"Hmm~"
The big hand full of heat dissipated the coolness of the sunscreen, and the sudden temperature change made Eriyi let out a loud squeak unprepared.
The girl's reaction made Lu Chen at a loss. He thought he had done something wrong again, and asked with some anxiety: "Did I hurt you?"
Lu Chen's brain was basically shut down, wondering if he accidentally used too much force
Erika shook her head gently again, her head lowered, and in the blind spot that the boy couldn't see, her cheeks were stained with a touching blush.
Lu Chen calmed down slightly, and moved his hands on Eryi's back. He silently recited all the martial arts techniques he had learned over the years, and for a while he gradually became calmer.
The girl's glazed eyes were gleaming with water, and her cherry blossom-like lips were open and biting the back of her hand. She seemed to be affecting Godzilla, and she had to hold back.
Those hands full of heat traced every inch of skin on the girl's back, but there still seemed to be a surplus of sunscreen oil, so they continued downward and traced the long legs that were as smooth as jade and as warm as jade.
"call-"
After doing all this, Lu Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief and completed this difficult project. He felt that this was even more thrilling than a battle with the next generation.
"Okay, I applied it evenly and I will definitely not let Eri get sunburned."
Lu Chen said with some satisfaction that he was still confident in his own methods.
However, Eriki did not get up immediately. She still buried her head in the sand pit, which for a moment was reminiscent of an ostrich with its head stuck in a hole.
She didn't know why, but she didn't want to get up and face Godzilla at this moment. There seemed to be a naughty deer beating in her chest, as if running in a natural jungle.
After about half a minute, Eriyi stood up, still wearing her trademark cute expression, but the blush on her cheeks didn't seem to have completely disappeared.
"Here - take care of the rest of Eriki yourself."
Lu Chen handed the small bottle with a lot of it left to Eri Yi. Even with his strong nerves, he knew that it seemed a little inappropriate to approach it from the front. He felt that it might be a more difficult battle.
Eriki nodded, she could still take care of this kind of thing.
"I'm going to look for any small animals again."
Lu Chen turned around and dug silently in the sand pit, looking for creatures like little hermit crabs that would never exist given his luck.
Eriyi carefully dropped some sunscreen oil on her hands and smeared it on her body. She didn't want to get tanned.
The girl's bare hands wandered on the smooth skin, and she felt a little strange in her heart. She obviously didn't feel "uncomfortable" when applying it at this moment. What was that weird feeling just now
"Hey - you two, the meatball filling is ready, come and help make it!"
Caesar under the shed waved and shouted to Lu Chen and Eli Yi.
He and Chu Zihang were also wearing Hawaiian pants like Lu Chen. Caesar's strong pectoralis major muscles reflected brightly under the sunlight, which made Lu Chen wonder if he had applied oil on them.
At this time, Chu Zihang was holding a kitchen knife and handling the ingredients accurately. His serious look did not look like a cook, but like a killer thinking about how to kill his target.
On the chopping board was a two-meter-long bluefin tuna, which was caught by Hui Liyi when several people were fishing in the morning. Even Chu Zihang had to sigh this time: "Hui Liyi is so lucky. "
Bluefin tuna is known as the most valuable fish. A fisherman once caught a fish slightly larger than this and sold it for a sky-high price of 20 million.
At that time, Caesar said that even if Eri was not the little princess of the Sheqi Hachi family, she would definitely get rich by going out to sea as a fisherman.
In fact, after putting aside the joy of catching fish for the first time, Eriyi originally wanted to release the big fish when she saw it, but Lu Chen said as soon as he saw the fish: "It's so big. It must look delicious."
Eriyi put away her notebook again...
Caesar wore transparent gloves and kneaded the meat filling made of crab meat, fish meat, and eggs in the basin. He had heard that Japanese meatballs were also considered a local specialty, but when he went to the temple fair with Lu Chen and the others two days ago, After eating various meatballs, I felt average.
When they came to this beach today, Caesar suggested that they do it themselves.
Anyway, idle time is idle, so he and Chu Zihang began to divide the work and cooperate.
Chu Zihang used his exquisite knife skills to process various ingredients, while Caesar used a wall breaker and mixer to make meat fillings.
Another piece of processed fish was thrown from the air. Caesar caught it without looking back, smoothly threw it into the wall-breaking machine, and then continued to knead the stuffing.
