Chapter 776 Luxurious Luncheon and Hesitating to Talk

Betty woke up to the smell of food. She rubbed her swollen forehead, recalling how she lost her composure before. Betty stood up, walked to the mirror and said to herself: "Betty Rose, you are not a little girl anymore. You can't be so willful."

After saying this, she patted her cheek. Push open the door of the room and walk downstairs.

She vaguely heard the conversation coming from the dining room, and she stood in the stairwell and listened for a while.

Dr. Banner heard the noise from upstairs, and he focused his gaze on the stairwell: "Betty, it's time to eat. Seriously, you should come and try these foods. It tastes great!"

Betty came downstairs curiously: "When did you learn to cook, Bruce?"

Of course it wasn't Professor Bruce Banner who was cooking. In fact the only dish he knows is toasted sliced ​​toast with jam. If this is also called a dish.

Li Jie was busy in the kitchen, humming a little song and cooking all kinds of dishes happily. Food is purchased from various places through the gate of space.

There are crabs from the North Sea, vegetables from Asia. Beef from Australia, and chocolate just purchased from Belgium. There are also salmon from Norway and caviar from Russia.

The food that Li Jie prepared today was unusually rich, and he bought it with his own money. Banner didn't know why Li Jie was so happy to ride a horse.

But there are goodies, and Bruce Banner has no reason to say no. If Li Jie doesn't come to cook, Dr. Banner can find a way to buy takeaway. Just trying to make croutons and fried eggs with salad dressing and arugula on their own.

"When a person is in a bad mood, feeding her these things will only make her feel worse!" Li Jie stopped Dr. Banner who wanted to do this.

And he said seriously with a smile: "Good food gives people a good mood. If you want to cheer up Miss Betty quickly, you need to prepare a hearty meal for her. Are you right? Lan!"

Lan, who just came back, took a look at Li Jie and blushed inexplicably. But it quickly returned to normal, and Dr. Banner didn't see any abnormalities at all.

Lan curled her lips: "It's free. I don't want to eat anything tonight!"

After she finished speaking, she stomped and ran back to the room that Dr. Banner had prepared for her. Dr. Banner looked at Li Jie in surprise: "What happened to her?"

Li Jie shrugged: "Probably just had enough?"

"Huh?" Dr. Banner asked with a question mark on his face.

Anyway, under Li Jie's hands-on cooking, a very, very sumptuous lunch began to be cooked one by one. Seafood and steak are options for the main course.

Medium-rare grilled beef tenderloin (T-bone) is seasoned with rosemary, thyme, black pepper, etc. Cut it with a knife, and the gravy flows horizontally. All kinds of plant spices mixed with rich meat aroma directly hit the nasal cavity. It is a favorite of carnivores.

And baked king crab. Li Jie took out all the crab meat and put it all in the crab shell. Baked with a generous sprinkle of fine mozzarella cheese. The milky fragrance is overflowing, and the crab meat is springy.

In order to set off such a main course, Li Jie's appetizers are not sloppy either. A sip of black caviar is a perfect match with a sip of vodka. It can open up the taste buds, but the taste will not be too strong.

In the interval between the appetizer and the main course, there is also a vegetable salad for two ladies. Very simple but different from normal western salads.

Because Li Jie added lactone tofu to this vegetable salad, although the sauce is the basic match of olive oil vinaigrette. But it is mixed with Japanese sauce and a small amount of Chinese vinegar. Make its taste more oriental.

There is also a salmon roll made of smoked salmon. In the middle of the salmon roll, I add my own mayo on the spot and decorate some black caviar on top. The smoked salmon roll for one person is not big, and it is also a bite-sized amount. This food is for appetizers.

Of course, a sumptuous lunch must end with a good dessert. Choose chocolate mousse cake and passion fruit pudding according to your preference.

Rich and rich chocolate mousse enhances the pleasure. The refreshing sweet and sour passion fruit pudding will dissolve the greasy feeling brought by the whole lunch menu.

Li Jie also purchased a suitable tablecloth for this lunch. He found that the tablecloth in the farm house was too old-fashioned. A tablecloth with white check and black stripes was re-covered.

A variety of gourmet food is contained on the bright white plates with gold wire edges, and the silver carved knives and forks are low-key and elegant.

Watching Li Jie do all this, Bruce Banner was a little silly. Although Dr. Banner is also a master who has eaten and seen, he also participated in many grand parties or dinners back then.

