The Complete Guide to Rearing an Alien Boyfriend - Chapter 138

Chapter 138 Love the Most

Long Xi did not believe Lord Mo Kun could make a meal for her. After he got back, she was watching him busy in the kitchen.

It was also a kind of happiness to watch her beloved man make dinner for her!

Longxi was surprised to see Mo Kun chose the left forefoot of the three wild Russian black bears as ingredients.

It was known to be difficult to clean a bear’s paw, especially a wild bear’s paw. Removing the heavy smell was a really important step!

Mo Kun masterfully got on with the process of removing the fur and hard skin. Then, he added a soup of ham, beef bones, chicken, and fish to go with the three paws. After around 15 minutes, he picked the three paws up.

As a popular saying went, one might make great progress in a few days! Was he still the Lord Mo Kun who could not make a soft-boiled egg for her?

At this time, the three forefeet became slightly soft while the heavy smell became faint. The hard skin slightly curved.

He removed the curved hard skin and the claws, asking Long Xi to help him remove the bones of the forefoot. Then, he added soup-stock to stew it for a long while. When the forefoot became soft, he picked them up and cleaned them again.

Then, he poked more than 200 small holes with a needle and soaked them in honey.

Honey would penetrate into the forefoot through the small holes, which could soften the meat and add a sweet floral fragrance.

He prepared another pot of soup-stock.

Mo Kun put a bamboo plate under the forefoot and covered another one on top. Then, he used a pair of chopsticks to prevent the forefoot from deforming.

He put the forefoot along with the bamboo plates into the pot, adding some cold water and continuing to stew it.

After five or six minutes, he poured out the water and added some more freshwater to stew.

He repeated this process three times. Every time he picked them up from the water, he would use the cold water to soak them for a while to further remove the heavy smell.

Then, he soused the forefoot with chicken soup, onion, ginger, and cooking wine and stewed them for about 15 minutes.

Then hee put a bamboo plate over the bottom of an earthen pot and placed the forefoot into it.

Then, he piled the chicken, elbow pieces, seaweed, licorice, cooked ham, onion, and ginger on them and poured the boiled soup-stock in.

He boiled them on high heat and changed to a low flame to stew after adding salt, pepper, and sugar for flavor.

It would take at least three or four hours to be fully well-cooked and tasty.

Long Xi had never expected that Mo Kun had made such great progress in cooking for her that he could even make a tasty dish of braised bear’s paw. This dish was known to be really difficult to make.

When Long Xi and grandma took a taste, the forefoot had been well-cooked. It tasted tender and smooth. Chewing it slightly, they felt the meat’s rich flavor lingered in their mouths. It was really delicious.

She tried a drop of the soup-stock and nearly bit her tongue due to its good flavor.

That taste was really fantastic!

Long Xi said with a smile, “I got an idea from this dish. Combining the techniques of molecular cooking, I can create a new dish called ‘Love the Most’.”

Long Xi put a large piece of fresh lotus leaf on the white jade plate with dry ice particles and placed another black bear’s forefoot in the center.

Smoke surrounded the forefoot, forming into a fairyland.

Dry ice was easy to evaporate into carbon dioxide at room temperature.

The usage of dry ice was a unique technique of molecular cooking, which was also an important way to evaluate the level of dishes.

Then, she put a pure-white, ping-pong-ball-sized “bright pearl” made by the technique of molecular cooking onto the palm of the forefoot.

The golden forefoot and the soup formed an obvious contrast to the low-temperature white “pearl”.

Mo Kun ate the dish and found that it seemed to play a piece by a delicious quintet symphony.

The first taste was from the unique meat flavor of the forefoot itself.

The second was about the soup-stock of the elbow, chicken, and beef bones.

The third level was the sweet flavor of honey in the bright pearl. From the taste, he seemed to see the flowers blooming in the mountains and plains.

The fourth was the fusion of all the flavors with the freshness of spring bamboo, the spicy flavor of ginger and onion, and the enhanced taste of the long-term soused ham.

The fifth level was from the cocktail jelly in the pearl.

Mo Kun was intoxicated by the symphonic fairy music and could not get out of it.

Long Xi said, “When I start Starry Night private restaurant, I will use this dish as the specialty! Do you have any suggestions about the name? The Pearl in Your Hands?”

Mo Kun said, “That is too vulgar. I want to call it Love the Most, representing that I will love you for my whole life. I am afraid that you will melt if contained in my mouth, while fly away if placed in my palm.”

Long Xi said with a smile, “Okay, I like the name!”

Half a month later, Givenchy officially launched Long Xi’s Floral Language series, with excellent sales.

Soon after, September came and school officially started.

Mo Kun personally sent Long Xi to University Qinghui in City B.