If anyone in the college saw this scene, they would probably doubt their lives. They once thought that the student council president and the true president Lionheart, who were diametrically opposed to each other, actually cooperated so well when cooking. They were not so much rivals as they were partners in the kitchen for many years. .
As for Lu Chen…
Caesar originally wanted to invite Brother Lu to cook together. He has always been good at organizing team activities, but when he was about to invite him, Chu Zihang stabbed him in the side with the handle of a kitchen knife. It's time for Brother Lu to intervene.
Putting aside the fact that this reckless man seems unable to do such a delicate job, they should also give Brother Lu and Eriki more personal space.
But after processing the ingredients for a long time, Caesar looked at several large pots of minced meat and realized a problem. Brother Lu's statement about finishing the blue crucian carp tuna seemed to be no joke. According to the current work progress of him and Chu Zihang, they could Not being able to make it in time for dinner is a problem.
So I still have to recruit strong men to help. Forget about the stage where cooking skills are relatively high. It's just a ball. Brother Lu should be fine, right
Lu Chen held Eri Yi's hand and walked across the beach towards the shed.
Holding hands... didn't mean anything else, he was just afraid that Eriki would fall.
Duang—
A pot of minced meat was placed in front of Lu Chen and Eri Yi. Caesar handed Eri Yi and Lu Chen a pair of transparent gloves, "Pinch the stuffing out from the tiger's mouth and it will be like a dumpling."
After that, he personally demonstrated, picking up a lump of meat filling from the basin, and with a flick, a round ball slipped out of Caesar's tiger's mouth and rolled onto another prepared plate. Lu Chen watched. Astonished.
It turns out that Brother Caesar is actually a secret chef!
As for him... I have to say that he has never cooked properly in his past life. At most, when fighting in the wild, he would catch some small animals in the jungle, roast them on fire, and sprinkle some salt on them. The taste... it's hard to describe in a word. .
He and Eriyi brought bamboo chairs and sat in a row, looking at the pot of minced meat on the table.
In the end, Lu Chen still felt that he had to set an example first. Men can't say that they can't do it.
"Eriyi, let me show you first and then demonstrate."
Lu Chen said with confidence, putting a lump of minced meat in the palm of his hand. With his control over strength, could he not be able to make a ball
joke!
Five minutes later…
Lu Chen looked at the crooked balls with some embarrassment, why couldn't he
Seeing how easy it was to knead Brother Caesar's balls, he felt that he should be able to do it easily, but the balls he made didn't look good.
Eriyi didn't say anything, she just stretched out her hand like a jade-cut onion to cover her mouth, as if she was snickering. When she put her hand down, her face was expressionless again, as if nothing happened.
"let me try."
Eriyi raised the small book, put on her gloves, and grabbed a ball of minced meat.
Her pretty face had a serious expression, but it was much more serious than her previous "working status". She exerted force with her soft little hands, and the round dumplings came out. The dumplings fell silently on the plate and rolled to the group of crooked people. The companions seemed to be silently laughing at someone's inferior tactics.
Lu Chen smiled awkwardly, and then praised from the bottom of his heart: "Eri is so amazing, she will be a good bride~"
When he trailed off, he seemed to feel that his speech was inappropriate. He just walked through the streets and alleys after leaving the battlefield in his previous life and saw some village women on the roadside praising young girls for their meticulous workmanship. That's how they were praised. , I borrowed it subconsciously.
But when he actually said these words, he felt an inexplicable heat on his face and his heart was beating unsatisfactorily, which made him wonder if the dragon blood crystal he had recently injected had any "stamina"
He secretly glanced at Eri Yi and found that Eri Yi didn't react at all. He just grabbed another ball of meat filling and continued to knead the balls. Then he felt relieved.
The sunlight shifted and the coolness fell, as if it had put a mysterious veil on the girl, blocking the intoxicating blush on her face.
Just when the inexplicable tension in the hearts of the boys and girls was about to disappear, someone happened to speak again.
"Brother Lu is right, Eri Yi will definitely be a good bride in the future, but I don't know who will be lucky enough to marry you home."
Caesar said with a smile while kneading the stuffing.
Lu Chen was so embarrassed that he wanted to sew Caesar's mouth shut, but in the end he just silently grabbed another ball of minced meat and continued to produce the miserable meatballs.
Chu Zihang still silently slashed, but quietly gave Caesar a thumbs up and a thumbs up.
