Chapter 80 Stewed Beef Brisket with Tomatoes and Potatoes
Lu Mansion.
Lu Xu stayed in Lu Yao's room until very late. This may be because since Lu Yao was born, he and Lu Yao have never spoken so freely as today. This is a major breakthrough and change for Lu Xu
On the other hand, Lu Yao, although he didn't pay much attention to the sudden appearance of his father or even this family after time travel, but after such a long time, Lu Yao gradually integrated into this family.
And maybe today, he truly regards Lu Xu and Yan as his parents. Lu Yao knows in his heart that he will not be able to return to the original time and space for a while, but here, he can really risk his life to protect himself.
, those who are willing to sacrifice everything for themselves are the people in the Lu family.
The two talked very late and went to bed respectively. That night, Lu Yao slept soundly.
Unexpectedly, he slept until almost noon the next day. Lu Yao picked up his phone and looked at the time. It was already eleven o'clock. He thought that he would hold a party at his home in the evening. Although Emperor Zhao Zhen
He will not come to participate, but he will send people to observe. If the preparations are not done well, he will definitely be punished. Thinking of this, Lu Yao quickly put on his clothes and went to wash up. He opened the door, Lu Yao was still thinking
I have doubts. In the past, if I didn't get up at ten o'clock at the latest, my parents would ask Uncle Fu to wake me up. But what happened today?
With this doubtful mood, Lu Yao finished washing and tidying up and came to the hall.
At this time, the Lu Mansion cannot be said to be brand new, but all the furnishings and the placement of things have obviously entered a state of readiness. This makes Lu Yao feel a little relieved. It seems that from yesterday to today,
, the servants at home have also been busy, and among them, Lu Xu and Lu Hao must have been keeping an eye on the work.
"Get up." Lu Yao was looking around when he heard Lu Xu's voice coming from behind.
I saw my father walking into the hall, scratching his head.
"Look at how this is arranged. The chair in the middle is prepared for people sent by the royal family. Then we can gather around the table in the middle to discuss. You and I will sit at the end.
The positions on the sides will be given to the three protagonists in the middle."
"Father, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?" Lu Yao was more concerned about his father's condition than the hall, which was almost in a state of chaos.
At this time, Lu Hao, who was organizing people to finish the finishing work in the front yard, also came to the hall and said: "It's not because I drank with you last night. Some of them drank too much and gave me a headache. My mother took care of me all night last night.
On the other hand, you seemed to have slept peacefully, and you just got up now."
Only then did Lu Yao realize that it turned out that Lu Xu had drunk too much. He also knew that it must be his parents who wanted him to sleep more peacefully, so they didn't let anyone wake him up. It was the Lu Mansion where they were going to have a party together.
Everything has been taken care of from top to bottom.
I originally thought that after his father Lu Xu's impassioned speech last night, he would return to his previous unhappy state today, but judging from the current situation, his father has indeed changed.
"You are well prepared, father. It seems that the party at night will be a success." Lu Yao said with a smile.
"That's good," Lu Xu waved his hand, then looked at Lu Hao and said, "Have you done what you told me to do?"
Lu Hao nodded repeatedly and said: "Of course, I got up early in the morning and went to Pan's house first. Boss Pan Yuanwu and young master Pan Wen haven't gotten up yet. Although they waited for a while, they finally agreed to my request.
"
Lu Xu smiled and expressed that he was very satisfied with the result.
Lu Xu, who had just woken up and was still confused, was a little confused and asked: "What's the matter? Brother, what are you doing in Pan's house?"
Lu Hao looked at Lu Yao and said, "It's not just for the evening party. My father knows that for this kind of party, there are usually a lot of meals to prepare, and these families are all people who like to taste delicious food. Pan
Needless to say, Fan Lou belongs to someone else, and the Han family is our future in-laws. As for uncle Cao Guo’s family, the last time he ate the food you cooked, the young master of the Cao family couldn’t walk, but considering
Although the matter to be discussed tonight is an entertainment competition, it is also something that the emperor supports. That is state affairs. State affairs are the top priority in everything. And you will naturally be exhausted from cooking such a large table of dishes by yourself.
How could we have time to discuss state affairs? So my father sent me to Pan's house very early and asked Boss Pan to lend Fan Lou's chef to our Lu family for one day. He would come over and take charge in the afternoon.
Meals for the evening so you don’t have to cook.”
Lu Hao's words awakened Lu Yao. He always felt that he had not thought about something less. Then he realized that it turned out to be the food problem of these three families. Indeed, at this kind of gathering, he would basically cook it himself.
, but Lu Xu invited Fan Lou’s chef over so that Lu Yao could take time off and not be so tired. Lu Xu’s approach filled Lu Yao’s heart with warmth.
Lu Xu touched his beard and said: "My father knows that you sold Fan Lou's secret recipe, so I thought that the food they cooked may not be as good as yours, but after all, it can satisfy the appetites of these three families."
, why do you say that they came to our Lu Mansion to gather together, the friendship between landlords, I will still think about these efforts for you. "
"Father, brother, thank you very much." Lu Yao thanked him from the bottom of his heart this time. Then he suddenly thought of something, so he asked: "Has the lunch meal started? You haven't had lunch yet.
Bar."
Lu Xu and Lu Hao looked at each other, and Lu Hao said: "I have just finished working since I got up, and I only ate one steamed bun this morning."
