My frequent visitor is actually Liyue Qixing!

"If I don't eat anything else, I can't even finish this grilled fish." Xiang Ling shook her head. She didn't want to waste anything her master made.

As for this fish, if she can't finish it, she will take it back for tomorrow's breakfast!

Lu Qingci opened the curtain at the back and fished out the arm-sized fish.

At this time, the fish had grown to an astonishing size, and even Lu Qingci could not finish it.

The fish was simply processed

112

After a while, hang off the fish scales, cut off the fins, dig out the fish bones, and cut the fish into segments with a knife.

Because this fish is too big, I can only cut it into a few more pieces.

Add the seasonings, mix well and marinate for a while, then stuff the chopped ginger into the fish to remove the fishy smell.

Then skewer the processed fish and chopped green onions onto iron skewers, but even giant iron skewers require two skewers because the size of the fish cannot be placed on one skewer.

PS:

Ah Jiu had just finished typing, lying on the bed and curling up in a heap from exhaustion. She didn't notice that her door was quietly opened.

By the time she realized it, it was already too late, she had already been tied up by Wu Huada, and the two people in front of her looked fiercely, looking at Ah Jiu who was crying in front of her with garbage looks on their faces.

"Stop crying, let me ask you, when will you let me come back?" Ying put her foot on the wall beside Ah Jiu.

"That's right, we've been living in the wilderness for so many days, why don't you let us come back?" Paimon on the side crossed his chest with his hands, imitating Ying's appearance, but put his foot in the air.

"Come on, come on, oooooooo, let me go!"

Ying sneered, took out the tickets he took out from the pockets of twenty travelers and threw them at Ah Jiu, leaving the words "take care of yourself" and left.

Ah Jiu was finally let go. She immediately took the tickets into her arms and said while picking them up: "Piao Piao, my tickets~"

073-Mr. Zhongli’s approval, the girl who came back from picking up trash?

Preheat the oven, then put two large skewers of grilled fish into the oven.

At this time, Lu Qingci should be grateful that the capacity of the oven is large enough, otherwise there would be no way to bake these steaks and seafood every day, all at once.

While the fish was grilling, Lu Qingci took out the coffee beans and poured them into the coffee machine.

Take out two empty large glasses, add ice cubes and mint into them, then add half a cup of milk, and finally pour the ground coffee into them.

Putting it on the long table, Xiangling naturally took one of the mint latte in front of her and took a sip.

At this time, the oven was already ringing. Lu Qingci walked over to open the oven, and then brushed a thin layer of oil on the almost-baked fish.

Bake again for a few minutes, then apply the seasoning and take it out.

Immediately, the aroma of grilled fish filled the restaurant, and two tables of guests immediately ordered grilled fish, and they just happened to share one piece.

"My food can actually drive Qingyunzhai's business. Master, you have made a profit by having such a good apprentice like me!"

"Yes, yes, Miss Xiangling is lucky wherever she goes."

Lu Qingci shook her head helplessly. It seemed that Xiangling was in a particularly good mood since she knew that the people she went out with were just friends and not the so-called master's wife.

While ordering, settling accounts, and humming, it happened that even with such half-heartedness, nothing went wrong. Lu Qingci tried to find an excuse to say something to her but had no chance.

"So Master, you just agreed to accompany Miss Ying'er to go shopping?" the girl suddenly said.

"Ah."

"Then...won't the sister you went out with today be jealous?"

'Bang! '

"Master, you hit me again!"

Xiangling covered her head with an aggrieved look, and hummed: "Knock me down when I mention that sister, Master, you are unethical!"

"Children, don't talk nonsense." Lu Qingci weighed the carrot in his hand, "That sister won't say anything."

Xiangling immediately fell silent, and then said, "You haven't gone out with me yet."

Is it because of this?

Lu Qingci raised his eyebrows, as if he didn't think that Xiang Ling had been wandering around here for a long time just to say this.

