The sun is shining brightly outside the window, and the heat wave is blowing.
"call……"
The fan blades of the indoor air conditioner swing up and down, constantly spraying out cold air.
Luo Song, who slept until noon, opened his eyes, rubbed his head, sat up, walked out of his bedroom with his slippers, and went to the bathroom to wash up.
Yesterday, after he took away two fighting practitioners from the bar and returned to the bureau, he and his seniors rushed out to deal with a group of drunken practitioners who used their powers indiscriminately. After everything was dealt with, it was almost dawn.
After washing up, he was thinking wildly and was about to call for takeout when the doorbell suddenly rang. Luo Song wondered who was ringing his doorbell. He got up from the sofa and went to the entrance to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, Luo Song saw his school girl Tao Bihong standing at the door, carrying many large and small bags of things, and she couldn't stand upright.
Luo Song quickly reached out to pick it up. She bought chicken wings, prawns, blueberries, etc., which were all Luo Song's favorite foods.
Tao Bihong came in and changed her shoes. A pair of slender feet were now fully exposed in front of Luo Song.
Today she was wearing a white T-shirt with cartoon patterns on it, and her long, soft black hair was tied up behind her head.
Tao Bihong seemed very happy today. As soon as she entered the door, she was ready to go to the kitchen to cook for Luo Song.
Luo Song put all the things she bought in the kitchen and asked with some confusion, "Tao Bihong, why did you remember to cook for me yourself today?"
"Senior, you have such a bad memory! Didn't I say last time that I would cook in person to let senior have a taste of my cooking?
I saw your post on Moments this morning and said that I had been busy all night and was resting at home today.
I thought about it and decided to take advantage of you, senior, to rest at home today and come over to do what I said before." Tao Bihong said with a smile.
Because he is usually very busy and is too lazy to cook when he gets home, Luo Song has become accustomed to ordering takeout at home. The kitchen utensils in his kitchen have not been touched for a long time.
Tao Bihong's complexion was very good, as rosy as if there were two April peach blossoms hanging on her face. Luo Song, who had a keen sense of smell, could smell a faint fragrance emanating from her body.
"Senior, I specially bought the ingredients that you told me before that you like to eat. Today I will let you experience the cooking skills I have practiced since childhood." Tao Bihong said to Luo Song confidently while putting on an apron for herself.
.
"Do you need my help?" Luo Song leaned against the kitchen door and asked with a smile.
"No, senior, just sit down and wait for me to cook the food." Tao Bihong said.
"Yes." Luo Song nodded and watched her take out a few fresh carrots from a bag, cut them into thin slices deftly, and put them into a delicate small bowl.
Then she turned around and went to beat the eggs again. She held the eggs with her thin white fingers and tapped them lightly beside the stove. She broke the eggshell into two halves, and the transparent egg white wrapped in the egg white slipped in.
In the bowl.
After beating the eggs, Tao Bihong turned around and took out a piece of pink pork, which was all lean meat.
Turn on the faucet.
"Wow..."
A stream of clear and transparent water flowed out, washing the meat cleanly, and after washing away all the blood foam, she picked up the kitchen knife and started shredding.
"Bang bang bang..."
After a while, a square piece of pork was cut into neat shreds of even length and moderate thickness. The shreds were put into the egg liquid and scratched.
"Senior, do you have starch at home?" Tao Bihong turned to Luo Song and asked.
"Yes." Luo Song walked into the kitchen and took out a small bag of starch from the cupboard.
Taking the starch handed over by Luo Song, Tao Bihong poured out an appropriate amount of starch, mixed it with some water, and added it together repeatedly.
While putting the meat aside to marinate, Tao Bihong seemed to suddenly remember something. She took out a fish from another bag. The internal organs seemed to have been cleaned. It should have been processed by the fish seller at the vegetable market.
!
She was very happy and said to Luo Song, "Senior, didn't you tell me last time that you like to eat fish the most? I went to buy you a fish today, and I will make you my best squirrel cinnamon later.
fish."
As he spoke, he did not stop working with his hands. He put the fish in a white ceramic basin and marinated it with some spices, soy sauce, vinegar, etc., then turned on the fire and added some tomato sauce and rock sugar to the pot.
, Luo Song understood clearly at this step that he was making sweet and sour sauce.
