Yunding Ranch

Chapter 208 Second Chance
Chloe strode up to the porch, opened the door, and then saw the bustling scene in the whole house, which was so familiar and kind, "Hey, everyone!" Chloe waved enthusiastically , went straight to the sofa, and gave Lu Huaijin and Song Lingyi a face-to-face gift, "Welcome back, Mr. L, Ms. L. My father asked me to say hello to you on his behalf. He is still thinking about it, and I can be with you next time." Go fishing."

"I'm thinking about it too." The look between Lu Huaijin's brows became more relaxed, "You ask Robert to come with us, and we'll have a party here tonight."

"Party? He must come on horseback right away." Chloe laughed heartily, "Anything new tonight? Cole just asked me to come and get carrots. The carrots grown this time are especially delicious, my dad Now he started to compete with the horses for food, he decided to wholesale a batch of rough carrots for the horses to eat, and keep all the fourteen here for his own family."

The joking words made everyone laugh.

"You guessed it." Lily snapped her fingers and said enthusiastically, "Shishi wants us to taste the authentic hot pot." Ronald, who was sitting next to him, snorted. It seems that he is very fond of hot pot. The resentment was so profound, Lily ignored it and just rolled her eyes at Ronald, "You know, Fourteen can always turn decay into magic, I don't expect it to be like boiled fish, but at least... Looking forward to a surprise."

"Hotpot?" Chloe showed a puzzled look. She hadn't tasted it before, and walked briskly towards the kitchen, but she didn't see Lu Li, but just saw Justin who was washing the vegetables, "Jesus Christ, Justin, are you out of your mind? Are you going to work at Whole Foods? This looks like a disaster."

If there is a pile of beef and lamb in front of you, then there is no problem; but a pile of lettuce in front of you?

Justin didn't look back, and said in a deep voice, "You can go to the restaurant and have a look."

"Could there be a more terrifying situation than this?" Chloe smiled unscrupulously, but the laughter stopped abruptly when she reached the door of the restaurant, and the expression on her face turned into astonishment, "Fourteen, Are you a... uh, madman? A genius? But I'm sure you've got a lot of surprises to offer."

Lu Li, who was busy in the restaurant, raised his head and said with a smile, "No matter what it is, I will accept it. But, this is not my invention, I have to thank my great ancestors." Lu Li raised his chin, serious Thinking about it, "Which genius invented hot pot?" This is a topic worthy of research.

Chloe looked at Lu Li and shook her head dumbfounded. There was a burst of resonance in her chest, which finally turned into unbridled laughter, which bloomed brightly.

At this time, two induction cookers were placed in the center of the dining table, and two large pots were placed on top of them. One was a silver soup pot, about as deep as a palm and a half, with a diameter of forty centimeters; beside it was a relatively smaller pot. It looks like a small pot, and you can usually cook porridge in it.

The contrast is so stark that it's comical.

There are all kinds of vegetables around, such as spinach, carrot, lettuce, kale, Chinese cabbage, bean sprouts, mushrooms, white radish, etc. What's more gratifying is that there are all kinds of meat dishes beside it, such as beef, Mutton, squid slices, fish fillets, fresh shrimps and crabs, the full dishes are simply dizzying. What's more, most of the ingredients here are produced by the ranch itself, which is even more valuable.

It doesn't look like preparing a dinner, it's more like preparing a buffet party—but the problem is that none of the ingredients have been cooked, and they are still raw materials, so it changes from a buffet party to a party in an instant. It became the kitchen where dinner was prepared.

Chloe didn't even know how to express it, looking at the huge pot full of beef in front of her, "God, did you just kill a cow temporarily?"

Of course, the meat of a cow is more than that. Hearing Chloe's exaggerated words, Lu Li laughed, "I guess you will dislike too little meat in a while." This big pot seems to be enough, but in fact it is It was less than three catties. There were estimated to be nearly [-] people at the party tonight. They cut a total of five catties of beef and left a small part in the kitchen. However, the focus of the hot pot is on the combination of meat and vegetables, so Lu Li did not continue to increase the weight. .

"How do you eat this thing?" Chloe was full of novelty seeing hot pot for the first time.

Lu Li poured the butter in his hand into the spicy pot - the induction cooker has not been turned on yet, because the beef bone soup is still boiling, but it is basically ready, and the beef bone soup can be poured out in at most 10 minutes. "Believe me, it's very simple. This is the simplest dish of all Chinese cuisines, and it's also the best of the simple dishes."

When I used to eat hot pot in China, the conditions were not enough, so I settled for the next best thing.But now in the ranch, fresh and pure butter is naturally the best, and he is also looking forward to the spicy pot tonight, the taste is bound to be extremely pure.