He opened a branch office in City B and rented a very high-end love apartment near University Qinghui to live with Long Xi.

Long Xi was continuing to learn fashion design, while setting up her own company and founding her own fashion brand.

The bonus provided by the French Fashion Womenswear Competition was enough for her initial investment.

Moreover, Givenchy’s sales revenue would give her some shares. Lord Mo Kun would also find some contacts to help her.

With the initial funding and personal contacts, Long Xi officially entered the fashion industry. She opened a fashion company near Molong Building and founded L&M, a high-end fashion brand. It was very popular.

The invention company of Lord Mo Kun was also in full swing, whose business was expanding and the stock price was rising. He expanded new branches in City B and City S, both of which had already gone public with the stock remaining high.

He seemed to be sitting on a rocket taking off. Relying on this high technology, he was going on a smooth life road.

Today, he had become the richest man in Z Country and built a high-level reputation.

No matter how rich he was, he kept his love for Long Xi as usual.

He was willing to do anything for Long Xi. If Long Xi wanted it, he could even pluck the stars in the sky for her.

As for Long Xi, she also liked to do anything for her Brother Kun. Even giving up her precious life or going into a fire, she would not hesitate.

As for the people around them, they also went on different trajectories.

Yu Lanjie got acceptance by her favorite Department of Archaeology in University Qinghui. She also went to City B for further study.

Long Xi and Yu Lanjie became alumni of University Qinghui. They always had reunions although they were in different departments. Their relationship was still so good.

Wei Wei became the heroine of the film with Yamamoto Shang’s investment. However, because of her lack of performance skills and rough production, she did not become famous.

She lost contact with Long Xi and other friends.

Xiaolu chose to take a gap year after serious consideration, becoming a trainee of the well-known Korean company that offered him a chance. He was starting his one-year intensive professional training.

After that, he formed a team of idols called UFO with several Korean trainees, and officially debuted in center place.

Xiaolu became the central place of this team with his handsome appearance, dancing skills, and singing skills. His popularity was high while the amount of his Weibo fans quickly rose to 5,000,000 in the few months after his debut.

One day, Xiaolu called Long Xi and told her a piece of surprising news. “Do you remember Bai Bing in our class? That Snow Goddess. She also became a trainee in Korea and is in the same company as me but she went in the acting direction. I wonder if she could perform well with her cool facial expression.”

Long Xi said, “It’s hard to say. Perhaps she will not be so cool when she is performing. I heard that some stuttering actors would speak the lines fluently, right? By the way, my Brother Lu, when will you come back home? Both Brother Kun and I miss you so much.”

Xiaolu said with a smile, “I would be happier if you said you miss me so much. Why talk about big Brother Kun?”

Long Xi said with a smile, “All of us miss you so much. Do you know that Brother Wangchuan took part in the ‘Good Voices of China’ competition last year and got runner-up? Now, he also officially debuts. Brother Wangchuan’s manager has him on a personal music tour. The first stop is the capital of our country, City B, while the next is in X City next week. It will take place on Halloween on October 30th, which is also his birthday.”

Xiaolu indulged for a moment and said directly, “How do you dare join his music tour? Are you not afraid of big Brother Kun’s jealousy?”

Long Xi said, “Of course I am. But Lanlan insists on taking me there. She said she would be shy if she was alone. God, why would she be so shy? They have been together for so long.”

Xiaolu said with a smile, “Master Xi, how do you know they have been together so long? Perhaps they are not living together. I remember that Lanlan is Catholic. Premarital behavior is not permitted.”

“Ah? Brother Lu, you have learned badly in South Korea!” Long Xi could not help teasing him.

“Me? I have always kept my loyalty for you even if surrounded by beauties!” Xiaolu said grievously.

Long Xi played a joke to persuade him. “You’re so wrong. Don’t hang yourself on only one tree, okay? Don’t give up the whole sky because of a little star like me! Besides, even a force 10 typhoon will not break up our love. Don’t think about it!”

Xiaolu burst into a laugh and said, “It’s okay for you not to like me, but you can’t prevent my love for you. Tang Xianzu once wrote in the Peony Pavilion : Love begins for no reason, but becomes deeper and deeper. My love for you has been planted in my heart so deeply, so it’s not easy to pull out! By the way, you should fulfill your promise of doing double bungee jumping with me. You can’t go back on your word!”

Long Xi felt both moved and speechless. She quickly laughed to shift the topic.

Xiaolu asked again, “Have you ever received any strange WeChat messages?”

Long Xi answered, “No! Since your consciousness returned to your body, we have never played the horrible Red Envelope Game in the WeChat group of our class. I am all right! What happened? Did you receive Mr. X’s message?”
