Until he returned to the community, Li Xingruo had not yet decided what kind of reward he wanted to give Lin Lu. He did not expect that he, who had always been neat and tidy, would actually get entangled in this kind of thing.
She took the elevator up to the 23rd floor and walked to the door of the two houses. Rooms 2303 and 2304 were really close to each other. She faced her rental house, so Lin Lu's home was on her right.
The door to his house is closed, and I don't know if he has returned.
Li Xingruo was about to take out his cell phone and send him a message to ask him, when he caught a glimpse of a note stuck in the crack of his rental door.
The little girl picked up the note curiously and looked at it. There were two messages written on it in very beautiful handwriting.
[I have already come back to cook. Sister Xingruo will send me a message when she comes back. After I take a shower, I will hold the rice cooker and go over to help. 】
Well, the message written on paper and the message posted on WeChat really give people a different look and feel. This literary and fresh style just hit the heart of the old sister.
After all, cooking is a kind of housework. As the giver, it is natural to hope to get the recognition and care of the enjoyer, especially before the relationship is close enough, otherwise the cooking will be done by one person, and the meal will be eaten by a group of people.
No one can bear the thought of having to pick and choose.
With Lin Lu being so attentive, Li Xingruo felt that he was full of energy. Now all he could think about was how to make delicious food for him tonight and feed such a considerate brother well.
While she was still dealing with the side dishes, the doorbell rang. The little girl hurriedly washed her hands, dried them on her apron, and quickly walked over to open the door.
After taking a shower, Lin Lu looked clean and refreshing. It was obviously impossible to smell him from this distance, but Li Xingruo always felt as if he could smell the fresh fragrance of shower gel and shampoo on his body.
"It's time to eat, it's time to eat~"
"Stir-fried meat with cucumber, stir-fried squid with celery, and seaweed soup."
Being photographed was a recognition of the person's cooking skills. The little girl took off her apron and curiously came over to look at Lin Lu's cell phone.
"Xiaoman and I both like to eat squid!"
Li Xingruo's eyes lit up and he said hurriedly: "Then please send me the photos you took. I think the photos you took are much better than the ones I took..."
Lin Lu forwarded the photo to her, and when she was about to forward it to the family group of the "Auspicious Three Treasures", she suddenly stopped the car and found that there were two bowls and two pairs of chopsticks in the photo.
For Li Xingruo, handling ingredients for cooking is not a troublesome task. Instead, it is a rare leisure time in his day and a very effective way to relieve stress.
The little girl was in a good mood. She hummed a song softly, closed the door and entered the house, turned on the lights in the house, put the canvas bag aside first, picked up a pair of cotton slippers from the shoe cabinet in the entrance and put them on, kicking with a cheerful pace.
While walking, I gathered my loose hair into a ponytail, opened the balcony door to change the air in the room that had been stuffy all day, and then started busy with today's dinner.
First time, second time, familiarity, third time, fourth time, they were friends. Lin Lu put the rice cooker on the dining table, untied the schoolbag on his shoulder and threw it on the sofa. He didn't need Li Xingruo to greet him, he just took the cup he had been drinking from for the past two days and poured it out.
Order some water, then go into the kitchen to watch Li Xingruo cooking.
She still couldn't help but chuckle: "Lin Lu, you look so funny holding the rice cooker!"
There is a TV in the living room of Li Xingruo's rented apartment. Watching some videos while eating is a necessary operation for contemporary young people to prepare meals. Sometimes, choosing a video to eat is even more difficult than choosing which takeaway restaurant to order.
many.
"Our school is now too!"
The squid is dry. She soaked it in water before going out in the morning. It is just right for use now. Before cutting, she must first tear off the inner tendons and outer skin of the squid, then place it belly down on the cutting board and use a diagonal knife for forty seconds.
Cut the cutter evenly at five degrees. Finally, cut the cuttered squid into pieces and continue soaking them in cold water. This way, when fried, the squid will roll up and form a beautiful shape.
Li Xingruo brought out the dishes from the kitchen, and Lin Lu helped to serve the rice. The two of them had two dishes and one soup, which was not very rich, but just enough to satisfy them.
