Chapter 19(1/2)
The air conditioner in the living room has been newly installed for more than a year, and the heating effect is good. Half an hour has passed, and the room has become much warmer.
Luo Jingyu washed his hands and took his bag of vegetables to the kitchen to organize. He bought a box of vegetarian chicken, a handful of vegetables, and a few winter bamboo shoots. He didn't buy meat dishes because he had them at home.
Zhan Xi was always following him. Luo Jingyu thought about it and took out her cell phone and asked her: [Do you have meat?]
"..." Zhan Xi shook her head, her eyes innocent.
Luo Jingyu asked again: [Egg?]
Zhan Xi shook his head again, Luo Jingyu was surprised, thinking how could he not even have eggs?
He looked around the kitchen, and there was a brand new rice cooker on the countertop, which was still pink, next to it was a kettle and a thermos bottle, a super clean cutting board, and a knife holder with a kitchen knife, and nothing else.
He had a guess in his mind and typed it and asked: [M?]
"Yes! Yes, yes, rice!" Zhan Xi was so excited that he was like a primary school student who finally answered the question. He took out a bag of 5 kilograms of rice from the cabinet, which had not been opened yet.
Luo Jingyu: "..."
Well, his guess was right. After Teacher Egg came here, he had never cooked food.
Zhan Xi took out the wok, cooking oil and a few bags of seasonings from the cabinet. The wok was used, and the cooking oil and seasonings were not opened.
Luo Jingyu was helpless and went to the living room to open the refrigerator to take a look. There was nothing in the refrigerator except a few bottles of yogurt, milk and a few pieces of chocolate.
Zhan Xi wanted to dig a hole in the ground and crawl in. It was so embarrassing! Xiaoyu must think she was lazy and stupid, and she was greedy!
Luo Jingyu opened the freezer again and saw a few bags of quick-frozen food, dumplings, wontons and vegetable buns. He turned to look at Zhan Xi, his eyes very worried.
Zhan Xi explained in vain: "I can learn to cook, I just moved here..."
Luo Jingyu was naturally not trying to make fun of her, but she just thought it would be impossible to have no meat dishes. The egg teacher was too thin because she couldn't cook? It was so unhealthy to eat takeout every day. After thinking about it, he decided to go upstairs to get some food and typed: [I'll get the meat home, you cook first.]
Zhan Xi looked at him blankly, Luo Jingyu pointed at the rice cooker, widening her eyes and typing in disbelief: [Cooking rice with rice, will it be possible?]
"Yes! Yes!" Zhan Xi once again pecked at the rice, "I can cook rice, I can!"
Luo Jingyu felt relieved, took out the key from her hanging jacket and went out to go upstairs.
Zhan Xi originally wanted to tell him not to be so troublesome and eat something casually, but looking at the pile of vegetables and soy products on the kitchen countertop, I felt that even if I could eat a vegetarian meal, Xiaoyu might not like it. Boys all like to eat meat dishes. Zhan Jie is the meat king, and Weiwei is the same. If you don’t eat meat for a meal, it’s like you haven’t eaten.
More than ten minutes later, Luo Jingyu came back. Zhan Xi opened the door for him and was surprised to find that he actually brought a pressure cooker.
What kind of situation is this? What kind of dishes should I use a pressure cooker?
In addition to the pressure cooker, Luo Jingyu also carried an environmentally friendly bag. Zhan Xi and he went into the kitchen, watching him pulling things out of the environmentally friendly bag in a magical way.
A whole black duck with sauce, a piece of lean pork, a bag of snow vegetables, a few eggs, two tomatoes, and a pickled vegetables...
Zhanxi: "…"
She couldn't help but pull Luo Jingyu's sleeves. He turned to look at her and Zhan Xi asked, "How many dishes do you want to cook?"
Luo Jingyu's eyes were facing the ceiling, his fingers moved, as if he was calculating, and then he opened his five fingers with his right hand.
"Five dishes?!" Zhan Xi was stunned, "There are too many? We are only two of us!"
Luo Jingyu smiled and shook her hand, probably not much or too much.
It was almost seven o'clock. Zhan Xi thought, how long would it take to finish the five dishes? But she was just the one she ate, and no one who made them had any objections. Zhan Xi pulled his sleeves again, and when he looked over, he asked, "What's there, can I help?"
Luo Jingyu thought about it and gave her the eggs and tomatoes. She made a gesture of beating the eggs and then made a gesture of cutting vegetables. Zhan Xi asked: "Scrambled eggs with tomatoes?"
Luo Jingyu shook her head.
Zhan Xi asked again: "Tomato and egg flower soup?"
Luo Jingyu smiled and patted her hands, and compared her "V", and he knew that Teacher Egg was very smart.
Zhan Xi went to beat the eggs obediently. Luo Jingyu saw that the rice in the rice cooker had been cooked, so she rolled up her sleeves, took the chopping board and kitchen knife and washed it. She cut off half of the sauce duck first, and picked up the other half connected to the lanyard. Because her hand was oily, she could only touch Zhan Xi's arm with her elbow.
