    "Father and son are not in shape!"

    In the kitchen, Zhang Xiaoru hung up the phone call from Lao Shen just now with a bewildered face.

    The four of us had dinner together tonight. She bought a lot of vegetables herself, and Rika Asahine also bought a lot of vegetables.

    Asahane Rika was almost embarrassed to get under the covers in the living room and rolled around, but when she came to the kitchen, she felt a lot more at ease.

    The key is that Shen Yujun's mother is very talkative, and she likes talking to Zhang Xiaoru very much.

    "Auntie, is so much garlic enough?"

    Asahane Rika took the initiative and helped to peel a lot of garlic, and her fingers were hot and red.

    "Enough is enough."

    Zhang Xiaoru hurriedly came over to take the bowl and took the garlic, and asked Lixiang to wash her hands, otherwise she would feel distressed if such beautiful little hands were made as rough as hers.

    "Auntie taught you that you don't need to peel the garlic, just put it on the cutting board and slap it with a knife, and the garlic skin will fall off as soon as you take it."

    "Is that so..."

    Asahane Rika felt learned.

    But Zhang Xiaoru didn't expect to say to her again, "However, when you usually use garlic for cooking, you call Shen Yu Peel and ask him to peel a little more, put it in the refrigerator and put it in a fresh-keeping bag, it won't go bad."

    "Ah?"

    "Don't let him be so relaxed, just waiting to eat like an uncle."

    Zhang Xiaoru didn't know what her son was, and she knew with her butt that Rika Asahine must have done everything by herself for cooking and washing dishes.

    "It's okay, I'm not tired."

    "Then don't get used to him, or he will become more and more excessive."

    Asahane Rika had no choice but to nod, feeling that Shen Yujun's mother was also quite amazing...

    The menu for dinner has been determined, four dishes and one soup, pork bone and corn soup, braised pork trotters, steamed sea bass, cola chicken wings, fried cabbage, very typical Chinese cuisine.

    "Auntie, can I learn how to cook with you?"

    Rika Asahine looked at Zhang Xiaoru expectantly, watching this Chinese housewife handle the ingredients with ease, she felt that Shen Yu's mother seemed to be playing kung fu, and her big eyes were full of admiration.

    Such a big pig's trotters were chopped off, the perch was beautifully cut, and the ginger, green onion, and red pepper were cut finely and evenly.

    The key is that Zhang Xiaoru is still talking to her while she is working, and doing such delicate work, it seems that she can do it with her eyes closed.

    Rika Asahine was stunned. If she were to handle these ingredients, it would take more than half an hour. Shen Yujun's mother would be ready in less than ten minutes.

    "Of course you can."

    Zhang Xiaoru smiled and said, "You must have never eaten braised pig's trotters in Japan. This is Auntie's specialty. Shen Yu likes it the most. I make it for him every time I come here."

    It turns out that Shen Yujun likes to eat braised pork trotters...

    Asahane Rika secretly wrote down that when he was shopping in the supermarket before, he asked him what he liked to eat, and he said it was casual, obviously there was something he liked very much...

    Hmph, Shen Yujun is really duplicitous.

    Asahane Rika was determined to learn this dish well, and she was naturally more attentive.

    Zhang Xiaoru first blanched the chopped pig trotters and took them out for later use.

    "This step is to remove the blood and smell of the pig's trotters. I will teach you to fry the candy color."

    "Uh-huh!"

    In terms of cooking, Rika Asahine is more than ten times more talented than Shen, and Zhang Xiaoru is also very easy to teach.

    "Put the oil... put rock sugar... use a low fire, stir like this, you see, it will slowly turn red in color..."

    "Thinking about it!"

    "What pot?"

    "Eh? Oh, it means so powerful! Auntie, you are so amazing!"

    Zhang Xiaoru has heard many people's compliments, but from the other party's expression, you can always see a compliment or polite look, only Asaha Rika is different, she is really really surprised and admired, this exaggerated exclamation is also visceral.

