Chapter 429 We Forgot to Cook
It's not interesting to watch TV commercials all the time.
Xu Tongdao thought about it, picked up the remote control and found a singing station, then increased the volume of the TV and used 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, will I help you? It's okay if I'm idle."
Zeng Xueyi was shocked and looked back and shook her head subconsciously and declined: "No, Mr. Xu, you are a guest today, how can you let the guest take action? It's okay! I can be busy here, and there are not many dishes, so you'd better go watch TV!"
How can you watch endless TV commercials?
This is what Xu Tongdao said in his heart, 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. I'm more interested in cooking than watching TV. Don't be polite! Have you washed the tomatoes? Let me cut them!"
"this……"
Zeng Xueyi hesitated a little and nodded slightly, "Then I'm sorry, well, I'll wash it, you can see."
As she said that, she picked up the newly washed tomatoes, shook the water, and placed the tomatoes on the cutting board. Then she looked at Tongdao Xu, as if she was afraid that he would not cut it, so she cut her hands.
Her worries are of course redundant.
Xu's cooking skills are much better than hers.
He just didn't say it.
Pick up a tomato, cut it into half with one slash, and then cut it into half again, and then cut it into half again, and then cut the tomato stem as the edge of the knife.
Then, the kitchen knife in his hand was cut off with a few quick cuts and cuts down with one quarter of the tomatoes in his hand into several triangle shapes of even size.
Zeng Xueyi looked surprised.
This technique is much more skillful than hers. She never thought that tomatoes could be cut like this before.
"Oh, by the way, you should be planning to scramble eggs with tomatoes, right?"
When he started cutting another quarter of tomatoes, Xu Tongdao asked her casually.
Because the method of cutting scrambled eggs with tomatoes is different from the method of cutting scrambled egg soup.
The tomatoes with scrambled eggs need to be cut into triangles, and the soup needs to be sliced.
He remembered to ask at this time, it must be too late. He had cut it into triangles just now.
However, he felt that he should have cut it right, because when cooking soup, one or two tomatoes are usually enough, and Zeng Xueyi had just washed four tomatoes.
According to his experience, there must be too much soup for so many tomatoes, and it is quite appropriate to scramble eggs.
really……
Zeng Xueyi: "Yes, yes! It's scrambled eggs."
After a pause, she turned her head and asked, "Mr. Xu, I didn't expect you to be so good at cutting vegetables. It seems that you really like cooking before."
I like it! I've been tired of being a chef for a long time.
This is a fact.
But Xu Tongdao didn't say it, just smiled, "It's okay! People who live in the world have to learn life skills in addition to survival skills! What if they can't find a wife in the future and no one cooks for me? Haha, do you think so?"
These words made Zeng Xueyi laugh.
His eyes flicked and he glanced at him, "Mr. Xu, you are so powerful in business and 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 have to be bachelor?"
After saying that, she closed the refrigerator door and picked a handful of celery while asking curiously: "Hey, by the way, Mr. Xu, what are you talking about just now about survival... life skills? Can you tell me? To be honest, this is the first time I have heard people say this."
"First I heard of it?"
Xu Tongdao was a little surprised and laughed, "As the name suggests, survival skills are mainly about making money. If you can make money, you will never starve to death. The greater the ability to make money, the better you will be. As for life skills... The life skills I mentioned are mainly about washing clothes, cooking, and learning these two skills. In addition to career, when you live your life, you can live a little decent life, and you don't have to be taken care of by someone, or go out to have a restaurant every day.
I personally think that if you live alone in this world and learn both skills well, you can live a good life. Mom will no longer have to worry, haha."
He said casually, but Zeng Xueyi listened very seriously.
After listening, she thought about it and the work of choosing vegetables in her hands stopped.
She nodded slightly, and when she looked at Xu Tongdao again, her eyes were different from before.
Some were surprised and some were moved.
"Mr. Xu, I didn't expect you to be so much younger than me, but these principles are even better than me. To be honest, I have never thought about these things before. After hearing what you said, I just thought about it and it seems that I lack survival skills."
After a pause, she laughed at herself, lowered her head to continue to pick vegetables, but said softly: "Otherwise, my life wouldn't be so difficult after my husband passed away... After all, it's still time when I should learn skills, I didn't study well."
Xu Tongdao glanced at her and he could see that the woman had not yet walked out of the shadow of her husband's death. She always mentioned her husband. How could she be in a good mood?
"It's okay! Mr. Zeng, aren't you good now? I'm in charge of the company, and you don't have much pressure. The company's recent performance is pretty good. You can also share some profits. In addition, you have a salary. You have no problems with your economy and you will definitely be 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 would have closed now."
...
With the help of Xu Tongdao, the table of dishes was ready in less than an hour.
During this period, the two of them chatted while cooking, and felt that time passed quickly and no one felt tired.
It is exactly the same old saying - it is not tiring to work with men and women.
Scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried celery with shredded pork, braised crucian carp, spicy tofu, green pepper shredded pork, and small green vegetable meat ball soup.
Five dishes and one soup were cooked by Xu Tongdao himself.
All in color, fragrance and taste.
When you put it on the dining table, it makes people feel delicate, beautiful and appetizing.
Tongdao Xu was very satisfied, and Zeng Xueyi was very surprised.
While getting a bottle of red wine on the wine rack, he praised him, "Mr. Xu, you really opened my eyes today. I really didn't expect that your cooking skills are so good. Your skills are almost as good as the chef!"
You really know how to praise people! I, a person who worked as a chef for several years, was praised by you so much...
Xu Tongdao smiled but said nothing, mainly because he was speechless.
"Mr. Zeng, are we going to start eating now?"
"Well, of course! Of course! Let's eat!"
Zeng Xueyi asked him to take his seat. The red wine had already been opened. She bent down to pour him wine, but she didn't wake up. Xu Tongdao smiled and did not remind him.
He is not that particular.
"Oh, I forgot one thing!"
Zeng Xueyi's eyes suddenly opened wide and she exclaimed, which scared Xu Tongdao.
"What?"
"We forgot to cook!" When Zeng Xueyi said this, Xu Tongdao was stunned, and then couldn't help laughing, his shoulders trembling.
Chapter completed!