In Luo Song's heart, his mother's cooking skills are also excellent, and squirrel mandarin fish is one of her specialties.
When she was young, she always told Luo Song that eating more fish can nourish the brain of children, and she would try her best to cook various kinds of fish for Luo Song every now and then.
Among them, Luo Song's favorite is the sweet and sour, fragrant but not greasy squirrel mandarin fish. He didn't expect Tao Bihong to cook this dish, which really surprised Luo Song.
While talking, the water on one side was already boiling. Tao Bihong opened the lid of the pot again, put two large oysters in, waited for a while, and then put the lid back on the pot.
Suddenly, Luo Song's stomach growled. Luo Song hurriedly covered his stomach, and his face became red and hot, from the corners of his eyes to the roots of his ears.
Tao Bihong chuckled, "Senior, you must be hungry!"
"You haven't eaten anything since last night, how can you not be hungry?" Luo Song secretly cursed. Although he was thinking this, Luo Song still coughed a few times in embarrassment and nodded.
Luo Song is no longer a child, and now he looks a little embarrassed in front of Tao Bihong.
Tao Bihong quickly filtered the water from the soaked fungus from one side and placed it on the chopping board.
The kitchen knife fell together and quickly cut into thin strips. I used the same technique to cut the winter bamboo shoots and green peppers. For a while, the chopping board was neatly filled with brown, white, green, and bright red, like a beautiful dish.
rainbow.
After a few minutes, Tao Bihong turned on the gas stove and poured in clear oil. After the oil was slightly hot, she added the marinated shredded pork and egg liquid into the pot.
"Zi..."
After stir-frying for a few times, I added fungus, winter bamboo shoots, and green peppers and added several seasonings. After a while, a fragrant fish-flavored shredded pork was ready.
Tao Bihong was not idle. She started to prepare fish. The fish she bought today looked very fresh, and the fish scales were shaved very clean. Tao Bihong carefully took out a piece of ginger, cut it into thin strips, and put flowers on the fish.
Knife, put shredded ginger on it, pour a little bit of balsamic vinegar around it, and put it on the steamer together.
After a while, the tempting aroma of food was lingering in the small kitchen.
This wasn't the end yet. After finishing the staple food, Tao Bihong took out the blueberries she just bought, turned on the juicer Luo Song bought on a whim, rinsed the blueberries, put them into the juicer, and pressed the switch.
After a while, the box of blueberries just turned into fresh and delicious blueberry juice. It is said that eating more blueberries can improve your eyesight.
Tao Bihong had good intentions. She made so many delicious dishes and paid great attention to the nutritional balance of meat and vegetables. Luo Song was deeply moved.
…………
"I know, I know..."
"Rumble..."
The constant chirping of cicadas on the trees on both sides of the street was intertwined with the constant roar of cars on the road.
With the arrival of noon, the highest temperature of the day also arrives.
There are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road, and everyone consciously avoids walking outdoors at this time.
After the movie screening ended, Lin Fei and the other three came out of the cinema and went from the cool indoors to the outdoors. Facing the heat wave that hit their faces, the three of them were a little unbearable.
Under the scorching sunshine, fine beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead in a short while.
Wang Xiaoru took out a tissue from her bag, wiped her forehead and said.
"Yesterday I watched a video on my mobile phone. There was an anchor frying eggs on the street at noon. I thought it was a bit exaggerated. Now that I have experienced it personally, it is really not an exaggeration at all."
"Let's go! Find a restaurant to eat. I'm in urgent need of air conditioning now." Zhou Yue said, opening her sun umbrella.
"Do you have any other ideas for steak for lunch?" Lin Fei suggested.
"No." Wang Xiaoru said.
"I can do it." Zhou Yue said.
After deciding what to have for lunch, Lin Fei and the other three walked to a restaurant east of the cinema that they had gone to together.
"Lin Fei, the sun is so bright, come in!" Wang Xiaoru, who also held up a parasol, said to Lin Fei beside him.
"Let me hold the umbrella!" Lin Fei said, hiding under Wang Xiaoru's umbrella, and then he took the parasol from the other person's hand.
The three of them held two parasols, walked to the intersection of the street, turned right, and walked a few dozen meters further to the place where they were going to have lunch.
But at this moment, a thick plume of smoke rose from the back of the restaurant.
