At around ten o'clock in the morning, Xu Xinghe woke up from the bed in a daze.
I had no dreams all night and slept soundly.
He didn't get up directly, but held his breath, opened his eyes a little, and looked to the side quietly.
His new husband has disappeared.
Instead, Xiao Qi lay on Marshal Ling's bed last night, and sweetly "meowed" at him.
Xu Xinghe heaved a sigh of relief, turned over and sat up: "Morning, Xiaoqi, did you rest well last night?"
"Meow~" Xiao Qi stretched her waist, looking in a good mood.
"Oh yes! Did I forget to add cat food to you last night?"
Xu Xinghe suddenly remembered this important matter, quickly jumped out of bed, and rushed to the cat food bowl in three steps at a time: "Why didn't you call me? Are you hungry..."
Before the words fell, he suddenly opened his eyes wide.
The cat food bowl is full of food!
Looking back at Xiao Qi, the latter followed behind him unhurriedly, wagging his tail leisurely, already looking satiated.
Xu Xinghe: "???"
When I was taking a bath last night, I was still thinking about getting cat food for Xiaoqi, but Marshal Ling came to visit unexpectedly and made him forget about it.
Xu Xinghe looked down at the full cat food bowl, and asked Xiao Qi blankly: "Who added the cat food for you?"
It can't be Marshal Ling, right? ? He is such a busy man who still gets up to read documents after three o'clock in the morning. Does he still have the time to help feed the cat
The only answer to him was Ms. Xiaoqi's meowing.
"Forget it, you're fine if you're not hungry." Xu Xinghe muttered a few words, then didn't think any more, turned around and went to wash up.
He is currently on a wedding holiday, and he doesn't have to go to work in the ark, so he has a lot of free time every day.
"What are you doing today..." Xu Xinghe lowered his head and said to Xiao Qi while brushing his teeth, "I don't seem to be cooking for a few days, why don't you go to the kitchen for a while? I'll make you some cat biscuits by the way."
"Meow~!" Xiao Qi listened to the cat biscuits, her big blue eyes sparkled, she stepped forward and rubbed Xu Xinghe's trousers, then raised her head and licked her mouth expectantly.
Cooking food is one of Xu Xinghe's great hobbies. When he lived alone, he would often cook for himself and his friends. He would also collect some precious ancient recipes for reproduction. His cooking skills have been widely acclaimed.
It wasn't until I went to Mu's house a year ago that I had to put this interest on hold for a while due to limited conditions.
I don't know that it's not convenient to cook above the Marshal's Mansion...
Xu Xinghe walked out of the bedroom, and casually called a passing orderly: "Hello, where is the kitchen?"
"Morning, Mr. Xu." The orderly stopped, "Do you want to have breakfast? Please wait a moment, we will send you to your room."
Xu Xinghe waved his hand and said, "No, no, I want to cook something for myself. If it's convenient, can you take me to the kitchen?"
The orderly froze.
do it yourself
In the interstellar era, with the popularity of various nutritional supplements and domestic robots, few people will cook food by themselves. The young Marshal's wife in front of her said she wanted to cook herself
He hesitated for a moment, and went to ask the steward for instructions. Although the latter was also slightly surprised, he felt that there was no need to reject the marshal's wife who had just started because of such a trivial matter, so he asked the orderly to take him there.
Guided by the orderly, Xu Xinghe came to the kitchen on the first floor of the Marshal's Mansion.
What he didn't expect was that the back kitchen of the entire handsome mansion was empty. Although all kinds of equipment are well-equipped, there are no fresh ingredients on the countertops, some commonly used kitchen utensils are also placed in the corners, and the body of the kitchen and bathroom robot is even covered with a layer of dust.
"Marshal doesn't usually eat at the residence?" Xu Xinghe asked.
The orderly replied: "Our marshal relies on nutritional supplements for three meals a day, and rarely eats natural food, so there is no full-time chef in the mansion. However, if you need, we can hire a professional chef to take care of your diet."
"Don't bother." Xu Xinghe waved his hand, "I can make it myself when I want to eat."
The orderly smiled and said: "Our kitchen was not used by anyone before, and now we are restarting operations to welcome you. Fresh ingredients will be delivered later, and the ingredients in the freezer and the kitchen and bathroom robots in the background are yours. You can also use it as you like, and you can tell us what you want to eat at any time, and we will try our best to satisfy."
"Thank you, I really don't need it." Hearing what he said, Xu Xinghe was a little flattered. This was really different from how he was treated in the Mu family.
"By the way, what's your name?" Xu Xinghe asked.
The young orderly on the opposite side was stunned: "My name is Langdon."
Xu Xinghe smiled at him: "Langdon, you go and take care of your own business first, just leave it to me here."
After that, he turned and walked into the freezer in the kitchen.
Originally, he didn't have much hope for the stock in the freezer, he just wanted to see if there was anything Xiao Qi could eat, but he was surprised to find that there were several shelves full of various meats inside. There are not only beef, venison, rabbit and other frozen meats, but also seafood such as mussels, cod, salmon and blue lobster.
Didn't it mean that Marshal only takes nutritional supplements? Why are there so many seafood and raw meat in the freezer
Xu Xinghe was not polite, he picked up a few boxes of meat and seafood and went out.
