Stop pretending, I am the God of Cooking and I am showing off my cards!

When he came downstairs, Lin Xugang was about to hold Dundun in his arms to draw the lottery.

Only then did I realize that the little guy was not lying down on the reception desk as usual, but had gone into his cabin and was sleeping soundly on his belly, without a blanket.

"Why are you sleeping in broad daylight?"

Shu Yun said:

"Mr. Chen was here when we just had dinner. It was afraid of being bullied by Mr. Chen, so it got into the hut and never came out. When Mr. Chen left, I found that it had fallen asleep inside."

Lin Xu put his hand in and gently touched the little guy's soft belly.

Dundun snorted, then hugged Lin Xu's hand with his paws, turned over and continued to sleep.

Obviously, you won’t come out without enough sleep.

Lin Xu wanted to take his hand out, but Dundun slept soundly in his arms. In that case, let's take this opportunity to draw the prize.

Let’s see how good Dundun is at drawing draws while sleeping.

"lottery!"

I muttered silently in my mind, and the lottery picture immediately appeared in my mind.

According to the system prompts, Lin Xu chose three consecutive draws with a higher chance of winning.

The dishes and techniques are cooked in one spoonful, so that the lottery drawings over and over again will not affect the children's rest.

Shortly after pressing the lottery button, the lottery carousel slowly stopped, and the system prompt sound quickly came to mind:

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the perfect lost dish - stewed duck with lucky fish (from the book "Suiyuan Food List") and chicken tip soup (from the book "Jin Ping Mei"); and for obtaining the perfect cooking technique - pot roast."

That's it? ? ? ? ? ?

Lin Xu was a little confused.

There is no problem with the pot-roasting technique. You can use this technique to make pot-roasted pork elbows, one of Jinan's three elbows. In addition, you can also make pot-roasted beef, pot-roasted mutton and other dishes. They are all new dishes suitable for winter.

The stewed duck with lucky fish is also good. The so-called lucky fish is actually dried abalone.

Stewing duck with abalone is actually not a lost tradition, because many people will habitually add more expensive ingredients to duck stew, such as matsutake, abalone and so on.

However, the stewed duck with lucky fish recorded in "Suiyuan Food List" is different from the one on the market today.

First of all, the method is not to stew, but to simmer. In addition, ham and other ingredients must be put into it. Finally, and most importantly, the soup must be clear and extremely delicious.

Basically no one can do this.

And even if it is done, the restored lucky fish stewed duck will not have the taste and texture recorded by Yuan Mei.

Because although the book "Suiyuan Food List" still exists, Suiyuan vegetables have been lost long ago. Even if you encounter them now, they are different from what is recorded in the book.

Lin Xu didn't expect to win this dish, and it felt like it would shock several cultural figures again.

The only surprise for him was getting chicken tip soup.

The origin of the chicken tip soup in "Jin Ping Mei" is very simple. After the death of Ximen Qing, the family declined. Chunmei, Pan Jinlian's former personal maid, married Lord Guards and climbed to the top.

Chunmei, who has transformed into a high-ranking official, accidentally sees Sun Xue'e, the fourth wife of the Ximen family who was once in charge of cooking, among the refugees.

This is a pair of old enemies. When Pan Jinlian first entered Ximen's house, in order to establish her authority, she sang with Chunmei and used lotus leaf cakes and silver-threaded bream soup to create a relationship between Ximen Qing and Sun Xue'e, which led to Sun Xue'e being beaten.

Now seeing Sun Xue'e again, Chunmei still wanted to take revenge, so she bought Sun Xue'e home and asked her to cook and serve her.

They were in peace at first, but not long after, Chunmei's former best friend, Ximen Qing's son-in-law Chen Jingjing, appeared, making Chunmei's restless heart active again.

She wanted to hook up with Chen Jingjing again, but she was worried that Sun Xue'e, who knew about it, would report her in front of the guards, so she planned to find a reason to kill Sun Xue'e.

The reason Chunmei was looking for was chicken tip soup.

The so-called chicken tip is not the chicken butt that ordinary people understand, but the tip of the chicken wing.

It's thin and tasteless, so braised or grilled is fine, but making soup is a bit difficult.

Chunmei asked Sun Xue'e to make this soup. It was just like Lu Tiha sitting in front of the meat stall and asking Zhen Guanxi to chop ten pounds of minced meat. They were just looking for a reason to make things difficult.

But this time he suddenly picked up this soup, which made Lin Xu speechless:

"System, did you come here just to entertain Sajia?"

