【Xue Xiao】One hit kill

It's pretty harmonious.

The task of cooking is very simple, one person is responsible for one day, and what to eat is decided by the person who cooks.

Xue Yang cooked noodles for breakfast for the first time at Xiao Xingchen's house, and the taste was not bad. Xiao Xingchen adhered to the principle of encouragement and expressed a little approval.As a result, Xiao Xingchen was still cooking noodles at dinner time, and Xiao Xingchen felt a little strange.Until the third meal Xue Yang prepared was still boiled noodles, and the ingredients had not changed, Xiao Xingchen felt that this trend was not going well, so he asked him why he kept cooking noodles.

"If you like to eat pasta, you can also change the toppings a little more, such as shredded chicken, beef, soft and crispy...we can try a little more other flavors, and the nutrition can be more balanced." Xiao Xingchen sincerely suggested.

After all, it is too simple and rude to only cook vegetables and then put bibimbap sauce.

Xue Yang bit off the noodles, chewed a few mouthfuls and swallowed, his eyes fluttered, and finally said: "Got it."

So one day after get off work, Xiao Xingchen saw Xue Yang scrambling to fry the kitchen.

The hot oil in the pan jumped out with a crackling sound. Xue Yang was scalded and withdrew his hands while cursing. Xiao Xingchen stepped forward and quickly turned off the fire, took Xue Yang's hand to run under the faucet, and directed himself Go find some burn ointment.

Xue Yang went back to the kitchen in disgrace, the oil in the pot was gone, and Xiao Xingchen was rolling up his sleeves while looking at the dishes Xue Yang was preparing on the cutting board.

"Do you want to make tomato scrambled eggs?"

Xue Yang pursed his lips and nodded.

"Tomato scrambled eggs don't need to put so much oil." Xiao Xingchen turned on the fire again, passing on his experience, "Hot oil will fry the pan if it touches water, drain the water in the pan before pouring the oil, and wipe the water with the spatula to avoid oil Jump up and get burned."

Xiao Xingchen demonstrated in person, while Xue Yang stood by and watched seriously.

"Help me to the refrigerator and get some green onions."

Xue Yang did as he did, and consciously chose the green onions to wash, and listened to Xiao Xingchen cut them into small pieces and put them on the chopping board.

Xue Yang has already cut up the tomato, so I won't comment on the knife skill, anyway, it won't show much if you pound it in the pot.

Xiao Xingchen made the tomato scrambled eggs without any fuss, put them on a plate, and said with a smile: "Although tomato scrambled eggs are not difficult, it is not easy to make delicious ones. I didn't perform well today, so I don't know the taste." right."

There were other dishes in the refrigerator. Xiao Xingchen made a tiger-skin green pepper with local materials, cooked a pork and cabbage soup, and reheated the stewed vegetables while waiting for the soup—it is estimated that Xue Yang bought ready-made ones just in case. Just rich dishes.

Even when Xiao Xingchen is alone, he pays attention to the quality of life. The home is very comfortable, except for cooking.If he cooks too much by himself, it will always be wasted, and if he cooks too little, it will be monotonous. Now that Xue Yang is here, every meal can be more varied, and Xue Yang eats deliciously, even with Xiao Xingchen, he can eat more. Xiao Xingchen was quite satisfied with this.

Xiao Xingchen had almost finished eating, and filled another bowl of soup. Seeing that the plate of tomato scrambled eggs was almost empty, he rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "I thought you didn't like tomatoes."

Xue Yang froze for a moment, stopped chewing, and said, "I don't like raw food, it's sour."

Xiao Xingchen nodded to show that he understood, and then asked if there was anything else he would not eat.

Xue Yang blurted out: "Bitter melon."

Xiao Xingchen thought it would be easy to raise.

The next day was Saturday, Xiao Xingchen didn't have to go to work, he got up early in the morning to make breakfast, read some documents, made the schedule for next week, and asked Xue Yang to go grocery shopping together.

After returning home, Xiao Xingchen asked Xue Yang to follow him into the kitchen. First, he instructed Xue Yang to make seaweed and egg drop soup, then turned on the tablet and propped it on the counter, chose a tutorial on stir-frying pork with shredded green peppers and potatoes, and started to wash the vegetables.

The soup is the easiest to make, not to mention the taste, at least it can be cooked, and the seasoning of oil and salt is easy to control, and it is not easy to make mistakes.Xue Yang quickly made a decent pot of seaweed and egg drop soup. He put the soup into a large porcelain bowl and washed the pot. Xiao Xingchen also washed the green peppers, potatoes and pork and put them on the cutting board, asking Xue Yang to help. Shred these vegetables, and go to the balcony to water the flowers.

Xue Yang followed the instructions on the computer to cut up all the vegetables, and followed the steps of heating oil, putting vegetables, and stir-frying. When Xiao Xingchen came back, the induction cooker had just been turned off, and Xue Yang was adding salt with a measuring spoon.

The finished product is naturally not as beautiful as the video.The dishes were cut unevenly in size for sure, and some potatoes were undercooked and some meat was burnt, but overall it was passable.

"Thank you." Xiao Xingchen took out the dishes and swiped to the next video, "Let's fry another shiitake mushroom."

