After washing my hands, I gently tapped her head: "What are you thinking about? Eating raw meat and drinking blood! Spare ribs sashimi?"

"Hey hey hey."

"Now it's easy. Pour a certain amount of oil into the iron pan and heat it up." As I said that, I turned on the gas stove and put the pan on it.

"When the oil is about the right temperature, put the ribs in the pot!" I took the bowl with the meat and motioned Tang Xin to stand further away, "Move aside, it might explode."

Tang Xin took two steps back and the ribs were put into the pan with "sizzle". The water in the sauce reacted violently with the oil.

"At this time, you must stir-fry quickly. Let the starch on the surface combine with the meat quickly to lock in the moisture inside!"

"Xiao Meng! Be careful, the oil will be very hot if it splashes!" Although Tang Xin was hiding far away, I could still tell that she was worried about me.

"It's okay, I'm used to it." I gave her a reassuring smile and continued frying.

"Finally, stir-fry until the sauce is reduced, and the braised spareribs are done!" I picked up the pot skillfully and poured the braised spareribs into the dish.

"Can I try a piece?" Tang Xin's eyes were almost shining.

"of course can!"

"Ah... um..." Tang Xin picked a piece of meat that was neither too big nor too small and put it into her mouth. As she tasted it, Tang Xin's eyes gradually narrowed and curved into a crescent shape.

"It's... so delicious...!" she said excitedly, "Is this a top chef? I've never eaten braised spareribs so delicious."

"Come on, stop flattering me." My face turned red. This girl is bragging and doesn't pay taxes. Although I admit that the things I burn are not bad, they are not to this extent. If she is more exaggerated, this book will be banned. People who don't know will think it is **.

"Teach me how to cook!" Tang Xin suddenly held my hand, "Coach, I want to learn how to cook."

"Ah?" I was stunned. "Why?"

"I just... I feel like if a girl can't cook, she's unqualified..." she said shyly.

"No, that's prejudice."

"I don't care. I want to learn! Later, I can cook for..."

"Ok?"

"Teach me!" Tang Xin started to act coquettishly.

"Okay, okay! Then let's start with the simplest scrambled eggs with tomatoes?"

"it is good!"

Half an hour later, my aunt and sister came back.

"Xiao Meng, we're back!" Auntie opened the door first and walked in. Seeing Tang Xin cooking with me in the kitchen, she was stunned: "Huh? Tang Xin is here too?"

"Yes, come to our house for dinner." I nodded.

"That's good, it makes the house more lively." Aunt nodded with a smile.

"How's my sister doing?" I asked.

"The lawyer is handling it. There is hope. Wait for the news."

"Sister, eh? Sister Tangxin?" Xiaoling also ran into the kitchen and was a little surprised to see the two of us.

"what happened?"

"I'm hungry..." Xiaoling felt a little embarrassed.

"It's almost done, almost done." I covered my mouth and laughed, "You can eat after I finish teaching you how to make the last bowl of stir-fried vegetables for Sister Tang Xin."

……

"Wow, Xiaomeng, the food tonight is so rich..." The aunt who had just come to the table took off the food cover and her eyes widened when she saw the table full of dishes.

"Of course, to reward you. By the way, we have guests. Moreover, several dishes here are made by Tang Xin." I said proudly.

"Oh, you have an apprentice now? You're so good, Tang Xin?" Aunt looked at us approvingly, "Let me have a taste."

"No, Xiaomeng taught me well." Although Tang Xin spoke modestly, she did not show any modesty at all. Instead, she looked like she was about to praise me.

"Not bad, not bad. The taste is good." Xiaoling couldn't help but eat it with relish.

"Okay, okay, let's eat." I found it funny to see them flattering each other, so I quickly asked them to stop.

"This is the most delicious meal I've ever had!" Tang Xin whispered in my ear...

A project is finally delivered, and I can sleep well at night

Chapter 137 Fireworks

"Tonight is New Year's Eve. Shall we go out and play?" Tang Xin called me early in the morning on New Year's Eve.

"What are you going to do?" I was still a little confused because I was still sleeping.

"Let's set off fireworks! We couldn't do that when we were kids, but we can at least set off bigger fireworks now, right?" Tang Xin couldn't stop her excitement on the other end of the phone.

"Okay." I turned around and thought, then asked, "How big are the fireworks?"

"Maybe... it's higher?"

"Long?"

"Um…"

"Oh, that's good. See you at the riverside tonight?"

"okay!"

...At night, the lights come on...

"Is this the fireworks you told me were as tall as a person?!" I was stunned when I saw Tang Xin standing by the river.

"Yes, is it big?" Tang Xin looked proud.

"It's not a question of whether it's big or not!" I covered my face, "It's a question of whether we have the courage to do it."

