Temporarily, Xu Shuangchuan didn't even have oil, she boldly used butter and put a large piece in the pot to melt.

She cracked the egg in her blue and white porcelain bowl, the whisk was too big, and if she put it in the bowl, the egg would overflow, and Xu Shuangchuan took out her chopsticks and beat the egg like her mother did.

Her wrists ached for a while, and the direction of the chopsticks changed from clockwise to counterclockwise. This point was always corrected by Chen Chi: "Frost, stir in one direction, stir quickly." Xu Shuangchuan understands the truth, in high school chemistry class, stirring with a glass rod, you can't change the direction of stirring. However, in life, she churns eggs like this, and she can never change it, Chen Chi laughingly called it "Xu-style egg beating method".

The chopsticks regularly bump against the bottom of the bowl with a cheerful and crisp click.

Xu Shuangchuan stared intently at the bowl, thinking in her heart that if she called Chen Chi at this time and asked him to briefly repeat the process of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, how long would Chen Chi laugh at her when she talked about it in the future.

The kitchen door was pushed open, and she turned her head to see that it was Matthews.

"Hi, Xu. He greeted with a smile.

"Hi, Matthews. Xu Shuangchuan responded with a smile, and the chopsticks stirred in the bowl a few more times, but the action was subconsciously lightened.

Matthews walked straight over, his eyes fell on Xu Shuangchuan's hand, he probed for a while, as if he was smiling, he opened his mouth and was about to speak, when he suddenly turned his head to the side and asked, "Xu, is this your pot?"

Xu Shuang saw that there was smoke in the pot. "Oh yes. She didn't care about anything else, put down the dishes and chopsticks, squeezed over, and turned off the fire.

She looked up and met Matthews' smile, and was immediately embarrassed.

"Happy New Year. Matthews politely extended his right hand.

Xu Shuang was stunned for a moment, stretched out his hand, but retracted it again, rubbed it twice on the bib, wiped the egg liquid off his fingertips, and then reached out to hold Matthews' hand.

"Thank you, and you also have a happy new year. She smiled.

Matthews' smile was kind, but there was a hint of relentlessness.

Xu Shuangchuan had to pretend that she didn't see it, her action just now was very simple, and it completely copied her mother's habits. When her mother stopped stir-frying, she would rub a handful on her apron before touching anything else.

"How's the holidays?" asked Matthews as he pulled juice out of the fridge.

"Good. Xu Shuangchuan replied dryly, "What about you?"

"Me too. I'm going home and staying and I'm only back today. He poured the juice and chatted casually.

"I went to Belgium. Xu Shuangchuan raised his chopsticks, picked up a wisp of egg liquid, and checked the stirring.

Matthews glanced at it and complimented, "What a clever way to use chopsticks." ”

"We always do. Xu Shuangchuan said with a smile, she was sincere, not humble at all to accept other people's compliments, and after answering, she was quite proud of the chopsticks.

Matthews picked up his cup and glanced at the half-finished products that had been scattered on the countertop: a plate of softly boiled pasta, a plate of chopped tomatoes, a bowl of yellow-orange-orange egg mixture.

"Lovely dinner. He smiled.

After Xu Shuang watched him go out, she re-lit the fire, and after the butter became hot again, she poured the tomatoes into the pot, and without looking at it, she jumped out of the distance with the empty plate, and listened to the clattering and cheering in the pot in horror.

After a long time, she picked up the wooden spoon, didn't dare to get too close to the pot, took a step, stretched out her arm, and carefully poked into it to stir-fry.

Xu Shuangchuan felt that she must have done something wrong, when Chen Chi made scrambled eggs with tomatoes, the whole process was very leisurely, not as thrilling as her.

But she remembered a golden rule that Chen Chi taught her: "Frost, if you are afraid of frying at the beginning, mix more water and stew slowly, and put enough seasonings to taste." In winter, as long as the dish is hot, it is much better than ham dry bread. ”

Xu Shuang's bowl was filled with egg liquid, and in a hurry, she picked up the plate, took advantage of the shallow concave bottom, took a little water, and carefully poured it into the pot.

With a "snort", the small oil dots pushed the small water drops, scrambling to bounce up.

Xu Shuangchuan was so shocked that he grabbed the glass lid and covered the lively pot at once. She had a bit of potential to be in danger, and with the second shot, she extinguished the fire.

She stared at the pot for another long time before she dared to open the lid to check. The tomatoes in the pot are lying on the ground, and the yellow juice looks quite attractive. Because it is quiet, it is beautiful.

Xu Shuang regained her courage and continued to operate, this time she simply held the handle of the pot and reached down to the faucet, and took a small half pot of water.

Under Chen Chi's golden rule, there is an additional note that has been repeatedly advised: "Frost, if there is oil in the pot, you must mix more water, and the action must be decisive, otherwise it will boil and splash." ”

In a hurry just now, she completely forgot about this additional note, and now she has carried out Chen Chi's construction in a particularly good place, and the water level has submerged all the tomato blocks.

Xu Shuangchuan stewed the fried tomatoes again, and seeing that the movement in the pot was quite stable, she breathed a sigh of relief.

The large glass window reflected a qiē in the kitchen, the stove, the blue flame, the stainless steel pot on the flame, and she standing behind the pot.

Outside the window, the night is like ink.

Xu Shuangchuan stared at the glass window. The girl reflected in the window was wearing a black turtleneck sweater and an apron with red flowers on a white background, looking quiet and virtuous.

She used to have some baby fat on her chin and a round face. This chubby distress lasted her entire girlhood. Her mother said that she was too strong in her mother's womb and was born a circle older than other children, and it was said that every time she washed her hands, she had to break the folds in her fleshy little wrists.

She has a nickname, "Uncle Xu's Fat Girl".

Later, there was an angry junior high school classmate, in response to the teacher's call to read more famous books to improve his writing ability, after reading Dream of Red Mansions, he called her Sister Bao, and she was called Sister Lin at the same table.

Xu Shuangxiao's least favorite thing is the graduation physical examination, classmates take their physical examination forms to line up everywhere, when she does the color blindness test, the form can only be spread on the table, the boy behind her put the form next to her, glanced at it and raised his head and smiled, so that she almost didn't see the numbers hidden in the pile of flowers.

She was the second most important girl in her class. But the first place is very high, the weight is the skeleton, and she is the weight of pure meat.

Xu Shuangchuan will only be secretly sad, she will eat it correctly, and she will never taboo it. Of course, she blamed her mother for this, who let her mother raise her in her mother's womb. Her mother was very aggrieved: "How can the food at that time be as rich as it is now? I eat the same as others, not as good as others, but you are willing to absorb it yourself." ”

Xu Shuangchuan, who was willing to absorb, accompanied her mother out, although she had good facial features, white and clean, and the praise she received was never "Your daughter is beautiful", but "Your daughter is good." ”

She stayed up all the way until she was long, and her situation got better, but her chin and cheeks were still a little fat and glutinous. Originally, she was already preparing to "have a strong baby for a lifetime", but she didn't want to go abroad, and her baby fat was gone.

Xu Shuangchuan used the glass window as a dressing mirror and looked at himself well. In the past two years, she has been relatively pitiful, except for shopping clothes in the mall, she has never seen a dressing mirror. In the rented apartment, there are only two square mirrors above the washbasin on the entire floor.

The girl opposite was thoughtful and quietly stunned.

In the steaming water, her image is a little ethereal and cold.

When she came back from this vacation, she had a lot to do, continue to write her dissertation, and have to meet with her professors to finally implement her scholarship during her master's degree. (To be continued.) )