Xue Yang continued to spin around, and barely made another stir-fried pork with mushrooms. Xiao Xingchen took a look halfway, cut a soft and ripe tomato and put it in the pot to season. .

"Let's start with these." Xiao Xingchen said, "I'll try other things tonight."

Xue Yang took the dishes to the dining room, only to find that Xiao Xingchen had made another vermicelli salad, and scooped up the rice for both of them.

It was Xue Yang's first time learning how to cook, and it was not as bad as he had imagined.Xiao Xingchen was not hesitant to praise, but he was also able to put forward pertinent evaluations and suggestions, and calmly determined Xue Yang's next task - to improve his cooking skills.

"The tablet at home has been idle, you can use it, I downloaded some cooking tutorials on it, you can watch and practice it when you have time. Well, I will learn it when I have time, but I haven't made any progress for several years, guess what? You can't make any delicious food after learning. So..." Xiao Xingchen said with a smile, "Whether our quality of life will improve in the future depends entirely on you."

"..." Xue Yang paused with his chopsticks, "...Oh."

Doesn't look very unhappy.

Facts have proved that Xue Yang's learning ability is still very strong. He couldn't do it well before, but he had never tried it before. He is not very picky about food, and he has been making do with it all the time, so he can only cook noodles.After Xiao Xingchen handed over the task, only a month later, he was able to cook several dishes that tested the heat with ease. One weekend, he even made a delicious steamed sea bass. The taste was so good that Xiao Xing Chen looked at each other with admiration.

Having eaten together more often, Xiao Xingchen discovered that Xue Yang prefers sweets.When Xue Yang was cooking, the first thing he practiced was Kung Pao Chicken, Fish-flavored Pork Shredded and Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs. He also tried scrambled eggs with sugar once, but he didn’t think Xiao Xingchen made them. It was delicious, and then I followed the method taught by Xiao Xingchen.

In addition, Xiao Xingchen also discovered a skill of Xue Yang.

Xiao Xingchen took a look at the stand-alone games on the tablet one day, and found that he had cleared all the games with high scores.In a racing game, Xiao Xingchen was stuck on the third-to-last level, but when he saw the clearing record, Xue Yang passed this level in one go, and even beat Xiao Xingchen's best score by a large margin.

When Xiao Xingchen downloaded the cooking tutorial, he downloaded a few new games and put them on the desktop. After a few days, when he checked again, all of the games had been cleared without exception, and the clearance time was very short.

In the evening, one person occupies one side of the sofa to watch TV. The CCTV channel broadcasts a report on high school students. Under the camera, the immature face is shy but full of longing and tells his dream. Xiao Xingchen laughs: "I am so old. At that time, I thought about becoming a painter, but I didn’t have much talent, so I gave up.”

Xue Yang looked at him.

"What about you? Have you ever expected anything from yourself?" Xiao Xingchen looked back gently, "Or, have you ever thought about what you want to do in the future?"

[08]

Xue Yang looked at Xiao Xingchen for a long while before saying, "I make money."

Xiao Xingchen's expression didn't change, his eyes became a little more polite and inquiring.

Xue Yang pushed his back molars with his tongue, and said, "I used to form a team with others to play e-sports..."

Xue Yang thought Xiao Xingchen was very strange. He had lived together for a long time, but Xiao Xingchen didn't ask any questions about him, and he never showed curiosity.

Xiao Xingchen has never been like a landlord. He doesn't seem to care much about his private space being invaded by outsiders. Xue Yang moved in when he said he would live in. He used all kinds of things at home casually, and ate meals together. They are roommates who rent together, keeping a polite and distant distance from each other.

Fortunately, this time Xiao Xingchen followed Xue Yang's words and asked, "Before...?"

"After falling out with those people, I didn't do it again." Xue Yang raised his eyebrows indifferently, "It's because I don't have team spirit. I also don't think it's interesting to fight with a bunch of people who are dragging their feet."

Xiao Xingchen who has no team spirit is a little convinced, because Xue Yang seems to be quite independent.But when talking about other people's hindrances, the contempt and arrogance in Xue Yang's eyes also made Xiao Xingchen chuckle inwardly. After being here for so long, Xue Yang finally showed a bit of the vigor he should have at his age.

There was a sense of decadence in Xue Yang's body, Xiao Xingchen couldn't help but want to persuade him when he saw it - he should not lose enthusiasm for life so early at such a young age.

Thinking about it this way, Xiao Xingchen is a little funny, because he himself doesn't have much enthusiasm to pursue the life he so-called wants from the bottom of his heart.He is easy to be satisfied, and always feels that the present is the life he wants, and it is enough to live a good present.

Xiao Xingchen belongs to the group of "other people's children", and his life has been smooth and smooth for more than 20 years. The only ups and downs are probably the discovery that his sexual orientation is different from most people, but it didn't bring him too much trouble.He himself and his parents accepted Xiao Xingchen's "differentness" relatively calmly, and supported him to leave his hometown so that he could live in a more accepting and tolerant city.

If it is said that he has encountered any other people and things that left a deep impression on him, Xue Yang must be at the top of the list, not to mention the only one.

Xue Yang is good-looking, with a pair of canine teeth that hurt people when he smiles, but he doesn't smile often, and
