Holding the coffee that Ye Jin made for him, Qin Xi sat on a high stool in front of the console, watching Ye Jin pick out the ingredients in the refrigerator, suddenly a flash of inspiration came to his mind, "Chef Ye. "

"Huh?" Ye Jin turned his head.

"Can I order food?"

Ye Jin turned around and clasped Towel King's wrist: "I don't know what the guest officer wants to eat?"

"Well, let's make shortbread"

"Oh? Do you like shortbread?" Ye Jin narrowed his eyes and smiled.

"That's not true. In the past two days, someone gave me a box of shortbread claimed to be made by the imperial chef. I want to make a comparison."

Ye Jin was silent.After a while, "...how did you know that I can make shortbread."

"You won't? None of this..."

"Yes." Ye Jin answered firmly.

Tan Xi closed her mouth resentfully, and swallowed the ridicule she had prepared.As for the western chef who agreed, how can he still make Chinese pastries?

"However, what kind of stuffing do you want to eat, I have to see if there is any filling."

Tan Xi waved her hand impatiently: "Forget it, I don't want to eat it anymore, you can do whatever you want."

Ye Jin smiled, and took out something from the freezer, "Is the tomato edible?"

Tan Xi glanced at him from a distance, but didn't see clearly what was in his hand, so she hummed perfunctorily.

Suddenly realized that it was past ten o'clock, but there were still only the two of them in the back kitchen, and there seemed to be no voice in the restaurant lobby, so Tan Xi asked strangely, "Aren't you open today?"

Ye Jin: "Ah, is that so?"

"Otherwise, you are the only chef in the back kitchen, and there is no ghost in the lobby outside." Tan Xi looked out through the vegetable outlet.

"Maybe they all overslept."

Qin Xi: ...

The ingredients for desserts are all ready-made, and the process is not complicated, but the most time-consuming part is the plate arrangement.

When Tan Xifu saw this dessert, he thought he had walked into a Pizza Hut, and just wanted to criticize Ye Jin for fooling him with ice cream, but suddenly realized that the soft and loose texture in the middle was not ice cream.

The milky white hemispherical cream is surrounded by bright red tomatoes like stars and the moon, and the ice leaves are dotted beside it, which enriches the color of the dish.The delicate lavender flowers are worthy of being attached to the top of the hemisphere. This bold color combination is not obtrusive, but makes the whole dessert look unique and strong.

"This is...cheese?" Tan Xi looked up at Ye Jin.

"Organic tomato with burrata cheese." Ye Jin handed the fork to Qin Xi, "The tomato is very fresh."

Tan Xi took the fork, "It looks pretty good." After smelling it closely, she mercilessly mashed the delicate plate into a paste with the fork.

The moment the cheese was destroyed, Ye Jin covered his eyes with his hands: "It's too cruel, why don't you appreciate such a beautiful work of art for a while?"

Tan Xi scooped up a small tomato bathed in cheese, and said coldly, "How can you eat it without stirring it?"

The small tomatoes are plump and firm, and the rich juice bursts in the mouth with one bite.

After Tan Xi ate one, he immediately took another.

The cherry tomatoes themselves have limited sweetness and a bland taste.But when paired with cheese, the tangy sweetness of the burrata inspires the freshness of the tomatoes, making the whole pairing full of flavor.

Tan Xi didn't like to talk when eating, so he just ate fork by fork.

Ye Jin also didn't say a word, put his hands on the desk and looked at him patiently.

It took about 10 minutes for Tan Xi to finish a plate of food.

"how is the taste?"

"It's okay." Tan Xi put the fork on the edge of the plate.

"I don't seem to be satisfied," Ye Jin twirled the only purple flower left on the plate with his thumb and forefinger, "How can you still eat it so clean?"

"Uh..." Tan Xi covered her mouth and hiccupped, "That's a small amount, I ate it before I tasted it."

Tan Xi felt annoyed that she didn't keep her mouth shut.

I eat cheese on weekdays, and I get tired of eating just a few bites, but today it is served with tomato, which is a good reliever. Unexpectedly, it tastes so good that it makes people want to stop.

"Do you feel that your lips and teeth are fragrant, and there is a special aftertaste?"

Qin Xi pursed her lips.It really is.

Seeing that he was silent, Ye Jin continued to ask: "Do you know what seasoning ingredients are in this dish?"

"Brata cheese, tomato and ice leaves."

"No." Ye Jin shook his head.

"What's wrong?"

"There is another ingredient."

Tan Xi desperately recalled, as if there was something else.

After a long while: "It's black truffle?" Tan Xi recalled a small amount of black crumbs on the cheese,

"Yes, but not entirely."

Ye Jin seemed to still want to show off, but seeing the impatient expression on Tan Xi's face, he stopped showing off, "Mixed with black truffle and minced lamb."

"...Impossible," Tan Xi said firmly, "This dish has no meaty taste at all."

"This mutton is marinated with special ingredients, so it has no meaty smell, and only retains its delicious flavor." Ye Jin was proud, "Otherwise, how could it be so delicious if it was just ordinary cheese and tomato? impact."

Qin Xi's eyebrows gradually knit together.

"What do you think..." Ye Jin started talking, but Tan Xi turned her head and walked away quickly without saying a word.

"Where are you going?"

