrant dishes were served!

Although Han Xueqing is very slow in cutting vegetables, she is very quick in stir-frying.

Ye Mo sat at the dining table and took a bite of tomato scrambled eggs with chopsticks at her suggestion, which was really delicious!

However, Han Xueqing seemed to be very dissatisfied with her "dry fried beans", after all, what she originally wanted to make for Ye Mo was "fried beans and meat." ”

The lack of the aroma of the meat in it affected her craftsmanship a lot.

Another thing that made Han Xueqing feel affected was that Ye Mo's kitchen only had basic kitchen utensils, and there was only one kitchen knife, and there was no plastic gloves that she used to use when stir-frying to protect her from being splashed with oil!

It can be said that the reason why she didn't slow down when stir-frying was that she didn't want to make him wait too long for the first time to cook for Ye Mo, and on the other hand, if she wanted the dish to be delicious, the stir-fry time really shouldn't be too long.

So in Han Xueqing's heart, she did so for Ye Mo to make these two dishes at the risk of being burned by the oil on the back of her hand.

Naturally, after Ye Mo ate the first bite of food, she was looking forward to the other party complimenting her vigorously!

However, for Ye Mo, although this bite of tomato scrambled eggs was delicious, it was still not enough to offset the depression caused by the loss of two large tomatoes in his heart.

"How?" Seeing that Ye Mo didn't show a very happy appearance after taking a bite, Han Xueqing's mood began to become a little apprehensive.
