Meng Xiaozhi Sugar Core

What should I wish for? I stole a glance at Tang Xin, my heart beating non-stop. I wished that Tang Xin would marry me in the future? Ah, this is too... The inner entanglement made me not know what to do. Do I like Tang Xin? Maybe if someone asked me yesterday, I would answer that it was impossible. But today, I may have to say, maybe. Who can not like a clingy, beautiful, and excellent girl? But I am also a girl now, and I can't help but feel a sense of loss. How nice it would be if I was still a boy in my previous life, so that I could pursue her openly.

"It's done!" Tang Xin smiled happily, which made me dazed for a moment.

"What wish did you make?" Zhang Xueyan asked her.

"It won't work if you say it out loud!" Tang Xin turned around and asked me, "Did Xiaomeng make a wish?"

Perhaps I was ashamed of my wish. I didn't dare to look her in the eye and looked away. "Xuan, Xu is fine."

"Now that everyone has made a wish, let's go back!" Tang Xin waved her hand and ran out first.

"Slow down, be careful not to fall." I shook my head. This little girl is too cheerful sometimes.

How many friends, let me see your hands!

Chapter 28 Cooking

It was already past ten in the morning when Tang Xin sent me home. As expected, my aunt hadn't gotten up yet because she went to the movies again last night. I was surprised because there weren't any good movies released recently. She went to the cinema every day. Didn't she look like she had an easy job?

Xiaoling got up obediently and was washing rice in the kitchen, preparing to cook.

"Xiaoling, leave it there. I'll cook for you on the weekend." I walked over and took the rice washing basket from her.

"Sister, let me help you prepare the food."

Seeing her attentiveness, I didn't refuse: "Okay, but you have to be careful not to hurt your hands."

"Ah."

"Please wash the vegetables first." I took a quick look and planned to give her the simplest task first.

"it is good."

Xiaoling obediently picked up the green vegetables in the plastic bag and began to wash them carefully. Xiaoling had no experience, but she was very serious. She carefully separated each leaf and washed it inside and out with clean water, and wiped the mud and sand at the root of the vegetable with her fingers. Although the speed was slow, it was important to wash it cleanly.

I cut the meat into pieces and marinated it with soy sauce, sugar and old wine. I also cut the garlic into cubes and prepared onion slices, fennel, ginger and other auxiliary ingredients. When the ingredients for the braised pork were almost ready, Xiaoling finished picking the green vegetables and celery.

When Xiaoling saw how quickly I moved, a bit of frustration flashed in her eyes.

Seeing this, I smiled at her and said, "Xiaoling, you are already very good. When other children were your age, they didn't even know what raw vegetables looked like."

"But my sister is even better. She had already started cooking for us when she was my age." Xiaoling lowered her head, then raised it firmly and stared straight into my eyes, "Can I cook the braised pork?"

"This..." I was a little worried. After all, Xiaoling had eaten all three meals in the cafeteria since I went to high school, and she had never really cooked.

"I also want to cook for my aunt when my sister is not around."

"Okay then." I found a reason not to refuse. I thought it was time to give Xiaoling a chance to grow, so I let go of her hand and said, "Then come on!"

Xiaoling jumped up happily and walked to the gas stove, eager to try it out.

"Do you know the steps?" I was still a little worried.

“Yes, I learned it online.”

"Then I will really let go later? I won't even remind you a word." If I am determined to let Xiaoling accept the challenge, I plan to let go completely and let her truly grow.

"it is good!"

"Wait a moment!"

Only after I took off my apron and sleeves and put them on her did I feel at ease to let her start.

Xiaomeng turned on the gas stove, lit it, and put the iron pan on. She took some cooking oil from the side and poured it in (warning: use more oil). When the oil got warm, Xiaoling put the diced garlic and ginger slices into the pan. The oil started to boil when it met the water, and Xiaoling used a spatula to stir it a few times, and soon the white garlic began to turn golden.

