Yunding Ranch
Chapter 417
Chapter 417
Lu Li held the knife and fork in his hand, and his eyes fell on the turkey in front of him - more than half of the huge turkey was left, not because it was unsalable, but because the turkey was so strong that it could be eaten overnight. It's impossible to finish it all, but there is a lot left tonight, because the other plates have basically been emptied, especially the finger lamb and dumplings.
"Fourteen, do you need some more?" Lily noticed Lu Li's eyes and asked kindly.
Lu Li opened his mouth and said hesitantly, "Can I just eat the stuffing and not the turkey?"
To be honest, the meat of turkey meat is older and tougher, and the taste is not so sweet when chewed.Lu Li deeply believed that it might taste better if it was roasted directly on the bonfire like a suckling pig, but the traditional method is really not charming.However, the taste of the stuffing is very characteristic. Lily also put a lot of traditional Mexican spices, the more you chew, the more you feel.
"Of course." Lily showed a big smile, "Don't you know? In fact, when eating turkey, the main thing to eat is the stuffing, because the turkey itself is not so delicious. We usually prefer beef and pork."
Lu Li picked up the plate, and the corners of his mouth curled up, "Then give me some more. Thank you."
"God!" Joel made a fussy voice, widened his eyes, and looked at Lu Li in disbelief, "You can still eat it? Are you sure?"
At this time, Lawrence was exhausted. Although he tried his best to keep calm and sat up straight, the comfort and difficulty between his brows still revealed the real reaction of his body; Joel was even more exaggerated, putting his hands on his slightly raised On the stomach, the whole person slumped on the chair, with an expression of lovelessness, and his eyes were completely empty.
To be precise, at the dinner table, only Lu Li was left alone.
Lu Li laughed out loud, "It's not that I'm too powerful, but that your fighting power is too weak." He took the plate from Lily's hand, "Actually, I'm full too, my stomach is full, but my mouth isn't full I always want something to eat." Then Lu Li picked up the eggnog next to him and smiled at Ronald, "A little wine and a little food, this Christmas Eve couldn't be more perfect."
"It's our honor." There was a look of happiness on Ronald's brows.
"Fourteen, is this hand-caught mutton really that simple? Can you tell me the recipe?" Lawrence asked curiously.
"Why did you ask, anyway, you don't know how to cook in New York." Joel still looked like a dead body, but he didn't forget to complain.
Lawrence rolled his eyes, "I can tell my friends to make it." Then he turned his head and looked at Lu Li, "Of course, if it's a secret recipe, then I'll do it myself."
"No, it's not a secret recipe." Lu Li waved his hands again and again. If there is any secret recipe for these home-cooked dishes, even if there is, it can be shared. "It's actually not difficult. I told Ronald before. If you are curious, You can ask Ronald to transcribe a copy." Lu Li could see that Joel's eyes seemed to turn around, and he added, "If you want, there is no problem."
Lawrence looked at Ronald, "Dad, did you make all the dishes today according to Fourteen's recipe? Wouldn't it be difficult?"
Ronald was still a little nervous and didn't want to talk to Lawrence.But Lawrence didn't have any barriers at all, and asked with a sincere expression on his face. Ronald's indifferent face couldn't help being a little bit unstoppable, and he hummed twice, "Yes."
Then I saw Joel sitting up straight, and said in disbelief, "Is it true? Don't they all say that Chinese cooking is very difficult? Many French chefs can't learn it. Are you sure?"
"Of course it's true." Ronald couldn't hold back any longer, patted the table, opened his eyes and began to say, "I tell you, you haven't seen anything really difficult. Fourteen is the Awesome, when I went to Yunding Ranch to eat for the first time, I was intimidated. This dish is the simplest, so I just made it today..."
Ronald babbled about the stories of the past, and Lawrence and Joel listened carefully, rebutting a few words from time to time, especially when hot pot was mentioned, everyone couldn't wait to express their opinions, saying His face was red and his ears were red, but it was also very lively.
Lu Li was sitting next to him, eating the turkey stuffing while watching the bustling scene. He was really uncomfortable. Then he noticed Lily's gaze, turned his head, and looked over suspiciously. Lily patted Lu Li's shoulder. He said with a smile, "Thank you."
Lu Li was at a loss and didn't understand. Following Lily's line of sight, he saw Ronald and three of them talking loudly, and even Cole occasionally interjected a few words.
Lu Li immediately understood, and smiled at Lily, "Today is Christmas Eve, I didn't do anything." Lu Li was not being modest, but telling the truth.