But come to think of it, I have never gone out alone with Miss Xiangling. I was busy researching new dishes during the day, but the two of them spent an hour together in the evening, which already accounted for a lot.

But looking at Xiangling's wrinkled appearance, she smiled and said, "Of course I will accompany Miss Xiangling whenever she wants to go out."

"Is this so?" Xiangling suddenly felt that her head ached no longer and said, "That's pretty much it!"

"Miss Xiangling's mood seems to be particularly high."

"Really? It's probably because the grilled fish is so delicious." Xiang Ling ate very happily and very informally.

She wore two layers of disposable gloves because she was afraid that unexpected guests would get them on her hands and it would take a lot of time to wipe them off.

The bell in front of the restaurant door rang. The two of them looked towards the door at the same time and saw a familiar figure pushing the door open.

"Good evening, Mr. Lu, Miss Xiangling."

"Mr. Zhongli?" Xiangling said as she took off her gloves and wanted to help order, but was stopped by Lu Qingci.

"Eat quickly and go back. It's getting late." Lu Qingci said.

"Good evening Mr. Zhongli, what would you like to eat today?"

"From this dish to this dish, minus the crab roe tofu, I want the rest." Zhongli sat down at his accustomed corner of the long table and said, "It's still the mint latte."

"Okay, wait a moment." After Lu Qingci finished writing the order, he put the bill back to its original place and said to Xiang Ling: "Don't think about wasting time, it's already very late."

"Oh!"

Lu Qingci took a look at the dishes Mr. Zhongli ordered today, 'Pickled Fresh', 'Kou Sansi', 'Spicy Stir-fried Pork Slices', 'Miwo Wo', 'Butter Matsutake', 'Fragrant and Tender Pepper Chicken'

Since he had never made this butter matsutake dish since he opened the business, Lu Qingci briefly took a look at the recipe and started cooking three longer dishes: marinated Du Xian, Gu San Si, and Mi Wo Wo.

Wait until you put the pickled pine mushrooms into a casserole and simmer over low heat, and put the kousansi and rice woofo into the steamer before starting this butter matsutake dish.

This dish is simpler than Lu Qingci imagined.

First wash the matsutake mushrooms, cut them into slices, and set them aside on a plate for later use.

Take out a small piece of butter and melt it in the frying pan. When small bubbles appear on the surface of the butter, add a pinch of salt, then put the matsutake slices into the frying pan.

After that, wait for it to be fried until it is shiny and golden, and then it is ready to be plated.

Arrange the fried matsutake flatly on a plate in the shape of a flower, and then sprinkle a small amount of black pepper on top to complete.

Looking at the buttery matsutake with its charming aroma, Lu Qingci couldn't help but think of the phrase 'the most high-end ingredients are often cooked in simple ways'.

Take out two large chicken legs from the refrigerator above and remove the bones from the chicken legs.

Pour cold water into a pot, add green onions, star anise, ginger slices, bay leaves and cooking wine and bring to a boil.

Skip off the foam and continue cooking for a few minutes.

Take out the cooked chicken thighs, rinse them with water, and then put them into ice water with ice cubes and set aside.

Take out the garlic clove and chop it into mince, take out the empty bowl, add the minced garlic, then add the dried chili pepper segments, fresh Jueyun pepper segments, white sesame seeds, pepper, and finally pour hot oil.

Wait until the hot oil is about to stop boiling, then add salt, sugar, light soy sauce and a spoonful of the soup for cooking the chicken legs. Add in the pepper oil and red oil, and a bowl of fragrant and tender pepper chicken soup is ready. .

Cut the chicken thighs into strips of even size, then add the prepared sauce and stir evenly.

Place the stirred tender pepper chicken on a plate, place some side dishes on the side, and finally pour some sauce on it, and the tender pepper chicken is complete.

At this time, the braised pork belly and rice noodles were ready. Lu Qingci turned the temperature to keep warm, and then put the stir-fried pork slices into the pot.

After watching Xiang Ling leave consciously, Lu Qingci brought the prepared food to the table, and then began to prepare a cup of mint latte.

