Chapter 18 Love Bento

It was the first time for Liu Huaxing to cook at this age, so his parents were naturally curious and kept watching from the sidelines. So Liu Huaxing can only pretend that he is not particularly skilled, and take his time when chopping vegetables. But his craftsmanship is still there after all, and the old fritters like his parents who have been cooking all the year round can tell the clues at a glance.

"Yo, dog stuff is quite professional." Liu Xuebin watched Liu Huaxing marinate the cut chicken breast in a bowl with soy sauce, minced ginger and various seasonings, and immediately raised his eyebrows, "I didn't teach you that. , where did you learn it?"

"I don't go to the Internet cafe to surf the Internet for fun." Liu Huaxing said proudly, and then cut all the materials in advance, so that he can do it directly when he wakes up the next morning. Otherwise, he would have to go for a run first when he gets up in the morning, and then make bento, and there would be no time at all.

Liu Huaxing looked at the materials at hand, because there were only chicken breasts, potatoes and some vegetables, so he could only make a few simple home-cooked dishes. But even though it is a home-cooked dish, flowers can also be made. In cooking, to put it bluntly, the details determine success or failure.

Because it is a bento, you have to wait until noon to eat after taking it, so you can't cook ordinary home-cooked dishes, but try your best to make meals that are delicious when cold.

"Fry a chicken chop, have a potato and vegetable salad, and then have a tomato scrambled egg? No, no, no, let's put the tomato in the salad, and make a thick fried egg alone... and then have a fried ham." Liu Huaxing is ready. After planning, preparations began immediately.

Usually chicken chops are made with chicken thighs, but now I only have chicken breasts at home, so I can only make do with it. Because of the lack of fat, chicken breast meat will taste very dry if it is simply fried, so Liu Huaxing chooses to fry it first to ensure that its taste will not be too old, then wrap it in bread crumbs and fry it quickly at high temperature to make the coating crisp and delicious .

The next step is to make the sauce, because I don't know Qin Yulu's taste, Liu Huaxing plans to prepare two sauces: one is similar to McDonald's sweet and sour sauce but with garlic and soy sauce added for seasoning, the taste is more mellow; One opts for a salty English Worcestershire sauce, seasoned with a little white vinegar, stock and pepper for extra flavor.

Of course, because the bento is to be eaten at noon, the sauce should not be too thin, otherwise it will be absorbed by the rice and chicken and dry out. It is necessary to collect the juice on a low heat first, and wait for the sauce to become viscous.

"Hey?" Liu Xuebin tasted the two sauces made by Liu Huaxing on the side, and immediately raised his eyebrows: "Is that the case, is this sauce going to go with chicken chops?"

"Yes." Liu Huaxing wiped off his sweat and said with satisfaction, "Okay, all the preparations are done."

The next morning, Monday. Today is a big day for Liu Huaxing. One is the result of the monthly exam, and the other is that Qin Yulu wants to taste the bento he prepared. Early in the morning, he got up and went for a run, then went home to prepare lunch. He beat the eggs first, turned the heat in the pot to medium heat, poured the egg liquid into it, and then turned and rolled the egg liquid when it was just formed.

Such egg rolls will look very tender, not to mention, they look yellow and delicious.

Then he wrapped the fried chicken in a coat and fried it quickly, poured the sauce, and finally another key point of the bento: presentation. For bento, the exquisiteness of the plate is very important, and this is the last link where the details determine success or failure.

He squeezed the rice tightly with his hands, put it squarely into the lunch box, and then arranged the chicken chops, salad, egg rolls and fried ham one by one. The flowers are green, red and yellow, and it looks quite appetizing. At this point, Liu Huaxing nodded in satisfaction and put the lid on the bento.

Of course, he can't just focus on his beloved girl and forget his family.

"Mom and Dad, I made a few more egg rolls and chicken chops, you can eat them and go to work." Liu Huaxing shouted, and put the bento in his schoolbag. Seeing this, his mother Lu Jing asked curiously: "Hey, why are there two servings? Do you eat two servings by yourself?"

"I made it for my classmate. She will have lunch with me at noon." Liu Huaxing replied simply, then packed his schoolbag and pushed his bicycle downstairs. After meeting Yang Ying at the gate of the community, the two rode to the school. In fact, this is the second time for Liu Huaxing to experience this Monday, and this time is the same as last time, the whole school is full of depression.

But Liu Huaxing was in an excellent mood. He had been looking forward to this day for several days.

When they came to the classroom, several students were checking the monthly exam report card posted on the wall at the door of the class.

Liu Huaxing took a quick glance, and then found himself in the third place in the class. Before reading the files last time, his grades were the first in the class, but this time he lowered his political history scores by more than 20 points, so his ranking fell to the third in the class, and the whole grade ranked forty-six , and Qin Yulu followed closely behind, ranking fourth in the class and over fifty in the school.

"Perfect..." Seeing the results on the report card, Liu Huaxing clenched his fists excitedly.

When she came to the seat, Qin Yulu rested her chin, with a faint smile on her face, glared at him and said, "Hmph, you are lucky this time, you are more than ten points taller than me, next time I will definitely win you!"

"Oh, let's not talk about that." Liu Huaxing changed the subject and took out a bento from his schoolbag, "Come on, I promise you, two meat and two vegetables. Try it, today is a free trial, open to eat. Taste a little while it's still hot."

Liu Huaxing deliberately slowed down, and slowly lifted the lid of the bento. The expression on Qin Yulu's face changed from curiosity to surprise. Obviously, from the visual point of view, the presentation of this bento is quite exquisite, enough to arouse people's appetite.

"Hurry up, the freshly fried chicken chops are the most delicious." Liu Huaxing handed over the bento, "Try a small piece of both sauces? Because I don't know if you like the sweet style or the salty style, so I will both Prepare one."

"Hmm..." Qin Yulu pursed her lower lip and was a little hesitant, but Liu Huaxing saw her throat shaking slightly, obviously swallowing, and then stretched out her slender index finger to pick up a piece of chicken chop and ate it.

The sound of "Hang Chi!" showed its crunchy taste, Qin Yulu narrowed her eyes slightly: "Hmm!"

"This one is with sweet and sour sauce. Let's try the spicy one." Liu Huaxing pointed to another chicken chop and said.

"No, let's save it for lunch. I just came here after breakfast." Qin Yulu shook her head repeatedly and said, still holding the half-eaten chicken chop in her hand, "Not bad..."

In terms of Qin Yulu's personality, "not bad" is already a very high evaluation.

"Are the egg rolls sweet or salty?" Qin Yulu asked curiously after eating the leftover chicken chop.

"Sweet, because I don't know what taste you like, so I chose the conservative route. Do you like salty?" Liu Huaxing asked, Qin Yulu smiled slightly: "Sweet is good..."

"Then, after lunch today, tell me if you want to order another meal." Liu Huaxing confidently handed over the bento in his hand, Qin Yulu looked around, and then took advantage of no one's attention to their side , secretly picked up the lunch box, threw it hastily into his schoolbag, and then quickly sat down and pretended nothing happened.
