Food is full of favorability [Interstellar]

When I left Luo's house, the rain had gradually stopped.A ray of sunlight pierced through the dark clouds covering the sky, outlining the sea of ​​clouds with a dazzling golden edge, making people feel brighter for no reason.

Xivir was tall and tall, waiting for him beside the lush eucalyptus leaves by the gate, his long eyelashes drooping slightly, he lowered his head unconsciously, took off his gloves, and smoothed out the folds on them one by one.

"Xi Weier!" Luo Bai had an unconscious smile on his face, and ran towards him with a soft shout, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"

"No, I just arrived." Xi Weier subconsciously responded.In fact, the speed of the sonic boat was extremely fast, and he didn't know how to explain it, so he had been waiting here for a while.But when seeing Luo Bai approaching with a smile on his face, it seemed that the waiting time became short and insignificant.

"Let's go." Luo Bai nodded, not puncturing his words.There were still some damp water marks on Xi Weier's military uniform, and it was obvious that it came before the rain stopped.

He took Xi Weier's hand and walked towards the sonic boat.

Like the delicate and handsome face, Xi Weier's fingers were well-defined, white and slender.After taking off the gloves, the clasped hands looked dry and warm, and the short distance walking out of the door together seemed to be infinitely lengthened.

"...What did you do when you got home today?" Xi Weier turned his head to look at him with a gentle expression.

"Well, I probably just chatted for a while, and then I made two desserts for my father, and I also got a national food plan tailored by him."

Silver: "What dessert?"

"Cream caramel pudding and double-skin milk, two desserts that are very simple to make," Luo Bai glanced at him speechlessly, "Why are you thinking about making something delicious... The key is the gourmet plan!"

Xi Weier couldn't help laughing and said: "Because you cook different delicacies every day, of course I'm more curious about the things I haven't eaten before, and I'm also looking forward to every meal."

"Stop boasting... I'd better tell you about the gourmet plan." Luo Bai was a little embarrassed by his straightforward praise, so he could only cover up the plan that Luo Qiong gave him in detail, and in the end he didn't Forgot to add: "What do you think?"

At this time they had already walked up to the sonic boat, and Xi Weier reluctantly let go of his overlapping hands, sat down in the cockpit, and waited for the spaceship to launch into the air and stabilized after a few seconds, before turning around. Turning his head to him, he said, "I think the feasibility is very high."

"As for the permission to set up a platform... I think you can discuss it directly with His Majesty." He said with a smile in his eyes.

"To see His Majesty?" Luo Bai opened his eyes wide in astonishment, and suddenly turned his head to look at him, with such force that people worried whether he might sprain his neck.

Xi Weier nodded: "Yes... After I told His Majesty what happened on Planet Loras, he proposed to meet you, and the time was set at ten o'clock tomorrow morning. But don't worry, Your Majesty is a A very gentle person, he should only be curious about your cooking."

What he didn't say was that besides that, he also made a contribution to His Majesty's whim decision...

Xi Weier thought about the electronic agreement on the light screen, and he calmed down a lot.

Luo Bai took a deep breath and said, "You really gave me a big surprise..."

The original confidence to show great ambitions was washed away by Luo Qiong's basin of cold water and Xi Weier's thunderbolt from the blue sky. Luo Bai closed his eyes and began to think silently if he saw this vast territory tomorrow, what should he do? Say something, what kind of recipes should he prepare if he offers to try his craft.

To be honest, Luo Bai's job is actually to develop recipes in the back kitchen and direct a whole team of chefs to complete the cooking of a series of dishes. It is rare to complete all kinds of delicacies by himself every day like now.

When he was at the Pirrer Gagnaire restaurant, he worked with his master and alone as the head chef to prepare delicacies for the big shots, many of whom were famous and famous.

But, meeting and cooking with an interstellar age emperor?He couldn't help feeling a little stressed.

It doesn't matter, the person next to him is a major general, and there is a marshal and the richest man at home, so your majesty is fine... Luo Bai took a deep breath, comforting himself like this.

Xi Weier quietly moved his gaze over, and landed on his tightly closed eyes and slightly frowning brows.He found that Luo Bai seemed to be angry, and he was a little at a loss, but he didn't know if his explanation would become darker and darker, so he could only keep silent and secretly glanced at him from time to time.