Zhongli took the chopsticks and took his first bite at the butter matsutake.

The matsutake mushrooms that were sliced ​​very thin but still had enough thickness were now golden brown on both sides when fried in butter, giving off a beautiful color.

Put the matsutake into your mouth and chew it gently. The aroma of butter and matsutake lingers in Zhongli's mouth. The slightly chewy and soft texture makes you want to stop.

It feels like you are in a matsutake garden, jumping up and down one thick matsutake after another.

Zhongli was very glad that he was the first to try this dish.

Although the taste is very strong when eaten empty-handed, it does not mean that he will still feel the same when eating this dish after eating other dishes with the same strong taste.

So before his taste was still sensitive, Zhongli ate half of the plate of butter matsutake.

It was rare for Zhongli to praise after taking just a few bites: "Mr. Lu's butter matsutake is truly outstanding. From the smell to the texture of the matsutake, it's rare."

"It is an honor for Lu to be recognized by Mr. Zhongli."

"Mr. Lu is being too modest. If your place wasn't only open at night, I'm afraid I would have provided every day's meals at your place."

"As long as Mr. Zhongli's every night belongs to Qingyunzhai, it will be fine." Lu Qingci said with a smile.

"If there is nothing to delay, it must be like this." Zhongli said, "When there is something to delay, I will not go to other restaurants."

Seeing Zhong Li's 'explanation' look, Lu Qingci realized that he seemed to have received the heart of a regular customer, and he felt very relieved.

He said: "I welcome Mr. Zhongli here at any time."

"By the way, why isn't that girl with blue hair here today?" Zhongli seemed to mention it casually.

"The girl with blue hair? Oh, Mr. Zhongli is talking about Miss Gan Yu?"

"That should be the name." Zhongli said, "I often met him before, but it seems I haven't seen him in the past two days."

"Miss Gan Yu seems to be in a bad mood recently." Lu Qingci said, "She mentioned that it seems to be because of the fall of Emperor Yan Wang. After all, everyone in Liyue regards Emperor Yan Wang as their belief.

But after these few days of heart-to-heart talks and going out with her to relax today, it looks like it will be much better. "

"That's it." Zhong Li took a sip of his mint latte and said clearly, "No wonder today there are rumors all over the city that Boss Lu is in love. It turns out that the mysterious woman is Miss Gan Yu."

"Mr. Zhongli, please don't tell anyone." Lu Qingci said.

Zhongli asked, "Oh? Don't you want to make it public yet?"

"No." Lu Qingci shook his head and said, "Miss Gan Yu and I are relatively good friends. Although it is not a big deal for us to talk together,

But with all the ups and downs being reported today, I am nothing like a rough guy.

But Miss Gan Yu is different. She is a thin-skinned and sensitive girl.

If these words reached her ears, she would definitely blush with embarrassment.

如果

It's okay if I don't know it's her. If they knew it was her, someone would inevitably ask.

At that time, a good leisure time will cause trouble for Miss Gan Yu, and that will be bad. "

Zhongli thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Lu is really thoughtful.

Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else about Mr. Lu. "

--------------------------------------

"Will today's bill still be sent to the Hall of Purity?"

"Yes, as usual." Zhongli nodded and drank the last mouthful of soup on the table.

As soon as the commission was issued, Lu Qingci was surprised that someone picked up the order in less than 3 minutes, and the door of Qingyunzhai was pushed open within 1 minute.

"Hey Smiling Tiger, look who's back?"

With a familiar voice and a familiar figure, Lu Qingci immediately stood up and looked at the two girls in front of the door in surprise. They seemed to have gone through a lot of hardships, and they always felt like they had just returned from picking up garbage.

Lu Qingci thought so and said so.

"Hey! You really have no conscience. The first thing I and I did when we came back was to come to you to report that we were safe." Paimeng stamped his feet, obviously very angry.

"Paimon, don't be like this." Ying smiled helplessly, why did Paimon and Brother Lu always start talking to each other when they met.
