Returning after three years of reincarnation in the world of martial arts

Chapter 87 The Sudden Crisis at Dinner Together

Hearing this, Li Zhongwu stopped and looked at her in surprise, "This is your own house? Isn't it a hotel?"

In the car before, he heard her tell the female bodyguard to go to Dingxiang Courtyard, and he subconsciously thought that Dingxiang Courtyard was a restaurant.

Unexpectedly, it was her own house.

Fang Xingtong smiled and nodded, "Yes! It's my own house."

Li Zhongwu frowned, "Didn't we say we were going to eat?"

The smile on Fang Xingtong's mouth deepened, "That's right! Didn't you say you like women who can cook? Today I'll cook some dishes for you, you can taste them."

Li Zhongwu: "..."

Fang Xingtong: "Let's go! Everyone is here, let's go in?"

While speaking, her female bodyguard, Sister Yun, had stepped forward and opened the courtyard door.

Li Zhongwu looked at Fang Xingtong, wondering if she could really cook?She is the daughter of the deputy city lord, does Miss Qianjin usually need to cook by herself?

However, as she said, he has come all the time, so it would be very impolite to turn around and leave at this time.

He didn't say anything, nodded, and walked into the courtyard door.

Fang Xingtong followed with a smile.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Li Zhongwu saw a woman in her forties approaching her, folded her hands in front of her belly, and bowed her head to salute them, "Miss, I have prepared all the ingredients you want."

Fang Xingtong hummed, and then introduced to Li Zhongwu, "Mr. Li, she is my housekeeper. Usually I seldom come here. She helps me take care of the place. I have already prepared to invite you to dinner today. So let her prepare the ingredients for me in advance, let's go? Let's go to the kitchen?"

Take me straight to the kitchen?
Shall I watch you cook?

Li Zhongwu was surprised, but it's up to guests, since Fang Xingtong invited him to the kitchen, let's go!

"it is good!"

After agreeing, Li Zhongwu, led by Fang Xingtong, came to the wing on the west side of the courtyard.

There are two rooms here.

One is the kitchen and the other is the dining room.

They are all brick and wood houses.

The walls are made of blue bricks, the beams are made of solid wood, and the roof is covered with black tiles.

The house is also very clean, the floor is covered with solid wood floors, the roof is also suspended with solid wood, and the windows are large and clean.

Fang Xingtong showed him around the kitchen and dining room, and asked him to sit in the dining room first, while she took the apron handed over by the housekeeper, put it on, and casually ordered the housekeeper to make a pot of tea for Li Zhongwu.

Seeing her skillfully wearing an apron, Li Zhongwu believed that she could cook.

Watching her enter the kitchen, washing and chopping vegetables, Li Zhongwu got up out of curiosity and walked to the kitchen door to watch her cook.

Fang Xingtong is very skilled in cooking.

A piece of half-hard and half-soft frozen beef was skillfully cut into small pieces of uniform size by her, and then two potatoes were skillfully peeled and cut into small pieces.

Then I saw her take out a stinky mandarin fish from the freezer, skillfully descaled it, removed its gills, ripped open its belly, and emptied it clean.

Then put it on the chopping board, lift the kitchen knife, and without thinking about it, crisscross the fish with flower knives.

……

Seeing her skilled cooking techniques, Li Zhongwu was a little dazed, thinking of a rumor he heard when he was a child.

When he was a child, he heard from his mother that the lady of the former landlord's house was beautiful in embroidery, making clothes and cooking.

At that time he thought it was impossible.

——The lady of the landlord’s house, shouldn’t she stretch out her hands for clothes and open her mouth for food?How could it be possible to embroider, make clothes, and cook by hand?
But today, he witnessed Fang Xingtong's skillful cooking skills, and he suddenly realized that he had taken it for granted before.

Thinking about it now, in the previous film and television dramas, it seems that many of the landlords and ladies from wealthy families have learned to be female celebrities and cook since they were young.

And "female red" refers to needlework such as embroidery and making clothes in ancient times.

in the kitchen.

Fang Xingtong didn't ask her female bodyguard and housekeeper to help, she did everything herself.

Suddenly, she seemed to sense Li Zhongwu's gaze at the door, and she suddenly turned to look at Li Zhongwu.

Seeing Li Zhongwu staring at her in a daze, she smiled sweetly, raised her hand and pinned a strand of hair hanging down her face behind her ear, "Why are you standing here? Go sit and drink tea! I'll be done in a while." .”

Li Zhongwu came back to his senses and smiled at her, "Do you need my help?"

The way he looked at her was different from before.

He is very traditional in his bones, and he has a hard target for future wife candidates-that is, they must be able to wash, cook, and do housework.

Because his mother knows all these things.

Growing up with his mother, he believed that to be a qualified wife and mother, he must be able to do laundry, cooking and housework.

When he was a child, he noticed early on that the families in the village lived a prosperous life, and the hostesses were all good at doing housework and cooking.

On the contrary, those who often quarrel, beat children, and steal men at home are almost all women who usually spend their minds on their own grooming.

Probably since then, in his mind, being able to do housework and cook is one of the prerequisites for a good wife and mother.

He grew up later, and his views on this aspect have not changed much.

He generally doesn't think about girls who are dressed up all day long.

But now, he found that Fang Xingtong seemed to meet his criteria for choosing a spouse.

