Chapter 417 A short trip!

In the evening, Zhou Mochen and Zhao Jinmai had a good discussion about who was bullying whom. Both sides held different opinions, and it was very lively. In the end, Zhao Jinmai lost the case. Then the two hugged each other and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, the two of them got up without staying in bed. Being absent from exercise was not a good sign. And there were quite a lot of things going on today.

After breakfast, Zhou Mochen and Zhao Jinmai also went to Wang's house. They went early and happened to be at home. Wang Sicong also complained that he originally wanted to stay with Zhou Mochen and two people for dinner, but he didn't say anything after knowing that they had to catch a flight back.

I told Wang Jianlin that I would come to pay New Year greetings in the first month. The latter responded with a smile.

The two of them left after not sitting for long. After packing their things, they rushed to the airport and flew all the way to Sioux City.

"Phew, I'm finally home. Pudding, mango, big hair, two hairs. Mom is back."

After getting off the plane, the two went to the parking lot and drove their cars. They arrived home in a short while. When they opened the door and saw no reaction inside, Zhao Jinmai shouted.

Several little guys heard the sound and ran over in a hurry. Not to mention how excited they were when they ran to the two of them, they were jumping up and down.

"Okay, okay, I said I would come back to take you. Let's see how excited you are."

Zhou Mochen caressed the little guys and said something.

"Meow!"

After hearing this, Pudding rubbed his little head against Zhou Mochen's cheek.

"Honey, let's go after dinner. It's a long way to drive. Let's stay one night in Zhongzhou Province first. Anyway, there are still a few days before the Chinese New Year. It can be regarded as a short trip."

Zhou Mochen thought for a while, if it were him, he would definitely be able to reach Chenjiagou tonight, but with his wife here, it would be safer. He drove there slowly. It would be very close if he drove back from Chenjiagou.

He only dared to come here after seeing the recent weather in Zhongzhou. Otherwise, he would not have driven back if it snowed heavily.

"Hehe, I heard you. Husband, I want to eat steak. Do you have any more at home?"

Zhao Jinmai looked at Zhou Mochen with a smile. As long as he could be with him, it didn't matter where he went. What's more, there were a few little ones accompanying him.

"Yes. I'll do it now. You pack some clothes to wear when you go back. We have to stay at home for a while anyway. Just send them back. Leave a change of clothes in the car."

Zhou Mochen thought for a while and said something. He couldn't put too many things in the car. Most of the ingredients he needed to be used were brought back by Zhou Mowei. There was also a small amount that Zhou Mochen didn't want to take with him. They were all convenient for shipping.

Things. Just bring them with your clothes.

"Yeah, okay. Then I'll go pack things. What clothes do you want to take? I'll pack them together."

Zhao Jinmai thought it right. It could lighten his burden. Then he asked.

"Just give me the choice. Your husband and I look handsome in whatever we wear."

Zhou Mochen showed off confidently.

"Humph, Smell. I won't tell you anymore. I'll go pack my clothes."

After saying that, he went to the bedroom, while Zhou Mochen went to the kitchen and started preparing the steak set meal. It couldn't just be steak. There should also be some fruit salad, desserts and so on.

But Zhou Mochen chose steak Wellington.

Steak Wellington is a dish made from steak and is one of the representative dishes of Western food. The characteristic of this dish is that the steak is wrapped in puff pastry.

The choice of ingredients for the steak is made of filet. The heat of this dish is extremely strict. Because it is wrapped, you don’t know what’s inside. Zhou Mochen has made it many times. He is very familiar with it.

.

Trim excess fat from filet mignon and beat egg yolks.

Melt the butter in the pot, add the diced onion and sauté over medium heat until soft. Add the brandy and stir-fry for 8-9 minutes until the juice dries up. After cooling slightly, add the foie gras, mix well, and place on a plate to cool.

Sprinkle salt and black pepper on the surface of the steak, put it into a hot oil pan, and fry each side for 1 minute on high heat to get color. When it is hot, brush an even layer of mustard sauce on the surface and let it cool. Remove the cotton rope.

Spread the plastic wrap flatly, lay ham slices on top, and overlap the ham slices. Use a spatula to smooth out the filling, place the steak in the middle, roll the steak tightly through the plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 15 minutes to set the steak.

Spread the puff pastry, sprinkle some dry flour on it, brush the sides with egg yolk, put the steak with the plastic wrap removed, wrap the steak with puff pastry, seal it side down, and place it on a baking sheet lined with baking paper.

Brush the surface of the pastry with egg yolk liquid, add some leftovers for decoration, and refrigerate for 15 minutes.

Place the steak in the oven and bake at 200°C for 30 minutes until the surface of the pastry is golden and crispy. Let it rest for 13 minutes before cutting into pieces. The cross section of the meat will turn pink.

While the steak was grilling, Zhou Mochen was already making fruit salad and small desserts.

After working in the kitchen for more than an hour, a delicious Western meal was finally ready. As soon as I brought the steak to the restaurant, I saw Zhao Jinmai dragging a large box downstairs.

