Chapter 13 Cooking
After coming out of Yuehua, Lin Qi did not go home immediately. Instead, he went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables.
Liu Zhuping had something to do at work today at noon, so she couldn't go home and cook for them.
Originally, according to Lao Lin's style, he would just go downstairs and deal with a few people and then be done with it. But when Ms. Liu was talking about this last night, Lin Qi unexpectedly took the initiative to ask Ying to arrange it, and even took care of it.
I also took over the dinner chores.
When Ms. Liu first heard Lynch's suggestion, she suspected that her ears were broken. Then her mind was filled with doubts and disbelief. When did the brat learn to cook? How come she didn't know at all.
But in the end she was moved by Lynch's firm and confident gaze, and decided to give it a try and let him have a try.
In Ms. Liu's opinion, just the fact that her son is willing to cook for his parents is already comforting to her.
But at the same time, she also secretly continued to build herself up mentally. At most, it would just make her feel upset. Nothing was more important than her son's filial piety.
After arriving at the vegetable market, Lynch walked around in a circle first with great experience, took a rough look and had an idea in his mind, and then started to purchase ingredients with ease.
He acted very skillfully throughout the entire purchasing process, and was very comfortable in selecting the ingredients or instructing the vendors on how to handle them.
There were some vendors who saw that he was young and unfamiliar, and wanted to cut corners to save trouble or cheat him. He easily saw through this, and he only used a few words to reveal that these vendors knew that this young man was not a rookie. In the end,
Had to compensate by discounting.
Lynch, the old family has a husband.
Yes, cooking by yourself may be the only new thing that Lynch is interested in and willing to devote time and energy to after turning 30, apart from the hobbies that he has developed since childhood, such as gaming, animation and watching TV series.
matter.
The final route for many food lovers is to do it themselves.
After all, only you know your most unique tastes and needs best.
Of course, the core reason why Lynch cooks is because Zhang Xiaoxiao, a housewife, cannot cook.
…
Lynch finally arranged for the fast-food beef fried kway teow and lettuce beef ball soup as lunch for him and Lin Guodong.
In addition, tonight’s dinner is prepared with pork ribs and corn soup, steamed sea bass, braised chicken legs with clams, and stir-fried vegetables.
It was already 11:40 when Lin Qi returned home after buying groceries. Old Lin had already finished the morning's capital fight and was sitting on the sofa watching the financial news. When he saw Lin Qi coming back carrying large and small bags,
At this time, I still couldn't help but ask.
"Xiao Qi, are you really okay? How about we go downstairs and have something to eat?"
Lao Lin was not worried that the food Lynch cooked was not delicious. Like Ms. Liu, he was also gratified from the bottom of his heart for his son's filial piety, and it didn't matter if it tasted bad.
He was mainly worried that his son would accidentally blow up the kitchen.
One time before, Liu Zhuping was not at home, and he was too lazy to go downstairs, so he just wanted to cook some egg noodles. As a result, he could overcook such a simple thing and even burned the pot by the way.
Lao Lin's self-knowledge combined with Liu Zhuping's actually quite ordinary cooking skills, he did not dare to have any hope in his son's cooking genes.
"It's okay, you can eat it soon."
Lin Qi was naturally aware of Lao Lin's worries, but he didn't bother to explain that there was no such thing as bombing the kitchen.
It's time to show off a real wave of technology.
Then Lynch dove into the kitchen.
Over there, Lin Guodong, after confirming Lin Qi's determination not to hit the south wall and not look back, sighed helplessly, and then silently followed Lin Qi to the outside of the kitchen to stand by, ready to take action at any time to clean up the mess.
But the scene he saw next really left him speechless.
I saw Lynch methodically marinating the beef that had been cut by the vendor with seasonings, then using the marinating time to sort out the ingredients that were not needed temporarily, and then started washing and chopping vegetables.
, the operation idea of the whole process is very clear and organized, and the most important thing is that his cutting technique and knife skills are obviously very smooth.
Lao Lin, who found that things seemed to be very different from what he had imagined, stood beside him and felt a little distracted for a moment.
Lynch quickly prepared all the ingredients, and then he started working on the two burners at the same time, cooking soup on one side and heating oil on the other.