    In an instant, Zhang Xiaoru felt a little overwhelmed. After decades of cooking, she finally knew what to do!

    "Haha, what is this, well, just fry it to this color, and it will be mushy if you fry it again."

    "Hmm! I remember it!"

    Zhang Xiaoru brought over the boiled pig's trotters: "Now put the pig's trotters in, stir fry and color, you see... the color has come up, put star anise, cinnamon, fragrant leaves, ginger slices, aged vinegar..."

    Asahine Lixiang studied very seriously, her little nose sniffed and sniffed, and said with joy: "It's so fragrant! I have already smelled a very strong, very strong fragrance!"

    "It's not good yet. The pig's trotters need to be stewed to be delicious. The meat will melt as soon as you bite it. It looks fat but not greasy at all. Let's press it with a pressure cooker."

    Zhang Xiaoru poured the pig trotters in the pot into the prepared pressure cooker, pressed it for a few minutes, then poured it out into the casserole and simmered for 20 minutes. When the juice was almost collected, as soon as the lid was opened, thick wafts of thick water wafted in the kitchen. Strong meat flavor.

    "smell good!!"

    Asahane Rika was dying of hunger.

    Zhang Xiaoru brought a bowl and first filled her with a pig's trotter: "Daughter, come and try it."

    Asahane Rika was a little tangled: "I haven't eaten yet, Auntie, will it be rude for me to do this..."

    "Who dares to say that you are rude, this is specially approved by me. Those who are busy in the kitchen have the privilege to eat first. Watch those two men and make them hungry."

    "Well, then I'll eat."

    Asahane Rika took the bowl, picked up the chopsticks and couldn't wait to open the pork trotters. It was already very badly stewed, and the aroma was exuding. When it was sent to the mouth to taste it, it only felt that the lips and teeth were filled with satisfaction.

    "Delicious!"

    "Eat more if it's delicious. When you learn it, make it for your aunt next time."

    "Yeah! I want to make it for my father and mother, and they haven't eaten this dish before..."

    Involuntarily, Asahine Rika remembered her father and mother who were far away in Japan. The time there was an hour faster than this, so they should be eating...

    So took out mobile phone, took a picture and sent it to mother, telling her that next time go home, will make a lot of newly learned dishes for her to try.

    "Tell auntie honestly, are you still used to living here?"

    Zhang Xiaoru, who is also a mother, was also a little touched when she saw this, thinking that Shen Yu had gone abroad, she would be worried to death.

    A long time ago, Shen Yu also mentioned many times that he wanted to study abroad for further study, but she and Lao Shen refuted them all and were reluctant to let him go.

    Asahane Rika lowered her head and said while eating pig trotters:

    "It's still a little bit unaccustomed... It's because I'm not familiar with this place, but I like it very much, and then Shen Yu-jun and everyone are very good to me... I'm trying to adapt, or worry about myself Some places are not good, I bought a lot of vegetables today, I downloaded the software for cooking, and I have to learn it bit by bit..."

    "Besides going to school, have you ever been to other places? There are many interesting places in southern Jiangsu."

    Rika Asahine shook her head: "I'm quite a stupid person, and I can't always remember the way. After I'm familiar with this place, I can go play by myself."

    "Let Shen Yu take you there, is he not willing? That's how this stinky boy takes care of you? Leave you to cook for him at home? Wait for me to teach him a lesson..."

    Asahine Rika hurriedly grabbed Zhang Xiaoru and explained, "No, no! Shen Yujun is very good to me! I know that he is actually a very gentle person. He is different from me. He is a person with goals and has serious things to do. My business is too small..."

    "What business is it to face several broken computers all day long, such a big and beautiful girl is like a stone monkey in front of him!"

    The more Zhang Xiaoru thought about it, the more angry she became, so she went downstairs with a spatula and beat people.

    (Thanks to the rudder master who knows how to return after getting lost and rewarded~!)
