Chapter 21

At noon on Monday, An Huaixu heard his phone vibrate, and his heart beat faster.

Lu Linzhong sent a text message.Why is Lu Linzhong sending text messages?Could it be that she was asked to deliver food again?Or let her drive there to cook at noon?Do you read text messages or not?

If you read it, the other party's mobile phone will show that it has been read, and she cannot refuse Lu Linzhong's unreasonable request!

If you don't see it, it's fine if you don't see it.

But Lu Linzhong's legs and feet are inconvenient now, and he doesn't eat takeaway, anyway, Lu Linzhong's leg injury is also caused by her.It doesn't matter if you take a look, it's not too much concern, but fulfilling the obligation to take care of Lu Linzhong.

An Huaixu frowned and waited in earnest, opening the text message as if he was facing an enemy.

Lu Linzhong: I've already eaten lunch. In the evening, you go to the supermarket to buy something.

An Huaixu waited for Lu Linzhong's list, but the other party didn't move for a long time?I have to reply: what to buy?

Lu Linzhonghui: Why do we use such a primitive social method as texting in the age of intelligence?I was too lazy to type and took pictures.

An Huaixu smiled, too lazy to type?Why don't you bother to eat?

An Huaixu suddenly remembered what happened in Yuyuan, she transferred money to Lu Linzhong and quickly deleted the person, so now she has the cheek to add the deleted person back?

She drooped her head and leaned on the dining chair in the cafeteria, staring at the particularly eye-catching sentence "The other party has approved your request to add a friend" on the screen, and sighed, it was self-inflicted and embarrassing.

Lu Linzhong quickly sent a photo of the shopping list, and also attached a photo of a steak.

The thick beef juice wraps the steak, and the Maillard reaction on the surface is perfect, sprinkled with some freshly ground black peppercorns with a wild and spicy smell.

She had guessed that Lu Linzhong was someone who could cook, but she didn't expect that his cooking skills were amazing. She could already smell the aroma through the screen, and stared secretly at the picture for a long time, really wanting to eat this steak.

Lu Linzhong added a sentence to her: the taste is very good.

An Huaixu: "..."

Lu Linzhong attached another picture, which is a cut steak, the inside is evenly pink, and no juice flows out.

Then a message came: Do you want to eat?

An Huaixu looked at the photo and silently swallowed his saliva, mechanically chewed the work meal which paled in comparison, smiled coldly, and would never tell Lu Linzhong even if he wanted to eat it.

An Huaixu silently locked the screen of the phone, thinking about the steak, thinking about getting off work, and finally took out the phone and replied to Lu Linzhong with one word: Yes.

Can bend and stretch, why bother with delicious food? !

An Huaixu drove to the supermarket after work. There was a whole piece of grass-fed sirloin in the cold and fresh area, and there was a row of vacuum-packaged refrigerated products below. She picked a piece and put it in the shopping cart. Looking at the picture on the phone list, she muttered : "Mangosteen, note that it is produced in Vietnam. Millennium, lotus mist, note that it is produced in Hainan."

Lu Linzhong is picky about his food.

"Avocado?" An Huaixu glanced at the avocado in disgust, unexpectedly Lu Linzhong liked to eat avocado!

An Huaixu came out of the supermarket with a shopping bag full, and drove Lu Linzhong's car back to Lanting Villa. The gate of the courtyard was open, and Lu Linzhong was wearing a long autumn-colored dress and sitting quietly by the French windows , as if the sky is shining at night at this moment.

Looks good, looks good enough even without makeup.

An Huaixu looked at Lu Linzhong patronizingly, and almost drove the car up the steps, with embarrassment on his face, secretly hoping that Lu Linzhong didn't notice her embarrassing behavior, but when he looked up, he saw Lu Linzhong's peach blossom eyes full of ridicule.

Lu Linzhong closed the book in his hand and looked at her with interest: "The driving skills still need to be improved."

An Huaixu had a smile on his face, and seemed to accept Lu Linzhong's suggestion humbly.

If she wasn't distracted, how could she have such a bizarre and unreasonable operation? !In the past, apart from eating, drinking and having fun, her leisure daily life was just to have fun with those idle dandies on the racing track in the outskirts of Jincheng, and her driving skills were not bragging at all.

Lu Linzhong walked to An Huaixu's side, took the heavy shopping bag from An Huaixu's hand, and said softly, "Come here, I'll teach you how to make steak."

An Huaixu followed Lu Linzhong into the door, and neatly put the fresh ingredients in the shopping bag into the refrigerator.

Lu Linzhong picked out the ingredients to be used, and his eyes signaled An Huaixu to do it.

"I do it?" An Huaixu raised an eyebrow. Didn't Lu Linzhong teach her how to do it?Oral teaching?

"I don't really like to touch animal meat with my hands. You can learn faster with practice and theory."

An Huaixu frowned, washed his hands at the sink, and stared at the large piece of meat in front of him with a complicated expression, as tragic as a strong man cutting his wrist.

"Touch the surface temperature of the steak now."

An Huai followed suit, reaching out to touch the fresh-keeping bag containing the steak, it was cool.

"It's cool, then what?"

"Based on my experience over the years, it is better to control the temperature of refrigerated steak after rewarming, although rewarming or not has no direct relationship with the final frying effect."

An Huaixu: "..."

Lu Linzhong drank water as if nothing had happened, and An Huaixu couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart. Since there is no direct relationship, this step can be skipped completely, which is quite hypocritical.