Lu Xu also waved his hands and said, "I'm getting older. I drank a little more yesterday. I woke up this morning with a bad headache, so I drank a bowl of porridge. Now that you put it like that, I'm really hungry."
Lu Yao immediately said: "If that's the case, I'll cook it myself now, and our family will have lunch in the backyard later, how about it?"
When Lu Xu heard this, his eyes immediately lit up and he said, "Don't you rarely make fires to cook lately?"
Lu Hao echoed from the side: "The people in the Brahma Tower are going to prepare a big meal tonight, so let's just have something simple for lunch today."
Lu Yao waved his hand and said: "Hey, what's so difficult about cooking a meal for your family? Besides, even Fan Lou's chef can't match my skills. I have a unique skill. Dad, go and call mom out."
, Brother, you also call sister-in-law, we will have dinner in less than an hour."
After saying that, Lu Yao walked towards his residence in a hurry.
Lu Xu and Lu Hao had not eaten the food cooked by Lu Yao for a few days, and the decoration at home was almost complete, so they went to call for help.
Lu Yao, feeling the love from his family, naturally wanted to repay the favor. He returned to the room, took out his inventory, a few tomatoes, and three potatoes, and then came to the kitchen.
Because he had to prepare for the party in the evening, the ingredients in the kitchen were quite sufficient, so Lu Yao chose a good piece of beef brisket.
"Let's make beef brisket stewed with tomatoes and potatoes. I don't know if my family can get used to this borscht."
With this thought in his mind, Lu Yao started to get busy.
About half an hour later, Lu Yao called Uncle Fu, and the two brought the dishes to the dining table in the backyard. At this time, Lu Hao, Lu Yao's sister-in-law, his father Lu Xu, and his mother Yan couldn't wait any longer.
The first few dishes are very familiar to everyone, and they are also the specialty dishes that Lu Yao often makes for his family. Although they look familiar, he hasn't eaten them for a few days, especially Lu Hao, who basically has no resistance to braised pork.
However, the last dish that Lu Yao brought out made everyone put down their chopsticks.
It was a big bowl, and it looked like it was a soup.
The soup was red, and Lu Xu recognized one of the ingredients in the soup at a glance. Wasn't it the same ingredient used in the dish that was cooked at home in the palace?
"Is this soup made with tomatoes?" Lu Xu looked at it and asked.
"Not bad," Lu Yao said, taking a few small bowls and serving a bowl of soup for everyone. "It uses the same ingredients as tomato scrambled eggs, and it is also my treasure. I think everyone in the family should have it."
Some special treatment.”
In fact, everyone in the Lu family has seen tomatoes as an ingredient, but they did not expect that this thing can also be used to make soup. Uncle Fu, who was sitting at the bottom table, also sat down after serving the dishes and said: "Second Young Master gave me a tomato that day.
, I thought at that time, this kind of food is juicy, so it would be a good choice to make soup."
"Uncle Fu still has a good sense." Lu Yao said with a smile.
Lu Hao looked at the soup in his bowl, observed it carefully, and said, "I know this beef brisket, and I've seen tomatoes too, but what kind of food is this yellow thing?"
Naturally, everyone looked at the other ingredient in the soup.
"This thing's scientific name is potato. Let's call it something more informal and just call it potato." Lu Yao said.
"This thing is made in pieces and looks quite hard. Can it be delicious?" Lu Yao's sister-in-law finally spoke up.
Lu Yao finished the last bowl of soup, sat down, took a sip, and said with an expression of great enjoyment: "Sister-in-law, it's okay. It does look lumpy, but it tastes very soft and waxy."
After speaking, Lu Yao picked up a piece of potato and chewed it in his mouth.
The familiar soft and waxy taste once again made Lu Yao wake up. He was indeed a time traveler.
The other people at the table were doubtful, but their mother, Yan, trusted Lu Yao very much, so she also picked up a piece of potato and put it in her mouth.
"This..." Yan took a few bites and felt that the deliciousness was beyond words. He had to say to Lu Xu next to him, "Master, these potatoes are too delicious."
Lu Xu also took a bite and said: "It is indeed delicious, and the potatoes have completely absorbed the flavor of the soup, including the sourness of tomatoes and the aroma of beef. It is really good."
"Haha, as long as Father likes it," Lu Yao said with a smile.
The family then started to eat. Lu Hao didn't eat a few pieces of braised pork, but drank three bowls of soup in a row. He had never tasted such delicious soup.
"The soup made from tomatoes is much better than scrambled eggs." Lu Hao said.
"The main thing is that the potatoes also add a lot of texture." My sister-in-law agreed from the side.
The family had a happy lunch.
"You didn't sell this tomato-related formula to Fan Lou, right?" Lu Xu asked.
Lu Yao shook his head repeatedly and said: "The ingredients are limited. If I sold them to them, I would probably have exhausted all the inventory in my hand."
"How many more tomatoes and potatoes are there?" the mother asked.
"Don't worry, I know it well. When spring comes, didn't I buy two empty vegetable plots before? I plan to plant tomatoes and potatoes, so that we don't have to worry about shortages in the future." Lu
Yao said.
"Yes, yes, when the time is right, we will sell the formula and ingredients to Fan Lou." Lu Hao came up with an idea.
"It makes sense." Lu Xu actually agreed.
Lu Yao sat there, looking at the scene of a large family getting along very harmoniously, and he felt very happy.
Sure enough, to capture a person's heart, you must first capture his stomach.
