The leisurely life of the rich start

Page 103

Cheng Mingming looked around, saw that Sun Xinlu was not there, and said proudly:

"How is it? I'm good at cooking, right?"

Zhang Da snapped: "I said you are very fragrant."

Cheng Mingming immediately knocked off Zhang Da's hand: "I hate it!"

Zhang Da stood beside her with a smile.

Cheng Mingming glanced at him: "Would you like to sit down for a while? Call you when the food is ready."

"No, I'll stay here with you." Zhang Da reached out and brushed Cheng Mingming's hair that was hanging down in front of his eyes, "Is there anything else I can do for you?"

"Help me wash the lettuce, and then tear it into bigger pieces."

"no problem."

Zhang Da nodded, grabbed the lettuce and came to the pool.

Cheng Mingming glanced at him happily.

There seems to be a special sense of joy and satisfaction when two people cook together.

Zhang Da's mood was also extraordinarily relaxed.

He tossed and washed the lettuce twice before plucking it into flakes.

"nailed it."

Zhang Da returned to Cheng Mingming's side with the dish on his back.

"Thank you." Cheng Mingming smiled sweetly, picked up a piece of beef with chopsticks, "It's your reward, do you want to taste it?"

"what..."

Zhang Da opened his mouth, signaling Cheng Mingming to come and feed him.

Cheng Ming took a clear look at him, and slowly handed over the chopsticks.

Halfway through the chopsticks, she suddenly smiled mischievously.

Then he retracted the chopsticks and sent the beef into his mouth.

Zhang Da instantly petrified.

"whee."

Seeing Zhang Dasheng's loveless eyes, Cheng Mingming picked up a piece of beef with a coquettish smile, and put it into Zhang Da's mouth.

"Is it tasty?"

"good to eat."

After Zhang swallowed the beef in his mouth, he nodded from the bottom of his heart.

Cheng Mingming smiled and put down his chopsticks, blushing slightly.

Just now, it was obviously an indirect kiss.

She suddenly saw Zhang Da put a piece of chewing gum into his mouth again.

Zhang Da casually chewed the gum twice, then wrapped the gum in paper and spit it out.

Then, he pulled Cheng Mingming into his arms.

Looking at his girlfriend's red lips, Zhang Da kissed her without hesitation.

Cheng Mingming's face instantly turned red up to the ears.

She didn't push Zhang Da away, but hugged Zhang Da's face with her backhand.

"Ming, Wen arrived..."

Sun Xinlu, who came with Liu Wenwen, quickly covered her mouth.

Before being discovered by Zhang Da and the others, she immediately took Liu Wenwen to "run away".

In the kitchen, there was a burst of burnt aroma.

Zhang Da and Cheng Mingming only came to their senses.

This beef should be mushy.

Cheng Mingming hastily turned off the natural gas stove, and then turned the beef in the pot over:

"Hiss, it's a bit muddy."

"It's okay." Zhang Da comforted, "Don't you think it has the burnt feeling that Michelin chefs love?"

"It seems to be." Cheng Mingming had a rare scary smile on his face, "Zhang Da, why don't you eat all the beef later?"

"it's not good."

Zhang Da instantly felt a gust of dark wind.

Liu Wenwen and Sun Xinlu, who were eavesdropping around the corner, covered their mouths and laughed.

After nearly a minute, the two people who had finished their expressions walked into the kitchen.

Liu Wenwen waved to the two of them and said, "Ming, Zhang Da, good evening!"

Cheng Mingming waved happily: "Wen, are you here?"

Liu Wenwen tried to keep smiling: "Yes, I just arrived, haha."

"Haha, are the dishes almost ready?" Sun Xinlu also smiled, "Wen and I are going to prepare an open-air barbecue first. I will ask the housekeeper of the villa to come over and help light the fire, and bring the ingredients over by the way."

"Okay, you go first." Cheng Mingming nodded, "I'll make another lettuce, and then wait for the soup to be cooked."

Sun Xinlu nodded: "Okay, then we'll go first, so we won't bother you."

Liu Wenwen turned into a repeater and said, "I won't bother you anymore."

Looking at the two girlfriends, Cheng Mingming suddenly had a bad feeling.

"You guys, did you see something?"

Liu Wenwen pretended to be puzzled and said, "What did you see? I just arrived."