How delicious can this kind of trouble-finding soup be?

Relatively speaking, Lin Xu is still more concerned about the eggplant dish in "A Dream of Red Mansions", which is known as the number one dish in the book.

I don’t know what it is like to make Grandma Liu praise it so much.

As I was thinking about it, a huge amount of experience flooded into my mind.

After reading, Lin Xu turned into a black question mark face again.

Because the chicken tip soup he just disliked turned out to be a very good soup.

Blanch the chicken wings, remove the bones, cut them into thin strips, add sour bamboo shoots, pepper and other ingredients and seasonings to make a sour and spicy soup, which is full of color, flavor and flavor.

It’s me who is narrow-minded!

He bent down and glanced at Dundun, who was sleeping soundly in the hut, and whispered:

"My dear son, I will make bullfrog for you today."

As soon as he finished speaking, Dundun, who was sleeping, held Lin Xu's hand and licked it with his little scarlet tongue.

this……

Did you mistake my hand for a bullfrog?

Gently taking his hand out, Lin Xu took the small dolphin pillow that Shu Yun bought and stuffed it in, letting Dundun continue to sleep in his arms.

Back upstairs, he washed his hands and saw Shen Jiayue staring hatefully at the sweet duck and rabbit head in front of him.

"Why don't you eat?"

"I can't eat anymore... Xu Baozhen said it will still taste good after it cools down."

Lin Xu smiled and said:

"I'll just reheat it for you. If it doesn't work, we can make it ourselves. It's not difficult. As long as my baby wants to eat it, it won't be a problem."

Shen Jiayue raised her head and asked suspiciously:

"Why are you so good at talking? Did Master secretly teach you the love secret?"

"Master, why can't you care about me? I don't want to give you the best, so that you can always be so carefree and happy."

"Thank you Xu Bao, go and do your work, I will continue editing the film."

After saying that, Shen Jiayue put the sweet duck aside, reopened the laptop and started editing the film.

Lin Xu returned to the kitchen with the packaged braised food.

After he entered, a certain big baby who was pretending to edit videos excitedly waved his fist.

Wow, Xu Bao's words are too sweet.

Ten thousand times sweeter than sweet duck!

No, I want to give him a surprise.

Thinking of this, Shen Jiayue picked up her phone and sent a message to Chen Yan:

"Yan Bao, I want to give Xu Bao a surprise. Can you give me an idea?"

Chen Yan, who was sitting in the office thinking about what to eat for dinner, saw the news and immediately became interested.

I thought that no one would ask me about relationship issues after I was single, but I didn’t expect this to happen. If that’s the case, let’s keep Dr. Chen’s consultation clinic open.

She replied:

"It's easy to surprise couples, such as buying sexy clothes, stockings, etc., or dressing up as a nun, doctor, or teacher..."

Looking at the message sent, Shen Jiayue blushed:

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm just asking for surprise, you actually gave such embarrassing advice."

"Hey, I gave you advice with good intentions, but I still dislike it. You are embarrassed. Am I not embarrassed at the age of eighteen?"

"Okay, Yan Bao, you're already an old lady, and you're still eighteen years old here. It's no use asking you. I'd better search the Internet."

Chen Yan: "..."

You actually called me an old woman!

Stinky Yueyue, you are the old lady who is rushing to the fourth place!

Mr. Chen was incompetent and furious in the office for a while. Then he picked up the small mirror on his desk and looked at his fair and smooth face.

"Am I really old? Will Ren Jie dislike my aunt?"

She read and thought to herself, then finally stood up, took her bag and walked out. As soon as she opened the door, she bumped into Sister Weiwei.

"Are you going out, Mr. Chen?"

"Well, let's go to a spa, and then do some body rejuvenation. After a woman reaches her twenties, she has to treat herself better."

Sister Weiwei blinked:

"Hasn't your thirtieth birthday already passed?"

Chen Yan: "!!!!!!"

Ahhhhh, why are you mentioning my age again?

Are you collectively jealous of my beauty?

Shen Jiayue, who didn't know that her cousin's mentality was shattered by just one word, searched the Internet for questions about surprising her boyfriend, and a bunch of answers immediately appeared below.

"Give him an hour or two of free time every day."

"Don't nag him to play games, don't touch his private money."

"Men are nostalgic, so don't take the initiative to buy him new underwear."

"When new graphics cards and game consoles come on the market, buy them for him as soon as possible."