The two spent the rest of the journey in silence, one was racking his brains thinking about whether he could enter the Kedanlin Palace with Luo Bai again tomorrow, and the other had already silently figured out in his heart how to use the information already in the palace. The ingredient arrangement menu...

After arriving at Delano's house, ignoring Xi Weier's staring gaze, Luo Bai turned around and went directly to the cooking room. While thinking about whether he had become unfamiliar with the skill of cooking a big meal in the past six months, he touched his hungry stomach and prepared to give it to him. Treat yourself to a hearty lunch.

He opened the cabinet door of the storage room and saw the fresh steak, lettuce and cherry tomatoes with water droplets at a glance, and nodded with satisfaction.

Xi Weier followed him to the cooking room in a muffled voice, and seeing that Luo Bai didn't respond to him, he stood by the side in a daze, acting as a silent doorpost.

Luo Bai glanced at him, "What are you doing standing there, come over to help. Or have you already eaten in the palace?"

"No, His Majesty did not invite me to eat." Xi Weier carefully observed his face, and found that he was not as serious as in the spaceship, and then responded: "Sorry, I should ask for your opinion, presumptuously. Advocate accepted this meeting for you, I didn't think well."

Luo Bai sighed, glanced at Xi Weier's uneasy look, put down the knife in his hand to remove the fascia of the steak, "I'm not angry at this sudden arrangement, after all, His Majesty wants to see me, you can't and can't refuse. I just returned from the peaceful distant star to the power center of the empire all at once, and I am not ready for it yet.”

Seeing that he wasn't angry with him, Xi Weier breathed a sigh of relief, took the initiative to take the big lettuce placed next to him and began to wash it, and the tight corners of his lips also relaxed.

Luo Bai has already planned to cook a dinner for His Majesty tomorrow, and today he is preparing to practice his skills with steak and sandwiches.

It’s actually a bit wasteful to use filet steak for sandwiches, but Xiwell has a big appetite. If frying steak alone can’t meet the lunch needs of the two of them, he just fry the most tender part of the beef as steak, and use the rest for Make beef cheese sandwiches.

A pat of butter is slid into the pan, and after it melts into a frankincense layer, the perfect filet mignon is pan-seared for color.

After both sides have turned an attractive burnt brown, pick up with grill tongs and seal the sides.This step is to make the shell and the fat on the edge more crispy, and the texture will be more distinct.

It wasn't the first time that Xi Weier stood by and watched him cook at a close distance, but every time he was disturbed by the strong smell of meat, and even swallowed in embarrassment.

What a powerful existence chefs are!It feels that they will not be tempted by the delicacies they are making at all, and their willpower is extremely strong.

Seeing that he was standing around with nothing to do, Luo Bai simply assigned Xi Weier a task: "Take out the toast that was baked yesterday and cut it into one-centimeter equidistant slices, then remove the stalks of the tomatoes and cut them into half-centimeter slices as well. Thin slices... Wait, take away the fried steak and put it in a constant temperature oven set at 53°C."

Xi Weier completed these tasks according to his words, and he was more obedient than those little apprentices in Luo Bai's previous life. Looking at his back, Luo Bai couldn't help but fantasize that if Xi Weier retired from the military in the future, it would seem that he would come to help open a restaurant together good?

Strictly speaking, the beef and cheese sandwich he was going to make next could only be regarded as fast food, but there were only the two of them eating offline, so naturally there was no need to pay too much attention.

The beef has been sliced ​​into slices half a centimeter thick, which is just the right thickness for a sandwich.

The seasoning is spread on the surface of the filet (that is, tender shoulder tenderloin), marinated and then fried in a pan over medium heat to seal the delicious gravy inside.

Take another pot, melt the butter into a liquid in the pot, put the crushed onion and minced garlic into the pot and stir-fry until the onion becomes soft and transparent, the strong aroma of the minced garlic spreads quickly and spreads throughout the cooking process in the room.Then pour in the crushed black pepper, so that the black pepper sauce after the stir-fry becomes thick without sticking to the pan.

"Xivir, put the slices of bread on the heating plate, and then spread the sliced ​​tomato and lettuce in order." Luo Bai said while putting the black pepper sauce into the container to keep warm.

