Xu Hongdou, who was still worried, came to Youfeng Xiaotuan, but couldn't resist Nana, so she had to describe the incident that made her melancholy from beginning to end.
"Hey, who says it's not the case? I feel a little embarrassed now thinking about it."
After Xu Hongdou took a sip of the drink, she put her hands on her chin. How could it be such a coincidence? It was really someone she had met in the hospital before.
Although it was just a matter of half a pack of tissues, when I thought that when we met again, the other person would recognize me at a glance, I felt that the other person was very strange these past two days.
Thinking about it makes me a little distressed.
At this time, Nana remembered something. She looked at Xu Hongdou with a smile on her face and said, "As expected, beauty is a curse. Who made you look so good-looking?"
That day, Xie Zhiyao brought Xu Hongdou to the tavern for the first time, which was also the day the pigeon came back.
Although Xie Zhiyao was dragged on a blind date by Xie Xiaochun after he arrived and could not take care of Xu Hongdou, Nana could see clearly that Xie Zhiyao's attention was not focused on Teacher Li during the blind date. During the chat,
He kept looking over at Xu Hongdou.
A person who was on a blind date always kept his eyes on Xu Hongdou.
What does this mean?
It shows that there is gossip!
Xu Hongdou, who was only focused on eating and entertaining the children at that time, did not notice that someone not far away was always looking sideways at her.
Even Xie Xiaochun, who was in charge of warming up the scene, noticed the clues.
"What does beauty mean? I didn't provoke him. Besides, he bought a lot of things in order to treat the pigeons to dinner today. Fortunately, the kitchen is big enough, otherwise it would probably be full." Xu Hongdou frowned.
said.
"So? He's really a chef?! Cooks Western food?" Nana asked, scratching her hair.
Xu Hongdou nodded and explained: "Actually, I wanted to talk about it that night. I heard from Pigeon that he stayed in France for a few years and specialized in cooking. I don't know about the others. It seems to be more specific, and Pigeon doesn't know anything about it.
clear."
"Specializes in French cuisine? Are we going to eat French food tonight too?" Nana looked at Xu Hongdou and asked.
"That's right, from what he said, it seems to be some kind of Prosperna vegetable chowder and red wine stewed chicken." Xu Hongdou said firmly.
"Prosevin vegetable chowder! Oh my god, I want to eat it so much!" Nana immediately became excited when she heard this familiar name: "You don't know, there is this dish in "Ratatouille". I saw it at the time
I’ve always wanted to try it!”
"Ratatouille?"
Xu Hongdou looked at Nana in confusion. What does mice have to do with cooking?
"When I get back, I'll find a really good cartoon for you, really!"
The most traditional Provence stew is a kind of 'leftover' in French families. At first, it was just some uneaten vegetables in the refrigerator, cut into cubes, and then boiled.
But later, with the release of "Ratatouille" in 2007, this dish became a household name, and its other presentation method was deeply loved by gourmets, so it gradually became widely circulated.
The actual dish shown in the movie is actually called Confit byaldi in France.
What Zhang Wentao is going to make tonight is this dish. Because he can't buy yellow zucchini and suitable substitute vegetables, he makes the four colors that should be red, purple, green and yellow appear together, and turns them into
It became three colors.
Another dish, chicken stewed in red wine, is a classic French dish like beef stewed in red wine. The troublesome thing about making it is that you need to make good chicken stock first.
The role of good stock in Western food is the same as the role of stock in Cantonese cuisine. But many people don't know that although this dish is called chicken stew, it actually requires pork belly.
Outside the kitchen of the small courtyard, Barley and Ma Ye, who were attracted by the aroma, were suffering. Pigeon understood their pain very well. It was clear that the delicious food was not far away, but he had to wait patiently.
Seeing the three of them impatiently smelling the strong fragrance floating in the air, Zhang Wentao brought three bowls of onion soup.
Onion soup with brandy and red wine, topped with French cheese.
After being heated in the oven, the top of the melted cheese is baked to an attractive golden color.
Pick it up with a fork and pull it into shreds, leaving some soup on the bottom.
It's soft in your mouth, not cloying, and has the unique sweetness of onions and wine.
After the three of them took a bite, they were immediately fascinated.
He didn't even have time to say anything, so he drank all the onions and soup underneath. When he finished eating, the pigeon didn't forget to lick the soup dripping on his fingers.
"Brother Wen Tao, your onion soup is really delicious."
"Yes, Brother Wen Tao, I didn't expect you to be a real chef. No wonder you dislike Nana's pancakes."
"Well, it's good. It's to my liking. I wonder if I can have another bowl."
Zhang Wentao shook his head and said with a smile: "If you are really hungry, you can go outside to fill your stomach now. You were not here in the afternoon, and Xu Hongdou helped me clean up for a long time, so I invited her
Let’s eat together tonight, just wait, we should be back soon.”
It was already past eight o'clock in the evening, and the moon began to rise. The streets outside seemed very quiet. Every household had had dinner. The elderly who had the habit of going to bed early were preparing to wash up and get into bed early to rest.
At this point, if you want to eat something, you can either make it yourself or go to the barbecue stall under the big tree.
"Sister Nana sent me a message, saying that Sister Hongdou went to find her. Sister Nana gets off work at 8:30. If she gets back in time, it will probably be 9 o'clock." Damai took out his phone, looked at the time, and touched it again.
He touched his empty belly.
"Then let's eat some fruit first. I just happened to bring it." Pigeon gave a suggestion and looked at Ma Ye and Damai.
Mr. Ma sighed, looked into the kitchen reluctantly, and said:
"Then... how about drinking tea?"
"You go ahead, I'll just keep an eye on you here." Zhang Wentao said with a smile.
"Let's go, let's go. We can't stay here. The longer we stay, the hungrier we will get." After Pigeon finished speaking, he gave Zhang Wentao a resentful look.
It seems that he is complaining that the other party has made an appointment with someone else.
Zhang Wentao's way of dealing with such a threatening look is to look at the other person quietly without speaking.
Pigeon, who was a little aggrieved and hungry, lowered his head under Zhang Wentao's keen gaze. After all, he was the person in charge of cooking and he was in a small courtyard.
In front of so many people, I have been occupying the kitchen since the afternoon, and it would really be unreasonable to treat myself alone.
Sometimes B&Bs are very simple, and sometimes they are very complicated. Everyone who has stayed there knows this. Pigeons who have been traveling on a budget for a while also know this.
She was just a little disappointed because she was not informed in advance and was not prepared.