"I use big-name toiletries for him. Sisters who are reluctant to spend money can fill their own empty bottles with Dabao SOD honey. He will be moved to tears."

"Play games with him, he will be very happy even if he is a bit stupid."

"..."

Well, there are so many!

Shen Jiayue looked at it carefully, and then searched for the graphics card. She remembered that the graphics card used in the computer at home was 3080Ti, and the latest one now is 4090, so buy a new graphics card.

She immediately placed an order for a 4090 graphics card.

There are many brands of graphics cards, and Rich Shen didn't know which one to buy, so she just bought the most expensive one.

Anyway, it's only tens of thousands of yuan. If it can bring a surprise to Xu Bao, it will be worth it.

After buying the graphics card, she thought of another suggestion: play games with him.

Shen Baobao was not very interested in games, but it was okay to accompany Xu Bao, so he bought a PS5 game console. After buying it, it was equipped with a controller, so that the two of them could play the same game.

Hahahaha, it must be very enjoyable.

She placed the order in the same city, so before dinner, all these graphics cards and other items were delivered to the store.

In order to give Lin Xu a more pleasant surprise, Shen Jiayue drove back and put these things at home.

Hum hum, won't there be a surprise after get off work?

At this time, Lin Xu didn't know the surprise arranged for his baby, and was still thinking about when would be the best time to serve the sweet duck.

The sweet-skinned duck uses relatively small shelduck, which is completely opposite to the muscovy duck used for ginger duck.

If there is a new dish, you have to make a reservation with Lao Huang in advance, and you have to add more manpower to the stewed food department. After all, the existing dishes alone have already kept Xu Xinhua and the others very busy.

Today's dinner was relatively simple. I had claypot rice made by Guo Xinghai. The rice was topped with sausages and other ingredients. The rice absorbed the cured flavor, and the bottom was crispy rice crust.

Everyone's mouth is full of oil.

As for the sweet-skinned duck and rabbit heads brought back from Diaoyutai, they were all eaten before the meal started.

After eating and drinking, the evening rush hour arrives.

Everyone was involved in intense work.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Lin Xu, who was almost busy, left work with his wife and children.

When he got home and was changing his shoes, Shen Baobao said with a smile:

"Xubao, I have prepared a little surprise for you."

Little surprise?

Lin Xu didn't care either.

He was going to finish all the games tonight, so after changing his shoes, he planned to go upstairs and turn on the computer.

But when he saw the box on the coffee table in the living room, he was suddenly stunned.

"Clang, clang, clang! Is this a surprise?"

Shen Jiayue proudly picked up the two boxes, one containing the 4090 graphics card and the other containing the PS5 game console.

For men, these are very attractive.

"Are you happy? Are you happy?"

Lin Xu smiled helplessly, opened the drawer under the TV cabinet, and took out a PS5 set from inside:

"Do you think I should be happy or unhappy now?"

I already have a game console at home, but I have never played it.

As for the 4090, there are mixed reviews online.

The 3080Ti computer that Lin Xu is currently equipped with has the right power supply, motherboard, and CPU. If it is replaced with a 4090, the computer's power supply needs to be changed, otherwise it will not be able to drive the graphics card.

And if the power supply is changed, the motherboard must be upgraded to the latest high-end model, otherwise it will not match.

In addition, the 12th generation i7 processor currently used must be replaced with i9, otherwise it will be a small horse and a big cart when paired with the graphics card and will not match.

After this replacement, the heat dissipation also needs to be updated, the chassis needs to be replaced with a large tower-type chassis, and memory modules must also be added.

Therefore, after adding a graphics card, the entire computer must be replaced.

Not to mention the money spent, just the time wasted...

Lin Xu explained it to Baby Shen in detail. He originally wanted to quit, but seeing the unhappy look on this girl's face, he said:

"Let's stay for now. I'll ask Yue Liyue when he's not busy in the next two days and ask him to help me upgrade my computer... As for this PS5, just use it as a backup machine."

Well, after all, it is a surprise carefully prepared by the baby, so it cannot be too disappointing for her.

Lin Xu looked at a pair of wireless controllers installed alone next to him, and asked curiously:

"What are you buying two controllers for? Is there an event?"

"No, I just want to play games with you. People say playing games with your boyfriend can make your boyfriend very happy. I want to try it."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xu stopped going upstairs to play games. Instead, he connected the PS5 to the TV, debugged the two controllers, and then said:

"Then let's find a simpler two-player game to play."

Shen Jiayue heard this:

"Wow, can we still play like this? Let's start after I change my clothes."

