It is said that there are friends coming. Lin Luoran's situation was not good before, and many classmates hadn't had much contact with each other. To inform others at this time, it feels like showing off, so it is actually Baojia and Sister Wang who are coming.
But the one behind Baojia, the man in the straight suit and the gold-rimmed glasses, wasn't Liu Zheng
Both Lin's father and Lin's mother have met Baojia, and they know that she is good to Lin Luoran, and they like Baojia very much. But seeing Liu Zheng being so gentle and refined, obviously not in the same class as them, he felt a little restrained.
Fortunately, Fatty Cui didn't come today, otherwise the gold necklace on his neck would be too dazzling. Although Wang Miao'e is rich, but looking black and strong, with the high-end fashion on her body, she really likes Mama Lin, as if she is from a different country.
Liu Zheng brought two big bags of presents, called "Uncle" and "Auntie", gentle and elegant, which caused Second Aunt Li to sigh to Mama Lin behind her back, "Xiao Ran is amazing now, and all the people she associates with are people of status."
Comparing your heart to your heart, no matter how good the relationship is, if Lin's mother saw that Second Aunt Li's family suddenly became rich, she would feel a little awkward, so she patted Second Aunt Li: "What did you say, no matter how important she is, don't shout Your second aunt?"
With that said, Second Aunt Li started picking vegetables with peace of mind.
Liu Zheng is not a person who breaks his mouth. Seeing such an exquisite house at this time, sitting in the living room drinking tea, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly: "I live in a house of 20 million yuan and receive a salary of several thousand from Zhenbaoxuan. , This is a publicity for us, if you want to think about it, sister Lin Dakuan, we can also hype it together."
Seeing Lin Luoran blushing, Baojia slapped Liu Zheng: "Young Master Liu, you have quite a lot of mansions, I've never been so hostile to you!"
Liu Zheng stopped talking about this, and instead talked about business matters with Wang Miao'e. Originally the Fumanlou family was the only one in the province, but since the Liu family settled in, they have gradually formed alliances with retail investors like Wang Miao'e and Fatty Cui, so they have a lot of business contacts, but they can talk about one place.
Seeing them discussing business, Baojia dragged Lin Luoran to help in the kitchen. As for Lin's father, he had a dull temper and was afraid of embarrassing his daughter by saying the wrong thing, so he took Luo Dong to go fishing in the backyard.
Needless to say, the vegetables are all from Lin Luoran's space. They are freshly picked and cooked. They are extremely fresh. The beef and ribs were bought by Baojia, while Sister Wang brought a case of wine, which was in line with her style of work.
Baojia is not the charming lady who does not touch the spring water with her ten fingers. She can wash rice and pick vegetables, and even some simple dishes.
When Lin Luoran and the others went, Lin's mother was collecting the juice for the braised pork. The lean meat was soft and the fatty meat was shiny but not greasy. It was Lin's mother's specialty. Lin Luoran's family conditions were not good when she was a child. Such a bowl of braised pork can only be eaten during festivals.
Liu Zheng, Bao Jia, and Sister Wang, which one didn't grow up accustomed to fine dishes in the city? Lin Luoran was afraid that they would not be used to Mama Lin's greasy dishes, so she asked Mama Lin to rest for a while and prepared to cook two more dishes by herself.
Baojia was not polite, and "stealed" a piece of braised pork, screamed from the heat, and even gave Lin Ma a thumbs up, which made Lin Ma, who was deprived of the cooking right and was still a little disappointed, burst out laughing.
Lin Luoran took two Chinese cabbage grown in the space, cut only the tender part in the middle into thin strips, steamed them in water, poured sour and refreshing sauce, and made a refreshing Chinese cabbage, like topaz The fine-textured cabbage heart, dotted with two coriander leaves, is pleasing to the eye.
As for the useless leaves, Baojia volunteered, chopped them up with the knife, and ran to feed the koi.
The koi, which were too lazy to feed the fish because they were too fat, smelled the smell of space cabbage leaves and fought like crazy. Baojia bluffed, causing Second Aunt Li to go out to watch the excitement.
Only Lin Luoran and Lin's mother were left in the kitchen. Lin's mother looked at the direction of the living room, and quietly pulled Lin Luoran to ask what relationship Liu Zheng had with her.
Lin Luoran was sweating coldly on his forehead, and repeatedly explained that they were just ordinary friends. Lin's mother seemed to believe it or not, she lowered her head and chopped ribs in a muffled voice.
Lin Luoran helplessly brushed his forehead, and only told Mama Lin that Liu Zheng was Baojia's fiancé, Mama Lin believed that they were okay. It's just that Lin Luoran has good hearing, and she heard Mama Lin muttering "It's a pity", God knows what she is pitying.
When Baojia and Second Aunt Li came back from feeding the fish, Lin Luodong bounced back to the kitchen, holding a big silver carp weighing two or three catties in his hand, Xiaozheng's little face flushed with excitement, and he looked at Lin Luoran.
Father Lin was fishing in the back garden, Lin Luoran asked gently: "Did you catch it?"
Mrs. Xiaozheng nodded: "Father Lin!"
It's not easy for him to be able to speak to people, and Lin Luoran doesn't force him, as long as he can understand the meaning. It seemed that Dad Lin caught this fish. The water in the pond was relatively clear, so he didn't know there was such a big silver carp hidden there.
Seeing that the silver carp caught by Xiao Luodong was slippery and struggling, Lin Luoran took it with a basin and said to Mama Lin: "It seems that there are still a lot of stocks in the pond. Someday we will drain the water. , grab it slowly!"
Baojia nodded, "You must call me when you catch fish, haha."
