The people are gone, and Luke gets to work.

Picking up a few knives from the kitchen and looking at them, he couldn't help but shake his head.

Only one Western-style kitchen knife is commonly used, and the rest of the whole set of knives is similar to new.

But this set of knives is Zwilling, or the relatively high-end ZwillingPro series, and this set of kitchen knives is worth more than a thousand US dollars.

If someone is not a chef and does not like to cook, then a glance at his kitchen knife can tell how wealthy he is.

A kitchen knife like this, which is similar to an ornament, is a great reflection of the owner's wealth.

The chef's knife that was used the most was abandoned by Luke in favor of the Santoku knife, which was barely used.

This knife is relatively close to a chef's knife, and can be used in most situations as long as the technique is good.

In Luke's way, using this knife is not much different from using a chef's knife.

He marinates the tenderloin in a char siu sauce, then washes and dices the celery, carrots, tomatoes, and onions, and then processes the brisket, steak, and pork.

After less than ten minutes of busy work, there was a small head at the kitchen door, quietly watching the progress of his work.

Luke didn't look back, just asked, "Hungry?" ”

Mindy was curious: "You...... You won't go to any kind of chef school, will you? ”

Luke hehe: "Anyway, I haven't been to New Oriental." ”

Mindy: "Where?" ”

Luke: "The legendary mecca of chefs, once you learn from it, you will have the kind of cooking that women cry and shout to marry him." ”

Mindy decisively didn't believe it: "You said that there is a pharmaceutical, I still believe it, I have never seen it in my life when I eat and cry." ”

Luke shrugged: "Just take it as an advertising slogan." ”

Mindy immediately understood: "It's a good chef school, right?" ”

Luke: "Well, almost. ”

After saying these words, he finally turned around: "You're hungry." ”

This time, he used a declarative sentence.

Because little Lori's stomach obviously gurgled a few times, and there was a movement to swallow saliva.

Mindy finally felt a little shy: "That...... In the morning, my father went out early in the morning to sketch, and I got up late again, so I wanted to simply come back from grocery shopping and eat lunch in advance. ”

Luke had no surprises.

When Mindy brought them a drink, there was nothing in the fridge, no bread slices, no milk, no vegetables, no meat, no eggs, and it felt like a bachelor's refrigerator - it had to be the anorexic kind.

He stopped his work for a while, took out the ingredients from the paper bag on the side, cut them with a few knives, and then opened the fire and fried an egg in a frying pan, and spread the leaves and tomato slices: "There are no pickled cucumbers, that's all." ”

As he spoke, he put the simple ham and egg sandwich on a plate and put it on the table: "You don't need me to get you milk and cereal, do you?" ”

Mindy looked at him stunned: "You are so skilled, are you really a chef?" ”

People who really cook for a long time, and those who rarely cook, will reveal a clear difference in the simplest operation.

Mindy is also a veteran of knives, and the feeling of smoothness and ease when he uses kitchen knives is particularly clear, just as casual and easy as playing with her butterfly knives.

This is definitely at the level of a professional.

Luke picked up his lunch again: "It's probably enough to open a second-rate restaurant, and the kind that consumes about 100 US dollars per person." ”

Mindy touched it in, didn't pour the milk, just picked up the sandwich and took a bite: "emumu~ It feels better than what I made myself, why is that?" ”

Luke muttered for two seconds: "Things that don't have to be done by yourself are always a little sweeter." So, probably because of laziness. ”

Mindy: "...... Thank you. ”

She also felt the truth of eating people with short mouths.

For the sake of her stomach, she chose to recognize the black pot of "lazy".

It was twelve past five o'clock, and Damon finally went home with his sketchpad on his back, carrying a few large flat cardboard boxes in his hands.

That's the very common protagonist of fast food delivery in the United States - pizza.

But as soon as he opened the door, he smelled the faint smell of strange and familiar food in the air, and he couldn't help but be a little stunned.

And sitting on the sofa in the living room, a ** Latina beauty is turning her head to look.

Seeing him, she smiled naturally, stood up and waved, "Hello, Mr. McCordery, I'm Selena, Luke's friend. ”

Damon was relieved, his eyes scanning the living room.

Selena seemed to know what he was thinking: "Mindy is in the kitchen, she should be tasting dishes." ”

In the kitchen, of course, Luke heard the conversation and patted the little Lori who was fighting with the brisket: "Your dad is back, tell him to clean up, and then he can have lunch." ”

Mindy sighed, pulled her legs and trotted out, "Daddy, you're back." Hurry up and wash your hands, lunch is ready, just waiting for you to come back? ”

Damon: "Huh? ”

Five minutes later, the four of them sat down at the table, and Damon was a little stunned as he looked at the dishes on the table.

Luke laughed, "Mindy said she hadn't eaten breakfast yet, and she was going to buy groceries and come back to cook fresh, so I took the liberty of coming to the door." Just do it, the taste is average, don't get your hopes up. ”

Damon:......

Steak, barbecued pork, tomato brisket, and then a hodgepodge of celery, carrots, onions, and pork slices.

In addition to the steak, whether it is the red and sweet barbecued pork, or the equally red and sweet tomato brisket, and the green, white and red vegetable smorgasbord, it is very drooling.

But Selena silently comforted herself in her heart: Forget it, for Luke's sake's sake, this meal can barely be eaten.

For her flairy taste buds, the shortcomings of these dishes were obvious.

The barbecued pork is marinated for not enough time, so the internal flavor is not enough.

The tomato brisket simmers for too short a time, and the brisket is not soft enough.

The pork in the vegetable smorgasbord is of average quality, which lowers the umami of the whole dish.

But none of this is a problem with Luke's cooking, it's just a lack of time, and the father and daughter can't eat it.

Compared with the father and daughter, who subconsciously sped up after eating a few bites, Selena ate at a similar speed and amount to normal people today, and the sense of superiority in her heart was even more spontaneous.

It's like I haven't eaten this kind of defective dishes in my life, it's really pitiful! A foodie complained about the father and daughter in his heart, and he didn't think about it at all, but he could even eat lazy food with relish.

Soon the dishes on the table were swept away, and the pizza that Damon bought back had long been forgotten in the living room.

Mindy was left alone in the dining room and cleaned up the dishes.

Damon and Luke sat back in the living room, drinking coffee and chatting.

The two of them said a few words about the current situation, which was probably "How are you doing, you are doing well." How am I doing? It's also good", Luke changed the subject.

"Damon, it might be a bit rude to say that, but I don't think it's a good idea to leave Mindy home alone and even let her buy ingredients for lunch." Luke's opening is a critical hit.