"I don't believe in this absurd thing in front of me, but I believe in you." Chloe stared at Lu Li intently, with a slight smile in her undisguised eyes.

After finishing speaking, Chloe let the air of silence spread between the two of them like this. Between the eye contact, thin sparks were jumping, and ambiguous waves of light were flowing, tightly locking onto Lu Li. , as if even the air was dyed with a rose-colored halo, making the heartbeat start to speed up.

Lu Li was stunned for a moment, apparently not expecting such a sudden silence.

Chloe caught the stupefied look between Lu Li's brows, and the flash of simplicity and innocence made her feel happy, "I believe in your craftsmanship all the time, it's convincing."

As soon as the painting style changed, the atmosphere became more relaxed. The smile on the corner of Chloe's mouth was raised high, and the slyness after the prank was tinged with a hint of complacency, just like a little fox laughing.

Lu Li immediately reacted, lowered his head helplessly, hooked the corners of his mouth, calmed down again, and finally drew a big outline, a smile bloomed, the more he thought about it, the funnier he was, the beating heart was still in his chest Colliding with each other, he bit his lower lip, raised his head and looked at Chloe, "It's the second time."

Chloe didn't know why, so she was stunned for a while, and then saw that the smile on the corner of Lu Li's mouth gradually narrowed, and suddenly became serious, and there was even a hint of sternness in his eyes, Chloe couldn't help feeling a little nervous, "What? ?”

Seeing Chloe's tense expression, Lu Li wanted to laugh, but held back. Then he deliberately knit his brows together, looking annoyed, "This is the second time you've teased me." You can hear the sound of teeth rubbing, "Chloe, no, this is very bad."

Chloe could feel Lu Li's sharp eyes, with an undeniable sharpness that made people want to tell the truth. "..." The words of apology stuck in her throat, and Chloe realized that her joke just now seemed a bit too much, but it meant that she couldn't even make a sound.

Afterwards, Chloe saw the smiles in Lu Li's eyes overflowing, "Fourteen!" Chloe immediately realized that she was being teased, and raised her hand in embarrassment, grabbed a piece of lettuce, and directly pointed at Lu Li. Smashed it.However, since there is only one piece of lettuce, the strength is really too small, it doesn't look like being angry at all, but more like acting like a baby.This immediately embarrassed Chloe.

Lu Li took half a step forward, looked closely at Chloe through the dining table, and said in a low voice, "This is the second time, if there is a third time, then you will miss it."

The ambiguous/ambiguous words managed to make Chloe blush, which was really rare, and her cheeks were slightly hot.She thought of the last kiss, which she missed because of her hesitation; the chemical reaction between the two today, but she missed it again because of her prank.So, if there's a third time...

Lu Li's eyes, like grapes soaked in water, were so deep, so quiet, yet so bright, even though the entire dining table was separated, Chloe could still feel the scorching heat, leaving her nowhere to escape. This kind of cramped and uneasy throbbing has a hint of shyness and sweetness, and the beating of the heart suddenly becomes disordered.

God, this really doesn't look like her at all, what's wrong with her?
However, Chloe couldn't think about it. She couldn't help but lowered her eyes to avoid Lu Li's sight. When she realized her retreat and embarrassment, Chloe became a little annoyed, and raised her eyes again, greatly He looked over squarely, widened his eyes without showing any weakness, and looked at Lu Li, "What is the third time?" The words in his mind almost blurted out because of impulsiveness, but there was a burst of joyful greetings behind him. .

"Hey! We're here! We're here for dinner!"

Chloe turned her head in a panic and saw that the people who came were Li Huainan and Liu Xiaoyan. The two of them were carrying a lot of things in their hands - they looked like food. They walked in with smiles on their faces. Greeted, the hall was bustling.

Chloe turned her head again, and Lu Li had already returned to his original state. However, there was always a hint of playfulness hidden in those eyes. Chloe bared her teeth, as if a tiger was showing its fangs, and gritted. , resisted back, but this made Lu Li chuckle lightly.

Chloe waved her fist, turned around neatly, flung her soft long hair, resumed her usual valiant posture again, strode towards the kitchen with her head held high, and raised her voice intentionally, shouting loudly, "Justin, do you need my help?"

"No, you can help Fourteen." Justin flatly refused.

Chloe glanced back at Lu Li. She always felt that there was a faint smile on the corner of Lu Li's mouth. She walked into the kitchen and pushed Justin out without saying a word, "Leave it to me, I will I think you can't wash it clean!"

Justin's position was taken, he supported it with wet hands, and looked at Chloe blankly: What's going on?