Zhan Xi looked at him, he weighed the sauce duck with his left hand and pointed to the ceiling with his right hand. Zhan Xi understood: "Hang it up?"
Luo Jingyu nodded.
Zhan Xi was quite surprised: "You should take it home and eat it, you don't have to give it to me."
Luo Jingyu smiled and shook her head, then took the duck, pointed the duck with his right hand, then pointed to the mouth, and finally gave a thumbs up.
"It's delicious?" Zhan Sheng was dissatisfied. "I should have invited you to dinner, but now you have to cook the dishes. How can you get your stuff again?"
After saying a long sentence, Luo Jingyu felt a little difficult to read his lips, but looking at Zhan Xi's expression, he could basically guess what she meant. He shook his hand repeatedly, and insisted on handing her half of the duck.
"Thank you, then I'm not polite." Zhan Xi did not refuse anymore, took the duck and hung it on the balcony. When he came back, he saw Luo Jingyu had already put the cut half of the duck into a pressure cooker, turned on the range hood, and steamed it on the stove.
As soon as the range hood and gas stove were opened, there was a "boom" sound in the kitchen. Zhan Xi saw Luo Jingyu intending to cut the vegetarian chicken, so he quickly brought something wrapped in a plastic bag and handed it to him.
Luo Jingyu took it out and saw it. It turned out to be a pink apron with several white cartoon cats on the front. Zhan Xi gestured with her wearing action: "Put it on, don't stain your clothes."
Seeing Luo Jingyu put on the apron obediently, Zhan Xi walked behind him and naturally tied the rope for him. Luo Jingyu looked down at the cat pattern on his chest, and felt funny. Teacher Egg was very well equipped! Even if he couldn't do anything, it was magical.
Next, Luo Jingyu focused on cooking. After Zhanxi finished cooking, he had cut the vegetarian chicken and gave the chopping board to Zhanxi. He heated the oil in the wok and used chopsticks to fry it piece by piece.
After Zhan Xi cut the tomatoes, she didn't know what to do. Luo Jingyu turned her head and looked at her, put the pork on the chopping board, and asked in her eyes. Zhan Xi stared at the raw pork for a while, and said honestly: "I... don't know how to cut meat."
"Pa", Luo Jingyu patted her forehead with the back of her hand, trembling with a smile, pointed to the sink, made a move to wash her hands, and then pointed to the living room. Zhan Xi knew that he felt that she was in trouble here.
Zhan Xi pouted, washed his hands with his fate, and turned his body to talk to Luo Jingyu, but Luo Jingyu stretched out his arm to block her with a nervous expression, pointed to the oil pan, shook his hand, Zhan Xi asked, "Are you afraid that the oil will splash me?"
Seeing him nodding, Zhan Xi felt that he was considerate, so he stood a little far away and said, "Xiaoyu, thank you for helping me cook, then I'll go out first."
Luo Jingyu waved her hand to her back, looking disgusted, Zhan Xi had no face to refute, and decided to withdraw her praise to him and slip out of the kitchen with a puffed mouth.
Luo Jingyu was the only one left in the kitchen. After frying the vegetarian chicken, he opened all the cabinets and found the air-conditioning jar bought by Zhanxi. After washing, he poured salt, sugar, MSG and other seasonings into the jar, and then opened the soy sauce bottle and vinegar bottle. Everything was ready and the construction was officially started.
The pressure cooker made a "squeak" sound, and there were bursts of oil in the kitchen, and Zhan Xi couldn't sit still in the living room, and would sneak to the kitchen door after a while to see Luo Jingyu busy there.
His movements were orderly, as if everything was at the control of his mind, and he made an elegant gesture when he cooked.
However, the pink apron on his body was slightly out of play. Zhan Xi hugged his arms and leaned against the door frame. Watching the tall man cutting vegetables on the cutting board, somehow, the corners of her mouth couldn't stop rising.
On a cold winter night, in a rental house with warm air conditioning, a young man in a soft sweater was cooking for her, which was unimaginable before.
Zhan Jie reminded her to be careful and not to let people in the house at will, but this person is Xiaoyu!
Xiaoyu is not a stranger. Although they have known each other for a short time, they chat every day. Zhan Xi unilaterally believes that he is a particularly reliable person without any danger.
The stove under the pressure cooker was turned off. A plate of braised vegetarian chicken and a plate of fried pork slices with snow vegetables and winter bamboo shoots were placed on the counter. Luo Jingyu started to stir-fry vegetables, and the fragrance overflowed from the kitchen in waves. Zhan Xi touched her stomach and swallowed her saliva. She was hungry and hungry, and she wanted to start dinner immediately.
After boiling water and boiling the soup, Luo Jingyu opened the pressure cooker, put the sauce duck on the chopping board and cut it into small pieces to serve. When she turned around, she saw Zhan Xi guarding the door like a kitten waiting for feeding, she waved her to go in.
Zhan Xi walked to him, Luo Jingyu picked up a duck leg with sauce into the bowl, handed the bowl and chopsticks to Zhan Xi, and made a gesture of eating with his right hand.
