To Lu Enxi's surprise, the refrigerator was filled with fresh ingredients and fruits, as if she had been living for a long time.
"You... come here often?"
Si Bo Nian said casually, "Nanny."
Lu Enxi was speechless, "Since there is no one to live in, it is a waste of time and money to hire people to do sanitation and buy food ingredients, only to have to throw them away when they expire. Isn't this a waste of national resources?"
In the past, Lu Enxi would not have thought this was a big deal. The life of a chaebol was all about having fun, and she had tasted the feeling of having no money, and she did not want to waste a meal or a drop.
Si Bo Nian leaned against the brand new side cabinet in the kitchen, crossed his arms, and sneered, "It's okay if you don't want to waste it. Use all your skills to cook everything inside."
Lu Enxi's head was pounding, "The only thing I can make is pancakes, it's not like you don't know that."
Si Bo Nian took out a cookbook from the wall cabinet and said, "I can't learn it."
Lu Enxi was holding a fresh cucumber with flowers in his hand and selectively ignored the recipe, "Aren't you hungry? It won't be long before I learn how to cook any of the dishes in it. I guess you will be very hungry already."
, my suggestion is to make do with it first.”
You can deal with the rest as you like. Anyway, I will leave after dinner.
Si Bo Nian was surprisingly easy to talk to, nodded and said, "Okay, let's get started, but we can't just eat pancakes tonight."
"oh."
Are you tired of eating this?
"Make another soup."
Lu Enxi's face turned green, "What kind of soup? I don't know how to make it."
"You don't know how to make tomato and egg soup either?"
Lu Enxi wanted to say forcefully that of course I would, but the fact was that she had never tried it before, "It's not good to say..."
Si Bo Nian rolled up his shirt sleeves helplessly, "Go and mix your batter."
Lu Enxi cleverly ran to collect the flour. After several practical operations, she became more and more proficient in the concentration of the batter and the addition of seasonings. She was almost sure of it. Soon she was standing by the stove holding a transparent glass basin and preparing to start the fire.
Then she turned around and saw Si Bo Nian chopping tomatoes, her eyes dumbfounded.
His right hand was not very strong yet, so he held the knife in his left hand and held it with his right hand, slicing it horizontally and dicing it lengthwise. Soon a ripe tomato turned into well-proportioned diced red flesh, which was pleasing to the eye when placed on a plate.
What surprised Lu Enxi even more was that Si Bo Nian was able to crack eggs with his left hand. He tapped lightly on the edge of the container, picked it up with his fingers, and the egg liquid slid into the bottom of the bowl.
The movement was smooth and elegant, comparable to a close-up shot in a documentary.
Si Bo Nian stirred the egg liquid and said without raising his head, "Are you excited?"
Lu Enxi turned her head hastily and turned on the range hood of the integrated stove. The thin sound of wind swirled around, swallowing up half of her voice, "You seem to be good at cooking."
Si Bo Nian said, "As long as you are not stupid, anyone can learn it."
Lu Enxi gritted his teeth, "Not necessarily, there are specialties in the art."
"I've never heard that housewives are required to have a special skill in cooking. Just admit it if you are slow to respond. Don't lower the standard of the entire female circle."
Lu Enxi was convinced, but refused to admit it. He started to heat up the oil, and finally found some confidence when putting in the batter, "Not everyone can make pancakes as good as me! Can you find someone to compare?"
Si Bo Nian raised his lips quickly, and a smile slid across his eyes, "Okay, I guess you have some special skills."
She was spreading pancakes on the stove on the left, and Si Boyian was cooking soup on the stove on the right. The two were very close, and they would touch each other's arms from time to time.
Lu Enxi moved aside, while Si Boyian let go of his movements to occupy all the vacated space.
In the end, Lu Enxi couldn't give in anymore, so he held up a spatula and said, "Aren't you just frying tomatoes? Do you want to make such a big noise?"
Her face was a little red due to the heat, and the tip of her nose was slightly sweaty. In Si Boyian's opinion, her temper was rather coquettish.
He also held the spatula, half-smiling but not smiling, "You can do it? Then you come?"
Lu Enxi pursed her lips and said softly, "If you point that way, I will be squeezed out of the kitchen by you."
Si Bo Nian turned his head away, the corners of his mouth raised uncontrollably, moved his steps back to the original position, added water, and covered the pot, "Are you going to rely on this trick for the rest of your life?"
Lu Enxi was not good at cooking and did not dare to be careless. She kept staring at the pot for fear of burning the bottom of the pot. "At least I haven't eaten enough yet."
"You might starve to death if you wait until you've had enough before learning new varieties."
Lu Enxi picked up the pot, turned it over, and was very satisfied with the golden color. "I'm not picky about food, so I can eat takeout."
Si Bo young man hummed.
The pancakes haven't been finished yet, the egg soup is out of the pan first.
Lu Enxi smelled a strong fragrance, and her stomach was more honest than her mouth, so she grunted a few times.
Si Boyian held the soup pot with hanging ears and said, "Have a good attitude and I can teach you."
Lu Enxi stiffly turned away, "I won't bother you."
Anyway, she has read the steps and should try it by herself next time. It doesn’t seem difficult at all.
A simple yet meaningful dinner is served.
Lu Enxi looked at the soup with chopped green onions and egg drops floating in the bowl, and suddenly felt that her pancakes were being outdone.
Si Bo Nian drank a sip of soup and then ate pancakes. The perfect pairing made both foods more interesting.
Lu Enxi had to admit that this was the best egg soup she had ever tasted. The ordinary ingredients produced an unexpected taste, "Are you good at cooking? I saw you chopping vegetables just now, and your left hand was also good at chopping.
."
Wouldn't it be better if you use your right hand?
Si Bo Nian was very impressed by her compliment, "You think I'm just like you, I only know how to cook dumplings and make pancakes."
Lu Enxi could not refute this matter, "Actually, I will do the same thing again."
She had learned to make fish cakes from Chen Juan before, and failed several times before making one. She happily wanted to give Si Boyian a taste, but he didn't go home that night. He finally came back the next day, but didn't even ask.
When asked, even the fish cakes and plates were thrown into the trash can.
After that, she never cooked again, and she never thought about cooking food for him again.
Si Boyian swallowed the food, "Really? What else do you want?"
Lu Enxi bit into the pancake and swallowed it bit by bit, "It's nothing."
After these words, the atmosphere at the dinner table became less harmonious. Lu Enxi was deliberately silent, while Si Baonian was thinking about how he could taste the fish cakes made by Lu Enxi himself.
After clearing the dishes, Lu Enxi wiped her hands, "I'll go back if there's nothing else."
Si Bo Nian sat on the sofa, turned on the TV, and randomly selected a channel, "How long are you going to keep those bottles and cans you bought?"
"You don't want to lose it, do you?"
"There is no one using it. If it is lost, it may be picked up and used to make coffee and tea. Isn't Lawyer Lu afraid of wasting national resources?"
Lu Enxi walked over in one step, guarding the shelves full of cups and saucers, "No, these are my favorite styles. I have never used them once, so I can't throw them away."
Si Bo Nian stared at the TV, "If you don't want to throw them away, let them work. There are materials in the drawer. Can't you make tea?"
