Yunding Ranch

Chapter 49 Food Guide
"God, Ronald, don't eat any more." Lily looked at her wife and said worriedly, but the fork in her hand still stretched towards the braised pork involuntarily.

Ronald, however, had no intention of stopping at all, picked up a piece of potato, then forked a piece of dried cabbage, wrapped the potato, and stuffed it into his mouth in one bite, "Fourteen, this is a vegetable, right? I You can eat more vegetables, no problem!"

"Honestly, Fourteen, are these really vegetables?" Jessica pointed at the plate of dry-pot cabbage in disbelief—they didn't like vegetables, but today the plate of dry-pot cabbage had bottomed out. A vegetable leaf was also taken away by Ronald, leaving only a little soup.

Seeing that the delicious food he made had received such good reviews, Lu Li felt indescribably satisfied, "Yes, this is a vegetable, your least favorite vegetable." The reason why he chose this dish was because of the You can add some minced meat to enhance the taste, and the broth is also a real broth, plus a little chili, not only refreshing, but also appetizing.

"I can't believe it, I can't believe it!" Jessica raised her hands in a gesture of surrender, "This is the happiest dinner I've ever had in my life, and if my mother knew, I would lick the plate clean If not, she would definitely cry and thank Jesus."

Lu Li looked at the empty plate in front of him. Except for two pieces of potatoes left in the roast beef, everything else had been emptied. What's even more exaggerated was that he had eaten most of the buns, leaving only five.This really made Lu Li sweat a little - he was worried that he had prepared too much, and ended up eating all of it!Even the rice was eaten up. At first, Lu Li was worried that they wouldn't like rice, so he didn't prepare too much. In the end, everyone divided it up one bite at a time.

The mess in front of me is simply too visually impactful.

"This is the best reward for me." Lu Li showed a big smile.

Looking at the two remaining potatoes and a little bit of rice in the rice cooker, Lu Li thought about mixing the rice with the potatoes and the soup, and then serving it to Teddy.Tonight, Teddy sat next to him with the grapefruit and grapes from beginning to end, watching them eat. Lu Li was not sure how the pets were raised, but in the past, the family would always leave some leftovers, or bones, as food. For stray dogs, don't know if that would work here.

Lu Li got up and picked up the plate of potatoes, but Cole said alertly, "What? Do you want to eat those two pieces of potatoes?"

"Uh..." Lu Li couldn't help but froze, and pointed to Teddy next to him, "No, I'm going to give it to Teddy."

"Don't want it?" Cole looked regretful, "I still plan to take a break, and then I will take care of it."

Lu Li really didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Don't force yourself. If there is a chance in the future, I will cook often. Then you will still dislike me for cooking Chinese food every day."

"No, absolutely not." Cole vowed firmly.

Lily asked again, "I heard that there are many different genres of Chinese cuisine, and there are many varieties. Today is only one of them. Is this true?"

"The first half is yes, the second half is not." Lu Li neatly mixed the rice and put it beside him. Teddy and the two little ones immediately moved over to it. Cole watched them lean back on the back of the chair regretfully. , the heartbroken look really made people laugh, "We do have many different cuisines. In different provinces—that is, your state, there will be different cooking methods and different tastes. Even in the same province, the cooking methods are different. It will be handled a little bit differently.”

Looking at Teddy who was eating so sweetly, Lu Li couldn't help but patted Teddy's head, and finally understood the reason why people like pets, "My cooking today, apart from this bowl of soup and steamed buns, other It's all from other provinces. I'm not a great cook..."

"What!" Before Lu Li finished speaking, the four of them were startled in unison. Even Teddy raised his head, seeing the shock in front of him, Jessica said anxiously, "Who says you are not an excellent cook, I'll fight whoever I want! To be honest, the Chinese restaurants I eat here are pretty good, but there is no way to compare with today."

"Thank you for the compliment." Lu Li accepted the compliment calmly. "What I mean is that all I cook are home-cooked dishes, and many of them are made by myself without formal study. If my mother is here, she is the real one. It’s amazing, a table of more than a dozen dishes can be completely unrepeated.”

When I was a child, it was popular to cook by myself during the Chinese New Year. The relatives around gathered together in a bustling manner, and there were ten tables and eight tables at every turn, all of which were handled by the eldest daughter-in-law at home.Song Lingyi's craftsmanship is definitely not boasting.

"A dozen dishes?" Lily opened her eyes wide and sighed, "People say that there are many kinds of French dishes, but compared with Chinese/Chinese dishes, the gap is really too far."