She quickly poured the meat on the side into the pot. Compared to the garlic and ginger, the marinated meat brought a lot of marinade sauce with it. The oil pan began to become violent and restless, and the sizzling sound scared Xiaoling into a panic. Fortunately, I put an apron on her, so the splashing oil did not stain her clothes or splash her skin. She quickly regained her composure and used a spatula to turn the meat pieces to prevent them from sticking to each other. After stir-frying for a while, the color of the meat pieces changed a lot, and the fragrance began to gradually spread. Xiaoling sprinkled some brown sugar, added green onions and fennel, poured some water and rice wine, turned down the stove, covered the pot, and began to wait for the sauce to collect.

I witnessed the whole process and generally speaking there wasn't anything wrong with it. I don't know where she saw the steps from. Although there were some differences from my usual cooking style, it wasn't a big problem and if nothing unexpected happened the taste of this dish wouldn't disappoint.

After 15 minutes, the soup had become quite thick and looked like it was almost done. Xiaoling turned off the stove and took the pot off the stove. Xiaoling scooped out the meat with a spatula and put it in a prepared plate. After that, she poured the remaining soup over the meat. It looked like a Dove commercial, so smooth and delicious.

"Very good!" Although I don't know how it tastes, encouragement is still necessary. Moreover, from the current point of view, among the three aspects of color, aroma and taste, color and aroma have achieved more than 70 points. For someone who is cooking for the first time, it can be said to be very good.

"Sister, do you want to try a piece?"

"Then I'll eat half a piece!" I used chopsticks to split a piece of meat into two halves, and took a small piece and put it in the air.

The taste is moderately salty, a little overcooked and a little old. Overall, it is quite tasty, because the garlic and ginger fried in oil at the beginning are full of garlic flavor, and there are still faint flavors of fennel and wine, which leaves a strong aftertaste.

"Not bad, not bad! I give you an overall score of 8, it's a very high starting point!" It still exceeded my initial expectations. I thought Xiaoling might not even be able to control the saltiness, but I didn't expect that she gave me such a big surprise for the first time. It really made me smile from ear to ear.

Xiaoling threw the remaining half piece of meat into her mouth, squinted her eyes, and showed a happy expression. She probably felt a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction in cooking the dish she cooked.

"It smells so good!" Auntie came down the stairs without knowing when and stood at the kitchen door, "Hey? Is this Xiaoling's cooking?"

As she spoke, she walked over, picked up a piece of meat and put it in her mouth: "Oh! It tastes really good! It looks like Xiaoling has really grown up!"

"What's wrong with your feet?" I asked, noticing the strange way she walked.

My aunt was startled, turned her head away, and said carelessly, "Ha...ha, when I came back yesterday, I almost fell down and I strained my muscles a little."

"Is it necessary to walk with legs together?" I didn't ask further. I underestimated it and thought subconsciously that maybe my steps were too big and I hurt my balls.

Xiaoling had already cooked the main dish, and I was the chef for the remaining stir-fried vegetables and celery and pork slices. Xiaoling passed me the ingredients and watched me stir-fry.

The most fun part of cooking is flipping the pot - using a corner of the stove as a fulcrum to quickly push back and then down to flip the dish. As for why it's fun, it should be because it looks cool. After all, this action is not particularly difficult to learn, but it is very ornamental.

After a few moves, Xiaoling's eyes were already wide open, as if the soul of the Cooking Master Boy was already burning in her heart.

"Okay, don't just stand there!" I nodded her head, "Hurry up and serve the rice, it's time to eat!"

"Great! It's time for dinner!" Auntie couldn't wait to eat.

Growth happens inadvertently. Looking at Xiaoling who couldn't stop smiling, I slowly realized that she was growing much faster than I thought.

The promised second update is here~~~Come and join the group!

Chapter 29 Stolen

On Monday, when I came to the classroom, the students all looked a little depressed. This might be the so-called holiday syndrome.

"Tang Xin, please copy your homework for me." As soon as he arrived in the classroom, he heard Jiang Yu begging Tang Xin.

"Haven't you finished your homework? Not much, just a little bit." Tang Xin took out the homework book from the desk and prepared to hand it to him.

"Don't give it to him. Go write it yourself if you haven't finished it." I walked to the seat and interrupted him halfway.