"Why don't you let me get it? What if such a big box falls on you?"

Zhou Mochen hurriedly put down the steak and quickly picked up the box.

"How can I be so squeamish? I am very powerful."

Zhao Jinmai gave Zhou Mochen a bright smile and showed his arm strength.

"I know you're awesome. I'm here right now."

Zhou Mochen rubbed Zhao Jinmai's little head.

"Husband, this is sent home. I have put the others in the suitcase. You can leave these directly at home. It saves you having to go back and forth to pick them up."

Zhao Jinmai took Zhou Mochen's arm and said something.

"Okay! Then I'll have someone come and collect it."

After saying that, he made a phone call. Then he took out the items to be sent back from the warehouse and sealed them in a box.

"Okay, let's eat, otherwise the steak will be cold in a while."

After saying that, he took Zhao Jinmai to the bathroom and washed his hands, and then went to the living room to eat.

"Huh? Husband, this steak looks great. You've never done it before."

Zhao Jinmai was very surprised when he saw the steak on the plate.

"I learned it outside before. It takes a lot of time to cook steak, so I basically haven't done it much. Give it a try."

Zhou Mochen explained.

"Hmm, it's delicious. It's really crispy on the outside and tender on the inside."

After taking a bite of the puff pastry and steak, Zhao Jinmai immediately smiled and rolled her eyes. The taste was good. She liked it very much. Paired with a glass of juice, it was really happy. The best thing to go with steak is red wine, but unfortunately for both of them

I had to drive in the afternoon, so I didn’t drink.

Zhao Jinmai's appetite became very good. Fortunately, Zhou Mochen had the foresight to cook more steak, otherwise it would not be enough.

The two had a happy lunch. The courier people also came along the way. They knew how to be careful when sending things sent by Zhou Mochen. They reminded them all the way from the starting point to the finishing point. They wished they could send a special car to deliver it to him.

.For no other reason than because he gave me too much. Zhou Mochen didn’t care about the money, he just wanted better quality service.

After the two of them finished dealing with things at home, they pulled the suitcase and left with the four little guys. Before leaving, they asked the four little guys to solve their personal problems. It would not be fun on the highway. Smart little ones

Guys, of course you know.

In order not to be too bored, Zhou Mochen and the two brought a lot of snacks and fruits. Zhao Jinmai also brought her exclusive tablet. After getting ready, Zhou Mochen set off in Zhao Jinmai's Oulu.

Along the way, the two of them and four pets chatted happily.

"Husband, take Pudding and the others to the next service area. It's quite pitiful to see them trapped."

Zhao Jinmai felt a little distressed when he saw the listless little guys chatting behind him. After hearing Zhao Jinmai's words, Pudding immediately straightened up and called out. Zhou Mochen laughed and cursed.

"Then let's go and have a rest. Put a leash on Big Mao and Ermao. He will be fine at home, but he can't mess around when he comes out. Although we know nothing will happen, we still have to pay attention to the impact."

Zhou Mochen thought for a while and said something. Pet dogs generally need to be on a leash when going out. This is the rule.

"I know, hubby, Da Mao, Er Mao. Come here. Mom will bring you a leash. Be good."

Zhao Jinmai didn't think anything was wrong after hearing this. It should be like this. Da Mao Ermao was also very obedient and cooperated with Zhao Jinmai's movements.

The bus got off the bus soon. It's not far from Zhongzhou. We'll be there in more than an hour.

After talking to Pudding and the others, the two went to the bathroom to deal with their own affairs before letting the four little guys out.

Zhou Mochen and Zhao Jinmai, who had already been out once, were recognized immediately. There were also many people from Zhongzhou who were afraid that they had seen it wrong. In a blink of an eye, Zhou Mochen disappeared.

The next time I saw him, it was Zhou Mochen leading two puppies that had not yet grown up. He was accompanied by two black cats, one big and one small.

As a Zhongzhou native, you may not know all the cities in Zhongzhou, but you must know who Zhou Mochen is. That is the pride of Zhongzhou.

"Zhou Shen! Mai Mai!"

Seeing the appearance of the two people, the people resting in the service area were all pleasantly surprised. They wanted to take out their mobile phones and go up to take pictures. But then they thought about Zhou Mochen's temperament, so they simply took a few pictures from a distance, and then collected them.

I picked up my phone and went to chat with the two of them. There were many people doing the same thing. From the looks of it, I was a big fan.

"Hello, fellow villagers."

It was rare for Zhou Mochen to hear the accent from his hometown. When he saw everyone coming, he didn't take pictures with his mobile phone. His smile became even thicker and he greeted them easily.

"Haha, Zhou Shen, Mai Mai, welcome home. Are you going back to your hometown?"

"Yeah, I drove out for a walk and went to Zhongzhou City first in the evening. I haven't been there for many years."

Zhou Mochen's chatting attitude with the fans was very natural and casual. It made people feel like they were old friends, and they were like a spring breeze. Everyone gradually let go of their excitement.

"My home is in Zhongzhou City. I just came back from outside today, what a coincidence."