"Yeah, Wen just arrived, I went to pick her up at the door." Sun Xinlu shook her head and said with a smirk, "We didn't see anything."

Chapter 138 Old-fashioned but Practical

Watching the two girlfriends leave, Cheng Mingming suddenly felt a whirlwind.

She turned around and looked at Zhang Da, and murmured, "It's over."

"What are you afraid of? It's a legitimate thing." Zhang Da hurriedly put his arms around her, "Why not? Let's do it again?"

Cheng Mingming gave him two fists angrily, and said with a blushing face:

"Wait, I'll turn the soup down to a low heat."

...

After 45 minutes, the four of them sat at a folding table temporarily set up in the open air.

The cake with candles has also been placed in the center of the table.

After lighting the candles, Zhang Da and the others sang a birthday song to Sun Xinlu:

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..."

"thanks, thanks!"

Sun Xinlu clasped her hands together to make a wish, and then blew out the candle in one breath.

Cheng Mingming and Liu Wenwen applauded happily, and Zhang Da naturally joined the group.

"Thank you." Sun Xinlu said happily, "Let's eat, and we'll cut the cake later."

Zhang Da asked: "Then should we put the cake back in the refrigerator?"

Sun Xinlu shook her head and said, "No need, just put it on the table."

Cheng Mingming started serving soup for the three of them:

"Let's drink the soup first."

Liu Wenwen took the soup: "Ming, thank you."

"Thank you." Sun Xinlu stood up and took the soup bowl, smelled it and said, "Wow, it smells so good!"

Cheng Mingming said, "Of course! I'm a good crafter, okay?"

Sun Xinlu immediately complained: "Really? Then why is the fried beef with onions mushy?"

"Actually, it's not mushy. This is the Maillard reaction." Zhang Da said while picking up a piece of beef, "It still tastes good."

Sun Xinlu smiled and said, "Wow~Ming, I envy you so much, someone can help you talk."

Cheng Ming understood her with a glance: "Hmph, you're so yin and yang, if you're really envious, why don't you find a boyfriend too?"

Sun Xinlu lamented deliberately: "Oh, I'm so sad, I'd better go to barbecue after drinking the soup."

Not far away, there was a "sizzling" sound from the barbecue grill from time to time.

On a small table next to the grill, there are various meat and vegetarian ingredients.

Zhang Da finished a bowl of soup very satisfied.

Cheng Mingming's craftsmanship is indeed quite good.

A bowl of clear and sweet broth, the ribs have been stewed to the bone, and the carrots are quite soft.

The corn in the soup remains crisp, tender and juicy

Even the corn stalks have been soaked with soup.

After drinking a bowl, Zhang Da resolutely filled another bowl.

Seeing Zhang Da's appetite, Cheng Mingming laughed contentedly.

Look at the smile on Cheng Mingming's face.

Sun Xinlu and Liu Wenwen looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

From the bottom of their hearts, the two were happy for Cheng Mingming.

After filling half a bowl of rice for himself, Cheng Mingming asked, "Lu, Wen, are you free for two and Saturday?"

Sun Xinlu was the first to respond: "I'm free, what's the matter?"

"I'm free too." Liu Wenwen swallowed the last mouthful of soup, "Wait, I want another bowl of soup."

Cheng Mingming said: "Zhang Da is going back to Jinling on Sunday, we would like to treat you to a farewell meal on Saturday night."

"Okay, then see you on Saturday!" Sun Xinlu nodded, "Do you have any arrangements during the day? If you don't have any arrangements, you can have dinner together at noon. I treat guests, and I will count them as Zhang Da's practice."

"We have no arrangements."

Cheng Mingming and Zhang Da looked at each other, shook their heads and said.

"Then it's settled, see you on Saturday morning." Sun Xinlu thought for a while and said, "Let's have dinner near Tsim Sha Tsui."

Cheng Mingming nodded and said, "Okay, then see you on Saturday morning."

"Ok, that's it." Sun Xinlu walked to the grill, "Come and barbecue together!"

Now Cheng Mingming, who is full of confidence in his cooking skills, rolled up his sleeves:

"Let me go!"

Zhang Da held her back: "Don't, let me come, it's smoky."

Sun Xinlu looked up at the sky: "You really are showing off all the time."

...

After eating and drinking, Zhang Da hailed a car and prepared to return to the Peninsula Hotel.

Cheng Mingming waited for the car with him.
