Chapter 8 Natural and Artificial
This is a necessary working environment for Du Xiao, and he has to use these monitors every day to look at the stock market, bond market, futures, etc., and make various investment decisions.
After locking the office door, Du Xiao pinched the time when Liu Qianqian came back, and pushed open the door as if he was about to go out, so as to enjoy Liu Qianqian's expression from surprise to shock.
"You ......"
"Coming back?"
"I ......" Liu Qianqian was speechless for a while, and held back for a long time before she said, "I have already returned the money to you!"
Du Xiao chuckled, "Don't be nervous, I'm not here to chase // debts." ”
When Liu Qianqian heard that she didn't ask her for money, the expression on her face was really much more relaxed, "Then you are coming to see me?"
"I was quite shocked when I received your WeChat yesterday," Du Xiao made up the story unhurriedly, "I forgot to tell you that I also signed up for Bright Entertainment, coincidentally." ”
"Really? Wow! Congratulations!" Liu Qianqian's eyes widened, and she suddenly remembered something, and said with some doubts, "But, didn't you say that you have a lot of money?"
"That's right," Du Xiao said nonsense seriously, "so I don't care about money, I just want to pursue my dreams." ”
In fact, this is not nonsense, his dream is to eat a hot and good meal, and he enters Bright Entertainment to chase (receive) the dream (near) dream (big) want (cooking).
As soon as Liu Qianqian heard the word dream, her eyes lit up: "Really, congratulations!"
Du Xiao pretended to beg for food as if nothing happened: "Just talk about it?"
"I'll invite you to dinner!"
"I'm a picky eater and can't eat anything outside. ”
"I'll do it for you!"
Du Xiao followed Liu Qianqian to the cafeteria with satisfaction.
The lunch time period also passed, and there was no one in the afternoon, and Baozishan was not in the back kitchen, so he mostly played with the computer in the rest area during the break, studying and researching recipes.
Liu Qianqian talked to him, and after getting the consent, she took Du Xiao into the back kitchen.
Du Xiao was still a little resistant in his heart, he was afraid of smelling the ingredients in the back kitchen.
But as soon as he stepped inside, he was relieved.
It's completely different from what he imagined to be in the back kitchen.
There is a lot of space, and in the middle is a middle island, which has a treatment table and a pool. Surrounding the island is a refrigerator and freezer on one side and cabinets on the other, filled with cutlery and kitchenware.
On the other side of the door is a large cooking station.
Liu Qianqian introduced to him: "This is the chef's cooking table, and the senior takes good care of it." ”
The whole kitchen is clean, there is no mess, and all the ingredients are sorted on the shelves and in the refrigerator.
There were no chairs in the kitchen, Du Xiao moved one from outside, sat next to Zhongdao, Liu Qianqian swept around the ingredients, and nodded with satisfaction: "It's complete." ”
Du Xiao's heart was full of anticipation: "What are you going to do?"
Liu Qianqian didn't answer, but asked him rhetorically: "What do you usually eat?"
"Eat nothing. ”
Liu Qianqian didn't understand, "Don't eat anything?"
Du Xiao told Liu Qianqian about his three "meals" a day, and Liu Qianqian didn't say anything for a long time.
Nutritional Injections...... She had never heard of it.
It's a blatant challenge to her as a nutritionist!
Liu Qianqian looked at Du Xiao.
From the bottom of his heart, Du Xiao's appearance can be regarded as quite good.
It's just that the fair cheeks are so thin that they are almost sunken in.
It is both a challenge and a difficulty to raise Du Xiao, who is such a picky eater, and to be healthy.
But she is a professional nutritionist and has professional dignity, how can she retreat in the face of difficulties.
The more Liu Qianqian thought about it, the more enthusiastic she felt, and she rolled up her sleeves: "Okay!
She took out her mobile phone from her pocket, the screen that was broken before had been replaced with a new one, Liu Qianqian flipped through the notepad: "Why are you picky eaters, do you know yourself?"
"Yes. Du Xiao didn't continue to elaborate, Liu Qianqian thought about it, and didn't ask.
Liu Qianqian nodded: "Not allergic, right?"
Du Xiao shrugged: "I don't know, I can't eat most things, so why don't I have allergies." ”
"That's right," Liu Qianqian said, "at least you didn't have an allergic reaction after drinking the soup that day, which means that you are not allergic to those root plants." ”
He also said, "It just so happens that I still have the soup I made in the morning, which is the same as that day, and in order to lose weight, I basically always prepare this kind of soup, and I will give you a hot drink first." ”
After a while, a bowl of hot soup was placed in front of Du Xiao.
Du Xiao was half nervous, half expectant and picked up the spoon and took a sip.
!!
You can really drink it!
The exact same taste as that day!
Liu Qianqian's soup doesn't know what treatment has been done, although there are many kinds of vegetables in it, but the soup is unusually refreshing, and the taste is very simple, a little fresh and sweet, and a sweet and sour fragrance.
"What kind of scent is this?"
Liu Qianqian happened to come over with a dish: "It's a tomato." ”
"It was delicious. ”
Seeing that he finished drinking the soup, Liu Qianqian handed him the mushroom in her left hand: "Sniff?"
Du Xiao sniffed it and frowned: "This can't work." ”
It's the smell of the fungus he hates the most.
She handed the mushroom in her right hand again: "Smell this again." ”
This one is a little different, Du Xiao smelled it once and sniffed it again suspiciously: "This one doesn't smell good." ”
Liu Qianqian laughed: "It seems that my judgment is right. ”
"What do you mean?"
"The one in my left hand is a pure natural mushroom, a very expensive one, rich in glutamate, delicious and delicious, but it is too irritating for you. Liu Qianqian said, "The right hand is a cheap artificially cultivated fungus, which contains all the nutrients that the fungus should contain, but it can't be forced in terms of taste, it generally has no taste, everyone doesn't like to eat it, but it suits you." ”
Du Xiao suddenly realized.
With his background, he naturally can't eat artificially cultivated ingredients.
The Du family itself is a catering, and they have high requirements for ingredients for their own meals, almost all of which are green and natural ingredients.
But for Du Xiao, the strong smell of natural ingredients is really unpleasant.
So it's not like he hasn't hired a dietitian, but none of them.
Liu Qianqian said: "Normally, umami is one of the keys to people feel delicious, but umami is a very mysterious thing, I won't tell you about the complexity, for a simple example, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, when making this dish, in order to pursue umami, most chefs will put a little sugar, these sugars can suppress the sour taste of tomatoes after heating and bring out the umami in the salt." ”
Ordinary people can only eat salty and fresh when they eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes, but they can't eat that bit of sweetness.
But Du Xiao is different, Du Xiao can not only eat salty and fresh, but also eat the sweet taste, as well as the pepper flavor when using Sichuan pepper boiling oil, as well as the pungent taste of green onions.
These tastes, which should have been suppressed by salty freshness, exploded in Du Xiao's mouth in one go.
No wonder he found things unpalatable.