Before Tan Xi got out of the back kitchen, she felt someone grab her wrist and turned her head to see Ye Jin.

Ye Jin's palms were rough and full of calluses. In addition to his great strength, Tan Xi's wrists were pinched a little painfully: "It's too far outside, there is a bathroom here."

"..." Tan Xi didn't care about anything at the moment, and didn't resist, letting Ye Jin drag her to the bathroom in the back kitchen.

After Tan Xi came out of the bathroom, she saw Ye Jin sitting on the high chair he had been sitting on just now, rubbing his chin and looking at the leftover empty plate, wondering what he was thinking.

"Is there any water?" Tan Xi's voice was a little hoarse.

Ye Jin picked up the cup on his right and handed it to him in the air.

The water was warm, and Tan Xi drank most of the glass with her eyes closed.

"Did you do it on purpose?" Tan Xi's eyes were red, like a leopard cat about to bite.

Ye Jin didn't speak, as if he was acquiescing.

For a moment, the entire back kitchen was eerily quiet.

Qin Xi and Ye Jin were separated by the console, one was standing and the other was sitting, there was a feeling of confrontation.

Tan Xi is not an idiot, Ye Jin showed him the way and prepared warm water, apparently already expecting him to vomit.

"Anorexia nervosa, is this the problem?"

Qin Xi looked at Ye Jin.

For the first time in three years, the word was uttered in his presence by anyone other than his doctor.

"How do you know?" Tan Xi was so shocked that she calmed down.

When Tan Xi discovered the disease, Wei Zhiyan had already returned home.Tan Xi never told him, so it is impossible for Ye Jin to know through Wei Zhiyan.

"I guess." Ye Jin showed surprise, "Are you really anorexic?"

Looking at Tan Xi's expression of complete disbelief, Ye Jin explained: "I really guessed. I can't be sure about others, but I have no doubts about two things. First, the quality of the ingredients in the store. Second, My own cooking skills." Ye Jin raised his neck and looked at Tan Xi, "Therefore, if you vomit after eating our food, it is definitely your own fault."

Tan Xi put the empty cup on the table, "Since you have this confidence, what do you mean by asking me to try the dishes again, just to see what's wrong with me?"

Ye Jin shook his head.

He picked up the empty glass in front of Tan Xi, got up and poured another glass of boiled water.

"I heard from Wei Gou before that your dance troupe is highly competitive, not only in terms of skills but also in stature. Your illness must have fallen at that time."

A trace of haze flashed across Tan Xi's eyes, she pursed her lips, and remained silent.

Ye Jin put the water glass on the table in front of the high stool, but instead of sitting on the chair, he leaned to one side, "I don't understand, if this is the case, why do you want to do food and television?"

Tan Xi was also not polite to him, and sat down on the vacated chair very simply, "What does this have to do with you?"

"That said, how do you know that I'm not one of your thousands of fans?"

These words sounded like politeness on the surface, but Tan Xi sensed a bit of a threat, pretended to be confused, and replied, "I think you're more or less a gangster."

"Isn't a black fan also a fan?" Ye Jin smiled brightly.

Tan Xi finally lost the patience to go around in circles with him, "Tell me, what do you want? Money or fame?"

Ye Jin: "I want you."

"What did you say?" Tan Xi was startled.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I may have misunderstood you." Ye Jin rubbed his forehead, "I mean I want you to try the dishes for me, the long-term kind."

"I can't find anyone to try dishes, why should I?"

"Although the main reason for your illness is psychological, for example, if you ate that dessert just now, maybe if I didn't tell you that there was mutton in it, you wouldn't vomit."

Qin Xi was noncommittal, Ye Jin paused, "However, food can cure anorexia."

"Are you kidding me? You want to treat me?" Tan Xi seemed to have heard some big joke.

"No, you're thinking too much," Ye Jin flatly denied, "The subject of my doctoral thesis is related to this."

Qin Xi: "..."

"How about it, for you to try the dishes for me, what you pay is the cost of time, but there is an extra possibility of healing."

"No, besides time, my mood is also wasted."

Ye Jin took off the headband and stroked the broken hair on his forehead, "I think you are too dishonest. You clearly think that I am handsome and graceful. You are secretly happy when you see me, but you refuse to admit it."

Tan Xi narrowed her peach blossom eyes, and said in her heart: That's right, if you hadn't been cuckolded before, I might still be temporarily blinded by beauty.But now you are a stinky hooligan in my eyes, you dead mistress!

Ye Jin didn't hear Tan Xi's earnest call, but saw the other party staring at him affectionately with those big eyes full of electricity, and said softly, "You can rest assured that your illness If you need it, I will keep it secret about the food tasting."

Qin Xi: "Give me a day to think about it."

Ye Jin readily agreed.

When Tan Xi was about to leave, Ye Jin suddenly remembered something, "By the way, I have something to confess to you."

"What?" Tan Xi was tricked by him several times in a row, and his eyelids twitched reflexively.

You didn't eat lamb just now. "

"What did you say?"

"Actually, the cheese is sprinkled with some pure black truffle crumbs..."

"!!!"

"Hey, what are you looking for..." Ye Jin stood up and took a few steps back, "Put down the knife and talk about it if you have something to say."

The author has something to say: Tan Xi: Smelly rascal, go to hell!