"Can I try it?" Zhan Xi happily took the bowls and chopsticks, picked up the duck legs and took a bite. The duck legs were steamed very crispy, salty and sweet, and super delicious!
"Um! It's delicious!" Zhan Xi's eyes glowed, "Where did I buy it? This duck sauce is not salty at all."
Luo Jingyu wiped his hands and took out his cell phone to type: [My father made it an old duck.]
Zhan Xi happily chewed the duck legs and said while eating: "Your dad is so amazing! It's really delicious!"
She was chewing and talking like this, but Luo Jingyu couldn't understand it, but looking at her expression, she knew that she was praising the deliciousness of the duck. He pointed to the dishes that had been prepared, made a move to hold the plate, and made a gesture of eating. Zhan Xi happily shouted: "Is it time to eat?"
Luo Jingyu nodded. After Zhan Xi finished gnawing the duck legs, he brought the dishes to the dining table. Not long after, Luo Jingyu also brought out the tomato and egg flower soup. There were four dishes and one soup on the table, two meat and three vegetables, with red, yellow and green colors, which looked particularly beautiful.
Zhan Xi never thought eating was such a happy thing, so she almost jumped to get the bowls and chopsticks to serve the rice. Luo Jingyu looked at her back and thought that she was still slowing down, as if she had starved to the egg teacher.
After serving the meal, the two sat down face to face. Zhan Xi remembered something. She had a cold. Don’t spread it to Xiaoyu! So she brought a pair of public chopsticks. Luo Jingyu thought it was her dining habit, so she also went to get the public chopsticks when picking up the food. Zhan Xi quickly blocked his hand and said, "You don’t need it. I’m having a cold, just pick it up."
Seeing that Luo Jingyu seemed to not understand, Zhan Xi pointed at her nose and pretended to be coughing. Luo Jingyu understood, was she sick?
In fact, just now, he noticed Zhan Xi's red nose. When he was sure that she had really caught a cold, his brows frowned, with questions and concern in his eyes.
Zhan Xi thought about catching fish on Tuesday night and wanted to be miserable again, saying, "Isn't it because I'm waiting for you in the community that day? I waited for more than an hour and it was so cold!"
Luo Jingyu: "???"
He widened his eyes, as if he didn't understand what was going on, Zhan Xi said again: "I posted it on Moments yesterday, didn't you see it?"
Moments? What Moments?
Teacher Chiang Egg's circle of friends has always been closed!
Luo Jingyu was completely out of mind for dinner, and immediately wanted to turn on his phone to check it out. Zhan Xi stopped him again: "What are you anxious about? Have dinner first and look back, I won't delete it."
When she spoke to him, her speech was always a little slow and her pronunciation was clear, not as casual as she usually spoke. But Zhan Xi felt that this was nothing. Compared to typing on her mobile phone, it was already surprising that Xiaoyu could understand her speech.
I don’t know how he practiced the ability to read lips. Zhan Xi originally thought that meeting Xiaoyu would be as awkward as on Tuesday night, but now, she feels the atmosphere is pretty good and comfortable, and she seems to be very relaxed when she looks at Xiaoyu.
He can't hear or speak, which does not prevent them from becoming good friends.
Luo Jingyu no longer rushes to look at his cell phone, picks up his bowl and starts to eat. To be honest, he is really hungry and eats big mouthfuls. Zhan Xi, who looks at the opposite table, seems to have a good appetite. He eats every dish with his hands, and laughs at him while eating, giving him a thumbs-up.
The dishes made by Xiaoyu are really delicious, each dish is delicious, and there is no bragging at all! Zhan Xi ate happily, thinking that the first meal in the new home was unexpectedly caught. It was made by Xiaoyu. It was eaten with Xiaoyu. It was so rich and so delicious! Ah...happy!
Eating is always faster than cooking. Luo Jingyu ate two bowls of rice, and even Zhan Xi ate one and a half bowls. After eating, she touched her stomach, couldn't control her burping, and her little face turned red. She found that Luo Jingyu was lowering her head to drink soup, and she felt relieved.
She had made embarrassing several times this night. If he found out that it was embarrassing, she could make a comedian debut.
After both of them were full, Zhanxi packed up the dishes and went into the kitchen to wash dishes. Luo Jingyu continued to install the shoe cabinet in the living room. When Zhanxi washed the dishes, his shoe cabinet was also installed.
Luo Jingyu pulled the flip door of the shoe cabinet to demonstrate to Zhan Xi. There were three-layer shoe cabinets, three flip boards, and two rows of shoes could be placed on each floor. Zhan Xi clapped and the rainbow fart was blowing to the true feeling: "Xiaoyu, you are really amazing! Let me pretend, you will never be able to pretend until dawn!"
Luo Jingyu was so praiseworthy that she didn't know how to react. She pointed to the remaining sideboard and signaled herself to continue to install. Zhan Xi walked to him and pulled his sleeve. Luo Jingyu looked down at her. Zhan Xi looked at his eyes and shook her head and said, "Don't do it, it's too late today, why don't you... come and help me pretend tomorrow?"