She happily rushed upstairs to change into a more comfortable home clothes, then moved the coffee table aside, pushed the sofa forward, sat in front of the TV, and began to choose games.

Lin Xu had only played single-player games before, so it was not easy to find a two-player game.

He simply logged into the mall to search, and after searching he found the PS5 version of the ancient game Contra.

I remember playing with Sister Yuanyuan when I was in elementary school, and was pinched twice by her for running too fast and not waiting for Sister Yuanyuan. Now that I saw this game, Lin Xu immediately chose to buy it.

After successful installation it said:

"Come on, I'll let you play a game that I played with Sister Yuanyuan when I was a child. Let me familiarize you with it first."

Shen Jiayue saw that it was a shooting game and immediately became interested:

"Okay, okay. When I traveled abroad with my parents a few years ago, I got several ten rings at the shooting range. Today I will show you my shooting talent."

Open the game, select the two-player mode, familiarize yourself with the operation, and then the game begins.

"Wow, it's so exciting. The gun can change when you eat. This goddess is really good at scattering flowers. Hahaha, you don't even have to look at it, just shoot straight away..."

Shen Jiayue had never played this kind of game in the past.

Plus, I was working with Lin Xu, and I became excited.

Lin Xu didn't want to say anything at first, but after seeing this girl's actions, he couldn't help but remind her:

"Baby, it's me who uses the bomb. Your character is behind. Come up quickly. Let's jump forward together, otherwise the character you control will die again."

"oh……"

Shen blushed for a while. Fortunately, the video was not recorded and Yan Bao was not here, otherwise he would have laughed at him.

Well, although playing games is fun, you must be reserved and not yell.

But within two minutes...

"Ahhhhhhh I'm about to fall, Xu Bao grab me, hurry up... it's over, I'm dead again."

After passing the first level with difficulty, Lin Xu asked:

"How's it going? Do you feel good about playing the game?"

"It's so cool. Keep going. Let me show you what this strong lady is like. It's amazing!"

Shen Jiayue sighed in her heart as she spoke.

It is indeed the right thing to ask Baidu when you are unsure about internal affairs. Playing games with your boyfriend is exciting and exciting. It is so fun. This kind of exciting game is really something that girls cannot refuse.

Lin Xu yawned secretly.

It felt like I was playing games with my cousins ​​at home during the summer vacation.

I kept playing until about ten o'clock in the evening, and when the controller received a low battery warning, Lin Xu said:

"Okay, okay, I won't play any more. The controller is out of battery. Just turn it back on. It's time for us to wash up and go to bed. We have to get up early tomorrow."

"Okay, okay!"

However, when Lin Xu walked out of the bathroom after taking a shower, he discovered that Baby Shen was not in the bedroom.

I couldn't find it when I went to Dundun's room.

It wasn't until I went downstairs that I discovered that the TV in the living room was on and the lights were not turned on. A pretty figure was sitting in front of the TV, playing a single-player version of Contra.

this……

Addicted?

Lin Xu coughed slightly, Shen Jiayue quickly turned off the TV and game console, stood up and said:

"Have you finished washing? I just...just checked to see if the handle is fully charged..."

"Playing games like this is not good for your eyes. Sony TVs are famous for their bright colors. It hurts your eyes even more under dim light... Go, go upstairs and sleep. Don't sneak down to play anymore."

"oh……"

Holding the hand of his new "Internet Addicted Girl", Lin Xu said:

"Playing games must be relaxed and not addictive, nor can it disrupt your original schedule. Otherwise, what is the difference between you and those otakus with dark circles under their eyes?"

"I know, then after get off work in the evening, can you play with me for a while?"

"Of course it's no problem."

Shen Jiayue jumped for joy and put her head on Lin Xu's shoulder:

"Thank you husband~"

After saying that, he tried his best to make amends for himself:

"Actually, playing games is not without any benefits. At least I didn't eat anything tonight, right? I want to use games instead of midnight snacks every night from now on... It's not too much."

The young couple looked at Dundun, then went back to the room and went to bed to rest.

Soon, the weekend comes.

Lin Xu took his fiancée Shen Jiayue, cousin Chen Yuanyuan, sister-in-law Chen Yan, and son Dundun and drove to the North Fourth Ring Road.

Behind his car, Dou Wenjing drove her BMW 5 Series. Sitting in the car were Feng Ge and two formalities staff, preparing to follow the boss to the headquarters of Maisarui.

Choose a car, test drive, and sign a contract!