Lawrence and Joel are both smart people, not the type who would be moved to tears after saying a few words, and then change their appearance.In fact, they chose to come back for Christmas. This decision itself explained many things. Now they are willing to temporarily put aside work and reintegrate into the family. It is more of their own wishes, not Lu Li's credit.
Lily didn't say much, just looked at Lu Li's plate with a kind smile on her face, "Do you want to add more?"
"No need." Lu Li patted his stomach, "I still want to sleep tonight, waiting for Santa Claus." This made Lily laugh heartily, "Of course, if there are desserts, I won't Mind a little more. Someone told me that there is one stomach for the main course and one stomach for the dessert.”
"Yes, yes, I also prepared dessert!" Lily couldn't help but clapped her hands and exclaimed, and walked quickly towards the kitchen. She stopped to look at the table, and then called out, "Joel, come and help. "
"Mom, I'm not the only one here." Joel directly resisted regardless.
Lily didn't even look at it, and walked directly towards the kitchen, "Because you've done the least work today, don't argue, I don't know your ability to be lazy."
Joel raised his head, and then saw everyone's gloating expressions, and finally he could only stand up depressed, drooping his shoulders resignedly, and walked towards the kitchen.
When he just arrived this afternoon, Lu Li didn't have time to see Joel's front face at all, it was always a back view who kept making phone calls, and after a short meeting, Joel also remained silent, mysteriously, making him laugh. People are unpredictable.Now it seems that it is a living treasure of the McCartney family.
Lu Li didn't know what had happened to the McCartney family in the past few years, why Lawrence and Joel were so estranged from the family, even to the point where they didn't speak, but every family had their own hard-to-recite scriptures.He stood outside the door, but he still couldn't see the story inside the door after all.Now, looking at Ronald and Lawrence talking and laughing, at least this Christmas Eve is beautiful.
"Zizizi", the phone in his pants pocket suddenly started to vibrate, Lu Li took it out reflexively, before he could look at it, he heard Joel's teasing voice, "Didn't you say that you are not allowed to make calls today? "
I thought that Joel had already left, but I didn't expect that he was still standing at the door of the restaurant reluctantly, with a righteous expression on his face, which really made people laugh.
Just as Lu Li was about to retort, he didn't expect Ronald to interject, "When did I stop you from calling?" Seeing Joel's dumbfounded expression, both Lu Li and Cole burst out laughing.
After gesturing to Ronald, Lu Li took his mobile phone and left the restaurant. Joel quickly ran to the kitchen, yelling, "Mom, I'm here to help." Satisfied reproaches echoed throughout the hall, like surround sound.
Lu Li took his mobile phone to the door, and the cold wind like a blade blew over. Lu Li sat on the swing bench next to him, grabbed the pillow, put it in his arms, and shook it gently. , then got through the phone and shouted loudly, "Merry Christmas!"
The other end of the phone was half a beat behind, but then they also shouted excitedly, "Merry Christmas!" But just stepped on the tail of Lu Li's words, it seemed out of place, and the voice suddenly became disappointed, "Oh, I still want the first The one to say Merry Christmas to you!"
Lu Li couldn't help but smile, "There are still a few hours until the 25th. If it's earlier, isn't it too early?"
"We just finished Christmas Eve dinner, and everyone was going to chat in the living room. I thought, you should be almost done too. How about it, how did you celebrate tonight?" Alice was on the other end of the phone.
In the past two months, Alice has no news.The last time I spoke to Alice was in October. At that time, Alice received interview invitations from the "Seattle Post" and "Chicago Tribune", both of which are major local newspapers. , "Los Angeles Times", but also a rare job opportunity, almost comparable to "New York Post", the only drawback is that it is not New York.
But Alice still decided to go to the interview to have a look, and at the same time to submit a resume.Alice decided to take her eyes off the three-acre field in New York and look for more opportunities. This was also her decision after leaving Yunding Ranch.In the past few months, Alice has been backpacking, recharging her batteries, submitting her resume, and writing her own blog at the same time, and her life is extremely fulfilling.Getting an interview opportunity from a big newspaper can be said to be a natural result.
Lu Li always remembered this incident. He was extremely busy these past two months, but he still sent Alice two messages on Facebook to inquire about the situation.However, Alice didn't reply at all. Lu Li guessed which wilderness Alice should be in. Without the Internet, naturally he couldn't confirm Facebook.
Hearing Alice's voice again today, it's really familiar to see an old friend, "Ha, why do you think I'm celebrating Christmas?"
"Ah?" Alice was taken aback, "You went back to China?"