I always thought that the big fireworks Tang Xin mentioned were just the long handheld fireworks. Until now, I saw a row of fireworks next to Tang Xin, each of which was a huge square box as tall as a person.

"Didn't you let it go enough before..."

"Okay... it's still early now, isn't it too early to set off fireworks?" I reluctantly accepted the fact, "and look, the elderly people who were walking by have gathered around us."

"It's okay. My uncle will come to help. He will call a few more people to help us evacuate the crowd and light the fire."

"Okay...where are we going now?" I asked.

"Let's go boating!" Tang Xin had already made plans. She took my hand and ran towards a business by the river.

The county river in N city is quite wide, and this place is a confluence of two rivers in the suburbs, so a relatively wide water surface is formed. Many businesses choose to do business on the water, opening stores on boats floating on the water. Tang Xin chose one of the businesses that rents human-powered pedal boats.

"Boss, how do we play this?" Tang Xin ran to the counter and asked.

"The price is higher today, one hundred dollars an hour. It's a double boat." The boss, who is in his forties, is a local and can barely speak Mandarin.

"Then let's play for an hour!"

After Tang Xin paid the money, a waiter took us to the small dock nearby.

"Pick one."

Most of the boats parked on the shore are two-person boats, one on the left and one on the right, with pedals similar to bicycles and a rudder, which looks very convenient to operate. Although the appearance is different, they are basically cartoon-shaped.

After choosing for a long time, Tang Xin still couldn't make up her mind. She turned to me and asked, "Xiao Meng, which one do you think looks good?"

"They're all pretty much the same." In my eyes, they all looked ridiculous. After all, these fiberboard shells all looked silly. "Why not pick the swan? It looks better."

"Then I'll listen to you." Tang Xin ran over first.

"Little girl, wait a minute. Be careful when getting on the boat." The clerk was startled and quickly organized himself.

Tang Xin stuck out her tongue playfully.

"Look how anxious you are." Although I was laughing at Tang Xin, I was a little curious in my heart. I often saw people playing on this boat when I came to the river before, but I had never tried it myself. I really wanted to give it a try.

"Girls, come on board~" The clerk untied the ropes tied to the shore and turned on the boat's warning lights, indicating that we could get on board.

After we both got on the boat, I realized that it was actually bigger than it looked from the outside. Although it was a little up and down, it was generally stable.

"Girl, just use your feet to push forward." The clerk leaned over and explained to us, "Don't drive near the dam at night, and don't drive upstream. The water there is too shallow and it's easy to run aground. If you have any problems, press the red button next to it. This is an emergency call for help, and we will come immediately. Also, you must wear the yellow life jacket on the seat. If you fall into the water, blow into the air hole next to it, and the life jacket will turn into a swimming ring..."

The clerk talked a lot, and Tang Xin responded perfunctorily, not knowing whether he listened or not.

"set off!"

Before the clerk finished talking, Tang Xin couldn't wait to step on the pedal. Because this pedal still requires two people to step on it together, I had to follow suit.

"It doesn't seem heavy, does it? It's lighter than I thought." The boat started sailing, and the speed was faster than expected.

"It's a little heavier than riding a bicycle!" Tang Xin nodded in agreement, "But it's not fast enough!"

"If it's faster, do you want to drive a speedboat?" I laughed. "It's nice to drive slowly and enjoy the scenery."

"Indeed~ The two-layer light strips on the embankment are so beautiful! Looking at the two banks from the center of the river, this perspective is very novel!" Tang Xin turned her head and looked around, her eyes shining.

“It looks good, right~”

"Well, it looks good! But not as good-looking as you." Tang Xin suddenly changed the topic to me.

“Huh?” My heart skipped a beat and my face started to burn. “Suddenly…what are you talking about?”

"It means exactly what it says. Xiaomeng is so beautiful today."

"Thank you..." I didn't know what to say in response for a moment. Although I did dress up carefully before going out, and wore the newly bought clothes, I also asked my sister to help me with the matching of clothes.

"I wish I could be as beautiful as Xiaomeng." Tang Xin looked at me with envy, "360-degree beauty without blind spots."

"Isn't Tang Xin beautiful?" I was a little confused. In my eyes, Tang Xin is definitely a top-notch beauty.

"It's just... I feel like I'm not as pretty as you." Tang Xin shook her head, "Girls always compare themselves to others."

"Hmm?" I asked cautiously.

"You don't know what other girls are talking about behind your back. They are all envious of you!" Tang Xin sighed.

"What did they say?"

"Forget it, let's go back. It's boring. I'm tired, let's go get some midnight snack." Tang Xin lowered her eyes and changed the subject. But before she had even stepped on the bench for ten minutes, she was already yelling about going back for a midnight snack.

"Oh." I nodded tactfully. Since Tang Xin didn't want me to know, I wouldn't continue asking. After all, I didn't care what people other than Tang Xin thought of me.
