Yunding Ranch

Chapter 152
Hearing Lu Li's words, everyone looked at the glass bottle on the table with questioning expressions on their faces - where is there any magic seasoning, how could it be possible to add a little seasoning to a dish and then become delicious Woolen cloth?This is no fairy tale.

However, looking at Lu Li's swearing expression, everyone couldn't tell whether Lu Li was joking or pranking, or telling the truth seriously.Each expression is very playful.

Alice came over at some point, looked at the glass bottle on the table, and read it out word by word with difficulty but clearly, "Old... fuck... mom... what is this?"

"Magic seasoning." Lu Li gave the same answer. Everyone showed expressions of disbelief at the same time. Fred was the first to ask, "MSG?"

Because of misleading media propaganda, many people's deepest impression of Chinese cuisine is MSG, which has also received fierce criticism from many nutritionists.In the United States, in order to save money, many Chinese restaurants also add a lot of MSG, which affects people's impression and senses.After Lu Li came to Yunding Ranch, part of the reason why his cooking received so much recognition was because he never used MSG and relied entirely on the original taste of the ingredients to complete the cooking.

But before Lu Li could answer, Randy was the first to deny it, "Look clearly, this is MSG? You've never seen MSG before, have you?" The bottle in front of you couldn't beat MSG at all. Above, shape, color and taste don't matter at all.

"Then what are you talking about?" Fred's rebuttal made Randy choke immediately, and he couldn't tell why.

In the end, Tony, who was still standing behind, pushed everyone away, "Try it and you'll know, really." Then he rolled his eyes, as if to say, "a bunch of idiots", which made Lu Li laugh uncontrollably .

Tony picked up the bowl of beef noodles in clear soup, took a sip of the soup first, then took a sip of the noodles, savoring the taste carefully, his expression didn't change in any way; then he opened the can of Laoganma again, Spooned some out with a fork, added to the soup, and repeated the previous action.

Everyone looked at Tony intently, but Tony never spoke. He chewed and tasted for a while, and seemed to feel that he could not taste the taste. Arrived in the soup, gave it a stir and started eating the noodles again.Each time he raised his head, making a slow-tasting expression, as if discerning the subtle differences.

"Tony, how is it?" Randy finally couldn't help it, and asked curiously.

But Tony raised his right hand to stop Randy, then closed his eyes, bowed his head again and took a mouthful of noodles and a big mouthful of soup, chewing slowly and slowly.

Cole took a closer look, then noticed something was wrong, turned his head to look at Lu Li calmly, "Fourteen, give me a bowl, I'll give it a try too. Someone always has to make a sacrifice, right? "

Lu Li held back his smile. He also saw Cole's discovery—almost two-thirds of the noodles in Tony's bowl had gone, and he had been eating a few more mouthfuls of noodles ahead of everyone on the pretext of tasting them. In fact, this action itself explains the quality of the taste, and there is no need for verbal explanation at all.

Lu Li brought another bowl to Cole, and then Cole started to eat the noodles without saying a word. He couldn't help but scooped up two tablespoons of Laoganma and stirred them into the noodles.

In fact, Laoganma still makes noodles more delicious. Putting them in the noodle soup will dilute the taste and dissipate the aroma. However, the beef bone soup is already rich in fragrance. After adding Laoganma, Naturally, it is mouth-watering.Lu Li had heard before that Laoganma was already available for purchase on Amazon. Besides the Chinese studying and working here, there were also many foreigners who liked it very much, and the sales skyrocketed.However, today was the first time Lu Li witnessed the power of the old godmother.

It’s not surprising to think about it carefully. Western cuisine has always attached great importance to various dipping sauces, such as ketchup, barbecue sauce, mustard sauce, etc. Laoganma’s rich-flavored dipping sauce has surpassed barbecue sauce by several streets and won the hearts of foreigners. And it's no surprise—especially in Texas, which is heavily influenced by Mexican cuisine.

It was Tony first, then Cole, and now Fred also came back to his senses, "Fourteen, make me a bowl of noodles." But before the words fell, the others also responded, "Fourteen, I Me!" You yelled, fighting over the ground, the scene was so lively that everyone in the restaurant looked over one after another, with puzzled expressions on their faces.

Lu Li ordered a total of three tubes of dried noodles, which were not enough. Each person was only given a small bowl, and the bottle of old godmother was drained. Everyone looked like they hadn't eaten enough, which made Lu Li really dumbfounded.

Then, Lu Li picked up the cooked Houttuynia cordata and put it aside to cool down.As expected, this bowl of traditional Chinese herbal tea prepared in the simplest way has no market in the United States, even more neglected than Tieguanyin.Alice drank a small bowl out of curiosity, but her expression was so delicate that others were even more reluctant to try it.