"Of course." Lu Li's confidence in Chinese cuisine is strong, and the world's three major cuisines are not just talking casually, "However, because of different eating habits, many of our cuisines, you may not be able to Adapt. Especially SC dishes."

Lu Li couldn't help but recall that when he was a freshman, he took a few friends to eat boiled fish. As a result, their mouths were all swollen. After returning, they had diarrhea for a long time. Even if the situation is tragic, it is not enough to describe it. .

"Really?" Ronald questioned, "We're Texans, we're different from other Americans. If they can't bear it, we're sure we'll be fine! Next time, why don't we go buy ingredients, and then you Come to cook? Let's try it?"

"Haha." Lu Li laughed straight away, "Of course I'm fine. There are still a lot of things in the ranch that I need to trouble you to take care of. It's just cooking a few meals. It couldn't be easier for me."

"Fourteen, believe me, if you come here with food and lodging included, many cowboys are willing to come and work for free." Jessica's eyes sparkled with little stars, and her previous image was completely subverted. Now she feels that today she It was really lucky, not only did I find a job, but the object was also a chef.

"Cooking is a kind of enjoyment, because eating is a part of life, but if it becomes part of employment, it loses its original meaning, doesn't it?" Lu Li said with a smile, but added in his heart, I now It's not bad for this little salary, there is no need to be so careful.

"Yes, yes!" Cole nodded repeatedly, "Fourteen, just now you said that besides the steamed stuffed bun, what else is there for breakfast?"

Baozi, tonight they finally learned a new word and opened the door to a new world.

"Fried dough sticks." Lu Li said, "Get up and make it tomorrow morning, it's too late tonight." Lu Li could feel the eager eyes of Lily and Ronald, like old children, "Lily, Ronald, you Are you free tomorrow? There are so many tedious tasks on the ranch, I may have to trouble you to come over and help, I will go to the market tomorrow to find cowboys, and make sure the ranch can get on track. I can ensure your three meals."

"Of course, of course there is no problem." Ronald immediately agreed readily, "Cole, six o'clock, is that okay?"

"06:30 is fine, I need to tidy up the warehouse first." Cole's answer was also very quick, Ronald and Lily both showed satisfied expressions.

The dinner was finally over. Before leaving, Lily confirmed Lu Li's recipe for making braised pork. Looking at the thin piece of paper, she confirmed the steps step by step. Then she nodded in satisfaction, "I still wanted to I have to learn how to do it, but it sounds too complicated, next time I have a chance, I will come here and learn from you in person.”

"If you like it, I will make it in the future, and I will send it to you." Lu Li felt that he had returned to his childhood again. The enthusiasm and kindness of the neighbors made people feel the warmth of the heart.The same is true for Li Huainan and Liu Xiaoyan this afternoon.

Standing at the door, Ronald solemnly gave Lu Li a hug, "Thank you, I really enjoyed tonight."

"You guys have been busy all afternoon. This is the only thing I can do." Lu Li replied with a smile. After watching Ronald and Lily drive away, Lu Li returned to the house.

Jessica took the initiative to stand up and help clean up the tableware. Lu Li wanted to step forward to take over, but she shook her head, "You are in charge of cooking, and others will be in charge of washing the dishes. If dinner is still like this in the future, Cole and I will return There are cowboys who come from behind and take turns doing the dishes, so C is the fairest."

Lu Li was not polite either, "Then I'll leave it to you."

However, Lu Li didn't rest. He went to the suitcase on the second floor, found a bag of Tieguanyin from home, and went downstairs again.This bag of tea is very precious, and it is the real Tieguanyin. However, in New York before, there was no suitable tea set and no suitable time, so it could only be kept in the refrigerator. Now in the ranch, it is finally free to drink tea.

Although the acceptance of tea in Europe and the United States is now high, especially the British can’t do without tea, but most of them drink tea bags, and they rarely make tea slowly like the Chinese / Chinese, turning tea tasting into a into an art.Lu Li thought, when should he buy a set of traditional Chinese tea sets, make a cup of tea after dinner, and enjoy the leisure time, this is the real life.

Cole looked at Lu Li's busy figure, and followed him step by step, "Fourteen, I wanted to propose to you before, if you want to really integrate into this place, after the ranch settles down, you should hold a banquet and put Everyone is invited. Not only can you announce to everyone that you have settled here and will be a neighbor in the future, but you can also officially publicize the name of Yundian Ranch. Now it seems that we can have a Chinese-style banquet, As you said just now, open a few tables, [-] to [-] people, and then have a banquet on each table, I can guarantee that you can integrate here without any effort."

Hearing Cole's magnificent suggestion, Lu Li laughed loudly, "Gourmet guide, anytime and anywhere, this is out of date, right?"
