Chapter 1313 "All I Want for Christmas Is You"
Chapter 1313 "All I Want for Christmas Is You"
Then add the butter, and finally top it with three layers of cheese.
It's practically a super calorie bomb! The only steps are to pour it in and stir, pour it in and stir, pour it in and stir.
Finally, put it in the oven and you're done.
Tang Tang's head was buzzing, and she turned to look at the other men.
Surprisingly, the most presentable were Song Mu and Jiang Ran.
Song Mu was cutting beef. He cut the fresh, large chunks of beef brisket into appropriately sized small cubes and placed them on a plate to the side for later use.
Then he chopped up some potatoes and carrots, as well as some onions and radishes.
These are the familiar cooking steps!
Tang Tang leaned closer, touched. "Mr. Song, what are you going to do?"
Song Mu chuckled softly, put the beef into the water to heat it, and skimmed off the foam. "I see there's a stew pot. I'm going to stew a pot of braised beef brisket with potatoes."
"That's great!" Tang Tang offered a small suggestion, "I like stewed potatoes that are soft and sticky!"
"Okay," Song Mu said, and washed two more potatoes.
Tang Tang turned her head with a happy smile to look at Jiang Ran on the other side. She saw him cutting eggplant into thin diamond-shaped strips. His knife skills were surprisingly good, and he cut the strips into long, thin pieces.
"Brother Jiang Ran~ What are you doing~"
Just as the oil was heated, Jiang Ran prepared the chopped eggplant and said to Tang Tang, "Move back a little, be careful the oil doesn't splash on you."
Tang Tang blinked and took a small step back.
Then Jiang Ran tested the oil temperature remotely, and then poured in the chopped eggplant. Instantly, a crackling sound rang out, and a lot of oil splattered out.
With three quick dips, the eggplants were fried until golden brown and crispy.
"Let's make flavorful eggplant," Jiang Ran said. "Don't rush, it'll be ready to eat in a little while."
The turkey was already in the oven, its belly brushed with butter and stuffed with a bunch of random stuffing.
Although Tang Tang felt that it was completely unnecessary, turkeys weren't very tasty to begin with, so she went with the tradition anyway.
In this kitchen, Tang Tang was practically a mascot. The other men wouldn't let her lift a finger, so she was incredibly bored, looking around and smelling everything.
Soon, as various aromas wafted out, Tang Tang began to freeload.
Wang Feiyan's method was very simple and straightforward: fried pork tenderloin. The pork tenderloin, which was just bought from the supermarket, was cut into strips, coated with a prepared batter, and quickly fried in oil.
Since it wasn't time yet, Wang Feiyan simply fried a small amount for Tang Tang to satisfy her craving, and then added chili powder.
"Watch out, it's hot!"
He handed Tang Tang a small bowl containing four or five small pieces of crispy pork. "Eat some first, save some room for dinner."
Tang Tang happily held the bowl and ate. Underneath the crispy batter was tender and juicy pork tenderloin. Every bite was fragrant with oil and meat, it was absolutely delicious!
Meanwhile, Sky, who was frying meatballs on the other side, was not to be outdone and immediately stuffed half a bowl into Tang Tang's hand.
The dish Sky made is a traditional Thai snack made with pork and leeks, and it also has finely chopped water chestnuts for added texture.
It tastes completely different from crispy pork.
Tang Tang gave Sky a thumbs up, "Not bad! Sky, you can even cook!"
"Humph!"
Sky feigned indifference with an air of arrogance, but secretly a smile crept onto his lips.
At this moment, these men were each displaying their unique abilities, like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea.
Chi Ningbei was making seafood sour soup, while Qi Yan... Qi Yan was carving a fruit platter.
Yes, there is indeed one person here who really can't cook at all, and that is our beautiful Qi.
He's truly the kind of person who's completely out of touch with reality, even clueless about basic agricultural concepts. Ironically, it all seems kind of normal...
Of course, not being able to cook doesn't mean you can't do other things.
Qi Yan had a lot of fruits and vegetables in front of her, the kind that were easy to carve.
Apples, cantaloupes, cucumbers, carrots, etc.
He was carving with his head down when he saw Tang Tang coming over. He smiled slightly and handed her a carved carrot rose.
"Wow……"
The carving is incredibly lifelike.
However, Tang Tang couldn't help but laugh when she saw the scene at Qi Yan's feet.
His carvings depicted chopped vegetables and fruits. At Qi Yan's feet lay a small mongrel and a white tiger, both of them enthusiastically eating the fruits and vegetables that Qi Yan had tossed to them.
Tang Tang sighed and said to the two of them, "Can't you two have some ambition?"
"Woof woof woof~~"
"Ouch~owoo~"
Unfortunately, it seems that these two really have no ambition left.
Tang Tang looked up and saw the Great King lying on the sofa not far away, with his head resting on his paws.
Sure enough, the king is the king; he's practically a different creature from the little tiger.
Even when the king is lounging lazily on the sofa, he still exudes the aura of the king of beasts.
Tang Tang shook her head, grinned, and secretly kissed Qi Yan on the cheek before looking at the others.
King was making paella, chopping up various ingredients and setting them aside.
Edwin and Cedric seem to have reached an agreement to share the same sauce, with Edwin using it to grill beef ribs and Cedric using it to grill beef tongue.
Of course, the most important part of the Western meal, the steak, was prepared by Ghost. The butler thoughtfully prepared various cuts, including ribeye, sirloin, and tenderloin... The marbling was quite beautiful, and one could already imagine the rich fat and meaty aroma after taking a bite.
Land is always very considerate and attentive. He made the only cold dish, or rather, two cold dishes.
One is an extremely simple salad. It's very simple: just put all kinds of vegetables in a salad bowl, drizzle with olive oil and salad dressing, and you're done.
Another dish is a traditional Thai spicy and sour salad, with seafood as the main ingredient.
Pre-cut lobster meat, octopus tentacles, star jellyfish, sea bream, sea hare, freshwater prawns... can all be added to the cold dish.
In addition, the ingredients used to accompany the dishes are also diverse and plentiful.
Tang Tang silently touched her stomach.
She had just been munching on bites here and there to satisfy her cravings, but now her stomach is about to rumble!
Because there were too many people, the original dining table was not enough, so Tang Xiao and Tang Yu were putting together a new dining table and gently placing the tablecloth on it.
One by one, the pristine white plates were placed in their designated spots, and of course, the gleaming silver cutlery was also polished to a shine.
The table was decorated with bouquets and candles, creating a very romantic and festive atmosphere.
Tang Tang suddenly seemed to remember something, turned on the stereo, and then found a song.
“I don’t want a lot for Christmas~”
""There is just one thing I need~"
""I don't care about the presents~"
……
[It's a bit late, but still... Merry Christmas everyone (facepalm).]