When two people eat, they have more choices than when eating alone, and they are not tiring either. There is fried meat with cucumber, stir-fried squid with celery, and seaweed and egg drop soup, which is homely and nutritious.
"It seems that high schools all over the world are the same."
Lin Lu moved his nose and praised: "It smells so good! Sister Xingruo, when will I be able to have this skill?"
After posting the photo, I quickly received messages from the group.
"Sister Xingruo, don't you send a photo to your mother? Let her know that you eat so nutritiously and healthily. She will definitely feel relieved."
"It's so hot, so hot! Sister Xingruo, get out of the way and let me in."
After thinking for a while, Xiaoman rubbed Li Xingruo's calf again, so there was a new servant.
But the clever girl only needs to crop the photo and cut off the dishes and chopsticks at the edge.
"...Then I'll just find a wife who can cook."
"It seems that all mothers in the world are the same. How is Sister Xingruo going to work today?"
He was wearing a school uniform, carrying a schoolbag on his shoulders, and holding a white rice cooker in his hands. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Li Xingruo would never have imagined that such a combination of elements would not feel inconsistent at all?
As Lin Lu spoke, he picked up a piece of cucumber cut by Li Xingruo and put it into his mouth. In fact, cucumber tastes really good when eaten raw. It's okay to turn it into a tool, but why didn't it turn into a fruit?
Seeing him eating cucumber secretly, Li Xingruo patted the back of his hand angrily: "The meat has just been cut on the chopping board! Be careful and you may have diarrhea!"
"Be prepared for a rainy day."
"Sister Xingruo, what are you going to eat tonight?" Lin Lu rubbed his hands like a fly in anticipation.
Flowers are fragrant: "[thumb][thumb]"
"The rice cooker is ready~!"
The little fat cat sneaked in through the crack of the door first and rubbed its fluffy body against the wall of her house, leaving the kitten smell behind. This was considered its new territory.
Lin Lu squinted his eyes and smiled: "Sister Xingruo, why do you talk like my mother?"
While chatting with him, Li Xingruo heated up the pot. After the pot was hot, he poured oil into the pot and sauteed the ginger, onion and garlic until fragrant. Then he put in the squid with a modified knife. The squid rolled up when heated, and the spatula and the iron pot collided with each other.
There was a clang and a strong fragrance wafted in the kitchen.
"It seems that you have learned idioms well."
"This is what happened in the senior year of high school. We used to only have half a day off on Sunday every week in the senior year of high school, and we only had one day off after the monthly exams."
"Meow."
"Well, I started learning to cook in junior high school. It's been almost ten years now, what do you think?"
I also know that the first to get the moon is the one closest to the water!
"I'm coming."
Lin Lu did not turn on the TV, but took out an iPad from his schoolbag, selected a popular Chinese comic, pressed pause at the beginning, then propped up the iPad and placed it on the dining table.
"good idea!"
Li Xingruo smiled and put the note away. As he opened the door, he took out his mobile phone and replied to Lin Lu: "I'm back. There's nothing to do. Just wait until I finish cooking and call you over~"
"Come in, come in..."
This is not fun! The old mother’s eyes are very sharp! She is so old that she still can’t recognize fake money. Her mother can tell which one is real and which one is fake by touching it with her eyes closed.
"What did you take pictures of..."
Lin Lu didn't reply, and she didn't mind. He was probably taking a shower.
"Because my mother used to say the same thing about me when I ate secretly."
He took his mobile phone and found an angle to take a picture of the meal. He didn't send it out, so he kept it in his photo album.
But Lin Lu didn't say this. He helped wash the dishes and took them out of the kitchen, and then cleared the dining table.
"You're only eighteen years old, and you're already thinking about finding a wife? You're not even old enough to get a certificate, so you should spend more time reading~!"
"It's good. I'll have another day off tomorrow~~"
"A double break! It's been a long time since I experienced what it feels like to have a double break!"
Flowers from the Fragrance: "[Voice 9 seconds]"
While listening to the praise in his mother's voice, Li Xingruo pulled out the chair across the road and sat down.
Lin Lu took her bowl and chopsticks to the position on his right.
"Sister Xingruo, please sit over here. There is an iPad there, so we can sit together and watch videos together!"