However, Lu Li didn't force it, as the physiques of Easterners and Westerners are inherently different.The simplest truth is that after giving birth in the West, women in the West can go directly to the ground the next day, even swimming in the sea without any problems, and then start to go to the gym to lose weight.But Eastern women need long-term recuperation.

Houttuynia cordata, a cold herb, is indeed not suitable for Americans.

Lu Huaijin and Song Lingyi drank a large bowl each, and then Lu Li filled another large bottle with a thermos and put it in the master bedroom. This way, if they wake up in the middle of the night and want to drink water, they don't need to go downstairs.

After all these things were busy, Lu Li returned to the bathroom and took a hot bath. His muscles gradually relaxed, and his fatigue seemed to disappear.

Back on the first floor, the noise had settled down. Both Lu Huaijin and Song Lingyi went upstairs to take a shower, and everyone else began to prepare for bedtime rest—there will be two consecutive days of carnival waiting for them tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. , leaving only Jessica tidying up the room.

Although staying at the ranch today, Jessica is not idle at all. Taking care of the entire ranch by herself is definitely not an easy job. After everyone came back just now, Jessica was also responsible for maintaining order and guiding the vehicles one by one into the parking lot , and then arranged various washing tasks, so busy that he never touched the ground, until now.

"Go to rest too, you have to get up early tomorrow." Lu Kai said.

Jessica nodded affirmatively, "What about you? Are you still sleeping in a tent tonight?"

Lu Li smiled, "Of course, that's the plan, isn't it?" He didn't know much about beds, but he had a very special experience sleeping in a tent last night. Stick to it. "I sat on the porch for a while, and then went to rest. You should go back early."

Due to the chaos of the cowboy meeting, Cole and the others still lived in the attached house next to the main house, and did not directly move to the newly completed villa, and made plans after the meeting was over.

Lu Li didn't rush to sleep because Lu Huaijin and Song Lingyi were still washing up and didn't go to bed. He didn't know if there was anything else he needed. He waited until they were all asleep before going to bed.

When I came to the porch, I sat on the old chair and looked at the moonlight above my head. There are a lot of clouds tonight, covering most of the moon. Even the stars are hidden behind the clouds, and the night looks a bit heavy. But it also added a touch of silence to the vast pasture. Through the haze of the alcohol lamp, you can vaguely see the tranquility of the beech forest and the distant oak forest. Lu Li couldn't help but imagine that if a bamboo forest was planted by the lake, it would be What a sight.

However, Lu Li didn't know whether North America was suitable for planting bamboo forests, so he needed to investigate.Perhaps, North America is still more suitable for metasequoia or maple, but planting metasequoia has the same effect, adding a freehand charm to the rough and wild pastures.

"Haven't you slept yet? You've been exhausted all day today. I thought you'd already rested." A soft voice came from next to Lu Li's ear. Lu Li raised his head and saw Alice. She had just finished washing her hair. After blowing it with a hair dryer, it was not completely dried, and there was still some faint moisture, hanging down lazily. She was wiping it with a towel in her hand.

"Relax and relax." Lu Li smiled and replied, "What do you think? Is today's event interesting?"

"Of course!" Alice answered simply and without any hesitation.

Lu Li's smile rose a little more, "That's great, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

"Thank you for the invitation." Alice sat down on the bench next to her. "Otherwise I would have missed such a wonderful moment."

"This is just the beginning." Lu Li bent down slightly, spread his hands, and made a curtain call gesture, as if the cowboy convention was his performance stage, and took all the credit for himself. This action made Alice gasp He chuckled, "How is it? Did you gain anything from the language exchange today?"

"Chinese is the most difficult language in the world?" Alice's rhetorical question made Lu Li smile.

"Although Persian and Russian may protest, I am willing to accept such praise." Lu Li said with a smile, and Alice couldn't help but chuckled, "Thank you for willing to exchange languages ​​with my parents." According to the plan, they were supposed to communicate with him, but instead, they helped Lu Huaijin and Song Lingyi.

"Isn't it me who benefited?" Alice responded playfully with a rhetorical question again.

Lu Li nodded with a smile, and stopped being polite. He turned his head and looked at the dense darkness in front of him. Without the decoration of moonlight and starlight, the whole world was left with a vague outline, but it was just such an undulating arc. But there is a thrilling beauty that makes quietness a kind of enjoyment.

Alice also fell silent, quietly enjoying the scenery and the tranquility.The sound of the wind rustled softly.
