Abstinence Pei, don't be too sweet when chasing your wife

In the kitchen, Xiao Fangfei and Gu Fanxing's busy figures outlined a warm yellow outline for this exquisite world. The laughter and the sound of high-end kitchen utensils intertwined, playing a luxurious kitchen movement exclusively for besties.

Xiao Fangfei was wearing a soft silk apron embroidered with delicate gold thread patterns, which made her look bright and elegant.

She placed a basket of top-quality truffles flown in by air on the chopping board, leaned forward slightly, and looked at them intently as if she was tasting a rare treasure. "Xingxing, these white truffles are very precious. We must handle them carefully and not waste even a single bit."

After that, she held an extremely sharp ceramic knife and gently and accurately cut the truffle into thin slices. Each slice was as thin as a cicada's wing, and the rich aroma spread instantly.

Gu Fanxing was also concentrating. In front of her were several bluefin tunas that had just been delivered from the deep-sea cold chain, their bodies glowing with a charming luster.

She skillfully removed the fish bones, the special boning knife in her hand moving flexibly, and soon, the fresh, tender and boneless fish meat was presented.

"Fei'er, do you think my work is good enough? This fish will be made into sashimi later, and paired with freshly ground wasabi, it will definitely be so delicious that it will make your eyebrows drop." He spoke with full confidence.

After processing the truffles and tuna, Xiao Fangfei turned around and started the professional-grade low-temperature slow cooker, put a few pieces of selected marbled steaks into a vacuum bag, and carefully adjusted the time and temperature.

"This steak has to be slow-cooked at a low temperature to the perfect medium-rare to lock in the juices, so that it will melt in your mouth," she explained, her eyes never leaving the machine's display, as rigorous as if she were conducting a precision experiment.

Gu Fanxing was busy preparing the sauce. She picked out original French black truffle sauce, aged balsamic vinegar from Italy, and a few drops of extra virgin olive oil that was worth more than gold from the cupboard filled with top-quality condiments. She stirred them evenly with skillful techniques, and the aroma was fragrant, a rich aroma of money and taste intertwined.

"Fei'er, try this sauce, it goes really well with steak." She handed over a small spoon, and Xiao Fangfei took a sip, closed her eyes and savored it, then gave a thumbs up: "No problem, just wait for the steak to come out of the pot."

While the steak was still being "cooked", Gu Fanxing turned his attention to the neatly arranged organic vegetables on the side, which were bright in color and tender.

She picked out a few emerald-tender asparagus, blanched them, and quickly put them into ice water to cool them down to maintain their crispy and tender texture. She then scooped them out and placed them on a plate, drizzling some homemade vanilla olive oil on them. In an instant, the fresh scent blended with the rich aroma of truffles and steak, creating rich layers of flavor.

Over at Xiao Fangfei's place, the steak had already been cooked. She poured a little top-grade olive oil into the hot pan, put the steak into the pan and fried it quickly. In an instant, a layer of tempting charred crust quickly formed on the surface of the steak.

After the dish was served, Gu Fanxing carefully garnished it with truffle slices, making it look like a fine work of art.

Among the exquisite dishes on the table, the dishes specially prepared for grandma are the ones that represent the couple’s full love.

Xiao Fangfei picked out fresh and plump deep-sea silver cod, which has tender meat, few bones and is rich in nutrients, making it especially suitable for consumption by the elderly.

She soaked the cod pieces of uniform size in cooking wine and ginger slices in water to remove the fishy smell. Then, she coated them with a thin layer of egg white and starch mixture, gently put them into the pan, and fried them slowly over low heat.

The cod pieces sizzle in the pan, gradually becoming golden and crispy on the outside, while the inside still retains a tender and smooth tofu-like texture.

Then, Gu Fanxing took over the "baton" and poured a little olive oil into another pot, added minced garlic and chopped onion to sauté. When the aroma was fragrant, he added freshly squeezed orange juice, a few drops of lemon juice, and a handful of chopped fresh shrimp meat to increase the flavor. He simmered on low heat for a while to allow the sweet and sour orange juice and the mellow shrimp meat to blend perfectly.

Finally, add the fried cod pieces into the sauce and stir-fry so that each piece of fish is evenly coated with the sauce.

This pan-fried silver cod with orange juice has a rich fruity aroma, and the fish meat is tender and melts in the mouth. My grandmother finds it effortless to eat, and she can taste the deliciousness of the fish while getting rich nutrition.

