Chapter 105 Christmas Eve (2)

"Tony, what are we going to eat tonight?" Karin walked out of another bathroom, while working hard to dry her long golden hair with a bath towel. "Do you really want to make something delicious with those things?"

"Of course." Zhuang Mingge said naturally, "I'll go down and carry those things up now."

"Hey, wait..." Before Karin finished speaking, Zhuang Mingge ran away.

"It's true, I'm so old, I'm still as lively as a child." Karin remembered the expression when Zhuang Mingge saw the restaurant, shook her head with some amusement and followed her.

...

On the way home, Zhuang Mingge accidentally saw a Chinese restaurant, and the aroma of braised pork came from the house. Zhuang Mingge, who was homesick, rushed into the restaurant regardless of the slightestness. He scared the owner to think that the other party was here to rob, and almost called the police. Fortunately, Kalin was not slow, and she arrived in time and asked the owner to relieve her doubts after explaining.

Otherwise, tomorrow the Florence media will release a major news that "the Florence chairman entered the police station because of greed"...

Afterwards, Zhuang Mingge communicated with the Chinese shop owner who traveled to Italy to make a living from the ocean and successfully bought a batch of traditional Chinese ingredients from him. Although some of them were the owner's own "works", Zhuang Mingge tasted it himself and found that the owner's skills were quite good.

On the way back to the villa, Zhuang Mingge was excitedly talking to Karin about the way these ingredients were processed and the food that could be made, although Karin didn't understand much...

...

"Hey~" Zhuang Mingge walked into the villa's lobby step by step with two large sacks full of clothes. "Karin, come and help. These things are too heavy. I really can't carry them."

"I'm here." As he said that, Karin walked down the spiral ladder and easily lifted one of the sacks with one hand, "Give me the other one too."

"..." Why are Karin and I so different from each other's strength...

“All these are in the kitchen?”

"That's right, I'll take it to the kitchen first. Today we want you to see what delicious food is." Zhuang Mingge followed Karin and said confidently.

"This chicken is so black in color, and its cockscomb is much longer than ordinary ones...even its eyes are dark blue." Karin looked at the ingredients that Zhuang Mingge placed in the kitchen with suspicion, "Can this kind of chicken really make any delicious food like you said?"

"Haha, Karin, you have to believe in my skills." Zhuang Mingge put on an apron and said to Karin, "Although it's a pity to say that... But Karin, come and help me too. After all, if I want to make today's dinner, if I am the only one, the workload will be too high."

"Okay, what do I need to do?"

"First help me clean these medicinal materials, and then cook them into corresponding shapes according to the instructions on this piece of paper." Zhuang Mingge handed Karin a piece of paper full of words, "I have written all the precautions and preparations to be done on it. It is best to be careful when dealing with these ingredients, so as not to hurt yourself."

“I will pay attention.”

...

Two hours later, Zhuang Mingge finally got his job done. When he put the dishes he had prepared filled the big dining table in the restaurant, Karin suddenly felt that he might be the happiest person on Christmas Eve.

Think about it, a rich Western young man who can give others his own hands, even his woman, makes a meal that looks very difficult. In Karin's Westernization cognition, it is hard not to be moved. Karin was originally an intellectual beauty with a little playfulness, and against the backdrop of this atmosphere, it added a bit of pity.

"It smells so good." Karin carefully sniffed the bowl of white rice porridge placed in front of her, and said, "It smells so strange."

"Come and try it." Zhuang Mingge said with anticipation.

With Zhuang Mingge's guidance, Karin picked up a spoon and took a sip: "Hmm..."

"How is it?" Seeing Karin silent, Zhuang Mingge, who was confident in the cooking skills he had secretly practiced over the past few months, began to become a little nervous. After all, there are some differences in the views on food between the East and the West. It is very likely that others will feel that the taste is not as good as their taste...

"It's delicious~" Just as Zhuang Mingge was thinking about it, Karin suddenly said this, her big eyes flashed with strange colors, "It's just a bowl of porridge... Why does it smell like chicken... How did you make it?"

"I first stuffed the whole chicken with rice, then poured wolfberry, Codonopsis and other medicinal materials into the pot and cooked them slowly over low heat... Finally, take out the rice inside the chicken, this is the origin of this bowl of porridge." After hearing Karin's praise, Zhuang Mingge was overjoyed and calmed down, and explained, "Only in this way, slowly boil the essence of the chicken and let the rice fully absorb these precious chicken soup, the bowl of porridge can be tasted the sweetest and delicious taste of this chicken!"

"What a trouble..." Karin was stunned. She grew up in Italy but never expected that just a bowl of porridge would be so troublesome. "This snack looks very good too."

"This is called Shaomi, it is a kind of food in China. It is what I saw in a book before."

We didn't lie. We did see it from a book, but it was just a comic book... Zhuang Mingge silently added a sentence in his heart.

"The yellow skin is covered with some black and shiny particles...it looks pretty." Karin looked at the plate of yakimai, which was like a handicraft, and couldn't bear to start. "How did this food called yakimai be made?"

"I rolled out this dough with eggs and flour. The black particles on it are made of chopped eggs made of duck eggs." Zhuang Mingge looked at Karin's entangled expression and said with a smile, "I added crab roe to it, and eat it."

In the end, Karin finally couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food, so she forked one with a fork and ate it.

"It's really delicious~" Karin savored for a while and said happily, "The sweet and delicious egg noodles and the exciting eggs, as well as the chewy crab roe... These three flavors are completely integrated in a Shimai."

Then, Zhuang Mingge introduced other dishes to Karin, including the "torp sausage" made with shark fin, ham and bamboo shoots cut into shreds and woven into twisted flowers, and then stuffed them into casings; there are also the fried shredded pork with green pepper and dried frying beef river that tests knife skills and fire skills. The rich dishes made Karin dazzled...

"Woo~ I'm overeating~" After dinner, Karin lay on the table in discomfort and said, "It's all a big blame for Tony, you're making so many delicious foods. Now I'm going to do more exercise to maintain my body shape."

"Haha, that's fine." Zhuang Mingge smiled and hugged Karin with a princess hug, and walked towards the bedroom, "Tonight, let me accompany you to 'exercise'. We have one night..."

"Tony! So you had planned it!" Karin's embarrassed and angry voice and Zhuang Mingge's laughter came from the bedroom...

PS1: I read it again a few days ago. I felt a little moved and wrote this chapter. It’s really great that childhood is not a pleasing goat...

PS2: Since I will submit the final draft tomorrow, I am a little hurry in the past two days. I’m sorry for everyone...