But he never thought that such a grand and formal banquet could be reproduced in his own restaurant. Isn't that what a whole chef team and service team should do? Why can it be done by one person? And so well done!

This has gone beyond the specifications of a family banquet, and the Michelin restaurant can do nothing more than that.

"I don't even know what to say. Jason, what you can achieve by concentrating on being a chef is definitely better than what you can achieve as an ordinary businessman or a hero!" Dr. Banner praised sincerely.

And Li Jie shrugged: "That's how it is. Cooking is my job. Superhero is just a part-time job. It's just a bit busy at the part-time job. When the world no longer needs me to be a hero, I will go to Open a restaurant in my mind. Live quietly with Lan."

Banner looked at Li Jie seriously: "Have you considered retirement now?"

Li Jie said noncommittally: "Life is like this. No one can't live without someone. It doesn't matter if you become a hero, it just happens at the right time. Talented people come out from generation to generation, each leading the way for decades."

"We are just a wave in the tide of history. We just do our own thing. When we are caught up by the waves, we should abdicate and let the virtuous. Instead of clinging to power."

Li Jie's words were very appetizing to Banner. Dr. Banner said: "You are right. We are just the connecting board of an era. When this era transitions smoothly to a new era, maybe we should exit."

Li Jie stretched out his finger: "Even if you don't want to leave the stage, you may be knocked down to the ground and thrown into the trash can like garbage. It's not difficult to choose whether you want to retire honorably or be abandoned by the times. "

"Those who cling to power tightly but don't admit that they can't keep up with the times are destined to be tragic. For example, the current leader of Hydra, Schmidt. The times are changing too fast, and he is far behind this era for too long .Hydra is destined to be led into the ditch by him. Maybe if Schmidt does not show up, Hydra will be a big problem in this world."

"But when he appeared, Hydra's defeat was already doomed. He made many tricks, and even with a flash of inspiration, it was difficult to reverse the defeat. This is not because we targeted him too much, but because he managed the entire policy. Wrong. It might be better if he is willing to learn to delegate power and hand it over to the right people.”

Banner smiled at what Li Jie said: "If the villains know how to delegate power, then they can't become villains. Only those who have a strong ambition for power and are unwilling to let go can become the world's great villains ah!"

Li Jie deeply agrees with this: "Yes, I agree with this very much. That's why Schmidt stupidly wants to provoke the relationship between you and Tony. Let your conflicts intensify, and even send dead soldiers to Attack Ms. Betty. Although we don't know the specific method of operation, they want to blame others in this way. And the target of blame is likely to be Tony, or the US military!"

"For example, use you, the Hulk Hulk is actually an uncontrollable force as an excuse or something. Use Betty to contain you. Given the current corrupt reputation of the military, maybe you will really believe this. Then go crazy If you fight the government, you will have to face Captain Rogers and Tony in the end, and in the end, you will lose both." Li Jie said these words with a serious face.

He spoke with certainty, as if everything he said was true and would happen. This made Banner a little confused whether what Li Jie said was true or false.

Those people were obviously killed by him, how did Nightcrawler know all this? He found a living?

Dr. Banner asked in confusion: "Is what you said true?"

Li Jie looked at Dr. Banner seriously and nodded vigorously: "It's all true! Believe I'm not wrong!"

Banner was a little puzzled by Li Jie's exaggerated movements at first, but he quickly understood: "Yes, what you said is indeed very possible!"

After saying this, Dr. Banner turned his head towards the direction of the stairwell and said, "Betty, it's time to eat. Seriously, you should try these foods. It tastes great!"

………………………

Appetizer: black caviar with sip vodka, smoked salmon roll with homemade mayonnaise garnished with black caviar

Salad: Asian style tofu salad.

Main course: Grilled T-bone beef tenderloin, which contains the double taste of tenderloin (filet) and outer tenderloin (sirloin). Baked king crab is even more luxurious. The crab meat of the whole crab is removed and put into the crab shell and baked with cheese.

Even the desserts are made with care. Lan still ate this lunch in the end, after all, he couldn't make trouble with his stomach, right?

And just like Li Jie said to Dr. Banner before, good food can bring people a good mood. The more explosive the heat, the more emotional! (This is probably why many people are obsessed with eating fried chicken?)

After eating the meal made by Li Jie, Betty was obviously in a much better mood. She looked at Banner, then at Li Jie, hesitant to speak.