Lin Luoran spit at her: "You are still a young lady, and I am more excited than anyone else when I hear this!"
Queen Baojia made a gesture to scratch her, which made Mama Lin and Second Aunt Li laugh without saying a word, even Lin Luodong had a smile on her face.
Lin Ma looked at the big silver carp and was in a dilemma: "Unfortunately, it is a silver carp. The fishy smell is too strong, otherwise it can be steamed."
Lin Luoran pressed Mama Lin's shoulder: "Go and rest, and watch me make silver carp hot pot, make sure there is no fishy smell!"
When Second Aunt Li heard that she was going to do this, she quickly killed the fish, chopped it into thick slices, and put it in water made with white wine, refined salt, pepper, balsamic vinegar, ginger and spring onions to remove the fishy smell. Lin Luoran Two more spoonfuls of beer were added.
Baojia was amazed by the crowd, and stretched his neck to prepare to learn a special dish. Even Lin Luodong looked at it without blinking his eyes, which made Lin Luoran think to himself, could this be a boy who loves to cook
Seeing that Baojia wanted to learn, he fished out the fish that had been soaked for two minutes and instructed her to taste it.
Second Aunt Li smiled and said "how could she?" while cracking an egg, only the egg white was beaten on the fish, and seasoning was added at the same time.
Baojia finally got a stirring job, and he enjoyed stirring with a pair of long chopsticks. Seeing that Lin Luodong was interested, he handed the chopsticks to him again. Both of them were very excited.
Lin Luoran cut up a large plate of pickled ginger, pickled peppers, and sauerkraut for later use, put lard and vegetable oil and sautéed it until fragrant, then poured sauerkraut and various ingredients, put millet chili rings, and finally mixed it with fresh soup.
When the soup boils, the silver carp can be served after cooking for 3 minutes. Sprinkle some coriander and chopped green onion, and the aroma will make your index finger move.
On the table.
Wang Miao'e saw that the dishes were all set up, and pointed to a plate of cold tomatoes, "Is this also the taste you brought to my house?"
Lin Luoran nodded, and Wang Miao'e concentrated on the plate of tomatoes in front of her.
Baojia was biting the cabbage in his mouth, and his eyes were still fixed on the silver carp hot pot. Second Aunt Li watched everyone greet the materials, and while eating braised pork, she thought, but the people in this city are weird, they only eat vegetarian food and don't eat meat.
Eh, no, why is the second elder of the Lin family also a vegetarian? Second Aunt Li tried to pick up a chopstick of stir-fried spinach, the crispy and sweet taste made Second Aunt Li give up her braised pork in an instant, and the chopsticks never stopped.
This Lin family's vegetarian dishes are so delicious! Second Aunt Li had only this idea in her head.
After dinner, Second Aunt Li was going back tomorrow, so Lin Luoran went to see Liu Zheng and the others off.
Wang Miao'e is a type of action, full of food and drink, holding a pile of vegetables, and leaving as soon as she stepped on the gas pedal, she has long since disappeared.
Although the city of R in winter is not as good as the north where dripping water turns into ice, the wind is cold at night like this. Liu Zheng opened the car door, as if he just remembered something, he held the door and asked, "I heard Madam Cui said that you are going this time too?"
Lin Luoran was at a loss for a moment, and it took a few seconds to realize that he was talking about the China-Myanmar border trip this time, so he was a little embarrassed. With Liu's salary, she always took time off to do private affairs, and she didn't know how to explain it to Liu Zheng.
"I… "
Liu Zheng seemed to see her embarrassment, and said with a smile, "I saw that you are very interested in gambling stones, and Mrs. Cui also said that you are talented, why don't you turn from a teller to a material procurement consultant, and the salary is also a basic salary plus a commission. How?" In fact, Wang Miao'e's original words were that Lin Luoran is the God of Wealth who spits out dollars, and it's a shame to be lucky, and it's a pity to use nothing.
Lin Luoran also felt that as she became more and more busy, the work of jewelry and jade sales was too inflexible, and it was not suitable for her anymore. She just couldn't bear the aura that Zhenbaoxuan didn't need money for her. At this time, Liu Zheng If so, then everyone is happy.
She only needs to pick some rough stones every time she goes to the scene, not to be too outstanding, and not to make Liu's lose money, so she has a legitimate excuse to absorb spiritual energy everywhere, which is very suitable for her. This is what comes to mind, how could Lin Luoran refuse, and naturally nodded in agreement with Liu Zheng's opinion.
"Is Baojia going?"
Baojia was wearing a thick cotton padded jacket, still stomping his feet from the cold, and his teeth kept chattering: "I'm not going, I'm going to the imperial capital with my grandfather in two days, and I don't know when I'll be back!"
Her Majesty the Queen sucked her nose in an unsightly way, and laughed twice: "You have to help me keep a close eye on Liu Zheng, lest he fall in love with Yunnan girl, it is best to take care of her personally."
In a word, Liu Zheng pushed his glasses and Lin Luoran looked up at the sky, gave her a sideways glance, and went back.
Don't mention how Lin Luoran will explain to Lin's father and Lin's mother how she can afford such a big house when she goes back, just say that Liu Zheng and Baojia are on the way, Baojia's eyes are sharp, and seeing a smile on the corner of his mouth, she pursed her mouth A faint sentence:
"If you like someone, you should tell them earlier. Reserved people don't even drink soup!"
Surprised, Liu Zheng slammed on the brakes and almost hit the guardrail on the side of the road. After a shock, Baojia didn't expect that a casual word from him would have such power, so he shrank his neck and stopped talking.
Liu Zheng stared at her, trying to explain something, but didn't know where to start.
