Chapter 150 149 Two small dark clouds drifting in on a sunny day

When Xu Zhe arrived at Song Xingye's house, he found that the girl had already prepared all the ingredients.

Tomatoes, eggs, pork, peppers, lotus seeds...and of course the essential seasonings such as onions, ginger, and garlic.Each one has been taken out of the plastic bag.Those vegetarian vegetables are all placed in basins and soaked in water.

"My mother said that you need to soak it for a while and wash it several times to wash away the residual pesticides on the vegetables."

As Song Xingye said this, he saw Xu Zhe rolling up his sleeves and starting to work.

The girl stood beside him obediently.

Xu Zhe first picked up the piece of meat and asked, "How do you want to eat it?"

Song Xingye was more cautious: "Let's start with simple methods."

"Okay, let's make fried pork with chili. It's very simple. The meat needs to be sliced, and it shouldn't be cut too thickly. In fact, my knife skills are not very good, so in order to reduce the difficulty of cutting the meat, you can put it in the refrigerator for a while. Freeze it hard before cutting it. When I cook, I usually consider how to cook the meat first, because in many ways, the meat needs to be processed in advance. For example, soaking, pickling, etc. "

With that said, Xu Zhe put the piece of meat into the refrigerator to freeze.

Then he explained: "Generally, there are two ways of thinking about cooking meat, either long time or short time. Long time means stewing meat, roasting meat, etc., which often takes more than an hour, or even two or three hours. I don't have a pressure cooker at home. , I think you don’t have this either, so if you want to have a good taste and be able to bite, the heat must be in place. Another way of thinking is to slice, shred, or chop the meat into small pieces in a short time, and then attack the fire quickly. Stir-fried..."

"Wait a second!"

As Song Xingye listened, he realized that he had forgotten one aspect of his preparation today.

So she hurried out to find a blank notebook and pen, returned to the kitchen, and started taking notes seriously.

Xu Zhe couldn't help but laugh: "You learn how to cook as if you were in class. You are indeed a top student."

Song Xingye said seriously: "Because there are a lot of knowledge points, I think it should be written down."

Xu Zhe: "Okay, let me continue... Where did I end up talking?"

Song Xingye raised his hand as if in class, and then said: "Two ways of thinking about making meat!"

Xu Zhe: "Oh, actually this is just my own experience. If the meat wants to be tender, it needs to be marinated in advance. Salt, white pepper, green onion and ginger water are usually added to the marinated meat to give it a little base flavor. Remove the fishy smell and make the taste tender. Then add some starch and some oil. Some people will add MSG, or you can also make egg whites, but for beginners, I will try to simplify the steps for you. "

The girl's pen moves like a dragon and a snake, and the sound of "swish, swish, swish" is heard endlessly.

Xu Zhe: "Of course you don't marinate the meat, you can just stir-fry it. My personal favorite is the dry-stirred shredded beef. It doesn't pursue tenderness, but a burnt texture... Well, let's go back to the chili stir-fry. Meat. I think you can eat spicy food, right?"

Song Xingye nodded, but hesitated for a few seconds, then made a 'little bit' gesture with his pen: "Don't eat too spicy."

"This green pepper is not very spicy. In other words, it doesn't make much sense for me to talk about it now. Let's talk about it while doing it. In addition to the fried pork with pepper, I will make two more dishes today, one stir-fried lotus root and one tomato scrambled egg. All of them Stir-fried vegetables can be cooked quickly this way.”

Xu Zhe looked at the main ingredients in the kitchen and quickly decided on the three dishes for lunch.

Song Xingye still nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Xu Zhe took Lian Bai out of the water and handed it over: "Tear it up."

Song Xingye tilted his head: "Tear it apart?"

Xu Zhe: "Some vegetables do not need to be cut. It is better to tear them by hand. There is no technical content. Just make each piece about the same size."

Song Xingye looked at the lotus scroll, then at the pen and notebook in his hand, and said weakly: "I can't take notes like this..."

Xu Zhe smiled and said: "Learning is not just the way taught in school. Learning in practice is sometimes more effective."

Hearing what he said, the girl suddenly became curious: "Besides cooking, what else have you learned in practice?"

Xu Zhe: "Writing code. It is very inefficient to just read books when it comes to programming. It is best to practice with problems and try to solve them, and then you will know how to improve."

So Song Xingye put down his notebook and pen, picked up Lian Bai, and started tearing into an empty plate.The torn vegetables were put into the plate piece by piece.Xu Zhe noticed that her movements still had the rigor and seriousness unique to a good student.Even the torn dishes are neatly square.Of course, this speed cannot be increased.

Xu Zhe said helplessly: "You don't need to use a knife, just tear it with your hands, just because you need an irregular shape. You tear it in such a regular way, it makes no sense..."

Song Xingye suddenly became a little nervous: "Do you need an irregular shape?"

"Yes."

Before Xu Zhe finished speaking, he saw that the girl's tearing method had indeed changed, becoming deliberately irregular, and each piece she tore off was like a puzzle piece.Every time she tore it apart, she became more serious.

Xu Zhe sighed: "Are you so serious about everything you do?"

Song Xingye stopped what he was doing, raised his head and looked at him: "Huh?"

Xu Zhe: "I mean, you are very serious about your work. But apart from studying, it will be very tiring to be so serious about other things."

Song Xingye smiled and said: "Shouldn't you take learning cooking seriously? I don't have any foundation at all."

Xu Zhe changed the topic: "Actually, I'm not talking about cooking, but about other things. For example, how do you dominate classmate Tang Lingfei?"

The girl's smile froze, and she just subconsciously asked: "What do you control?"

Xu Zhe: "Feifei was determined to follow me today, but after answering your call, she went home obediently."

Song Xingye just thought for a moment and said, "Because I told her that I was curious about your PSP, and she said she could lend it to me to play with."

Xu Zhe: "Is it that simple?"

Song Xingye: "It's that simple."

The girl's smile returned to normal.However, from those two sweet dimples, Xu Zhe seemed to see two small dark clouds on a sunny day.

He felt it shouldn't be that simple.Even if it was indeed because of the PSP, there should be other reasons why Tang Lingfei was in a hurry to go back.However, Xu Zhe found that he knew too little and there were too many missing links in the logical chain, so it was impossible to find the correct idea.

But in the end, it's just a little secret between two girls, right?

Xu Zhe did not dwell on this issue anymore, but returned to the topic of the kitchen: "You continue to tear, and I will show you how to cut a tomato. First of all, the principle of holding the knife, this must be stable..."

Song Xingye nodded repeatedly while tearing apart, still listening so seriously.

----

Tang Lingfei returned to Xu Zhe's home.

After knocking on the security door, I saw Aunt Zeng Jing standing at the door, wondering: "Why are you back? Isn't Xu Zhe with you?"

Tang Lingfei suddenly felt a little heavy.She used to say whatever she wanted, but today, just because she kept her affair with Xu Zhe from Song Xingye, she found that she needed to tell lies one after another.She was not used to this kind of thing at all.

But now that she was standing here, Tang Lingfei still said: "I want to borrow Xu Zhe's PSP, is that okay?"

Zeng Jing smiled and said, "Of course you can. He has already said that you can play with it as long as you want, and he has no objection to putting it in your house."

Tang Lingfei: "Does he have no objection?"

Zeng Jing: "He said it himself was fine."

Hearing this, Tang Lingfei suddenly felt happy. Xu Zhe was willing to take something as important as a PSP game for himself unconditionally. Who else could compare to such a strong relationship?
