Chapter 7: On the Nation, Singing Throughout the World (1)

Meng Xiaodong laughed out loud before he felt bad, and hurriedly apologized to Lu Xihua, "Mr. Lu, I'm sorry, it's really your clothes that are too strange." Meng Xiaodong thought that Lu Xihua was a polite university scholar, and in her opinion, those who could have a relationship with her brother Zhou were learned people, but she didn't expect Lu Xihua to be a bald young man and wear a strange dress.

Zhou Hexuan didn't expect Lu Xihua to look like this today, the way Lu Xihua was wearing coarse cloth clothes and taking his sister to practice cycling that day was really incompatible with Lu Xihua, who was dressed as a European-style chef today. Zhou Hexuan immediately diverted this embarrassing topic, "I haven't congratulated Brother Lu on opening such a unique restaurant, and I took the liberty to come to visit today, which is really forgiveness and forgiveness." ”

Zhou Hexuan called Lu Xihua Brother Lu, this is showing kindness, it depends on whether Lu Xihua accepts the offer. Of course, Lu Xihua was willing to have a good relationship with this colleague who was thriving at the moment, and immediately smiled, "Where, Brother Hexuan is polite, just call me Xihua." It's because I don't know Brother Hexuan's address, otherwise I'd send you an invitation to open the business. Brother Hexuan, who is this next to you?"

Meng Xiaodong lowered his head embarrassedly when he heard this, Zhou Hexuan was thick-skinned and coughed twice, "Xihua, this is my confidante, Meng Xiaodong, everyone in Peking Opera." ”

Meng Xiaodong is a woman in the Republic of China, so she hurriedly made a blessing, "Xiaodong has seen Mr. Lu." ”

Lu Xihua said, "It turned out to be Brother Hexuan's girlfriend. Xiaodong, don't call me Mr. Lu, it sounds weird, just call me Lu Xihua. ”

Meng Xiaodong heard Lu Xihua call himself Brother Zhou's girlfriend, although he didn't know what it meant for a while, but he literally understood it, others said that Brother Zhou and himself were a couple, and he was sweet in his heart at the moment, and smiled slightly, "Then I'll call you Brother Lu." Meng Xiaodong is only 20 years old at the moment, and his perennial performances seem to be more mature, but when he looks at Lu Xihua, he naturally has a deep breath when he moves. Brother Zhou seemed to attach great importance to coming to visit Lu Xihua this time, so he changed his name to Lu Xihua and Brother Lu to get closer to his Brother Zhou.

Lu Xihua's eyes lit up, "Okay, Brother Lu, I can't let you scream in vain, Brother Lu will give you something in a while." Well, both of them are good friends of mine, so let's have a bite to eat. ”

Zhou Hexuan was not polite, and found a table away from foreigners and sat down, "What do you have here?"

Lu Xihua said, "It's all Western-style dim sum or something, but it's improved." I look at the ingredients, the menu is different every day, so let's make it to you a little bit of taste, you see how it goes. ”

Zhou Hexuan nodded, "It's all up to Xihua." "Since Brother Zhou nodded, Meng Xiaodong must be fine.

After a while, Lu Xihua served two glasses of cold drinks, and Zhou Hexuan was speechless when he saw the color and smell. Meng Xiaodong took a small sip of the straw strangely, and his eyes lit up, "Brother Lu, this drink is delicious." It's sour and sweet, and it has the taste of black tea, and it feels so comfortable to drink it, what is this called?"

Lu Xihua smiled and said, "Your Brother Zhou knows, you ask your Brother Zhou." After saying that, he turned around and left.

Looking at Meng Xiaodong's inquisitive eyes, Zhou Hexuan sighed, "This is called iced black tea, it is blended with black tea and honey, by the way, you can also put the lemon slices on the cup into the tea, so that the taste is better." ”

Meng Xiaodong suspiciously put the two slices of lemon on the drink cup into the tea, adjusted it a few times with a straw, took another sip, and said happily, "Brother Zhou is really knowledgeable, I know this, people still think it is used for decoration." It turns out that this drink is called iced tea, it's really strange, it's really delicious, I want to tell Miss Zhang and Miss Guo when I go home, let them come and taste it. ”

Zhou Hexuan looked at the familiar drink in front of him, recalled the previous popular bottle of another bottle, and said, "What are you drinking here?" I will ask Xihua to tell you how to do it in a while, and you can do it when you go home." ”

Meng Xiaodong stuck out his tongue and didn't speak again.

