The wealthy man's wife is a sideline [rebirth]

Chapter 8 Braised Lamb Chops

Su Qiao took a pair of chopsticks and placed the ingredients on the porcelain plate.

Thinly sliced ​​ham makes the base, and neat pieces of chicken are placed on top.Slice a rectangle of ham between every two pieces of chicken.

Then take half a bowl of clear soup that has been hung in advance, and pour it evenly on each piece of chicken.

At this time, the saltiness of the ham has not yet melted into the chicken, so it needs to be steamed again.Under the action of high temperature and water vapor, the flavor of ham will soak into every texture of chicken until the chicken absorbs all the essence of ham and becomes extremely delicious.

The chef turned the spoon and made other dishes, took a moment to take a look, and gave Su Qiao a thumbs up: "This one looks delicious."

Su Qiao smiled and said: "I will do it again another day, everyone will try it."

……

In the living room, everyone was chatting one after another, and Su's father and Su's mother roughly asked about the situation of the Luo family—this was all known in advance, but it was just a formality.Then he talked about Su Qiao's little habits, and discussing the wedding date and so on.

Su Qiao is not yet of legal marriage age, so she cannot get a certificate.

Now there are two ways to deal with it.Hold the wedding first, and wait until Su Qiao turns 22 to get a marriage certificate.Or get engaged first and get married after Su Qiao graduates.

These two methods are very common in marriages. Once the two marriages are announced to the public, it basically means that they are tied together, and there is very little repentance.Therefore, whether it is the wedding or the engagement first, Su's father and Su's mother think it is acceptable.

"Why don't you ask Jiujiu for his opinion?" Mother Su said. "After all, it's about you two young people, we don't count."

Luo Yunshen nodded upon hearing the words, and said, "Okay."

A burst of aroma wafted from the kitchen, making people hungry.

After another half an hour, Su Qiao came out of the kitchen, his whole face was a little red due to the high temperature, and he said excitedly, "It's time to eat."

On the dining table, all kinds of dishes have been set up.The steamed chicken with ham is in the center, disregarding the whole table.

The chicken is steamed at high temperature, and the outer skin is almost half-melted. When it is illuminated by the light of the restaurant, it looks a little crystal clear.The stewed lamb chops next to it are sprinkled with white sesame seeds and chives, and are stirred by the heat, mixed with the aroma of the braised lamb, slowly spreading in the air.After being stewed, the mutton has turned into an attractive reddish brown, and the bones are crispy and the meat is rotten, which is mouth-watering.

Shrimp in garlic oil has a short cooking time, so it is not served until the meal is ready.

Su Qiao was holding the glass bowl of shrimps, and before she got to the dining table, the aroma had already spread.

The minced garlic is fried in hot oil, and the aroma is particularly strong.The thick brown sauce is mixed with minced garlic, and every shrimp is completely immersed in it, and the plump shrimp meat absorbs the sauce.

"It smells so good!" Su Guoan sat down at the table and looked at the dishes. "Sit down and eat."

Everyone immediately picked up their chopsticks and reached for the steamed chicken with ham in the center.Su Qiao and Luo Yunshen were sitting together, so the chopsticks fought in the air, leaving them one step behind.

Su Qiao retracted her hand subconsciously, her ears were a little red, and she whispered to the side, "I'm sorry."

Luo Yunshen didn't speak, picked up a piece of chicken, put it in Su Qiao's bowl, and said, "You didn't do anything wrong."

"Hmm." Su Qiao nodded, a little happy, thought about it, and said again. "I made the steamed chicken with ham. I also made the lamb chops and shrimp. Mr. Luo, try it?"

Luo Yunshen: "Okay."

While they were talking, everyone else at the table had already eaten the chicken in their mouths.

The steamed chicken is a little distorted golden, and the soup is fresh first.With a light sip, the half-melted gelatinous skin is gone, leaving only a plump mouthfeel.Then the soft and tender chicken slowly spread out, the meat is smooth, and the chicken that has absorbed the salty ham has a special taste, but it has disappeared when you want to taste it carefully, which makes people dissatisfied and can't wait to eat again eat more.

"Oh——" Luo Xingzhu was burned by the chicken, but he still stubbornly swallowed the tender chicken with an exaggerated expression. "Isn't this too delicious?" He was outgoing and used to be active. Although he had been very interested in Su's lunch before, he didn't really have much expectations.

The Luo family's family background is unusual, and Luo Xingzhu also eats all kinds of delicacies since childhood.Not to mention delicacies from mountains and seas, but what rare ingredients and famous craftsmanship have you never seen at home and abroad?

An ordinary serving of steamed chicken, even with ham, is not very unique in Luo Xingzhu's opinion.Or is it just a smell?There are many dishes that smell delicious but taste mediocre.

