Yunding Ranch

Chapter 74
After blowing some air, his boiling brain finally calmed down a bit. Before he could think about it, Cole's and Randy's voices came one after the other. Lu Li adjusted his breathing, and then walked into the main room. inside.

Randy was wearing an apron, standing blankly in the kitchen, holding a sharp kitchen knife in his right hand; Cole stood opposite Randy, with a questioning expression on his face, "Are you sure that's what Fourteen said? Why do I always Don't you feel right?"

"What's wrong?" Lu Li walked forward, without needing any explanation from them, he saw the murder scene at a glance - blood was everywhere on the cutting board, a grass carp was lying there lifeless, its belly had been ripped open, and its mouth was wide open. Lu Li's face was full of question marks. How can killing a fish get blood everywhere?How on earth did Randy do it?
"Hello, Dexter." Lu Li said with a speechless expression.Dexter, this is the name of the leading actor in the famous American drama "Bloodthirsty Forensic". He is a forensic doctor during the day and a bloody serial murderer at night, chasing down criminals who think they can get away with it.The biggest feature of this American drama is that it is full of blood, that's why Lu Li made such jokes.

"...Fourteen!" Randy wanted to argue, but Lu Li didn't intend to give him a chance, "Let me do it, you can heat up the pot, the dumplings should be ready when the water boils. "

Both Li Huainan and Liu Xiaoyan are experts at running restaurants, and they can finish all the dumplings in less than 15 minutes. Today, the dumplings are a bit too big, so they have to boil a big pot of water.So get ready now.

"However, the biggest cooking pot is already on the campfire." Cole reminded.

It was only then that Lu Li remembered that they had bought a big pot like the one used by French cuisine to cook broth, about half the height of a person, but that pot was cooking mutton.The pot of soup has been simmering for more than an hour, and the strong aroma has begun to waft around. Every once in a while, I have to open the lid of the pot to fish out the impurities inside. This is even more tempting, everyone's gluttonous All hooked up.

"Then make two pots, or three pots." Lu Li looked at it and decided to use a small pot to cook the dumplings, because now the largest pot at hand is used to cook live fish, "Go out and tell Li that the dumplings should be divided into three pots." Come on, and he'll tell you what to do."

Cole and Randy looked at each other, they didn't go far to run errands, because they wanted to stay and watch Lu Li make boiled live fish - never heard of such a dish, and Lu Li went to the Mexican restaurant to buy a lot of peppers and came back , which makes it even more confusing.

"Randy, just go out and yell. If you have time to tangle here, you may have already gone out and come back." Lu Li told the truth, Randy ran out in a hurry, and shouted, "Li , Fourteen said, the dumplings are divided into three pots, do we need to prepare a small pot?"

After waiting for about 15 seconds, Liu Xiaoyan walked in, "Where is the pot? Leave it to me." The sentence was in English, and she also had a smile on her face. It could be seen that getting along outside was quite pleasant, "Lu Li, what are you planning to do?"

"Boiled live fish." Lu Li said with a smile, "None of them have tried this type of method, so I thought, let them try something new."

"Chili peppers are fine, if you add a little less peppercorns, they can't eat numbness. It's good to cook according to one-third of the family's standard." Liu Xiaoyan said skillfully, looking at the ingredients Lu Li prepared. If you haven’t eaten, your Uncle Li must be very happy, he just likes this bite.”

"Haha, then I have to be careful, this dish can't be messed up." Lu Li responded with a smile.

Making this boiled live fish was actually Lu Lu's whim.In fact, there are quite a variety of dishes to choose from tonight, but Lu Li himself is a bit greedy for chili.

Although he is not from SC or HN, he usually loves chili very much. After coming to the United States, there are not so many opportunities to taste chili. Mexican cuisine likes to use chili very much, and authentic Mexican food is also spicy. Too bad, but Mexican food isn't Chinese food after all, is it?

As soon as he thought about it, Lu Li decided to show them the Chinese chili cooking method today.Poached live fish was chosen because...it's not that difficult compared to other kung fu dishes.

Texas is adjacent to Mexico, and Mexican restaurants are everywhere. Compared with other states, Texans have a higher acceptance of chili peppers.So, Lu Li didn't intend to be soft on peppers, but, as Liu Xiaoyan said, the use of peppercorns needs to be restrained.

Liu Xiaoyan walked out with the pot, and the crisp voice came along with the wind, "My son's father, there is still boiled live fish today." This sentence in English immediately caused a commotion among everyone, and people began to discuss it , asking what exactly is "boiled live fish", the scene became more and more lively.

