Chapter 43: Egg custard
During my menstrual period, I was a little uncomfortable and sat on the bed with a wool shawl, and Andrei came, saw that my face was not good, and asked me what was wrong with concern. I was embarrassed to tell him, so I said it was okay, my stomach hurts, and it would be good to rest for a day.
Andre sat on the edge of the bed and stared at me, he touched the back of my hand with one hand and said is it really okay?
I asked him to pour me a lemon tea. Andre handed me the teacup and when he touched my hand, he shook my hand again and asked, why are your hands so cold? I didn't want him to worry, so I said, it's really okay, you go back, I'll just get some sleep.
Andrei was obviously not at ease going back, and he didn't know what to do, when suddenly he asked me. Do you want egg custard? The Chinese he said "Egg Custard" was very non-standard, and I didn't hear clearly what he was talking about for a while. Andre said that it was the one Qiu Si wanted to eat last time he was sick.
When I think about it, there is such a thing.
Once, after dinner, we were chatting in the kitchen, with me, Andrei, Li Bailing, Jin Li, Adris from Afghanistan, Basha from Turkey, Figor and that talkative Wang Dong. After a while, Darik came out of their room and asked me if I would make an egg. None of us understood what he was asking, and he said that Qiu Si was sick and wanted to eat that. I said why don't I ask Qiu Si what she wants to eat.
As he was saying that, Qiu Si came out, and at first glance, his face was full of sickness, and his face was very pale. Qiu Si said that she was sick and had no appetite, Daric insisted on letting her eat, and asked her what she wanted to eat, Qiu Si said that she thought about it for a long time, and she still had an appetite for egg custard, but Daric would not do it. He said it and asked the Chinese how to do it? Qiu Si didn't want him to trouble others, but Daric still came out to ask.
We said: Qiu Si if you want to eat, just tell us, we can help you make it, Qiu Si said that she really has no appetite, if it weren't for Daric forcing her to ask, she actually didn't want to eat anything.
We saw Qiu Si supporting her to come out and explain, and persuaded her to go back and rest at ease, and don't take the trivial matter to heart.
Qiusi went back to rest, and I said to Daric, I know what Qiusi is talking about. But I really can't do it either.
At this time, Jin Li smiled and said:
- "This is too easy, I'll teach you!" With that, she and Daric went to make egg custard.
Watching them leave, Wang Dong began to speak:
- "Poor thing! Find a Pakistani who can't even make an egg custard, I will, if it's my girlfriend, I'll make it for her now! β
Li Bailing continued his words and said:
- "Who stopped you from doing it, you go!" β
- "Don't go, don't Qiusi haven't eaten the egg custard yet, I'll eat Darik's fist first"
Wang Dong's words made us all laugh.
Wang Dong went on to say that in Moscow I could tell at a glance whether the girl's boyfriend was Chinese or foreigner. We were all curious and asked him, how could he see it? Wang Dong said:
- "A Chinese boyfriend like Bai Ling can be fed at first glance!" Look at Qiu Si and Linna, you think they look like that, tell you that you all make your boyfriends hungry. β
Wang Dong's words caused everyone to laugh again.
Li Bailing smiled and said:
- "I want to lose weight, but it hasn't worked, this time I found a good way, as long as I change to a foreign boyfriend, it's all solved!" β
Wang Dong said to Figor, Edris, and them:
- "Don't always think about it, if you have excellent kissing skills, you will be invincible if you have first-class bed skills." If you want to find a Chinese girlfriend, you also need to have good cooking skills, otherwise, sooner or later, you will run away hungry! β
Basha asked Wang Dong:
- "Do Chinese men cook?" β
Wang Dong said, whether it will be or not, he said that it is not good, anyway, the men in Moscow cook for their girlfriends.
Now, Andrei asked me if I wanted to eat egg custard, did he think egg custard was medicine? Just eat it when you're sick!
Besides, like Qiu Si, I don't want him to beg someone to make egg custard for me.
Andrei told me that he would do it himself, without having to ask anyone! I was deeply skeptical of his words. You know, I can't do this myself, and besides, I still have a rough estimate of how good Andre's cooking skills can be. Even if he could make beetroot soup, it seemed that this egg custard should be more difficult for Andre to manage.
I know too well what Andrei usually eats. He basically survived on the cafeteria. In the evening, if he is hungry, he will boil five or six eggs in his little white pot, and if he adds two sausages for hot dogs, wraps them in noodles and pours them with tomato sauce and mayonnaise, and it is a lavish dinner!
- "I really know how to do it, don't believe it! I've always wanted to find a chance to do it for you. Andrei said.
He wanted to find a chance to do it for me, as if he really knew how to do it, I thought to myself. Let him try it, I'll see how he can make it. Andrei asked how many I wanted to eat? I said one, and he asked again, is one enough? One was enough for me, and I thought he wouldn't waste too many eggs if he didn't succeed.
He started to make egg custard, and even though I was curious to see how he did it, the physical discomfort kept me from moving. I watched TV and waited for Andrei's masterpiece.
The door opened, and AndrΓ© came with a plate on which was my little porcelain bowl.
- "Qiu Si said that it would taste better with some soy sauce, so I asked her to add some more. As he spoke, Andre delivered the egg custard he made to me. I looked at it, and a small bowl of egg custard was like a soft tofu, golden in color, and bubbling with a strong aroma! Perfect! That's what I think of egg custard. I looked up and looked at Andrei in amazement, and he gave me a wink and looked at me triumphantly. I covered my mouth with my hands, and I couldn't believe my eyes.
I scooped a large piece with a spoon and wanted to get it to my mouth as soon as possible. Andrei snatched the spoon and said, It's quite hot, you can eat it later. I looked at him and asked;
- "Tell me Andrei, who did you learn from?" β
Andrei said as he looked at the egg custard
- "I'm a genius, I can do anything!" β
I was a little dissatisfied with his questioning and not answering. Then Andre brought the spoonful of egg custard to my mouth and said, "Now you can eat it!" Watching me eat the custard he fed, Andre asked
- "Do you like to eat?" β
Uh-huh, I said yes as I ate.
- "In the future, when you want to eat, tell me, and I'll make it for you." Andrei said.
He really didn't break his promise in this matter!
