Finally, lunch was ready at one o 'clock in the afternoon. Stewed lamb chops were a dish that required time. Lan also tried to make cold okra and fermented tofu.
Since she bought a cookbook like "100 Ways of Home Cooking", the cooking methods were naturally suited to China's taste. Li Jie noticed that the cover of the book also wrote "Light" and "Healthy".
It suited Lan's taste very well. Other than the stewed lamb chops, the okra and the tofu were very simple dishes. Simply put, it didn't have much taste. In fact, the stewed lamb chops didn't have much taste either.
For Li Jie, eating these was naturally no problem. Although the taste was light, he would occasionally make traditional Chinese dishes at home. Especially since his grandfather was old, he usually ate more light food.
But for Peter Parker, this wasn't good. As someone who often came to Li Jie's place to eat and drink (?) Li Jie's cooking had always been his friend.
But like Harry, he liked dishes with complicated seasonings and layers of taste.
This kind of simple home-cooked meal that was as plain as plain water was really hard to describe. It wasn't that it didn't taste good, but it always felt like something was missing. Li Jie glanced at Peter. He was drinking the lamb soup, but his expression was a bit strange.
Anyway, he had never drunk lamb soup that was like plain water in his life, just like the steamed fermented tofu.
The taste was too light, but the Spider-man didn't dare to say anything because Lan was smiling at him. This female sorcerer was very beautiful. She had long hair, bright eyes, and two dimples when she smiled. However, this did not mean that she was a harmless beauty. With Lan's attainments in magic, the Spider-man probably couldn't beat her even with his hands tied.
So when Lan looked at Peter with a smile, he could only nod and say, "The taste is great! You can replace Jason as the chef. "
Lan was also quite proud of herself, because she felt that the taste was really good (this was the difference between everyone's taste).
Li Jie took a sip of the mutton soup. Because of the addition of corn and carrots, the soup was unusually sweet. It also had a light milky aroma unique to mutton. It was actually quite delicious. Of course, Americans might not be used to it.
As for the okra and tofu, they were too bland. They weren't dishes that were easy to infuse with flavor.
Li Jie was drinking soup and eating when he heard Peter's words. He replied faintly, "Why don't you let Lan cook for all future gatherings? Besides, Gwen has started to learn how to cook in London. Why don't we let Lan go to London and teach Gwen how to cook? What do you think? "
Peter's face instantly turned bitter. Because of Gwen's mother's lifestyle, the food at home had always been light, which led to Gwen not eating any food with a strong taste.
When Peter went to the UK previously, although he and Brian did not get along well, there was still a piece of good news. Gwen didn't join Brian's research team. Instead, she joined Professor Erik's research team with her senior sister, Darcy. Professor Erik studied astrophysics. Recently, he had become obsessed with wandering around the UK. It was said that he was looking for some other particle that could change the virtual and reality.
Gwen had always thought that something similar to the God Particle that Professor Erik was looking for should be found in the laboratory, relying on high-speed particle colliders, rather than running around the UK with instruments.
However, she was just a newcomer and had no right to speak. Even Darcy didn't speak, let alone her. Therefore, she didn't say anything, nor did she mention Professor Erik's specific research to Peter.
However, Peter was very happy that Gwen didn't have to see Brian every day. He was even happier that Gwen cooked for him in the evening (actually, it was just because she didn't control the amount, so she ate too much spaghetti).
Although the spaghetti was very tasteless, Peter still finished it. Of course, if Peter had to eat this kind of food every day and treat Gwen with a smile for the rest of his life, Peter felt that it would be a little difficult. However, if Li Jie knew Peter's thoughts, he would definitely think that Peter was thinking too much.
Peter felt that he needed to learn from his uncle, Ben Parker. Although he had never liked eating Aunt May's beef meatballs, he had been eating them for thirty-five years, and every time, he would give her a thumbs up and say that she did a good job.
If it weren't for the dispute between the two last time because of Peter, Ben Parker accidentally spilled the beans: Just like your Aunt May's unpalatable beef meatballs. I'm afraid that this lie will be taken to his grave by Uncle Ben. (This detail comes from Extraordinary Spider-man 1)
Because of Li Jie's careless words just now, Peter Parker fell into deep thought. He and Gwen were very different. When two people get along, someone must learn to be tolerant. Even the simplest difference in food taste can break up a couple in love.
