Chapter 18 Crock Pot Beef

"Tutu, I was wrong!"

"Where did you go wrong?"

After hearing this question, which was comparable to a proposition, Li Tianze was almost frightened and broke into a cold sweat. Fortunately, this time Li Tianze really knew where he was wrong, otherwise...

"My mistake was that I shouldn't have pinched your face."

"Did you make a mistake here?"

Li Tianze:???

What else did I do besides pinch her face?

Li Tianze, who couldn't think of an answer, carefully said a very desperate answer:

"Shouldn't I interrupt you when you're uttering a *?"

Aitutu:???

After hearing Li Tianze's follow-up answer, Ai Tutu recalled the indescribable scenes she had imagined before, and Ai Tutu's little face turned into a dumpling face with anger.

"Go to hell you!"

After saying these words, Ai Tutu shook off Li Tianze and left without looking back. However, she was so angry that she didn't realize that the direction she was leaving was exactly the direction of Li Tianze's house.

Would Li Tianze be a person who knew that he was committing suicide but did not take any remedial measures after committing suicide?

Of course not, Li Tianze hurriedly chased after him and grabbed Ai Tutu's hand.

But Li Tianze obviously underestimated Ai Tutu's anger level at this moment. She threw away Li Tianze's hand in shame and continued walking forward.

At this moment, Li Tianze suddenly understood a sentence he had read before:

You looked very elegant when you tried to commit suicide, but you looked very embarrassed when you tried to make up for the losses after your death.

But...it's really exciting to jump repeatedly on the borderline of death!

Seeing that it was already difficult to eliminate Ai Tutu's anger, Li Tianze decided to come up with a trick.

"Wind rail, speed!"

Ai Tutu, who was walking in front, felt a strong wind coming from behind, and then felt someone hugging her waist from behind.

If it weren't for a familiar voice coming from behind at this moment, Ai Tutu would have used a self-defense weapon.

"Tutu, I know I was wrong. I won't tease you again next time. Can I make you a big meal and apologize?"

That’s it again!

Ai Tutu felt the warmth coming from behind, and thought bitterly, every time Li Tianze couldn't coax him, he would tempt himself with a big meal. I, Ai Tutu, the little princess of the Ai family in the south! I don't want it.

For face?

Thinking of this, Aitutu said firmly:

"No... not enough!"

"Are those two meals good?"

"Then what shall we eat?"

After hearing Ai Tutu's answer, Li Tianze smiled confidently, trying to calm Ai Tutu down. There is nothing more effective than a big meal cooked by himself. If one meal is not enough, then two meals.

After regaining her mood, Ai Tutu once again hugged Li Tianze's arm, and the two walked towards home together.

The two mages who were pretending to be passers-by and responsible for protecting Aitutu's daily safety looked at each other in shock after witnessing the whole process.

"Is this the third time the Li family member has hugged the young lady like this? Do you still want to record it?"

"Forget it, the Chief Military Officer is already used to it."

"If the situation continues like this, I'm afraid that the young lady will live directly in the Li family. Do you think that after the young lady graduates from high school, our General Military Department may have to prepare a dowry?"

"Don't say such nonsense. If the young master finds out, he will beat you to death."

...

Looking at Li Tianze who was busy in the kitchen and Ai Tutu milling around next to him, the housekeeper said that he was used to it.

The housekeeper still remembered that when he first told Li Wenru the news, Li Wenru was extremely happy.

Can Li Wenru be unhappy? His pig can finally grow cabbage. If he doesn't go out to grow cabbage, Li Wenru will doubt whether there is something wrong with his eldest son's orientation.

After getting the information about the cabbage brought back from his pig farm, Li Wenru waved his hand on the spot and directly told the housekeeper to treat Ai Tutu like a young mistress.

...

In the kitchen

"Li Tianze, what are you going to do?"

"Don't worry, you can just watch from the side. Is there anything unpalatable about the food I cook?"

At this moment, Li Tianze was extremely grateful to his grandfather who was the chef of the state banquet in his previous life.

What?

Didn’t Li Tianze’s former grandfather practice kung fu? Why is he now a state banquet chef?

Practicing martial arts is just a hobby for the old man, and cooking is his job.

Moreover, Li Tianze also heard from his grandfather that he relied on his good cooking skills to become a disciple of Li Shuwen and learn his spear skills.

Li Tianze is a foodie. In order to eat, he has learned 90% of his grandfather's cooking skills in just a few years. As for the remaining achievements, Li Tianze needs to slowly develop his own cooking skills.

Li Tianze decided to make a crockpot beef for Ai Tutu today.

Take the good beef belly, cut it into thumb-sized pieces, chop the onion, and cut the green garlic into diced water chestnuts.

While Li Tianze was busy chopping vegetables, Ai Tutu also peeled off the cores of the dried red dates according to Li Tianze's instructions.

After taking out the mushrooms, soaking them in water and washing them, Li Tianze cut a cross on each mushroom.

