Chapter 80 The Chef

Xiang Kun invited Tang Baona, Yang Zhener, and Xia Libing over for dinner one day later, on the evening of Tuesday, September 3.

According to Xiang Kun's original idea, he just bought some beef and cooked two dishes according to the recipe.

But his character is like this. No matter what, he just thought about doing it at first, but when he was doing it, he accidentally invested in it, and he couldn't help but want to do better.

What's more, he happened to be interested in cooking recently.

In fact, on the night when Xiang Kun had just agreed to invite them to dinner, when Xiang Kun was looking for suitable recipes on the Internet, he couldn't help but start sending WeChat to ask about their tastes.

In Xiang Kun's understanding, there is no absolutely delicious and perfect taste in the world.

People from different regions have different tastes and preferences, and even every different individual has his own preferences.

Although the dishes that are made extremely well can usually be recognized by most people, the degree of recognition is also different. Some people think "very delicious", some people think "very delicious", and some People think that it’s okay, and they may even make the opposite judgments that it is a little salty, a little lighter, too spicy, or not spicy enough.

Most people are not professional gourmets and have a judging system.Whether a dish is delicious or not is the first feeling and purely subjective judgment of the taste buds.

Therefore, Xiang Kun believes that adjusting the taste of dishes for different people's tastes is a way to get twice the result with half the effort.

Even to the extreme, it should be to call the people who want to eat into the kitchen. He does it while letting them try it, and then he adjusts the taste little by little according to the feedback.

Xiang Kun also had this idea for a moment, but immediately gave up, which is a bit too exaggerated.

Moreover, this process may take an hour or two, or it may last for a long time. If they find it troublesome, they just stop at halfway through, with Xiangkun’s personality, this feeling of not finishing one thing is even more uncomfortable... …

At 6:30 on Tuesday evening, Yang Zhener picked up Tang Baona and Xia Libing after get off work and arrived at Xiang Kun's house.

The security door outside was hidden, and the three of them pushed in directly.

As soon as I entered the room, I smelled the scent from the kitchen while still in the hallway.

On the dining table in the living room, in addition to the four sets of bowls and chopsticks, there are three large white porcelain plates, all covered by a stainless steel soup basin, and you can't see what is inside.

Obviously, these are three dishes that have already been prepared.

After closing the door, the three women all went straight to the kitchen, watching with some curiosity as Xiang Kun, who was wearing an apron, was busy.

"I'm going, are you planning to cook a few dishes...?" Yang Zhener said in surprise. When Xiangkun promised Tang Baona the day before yesterday that she would cook and invite them to dinner, she thought it would be one or two dishes at most I made the dishes by myself, and then ordered a few takeaways to make a living. After all, Xiang Kun said that he had just started to learn to cook for a few days, and they didn’t report any expectations. They just wanted to force him to eat with them. .

But looking at this posture, it's not like a beginner...

Indeed, Xiang Kun’s figure busy in the kitchen is swift, fast and smooth, but not flustered at all, and the stir-frying movements are steady and fast. It is very accurate when to put the seasoning and when to start the pan. , Resolute, without hesitation.After a while, it was time to wash the pot and prepare the next dish. He looked like an experienced chef, not like a rookie who just started to learn to cook.

"Four dishes and one soup, it will be ready in about 15 minutes. You can wait outside for a while." Xiang Kun said without looking back.

He bought a bunch of ingredients the day before yesterday, and then spent the whole day consuming all the ingredients, improving the recipes he found online, and adjusting the taste and cooking process in a targeted manner.

Last night, I decided on the dishes and recipes to be made. Then I went out this morning to buy fresh ingredients and calculated the time. After Yang Zhener said that she was going to leave, she began to estimate that she received Tang Baona, After Xia Libing, it took about time to get to the community where he lived.

Then according to this time, arrange the time to start cooking.

There is a sequence of four dishes and one soup. Some dishes can be left in the pot for a while, but they taste better. Some dishes need to be eaten as soon as possible.

Before he started cooking, he had planned every step in his brain. The next step was step by step, just like a set program, running line by line, although sometimes there will be Error, but the error is also within the calculation range.Before doing this step, the next step and even the next step have been previewed in my mind.

So it seems that Xiang Kun's figure in the kitchen is busy and not chaotic, just like a skilled veteran.

Standing for a while at the door of the kitchen, Yang Zhener couldn't help whispering to a friend: "What the hell is he looking a little handsome when he is cooking?"

Tang Baona squinted at her and smiled: "The person you like is a world-famous chef. One day he will come to you with an apron, a bald head, and braised pork?...

Yang Zhen'er pinched her: "I'm going! Are you actually laughing at me? He is your blind date..."

Xiang Kun who was busy in the kitchen still said without looking back: "Go to the living room, don't block the door!"

Tang Baona spit out her tongue and whispered: "So fierce!" But he went back to the living room with Yang Zhen'er.

Xia Libing didn't leave. He stuck his head into the kitchen and asked, "Can I use your computer?"

"No! Play with your own phone! The WIFI password is *****, and dinner will be soon!"

Xiang Kun was right. He said 15 minutes, which is almost 15 minutes.

