Chapter 020: Curiosity about the distance

Matthews smiled slightly, and without reluctance, he put down his coffee and began to fry the steak.

Xu Shuangchuan leaned on her side, concentrating on pouring her yogurt paste into the bowl and pouring a lot of sugar into it. The yogurt sold in the supermarket is really pure sour, without a little sweetness, she has never been used to eating it, and she can't help but add sugar to mix it every time.

In the blue and white porcelain bowl, the light milky yellow banana yogurt paste is stirred up by the spoon to create a circle of lines, which is very beautiful, and the toast slices on the plate next to it are coated with vermilion jam in the center, which is very colorful. Her meal should be nutritious and nutritious, and she should be able to manage her fullness. Three minutes ago, she felt that this meal was convenient and exquisite, but now, the real smell of meat behind her penetrated her nose for a while, and she could only sigh that this meal was simple to the extreme.

Xu Shuangchuan was cleaning the grinder, the pool was closer to Matheus, she turned her back to him, and traced several times what he had placed on the counter, a lemon on the plate, and a bag of green fresh leaves, which turned out to be basil.

"Cooking for yourself, and being so particular, you can live. Xu Shuang said with envy in his heart.

It was an embarrassing time when the tap water was rushing over the grinder and the steak was frying in the pan, and Xu and Matthews were each concentrating on their own business, standing with their backs to each other and not speaking to each other.

Xu Shuangchuan and Matthews don't have much intersection on weekdays, and their rooms are a little far apart, and the opportunities to meet and greet each other in the apartment are not as frequent as she and Nick diagonally opposite. In addition, she didn't know what kind of weird psychology she had, and she was secretly afraid to talk to Matthews, and it was usually a long story short, and she was finished in three or two sentences.

At this time, there were only the two of them in the kitchen, and the longer the silence was, the more uncomfortable Xu Shuang became, not to mention, she was greatly tempted and tormented by the food from the tip of her nose to her stomach.

Xu Shuangchuan sped up, wiped the grinder three or two times, picked up the plate and bowl, turned around, and saw that Matthews was flipping the steak, he looked up and smiled at her friendly, Xu Shuang smiled back, and still walked out around to him.

The fresh air in the corridor made her greatly relaxed, as a person who had not eaten braised pork for more than half a year, Xu Shuangchuan really couldn't resist the smell of meat, she salivated as she walked, Matthews's cooking skills should be good, just look at his leisurely appearance of frying steak.

Why do people with good looks always have more talents? Xu Shuangchuan bites the dry toast, envious of one after another, people's dinners with curling smoke and fire are called dinners, no matter how beautiful her bowl is, if it only contains yogurt, it is 108,000 miles away from the real sense of dinner.

Xu Shuangchuan is extremely regretful, her cooking skills did not pass guò and left home, now even if she wants to learn, her mother can't teach her, relying on her self-learning, she is afraid of wasting time and food, so she can only make do with herself.

That night, Xu Shuangxiao's carefully prepared banana yogurt was tasteless by her.

A shared apartment is all about waiting. After she finished eating, she opened the door to rinse her mouth in the bathroom, and heard the crisp sound of dishes colliding on the other side of the kitchen, which was someone washing dishes. As usual, Xu Shuangchuan waited for a while before going out to wash the dishes.

She lowered her head under the faucet and rinsed the baby blue and white porcelain bowl, a little homesick.

Xu Shuang fell at home, and he didn't even wash the dishes a few times. She went to school all the way, when she was a child, she used to do her homework after eating quickly, since the high school dormitory, when she went home on the weekend, her mother was reluctant to let her do it, she put the dishes and chopsticks before the meal, and helped her father to receive the dishes and chopsticks to the sink after the meal. Washing dishes is Mom's business, and sometimes it's Dad's business.

Xu Shuangchuan remembers that one of the things she did the most in the kitchen was to stay by the stove like a little gluttonous cat when her mother fried Gu Kou meat or fried fish, and took a piece directly before serving it, and her mother scolded her with a smile while letting her eat as much as she wanted.

When she was young, her mother would only tell her about small details: "Have you washed your hands?" or "Eat less, how can you eat later?"

As she grew up, her mother's rhetoric began to change: "If you get married in the future, don't do it in someone else's house, and endure the rules and endure eating at the dinner table." ”

Xu Shuangchuan licked the oil on his fingers and raised the bar with his mother: "Mom, I'll just eat a piece, where are you going?"

"Eat, eat, eat. Her mother said hatefully.

Xu Shuangchuan's father did not have such treatment, if his mother wanted his father to taste the taste, he would only take a small piece of chopsticks and order: "Eat and see, does it taste okay?"

Dad has a strong taste, and he sometimes says, "It's light." ”

Xu Shuangchuan said: "I think it's okay. ”

Her mother made the final decision: "That's it, it's not good to eat too salty." ”

Xu Shuangchuan was washing the dishes, silently calculating the jet lag, her parents should be sleeping soundly at this time, but her mother once accidentally said that she leaked, and once woke up in the middle of the night, thinking of her, she couldn't sleep anymore.

There was a sound of footsteps at the door, and she subconsciously looked sideways, and Matthews came in with a tray, and smiled at her.

Xu Shuang turned off the faucet, moved three or four steps away from the pool, and made room for him.

"Oh, it doesn't matter, just wash it. Matthews said hurriedly.

"I'm all right. Xu Shuangchuan smiled and picked up a dry cloth to wipe the water stains off the bowl.

Matthews put the knives, forks, plates and dishes on the tray into the sink, tilted his head and smiled, "Very beautiful bowl." ”

Xu Shuangchuan didn't know what to say, so he curled the corners of his mouth and nodded: "Yes." ”

"Is it porcelain?" asked Matthews, interested.

"Yes. Except for this answer, Xu Shuangchuan couldn't think of anything else.

"Chinese porcelain is very famous, and it is said that the handmade porcelain is particularly delicate, is this bowl of yours handmade?"

Xu Shuangchuan was slightly stunned by Matthews's question, and replied uncertainly: "It shouldn't be, I don't know, this is what my mother bought for me." She picked up the bowl and looked around it carefully, then turned over the bottom of the bowl and said, "No." ”

"How do you know?" asked Matthews with a smile.

"If it's a handmade zuò, it's common to have a craftsman's mark on the bowl. Xu Shuangchuan explained, adding an additional sentence, "I guess, I don't know much about porcelain." ”

Matthews chuckled, "Me too." He put his hand into the sink to wash the dishes and continued, "I have a friend who has been to China and came back and said that your country is very big and beautiful. ”

"Yes," Xu Shuangchuan said with a smile, "It's very, very big, and I've only been to a few places." ”

"Are you going to get used to it? We're very small here. Matthews joked.

"I wasn't used to it at first," Xu Shuangchuan replied truthfully, "not because it was small, but because it was a lot different." Now I find that it's quite small. ”

Matthews didn't mind Xu Shuangchuan's honest assessment of his country's land area, and he smiled kindly: "I hope to have a chance to visit China." ”

Xu Shuangchuan summed it up like a whole: "Yes, it's interesting to have the opportunity to experience different cultures. Then she said, "I should go back." ”

"Good night. Matthews smiled and took a bowl from the full pool of foam and wiped it with a cloth.

Xu Shuangchuan was really worried several times when she first saw the local students washing the dishes without rinsing them with water, but now she is not surprised, quite calm, she said politely: "Good night." ”

Back in her room, she took a serious look at her blue and white porcelain bowl and shook her head with a smile, everyone was curious about the distant foreign land, even Matthews, whom she thought was quiet.
