Chapter 151. 150. Inexplicable Favor (Fat League +5)
The kitchen of Sophie's house is very clean, just like her image, delicate, elegant and plain-looking.
But it can be seen that the kitchen is often on fire, and this can also be heard from her words: "Do you need me to help? My knife skills are pretty good."
Li Du said: "No, no, you're resting outside—well, I'm just saying this politely, but in fact, it would be great if you could come and help."
Sophie pursed her lips and chuckled, washed her hands and asked, "What do I need to do?"
Li Du said: "Let me introduce the dishes I want to cook first. You can see if you like them. They are mainly green vegetables. I think you have been a surgeon for a long time, so maybe you are not so interested in meat products."
The female doctor nodded vigorously and said, "That's right, that's right."
Li Du grinned, this was what Hans told him, as for why Hans knew the female doctor so well? It's very simple, he knows almost all the information about beautiful unmarried young women in Flagstaff City.
"I'm preparing stir-fried lettuce with dried shrimps, lettuce with mushrooms, tiger vegetables, zucchini omelette, and scallop tofu soup. How about it?"
Sophie smiled and said, "Although I haven't eaten it, I know from the name that I will like it very much."
The four dishes and one soup are very simple, but it is not easy to prepare them well. These are the dishes selected by Li Du. He has cooked them no less than a hundred times. Although these dishes are simple, he can make them with extraordinary taste.
The tricks of cooking are nothing more than a few points, such as material, heat, and seasoning.
In terms of materials, Li Du selected the most expensive organic vegetables in the supermarket, and he has perfect control over the heat and seasoning. In addition, he also specially brought a bottle of peanut oil.
Americans eat more olive oil. In fact, this oil is suitable for grilling and mixing vegetables. For stir-frying vegetables, especially green vegetables, peanut oil is the most fragrant.
Sophie hadn't had much experience with Chinese food, and her knife skills couldn't help her. She mainly washed vegetables here, and Li Du was in charge of cutting vegetables.
Li Du was about to start frying, when the doorbell rang, Ah Miao quickly ran to the door, jumped up, looked out, and went to play again.
Obviously, people outside are not threatening.
Sophie said strangely: "I usually have very few customers here, who could it be?"
She went to open the door, and a loud baritone rang first: "Hey, my little Sophie, have you had your dinner yet? See what Daddy brought you?"
When Li Du heard this, he couldn't hold the spatula very steadily. Sophie's father is here?
In fact, there is also her mother: "Daughter, mother knows that you are home when you see your light on... Well, it smells so good, is my good daughter cooking?"
The baritone continued to sound: "Wow, my daughter's cooking skills are so good? I said there is no need to bring her dinner, she can do it by herself, our daughter is amazing..."
Sophie's parents approached the kitchen. Li Du quickly tidied up his clothes and looked towards the door with a smile on his face.
An old Caucasian man walked in with his eyes narrowed like crescent moons when he smiled. When they met each other suddenly, both of them were a little dazed.
The little old man was at a loss as to why there was a strange man in his daughter's kitchen? Li Du was at a loss, is this Sophie's father? It can't be grandpa, can it?
Then he looked at the little old man carefully, and felt a little familiar again, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
The little old man's expression changed, and he lowered his voice and asked, "Hey, kid, who are you?"
Li Du said: "Hello, sir, my name is Du-Li, you can call me Li, I'm Sophie's friend..."
"Just friends?" The little old man narrowed his eyes.
Li Du raised his hand and said, "I swear to God, Doctor Sophie and I are just friends!"
For a moment, the little old man's expression was a little frustrated: "It's just a friend?"
"yes."
"No cohabitation?" the little old man asked, his expression seemed a little expectant.
Li Du didn't understand what he meant, but he said honestly: "No, you misunderstood, we are just friends, and we will have dinner together tonight."
At this time Sophie ran in and said, "Ah, Dad, Lee, let me introduce you, this is Lee, my good friend. This handsome guy is my dad, Mr. James Martin."
Li Du stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, Mr. Martin, you are so handsome. I used to wonder why Sophie is so beautiful. After seeing you, I think I guessed the reason."
Mr. Martin laughed and said, "The young man is very good at talking, you are cooking, right? Sophie, how can you ask customers to cook?"
The female doctor said embarrassedly: "Li has a hobby..."
Mr. Martin didn't give her a chance to explain, and immediately said: "You don't treat him as a guest, haha, I understand, my little Sophie has finally grown up."
Li Du blinked, why did he feel that the old man was different from ordinary parents?
Sophie pushed him away and said angrily, "James, what are you talking about? Get out quickly, don't disturb Li's cooking."
Mr. Martin was pushed out, and a beautiful woman who had half or half of Sophie's imagination squeezed in again and said, "Hi, Li, I'm Lisa Martin, Sophie's mother."
Li Du hurriedly greeted her, and the beautiful woman nodded with a smile, her eyes were very hot, she swept him from the top of his head to his feet, like an X-ray machine.
What exactly is going on? Mr. Li is confused, it seems that Sophie's parents are different from ordinary girls' parents.
As far as he knew, the girl's parents would instinctively resist him when they saw a strange young man at home, even if they didn't put on a serious face of an elder, right?
Fortunately, the Martins, their speech and demeanor, made Li Du feel that he could say it, and they seemed to regard him as their son-in-law directly!
After the two left, Sophie came back and said helplessly: "Sorry, Li, my parents are a bit childish, I hope they didn't make you feel disgusted."
Li Du said firmly: "No, no, my uncle and aunt are very nice, they are very enthusiastic, and I feel very comfortable."
Sophie said: "Then trouble you to cook by yourself, I have to go out to accompany them."
"It's okay, you go, the kitchen is left to me."
As soon as Sophie went out, Li Du heard Mr. Martin's voice: "Why are you out?"
"Chat with you."
"We have been chatting for twenty-five years, my girl, what you have to do now is to go back and help that young man cook. The two of you have to work together, understand? You need to cultivate a tacit understanding!"
Sophie said in amazement: "God, James, do you know what you're talking about?"
Li Du touched his chin. He also wanted to know the answer. Could it be that he looks very attractive to the elderly and is very popular with elders? Why did he feel that the second elder was trying to match him and Sophie?
Anyway, the female doctor then went back to the kitchen.
In this way, four dishes and one soup were not enough. Fortunately, Li Du bought enough vegetables, so he added four more dishes. The two old people outside were the ones he had to take care of.
He bought beef, so he decided to make a stir-fried veal, a fried salmon mixed with celery, a mixed green vegetable, and a minced meat mixed with cabbage.
Ah Meow smelled the salmon, and immediately got out of nowhere.
Mr. Martin let out an exclamation: "Oh, tabby! The boy is fat!"
Ah Meow's voice was very angry: "Meow meow meow!"
Mr. Martin immediately exclaimed again: "No wonder I feel that Li looks a little familiar. We met before. I remembered that he and Sophie have been together for a long time!"
In the kitchen, Li Du and Sophie looked at each other.