Coupled with her text message proposal last night, he suddenly wanted to consider her.

Fang Xingtong smiled and shook his head, "No need! Just watch, I didn't prepare a few dishes today, and I'll be ready in a while."

Li Zhongwu nodded, "Okay, then you are busy! Leave me alone."

"it is good!"

Fang Xingtong looked away after speaking, and continued to cut and prepare dishes.

After about half an hour, she started cooking.

The smell of dishes soon wafted from the kitchen.

The sun outside the window was also gradually setting, and the sky was gradually darkening.

When the lights came on, Fang Xingtong finally turned off the stove, and when she turned around and saw Li Zhongwu was still standing at the kitchen door, she smiled and waved, "Mr. Li, come and serve me two dishes, please?"

Li Zhongwu smiled, "Good!"

Without hesitation, he strode over to serve her dishes.

Braised beef with potatoes, braised stinky mandarin fish, stir-fried broccoli, scallion chicken, and a soup.

Four dishes and one soup.

He could recognize the four dishes.

Only the last soup, although he watched her make it all the way, didn't know what it was.

I only know that she boiled some fresh razor clams, took them out, peeled off the shells, removed the dirt from the razor clams, added ginger, rice wine, and some kind of powder that formed into small pieces, and finally used Knead the powder with many small pieces on the razor clam meat by hand, add celery segments, and make a big bowl of soup.

restaurant.

Four dishes and one soup were served on the long dining table by the two of them.

Fang Xingtong went to the kitchen to bring two sets of bowls and chopsticks and wine glasses.

Finally, he opened the wine cabinet in the restaurant and asked him back, "Mr. Li, do you drink white or red?"

Her wine cabinet is full of all kinds of red wine and white wine.

"Forget it, let's stop drinking!"

Li Zhongwu declined.

This time, she didn't listen to him, but took out a red wine, walked back to the dining table, and said as she walked, "That's no good! There is no feast without wine. It's rare to invite you here today. You must drink some wine." , since you don't want to drink, let's drink some red wine! Red wine is not strong."

She has said that, what else can Li Zhongwu say?

He didn't want to argue with her over such a trivial matter.

Soon, she opened the wine bottle with her own hands, and poured half a glass of red wine for him and herself.

Putting down the wine bottle, she sat down with a smile, raised the wine glass in front of her, and signaled, "Come on! Mr. Li, let me toast you first. I wish you all the best and your wish will come true soon."

my wish?

What does she think my wish is?She sure she knows?

Li Zhongwu looked at her, smiled, and didn't really ask such a question. He picked up his wine glass and touched hers.

"Thank you."

The two toasted together.

Under the bright lights in the dining room, they were just the two of them.

Her bodyguard and housekeeper had been dismissed by her long ago.

Putting down his wine glass, Fang Xingtong greeted Li Zhongwu to eat.

"Let's have a taste of the dishes! Let's see how my cooking is, whether it suits your taste or not."

Seeing her looking at him, Li Zhongwu took a piece of beef with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth when he was waiting for him to taste it. After chewing it a few times, he found that the beef was not cooked at all. The taste is surprisingly good.

As soon as she looked up, she was still looking at him expectantly, and he nodded in praise: "This beef is good! I didn't expect you to be so good at cooking."

Fang Xingtong showed a smile, and said modestly: "You are flattering me. I learned cooking from my mother and the cooks in the kitchen. I have learned cooking for so many years, and it is only at this level. You just need to get used to it. Come on! Try the stinky mandarin fish again, braised stinky mandarin fish is one of our famous dishes in Tianfu City, try it."

"it is good!"

Li Zhongwu stretched out his chopsticks to pick up some fish meat and put it in his mouth, suddenly he felt a fresh, spicy and spicy taste mixed with a faint smell in his mouth.

Dishes with a foul smell always taste a little weird.

But the smell of braised stinky mandarin fish, although a little strange, has a different taste, smacking his lips, the fish meat in his mouth is swallowed, and the taste seems to be still in his mouth.

"Not bad! This mandarin fish tastes very good too. Your cooking skills are really good!"

He sincerely compliments again.

Fang Xingtong heaved a sigh of relief, she personally invited him here today, and she personally cooked such a table of dishes for him, for what reason?

Isn't it just to conquer his stomach?To impress him with her?
Thinking of this, she felt helpless.

As the young lady of the Fang family and the daughter of the deputy city lord, she is beautiful and temperamental, and she even created a Starlight clothing company with a high market value by herself.

With so many advantages and such a good family background, he doesn't even seem to notice that his criteria for choosing a mate are-big buttocks, gentle personality, and being able to cook.

Such a tricky mate selection standard almost completely avoided all her advantages.

Fortunately, she was trained in cooking by her family since she was a child, otherwise she really couldn't do anything about him.

"Eat more if you like! Come, let me pour you some more wine!"

As she spoke, she stood up and poured wine for him.

At this moment, the chopsticks in Li Zhongwu's hand suddenly stopped, his brows frowned, and he turned to look out of the restaurant window.

He sensed the murderous intent, and also sensed a strong sense of crisis suddenly descending on him.

He subconsciously looked at Fang Xingtong across the way, but saw that she was smiling, as if she was not aware of the crisis outside, and she had no malice towards him.