"Cut open the bag with the steak in it."

An Huaixu took off the scissors from the magnetic knife holder, cut open the vacuum bag containing the steak along the sealing line, and there was still a red liquid similar to blood inside.An Huaixu sniffed, she also hated touching raw meat with her hands, it was still so bloody.

"Steak pays attention to 'juicy', which refers to these interstitial fluids."

"Interstitial fluid?" It was just a familiar term to her.

"Animal blood will coagulate without the use of anticoagulants. The red liquid is tissue fluid and myoglobin. The steak is still fresh, and the frozen steak will lose more water and will not be so tender. It’s juicy, the steak you picked today was not frozen during the time it was slaughtered and in your hands.”

An Huaixu's eyes were clear, and he could understand that Lu Linzhong was praising this steak for being a good choice.

She pulled out a piece of kitchen paper from the side, spread it out confidently, and winked at Lu Linzhong: "I will take the next step."

Lu Linzhong picked up the kettle that was put aside, poured a glass of cold white water into the glass, quietly watched An Huaixu's unfamiliar movements, the corners of his mouth curved into an extremely beautiful arc.

The kitchen paper soaked up the moisture on the surface of the steak. Lu Linzhong smiled and praised: "Nice job."

"I've heard people say before that the reason why the steak has an attractive color and aroma is because of the Maillard Reaction produced during the frying process." An Huaixu placed the processed steak in the middle of the cutting board. The back kitchen of Jincheng West Mansion learned it from a three-star chef who stole steak.

"Then do you know the most basic conditions of Maillard Reaction? If you do, I think you can handle it completely."

After An Huaixu finished this step, he stopped.She also casually watched how to fry a steak once. There are always countless failures between theory and practice. There is no need to waste such a good piece of meat to prove the truth.

Seeing that An Huaixu didn't speak, Lu Linzhong quickly said, "High temperature, if there is too much water on the surface of the steak, it will absorb a lot of heat, and at the same time it will reduce the temperature of the oil on the surface of the steak."

Lu Linzhong propped his elbows, leaning lazily on the bar, picking up a glass of water from time to time to drink from his elegant posture, and his elegant and confident conversation, An Huaixu felt a little bit of admiration from the bottom of his heart.

Lu Linzhong is the person she wants to be. He can do everything with ease and covers everything. If others don't understand, he can not only tell why, but also why.

More than twenty years have passed, and in the eyes of her parents, she is just a foolish playboy, who can always lose the chain at critical moments, and can always turn a good thing into an extremely bad situation, even if she has a chance to come back The remake may not be like Lu Linzhong.

An Huaixu was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't realize that Lu Linzhong had put down his cup, and stood at arm's length behind him, looking at her.

"Are you listening to me?"

Why is the sound so much closer than before?An Huaixu immediately replied: "Yes."

"You can season this steak now."

seasoning?In An Huaixu's cooking experience, which can be counted on one hand, every cooking is either without salt or salty.The reason why the pan-fried chicken breast last night was edible is that there is almost no salt in that dish.

"A good steak should keep its original beef flavor to the greatest extent, and don't try to marinate it, so salt and black pepper are enough."

An Huaixu saw the koshersalt on the white marble countertop in the kitchen, and thought that the salt with different grain sizes and even the degree of saltiness was different, and he was even more at a loss as to what to do.

Lu Linzhong walked over, wrapped his arms around An Huaixu's waist, and almost put her half in front of him.

"Sprinkle it like the road surface when it just snowed."

Lu Linzhong stretched out his hand to open the lid of the seasoning box. To An Huaixu's ears, the soft voice was as thin and soft as wings, teasing her nerves.An Huaixu saw his crimson ears in the mirror, and mechanically repeated Lu Linzhong's words, "Oh, the road just snowed..."

The mirror reflects the appearance of the two of them. Their heights are almost the same. The delicate chins and pink lips like rose petals of the people behind them are almost close to the ears of the people in front of them.

An Huaixu was surprised that he didn't reject the touch brought by Lu Linzhong's hand on his waist.Even Lu Linzhong's body temperature and breathing will give her unspeakable throbbing and sweetness, like a damp and cold cave illuminated by the warm spring sun, satisfied and joyful.

How could she be like this... She is about to become Lin Yusi's fiancée, or even his wife, their distance is too close, and their behavior is too ambiguous.

An Huaixu moved, and Lu Linzhong let go of his right hand propped on the table, and the gap between the two of them was wider than before.

Lu Linzhong put the lid on the seasoning bottle, screwed the seasoning bottle to the gap, and handed it to the person in front of him: "Take it."

An Huaixu took the bottle, and Lu Linzhong took her hand and dumped the seasoning bottle, and the salt grains fell on the red fresh meat.

Feeling the heat from Lu Linzhong's palm, An Huaixu's heart beat faster, like a deer bumping wildly, like the road just after snowfall, the red street was filled with cheerful and flustered emotions.

Lu Linzhong let go of her hand, and An Huaixu's hand stayed stiffly in the air for two seconds, not knowing whether to let it go or continue, the air was full of ambiguity soaked in spicy and stimulating.

"Salt and black peppercorns on both sides."

As the sun was setting, Lu Linzhong turned on the light in the kitchen. The cold room hadn't been this warm for a long time, and all the warmth seemed to be due to An Huaixu.

It's a really nice thing to have two people cooking together in the kitchen.

She thought, she likes this feeling, the fireworks in this world.