Xi Weier quickly took the sliced ​​beef, the beef tenderloin with a layer of oil on the surface quickly covered the surface of the lettuce, and was covered by a layer of cheese, a layer of beef, a layer of lettuce and bread slices superior.No need to put oil, fry directly on the heating plate, so that the bread slices will become crispy and crispy after being toasted.

After being heated, the cheese slices sandwiched between the two thick layers of beef gradually melted and faintly overflowed from the beef.The rich fat of the beef begins to emit aroma, and the bread slices are heated, and the surface color gradually darkens, making it look more and more attractive.

The filet mignon placed in the oven was also taken out, one was poured with freshly boiled black pepper sauce, and the other was just squeezed with lemon juice and sprinkled with some grainy salt and pepper.

Seeing that Xavier had been staring at the steak in the oven long ago, Luo Bai felt that his greedy appearance was similar to that of Murray who was taken away by Heidi, so he held back his smile and said, "Let's start eating."

The steak was served on a lukewarm dinner plate, Luo Bai walked in front carrying two large plates, and Xi Weier carried a sandwich wrapped in foil.

The first thing to eat is naturally the fresh and delicious steak.

Luo Bai's portion was not poured with black pepper sauce, mainly to observe his grasp of the heat.After cutting it open, he carefully observed the cross-section, and found that the side of the beef was fried with a uniform gradient color—the outer layer was burnt brown, gradually transitioning to a layer of subtle gray, and then to the beautiful tender pink inside, It can be said to be perfect.

Cut off a small piece that is just enough to put in your mouth, and chew it carefully. You can feel that compared with sirloin steak, the meat of filet is more tender, and the muscle fibers are softer. It tastes bursting and juicy, and the taste is excellent. .

The sour taste of lemon has long since disappeared without a trace, and only the fresh aroma lingers on the surface of the steak, playing a role in understanding the greasiness and eliminating fishy smell.The grains of pepper and the tenderness of the beef perfectly interpret the feast on the tip of the tongue. This steak can be said to be satisfying for Luo Bai.

Of course, for Xi Weier, such a small piece of steak can be easily destroyed by three bites and two bites. He is holding the sandwich and preparing to bite it down.

A thick and full sandwich cannot be eaten with a knife and fork like a steak, it must be squeezed with your hands, and it is enough to bite down.

The bread on the outermost layer of the sandwich is a bit hard, because it has been baked twice, but it tastes extremely crispy; at the same time, the tenderness of the beef is more delicious under the background of the melted cheese; the tomato and lettuce remain Crisp and juicy, bite it down, "click" is the crisp sound of lettuce being bitten off.

Because the filling is sufficient, it needs to be squeezed tightly to put it into the mouth, but after a pinch, the meat steak is squeezed in the middle, and the steaming cheese is also flowing out from the middle, making people eat very urgently for a while, only Can bite down one bite after another.

Different from the state of being fried very tender as a steak, the thinly sliced ​​beef steak has been heated twice until it is fully cooked, and you can feel a kind of toughness when you eat it, and the more you chew, the more fragrant it becomes.

The sandwich is really filling, and the rich ingredients are compressed in a palm-sized package. After eating, it can make people feel a kind of happy satisfaction in the stomach.

After eating the whole sandwich, Xi Weier wiped off the remaining bread crumbs on his hands with satisfaction, and praised: "I feel that the sandwich is delicious and uncomplicated, and the ingredients inside can be changed at any time... It feels very suitable for breakfast. "

Luo Bai glanced at him in surprise, "Indeed."

He can think of changing ingredients and changing different sandwiches by analogy after eating it once. I really don’t know whether to call him smart or talented in eating.

Xi Weier said immediately: "In this way, after I finish my morning exercise, I can also make breakfast for you, so you don't have to work so hard."

Luo Bai blinked, and it took him a while to realize that Xi Weier was feeling sorry for him doing it himself every day and not letting the robot do it too hard, so he wanted to help him share some of the burden after he had only learned half of it.

"Okay, then you will cook me breakfast from now on, keep your word."

He took Xi Weier's hand and pulled a hook.

The author has something to say: OS: The next chapter begins with a real five-course western food menu, including appetizers, salads and soups, side dishes, main dishes, and desserts.

Luo Bai: Here we come, this is the battlefield under my command!