After the last dish and a pot of soup were prepared, he did not immediately bring it to the living room. Instead, he put it into two smaller plates and soup pots, and then asked Xia Libing to help him open the door and hold the tray with one hand. , Holding a basin in one hand, went out.

"Where is he going?" Yang Zhener and Tang Baona both followed out curiously.

Then I saw Xiang Kun went to 706, where a chubby little girl was waiting for him with the door open and happily welcomed him into the room.

"What's the situation? Did he open the second battlefield?..." Yang Zhener blinked and looked back at his friend.

"You ask me who do I ask?" Tang Baona shrugged.

However, after ten seconds, Xiang Kun walked out of 706. The plates and pots were gone, instead he came out with the inner pot of the rice cooker.

Tang Baona and Yang Zhen'er immediately understood that this was a meal for rice. Judging from the performance of the little girl in 706, it is estimated that Xiang Kun had already agreed with their family before.

"Eating!" Xiang Kun said to the three women as he walked into the house with a pot of rice.

After bringing out one dish and one soup from the kitchen, and then removing the stainless steel basin covered on the three dishes on the table, the lineup of four dishes and one soup was presented to the three women.

Tang Baona looked a little startled, and murmured: "It's all meat..."

The four dishes are all meat, and even the only soup is beef soup.

However, the four dishes are all delicious, delicious, and appetizing.

Xiang Kun directly made a bowl of rice for them, then scooped a bit of beef soup in the soup bowl, and then took out a drink from the refrigerator to distribute it. Of course, he only had a glass of water in front of him-although he would not drink it. .

Xia Libing was not welcome, and put a piece of crispy pork knuckle into the bowl with chopsticks and started eating.

It is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, sweet and not greasy. It tastes very good indeed. It is really not inferior to those made in restaurants outside, but is it really something beginners can make?

Xiang Kun said before that he just started to learn how to cook. Is that a lie?

Xia Libing looked up and glanced suspiciously at Xiang Kun.

But I saw that Xiang Kun was also observing her, and when she saw her, she asked, "How does it taste?"

She hadn't answered yet. Tang Baona, who had tasted curry beef and fried chicken with sauce, couldn't help but said: "Xiang Kun, you really made this yourself? Wouldn't it be bought from outside?"

Xiang Kun supported his glasses with the knuckle of his right index finger and smiled satisfied: "It seems that I am quite talented in cooking. I might not be able to stay here in the future, so I went back to my hometown to open a small restaurant. It opens when you are in a good mood, and goes fishing in the mountains when you are in a bad mood..."

Yang Zhen'er also sighed: "Xiang Kun, honestly explain, are you the Shaolin Temple clerk sneaking down the mountain to become a programmer... Is it really like the saying that programmers who do not know kung fu are not good cooks? Oh, but what kind of meat is your plate? I thought it was chicken, but it didn’t taste like..."

As she was talking, she suddenly thought of something, her eyes widened, she looked in the direction of the kitchen, and muttered, "Xiang Kun, where is your rabbit?"

Xiang Kun pointed to the balcony: "I moved there."

"Huh~" Yang Zhener breathed a sigh of relief: "What kind of meat is this then? Duck meat?"

"Rabbit meat." Xiang Kun said: "I think it is enough to kill one. Anyway, there are so many dishes. Don't worry, the one just killed today is absolutely fresh." He still sighed in his heart. This is his number one. This time is not to kill rabbits to drink blood.When dealing with rabbit meat in the morning, I was really struggling and almost couldn't help drinking blood.

Yang Zhen'er opened her mouth again, looked at the balcony, and then at the plate of dry pot rabbit meat on the table. After hesitating for dozens of seconds, she finally said nothing.

Tang Baona, who was watching next to him, almost didn't laugh, and couldn't help asking: "Really, is rabbit meat delicious?"

Yang Zhen'er gave her a blank look and didn't reply, but after thinking about it, she picked up another piece of rabbit meat in the dry pot in front of her - she didn't expect the rabbit meat to be so delicious.I thought that if I knew that I was eating rabbit meat, I would have a psychological barrier and would not be able to eat it... But it seems that I underestimated the hardness of my heart...

Seeing the three of them eating happily, Xiang Kun felt quite satisfied, like a junior high school using VB to compile a fortune-telling software to make his classmates enjoy themselves.

He also slowly caught a piece of rabbit meat and poured it into his mouth, but he seemed to be chewing, but actually only held it in his mouth, and then directly swallowed the whole piece forcibly.

Although he found an excuse not to eat, it is indeed weird that he does not eat a bite of such a large table of dishes.

He has previously determined through experiments that after the pebbles are swallowed in the stomach in advance, if the whole piece of solid food is eaten, if the total weight is about 200g, it will not affect the feeling of the stone and can use it. This kind of sensation suppresses the occurrence of vomiting.

He had secretly swallowed the stones before bringing out the last two dishes.

As long as you don't drink water, don't drink soup, eat a few pieces of meat and swallow it, there is no problem.

Of course, this process is still very uncomfortable and painful, and the stomach is always fighting and accepting punishment.

However, if I go home to cook for my parents in the future, this situation will always be rehearsed.
