Celestial Master Cultivation Diary

Chapter 169. 168. "You Don't Care"

"Why is your phone broken?"

Li Lei was still reading the newspaper while wearing his presbyopic glasses. Seeing this woman who was coming and going like the wind ignored him, he couldn't help pushing the frame of the glasses: "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to talk to my in-laws."

"My in-laws are in-laws all day long, and I haven't even written off these eight characters."

Shaking the newspaper in his hand, as soon as Li Lei's words fell, he was greeted with a series of lessons: "I didn't write any horoscopes? How can I not know my own son? You don't know how to tell him all day long. If the child makes a phone call, I will kill you."

Looking at her inexplicably, Li Lei scratched the back of his sparse head, continued to read the newspaper, thinking while reading, then took out his mobile phone and called his son.

"Hello, Uncle."

"Hey, Xiaoyou." Holding the phone far away, he squinted his eyes and recognized it for a long time. After confirming again and again that it was his son's phone number, he put it back to his ear: "Where is... Li Zhe?"

"Brother Li, he went to cook."

"Cooking?" Li Lei was stunned, feeling that his cognition was being gradually shattered, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses: "Then, you have worked hard..."

"Uncle, I don't work hard, it's Brother Li who cooks."

"Ok, I know……"

Clearing his throat, Li Lei didn't know what to say for a while. Usually, when this little girl came to play at home, she would either talk to Li Zhe or chat with Han Mei. Call me back when he's done."

"it is good."

……

Sighing, Lin Youyou went to the kitchen with her mobile phone: "It's over."

"what happened?"

"Your father's phone number, I feel that after a while, my mother should call me too."

Li Zhe laughed and didn't take it seriously: "Just hit it, it's not something shameful, it's good to take this opportunity to talk to them."

Scratching her hair, Lin Youyou felt that her thoughts were in a mess. Although she had a good relationship with her mother and the scope of her chats was very informal, she had never talked about her relationship status.

Perhaps it was because of the concepts she had developed since she was a child, she always found it difficult to speak up in front of her parents and mention her relationship problems.

Sighing and suffering from a headache, she looked at Li Zhe who was looking up and down, and decided to put these things aside: "What are you doing? Didn't you say you want to make snail noodles?"

"I'm boiling water."

"..." Looking at the buzzing electric kettle in front of him, Lin Youyou was a little confused: "What do you boil water for?"

"Bubble powder."

"...Isn't this noodle to be boiled?" Picking up the bag of snail noodle, Lin Youyou read out the edible method written on the packaging bag verbatim: "It's written on it—— Rice noodles should be boiled in boiling water for 10 minutes, strained..."

"I know." Blinking her eyes awkwardly, Li Zhe interrupted her: "I'm just boiling water."

"...Then why don't you just boil water in a small saucepan?"

"This... Isn't this convenient? I just happened to be a little thirsty, and the electric kettle can pour a glass of water."

Lin Youyou tilted her head, a little puzzled: "Are you drinking boiling water?"

"...What kind of boiling water should I drink? I'm cold. I'll pour a glass of water and let it cool down here." Li Zhe poked his neck, trying to explain his behavior reasonably: "When the snail noodles are cooked, the water will cool down right away. Just drink it—it’s called time management.”

Nodding suspiciously, Lin Youyou always felt a little uneasy: "You know how to do it, right? If you don't know how to do it, there are steps to follow."

"I will definitely do it."

Taking the bag of snail noodles in her hand, Li Zhe looked like a veteran: "Just kidding, you still need to see the steps to cook snail noodles? You really don't know anything about this chef."

sizzle-

The packaging bag was torn open easily, and the rich meal packs inside were shaken out, one bag after another, directly petrifying Li Zhe's sight.

He originally thought that they were both instant food products, there should be no difference between snail noodles and instant noodles, and the merchant should have prepared everything, and then just waited for him to buy it and soak it for a while——

In the end, Lin Youyou told him that he had to cook it himself.

