Lu Ziyan nodded vigorously, "Dad, I'm very good. I will not only protect my sister, but also my mother!"
Seeing how cute Lu Ziyan was, Lu Cheng scratched his nose with his hand and said, "My Ziyan has grown up. He is a man now and knows how to protect others..."
As he was talking, Lu Xiyun also walked in, rubbing her eyes. When she saw Lu Cheng, her eyes suddenly lit up, "Dad, Dad! You're back..."
She opened her little hands and rushed towards Lu Cheng.
Lu Cheng held a child in each hand and kissed them on the face again and again. He turned to look at Lin Yuexi who was still asleep, his eyes full of happiness.
He whispered to the children, "Come on, let's go to the kitchen and let mommy sleep a little longer while daddy makes breakfast for you."
"Can you make breakfast?..." Lin Yuexi opened her eyes and said with a smile.
In fact, Lin Yuexi had already woken up when Lu Ziyan came in. She wanted to see what the father and son would say.
I didn’t expect Lu Cheng to offer to make breakfast for a family of four.
After listening to what Lin Yuexi said, Lu Cheng smiled and said to her: "I wanted you to sleep a little longer, but since you are awake, try my cooking skills. I recently learned a few tricks from the old chef in the military academy..."
"Okay, then you go and try it..." Lin Yuexi remembered that she took out a lot of ingredients from the space last night, so he could use them as he pleased.
Lu Cheng walked into the kitchen with great enthusiasm and said to Lu Ziyan and Lu Xiyun, "You are almost six years old!"
"Dad, we will be six years old after the Chinese New Year..."
"Dad, you are so shameless. You don't even remember how old we are..."
Lu Cheng tapped his forehead gently, "You little bastard, how could Daddy not remember that you will be six years old next February. So can you help Daddy light the fire..."
"Dad, okay, my brother and I can help you together..." Lu Xiyun understood what his father meant and came over.
Lu Cheng then opened the kitchen cabinet and looked at the ingredients inside. He was a little surprised and didn’t know where Lin Yuexi got them from.
However, he quickly planned a breakfast menu using ingredients in the kitchen cabinet, such as eggs, beef, preserved eggs, millet, soybeans, etc.
He first took out a few eggs and prepared to make a tender and smooth steamed egg for the children. He gently knocked the eggs on the side of the bowl, poured them into the bowl, added appropriate amount of salt and warm water, stirred evenly, filtered it twice with a strainer to remove the foam on the surface, pierced a few small holes with a toothpick, and set it aside for later use.
Then, he began to process the beef, cutting it into thin slices, putting it in a bowl, adding soy sauce, cooking wine, starch, and black pepper, mixing it well and marinating it, planning to make a simple beef porridge later.
Then, he took the preserved eggs and soybeans and prepared to make a preserved egg and soybean soup. Peel the preserved eggs and cut them into small pieces. Soak the soybeans in advance. Boil water in a pot, add the soybeans and cook for a while, then add the preserved eggs and continue to cook. Add appropriate amount of salt and chicken essence to season, and cook until the soup is thick. A delicious and nutritious soup is ready.
Lu Ziyan and Lu Xiyun helped to light the fire. Although their little faces were red from the fire, they worked very hard.
Lu Cheng looked back at them from time to time, with a happy smile on his face.
At this time, he put the marinated beef into the pot of millet porridge and stirred it evenly with a spoon to let the flavor of the beef blend into the porridge.
After a while, the beef porridge was cooked and the aroma was fragrant.
Finally, Lu Cheng heated the steamed buns in the steamer.
Everything was ready, and he brought steamed eggs, beef porridge, preserved egg and soybean soup and hot steamed buns to the table.
The steamed egg is smooth and melts in your mouth; the beef porridge is fresh and rich, and the beef slices are tender and delicious; the preserved egg and soybean soup is refreshing and delicious, and rich in nutrients; the steamed buns are soft and sweet.
When the children saw the sumptuous breakfast on the table, they cheered with joy.
Lin Yuexi was indeed tired after being tormented by Lu Cheng last night, and fell asleep again after the three of them left.
Lu Xiyun happily ran into her room, "Mom, come over and see the breakfast that Dad made..."
After hearing this, Lin Yuexi walked out of the bedroom with sleepy eyes. She was not fully awake yet, so Lu Xiyun pulled her all the way to the dining table.
When her eyes fell on the breakfast table, all her sleepiness disappeared instantly, and her eyes were filled with surprise and admiration.
"Wow, you made all this?" Lin Yuexi looked at Lu Cheng in disbelief. She had originally just wanted Lu Cheng to give it a try, but she didn't expect him to be able to make such a rich and exquisite breakfast.
Lu Cheng smiled somewhat complacently, "How about it, are you impressed by my cooking skills?"
Lin Yuexi walked forward and looked carefully at every dish on the table.
The steamed egg was golden in color, so tender that it seemed like it would break at the slightest touch, and its surface was as smooth as a mirror without a single pore;
The beef porridge exudes an alluring aroma in the steaming heat, and the millet grains are plump and round, as if they are carefully embedded in the thick porridge and cooked to perfection;
The beef slices are evenly cut, with clear textures. Under the warm steam of the porridge, they have a warm and attractive luster.
The preserved egg and soybean soup is refreshing, with the unique texture of the preserved egg and the roundness of the soybean complementing each other. The soup is moderately thick and exudes a light fragrance.
The steamed buns are steaming hot, fluffy and soft, making people's appetite increase at the sight of them.
"That's amazing! Your cooking skills have improved tremendously." Lin Yuexi praised sincerely.
Then he continued, "You guys eat first, I'll go get dressed, brush my teeth and wash my face and come back..."
Lin Yuexi returned to the bedroom and casually put on a thick coat. It was almost November! She was really afraid of catching a cold.
After getting dressed and washing up quickly, he returned to the dining table in the main hall.
Lu Cheng smiled and pushed Lin Yuexi into her seat. "Okay, now try the breakfast I cooked. How does it taste? The children are waiting for you anxiously."
What? The father and his two sons were all waiting for me. Lin Yuexi was really flattered.
And so, the family sat around the dining table.
Lu Ziyan and Lu Xiyun couldn't wait any longer. They each picked up a small spoon and scooped a spoonful of steamed egg into their mouths.
"Wow, Dad, this steamed egg is so smooth and tender, it's so delicious!" Lu Xiyun said vaguely while eating.
Lu Ziyan also nodded vigorously, "Yeah, it tastes much better than what's sold outside."
Lin Yuexi also took a bite. The fresh aroma of the egg spread on the tip of her tongue, and the delicate taste was intoxicating.
"How do you stay so young?" she asked Lu Cheng curiously.
Lu Cheng smiled and replied, "This is the secret I learned from the old chef in the military academy. The egg liquid must be fully stirred and filtered twice to remove the foam. The control of the heat is also crucial."
Then, everyone turned their attention to the beef porridge.
Lu Cheng served Lin Yuexi a bowl of porridge. The beef slices in the porridge were tender and juicy, and the millet was cooked to just the right thickness.
