Yunding Ranch

Chapter 98
Vivienne was holding a big basin, sitting on a rocking chair, rocking back and forth, holding a fork in her right hand, leisurely picked up a piece of tomato, stuffed it into her mouth, and chewed contentedly, the sweet and sour taste made her reveal With a satisfied smile, "Fourteen, tell me, why didn't we think of eating this way before? I can eat a big bowl of this kind of dessert!"

The pot originally belonged to Fred, but it was snatched by Vivienne. Fred could only go back to the kitchen and cut three more tomatoes. "Fourteen, how much sugar should I sprinkle?" Uncertain look.

Lu Li couldn't help laughing, "It depends on your own habits. Personally, I don't think it's too much, because tomatoes have a little bit of sugar." But Fred still looked at him helplessly, and he could only stop temporarily. The movement of slicing meat in his hands, picked up the sugar bowl, and sprinkled some white sugar on Fred's plate, "Aren't you able to cook without specific portions?"

"Yeah, what's a little bit, what's a little bit, it's so confusing!" Fred complained.

"But when you eat hot dogs, I don't think you have any instructions on how much ketchup or mustard should be added." Lu Li retorted.

"That's different." Fred and Vivian said in unison.

Lu Li spread his hands, "In my opinion, it's exactly the same."

In the end, the two of them ignored Lu Li directly, with "you don't understand" expressions on their faces, which made Lu Li dumbfounded, "Fourteen, tell me, if you pour the mayonnaise down, why doesn't it taste like this?"

Lu Li was at a loss for words, "Um... I guess, what ingredients in tomatoes can react with white sugar." He made nonsense—but Vivian and Fred showed expressions of sudden understanding, which made Lu Li supported his forehead firmly, "It's nothing special, it's just that the family couldn't afford cakes and bread in the past, so it's made with the simplest food in the land. It's also delicious with cucumber salad."

"Europeans are still happy to eat grass." Cole, who walked into the room at this time, answered, making everyone laugh.Cole was holding a dustpan in his hand, which contained fresh potatoes, just dug out of the ground, and covered with soil, "Are these enough?"

Lu Li cast a glance, "Enough." He looked down at the sliced ​​meat on the chopping board, "Can you wash the potatoes and peel them?"

"Of course, no problem." Cole readily agreed.

At this time, Jessica also came in from the outside, carrying a large plate of washed cabbage, "Fourteen, what else can I do?"

"No more. I can light the fire now." Lu Li raised his voice and said, "If you want to learn, you can come and watch now."

Immediately, everyone gathered in a bustling crowd. Vivienne and Fred still couldn't forget the tomatoes mixed with sugar in their hands. When Cole and Jessica saw it, they couldn't help but started to share it. Shang Shuangshuang showed a surprised expression, obviously did not expect such a simple salad to have such a refreshing and wonderful taste.

"If salads are like this, I'd like to eat them once in a while." Jessica gave her own evaluation, and Lu Li laughed out loud. "Fourteen, what are you doing now? If you don't explain it, how will we know?"

Seeing that Lu Li was already making a fuss, Jessica asked anxiously, and the others followed suit. Lu Li was speechless for a while, "I...is making a fuss."

"But, why do you need to heat the pot?" Vivian's question made Lu Li dumbfounded. "Hmm... It's like you use butter to heat the pot. Wait a minute, I'll throw the garlic down first..."

"Garlic? God, that thing is really terrible. Are you sure it's okay?" Fred yelled. There is a seasoning that is regarded as the quintessence of Italian food, black garlic vinegar, the most expensive and authentic black garlic vinegar. Garlic vinegar, the price is even comparable to truffles.However, Fred never liked it.

Lu Li smiled and shook his head, "It's just sautéing. I didn't use minced garlic, so the smell won't be too strong."

"I can guarantee this!" Jessica bumped Fred's shoulder, "I don't like garlic either, but Fourteen's dishes are absolutely fine. This is also the most amazing thing about Chinese cuisine , if they want, they can bring out the original taste of the ingredients to the fullest, and at the same time, they can change the ingredients beyond recognition, and the original taste completely disappears. Do you know? Fourteen made a dish of broccoli last time, and it tasted really good Extremely."

"Fourteen, tell me, why do you want to burn the incense?" Vivian once again played out her curious baby instinct, and Lu Li really ran out of words this time, "Uh..."

When Brandon and Randy entered the room, what they saw was this scene. The three stood outside the kitchen, poking their heads; Cole stood in front of the sink next to him, washing potatoes; the strong aroma of garlic lingered in the room, and Before cooking, the mellow taste made people salivate.

All the ingredients gradually turned into dishes in Lu Li's hands, and the beautiful luster made people salivate.

