After returning home from the supermarket, Lou Cheng and Yan Zheke started to get busy. They first planned the "menu" for the two days of Chinese New Year, and then staged fancy programs such as "Mandarin Duck and Two Swords Chop Meat".
"Zizizi", the oil pan was bubbling, Yan Zheke carefully put the pork belly mixed with eggs, starch and other things into it, fried it until golden, took it out, put it into the bowl next to it, and then one was filled with frost mist His hand reached over like lightning, grabbed it, took two bites, and felt the tenderness of the meat.
"Delicious..." Lou Cheng said vaguely, and handed the remaining half to the girl's mouth flatteringly, "Try it."
This is Xiushan's must-have crispy meat for Chinese New Year. The selection of ingredients, ingredients, and method are slightly different from other places. It is more tender and smooth, but it is also easier to get tired of eating. With Lou Cheng's appetite, it is difficult to eat more than ten yuan. It must be "neutralized" with other foods.
The crispy meat is the most delicious when it is just out of the pan. In the past, when the family was not very rich, he would stay by the stove every Chinese New Year and eat a piece until his mouth was full of oil, his stomach became distended, and he started to feel sick, so he reluctantly left. Although Yan Zheke doesn't like things that are too greasy, she doesn't dislike freshly fried crispy meat at all. She can only eat two pieces at most. The attractive aroma and delicious taste are one of the flavors of the year in her hometown.
After the first meal, the crispy meat can be kept in the refrigerator for a long time. Every time Lou Cheng’s mother Qi Fang made tofu and vegetable soup, she liked to put a few pieces, add some oil and gas, and make it more fragrant. At that time, the crispy meat was already Not so tired anymore.
Yan Zheke opened her teeth slightly, lightly took a bite of the crispy meat that Lou Cheng handed over, chewed a bit, raised her eyebrows, and praised herself:
"It's really good!"
This level can be achieved only with the recipe and a few words from the Queen Mother... Please call me Chef Yan~!
She was more confident, picked up other pork belly and put it into the pot, Lou Cheng's eyes were quick and his hands were quick, and he stretched out his palm to block a little splash of oil droplets, eliminating all hidden dangers.
Do it, try it, try it, do it, when the two of them filled the table with dishes, their stomachs were already half full.
"It's so tiring. I don't want to cook by myself when it's not a holiday." Yan Zheke stretched her arms, half proud and half sighing.
Lou Cheng immediately stretched out his hand to help her massage, and said with a smile: "Yes, we will hire an aunt who can cook in the future. We have a whim, and we will do it ourselves."
"But it's not bad to see you looking for opportunities to steal food from time to time~" Yan Zheke picked up the wine glass filled with fruit juice and stretched it towards Lou Cheng, with dimples outlined, and said with a sweet smile, "Why not?" Our first big meal made by ourselves!"
"Chef Yan, Lou Dunzi!" Lou Cheng also picked up his own glass.
In Xing Province, Dunzi is the second chef in charge of cutting and serving dishes.
Ding dong, the wine glasses touched lightly, the water swayed slightly, the young couple took a sip each, only to feel that the surroundings were quiet, the lighting was soft, and their hearts were warm.
After eating and drinking, Lou Cheng played the main role. Under the disturbance of Yan Zheke, who seemed to be drunk from drinking fruit juice, he struggled to pack up his hands and cleaned up the dining room and kitchen.
Back on the second floor, the two of them lay on the bed, very close to each other, chatting endlessly, occasionally surfing the Internet to find something to talk about, even the time seemed to slow down.
Lou Cheng's cell phone rings from time to time, all of which are congratulations on his birthday from others. Given the fact that China is 12 or 3 hours earlier, he has entered the first day of his 21st year in China, but the young couple is still "stubborn". Waiting for the arrival of zero in Cannes.
At half past eleven, Yan Zheke suddenly stretched out her leg and touched Lou Cheng:
"Cheng Zi, you should go take a bath first."
"It's twelve o'clock soon, we'll go after that." Lou Cheng replied in a daze.
"Go, go, take a shower first! It stinks!" Yan Zheke pushed him out of the bed with hands and feet, with a tooth itching expression on her face.
Is this the rhythm of surprise gifts? Lou Cheng's heart skipped a beat, and he felt that he was really confused just now.
"Okay, okay." He pretended to be helpless and dull, took a change of clothes, left the room, and walked to the bathing place.
After taking two steps, his ears moved slightly, and he heard the sound of the door closing and locking.
Steady! Lou Cheng entered the bathroom with a happy face, rubbed left and right, slowed down the rhythm, and hummed a song.
Twenty minutes later, he walked out in a clean body, returned to the door of the bedroom, stretched out his palm and twisted the handle, and remained motionless.
"Ke Ke?" He knocked on the door and shouted in a confused tone.
"Wait a little longer, wait a little longer..." The girl's voice came out a little hurriedly.
"Okay." Lou Cheng smiled secretly, waited patiently, counted the time silently, scattered his thoughts, and guessed what the gift he was about to receive would be
At 11:59, he heard the clasp unlocked, and heard Yan Zheke take a few steps back.
"Come in." The girl said with a tense voice.