Time passed slowly, the sunlight gradually shifted, and for a while there was no other sound in the shed.
The shadows of the boys and girls were gradually lengthened, the wind blew across the beach, and the sound of the waves and the scrubbing of the leaves formed beautiful music. For a moment, the deserted island seemed to have turned into a stage, and the boys and girls on the stage seemed to be dancing. Starring in a play, the play is called Youth.
Wiping away the non-existent sweat on their foreheads, Lu Chen and Eriki pushed the plates inside. They completed their work. Warm orange light came from behind, splashing the shadows of the boys and girls on the table, and blending them. Mixed together, the meatballs symbolizing perfection quietly "watched" the young couple in the shadow.
Eri Yi and Lu Chen turned around and looked behind them almost at the same time.
The huge sun disk has touched the sea surface, and the warm light is refracting and reflecting on the sea surface, dyeing the whole world red. The waves push up the coast, bringing those small creatures back to the depths of the sea, like a warm embrace.
Everything was red and warm, and the redness in the girl's eyes seemed to become brighter, no longer the deep red, but a warm red.
The setting sun sinks in the sea, but a new warm sun rises in the girl's eyes.
After a long time, until the sunset was about to become completely silent, with the last glimmer of light, the girl wrote in her notebook: "It's beautiful."
It was so beautiful that she didn't want to look away.
It was so beautiful that she never wanted to go back to that cabin.
Lu Chen raised his hand and rubbed Eri Yi's smooth red hair, "Then we will come here next time."
As night fell, Caesar turned on the lights hanging outside the shed, and the surrounding area was once again enveloped in light.
Chu Zihang pushed the grill out, which had already been lined with silver frost charcoal. Caesar pushed out another cart with various skewered ingredients on it, including meat and vegetables.
Lu Chen came out with a plate of meatballs and placed the plate on the lower level of the cart. He didn't take all the meatballs because some of the meatballs had to be cooked.
When Chu Zihang took the perfectly shaped meatballs that Eliyi had kneaded and prepared to put them into the pot, Eiliyi walked up to him and looked at these round balls eagerly.
Chu Zihang couldn't figure out what Hui Liyi meant at the moment. Probably only Brother Lu's brainwaves could match this girl's, and he could communicate most without words.
"Eriyi wants to do it by herself?"
Lu Chen understood what Eli Yi meant, walked over and said with a smile.
Eri Yi nodded, and looked longingly at the plate and the boiling pot held by Chu Zihang.
"Then come Eriyi."
Chu Zihang handed over the plate and went out to light a fire and start the barbecue. When he walked past Lu Chen, he patted him on the shoulder, meaning, come on, brother Lu.
"Be careful with water scalding."
Lu Chen was still uneasy and stayed beside Eri Yi, watching her put the meatballs into the soup pot one by one with tongs.
To his surprise, Eriyi's hands were fast and precise, just like she had been a little cook for many years, but Eriyi was obviously not a little cook, and this was her first time touching these kitchen utensils.
She is curious about everything. Food has been served directly to her for as long as she can remember. This is the first time she has participated in the preparation of food, so she wants to finish it.
She made these little balls one by one.
The temperature began to drop at night, but the water vapor in the shed was rising. Eriyi leaned very close and stared at the soup pot, wanting to witness the moment when the meatballs floated up. Her little face was flushed by the heat.
Before the meatballs were cooked, the fire was already on outside.
Caesar and Chu Zihang have a clear division of labor. One is responsible for flipping the skewers and distributing every bit of heat evenly. Caesar is holding a brush and brushing oil and sauce on them. The action of sprinkling cumin is very similar to Xinjiang Street. The kebab master next to me.
The aroma of barbecue filled the air, and was carried into the shed by the gentle sea breeze, making Lu Chen and Eriyi's noses twitch.
"I'll get some skewers."
Lu Chen saw Eri Yi's little expression, smiled, turned around and went out to get something ready to eat.
"Take it, take it, it's all yours."
Caesar grabbed a large handful of freshly roasted meat, including fat lambs and fat cows, all of which were taken from the best parts of their bodies. When he picked it up from the grill, it was still sizzling with oil and the aroma hit his face. It's mind-blowing.
"Haha, then we're not welcome."
Lu Chen took it with a smile. Brother Caesar obviously knew that both he and Eriki had higher appetites than ordinary people.
