Chinese food saves the world

When the group of "a family of four, Xiali is the stupidest" arrived near the home of the old Sherlock Holmes couple, the ingredients that Hollett put on the Blackbird reconnaissance plane before had been delivered in time by the staff arranged for her by Charles.

After all, it is already late at night in London, and it will be difficult to buy all the ingredients she needs, so it is better to buy them directly from Chinatown in Los Angeles.

But to be honest, Hollett couldn't help feeling aggrieved by this "jet aircraft miracle in human history" when she carried the ingredients onto the Blackbird a few hours ago.

And it's not just the Blackbird fighters who are overqualified, but also the two Mr. Holmes who were instructed by Heletty to pick up the food basket, "Please hurry up, I need to prepare four dishes and one soup. Mrs. Holmes must be baking a cake. I guess it's creamy red velvet."

The X-Men crew had already driven away, ready to spend a relaxing night out, this being London, the night is always full of surprises, and Hollis climbed on Orlos' arm and rang the doorbell.

The classic dark brown wooden door was quickly opened from the inside, and the old Sherlock Holmes couple looked at the four children with indescribable smiles on their faces.

It's just that the three younger Sherlock Holmes are obviously not the type who are used to being close to their parents. Only Heletty is like a little angel. Not only does she have a pleasant smile, but she also gave Mrs. Holmes a beautiful bouquet of champagne roses. Do you still have the ceramic vase I gave you last time? We can put it on the table tonight."

Mrs. Holmes smiled more and more, and welcomed Oluos and Heletty into the door, "Come and have a taste, the creamy red velvet cake is just out of the oven."

It was obvious that old Mrs. Holmes was all about the two girls. As for her sons, they were completely left behind by her. Mycroft and Sherlock were carrying the vegetable basket with the accustomed indifferent expressions on their faces.

Although the British diet is often questioned by other countries, their desserts are excellent. The red velvet cake baked by old Mrs. Holmes is even more delicious. However, apart from the cakes tonight, there is also a table of delicacies that Heletty needs to prepare as soon as possible.

In the warm and elegant Sherlock Holmes mansion, Oulos put champagne roses into the vase together with Mrs. Holmes, while Mycroft and his father discussed the daily performance of his younger siblings. As for Sherlock, he was helping Holmes in the kitchen .

In the early hours of tonight, Oulos' birthday will be ushered in. Hao Leti is preparing to cook a birthday meal. The four dishes and one soup are not very rich, but they are obviously not simple.

The soup does not need to take much time. Oulos just drank a small bowl of the old chicken soup with bamboo fungus and yam that the British government had been obsessed with after seeing the surveillance video of Sherringford.

It doesn't even need to be reheated, just pour the chicken broth from the thermos into the soup bowl when serving.

The most labor-intensive of the four dishes is the abalone known as the "Crown of Seafood". Heletty is going to braise it in soy sauce. She said to Sherlock, "Because the time is relatively tight, I have already used chicken and ham for the abalone in advance. Simmered with scallops for nearly five hours."

The abalone that has been fully flavored has been cut several times with cross knives, making it look more beautiful and delicious. Sherlock can't help but feel sorry for Britain when he sees the ruddy abalone that Heletty added to the soup and boiled again, and added various complex seasonings. Seafood -

They all live in the sea. This stewed abalone is really complicated to make, and now it has a rich and delicious taste. Compared with the British fried fish steak, it is simply heaven and earth. I suddenly feel that the British are perfunctory. Cooking techniques I'm sorry for that fish.

Sherlock smelled the aroma of the room and drove the prawns back to the thread. He saw Hollett frying potato chips, "I don't want to eat French fries at all—"

Potato chips are ready to be cooked in Deyang's big dry pot. Hao Leti said to the little curly hair while taking out the golden fried potato chips, "Maybe you will fall in love with it tonight."

When Hao Leti cooks Deyang dry pot, she chooses to lighten the spiciness so that it stimulates the appetite and is suitable for spiciness, which can be easily accepted.

In the stone pot heated on the fire, the shrimp with the back and thread removed becomes oily and fragrant. The sliced ​​mushrooms and onions are heated to force out the natural plant aroma. The red pepper and green pepper are not only beautiful in color, but also bring a unique flavor. The ingredients are delicious.

And this dish is not much better than the fragrant shrimp meat. It is the fried potato chips with a single taste. It perfectly absorbs the aroma of all the ingredients in the pot. The simple and rich taste seems to be enchanted .

The taste of Deyang dry pot is strong and fragrant, while the steamed mandarin fish that Hao Leti is now cooking is the essence of freshness and deliciousness. At the banquet representing celebration, fish is always unbearable to give up. With the good fortune of "surplus", Heleti hoped that her Orlos could obtain this prosperity and surplus.