Lao Lin watched in amazement as Lin Qi put the marinated beef into the pan, greased it and quickly took it out, and then continued to fry the kway teow. The whole process, whether it was stir-frying or spooning, was done smoothly and in one go.
.
Damn it, can Xiaoqi be at this level?
After all, he had been a boss and had seen the world. Even if he didn't know how to cook, Lao Lin could still easily tell that just from the skill level of these skills, Lin Qi was much better than his own mother.
When he thought of this, Lao Lin was completely relieved. The kitchen should be safe now.
After a while, Lynch had finished the work and started loading it on the plate.
The aroma instantly filled the kitchen, and Lao Lin hurriedly stepped forward to help serve the dishes. He looked at the two beef fried rice noodles in his hands with complicated emotions. Just by looking at the appearance, he was already the same as those who opened a shop and did business outside.
The color, aroma and taste are all good, and the taste is definitely not bad.
"Your mother will definitely be surprised tonight." Lao Lin finally couldn't help but praise.
"Eat it while it's hot. The taste will be worse when it's cold." Lin Qi thought that there would probably be many things that surprise you in the future.
After watching Lin Qi's fancy operations, Lao Lin was already ready to take action. He hurriedly took a bite and tasted it.
Hiss~~~
...Although it is a bit hot on the mouth, it tastes really good.
"Where did you learn this?"
"There are many recipes on the Internet. You can learn it just by looking at it. How about it? Does it taste good?"
"It's not bad. It's no worse than those who go out to do business."
Middle-aged people always have a bad habit of talking nonsense when they open their mouths. Originally, Lynch just said it casually.
But I don’t know whether Lin Guodong really doesn’t understand or doesn’t care at all. Regarding Lin Qi’s statement that he learned to cook just by looking at the recipes, he accepted it without any reaction, which made all the reasons that Lin Qi had originally thought of disappear.
Of no use.
"By the way, did you go for the interview this morning? How was the result?" Lin Guodong also needs to show concern for his son in a timely manner, although he has no control over this matter at all.
"It's okay, I'll wait for notification, but I think it should be possible."
"What does the company do?"
"Futures Company."
Lin Guodong, who has been doing stocks for many years, naturally knew what the futures company was doing when he heard it. He was somewhat surprised and worried about this.
"Actually, what your mother means is that she hopes you can go to work at your Uncle Wang's place."
"It's better to say goodbye. You've already retired. It's good for you old friends to interact with each other normally. There's no need to waste these unnecessary favors on me. Anyway, it's not a job to work anywhere, and there's no point in being raised by Uncle Wang.
Our family is not short of my salary."
Seeing the way Lao Lin hesitated to speak, Lin Qi seemed to have thought of something and immediately added another sentence.
"Uncle Wang is a good person and treats me well, but his daughter is really not suitable for me. Besides, I already have a girlfriend. I still want to work in a futures company for a while."
Uncle Wang had a business relationship with Lao Lin in the past, and he and Lao Lin got along well in private, so the two families were very close.
Before Lao Lin's company went out on the street, he helped Uncle Wang a lot. After the attack, Uncle Wang also wanted to help Old Lin make a comeback. However, Old Lin was depressed and unable to recover, so he gave up on his own, and finally gave up.
Uncle Wang's family has an only daughter who is similar in age to Lin Qi. The two families have always intended to match the two of them. However, at that time, Lin Qi and her were seriously incompatible. Let alone getting along, they couldn't even guarantee whether they could talk properly when they met. So
Lynch has always kept a respectful distance from her.
"Well, you are still young and you should have your own life. It would be good to go out and try your best."
Lao Lin smiled bitterly and shook his head. He knew very well that his son's temperament followed his mother's. Even though he was usually introverted and taciturn, he was actually a very independent person at heart. A failure in life like himself was just a humble mouthpiece.
Lin Qi suddenly felt that the air fell into a strange silence, and all that could be heard was the emotionless sound of chewing. Lin Qi looked up at Lao Lin and found that his expression had become sad and depressed.
I'm in trouble, Lao Lin, don't overthink it!
I just want to make a lot of money and then lie back and enjoy life, play games every day to make money, touch my wife, watch TV shows, and cook with delicacies from the mountains and seas. That's all. This is what I want.
In life, I am not as positive as you think, why are you still in emo?
