Seeing Lin Xi's happy expression, Lin Xiao was also delighted: "Then I'll take your good wishes. If I make a fortune from the house, I'll definitely share half with you."

"You'd better keep your word, or you'll go back on your word later."

Lin Xiao silently said to himself: "Don't even mention half, I'd be willing to give you everything."

But he couldn't say that and scare Lin Xi. They were still young and in school, so he should wait and tell her his feelings later. Anyway, he had already decided on Lin Xi; she was the one for him.

After telling the happy stories, Lin Xi brought up the matter of Gou Dan's father. When she got angry, she clenched her fists. If Lin Wei were in front of her now, she would definitely beat him up.

"Gou Dan Ge is so pitiful. His father just abandoned them like that. No man is any good. They are all ingrates."

Lin Jianguo and Lin Xiao, who were caught in the crossfire, coughed awkwardly to indicate that they were not like that.

Unaware of what was happening, Lin Xi continued angrily, "You know, Aunt Peach Blossom, how much suffering she's endured! She finally had a few days of peace and quiet, and then this happened. Sigh, it makes me feel uncomfortable too."

After putting Xiao Bao to sleep, Jiang's mother came over and heard Er Ya talking about Li Taohua's family. She was so angry that she wanted to go out and beat Lin Wei.

"Does he even have a heart? Peach Blossom Girl is such a good person. He abandoned his wife for some vixen outside. Doesn't he even think about what that woman can get out of him? He's still young now and can still make some money while people are pampering him. But when he can't make any money anymore, do you think that woman will still look at him? Bah, what a piece of trash."

"Mom, don't be angry. It's not worth ruining your health. People like him will get their comeuppance sooner or later. As for Aunt Peach Blossom, take good care of her these next few days. We kids can't always say things to each other. Talk to her more often and let her vent. Don't keep it all bottled up inside, or she'll get sick."

"Okay, I'll go see her right now. That poor girl must be feeling really sad."

After giving her a brief explanation, she rushed out, ignoring Lin Xi's calls for her to return: "Mom, Mom, Mom, I'm starving! I haven't eaten yet. Can you make me something to eat?"

But Jiang's mother had already gone far away, and it was quiet outside, with only the chirping of insects.

Lin Xi couldn't call Jiang's mother back, so she could only look at Lin Jianguo pitifully.

Lin Jianguo waved his hand and said, "My cooking skills are so bad that even our dog, Dahei, doesn't want to eat. If you want some, I'll make some for you."

Lin Xi quickly stopped him: "Okay, stop, stop it. Forget it, I don't want to move either. Let's just leave it like this and consider it a way to lose weight."

Lin Xiao looked at the girl in front of him. She was about 1.6 meters tall and looked very thin. Her arms were as thin as sticks and didn't look very fleshy. Her veins were bulging.

With such a small frame, she's trying to lose weight? Doesn't she fear a strong gust of wind might blow her away?

"Sit down and rest for a while. I'll go make you...you and your godfather a bowl of noodles. My cooking skills have improved quite a bit. It seems I do have some talent."

He knew that Lin Xi had never liked cooking, and in the spirit of winning someone's heart, he decided to start with her stomach. So he had worked hard to improve his cooking skills over the past few years.

In order to become the master's apprentice, he bought a membership and pestered the master every day. He even dragged his father and everyone he knew to the store. It took a lot of effort before the master finally agreed to accept him as his shameless apprentice.

Lin Xi glanced at him and asked suspiciously, "Brother Lin Xiao, can you cook? I'm afraid I'll get diarrhea if I eat this."

"Don't worry, I guarantee you'll have a great time and be satisfied with your meal. You can rest here for a bit, it'll be ready soon."

It was getting late, so Lin Xiao didn't think about making anything complicated and just made simple hand-pulled noodles.

First, make a dough. There are some tips for making dough for noodles. First, the dough should not be too soft. It can be slightly firm. This will not only prevent it from sticking when rolling it out, but also make it more chewy. Second, when making the dough, you need to knead it three times and let it rest for twenty minutes. Then knead it again for three to five minutes. This process needs to be repeated three times so that the dough is chewy and smooth.

He practiced kneading the dough for a long time; it couldn't be too soft or too hard.

Then, making tomato and egg sauce is not as simple as just stir-frying them together. There are tricks to making tomato and egg sauce more sweet and sour and delicious. 1. The ratio of tomatoes to eggs is about 1:1. This is based on normal-sized eggs, but it can be adjusted according to the situation.

2. Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them with chopsticks. Cut the tomatoes into evenly sized pieces. 3.

Heat some oil in a wok, pour in the eggs and stir-fry until set, then remove from the wok.

4. Add a little more oil to the pot, first add a small amount of chopped green onions, then add the tomatoes and stir-fry until they are soft and mushy.

Next, after the tomatoes are cooked until soft and mushy, pour two bowls of water into the pot, bring it to a boil over high heat, and cook for two minutes. Then, pour in the cooked eggs and stir well. After boiling again, thicken the sauce with cornstarch slurry, and finally add salt to taste. The tomato and egg sauce is now ready.

Next, it's time to make the hand-pulled noodles. First, knead the dough into a round shape, then flatten it with your hands. Then you can roll it out with a rolling pin. When rolling, pay attention to rotating the dough sheet. To make the dough sheet even in thickness, try to roll it into a round shape. If the dough is relatively hard, it will be a bit difficult, but you don't need to sprinkle too much flour. If the dough is a bit soft, then you need to sprinkle more flour to prevent it from sticking when rolling.

After rolling out the dough, sprinkle enough flour on it, spread it evenly, and stack it up. Then, cut it into strips of appropriate width according to your preference.

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, add the rolled-out noodles. One important thing to note when cooking the noodles is not to cover the pot with a lid, as this will easily make the noodles mushy and lose their chewy texture. Cook for about two minutes, and they're done. Before serving, add some blanched greens, then transfer them to a bowl and pour tomato and egg sauce over them. Enjoy!

Lin Xi smelled the delicious aromas wafting from the kitchen, gave a thumbs up and said, "Brother Lin Xiao, you're really good! It seems you really have some training. Whoever marries you in the future will be so lucky."

"Yeah, Lin Xiao, you're way better than your godfather. All I know how to do is boil water."