The setting sun reluctantly lingered on the edge of the sky for a while, but after all, it couldn't last long, and it fell down mightily, and the night fell in a blink of an eye.The blazing bonfire is crackling, and the rich aroma of mutton soup permeates the yard, making the mouth water. There is still a mess of flour on the long table, but the whole plate of dumplings has been wrapped and arranged people chatting happily with homemade peach juice brought over by Dylan's father-in-law.

Li Huainan tested it with chopsticks, "Okay, everyone can come and share the dumplings." As soon as the voice fell, people picked up their plates one after another and began to line up behind the cauldron. Seeing this scene, Li Huainan couldn't help laughing, He originally thought of bringing it to the table, and everyone would divide it among themselves, but that's fine too.

"God, God, God..." Randy was the first to stuff the dumpling into his mouth, but he was burned, and he jumped on the spot, making everyone laugh out loud. In the end, it was Lily Randy was relieved by passing the peach juice, but after taking a sip of the juice, Randy persisted in taking a second bite.

"God, this is really... wow, wow!" Randy wanted to describe his feeling, but found that he couldn't find the right words at all, so he could only keep admiring, and then gave Li Huainan and Liu Xiaoyan a thumbs up , "This is really delicious!"

"Randy, here's the sauce. It's too bland to eat raw alone. It tastes better with sauce." Liu Xiaoyan stood by the dining table, picked up the sauce she had just prepared, and called Randy over.

"What? And the sauce?" Randy trotted over, but he had already landed behind Brandon. Brandon silently picked up the dumpling and dipped it in his mouth, enjoying it. Expression, without speaking, enjoying the delicious food seriously.

"It's my turn, it's my turn." Randy shouted excitedly, "This... this is not mayonnaise or barbecue sauce, what is this?" He widened his eyes and asked with his mouth, but he didn't Waiting for an answer, he dipped it directly, and then threw the dumpling into his mouth, grinning his teeth from being scalded, chewing persistently, finally swallowing it, turned around and nodded to everyone, "I think it's the same as steamed stuffed buns." Delicious! But the taste is really different!"

Everyone began to taste the dumpling one after another, nodding repeatedly. Ronald even walked to the porch, picked up the dumpling, took a bite, and then studied it seriously, looking like a professor doing research.

"Everyone, let's make way." Lu Li's voice came over, Ronald turned around, and quickly reached out to help open the screen door, Teddy jumped out straight away, screaming excitedly, "Wow, woof, woof"—— Or screaming in fear, because there was a pungent chili smell in the room, which made people choke and want to cough. Afterwards, Bucky also ran out with light steps. It seemed that he was disgusted. The smell in the house can't stand it anymore.

Lu Li came out with a huge washbasin, which was full of soup, and there was a layer of red pepper floating there, which made people's heart skip a beat.

"Fourteen? What is this? Are you sure you can eat this? Will it not kill you?"

The voices of inquiry came one after another, even Cole, Jessica and others were no exception. This bright red pot looked really scary. Sean grabbed Jessica and said in a low voice, "I thought we had enough Tough, this kid is much more powerful than you say! I need to get a bottle of beer, peach juice won't work."

Jessica chuckled, "Don't be like a sissy." Sean shook his head, walked to the table, and looked at the dish covered with a layer of red pepper again. He was obviously terrified, but But I couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva - the aroma is really too strong!
"Hey, Sean." As soon as Lu Li turned his head, he saw Sean - when Sean came over, the two simply greeted each other, "Wait a minute, this dish is not finished yet, don't eat it, Don't start eating now!" After speaking, Lu Li trotted back.

Everyone stood by and watched. After Li Huainan divided the first batch of dumplings, he unloaded the second batch of dumplings and walked over, "Lu Li's craftsmanship is still very authentic. Could it be that he went to SC to learn it?" Li Huainan said. The plates, knives and forks were also ready. To be honest, this dish was his biggest expectation tonight.

A minute later, Lu Li came out with the pot in his hand. There was a layer of black liquid in the pot, and it was sizzling. It sounded like hot oil, "Get out of the way, everyone. Some, this will splash, and if you are not careful, you will be burned." Everyone took half a step back, but still refused to leave, and stretched their heads to look at the pot of chili soup.

Lu Li tilted the pot down, and then poured hot chili oil on it, sizzling, sizzling, the whole washbasin started to boil. The special soup was dyed red in an instant, and the bright red pepper was added, which made people shy away.

Lu Li put the pot aside, "Okay, everyone can start this boiled live fish!"

Everyone looked at each other, and Chloe managed to find her voice, "Fourteen, so... where are the fish?"
