"Ze Xi? Are you asleep?" Jiang Ruan blinked.
"Well, because it's very fragrant, I can't sleep." Mu Zexi rubbed the corners of his eyes inadvertently, glanced at the closed live broadcast control, and turned to look curiously at the red cake behind Jiang Ruan.
"Ah, are you hungry? Charlie said you stayed up late, are you already hungry?" Jiang Ruan patted Mu Zexi's arm, turned around and cut a thick slice of cake, and put a lot of strawberries on it.Finally, he heated up a glass of milk and brought it to Mu Zexi.
"Come on, let's eat. It's just out of the pan, it must be delicious... Ugh! Ze Xi!"
It was dark before Jiang Ruan's eyes, and Jiang Ruan was embraced by the shrouded warm body.Mu Zexi's slightly pointed chin rested on his right shoulder, and his scorching breath hit his ear, as if he was about to get into his collar.
"Ze Xi... What are you doing? What's the matter, are you dizzy from hunger?" Jiang Ruan held the cake plate in one hand and a glass of milk in the other, and they separated beside Mu Zexi, unable to move her hands to make it. any response.
"Cough..." Mu Zexi coughed and swallowed.Buried in Jiang Ruan's neck, he was keenly aware of the trembling of the people surrounded by him.
Jiang Ruan heard a clear swallowing sound in his ears, and his body froze, and for some reason he felt a little hot on his face. "Ze analyze you..."
"I..." Mu Zeyan lowered his eyes, ready to speak, "I thought, can I invite you and me..."
"Gulu Gulu—" A strange sound came from the place where the two embraced, interrupting the ambiguous atmosphere.
"...God, Ze Xi..." Jiang Ruan was taken aback, then raised her head and smiled, "This must be you, right? Quickly pick up what I'm holding..."
"...Okay." Mu Zexi let go of Jiang Ruan slightly, took the cake and milk, looked away, with an unnatural expression on his face.
"It's okay, it's okay if I don't laugh at you?" Jiang Ruan pursed her lips, "What did you want to tell me just now?"
Mu Zexi lowered his head and took a deep look at Jiang Ruan, and said with a normal face, "It's okay, I just want to ask you, do you want to go with me to the site of the God of Cookery Festival, which is usually a playground."
"Just... that's it?" The voice was lowered, Jiang Ruan's eyes flashed, the corners of her pursed lips drooped slightly, and she breathed a sigh of relief just now. "Okay, you go and eat, I'll prepare two more lunches here? There is a delicious meal, I want to give you a try."
As he said that, he pushed Mu Zexi away, closed the door and leaned against the back of the door, recalling the first scene, suppressing a small smile.I don't know where to think, and the smile fades in an instant.
Just now, he really thought...
No, maybe they didn't mean that at all.What if hugs were simply a way of saying thanks?But why just ask to go out and play, why hold him?
Then why did he feel unhappy later...
Jiang Ruan put the red velvet cake to his mouth one after another, feeling sweet for a while, and bitter for a while.
Mu Zexi outside the door looked down at the red cake and sighed.He walked towards the table with his long legs.Looking at the closed kitchen door, he couldn't look away for a long time.
Forget it, let's find a good opportunity to talk.
Jiang Ruan stayed in the kitchen for a while, but finally went to the freezer.He took out a large strip of fat and thin pork belly, picked up an onion and some shiitake mushrooms, and took out two clean and green rapeseeds and put them on the counter.
While holding the pot to pick up the boiled eggs, Jiang Ruan took care of all the ingredients.Thick slices of pork belly are cut into small dices the size of the tail finger by ginger Nguyen, the onion is also cut into semicircular strips, and the mushrooms are cut into smaller pieces than the diced meat.Sliced ginger and scallions are placed on the right side of Jiang Ruan.
Heat the cold oil in the hot pan, and the onions are first fried until they are browned and crispy, and then put aside to control the oil and let them cool.After the oil is drained, smash them one by one with the back of a knife and put them back into a bowl, turning them into crispy fried shallots, the soul ingredient that is essential for braised pork rice.
Then put the diced meat into the pan and stir-fry, crush the elastic pork belly with the back of a shovel until the meat turns white, and after the fat is forced out, Jiang Ruan pours in ginger, spring onion, shiitake mushrooms, and adds soy sauce and rice wine.
The pork belly in the pot became oily and brownish red, accompanied by the unique aroma of mushrooms and rice wine, the aroma of stewed pork spread in the kitchen.
But this was not enough. Jiang Ruan watched the pork belly gradually covered with sauce, so he poured fried shallots into the pot and stirred, let the rock sugar melt to coat the braised pork with sugar, and when the star anise smelled of spices, he added water to cover the pot Cover and simmer.
Once the soup in the pot boiled, Jiang Ruan poured the soup and meat into the casserole, put down the boiled eggs that had been peeled before, and turned on a low heat to simmer slowly.
After doing all this, Jiang Ruan walked out with the red velvet cake and cupcakes. As soon as she got out of the kitchen, she saw Aisha sitting on the sofa with Lilith.
"Xiao Jiang? Good morning!" Aisha laughed so hard that she couldn't see her eyes.
"Aunt Aisha, good morning. Lilith, good morning, do you want cake?" Jiang Ruan smiled, and quickly went back to the kitchen to take two dishes and returned to the living room.
Lilith couldn't move her eyes from looking at the beautiful red cake on the table for a long time, but she couldn't bear to eat it, she just didn't move while holding an empty bowl.