"En." Lou Cheng took a deep breath, grasped the handle, twisted it lightly, and pushed it back, only to see that the room lights were off, the curtains were closed, and the dim candle flame was rippling.
In the darkness and tranquility, Yan Zheke was wearing a white and flowing veil, and a wedding dress that outlined her beautiful curves. Layers of lace were faintly visible, making her as pure and beautiful as an angel descending.
At this moment, she was holding a homemade cream cake with both hands, filled with twenty-one candles, and the fire flickered like a soul.
Seeing Lou Cheng's amazed and stunned face, the girl was a little embarrassed, forgot to say happy birthday, raised her chin and said:
"My custom-made clothes... We haven't even had a wedding photo yet!"
"Yes." Lou Cheng replied with lingering eyes.
Yan Zheke pursed her lips and smiled, looked at the ceiling and said:
"Then sister, please go and take pictures~ Tomorrow, uh, there is no class this afternoon, let's go to Zuohu Pier, to Riverside Park, to Wilson Square, to Adams Garden, to Westminster Building, um, take pictures by yourself!"
"Have you already prepared the strategy?" Lou Cheng asked subconsciously as if he just came back to his senses.
Shouldn't this kind of thing be done by me
"Of course~" Yan Zheke replied with a rising voice, "This is your birthday present! Well, I ordered a full set of suits, shirts, vests, bow ties, belts, shoes... When we return to China during the summer vacation, we will Let’s make Hanfu for the second set... Come on, try it..."
While talking, she turned around and walked towards the closet, as if she wanted to take out the set that belonged to Lou Cheng.
But before she had time to take a step, an arm was wrapped around her waist, and a strong body was pressed against her back, with a slightly scorching breath blowing by her ears.
"We can try again tomorrow..." Lou Cheng said in a low voice.
As expected... You big pervert... Yan Zheke smiled secretly, turned around as if she was prepared, the cake in her hand flew up, and was about to slap a certain gangster in the face, wishing him a happy birthday!
Her turning around and words about trying on clothes just now are all targeted traps!
As soon as she gained momentum, Lou Cheng already noticed it, shook his head amusedly, and chose not to dodge.
Seeing this situation, Yan Zheke's movements slowed down, the cake stopped, and muttered:
“Don't waste food...”
After finishing speaking, she burst into a smile, her eyes were full of water, looked into Lou Cheng's eyes, and whispered:
"Orange, happy birthday~!"
"Huh?" Lou Cheng raised his eyebrows and spoke through his nostrils.
Yan Zheke bit her lower lip lightly, and said again with "shame and anger" eyes:
"Husband, happy birthday..."
Huh, Lou Cheng stretched out his right hand, hugged his daughter-in-law, breathed out, blew out the candle, the room was dark, only the faint light from the window came in.
"Be careful with my clothes!" The lingering sound trembled and echoed, Lou Cheng completely forgot to savor the fact that he was one year older.
...
In the early morning of the next day, Yan Zheke brushed her teeth resentfully, watched the energetic Lou Cheng finish his exercise, went into the bathroom, washed off the sweat on his body, and the word "satisfaction" was written all over his body.
If I don't mind being polite, I said that today is your birthday, and you can do whatever you want, but you actually took it seriously!
Hmph, wait to be honest, why do you know so much!
So-and-so is really tireless in this regard... I don't know what kind of state he will be in when I'm not around him...
In Yan Zheke's endless imagination, the two tidied themselves up, went back to the room, and started video chatting with their parents and elders to congratulate the New Year.
First Yan Kai Ji Mingyu, followed by the two elders of the Ji family and the two elders of the Yan family. When the girl was aroused and finished with red eyes, Lou Cheng summoned her to go over and have a word with her parents.
"Mom, Dad, Keke is here." Lou Cheng reminded with a smile.
"Mom, Dad." Yan Zheke, who was a little dazed and sentimental, called out, and then she woke up suddenly, blushing, resisting the urge to turn around and run away, and added with her lips, "" Uncle, aunt..."
The three members of Lou's family laughed openly, instead of teasing this matter, they chatted about other topics. Yan Zheke listened with a gentle smile, while reaching behind Lou Cheng's back, twisting and twisting , but they were so soft-hearted that they never tried hard.
In a cheerful atmosphere, the young couple started a new day. First, they went to class and listened to lectures, then went to dine near the Zuohu Pier, and had a date for taking selfie wedding photos. They left pictures that were not skillful but full of memories. and stored in their minds.
In the evening, the tired (only Yan Zheke) but excited two returned home and cooked another table of New Year's Eve dishes, which were swept away like a storm.
Afterwards they huddled together and waited for the zero point of Cannes again.
At some point, Yan Zheke fell into a deep sleep, Lou Cheng looked sideways with a smile in his eyes.
Nearly early in the morning, he woke up the girl, shook his left hand, and sprinkled crystals all over the sky, and every crystal contained a little fire, without exception!
"New Year's Eve! Fire the cannons!" Lou Cheng yelled in a low voice, smiling all over his face, the next national competition and the professional circle that he would join in the second half of the year flashed through his mind.
Yan Zheke stared blankly, her eyes filled with brilliance and brilliance.
A new year, a new beginning, but we're not alone anymore.