"Sister, please don't." Jiang Yu leaned over the table and grabbed my arm and begged for mercy, "Please, please let me go, okay?"

I didn't realize he was so strong before, and it hurt me so much. "Let go, don't you know it hurts?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." He quickly let go of my hand and apologized, but there were already several red marks on my hand.

"Xiao Meng said she won't give it to you, so I won't lend it to you." Tang Xin took a look and took back the homework.

"Stop..." Jiang Yusheng felt hopeless. This was entirely his own fault.

As soon as I sat down and opened the desk, my heart skipped a beat and I froze.

"What's wrong, Xiaomeng?" Tang Xin saw that I was motionless and leaned over curiously, "What the【beep】!"

I saw that my desk was in a mess, and the books that were originally neatly arranged were now tossed all over the place.

"Learning machine!" My heart sank and I immediately started looking for it. I was too lazy to take it back with me, so I hid it in the interlayer of my books. But after turning it upside down, I found nothing.

Gone. Oops, it was stolen.

"Li Xiaomeng, what are you doing?" Jiang Yu didn't understand what I was doing. "Did you lose your homework too?"

I frowned and turned to him and said, "Didn't your desk get turned over when you came here this morning?"

He was stunned, thought for a moment and replied, "I don't know. My desk is always messy. I don't know whether I have turned it over or not."

"What? Your desk was overturned?" He suddenly thought of something and took a breath. "Oh! My! God! No way? You left Liu Li's learning machine in the desk. And then..."

I nodded with difficulty. "It was stolen."

At this time, Liu Li came over with his schoolbag on his back. Looking at the three of us with serious expressions, he asked curiously, "What are you doing? You all look like you've eaten shit?"

"Brother! I have some bad news, do you want to hear it?" Jiang Yu pressed Liu Li on the seat with one hand and said solemnly.

"What...what happened?" Liu Li naturally didn't understand.

"How much did you pay for that learning machine?"

"What's wrong? Wait! Wait! Qiaodou sack!" Liu Li glanced at us and seemed to have guessed the answer. "Don't tell me the things are gone?"

I glanced at Tang Xin, and she held my hand out to me, as if to say, "Don't be afraid." I sighed, "Yes, I found that the desk was overturned and your things were stolen when I arrived."

"Ah? No way!" Liu Li almost fell off his chair, "Is it really gone?"

All three of us nodded again.

"This is no joke." Liu Li's face turned pale, "That's quite expensive."

"I'll talk to the teacher. This matter is my fault. Let me check the surveillance first to see if I can see the thief. If I can't find the thief, I'll compensate you." I said helplessly.

When Liu Li saw me say that, he glanced at Jiang Yu, who shrugged his shoulders to show that there was nothing he could do. "But, that thing is quite expensive. I don't think it would be right to ask you to pay for it."

"So you're just going to let it go? You're losing a learning machine for nothing?" I said with a wry smile, "Since it's my fault, I will take responsibility."

"That one costs 3000."

I know it's expensive, but I didn't know it would be that expensive. You have to know that at this point in time, an iPhone is only over 5000 yuan.

"Sorry, you have to bear with it for now. I will go and find out the reason today." I turned around and stopped talking to them.

Seeing this, Tang Xin turned sideways and said, "Xiao Meng, if you don't have enough money, I can lend you some."

I was somewhat touched: "Thank you, but for the time being I still have some savings. After all, I still have some scholarships saved up from all these years. I'll talk to the teacher about this first."

After the morning self-study get out of class, I hurried out of the classroom and came to Teacher Song's office. Teacher Song seemed to have just arrived at the office and was tidying up her desk.

"Teacher Song?" I called softly.

She turned around in confusion, and when she saw it was me, she smiled. Somehow, Teacher Song looked even more beautiful today, like a blooming peach blossom. It’s hard to describe the feeling, it’s like she suddenly became mature.

"What do you want to talk to the teacher about? Li Xiaomeng. Do you want to eat chocolate?" Teacher Song smiled and seemed to be in a very good mood.

Looking at the chocolate handed to me by Teacher Song, I shook my head with a bitter look on my face, and didn't know how to start for a moment.