As soon as he walked out of the freezer, he heard a conversation between two young men outside the door: "Is he going to feed the marshal?"
"This is not nonsense, but it's a pity that the horse's ass was slapped on the horse's leg-our marshal is not interested in eating at all."
Xu Xinghe: "..."
I'm sorry, but I don't have the title of your marshal.
He looked up and saw two young men in orderly uniforms walking over, talking and laughing, followed by a one-meter-tall cargo robot with baskets full of various ingredients.
The two of them didn't realize that there was someone in the kitchen, and they were still chatting on their own.
"I don't know if he cooks well or not."
"A man of science and engineering, how good is his cooking skills? The food he cooks must not taste very good."
Xu Xinghe: "???" How did the man in science and engineering offend you!
"I heard that the marshal left his room early this morning, and stayed in the study until now. He just got married and the marshal is unwilling to accompany him. Wouldn't he be strangers in the future?"
Oh? While Xu Xinghe pricked up his ears to eat melons, he thought to himself: "Then I thank him."
"It was also said on the Internet that he was thinking about his ex-husband, but he started cooking for the marshal. It seems that he is not sincere towards General Mu, he is just greedy for power."
"Keep your voice down, York! Have you forgotten what the steward told you? Don't say such things in the mansion from now on."
"What are you afraid of? The rumors outside are much worse. You said that our marshal is such a good Alpha, why was he assigned by the mastermind..."
The sound stops abruptly.
The two came to the door of the kitchen, and when they looked up, they saw Xu Xinghe.
The scene was very embarrassing.
One of the orderlies smiled stiffly at Xu Xinghe, pretending nothing happened: "Good morning, Mr. Xu."
Another orderly named York turned away and said nothing.
Xu Xinghe leaned leisurely on the edge of the stage, his eyes swept over the two of them.
Langdon's enthusiasm just now made him almost forget that this is normal.
For those who can enter the Marshal's Mansion at a young age, the conditions themselves are not too bad.
Some servants of the Mu family have their eyes set high, let alone the Marshal's Mansion.
In the eyes of these people, I am afraid that I am just a lucky one who was selected by the mastermind and has the right to live in the Marshal's Mansion for one year, and will lose this luck after one year.
Therefore, they would not treat themselves as "marshal's wife" at all.
Coincidentally, Xu Xinghe also did not put himself in the position of "marshal's wife".
The difference is that he didn't regard this matching marriage as a kind of "luck" at all. Instead, he felt that he was an unlucky guy who was tricked by the mastermind and had to stay here for a year.
"Leave the things, you go down first."
Xu Xinghe didn't have anything to say to them, his eyes quickly shifted from the two to the ingredients, and his eyes couldn't help but brighten.
The ingredients basket is divided into several layers, which are filled with top-quality steak and seafood, special fresh fruits and vegetables, and dozens of condiments on the bottom layer...
Instantly changed Xu Xinghe's idea of "making something to eat casually".
He walked around the two of them as if no one was there, came to the cargo robot, and stretched out his hand to swipe on the list screen.
Premium filet mignon, prosciutto, black truffle, mushrooms…
As these ingredients came into sight, Xu Xinghe suddenly had a flash of inspiration, thinking of a certain recipe he had seen before, and decided to give it a try.
He first took out the filet mignon, seasoned with sea salt and black pepper, then heated the pan with olive oil, and fried the steak on each side until it was colored; then he melted the butter, stir-fried the mushrooms and minced onions until fragrant, and then added Black truffle and brandy are crushed in a machine to make a thick sauce with rich taste and spread on the surface of the steak; then, use a few slices of prosciutto to roll up the steak with mixed sauce and the tender foie gras Live, wrap cotton thread, put it in the refrigerator to refrigerate and set; finally, mix flour, eggs, butter and other materials to make puff pastry, wrap the puff pastry on the outermost layer of the steak, brush the skin with egg wash, cut flowers...
In this way, a "Wellington steak" is basically completed.
Satisfied, Xu Xinghe put his masterpiece into the oven, and set the time and heat.
Looking at the watch again, it was almost twelve noon.
He was so focused on cooking that he didn't even know when the two orderlies left.
"Next is Ms. Xiaoqi's cat biscuits..."
The process of making cat biscuits is relatively simple. Use a meat grinder to grind all kinds of beef, rabbit meat, fish, shrimp, eggs and other ingredients into puree, then squeeze out the shape of small dried fish on the baking tray, and then put it in The oven starts to bake.
When Xu Xinghe carefully squeezed out rows of small fishcakes on the baking tray and put them in the oven, the Beef Wellington beside him was almost done.
The moment the steak comes out of the oven, the meaty aroma of the beef, the freshness of the ham, and the sweetness of the puff pastry, mixed with the aroma of truffles and mushrooms, instantly fill the entire kitchen.
The intriguing smell floats in the air, making your index finger move and your mouth water.
Even Xu Xinghe himself felt hungry instantly.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a strange meow from behind——
"Meow."
It wasn't Xiaoqi's voice.
Xu Xinghe turned his head in surprise.
I saw a Persian cat with snow-white and soft fur squatting at the door of the kitchen, staring at me intently.
This Persian cat has a pair of beautiful different pupils.
The left eye is golden and the right eye is blue.
Exactly the same as Marshal Ling.
