She went too early, before dinner was ready.

Zhang Xuanjiao had already returned to Zhang's house and was a little bored for a while.

Shen Chengrui didn't dare to disturb Si Kaichang's work, so he went back to his room to change his clothes, and then leaned on the window sill to watch the scenery outside.

Looking at it, I couldn't help comparing it with the garden of the Shen Family Manor, and then I remembered the bad things at home, I was depressed and lost my mind.

So that he didn't even realize when Si Kaichang appeared at the door, but the other party made a sound first.

Si Kaichang naturally came to ask: "Why borrow my name?"

Shen Chengrui was startled, turned from the window, raised his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes with his back on the light, pretended to be shy, and then returned to his splendid face, with a very casual tone: "You guessed it Huh? Actually, it's nothing, Master Si's name is easy to use, it can scare people."

Si Kaichang looked at her expression carefully, but didn't see anything, as if the sadness in his eyes when he looked back just now was his own illusion. Hearing her answer like this again, she asked again incomprehensibly, "Fool the family?"

Shen Chengrui did not deny it, but nodded, "Yes."

"reason."

Being scrutinized by Si Kaichang like this, Shen Chengrui pretended to be relaxed: "The sisters at home are bickering, but I can't quarrel, so they don't dare to embarrass me if they say I'm yours."

Si Kaichang frowned, a little displeased, and a little unbelievable: "You said that?"

Shen Chengrui smiled: "Yes, you can't say that I'm just one of your cooks, right? What's the use of that!"

Si Kaichang was very unhappy. He thought she had encountered something major, so he called him for help, but it turned out to be a trivial matter of discord between the sisters at home!

"I don't like being taken advantage of," he stressed.

Shen Chengrui had a guilty conscience, but she was a little disappointed to be rejected in person like this, "The cook is also a human being. I just said that she was a member of your chief secretary. It's not all in this other restaurant, isn't it?"

Si Kaichang glared at her: "speaking eloquently, secretly changing concepts. As soon as your words came out, don't you want your family to think in that direction?"

Shen Chengrui felt that it was necessary to clarify: "Even if my family thinks about it, they only think that I am your lover. Don't worry, I won't say I'm your girlfriend, so don't be nervous."

Si Kaichang's eyes fluttered up and down, and he said speechlessly, "You are a girl."

Don't be so skinless.

How can a girl with rules tell others that she is the lover of so-and-so?

He felt so shameless.

I even felt that the person in front of him approached him not only to be a cook, but also to move his mind.

This time, maybe he is testing his attitude?

Shen Chengrui felt that he was a little abnormal, so she walked over and looked up to observe carefully: "Of course I know that I am a girl, Si Shao, you are not shy, right?"

Si Kaichang wanted to lift her up and threw her out of the window, but thinking of the lunch he had been reluctant to deal with before, he still held back.

He was noncommittal to her question, and when he turned around he just said coldly, "Let's go to dinner."

Shen Chengrui was probably aware of the other party's emotions and didn't dare to make him angry any more, so he went to the kitchen in a sluggish manner.

When she did something wrong, she always felt that she should put more effort into cooking, and use delicious food to appease her subordinates, so as not to lose her job.

These days, Shen Chengrui discovered that Si Kaichang actually liked sweets and preferred Cantonese, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Lu cuisines.

Seeing that there was mandarin fish in the kitchen, I thought of making him squirrel mandarin fish.

Xu Shi felt guilty, and he didn't even want to use someone else's hand to prepare food.

Shen Chengrui removed the scales and gills of the fish, cut open the abdomen, cleaned and drained the internal organs, and then prepared the ingredients.

She pressed the body of the fish, cut off the head first, then sliced ​​the fish against the bones with a knife, deliberately bypassing the tail, sliced ​​this side carefully before turning over, and then carefully sliced ​​the fish with the spines on the stomach down.

For the sake of beauty, the two slices of fish are cut with the skin facing down, first straight and then diagonally, until the fish skin becomes a diamond-shaped knife pattern.

Then mix thoroughly with cooking wine and refined salt, apply a little bit on the fish head and fish meat, roll the cornstarch again, and remove the remaining powder with the fish tail.

The preparation process was complicated and frustrating, but Shen Chengrui was very serious and didn't feel tired at all.

She felt that Si Kaichang would definitely like this dish.

The fire heated the pot, and when the oil was 80% hot, she held the fish and poured the hot oil in the pot on the fish from top to bottom.

Then put two pieces of shark fins from the fish tail, and fry them in a frying pan to make them take shape.

Then, Shen Chengrui put all the fish into the frying pan and fry them until they were golden brown, and then put them on the plate.

In this way, the fish head is fried into golden yellow, and the fish chin is also deliberately positioned and shaped, so that the fish head and the fish body can be spliced ​​and posed later.

Next is the sauce. The tomato sauce is mixed with fresh soup, sugar, balsamic vinegar, wine, soy sauce and wet starch. Because of the taste of Si Kaichang, Shen Chengrui added a little more sugar.

Take the pot, add minced garlic cloves, diced bamboo shoots, diced mushrooms, peas and shrimps, fry until cooked, pour in the sauce and simmer over high heat, then pour in sesame oil.

Take the pot again and pour it over the fish.

So out of the pot, Shen Chengrui tasted the soup with chopsticks, it was sweet but not greasy.

This fish is not bad, but this dish requires texture, and it will definitely not taste good if you use it for dinner.

Recalling the look of Si Kaichang who just wanted to eat himself, Shen Chengrui felt that he struck while the iron was hot, filled a bowl of rice with a tray and brought it to the main building in person.

I hope this dish can make Si Da Shao calm down and stop worrying about using his name.

Without Zhang Xuanjiao to lead the way, she was stopped outside the study.

Shen Chengrui said: "Deliver the meal, ask Si Shao to try the dishes."

The gatekeeper seemed a little surprised, glanced at the food she was holding, and knocked on the door to go in.

Sure enough, Si Kaichang allowed her in.

He was the only one in the study reading the official documents.

Shen Chengrui opened her lips and said in a flattering tone, "Young Master, I made you a squirrel mandarin fish. Would you like to give it a try?"

Seeing him, he added, "I know you have a fixed diet, but I've already made it, so I can save face and let me know if I need to adjust the sweetness or something."

After this dish is cooked, it is shaped like a squirrel, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, bright orange in color, sweet and sour and palatable, with a touch of pine red fragrance.

Shen Chengrui didn't believe that Si Kaichang could still care about himself after tasting this dish.

Si Kaichang really didn't use his lunch well, but he was talking about military affairs today, so it was naturally inconvenient for him to open a small stove and drink slowly, so he ate it quickly.

Shen Chengrui didn't feel that when she didn't come, she wanted to have a good meal immediately after she came.

The new dishes are out in front of you, and they are all in front of you, so what's the reason not to eat them?

The fish was crispy, with a moderate sweetness, no appetite anymore.

He ate silently.

After eating, seeing her staring at him with bright eyes, Si Kaichang always felt that she was much more pleasing to the eye than just now, so he also put away the displeasure from earlier.

After all, the dishes are well-done, and the matter of borrowing fame or not is worthy of forgiveness.

"When you get home, make it clear to your family as soon as possible."

Shen Chengrui knew that people with higher status paid more attention to reputation.

But people with the status of the other party would definitely not inquire about the internal affairs of Xiaoxiao Shen's family, let alone send someone to confirm what impression he had in the Shen family's heart, so he nodded his head very readily.

In fact, even if Shen Chengrui went back and said that she had nothing to do with Si Kaichang, the elders in the family who thought about Yu Yue Long Men would not believe it.