Luo Xingzhu thought so until he put the chicken into his mouth.

But as soon as the steamed chicken was in the mouth, Luo Xingzhu let out an exclamation in his heart.The saltiness is perfectly grasped, the chicken is juicy and juicy, and the tempting aroma seems to be exuded from the bones.After eating the meat, Luo Xingzhu sucked on the chicken bone before picking up another piece.

The people at the table didn't have time to talk, and frequently stretched their chopsticks towards the three dishes made by Su Qiao.

Luo Yunshen was no exception, but he didn't act that exaggeratedly, he still maintained proper dining etiquette, and his expression didn't fluctuate at all-only from the speed of serving dishes, it could be seen that he was very satisfied with the dishes.

Compared with steamed chicken, Luo Yunshen prefers the braised lamb chops.The taste of mutton is thicker than that of chicken, and the unique smell of mutton is neutralized by the seasoning and becomes a strong fragrance.The brown-red, oily sauce covers each piece of lamb chops, and when the bones are picked up, the thick sauce will slide down.

The lamb chops have been simmered for nearly two hours. The originally firm meat has become crispy, but the fascia next to the bone is still chewy. The surging and bright meat aroma seems to flow directly into the stomach along the taste buds inside.

Su Qiao watched from the side, and carefully wrote down the matter: Compared with chicken, Mr. Luo likes to eat mutton more.

He thought about it silently without moving his chopsticks.Until someone tapped the rim of his bowl.

"What are you thinking?" Luo Yun asked deeply. "Concentrate on eating."

Su Qiao was a little embarrassed, her face turned red, she said "Oh", and obediently picked up the chopsticks to pick up the vegetables.

"This taste is absolutely amazing—" Luo Xingzhu said contentedly after eating a piece of lamb chops. "How can it be so delicious? It's just mutton, so delicious..."

While talking, I went to pick up the garlic oil and drench the shrimp.

The prawn meat dipped in garlic is very springy, and the sauce with enough flavor gives people a direct and strong taste enjoyment, and then chewing, you can feel the original sweetness of the prawn meat.Luo Xingzhu couldn't help but squeeze another one.

Comparing the two, the dishes prepared by the chefs of the Su family pale in comparison.

Luo Xingzhu's food wasn't enough, he pondered for a while, made some sauce of braised lamb chops, and poured it on the white rice.The sauce drenches the glistening rice, making it extra tantalizing.He picked up a few more prawns, removed the tails of the prawns, and placed them on the mixed rice.

Then he opened his mouth and took a big mouthful.

Bibimbap with sauce is a regular way of eating, but you can always get a surprising delicacy.The rich sauce wraps the rice, and the unspeakable delicious taste spreads in the mouth. The soft and springy shrimp meat is the best embellishment, which makes the meaty sauce not so greasy and achieves an ingenious balance.

grass!The bibimbap was so delicious that Luo Xingzhu cursed silently in his heart. He simply didn't know how to express his mood at this time, so he had to express it with an emotionally intense monosyllable.

After eating a lunch for nearly two hours, the three dishes made by Su Qiao were quickly emptied, and everyone whetted their appetites, and then ate other things on the table.The chef of the Su family tried his best to prepare today's lunch. Although the taste of the dishes is not as good as that of Su Qiao's, but fortunately there are many varieties, and there are always one or two that are palatable.

After eating, Father Su took out the tea leaves he had treasured and chatted with Luo Yunshen.Most of the time, it was Su's father talking about his career struggles when he was young. Luo Yunshen listened expressionlessly, occasionally nodding his head, unable to tell if he was bored or interesting.

After a long while, Mother Su couldn't bear to watch it any longer. She was angry and funny, and patted Father Su on the back lightly: "I will talk about your old calendar all day long, and Xiao Luo is young and promising, and he is much better than you." Head towards Luo Yunshen. "Is Xiao Luo tired? You can go upstairs and take a rest. Or ask Jiujiu to take you for a walk in the garden, so you can talk?"

Su Qiao originally rested his head on the armrest of the sofa and listened to Father Su's words on his stomach—he was still a little curious about this, and didn't know what his parents were like when they were young—at this moment, he opened his eyes a little blankly: "Ah ?”

He straightened up and looked around, like a kitten suddenly awakened.

Mother Su saw that he was funny, and poked his forehead with her index finger: "Go, take Xiao Luo for a walk, you young people have something to say."

Su Qiao stood up obediently: "Mr. Luo?"

Luo Yunshen nodded to Su's father and Su's mother, and said, "Then I'll leave first. Xingzhu, you stay here with uncle and aunt."

Luo Xingzhu raised two fingers together and gestured to him to show that he understood.

