Return To 1998

There is no point in watching TV commercials all the time.

Xu Tongdao thought for a while, then picked up the remote control to find a karaoke station, and then increased the volume of the TV, using the TV as a record player.

Putting down the remote control, he got up and walked to the kitchen, and said to Zeng Xueyi, who was washing a few tomatoes, Mr. Zeng, shall I help you? It's okay to be idle.

Zeng Xueyi was startled, and when she looked back, she subconsciously shook her head and declined: No, no, Mr. Xu, you are a guest today, how can you let the guest fight? It's fine! I can be busy here, and I don't have many dishes, so you should watch TV. Bar!

How can you look good in endless TV commercials?

This was what Xu Tongdao was saying, but he didn't say it.

He just smiled and stepped forward to take the chopping board and kitchen knife, Mr. Zeng, don't be so polite, to be honest, I don't like watching TV either, I'm more interested in cooking than watching TV, you just You're welcome! Have the tomatoes been washed? I'll cut them!

This……

Zeng Xueyi was a little hesitant, and nodded slightly, Then I'm sorry, um, it's washed, you can take a look.

As she said that, she picked up the freshly washed tomatoes, shook the water, put them on the cutting board, and then looked at Tongdao Xu, as if she was afraid that he would not be able to cut them, so she cut them with her hands.

Of course her worries were superfluous.

Xu's cooking skills are much better than hers.

He just didn't say it.

Pick up a tomato, cut it in half with a knife, then cut half of it, cut it in half, and cut the stem of the tomato with a slanted edge.

Afterwards, the kitchen knife in his hand was quickly cut with a left and right knife, and a quarter of the tomatoes in his hand were cut into several triangles of uniform size.

Zeng Xueyi looked surprised.

This technique is much more proficient than her. She never thought that tomatoes could be cut like this before.

Oh, by the way, your tomatoes are supposed to be scrambled eggs, right?

When she started to cut another quarter of the tomatoes, Xu Tongdao asked her casually.

Because the cutting method of tomato scrambled eggs is different from the cutting method of tomato egg soup.

Tomatoes for scrambled eggs need to be cut into triangles,

The soup is about to be sliced.

He only remembered to ask at this time, it must be too late, he had already been cut into triangles just now.

However, he felt that he should be right, because for soup, one or two tomatoes are usually enough, and Zeng Xueyi just washed four tomatoes.

According to his experience, with so many tomatoes, there must be a lot of soup, and scrambled eggs are quite suitable.

really……

Zeng Xueyi: Yes, yes! It's scrambled eggs.

After a pause, she went to the refrigerator to get other ingredients, then turned her head and asked, Mr. Xu, I didn't expect you to be so good at chopping vegetables. It seems that you really liked cooking before.

Like a fart! I got tired of doing it for a few years as a chef.

This is a fact.

But Tongdao Xu didn't say anything, just smiled, It's okay! In the world, in addition to survival skills, life skills must be learned! What if I can't find a wife in the future, and no one will cook for me? Haha, Am I right?

This made Zeng Xueyi laugh.

His eyes wandered, and he glanced at him, Mr. Xu, you are so good at business, so rich, and you are afraid that you can't find a wife? If you can't even find a wife, how many men in this world will be bachelors?

After she finished speaking, she closed the refrigerator door, and while choosing a handful of celery, she asked curiously, Hey, by the way, Mr. Xu, what do you mean by survival... life skills? Can you tell me about it? Seriously, this is the first time I've heard people say this.

First time hearing about it?

Tongdao Xu was a little surprised and laughed, As the name suggests! Survival skills are mainly about making money. If you can make money, you won't die of starvation. The more money you have, the better you can get along. As for life skills... Life skills are mainly laundry and cooking. Learn these two skills. Outside of your career, when you live on your own, you can live a little more decently when you are young. You don’t have to be taken care of, or go out to eat out every day.

Personally, I think that living alone in this world, if you have learned these two skills, you can live a good life, and your mother doesn't have to worry anymore, hehe.

What he said was casual, but Zeng Xueyi listened very seriously.

After listening to it, she was thoughtful, and for a while she stopped the work of choosing vegetables.

She nodded slightly, and when she looked at Tongdao Xu again, her eyes were different from before.

Surprised and emotional.

Mr. Xu, I didn't expect you to be so much younger than me, but you understand these principles better than me. To be honest, I really never thought about these things before. Listening to you, I thought about it just now, and I seem to be lacking. Survival Skills.

After a pause, she laughed at herself, lowered her head and continued to choose vegetables, but said softly: Otherwise, after my husband died, my life would not have been so difficult... After all, I should learn When I was capable, I didn’t study hard.”

Tongdao Xu glanced at her. He could see it. This woman has not yet come out of the shadow of her husband's death. She mentioned her husband at every turn. How could she feel better?

It's okay! Mr. Zeng, aren't you doing well now? The company is led by me, so you don't have any pressure. The company's recent performance is okay, and you can also share some profits. In addition, you still have wages, and your economic There is no problem in terms of things, and I can definitely live better than many people.”

He said a few words of comfort.

Zeng Xueyi smiled and nodded, Yes! Fortunately, I met you, Mr. Xu, otherwise Meijia Decoration might have closed now.

...

With the help of Xu Tongdao, a table of dishes was ready in less than an hour.

During the period, the two chatted while cooking, and they felt that time passed quickly, and neither of them felt tired.

It is exactly the old saying - men and women are matched, and work is not tiring.

Tomato scrambled eggs, shredded pork scrambled with celery, braised crucian carp, spicy tofu, shredded pork with green peppers, small green vegetables and meat ball soup.

Five dishes and one soup, cooked by Xu Tongdao himself.

Full color and flavor.

Putting it on the table, it makes people feel delicate, beautiful and appetizing.

Xu Tongdao was very satisfied, and Zeng Xueyi was very surprised.

While going to the wine rack to get a bottle of red wine, he praised him, Mr. Xu, you really opened my eyes to me today. I didn't expect your cooking skills to be so good. Your skills are almost as good as those of a chef!

You are so complimenting! I am a chef who has been a chef for several years, and I am so praised by you...

Tongdao Xu smiled without saying a word, mostly speechless.

Mr. Zeng, are we going to eat now?

Well, of course! Of course! Let's eat!

Zeng Xueyi greeted him to take a seat, the red wine had already been opened, she bent over to pour him a drink, and did not wake up, Tongdao smiled and did not remind.

He's not that particular.

Yeah, I forgot one thing!

Zeng Xueyi's eyes suddenly widened and she exclaimed, startling Xu Tongdao.

what?

We forgot to cook! When Zeng Xueyi said this, Tongdao Xu was stunned, and then he couldn't help laughing, his shoulders shaking with laughter.

Really forgot.