After a while, Lu Xihua came over with four more plates, two in front of one person, "I made baguettes today, so I made garlic bread with creamy oysters for you, baked potato strips with meat foam, and two of you use them slowly." ”

Meng Xiaodong looked at the plate in front of him, the two-finger-thick slices of bread were coated with butter and sprinkled with green parsley, which was roasted golden brown in the oven, exuding a strong garlic fragrance. I couldn't help but pick up a piece with my hand, put it in my mouth and bite it, the burnt aroma of broken bread mixed with the smell of roasted garlic and parsley instantly filled my mouth, and the butter was salty, and my mouth was full of fragrance.

Lu Xihua smiled, "It tastes better when you pour cream oysters on bread and eat them together." ”

Meng Xiaodong listened to Lu Xihua's words and immediately scooped up a spoonful, buried the milky white oysters in the sweet cream, poured them on top of the roasted slices of bread, and ate them in one bite. The smooth sweet cream with butter bread flavor, the delicious and fat oysters with garlic and parsley, and the last bite of the fruit, there is even a fruity taste, which is not suppressed by the cream and butter at all, and the unique aroma of the fruit remains between the teeth.

Meng Xiaodong's eyes couldn't help but widen, "What is this?!" The crispy toast and oysters are a perfect match, one bite or two can't stop, and the happiness in the mouth is full of happiness, what is this?

"Pineapple, I used pineapple diced and mixed in the cream, is it delicious?" Lu Xihua asked with a smile when he saw Meng Xiaodong eating the food he made in surprise.

Meng Xiaodong nodded, there was no time to answer Lu Xihua's words, his mouth was full of food, fortunately, he was a friend of Brother Zhou, if he was seen by fans who liked him eating so disregarding his image, it was estimated that his eyeballs would fall.

Zhou Hexuan also felt that the things made by Lu Xihua were delicious, and he kept eating them in his mouth, thinking to himself, could this compatriot be a food expert?

In the end, Lu Xihua served the two of them another vanilla ice cream.

Zhou Hexuan raised his thumb to Lu Xihua and said, "Xihua, the taste of your dish is really amazing, and the business is not hot." ”

Lu Xihua shook his head, "I don't do it often, it's enough to cook it three or four times a week, just make small meals and cold drinks, mainly to entertain friends and kill time, and for the rest, I asked two cooks to take turns to do it." You must be here for me to cook and make sure you eat well. ”

Zhou Hexuan nodded, in his opinion, this is a personal hobby, and life can be adjusted under adjustment, but it is not good to make it into a business.

Lu Xihua looked at the time and said, "It's a bit difficult to talk here when the two of you visit. Go, go to my house, go to my backyard. ”

Zhou Hexuan nodded, and stood up with Meng Xiaodong. Lu Xihua took off his chef uniform and said hello to the hired chef and waiter, and walked home with the two of them.

"Brother, brother!" Halfway through, he heard his sister Han Caier's voice, Lu Xihua turned his head and saw Han Caier riding a bicycle, with a yellow cat in the front pocket, and when he arrived at his group, he stopped steadily in front of him with a brake, it seems that his sister's driving skills are already very skilled.

"Brother, are you going home?" Although Han Cai'er was talking to Lu Xihua, her eyes were on Zhou Hexuan and Meng Xiaodong.

Lu Xihua nodded and introduced, "This is your Brother Zhou, Sister Meng." "There's no way, although Cai'er is young, but the seniority can't be less, follow yourself and call it.

Han Cai'er called out obediently, "Brother Zhou, Sister Meng." The yellow cat in the car pocket also said hello, Meng Xiaodong also said hello, reached out and touched the yellow cat's back, and praised, "This cat is so beautiful." ”

Only then did Zhou Hexuan notice the yellow cat in the car pocket, and when he looked at the coat color, this was a leopard, he was surprised, and couldn't help but speak, "Xihua, this cat?"

Lu Xihua nodded, didn't speak, Zhou Hexuan saw that there must be something here, so he didn't speak anymore, he didn't feel comfortable saying anything on the road, and he would talk about it when he got to Lu Xihua's house.

Lu Xihua smiled and said, "Cai'er, don't you like to sing? Sister Meng is a master of Peking Opera, so she can't do without singing, and she can help you in many ways." ”

Han Cai'er's eyes lit up, "Really, Sister Meng, people will ask you a lot of questions in a while." ”

Lu Xihua saw that everyone had gathered, and it was inconvenient to stand on the street and chat, and said, "Go home first!"
