Chapter 425 Landlord
We arrived at the cooking class.
Li Jian parked his car not far from the entrance.
Although this cooking classroom is not large, only about 20 square meters, it is clean and orderly in every aspect.
The entire space is predominantly off-white, with walls covered in easy-to-clean, stain-resistant tiles that gleam softly in the sunlight.
The entire wall facing the street features floor-to-ceiling windows, with crystal-clear glass that remains spotless.
Through this clear window, every detail inside the classroom can be clearly seen:
The stainless steel countertop is so shiny it reflects light, and all kinds of kitchen utensils are neatly hung on the magnetic knife rack according to their frequency of use.
The built-in induction cooker was spotless, with no oil stains on its surface. The bottles and jars on the condiment rack were arranged in order of height, with all labels facing outwards.
Two large solid wood countertops are placed in the center of the classroom. The countertops have been specially treated to be both moisture-proof and scratch-resistant.
The door handles of the lockers below the stage are all at a uniform 45-degree angle.
A three-tiered shelf stands in the corner, each tier covered with a snow-white oil-proof cloth, with various baking molds arranged according to their shape.
The floor is covered with non-slip gray epoxy flooring, so even if oil splatters during cooking, they can be easily wiped clean.
The LED light strips on the ceiling provide uniform lighting, ensuring that every work area is well-lit.
Although the space is small, the clever layout and storage system make the most of every inch of space, reflecting the professional concept of "small but exquisite".
Li Jian saw Lin Xiaoye teaching several housewives how to cook.
Lin Xiaoye stood there gracefully, her curvaceous figure appearing even more elegant and charming in her simple professional attire.
The white shirt Lin Xiaoye chose today is made of soft material with a slight sheen, perfectly outlining her slender waist and beautiful shoulder and neck lines.
The shirt collar was unbuttoned, revealing a delicate collarbone, and the cuffs were rolled up to the forearms, exposing slender wrists.
The gray bodycon skirt she wore was well-tailored, and its knee-length design was both elegant and feminine, perfectly accentuating her shapely hips.
A pair of straight, slender legs extended from beneath the skirt, encased in sheer black stockings that gleamed delicately under the light.
The stockings are the perfect thickness, subtly revealing the texture of the skin and making the leg lines look even more perfect.
Her black high heels were simple and elegant, and the stiletto heel design made her figure appear even more upright.
As she walked, the heels clicked crisply on the ground, causing her skirt to sway slightly, exuding an elegant rhythm unique to mature women.
Sunlight streamed through the window, casting a soft glow on her silhouette and giving her a gentle, graceful charm.
She raised her hand to tidy a stray hair at her temple, and her shirt sleeve slipped down, revealing a thin silver chain on her wrist, swaying gently with her movement. It was captivating, drawing attention.
Li Jian wasn't in a hurry to go in; he simply admired Lin Xiaoye quietly.
Lin Xiaoye looked focused, holding a spatula in one hand, and said, "Next time you buy tofu, don't always braise it. Just do it like I do. It's delicious and nutritious, and adults and children alike will love it."
First, cut the tofu, which is even more tender than my face, into small pieces. Crack three eggs into a bowl and quickly beat them with chopsticks passed down through generations.
Pour it over the sliced tofu.
Heat oil in a pan, fry one side until golden brown, then fry the other side until golden brown on all eight sides, leaving oil at the bottom of the pan.
Sauté chopped scallions, ginger, and garlic until fragrant, then add diced tomatoes.
Add half a bowl of water, salt, chicken bouillon, sugar, light soy sauce, and oyster sauce. Stir quickly with a spatula, pour in the pan-fried tofu, and simmer over low heat for five minutes. Thicken with cornstarch slurry, and finally sprinkle with chopped green onions.
This method of preparing egg tofu results in a tender and juicy dish that the whole family devours as soon as it's served.
"The second dish is Kung Pao Chicken."
First, cut the chicken breast into strips, then into small cubes. Add salt, light soy sauce, pepper, an egg, a little cornstarch, scallion and ginger water, and mix well. Marinate for ten minutes. Finally, add a spoonful of oil so that it will be easier to break up when you put it in the pan.
Heat oil in a pan, add diced chicken, and don't move it at first. Then gently separate the chicken pieces to prevent the coating from coming off.
Then add Sichuan peppercorns, dried chilies, and scallions, stir-fry until fragrant, then add salt, chicken bouillon, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, aged vinegar, and sugar. Stir-fry evenly, then add green and red bell peppers and stir-fry until they are just cooked through. Add five or six peanuts, and finally stir-fry over high heat until evenly mixed before serving.
"The third dish, I won't tell you the name yet, everyone guess it."
First, peel the potatoes and cut them into thin slices about the thickness of a coin. Bring water to a boil in a pot, then blanch the potatoes until they are about 80% cooked.
Heat oil in a wok until it's hot.
Add minced garlic, chopped chili peppers, and ham slices, stir-fry quickly until fragrant, then add potato slices for seasoning.
Add a spoonful of light soy sauce, a spoonful of dark soy sauce, a spoonful of salt and chicken bouillon, and finally add green peppers and oyster sauce. Stir-fry over high heat for one minute.
This way of cooking green peppers and ham is especially delicious with rice...
Just as these housewives were studying diligently, an uninvited guest disrupted the harmonious scene.
"Lin Xiaoye, why are you still having class here? Hurry up and make room!"
The speaker was a man in his early thirties. A pair of brown-tinted glasses sat on his slightly greasy nose, and his small eyes behind the lenses were always darting around, revealing an indescribable calculating nature.
The man had a head of messy hair, his hairline was receding, and a few greasy strands of bangs stuck to his forehead, as if he hadn't washed his hair in a long time.
His floral shirt was dazzling—a Hawaiian-style pattern of red and green, with a few suspicious oil stains on the collar.
The shirt hem was casually tucked into a pair of loose beach shorts, the waistband almost falling to the hips, revealing half of the wrinkled edge of the underwear.
She wore a pair of flip-flops, her toenails were long and yellow with black edges, and made a "pat-pat" sound when she walked.
When men speak, they unconsciously lean forward, exhaling a pungent smell of smoke and bad breath directly into people's faces.
The eyes behind the brown-tinted glasses were always looking her up and down restlessly, especially when he saw Lin Xiaoye, his gaze wandering over her like sticky tentacles.
He would occasionally scratch his crotch, completely disregarding the occasion, and exuding a nauseatingly slovenly aura.
Most importantly, she has long, flowing hair and looks about seven or eight parts like a yellow dog.
Lin Xiaoye replied weakly, "Why are you like this? I'm in class right now. Besides, our contract hasn't expired yet. Why can't you let me attend class?"
The landlord stared at Lin Xiaoye's voluptuous figure through her thin clothes, swallowed hard, and said, "Hmph, the house is mine. I can take it back whenever I want. I'll just pay you the penalty for breach of contract."
However... if Miss Lin would be willing to have dinner and sing karaoke with me, it's not impossible to discuss.
