After the oil in the frying pan was heated, Zhuo Yang put the chopped onions and carrot slices in and began to stir-fry. After a while, the aroma of the onions struggling in the oil filled the nose, and he poured in the pickled meat.

Prepared lamb cubes.

Use a slender wooden-handled spatula to continue stir-frying. When the mutton began to release water, Zhuo Yang did not sprinkle salt into the frying pan, but added a little more black pepper.

This is also the secret skill of Chef Ogilio Bodin. He said that the secret to keeping lamb tender and delicious is here, and he doesn't tell ordinary people at all.

Zhuo Yang felt that Bo Ding was deliberately showing off his mystery. People always like to make simple things seem mysterious to make them look awesome. However, Zhuo Yang still listened to Bo Ding's instructions because he really didn't understand.

If you understand, don’t use force.

According to the procedure, Zhuo Yang poured a glass of wine into the frying pan for three minutes. After the blood-red liquid blended into the ingredients, the aroma of the mutton wafted out.

Adding one-half cup of water, Zhuo Yang closed the lid of the frying pan, turned down the heat, and began to simmer.

While washing the potatoes, Zhuoyang happily imagined how touched Kou Kou would be when she came back and saw this pot of carefully cooked delicious food.

Love needs to be moved, even if it is self-moved, it is much better than the dullness brought about by common occurrences. Kou Kou is a girl who likes to be moved, and sometimes she even deliberately pretends to be surprised, which makes Zhuoyang very satisfied.

.

Love needs encouragement, and long-term touching will give the other person a sense of accomplishment after being encouraged again and again, and he (she) will have the motivation to continue to please and flatter.

The taste of love gradually becomes dull as time goes by. Isn't it a lack of emotion? Without encouragement, everything will become passive.

Isn't life like this?

The rich aroma of lamb swarmed out from the edge of the pot, indicating that it was almost done. Zhuo Yang stared at the timer specially placed on the kitchen counter and waited until exactly twenty minutes had elapsed, not more than a second.

There were quite a few, so he quickly opened the lid of the pot and hurriedly put the tender peas and cut potatoes in.

In fact, they are all very common ingredients, and Europeans have been mixing them like this for hundreds of years. It is a very homely dish, and it is no more mysterious in a high-end restaurant than at home.

The only difference is that the lamb meat in the restaurant is rarer and the meat quality is fresher. This difference is precisely the biggest difference between the restaurant and home-cooked lamb, and it is also the difference in exquisite taste.

Zhuoyang considers himself a foodie, but he has to admit that he is still a little behind Fa Xiaohaiyang in terms of food.

Haiyang said that there is actually nothing mysterious about mutton. Whether it tastes good or not depends entirely on the mutton itself. If the variety is good and fresh, no matter how you cook it, it will be the same.

Zhuo Yang's hometown, Xi'an, is a place that eats beef and mutton. After all, it is a province of steamed buns. However, the locals in Xi'an are very picky about mutton. Beef and mutton restaurants rely entirely on word of mouth to survive. It is impossible to keep diners satisfied.

There are often two identical stores next to each other, and while there are huge crowds of people queuing up, the boss seems to be swatting away flies.

According to Haiyang's explanation, this is actually a virtuous cycle. Stores with good business sell beef and mutton quickly, so the ingredients are always fresh, so the taste is good. If the taste is good, the business will be better.

The principle is very simple. Regardless of inheritance or culture, it is all based on this simple principle.

.

Since it was his first time, Zhuo Yang strictly abided by the cooking time and tried his best to make sure every minute was accurate from the beginning.

He made an appointment with Kou Kou to come back at seven o'clock and have dinner together after she came back. Kou Kou was still very punctual. Zhuo Yang was stuck cooking at seven o'clock. He wanted the romantic lamb to arrive as promised.

Looking at the watch, it was already 6:50. Kou Kou should be not far from the Crystal Palace. Zhuo Yang tilted his ears to listen to the movement at the door.

The ringtone of the mobile phone rang in the living room, and it was his "Code Rhapsody". This was Kou Kou, her exclusive ringtone.

When they reunited in the Queen's Flower Lane in Florence, Zhuo Yang and Kou Kou began their lifelong love affair. That night, Zhuo Yang explosively composed six piano pieces, which was the "Princess Kou Kou Suite".

Among these six songs, Kou Kou likes "Code Fantasia" more and more. She said that it has an inexplicable magic power.

Jogging to the living room, Zhuo Yang answered the phone.

"Zhuoyang, are you good at home...Caroline and I met Serena and Dorothy..."

Zhuoyang didn't know who Serena and Dorothy were. They must be Coco or Caroline's new friends in Madrid, or maybe Caroline's new best friend.

"...We are going to eat on Serrano Street...you don't have to wait for me...you can eat something by yourself...be good..."

Zhuo Yang was wilting on the sofa in a daze, still holding the phone that had been hung up in his hand. When Kou Kou was talking just now, several women were chatting excitedly through the receiver. Kou Kou spoke so fast that Zhuo Yang almost

No chance to interrupt.

He also couldn't say "I have a surprise for you".

Are you disappointed? I should be disappointed, but I can't be disappointed because I am a man and I have to force myself to have a brighter future.

.

At around nine o'clock in the evening, Kou Kou finally came back, carrying large and small bags. In the kitchen, the cold stewed lamb was spread out in the frying pan decadently, still in the same mess as when it was just cooked.

No, it should be said that it is more messy and can hardly arouse any appetite.

Kou Kou opened her eyes wide and looked at the pot of something that she could no longer identify. "Did you...did you make this?"

Zhuo Yang suddenly had expectations. "Would you like me to heat it up and you have a taste?" He was about to turn on the fire.

"Kekeke~~, don't stop. I'm very full. If you don't eat, what's wrong? It looks so ugly, keke~"

Zhuo Yang forcibly suppressed the urge to pick up the frying pan and throw away the meat and pan.

Kou Kou, who was still immersed in the joy of shopping, was unaware of Zhuo Yang's emotional changes. She took his hand. "I have a gift for you, come and take a look."

She dragged Zhuo Yang back to the pile of seven or eight paper bags on the sofa in the living room, which were the trophies of Kou Kou's 'shopping' today.

I dug out the largest bag and took out a dark purple men's thin sweater. The overlapping collar of the pullover gave it a slightly uniform feel. The style was very novel and suitable for wearing both outside and inside.

"Is it beautiful? Do you like it? As soon as I saw it, I thought it matched you very well. Do you like it?" Koko's eyes flashed with joy.

Coco would not say that Caroline bought nothing for Kaka, nor would she say that Serena and Dorothy only bought things for themselves. She had never been a girl who chewed her tongue.

"Hmm... Not bad, it looks pretty." Zhuo Yang said casually because he was in a bad mood due to the pot of mutton. Do I need a sweater? What I need is lamb, okay?

"Try it quickly and let me see." After saying this, Kou Kou came to take off Zhuoyang's clothes, impatiently.

Zhuoyang rubbed his face vigorously with both hands, pretending to be sleepy.

"Let's try again tomorrow. I'm a little tired. I'm going to the piano room to take a rest and get ready to practice. Let's leave it alone for now. You should also take a bath and rest early. You're tired from shopping, right?"

After saying that, he turned around and walked to the piano room on the second floor, leaving Kou Kou holding the purple sweater, the smile on her face not having time to dissipate.

On this day, he and she both prepared surprises for each other, but they both ignored each other's surprises.
