Chapter 14 Cooking
Chapter 14 Cooking
When the setting sun slowly poured into the study room, and the dusky twilight gradually darkened the sky, Lin Qi rubbed his tired brows, pulled his eyes away from the book, and saw when he didn't know when, his The leg was inserted between Jiang Qiujin's legs, Jiang Qiujin's calf was against his calf, and when he looked up, Jiang Qiujin's face was stained with a ray of light, as if he had been dyed with a ray of light. There was a faint warmth, a few disorganized clouds floating outside the window, all he could see were boring buildings, the left and right were nothing more than ordinary scenery, Jiang Qiujin was the only one who caught his eyes.
At this moment, Lin Xi's heart softened a little. He put away his books, stepped out of the bay window lightly, and turned on the light.
Jiang Qiuji was not used to the cold light for a while, so he squinted his eyes and looked at Lin Qi.
"Reading in the dark hurts your eyes." Lin Qi smiled at him, "After reading all afternoon, come out and watch me cook?"
The temptation was too great, Jiang Qiu nodded, put the book away, and walked towards him.
Lin Qi looked at the ingredients in the refrigerator, quickly organized a feasible menu in his head, and asked Jiang Qiujin's opinion: "In addition to tomato scrambled eggs, how about making enoki mushroom Japanese tofu stew, king oyster mushroom fried meat, and cola chicken wings? "
Lin Qi is actually very tolerant and accepting of cooking, and he eats as the Romans do, so Aunt Chen, who is in charge of taking care of him after returning to China, mostly cooks Chinese food.
Jiang Qiu likes to eat fungi, his eyes lit up when he heard the menu: "You know how to cook?"
Lin Qi shook his phone, "If you don't know how to do it, you can check the recipe and follow along."
Jiang Qiujin: "..." =_=
Jiang Qiujin stood in front of the bar, eager to try: "Let me help you."
Lin Xi put on his apron and thought for a while: "Look up the recipe and instruct me to make it."
Jiang Qiu nodded, took out a pen and paper, checked the recipe with his mobile phone, and jotted down the steps that could be done at the same time.
When Lin Xi finished cleaning the cooking utensils, he also finished collecting the recipes.
"Prepare the ingredients first, you take out all the things you need." Jiang Qiujin issued the first order.
Lin Qi laughed when he heard the words: "Decree!"
"First wash... all the ingredients, cut the ingredients and set aside, cut the pork into thin slices, cut the chicken wings, cut the Japanese tofu into cubes, cut the tomatoes into cubes, sliced the king oyster mushrooms, diced the peppers, and prepared some green onions, ginger and garlic. "Jiang Qiujin put down his notebook, "I'll wash the vegetables for you...you are in charge of cutting."
Although Jiang Qiujin hasn't talked to others for a long time, he doesn't stutter now, but he speaks very slowly and his voice is a little hoarse.
"Okay." Lin Qi followed suit.
Jiang Qiujin wore gloves, and washed the vegetables very carefully. Although Lin Xi was not very good at cooking home-cooked dishes, cutting vegetables was still a piece of cake. After taking the tomatoes Jiang Qiujin handed over, he cut them in half and removed the stalks, neatly. Cut it into pieces of suitable size, handed a piece to Jiang Qiujin's mouth, Jiang Qiujin opened his mouth to eat without looking at it, the tip of his tongue brushed against Lin Qi's fingertips, Lin Qi's hand holding the knife trembled .
The two cooperated very well, and in a short while, all the ingredients were cut, and the plates were neatly stacked on the counter.
"Now marinate pork and chicken wings. Pork should be marinated with cooking wine, salt, chicken essence, soy sauce, starch, and oil. The recipe doesn't say how much to use. You can use it yourself." Jiang Qiujin looked at the notes , "For chicken wings... use 20 grams of cooking wine, 15 grams of light soy sauce, 2 grams of salt, and marinate for 20 minutes each."