The other dish is the fish maw stewed with seasonal vegetables in golden soup carefully prepared by Gu Fanxing. The fish maw is soft, sticky and rich in collagen.

She first put the fish maw, old hen and pork bones into a casserole and simmered it over low heat for several hours until a thick broth as golden silk was created.

Then, add soft and glutinous seasonal vegetables such as pumpkin, carrot, yam, etc. that have been cut into small pieces into the broth and continue stewing to allow the seasonal vegetables to absorb the deliciousness and richness of the fish maw broth.

The stewed dishes were served, and every bite was full of care and love. They were nutritious and easy to digest. Just by smelling the aroma, grandma's face was filled with a smile of happiness and satisfaction.

As the dishes were served one after another, Xiao Fangfei and Gu Fanxing sat down intimately next to their grandmother, one on the left and one on the right. The faces of the three were all bathed in warm light and full of smiles.

"Grandma, please try this pan-fried silver cod with orange juice." Xiao Fangfei took the lead in picking up a piece of attractive cod and placed it on grandma's plate. Grandma smiled in the fine lines at the corners of her eyes and slowly put it into her mouth. The pure freshness of the cod spread slowly, and the delicate taste made grandma nod her head continuously, "Mm, this fish is so tender, it's gone in one mouth, the taste is just right, sweet and sour, appetizing, delicious!"

Seeing this, Gu Fanxing hurriedly scooped up a spoonful of golden soup with fish maw and seasonal vegetables and brought it to her grandmother's mouth. The soft and smooth fish maw was wrapped with soft and glutinous seasonal vegetables, trembling on the tip of the spoon.

"Grandma, have another bite of this, it's full of collagen, very nourishing." Grandma opened her mouth to greet it, the soup was thick and sticky, like silk satin sliding down her throat. "My dear, this dish took a lot of effort, it makes me feel good all over after eating it."

After receiving praise from their grandmother, the two girls smiled at each other, their eyes shining brightly, and then they started eating.

Xiao Fangfei forked a small piece of steak and put it into her mouth. The gravy splashed instantly. The rich fat aroma wrapped in the unique flavor of truffles indulged her taste buds. She sighed slightly with satisfaction: "Xingxing, this steak is cooked to perfection, and the truffles are the highlight. It's so delicious."

Gu Fanxing was not to be outdone. She picked up a piece of bluefin tuna sashimi with chopsticks and dipped it in some soy sauce. The moment she took a bite, the fish meat was firm and chewy, and the sweet taste spread on the tip of her tongue. She opened her eyes and smiled and praised: "This fish is so fresh, the ingredients are top-notch and it's different."

The three of them ate and talked, laughing all the time. The food on the plate gradually became less, the champagne in the glass swayed gently, and bubbles rose up.

Grandma was eating with great delight, her eyes sparkling. She raised her hand and patted the two girls, "Look at the food on our table, it's luxurious and delicious, no one else can have this blessing. You two have had a deep relationship since childhood, and now you have grown up and can get together to prepare such a feast. Friendship is precious!" Upon hearing this, Xiao Fangfei and Gu Fanxing stretched out their hands and shook hands. Sincere friendship flowed in happiness, and the two looked at each other with overflowing warmth.

At this time, the sunlight quietly moved, and the warm light slanted in from the window, as if adding a layer of dreamy veil to the dinner party.

The last baked lobster on the plate was also completely divided up.

Xiao Fangfei leaned back in her chair and joked, "Today's meal has satisfied all my cravings for the whole year. If I keep eating, my skirt won't be able to hold me up." Gu Fanxing also laughed to the side, "Who was the one who just said that the cheese baked lobster was not enough?"

Grandma looked at the two of them laughing and joking, her smile full of doting, "You two are just two funny guys, but grandma is happy to see you."

The laughter echoed in the house, and this warm atmosphere quietly captured the beauty of the moment.

The warm sun is gradually setting, but its light remains. Friendship grows deeper between the lips, tongue, eyes and laughter, turning into a shining treasure in the heart, which is guarded year after year without fear of passing time.

Until the quietness of the afternoon slowly filled the room, this happy gathering on the second day of the New Year gradually came to an end in satisfaction and warmth. The happiness filled by food and friendship in the hearts of the three people was like the afterglow of the warm sun outside the window, lingering for a long time, and lasting into a precious fragment that is often recalled in countless warm days in the future.