"What's the matter? Why don't you eat it? It's delicious. This kind of cake is often made only during festivals." Jiang Ruan gently cut a piece for Aisha and Lilith and sent it to the bowl.Seeing that Mu Zexi finished eating in the bowl, before Mu Zexi could say anything, he filled another thick slice for Mu Zexi.
"Festival? What kind of festival do you need to have beautiful cakes... Is it true that only beautiful brothers can make beautiful cakes? I haven't seen such beautiful cakes at my uncle's place..." Lilith muttered. "Wow, it's delicious! This red place is sweet and soft."
"Yes, I have never seen this kind of red cake. The taste and aroma are very special, very mellow and delicate, Xiao Jiang, did you make it yourself?" Aisha nodded appreciatively.
"Yes, I made it just now. In the earth age, this kind of big cake is usually used for birthdays or weddings, and it is custom-made." Jiang Ruan pointed to the red velvet lace paper cup on one side, "This kind is more common."
"Beautiful brother, is your birthday today?" Lilith blinked, tilting her head to look at Jiang Ruan expectantly.
"No, I don't." Jiang Ruan was taken aback and shook his head.
To be honest, he really hadn't noticed when the original body's birthday was...
"That's... marriage?!" Lilith stared wide-eyed, and her gaze quickly wandered between Jiang Ruan and Mu Zexi.
Before Jiang Ruan could refute, she was interrupted by Lilith's raised voice.
"I wish Brother Zexi a happy marriage. Do you have any plans to have a baby? When will you contact the Nurturing Department... What else is there? Mom, what do you usually say..." Lilith said excitedly After finishing speaking, I couldn't remember the words, and turned back to Aisha with a cute face.
"Hahaha..." Aisha couldn't help but covered her mouth and started laughing, looking at the two youths in front of her ambiguously.
"I'm not...we didn't..." Jiang Ruan waved her hands in a panic, blushing up to her ears.
"Cough, I'm going to ask for one." Mu Zexi, who had been silent all this time, coughed lowly, cleared his throat, and his serious tone made everyone stunned.
"...What?" Jiang Ruan didn't understand what Mu Zexi was saying for a while, and after a while he realized that his whole body was going to explode with heat, "What nonsense are you talking about..."
"Really?" Aisha looked at Mu Zexi, who looked serious, with a smile, and Jiang Ruan, who was blushing, and touched her chin with interest.
Jiang Ruan took a deep breath and let out a long breath. "No, Aunt Aisha, it's up to you, Mu Ze, I made this cake for the recording of the show. By the way, it's used as a practice for the God of Cookery Festival."
"Oh, that's it." Aisha smiled and rubbed Lilith's little head. "I brought Lilith here to thank Zexi. The teacher named her and praised her for her homework last time, but it made her proud for a few days. Isn't it Lilith? The cake is not for a wedding."
"Huh? Brother Zexi, pretty brother, aren't you married yet?" Lilith frowned, not even caring about being praised by the teacher, and stared at Jiang Ruan with her mouth puckered.
"How do I explain this... Lilith, this cake is just..." Jiang Ruan racked her brains for an explanation.
"Oh! I see! Did you first make it for Brother Zexi to learn, and when he gets married, he can copy your method and make it again!" Lilith saw Jiang Ruan's embarrassment, and she had a brain hole for a moment. open. "Mom, you still say I'm not good at copying homework, look at brother Zexi! The beautiful brother is willing to give it to him!"
Aisha burst out laughing completely, leaning against the table with a spoon in her mouth, looking interested.Seeing that the defense was useless, Jiang Ruan blushed and buried her head in eating the cake.
Mu Zexi raised the corners of his mouth and smiled without speaking, and reached out to rub Lilith's head.Slightly squinting the corners of his eyes, he kept looking at Jiang Ruan, who was bowing his head.Seeing that the young chef was only embarrassed and not angry, he was secretly relieved.
"What is this? It smells so good!" Lilith took a deep breath, as if smelling something.
"The stewed pork is still cooking on the pot, go out for a picnic later. Do you want to scoop some up later? I have made a lot." Jiang Ruan smiled and touched her hot cheeks calmly .
"Picnic! I want it too!" Lilith's eyes lit up.
"Lilith! Brother Zexi and Jiang Ruan go together! When you go to play with your friends, why don't you let me go?"
Aisha tilted her head and whispered in Lilith's ear, "Let the two brothers play and cultivate their relationship, okay? Let them play now, and there may be a baby playing with you in the future, okay?"
Lilith frowned ignorantly, thinking that she could have a baby after letting go now, and she would have earned it anyway, so she nodded in agreement after a while.
Jiang Ruan didn't notice the interaction between Aisha's mother and daughter, and he was completely focused on the braised pork that was about to be baked.Unable to resist putting down the bowls and chopsticks, she walked into the kitchen and lifted the lid of the casserole. Jiang Ruan swallowed her saliva unconsciously due to the strong aroma and the brightly colored skin of the marinated egg.
The soup has absorbed the juice, and the oily stewed meat that has absorbed the taste is gurgling and trembling in the casserole, and the remaining thin juice hangs thickly on the wall of the casserole.
Jiang Ruan couldn't bear it anymore, pulled out a pair of chopsticks and put them into the pot,
"Well, because it's very fragrant, I can't sleep." Mu Zexi rubbed the corners of his eyes inadvertently, glanced at the closed live broadcast control, and turned to look curiously at the red cake behind Jiang Ruan.
"Ah, are you hungry? Charlie said you stayed up late, are you already hungry?" Jiang Ruan patted Mu Zexi's arm, turned around and cut a thick slice of cake, and put a lot of strawberries on it.Finally, he heated up a glass of milk and brought it to Mu Zexi.