Lin Xi followed the prompts, put in the seasoning according to his feeling, took off his gloves after grasping it evenly, and asked Jiang Qiujin: "And then?"
"While waiting for 20 minutes to marinate, you can make enoki mushroom tofu stew and tomato scrambled eggs." Jiang Qiujin handed Lin Xi another pair of gloves, "Let's make tofu stew first."
"Put minced ginger and minced garlic in a hot oil pan until fragrant..."
"Hey! You wait for the pot to run out of water before adding oil!"
"Be careful!!"
"Lin Qi!! Put cooking wine in the eggs!"
Just like that, Jiang Qiu gave an order, Lin Xi made a move, and by the time dinner was finished, it was already dark outside the window.
It took more than an hour to cook this meal. They closed the glass door and only opened the window because they were afraid of the smell of oily smoke coming into the living room. There was still a little ketchup on Lin Xi's face.
Fortunately, the appearance of the dishes looks quite good. Wearing thick gloves, Lin Qi carefully placed the tofu pot in the casserole on the dining table, watching the four delicious dishes that the two of them worked together to complete. , Both of them felt a sense of accomplishment in their hearts.
"Lin Qi..." Jiang Qiujin suddenly asked suspiciously, "Do you feel that we are missing something?"
Lin Qi frowned: "When you say that... I also feel that... something is missing."
The two thought hard for a while, and suddenly realized, they looked at each other, and said in unison: "Dinner!"
Jiang Qiujin felt a little annoyed: "We forgot to cook..."
Lin Xi took off his gloves and apron: "I'll go downstairs and pack two meals, you eat first."
Jiang Qiujin stood up: "I'll go with you."
Lin Xi didn't refute him, and covered the dish: "Let's go."
Fearing that the food would get cold after too long a delay, the two of them went out after changing their slippers.
The greening of Enning Garden is very good. There are a lot of flowers blooming in the courtyard. Among them, there are many oleanders, which bloom the most. The pale pink flowers are lightly falling on the branches, and they look like clusters of misty fog under the moonlight. The leaf shadows are uneven, the flower shadows are blurred, and the strong fragrance floats in the air, making this summer night a bit intriguing.
The streetlights were a bit dim, pedestrians walked side by side on the wide road in twos and threes, their shadows were stretched one by one, and one by one, when they passed by the field of oleanders, Lin Xi grabbed Jiang Qiujin's wrist.
Jiang Qiu looked at him without knowing why.
Lin Qi curled his lips and smiled happily: "I don't know the road here, I have to hold your hand, otherwise what if you get lost?"
Jiang Qiu's ears turned red quietly, he was a little awkward, and said in a low voice: "I won't lose it."
Lin Xi held his hand tightly, with a smile in his tone: "That's hard to say, it's more reassuring to hold him."
Jiang Qiu didn't answer him at all, pointing to his feet: "Does your... ankle... still hurt?"
Lin Xi didn't expect that he still remembered his injury, his heart skipped a beat, his chest felt warm, and he couldn't help teasing him: "Your heart hurts?"
Jiang Qiujin looked down at his toes, bit his lower lip, and dared not speak any more.
When the two returned home, the food was still warm. Lin Qi filled a bowl with rice and placed it in front of Jiang Qiujin: "Eat quickly."
As expected, the dishes made by Lin Qi tasted very ordinary, but the two ate with great relish.
Jiang Qiujin's self-control is very good, and he went to the study to review immediately after taking a shower.It's a pity that he doesn't know how to take care of himself, his hair is still wet, and he sits in front of the desk covered in moisture. In the end, Lin Xi half-forced his hair to dry. hugged to bed.
Jiang Qiujin had a dream that night that the dryad used vines to hang him on a tree. He felt out of breath all the time, but when he woke up the next day, he saw Lin Qi holding himself tight like an octopus with both hands and feet. Cuddled in my arms, I slept peacefully.