Originally, he thought it was the same as cooking instant noodles, just put a noodle cake, a bag of vegetable buns, and a bag of soup buns all at once——

As a result, he poured out another seven or eight fancy little packets of food all at once.

Sour bamboo shoot package, sour vinegar package, spicy oil package, soup stock package, dry rice noodle package, fungus, day lily, sour beans... one package after another, each package seems to have a different time and order of putting in.

There was a moment of scalp numbness.

This is no longer something that can be saved by the simple steps on the packaging bag. He even thinks that the manufacturer should include an instruction manual inside.

Noticing his flash of panic and the sudden silence, Lin Youyou coughed twice, tilted her head and looked up at him: "Aren't you sure you don't want to read the step-by-step instructions?"

"Oh, don't look at it. I often make it. My master snail powder, can you understand?...Have you never done it before? You just have to watch it and learn it."

"Okay." Lin Youyou said with a cute face, "Then you teach me."

"First——" Li Zhe paused for a while, and picked up a packet like drawing lots: "Put this soup packet in."

Apprentice You hesitated: "The first step... Shouldn't you pour water first?"

Did the man ignore the pot of water he just boiled?
Such a big pot!
"I know, it's easier to put the ingredients in the pot first and boil them with hot water than to pour the water first and then add the ingredients...It's like soaking milk powder, you understand?" Li Zhe said serious nonsense , began to tear his soup packet.

Xiaoyou scratched her head: "No...you have to order rice noodles first."

Although she has never ordered snail noodles, rice noodles are similar, and the steps are not bad.

Licking his lips, Li Zhe searched uneasily, and finally found a packet of dry rice noodles on the table: "I, I know, I must know... What you said is a common method, I have my own unique method." The snail noodle technique, this... this soup, it takes time, I prepare the soup first, and the taste will be more sophisticated in the end."

"Then you have boiled soup in this pot, what will you use to cook rice noodles?"

"Just... put it in together. When the soup is ready, you can start adding rice noodles. It's delicious."

"But the rice noodles have to be filtered out after cooking, so the pot of soup has to be thrown away?" Lin Youyou blinked, feeling that her cognition of cooking had suffered an unprecedented impact.

Li Zhe racked his brains to explain: "This is called turning the original soup into the original food, and it will taste better if it is made this way. I have done it many times...@#%&...don't worry about it."

"Really, you don't have to worry about it." Pushing her out of the kitchen, Li Zhe waved her away: "Go and do your work, just wait for the delicious food to come out of the pan with peace of mind."

Even if she was pushed out of the door, Lin Youyou would still shout out in her stubborn voice in the living room: "Remember to throw away your slurry! It's too cold."

"I know, I know, you don't have to worry about it, just leave it to me."

Quickly closing the kitchen door, Li Zhe was quiet for a few seconds. After confirming that she would not come back, he moved his feet little by little, picked up the packaging bag that he had just thrown away, and squinted to read the cooking method recorded on it.

Put dry rice flour in...

After reading half a line, the door behind him was pushed open again. Chef Li put the packaging bag back into the trash can with quick eyesight and quick hands, and then picked up the trash bag again. The whole movement Flowing clouds and flowing water are done in one go, but the posture of getting up is a little flustered and staggering:
"Then what, I... I'll take out the trash first, and you cook the powder for me."

Coughing twice, Lin Youyou almost stifled internal injuries: "Mmm...ok...but Brother Li, I just took out the trash this morning."

Holding an empty garbage bag with only one snail noodle packaging bag, Li Zhe hid behind his back and said plausibly: "It's summer, mosquitoes are easy to grow, it's not wrong to be diligent, I'll go first, remember to cook the noodle."

After finishing the words, he emphasized again: "Boiling the noodles is the second step. I still have to boil my soup bag first, that is the first step."

"Mmmmmmm..."

　During the second day, I had a minor operation. The two days are really tight, sorry.