Stir-fried pork slices with green peppers, hot and sour cabbage, stir-fried green beans, roast beef with potatoes, chicken wings with cola, and of course, the scrambled eggs with tomatoes that Weiwei An Xin wanted, and finally a winter melon and dried shrimp soup.

In a blink of an eye, the table was already full of dishes, making people overwhelmed, "Scrambled eggs with tomatoes! Scrambled eggs with tomatoes!" Vivian couldn't even wait for the rice, and without using a knife and fork, she held a piece of egg with her fingertips and threw it into the Put it into his mouth, and then showed a satisfied expression, "That's the taste!"

That vivid expression made other people eager to try it, and they all showed wonderful expressions——Different from the previous dishes, the things on the table tonight are very simple, without too many tricks, and the production is also very simple. It's so simple, but it still tastes amazing.

When Lu Li walked over after finishing his meal, the plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes had already bottomed out, "...You guys." Lu Li also looked helpless. He fried six eggs and three tomatoes, and the group was divided up in a blink of an eye. It was so fast.Shaking his head, "Eat it first, I'll fry another plate." Fortunately, this dish is simple, there is no fancy work, and it can be completed quickly.

"What is this? Why is there a soup?" Fred asked curiously and nervously.

"Haha, this is different from our thick soup..." Cole explained kindly, while Lu Li returned to the kitchen and got busy again.

Five minutes later, Lu Li returned to the dining table with two dishes, and they were already eating them enthusiastically. "Fourteen, what is that green dish in your hand?" Just saw another plate of new food.

"I saw that you all had a great time eating, and worried that there would not be enough food, so I served a dish of cucumber cold." Lu Li put the two dishes on the table.

Before Lu Li could continue explaining, they all started holding out their knives and forks.

"Fourteen, so is this what you eat at your usual table?" Cole is the only one who uses chopsticks. Of course, he is also the only one who is good at it. The rest of the chopsticks are poor households, and they still rely on knives Forks and spoons are more convenient. At this time, a piece of beef is held on his chopsticks. The aroma is overflowing, and the full soup seeps out of the meat, which greatly increases the appetite.

"Well, it's usually not too troublesome at home, simple four dishes and one soup." Lu Li picked up the bowl and chopsticks, looked at the lively scene in front of him, and now the dining table in the ranch began to feel like home, as if they were living in the same place. A family under the roof, "My mother, she is a real kitchen expert. She can conjure up a table of dishes in half an hour and clean up the kitchen. If she sees the messy kitchen now, she will frown." head."

"After dinner, I'll do the dishes." Brandon said without warning, and Cole, Jessica, and Randy all looked over in unison, looking at Brandon in surprise—— Before that, Brandon was never willing to participate in housework, and even the communication was extremely stingy, and they didn't think much about it. Brandon is a typical Texan.

Brandon shrugged calmly, "Fourteen is in charge of cooking, and we are in charge of washing dishes, aren't we?" He spoke with confidence, as if the person who had never washed dishes before did not exist at all.

"No, no no..." Randy shook his head, trying to refute, but Jessica kicked Randy hard, "Oops." Randy exclaimed, and then closed his mouth.

Jessica looked at Brandon with a smile, "Of course, that's it, let Randy wash it tomorrow." Randy wanted to argue - he washed it yesterday, but Jessica ignored Randy Di, raised his voice and shouted, "Hey, Vivienne, girls should eat less, you are still young, pay attention to keeping fit. Give me the chicken wings."

"Who said that!" Vivienne protested, and put the chicken wings into her bowl without hesitation, "After dinner, I will go for a walk outside, and I will definitely not gain meat." Then she couldn't wait to stuff the chicken wings Put it into his mouth, and said to Lu Li vaguely, "Why do you think of cooking Coke and chicken wings together? This is really... a perfect match!"

"Are you sure you don't need more food?" Lu Li said with a smile, looking at Vivian's bottomed out job.

Vivian looked down at her rice bowl, then at the dishes left on the table, "Yes!" Without any ladylike restraint, she picked up her rice bowl, biting the chicken wings, and walked towards the kitchen again.

Fred was chewing on a piece of beef brisket, and couldn't wait to raise his empty bowl, "Vivienne, can you serve me a bowl too? Thank you!"

Jessica said in her mouth, "We will all grow meat if this continues." But the fork stretched towards the last piece of Coca-Cola chicken wing on the plate. Unexpectedly, Brandon took a step faster and put the chicken wing on his fork. "Brandon!" Jessica shouted depressingly, but she still couldn't stop Brandon, he put the chicken wings into his mouth without hesitation, and concentrated on enjoying this last piece of treasure Come.

Jessica didn't have time to be sad, because there seemed to be not much beef left in the bowl, she quickly forked a piece, and put another piece in her own bowl.