The two walked out through the floor-to-ceiling glass doors on the other side of the living room, and behind them was the garden.Mother Su is very passionate about life. She likes to buy some flowers and plants to plant and cultivate. When the flowers bloom, she cuts them off and puts them in bottles as decorations.Jasmine is still blooming in the garden now, standing in clusters by the roadside.

Su Qiao didn't know what to say, she frowned slightly, looking a little distressed.

Luo Yunshen noticed it, and he knew that as long as he said a word, the problem could be solved.But for some reason, he didn't do that. He just walked forward calmly, waiting for Su Qiao to speak.

After a few seconds, Su Qiao still didn't think there was anything to talk about, so she said dryly, "The dishes for lunch... what do you think of Mr. Luo?"

He obviously knew that this entry point was not good, so his expression was a little tangled and nervous, as if as long as Luo Yunshen showed no interest in this topic, he could catch back the previous sentence.

Seeing him like this, a smile appeared in Luo Yunshen's eyes.

"Very good." Luo Yunshen said. “The braised lamb chops are delicious.”

Su Qiao nodded, instantly relaxed and a little happy.He said "hmm" twice, and then said, "After getting married, I will make it for you every day."

"Speaking of marriage." Luo Yun said deeply. "I want to ask your opinion on something."

Su Qiao looked at him.

Luo Yunshen: "You are 20 years old and have not yet reached the legal age of marriage, so now you have two choices. Let's get engaged first and get married after you graduate, or hold a wedding directly and get a marriage certificate when you turn 22."

Su Qiao thought for a while and asked, "Mr. Luo, what do you think is better?"

Of course, Luo Yunshen prefers to hold the wedding directly.But seeing that Su Qiao was so obedient, he felt that if he said it, it might affect the other party's decision, so he just said: "Think for yourself."

"Oh." Su Qiao wasn't angry either, and lowered her head to think.

I heard from my father that Mr. Luo's elders really want him to get married... If it's just an engagement, what if the old man can't wait in the past two years?

Furthermore, according to the memory of the previous life, Su Yu and Song Wenxing would secretly deal with the Su family's property.If they get married, the Song family should have some scruples.The engagement means that the connection between the Luo and Su families is not that close, which is actually not a good thing for the Su family.

And after getting married, she will move out of the house and live with Mr. Luo.

Thinking about it this way, I am a little embarrassed, but also a little looking forward to it.

Su Qiao dawdled for a long time, and finally showed a solemn and determined expression: "I want to get married." After a pause, she added. "Have the wedding first, and then go to get the certificate when you are old."

Luo Yunshen didn't expect him to say that, and was a little surprised.However, he did not express any objection, and only said: "Have you considered it?"

Su Qiao nodded firmly.

……

Luo Yunshen and Luo Xingzhu stayed at Su's house until they had dinner before saying goodbye.

After a day of getting along, Su's father had a much better impression of Luo Yun.Probably seeing that he was not as unkind as rumored when he got along with his youngest son, so he felt more at ease.When sending them away, they enthusiastically said that Luo Yunshen would come back in two days, and that he had newly obtained tea, and that they would taste it together.

At this time, father of Su probably didn't remember who Song Wenxing was.

On the way back, Luo Xingzhu sat in the co-pilot, touched his full stomach, hiccupped, and said, "Can you trick Jiujiu home as soon as possible?"

At the end of the day, he also called Jiujiu.

Luo Yunshen listened to his cousin's kind address and fell silent.

"His cooking is really—— delicious!" Luo Xingzhu danced and danced, still reminiscing about the crispy pork belly dish that night. "After being cheated, I will have a delicious meal. Anything Jiujiu can cook will be delicious."

Luo Xingzhu began to fantasize about being able to eat Su Qiao's cooking every day, but he heard his cousin say from the side: "After we got married, he lived with me in the downtown apartment, not in the old house."

Luo Xingzhu froze on the spot, and after a while, he turned his head to the side little by little, with a face full of disbelief: "Why?!"

Although Luo Yunshen owns a lot of real estate, but because he is alone, he can live anywhere, and the old house is quieter than the city center, so he still lives in the Luo family's old house most of the time.

Luo Xingzhu thought it would be the same after getting married, but he didn't expect that his dream of enjoying delicious food every day was shattered on the main road.

"No reason." Luo Yunshen said flatly. "Of course you have to move out when you get married. It's not convenient to live in an old house."

Luo Xingzhu: "..." What's inconvenient?

"Also, Su Qiao doesn't like being called "Jiujiu." Luo Yunshen said. "After you get married, you are his cousin according to your seniority. It is impolite to call you by a nickname. Be careful in the future."

Luo Xingzhu: "..."