After peeling the red dates, Ai Tutu also picked up a knife and cut the washed carrots and potatoes. As expected by Li Tianze, the appearance of Ai Tutu's cut pieces was really appalling.

Looking at the large and small pieces of potatoes and carrots, Li Tianze stabilized his slightly rising blood pressure and found that everything was fine.

Put the beef into a pot of cold water, heat the water over low heat to remove the blood in the meat. Take it out, rinse it with cold water, put it into a pot of water, add aniseed, seasonings, and simmer over low heat.

"The meat will still be stewed for two hours. Let's do other preparations first."

Boil the carrots in clean water until they are tender and take them out. Fry the potatoes in warm oil until the surface turns brown and take them out.

Even with Li Tianze's skill, which is comparable to that of a famous chef, he almost burnt the potatoes because they were too uneven in size.

Place the carrots, potatoes, mushrooms, and Aitutu-peeled red dates on the bottom of the crock pot.

Looking at the beef that would be ready for more than an hour, Li Tianze was about to stir-fry the beef. Only in this step can he show his true skills!

Add base oil, melt butter, control the temperature of the oil, add flour, stir-fry the flour over low heat, the heat should not be too high, and the frequency of stirring with the kitchen spoon should not be too low, stir-fry until the buds turn yellow, then add the tomato paste.

Ai Tutu couldn't help but open her mouth wide after seeing this step. Is there any other operation like this?

But this fried flour smells real...

(╯▽╰)It smells so good~~

Ai Tutu’s mind: I can do it, can you do it?

Ai Tutu's hand: Get out!

After frying until the tomato paste and flour were mixed into a ball, Li Tianze turned off the heat and stopped, wiping his sweat.

"Why don't you copy it? It's obvious that you haven't finished copying it yet."

"Waiting for the beef stock to be cooked, it will take another hour for the meat to be cooked. Can you release your magic now?"

"ah?"

Ai Tutu was confused by the question. Aren't you cooking now? Why did the topic suddenly jump to cultivation? But she still answered Li Tianze's question honestly. After all, Li Tianze hadn't cooked dinner yet.

"Not yet. I have communicated with six stars. I will be able to release magic next month."

"Is it so slow? It's been almost nine months and it still can't release magic."

Ai Tutu almost burst into tears after hearing Li Tianze's careless words. I am so slow in cultivation? Let alone our class, even if we look at our school, there are not even ten people who can cultivate faster than me, okay?

When Ai Tutu was about to reply to Li Tianze, the next sentence Li Tianze said casually made Ai Tutu shut up on the spot.

"I practiced meditation for two months, and it took me six or seven months to control the stars before I could barely release the magic. I remember that I was able to release the magic within two months of controlling the stars."

You are great, you have the talent, everything you say is right, are the talents of people who can become Forbidden Curse Mage so terrifying? Ai Tutu thought this way.

Li Wenru, who is one Earth Core away from the Forbidden Curse Mage: Don't talk nonsense, I will sue you for slander!

...

After simmering for an hour, looking at the fragrant beef, Li Tianze nodded with satisfaction and handed the fished-out beef and aniseed to Ai Tutu.

"Rabbit, pick out the beef and put it into the earthen pot. I'll fry the juice for it. Don't eat it secretly!"

After hearing Li Tianze's final emphasis, Ai Tutu silently put down her chopsticks and quickly swallowed the beef in her mouth.

Every time Li Tianze adds a spoonful of original soup, the soup will be mixed evenly with the previous dough. With the addition of spoonfuls of original soup, the dough will become larger and larger, and then it will become batter, then become noodle soup, and finally be stirred into soup.

.

Looking at the pot of soup in front of him that was bubbling and colored like pumpkin juice, Li Tianze breathed a sigh of relief. This thing is really difficult to make.

After shaking Ai Tutu awake, Li Tianze added two tablespoons of thick soup into the crock pot, sprinkled onions and green garlic, closed the lid, placed the crock pot on the stove and heated it over low heat.

"Butler, please send this pot of soup to my father and tell him that it is a soup for eating beef."

The butler filled the soup with a discerning eye and left the villa. He knew clearly that his dinner needed to be served in the military canteen. The young master did not need a light bulb next to him for dinner tonight.

...

On the dining table, Li Tianze and Ai Tutu had an earthen pot and a bowl of rice in front of them respectively.

"Li Tianze, it's all your fault. You've been feeding me so much that I gained weight. The day before yesterday, I discovered that I had gained another half a pound!"

While eating, Li Tianze listened to Ai Tutu's complaints and kept smiling and nodding.

so good.

I saw Aitutu finishing the rice with the soup, and now he was picking at the base dish in the earthen pot with chopsticks, looking for any beef he had missed.

"Tutu, I have to leave for a while."

"Crack!"

This was the sound of crock pots and chopsticks falling on the dining table, accompanied by Ai Tutu's unbelievable gaze.