I don't know where the quilt was squeezed.
Although he was not as nervous as yesterday, Jiang Qiujin still felt a little uncomfortable, stuck in Lin Xi's arms, not daring to make any movements, and unconsciously relaxed his breathing.
Jiang Qiujin slowly relaxed, and not long after, he fell asleep again.
When he woke up again, Lin Qi was no longer by his side, Jiang Qiujin stared at the empty bed in a daze, and rubbed his face.
Why... When I woke up, I didn't see Lin Qi for the first time, so I felt a little empty in my heart?
After hearing a slight sound outside, Jiang Qiujin scratched his hair, walked to the bedroom door, and poked his head out cautiously.
Lin lives in the kitchen.
As soon as I stepped out of the room, I could smell the fragrance. The bedroom was a little far away from the kitchen. Jiang Qiujin was lying on the door frame, watching Lin Xi's busy back, feeling warm in his heart. From the corner of his eye, he saw Lin Qi's schoolbag on the sofa. Jian immediately raised the corners of his lips happily, and went back to the main guard to wash up.
Jiang Qiu thought that Lin Xi would be busy for a long time, but he hadn't finished washing his face when footsteps came from outside.
"Little brother~~" Lin Qi lengthened the ending, "Little brother...are you still sleeping?"
Following the sound of water, Lin Xi walked to the door of the main guard, strode forward and hugged Jiang Qiujin's waist, and said with a light smile, "I found you."
Jiang Qiujin was wiping his face with a towel, he struggled a few times, and was hugged even tighter by Lin Qi.
"You, you let go..." Jiang Qiujin gripped the towel and said helplessly, "I'm ticklish..."
Lin Qi laughed for a while before letting him go: "I bought breakfast, let's go out to eat, I put your key on the coffee table."
Jiang Qiu rubbed his burning ears and nodded sullenly: "Okay."
"Why are your ears so red?" Lin Xi asked suspiciously.
Jiang Qiu turned his face away uncomfortably, and said awkwardly: "It's hot to wash your face."
"Ah...be careful next time," Lin Xi put his hands on his ears and smiled, "My hands are cold, let me try to cool you down physically."
Jiang Qiujin's half-closed eyes opened all at once because of Lin Qi's movements, and he stared blankly at Lin Qi, his face blushing quickly.
From the ear came the cool touch of Lin Qi's fingertips, his ice-jade fingers were pinching the tip of his ear, and the side of his hand was rubbing against his temple...
"Why are your ears getting hotter and hotter?" Lin Xi asked suspiciously, "And your face is also red, could it be a fever?"
"Maybe...maybe...the ventilation here is not good." Jiang Qiu bowed his head, his voice was a little unnatural, "It's too stuffy."
Lin Xi looked at the open blinds in the bathroom, the curtains were gently fluttering in the wind...
Ventilation, poor ventilation?
Lin Xi nodded amusedly: "Well...then let's go out."
He didn't let go of his hand at all.
Jiang Qiu broke his hand and said anxiously: "You, you let go first!"
Lin Xi held Lin Xi's wrist with his backhand, and teased: "You beg me with a soft voice, and I will let go."
Jiang Qiujin's face turned red again, he stiffened his neck and said stumblingly, "Impossible."
Lin Xi frowned: "Why is it impossible?"
Lin Xi didn't know why, he just said something flirtatious casually, but when he heard Jiang Qiujin's serious refusal, he felt a little sour.
Jiang Qiu shook his head persistently: "I can't beg you."
Jiang Qiujin was about to speak, but Lin Xi let go of his hand in disappointment, and said in a deep voice, "Forget it."
From the corner of his eye, he glanced at Jiang Qiujin's red wrist, and his heart softened again, and he said lightly, "Go out for breakfast, if you don't eat it, it will be cold."
Sensing Lin Qi's lack of interest, Jiang Qiujin had no choice but to agree softly: "Okay..."
