Chapter 411: Beneficial to the Body and Mind
Tang Wan stood up and walked to the entrance, put on a friendly smile, and greeted Zhang Zhichuang and the other two.
"Hello!"
"Good morning, goddess!"
Zhang Zhichuang grinned and responded naturally.
Gong Qing and Bi Yangde just nodded, looking a little reserved.
Both of them were socially anxious. Although they knew Tang Wan, it was just acquaintance. They had already done their best by nodding in response to her greeting.
"The slippers are on the floor, you can pick the ones you like." Tang Wan said politely.
"As expected of a goddess, she is so thoughtful!"
Tang Wan maintained a perfect smile and was not surprised by either praise or criticism.
Everyone put on slippers and walked towards the living room.
Lu You came to Tang Wan, squeezed her soft palm, and praised in a low voice: "Well done!"
"That's right! Otherwise, how can I become your daughter-in-law?"
"I'll take you to eat hairy crabs tomorrow night."
In the living room.
Everyone sat side by side on the sofa and looked around with curiosity.
A set of simple gray and white fabric sofas, a round coffee table and TV wall in the same style, and a staggered circular ceiling.
The three have their own characteristics, yet they are cleverly blended into a whole.
The occupancy rate of the space is neither high nor low, hitting the perfect balance between openness and crowding.
As soon as you sit down, you'll feel comfortable.
Zhang Zhichuang said with deep emotion: "Brother Lu, the decoration of your house is really beautiful! Unlike my house, which is all middle-aged style, wooden sofa, wooden coffee table, and glass on the coffee table, it's so old-fashioned!"
"Do you like my house?" Lu You asked with a smile.
Zhang Zhichuang lay back carelessly and said calmly, "Of course I like it! This is the kind of house that young people should live in!"
Lu You sat on the toffee chair at the side and replied, "It's not expensive, just over 20 million. If you work hard to become a pallu, you can still buy one in your lifetime."
"I suddenly feel that my home is still pretty good."
Gong Qing took a quick look around the living room, but his reaction was not as big as Zhang Zhichuang's.
After all, my family conditions are also very good. I live in a large flat in Shanghai, which is about 300 square meters.
After retracting his gaze, Gong Qing noticed the three cups on the coffee table, which were still filled with water. He was a little thirsty, so he asked, "Master, is this water drinkable?"
Without waiting for Lu You to reply, Tang Wan raised her hand and said, "Drink it, it was prepared for you!"
Tang Wan's sweet smile vaguely overlapped with a certain figure, which made Gong Qing's heart waver.
"What, your classmate is coming to our house?"
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? Do you know I haven't washed my hair in two days?"
"Hello, nice to meet you. I am Gong Qing's...sister."
"Here, this is the jelly I made myself. Try it and see if it tastes good."
Someone's every frown and smile seemed to have crossed more than two thousand miles of time and space and appeared in front of Gong Qing.
Lu You waved his hand in front of Gong Qing's eyes and asked in confusion, "Why are you suddenly silent? Is the program unresponsive?"
Gong Qing came back to his senses, shook his head and replied: "It's okay, I just thought about some things in the past, don't worry about it."
"Really?"
"Do I need to lie to you?"
"Too."
Gong Qing held the mug with both hands and brought it to his lips, hiding the emotions on his face.
Mid-Autumn Festival is next week, let’s take a plane back to Shanghai!
Gong Qing thought secretly.
……
A few people chatted about this and that, and before they knew it, it was eleven o'clock.
Tang Wan looked up at the clock on the wall, stood up and said, "It's getting late, you guys chat, I'll go prepare lunch."
Lu You looked at Tang Wan in astonishment.
Did the sun rise from the west today?
"Oh, by the way, feel free to eat the fruits and snacks on the coffee table. You're welcome."
After saying that, Logan left the living room and walked into the kitchen.
Looking at the closed glass door of the kitchen, Zhang Zhichuang said enviously, "Brother Lu, I now know why goddess Tang Wan was able to win you over. You are good at both housework and studying, and you are very good at dealing with people. No one can stand up to you."
Lu You curled the corner of his mouth. If he hadn't lived with Tang Wan for more than a year, he would have really believed it.
Lu You approved of it as being presentable.
But once he entered the kitchen, he refused to admit it.
When it comes to cooking, Tang Wan only knows three tricks: boiling noodles, stir-frying vegetables, and frying eggs.
As for the rest, if Lu You hadn't been there to guide her, to put it bluntly, Tang Wan would have just pooped a lot.
"You guys sit by yourselves for a while, I'll go help her. If you feel bored, there's a PS5 in the drawer under the TV, you can play with it."
PS5?
Zhang Zhichuang's eyes lit up.
He had only seen people play this kind of advanced stuff on Bilibili videos.
“Is there a Jerusalem?”
"Jerusalem?"
Lu You was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said, "You mean FF7? I bought the disc and put it in the same drawer as the PS5. You can find it yourself."
"Okay, go ahead and do your work! We'll do it ourselves."
"PS5 is very expensive. If you don't know how to operate it, ask someone. Don't break it." Lu You warned.
Zhang Zhichuang's face turned dark, feeling offended.
"It's just a game console, how difficult can it be? If that doesn't work, don't you still have Baidu? You make me sound like a moron!"
"I'm just afraid that some people will be stubborn and pretend to know something when they don't."
"That's enough, stop whining and go do your own thing!"
Lu You came to the kitchen and pushed the door open.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Tang Wan standing in front of the sink, holding a corn in her left hand and pulling the roots of the corn with her right hand.
Lu You closed the door and said in surprise: "You are really preparing lunch!"
"Why else would I go into the kitchen, to breathe gas?"