When they saw this black column of smoke rising straight into the sky, one word came to Lin Fei's mind at the same time - fire!
"You guys go to the restaurant and order your food first. I'll go over and take a look and I'll be right back." Lin Fei said to Zhou Yue and Wang Xiaoru.
"Yes." The two girls nodded, knowing that Lin Fei was powerful and they didn't say much.
…
The fire was a three-story restaurant located in an old residential area.
"Water, water, water, give me water quickly..."
The restaurant owner was crying and couldn't wait for the fire brigade to arrive, so he led his employees to put out the fire.
But the wind was so powerful that the water turned into smoke, and the tongues of fire spit out more than two meters away. Who dared to come forward?
The raging fire seemed to be going crazy, flying around with the wind, devouring everything without restraint. The red flame was like an arrogant painter, using the brush in his hand to paint everything black.
"It's over, it's over now. This is my hard work for more than ten years!" The restaurant owner looked at the wildly dancing fire dragon in front of him and let out a heart-rending wail. However, fire and water are merciless. No matter how pitiful you are, they will not have any
Moving.
As the wind rotated, it quickly became a sea of fire, and two-meter-long tongues of flame licked the nearby old houses, and then started to burn again.
"No, the fire is going to spread." The crowd of onlookers who were taking videos with their hands shouted when they saw this.
"Home, my home!" The affected house owner was dumbfounded.
"Boom."
Only a violent explosion was heard from the burning house, and messy objects flew all over the sky like hail and rain, instantly injuring more than a dozen passers-by who were watching and eating melons.
"ah……"
There were explosions and howls, and passers-by who were watching the melons crawled away from the fire scene, no longer daring to get too close to the fire scene.
After hearing the news, the staff of the residents' committee of the old community rushed over with the crowd. Seeing that there were many people who were not too serious about the fun, they immediately began to evacuate the crowd.
At the same time, they stepped forward and forcibly dragged the restaurant owner, who was sitting in front of the fire with tears streaming down his face, away from the scene...
"Woo, woo, woo..."
The sound of fire trucks carried along the wind to the fire scene.
"The fire truck is here and the fire can be put out now," said a melon-eating passerby.
"Tap tap tap..."
There was a rush of footsteps, and several firefighters in firefighting uniforms rushed to the scene with fire extinguishers in their hands.
When everyone saw the fire extinguishers held by these firefighters, they felt confused. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that the fire extinguishers in their hands alone could not extinguish the raging fire in front of them. However, everyone soon cleared up their doubts.
"Who parked the car indiscriminately? The road in is blocked. Our fire truck can't drive in. Move the car quickly." The fire chief shouted to everyone.
The passers-by who were watching looked at each other, and then the voices of discussion broke out.
"Trouble, how wicked!"
"There's something wrong! There are so many parking spots around, why do you have to park randomly on the way in and out?"
No one left the scene to move the car. It seemed that those who parked randomly were not at the scene.
"Captain, the fire is too big and the fire extinguisher cannot suppress it," a firefighter reported.
"Damn it!" the firefighter captain cursed angrily.
Fire is a tongue that can devour everything. The place swept by this tongue is a ruin.
The raging flames expanded its claws unbridled, trying to cover all the places it used under its rule.
All the noisy sounds were distorted in the fire, and people's sense of terror and tension were infinitely amplified.
"Now we can only forcefully move the cars blocking the road so that the fire trucks can come in. I need everyone's help now," the fire captain shouted to the passers-by who were watching.
"Okay, let's go and help the firefighters move their cars." Everyone agreed.
Just as everyone left the fire scene in a grand manner and headed to the intersection to move their cars, a figure arrived at the scene.
Lin Fei glanced at the crowd of people leaving in a mighty manner, and felt a little confused. Then he fell from the sky, looked at the several houses in front of him that were ravaged by fire, and immediately started sensing to see if anyone was trapped in the fire scene.
.
The staff of the Residential Committee who stayed at the scene to prevent anyone from approaching the fire scene turned around after seeing everyone leave and discovered that a young man had crossed them at some point.
"Hey, young man, what are you doing! Don't get too close to the fire. It's very dangerous. Get away quickly..." Before the leading staff member could finish his words, he was shocked by the scene that happened in front of him.
