Chapter 543 Lu Qiyan’s cooking skills
When he saw Lu Qiyan stand up, Guo Kanglai immediately understood that he was the one Xia Mingyue said was going to cook.
Commander Lu...
Want to cook?
Is it possible?
Guo Kanglai was very skeptical.
But it was rare for Lu Qiyan to come home to be with Xia Mingyue, and Xia Mingyue was unwell and needed to recuperate. It was normal for this young couple to want to express their affection.
Guo Kanglai understood in his heart, but he was still a little worried, so he planned to arrange for Chunhua and others to help Lu Qiyan.
"No need, just go about your business." After Lu Qiyan got familiar with the kitchen, he kicked everyone out.
The food for the lady must be prepared by one’s own hands, not by others!
Everyone saw that Lu Qiyan was resolute, especially because he was very deft in tying his apron, unlike ordinary men who looked clumsy, so they withdrew.
But the worry did not completely subside. Several people who were busy in the kitchen on weekdays did not dare to stay away, for fear that Lu Qiyan would stage a drama of burning the kitchen, so they only stretched their heads to watch.
“Is it really possible for this Commander Lu... to do it?”
“Since he is so sure of what he said, I guess it is possible, otherwise Haikou would have boasted about it first, but it would not actually be done. Isn’t it a bit embarrassing?”
“That’s right, there must be no problem.”
"Although, but, but... have you ever thought about the wide range of things like food..."
This delicacy is food, exquisite dishes are food, and steamed buns and pickles are food, and white water is Boiled noodles are also meals.
It depends on what Lu Qiyan can do, whether it is the former or the latter.
But probably the latter are the majority...
While everyone guessed, they continued to poke their heads to observe the situation in the kitchen.
Xia Mingyue was very calm at this time. While eating the sweet, juicy and crisp watermelon, she put the extremely delicate mung bean cake into her mouth. Occasionally, she would add a spiced orchid bean to relieve the sweetness. greasy.
A pair of eyes are staring at the water of the pond, looking to see if there is a chance to catch a big fish today and add to the meal.
Here, there was gradually a noise in the kitchen.
The clattering sound when washing, the thumping sound when chopping vegetables, the crackling sound when lighting the fire, the sizzling sound when the pot is boiling...
Just listening to these sounds, I feel like there is still some appearance, but I don’t know if it’s just pretending.
Just when everyone was still full of speculation, Lu Qiyan brought out plate after plate of dishes and delivered them to the table in front of Xia Mingyue.
Stir-fry the pork slices with green bamboo shoots. Peel the green bamboo shoots and cut them deeper until there are no teeth-piercing thick veins. Cut into thin slices and stir-fry with the tender pork tenderloin. I used a little soy sauce for coloring and added some red millet peppers for decoration. At first glance, the meat slices are light reddish brown, the bamboo shoots are green, and the millet peppers are bright red. The index finger moved.
Scrambled eggs with luffa, long and tender luffas picked freshly in the farm. Remove the skin and cut into hob pieces. No need to add too much seasoning. Just add a little salt and stir-fry it. The fresh and fluffy eggs are simmered for a while with a little boiling water. The fragrance of the loofah is completely stimulated and blends with the scrambled eggs. Just smelling it is full of fragrance and makes people salivate.
Fried peanuts and cucumbers are mixed with cucumbers, blanched and peeled tomatoes are sprinkled with a little sugar to make tomatoes mixed with sugar, and tofu is cooked with tofu made with scallions and chives. , wash the newly grown cabbage and rinse it with vinegar...
Six dishes are served on the table, a combination of meat and vegetables, both hot and cold, it looks dazzling and quite appetizing.
The dishes made by Lu Qiyan, not only look great, but are also full of color and aroma. Compared with the skills of ordinary women who often cook at home, they are far beyond Xia Mingyue's imagination.
"Not bad." Xia Mingyue nodded with great approval. "Taste the taste." Lu Qiyan put some vegetables into Xia Mingyue's bowl.
Xia Mingyue also tasted each one.
The green bamboo shoots are crispy, the meat slices are fresh and tender, the loofah is fragrant, the cucumber is refreshing...
Although these dishes are not as good as those made by skilled chefs, they are better because the ingredients are fresh, there are no major mistakes, and they are very comfortable to eat.
"Okay." Xia Mingyue nodded again, picking up a lot of vegetables by herself, putting them in a bowl, and enjoying them.
Seeing Xia Mingyue eating happily, Lu Qiyan felt happy, but he also smiled and joked, "Madam didn't say it was excellent, so that means there is room for improvement?"
"This is natural. "Xia Mingyue raised her chin, then smiled and said, "But it is not easy to do this. I have never seen you cook before. I just thought you didn't know how. You can The cooking of these dishes is beyond my imagination."
"It was true that I couldn't do it before." Lu Qiyan added some more dishes to Xia Mingyue and explained, "Later I ate the rice cooked by my wife. , I can no longer eat the food outside. When I have the opportunity, I go to the kitchen and cook it alone once or twice, and I also take the opportunity to let the cook teach me some.”
"If we talk about it carefully, can we consider it as a person who is close to the red?"
"It's just that it hasn't been completely dyed yet, and we still need to continue to work hard." Xia Mingyue pretended to be serious and joked. He patted Lu Qiyan on the shoulder.
"What Master said is absolutely true." Lu Qiyan responded seriously, and bowed to Xia Mingyue in a dignified manner, "Master will need to give more advice in the future."
Xia Mingyue was so amused that she couldn't help laughing. She almost didn't stop holding the chopsticks in her hands, still eating happily and enjoying her lunch.
Two people would naturally be unable to finish the six dishes. Before using chopsticks, Xia Mingyue had already asked Guo Kanglai to set aside some of each dish for the others to share.
Therefore, when people in the orchard were eating, they also had a taste of Lu Qiyan's craftsmanship.
“Don’t tell me, Commander Lu’s skills are really good.”
“I feel like he can compare with us.”
“Hey, this man can cook. Master, Commander Lu is such a good man. As for people, our Lady Xia is really lucky.”
“It can’t be said that the pot should be matched with the lid. Commander Lu’s care shows that our Lady Xia is a priceless treasure and deserves everything he does. .”
"You just said that a man who can cook is a good man. I can also cook, so of course I am a good man." Chunsheng interjected, raising his chin when he spoke, his face full of pride. .
"Yes, yes, yes..." someone else answered perfunctorily.
Chunsheng, "..."
The negation expressed by the triple affirmation sounds very wrong.
How can we treat them differently...
After lunch, Xia Mingyue and Lu Qiyan took a nap.
You don’t have to go inside the house, you can just enjoy the cool breeze under the shade of such a tree. The soft wicker chair on your body is very soft and comfortable, so it is most suitable for a short rest.
Because she was full and sleepy, and because the environment was so comfortable, Xia Mingyue closed her eyes and quickly fell asleep.
Xia Mingyue had a dream.