Sherlock was standing on the side peeling the shrimp, and when Heletty was handling the fish, he added slices of cooked ham, shiitake mushrooms, bamboo shoots, not to mention scallions and ginger, "-->>

The name of steamed fish sounds like it just needs to be steamed in a pot. "

Hao Leti prepared the seasoning sauce, and steamed the bowl of sauce with the sliced ​​mandarin fish on the back, so as to achieve the perfect effect of the fish meat being fragrant but not astringent, soft and delicious, "it will surprise you."

Sherlock has already peeled all the shrimps, "It's time to cook the last dish, the fat middle-aged man has already paced back and forth seven times at the kitchen door."

The British government with a teacup outside the kitchen door: ""

Hao Leti cut the celery diagonally, "Celery, cashew nuts and shrimp, Oulos has always liked."

This dish is refreshing and not difficult to make, but the heat is the key. It has a fresh and tender taste. The crescent-shaped cashew nuts themselves have a nutty aroma, which is rich and mellow, while the celery is moist and crisp. The plump shrimp with tender meat is delicious and fragrant during the rapid frying, which is endless aftertaste.

When the four dishes and one soup were brought to the table, several Sherlock Holmes sat around the table, and the creamy red velvet cake was decorated with beautiful cream flowers, but Oulos was certainly not the type who would like to light candles to make a wish. Although there was no candlelight for this birthday meal, But still full of blessings, because her relatives are all around.

In the Middle Ages, Europeans believed that on birthdays, the soul was most likely to be invaded by demons, and the blessings and cakes from relatives and friends could expel demons and bring luck. Oulos looked at Heleti, who frequently brought food for her, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth. Curved up a little bit——

Even if she is a demon who should be imprisoned in the fortress in the eyes of others, there will always be people who do not want to expel her, but give her blessings with love.

Although Holmes was usually a bit arrogant, they obviously cherished this moment today. Even Mycroft and Sherlock temporarily stopped their constant confrontation with each other and enjoyed this rare dinner.

And this four dishes and one soup, which consisted of Chinese food except the red velvet cake, once again made the family unable to help thinking about a century-old problem——

Obviously they are chips and fish, why can Heleti cook them so deliciously?Should British chefs apologize for the fish and potatoes?

Especially Sherlock, he was eating the potato chips in Deyang's dry pot, and couldn't help but put another one in his mouth. These potato chips are even more delicious than shrimp!Not scientific at all!

When the dinner was over, almost all the side dishes on the plate had been eaten, and Heletty clearly saw the belly of the British government bulging again.

The old Sherlock Holmes couple's energy declined as they grew older, and they were about to go back to their room to rest soon. Hollett looked at the clean table and suggested, "Play a few rounds of mahjong to get rid of your appetite."

Mahjong is probably one of China's most successful cultural exports. Not to mention Japan and South Korea, both of which belong to Asia, even Agatha Christie, known as the queen of detective novels, once recorded that as early as the last century in a small British village, It is very popular to play mahjong to relieve boredom, which shows its popularity.

Hearing Hollett's suggestion, Oulos and Sherlock of course agreed. As for McCoff's opinion, it usually has no deterrent effect when facing a few brats.

The mahjong tiles in Holmes’ house seemed to be quite old. While shuffling the tiles, Mycroft picked up a seven of a kind with a nostalgic look on his face, “Sherlock almost swallowed this tile when he was five months old. Makes me wonder how anyone can be so brainless."

The consulting detective has already started counting the tiles. He doesn't seem to be irritated at all, and his tone is cold, "If it were you, I would probably be able to successfully swallow the entire set of mahjong tiles. After all, you were as fat as a blown dinosaur back then."

Hao Leti didn't intend to join the fight between the two of you at all. She saw a "Dongfeng" card when she was counting cards, so she said to her Miss Dongfeng with great interest, "Look, your name can be written in Chinese. It's really beautiful."

Oulos leaned over and patted her head, earnestly admonishing, "Holly, you should stay away from the two of them, stupidity may be contagious."

The two Mr. Holmes temporarily stopped attacking each other and began to roll the dice to play cards. This set of mahjong in the hands of these four geniuses is more than a match of wits and courage. She also exchanged glances with Sherlock from time to time, like a fish in water, and frequently gave cards to her Miss Dongfeng, and the unlucky one who lost the most was of course the humanoid British government.

When he was intercepted again, McCoff finally couldn't hold back and patted the table, "Heletty, do you still have some basic gaming ethics?"

Before Hollett could answer, Oulos and Sherlock had already stared at him——

"It's obvious that you are unlucky and you blame others?"

"Senior British government officials can't afford to lose in mahjong?"

Hollett looked at McCoff and sighed helplessly, "Mike, there is no end to learning Mahjong, you can't be so irritable just because you lose money."

The British government wanted to beat people after hearing this.