Tang Wan didn't even raise her head. She was not surprised by Lu You's arrival.
Rather, it would be strange if Lu You didn’t come to help.
Tang Wan took a small step to the side, making room for half of the work, and urged, "Stop talking nonsense, come over and start working!"
"Not urgent."
Lu You walked around behind Tang Wan, put his arms around her waist and held her in his arms.
The unique warmth and fragrance of a girl quickly occupied Lu You's sense of touch and smell.
"Life is limited. You can eat later, but if your wife hugs you less, it's really less."
Tang Wan's ears felt slightly hot. After dating for more than two years, she still had little resistance to Lu You.
After a long time of tenderness,
Tang Wan's inner throbbing gradually subsided.
She put the second peeled corn into the vegetable basket beside her, patted the back of Lu You's hand, and said, "Have you hugged enough? Can I help you now?"
Lu You decided to quit while he was ahead and went to another sink next to Tang Wan.
"What do you need me to do?"
"You're the chef, and you ask me?"
"Too."
Lu You smiled silently.
Tang Wan was so proactive that he forgot their respective positions in the kitchen.
Lu You picked up the radish soaking in the water.
The radish is white and plump, about the length of an arm, and its cross-sectional area is about the same as a can.
"Have you washed the radish?"
Tang Wan poured the watercress in the plastic bag into the sink and replied, "There's no mud on it, which means I washed it."
Lu You observed it carefully several times and found that there was indeed no mud on the radish, so he took the paring knife and started to peel the radish.
Although the skin of white radish can be removed or not, Lu You still chooses to peel it out of habit because it improves the taste.
Tang Wan turned on the faucet. Mixed in with the sound of running water was the sound of Lu You peeling fruits and the loud voice of Zhang Zhichuang outside.
"Honey, your roommate is playing outside while we are busy in the kitchen. Will that be okay?"
"Are you afraid they'll blow up the house?"
"No."
"Then what are you worried about?"
Seeing that the water level was gradually submerging the watercress, Tang Wan promptly turned on the tap and replied, "I simply feel that it is not appropriate for guests to come and no one is there to entertain them."
"Then I'll go out and entertain them now, and you'll be alone in the kitchen?"
"Don't!"
Tang Wan immediately grabbed Lu You's wrist, fearing that he would really leave.
"What I made is barely edible. It's the lesser of two evils. It would be better for you to stay in the kitchen and help me."
"We're going to have a clear soup hot pot, and I'm not asking you to cook. It's very simple."
"don't want!
Tang Wan shook her head like a rattle and said firmly, "You must accompany me!"
Lu You placed the peeled radish on the chopping board, pinched Tang Wan's cheek with his hand, and said meaningfully: "My beloved, do you know that you need to pay a corresponding price for asking someone to do something for you?"
Without saying a word, Tang Wan stood on tiptoe and kissed Lu You on the cheek.
“Is this price enough?”
“Almost attitude.”
Tang Wan hugged Lu You's arm again, rubbed it gently, and said coquettishly in a pinched voice: "Husband, please~"
Feeling the crowd in his arm, Lu You couldn't stop smiling.
It’s so nice to have a sensible girlfriend!
Benefits both body and mind!
"Very good, I strongly recommend this writing formula, it is very useful to me!"
……
Hotpot is one of the unique Chinese delicacies.
The main cooking method is to place a heat source at the bottom of the pot to keep the soup in the pot boiling, thereby cooking various foods.
The biggest feature is that it is not picky about ingredients, the process is convenient, and it can be cooked and eaten at any time, making it very suitable for gatherings with many people.
With the joint efforts of Lu You and Tang Wan, in less than half an hour, all the ingredients were processed and packed into several different containers.
Raw meat and fish are placed in iron basins, while vegetables and mushrooms are placed in baskets, clearly separated.
Finally, put the induction cooker and stainless steel pot on the dining table and you're done.
Lu You clicked into the mobile phone app, adjusted the power of the induction cooker to the maximum, and shouted to the three people in the living room: "Put aside the game, wash your hands and eat!"
"coming!"
The person who responded was Zhang Zhichuang, and he was also the first person to walk into the restaurant.
When he saw a pot on the table, he immediately knew what to eat for lunch.
"Hotpot! I haven't had it in a while!"
At this time, Gong Qing and Bi Yangde also walked in one after another. Seeing that they were going to eat hotpot, they also showed a bit of joy on their faces.
Chinese people can resist beauty, but cannot resist the temptation of hot pot.
Lu You lifted the lid of the pot and estimated based on the speed of the bubbles that it would take another three or four minutes for the soup to boil completely, so he said, "Just sit and wait for a while, you'll be able to eat soon."
The three of them took their seats and waited for the meal to begin.
Just as Lu You expected.
After three minutes, the rising steam caused the lid of the pot to tremble, and several bubbles quickly formed on the edge of the lid, and then burst and dispersed.
Seeing this, Lu You quickly opened the lid of the pot.
A hazy vapor rushed up, accompanied by the gurgling sound of boiling hot water.
The five people's eyes were all focused on the pot.
In the slightly turbid soup, there were a few pieces of mushrooms, corn, white radish, as well as a few red dates and wolfberries floating, rolling up and down with the bubbles.
Bi Yangde was shocked and asked, "Why is the hot pot soup base this color? Shouldn't it be red?"
Lu You picked up the spoon and stirred it gently a few times, saying, "This is called clear soup hot pot. People in Yue Province eat it this way."
"Is it really edible to eat a non-spicy hotpot?" Bi Yangde expressed great doubt.
He is from Sichuan and Chongqing, and his impression of hotpot can basically be summed up in four words: heavy in oil and spicy.
“You’ll know if it tastes good once you try it.”