Can I be like Uncle Ben Parker and Aunt May? Even if I hate eating her beef meatballs (Aunt May's best dish, which Li Jie likes very much), can I still eat it with a smile for thirty-five years and give her a thumbs up every time?
Li Jie looked at Peter, who was deep in thought, and snapped his fingers in front of him. "What's wrong?"
Li Jie's voice woke Peter up. He suddenly felt that he seemed to understand something, but it seemed that he didn't understand anything. The little spider shook his head. He felt that he should say what he wanted to say first. "Gwen's [New Friend] in London."
Li Jie glanced at Peter and said, "You mean Brian, who might become her [New Boyfriend]?"
Peter took a deep breath, then looked at Li Jie for a long time before saying, "Yes!"
Li Jie said noncommittally, "Huh?"
Peter continued, "He's taller than me." Brian was 1.87 meters tall, while Peter was 1.75 meters tall.
Li Jie said, "Indeed."
Peter said, "And he looks stronger than me." Brian was obviously fit. He was 1.87 meters tall and weighed 78 kilograms. His body fat percentage was very low, and he had a good figure.
Li Jie said, "Uh-huh."
Peter said, "He looks rich. He's smart. "He drives an Aston Martin and is a graduate student at the University of London.
Li Jie said, "Oh!"
Peter said, "I don't want to say that, but he looks a little more handsome than me."
Li Jie clapped his hands and said, "Since you've said that, you might as well quit. You've lost in every aspect! "
Lan patted Li Jie on the back. Then Lan got Peter another bowl of lamb soup and said, "So?"
Peter said gloomily, "I don't know either. It seems like I really can't beat Brian. Maybe my identity as a Spider-man has some advantages, but it doesn't seem to work in front of Gwen. "
Li Jie shook his head and said, "So what does it matter? You see, I, Harry, and you stood together in front of Gwen. "
"Harry and I are both taller than you, stronger than you, more handsome than you, and richer than you. So, why did she fall for you? "
Peter fell into deep thought. Was Jason complimenting him? Why didn't it feel like it?
Li Jie: "Your problem has never been that you're not tall, not handsome, not strong, not poor, or any of these negative attributes that caused you to break up with Gwen."
Peter said, "Hey!"
Lan patted Li Jie on the back again.
Li Jie thought for a moment and said, "The key is the way you get along with Gwen. I can't help you with that. Because what kind of path you choose is up to you. You might as well talk to Uncle Ben about this. Maybe he can give you more advice. "
Peter lowered his head and thought for a moment. In the end, he left without even drinking the bowl of soup that Lan got him. Before he left, he said to Li Jie and Lan, "Thank you. I think I understand some problems. I'll treat you to a movie next time! "Then he ran away.
Li Jie narrowed his eyes. He really understood? If he understood, he would go to a movie together?
Lan laughed as she watched Peter run away. Forget it, they still had to have lunch. They still had things to do in the afternoon.
… …
When Thor got home from work in the afternoon, Li Jie and Lan weren't there. He threw himself into the sofa and found a bag of chips in the fridge. He turned on the TV and watched The Amazing Race reality show while lying on the sofa and eating chips.
To be honest, taking care of a bunch of naughty kids was much more tiring than fighting a war. Even though he had recovered his divine power, he still felt this way.
Oh, right. After recovering his divine power, Li Jie couldn't be bothered to care about the 130 kilograms of Alaska produced by Asgard. Because he couldn't take care of it, he could only leave it to fate.
So Thor could now happily watch TV and eat chips (Thor: Long live the Hammer!).
Just as he was watching "The Amazing Race" and giggling while eating potato chips, a voice suddenly rang out. The doorbell outside rang. Li Jie and Lan had the key, so they naturally didn't need the doorbell.
Thor opened the door and said subconsciously, "We don't buy insurance, don't subscribe to the morning newspaper, don't want milk … Valkyrie?!"
Standing at the door wasn't some imaginary product salesperson, but the Valkyrie from Asgard.
