Chapter 358 Old Classmates
Shameless bastard.
Song Yi almost cursed out loud.
She held it back and glared at him unhappily: "Is there a possibility that I am holding a grudge?"
Fu Xijing didn't care and said seriously: "Without love, where does hatred come from?"
Song Yi pushed his shoulder away and said, "I'm going to make dinner."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the island counter.
Fu Xijing followed behind, "I'll help."
Dinner was prepared a little late today, so Song Yi simply made two sandwiches to make do with it. Fu Xijing was not picky and ate with him.
After dinner, the two of them started studying the recipe sent by Mr. Li in the kitchen.
The first step is to make finger biscuits.
The recipe for lady fingers is simple, just flour, eggs, and sugar.
But often the simpler the recipe, the more it tests your skills.
Song Yi and Fu Xijing struggled around in the kitchen for more than an hour, but failed miserably.
A dish of unknown stuff was baked.
The egg whites were deflated and the cookies were not fluffy at all, like dried dumpling wrappers.
Song Yi thought he was quite talented in the kitchen, but this was his first time experiencing such a terrible failure and he was a little shocked.
She sat at the dining table with her chin in her hand, looking at the plate in front of her with a frown, as if she had encountered some academic problem.
"Every step was clearly according to the operating procedures, how could this happen?" Song Yi's voice was very low, and he was talking to himself.
But Fu Xijing heard it.
He looked at Song Yi who was seriously worried about this matter and wanted to laugh.
It's rare to see her childish side, so cute that makes people want to pinch her face.
Fu Xijing didn't let himself down. He went up to sit next to her and raised his hand to pinch her.
"Hey, don't touch me." Song Yi was feeling worried, and when he pinched her, he became a little impatient.
Fu Xijing: "It's just a failure. It's not a big deal. I can try again tomorrow."
Song Yi: "I want to find out the reason."
Fu Xijing: "It's like doing an experiment. It's impossible to draw any conclusions from failure."
Song Yi looked up at him and said, "You seem very experienced."
Fu Xijing thought to himself, isn't that right? When he was learning how to make tiramisu from that Michelin chef, the recipe seemed very simple. All he had to do was bake some cookies, soak some wine, beat some egg custard, and assemble the layers together.
As a result, I suffered a huge blow when I just started baking finger biscuits.
Fu Xijing's first failure experience was exactly the same as Song Yi's. His reaction at that time was also the same as Song Yi's. He did not give up and was determined to find out the reason.
So that night he worked all night baking eight trays of ladyfingers.
Not a single one was successful.
Fu Xijing was devastated that night and began to doubt himself for the first time in his life - perhaps he really didn't have the talent in this area.
He had not been good at kitchen work before, but he never doubted that it was because he lacked talent.
He has always been very confident that he has no weaknesses, and as long as he wants to learn, nothing can stop him.
As a result, he tripped over the finger biscuits.
After staying up all night, Fu Xijing went to the chef for lessons again. After three days of hard work, he finally baked successful finger biscuits.
The chef who taught him was impressed by his enthusiasm and said, "Mr. Fu has such a spirit of research, he will succeed in anything he does."
Fu Xijing pulled himself out of his memories and patted Song Yi on the shoulder. "Don't think about it today. Let's try again tomorrow."
Song Yi nodded and sighed, "It seems that we can't underestimate any kind of cuisine."
She felt a little regretful: "When Mr. Li first sent me the recipe, I thought it was very simple."
As a result, the first step failed.
Thinking about it this way, I feel that Mr. Li is even more amazing.
Song Yi subconsciously followed up with a compliment: "He's amazing."
As soon as he finished praising, Song Yi noticed that Fu Xijing's expression changed.
She was smiling originally, but now the smile is gone from her face.
"It's inappropriate to praise others like this in front of me, right?" As soon as Fu Xijing opened his mouth, a sour taste came out.
Song Yi was speechless. She had just casually sighed and even made him jealous: "Childish."
Fu Xijing: "Yes, not as mature as my neighbor Mr. Li."
"...Psycho." Song Yi hit his shoulder angrily, "I'm going to take a shower." If he stayed with him for a while longer, this guy would probably make something of the matter.
When Fu Xijing becomes childish, he is really hard to deal with and can be said to be unreasonable.
Fu Xijing successfully diverted Song Yi's attention. He watched her leave the kitchen, smiled, picked up the "finger biscuits" on the plate and took a bite.
Like toasted bread slices.
But it was a little more successful than his first time baking.
——
After a person fails once, he becomes obsessed with something. So for the next two days, Song Yi repeated the same thing.
By the next afternoon, she had baked perfect ladyfingers and then spent another day learning how to make custard.
On Friday evening, I successfully made a plate of tiramisu, wrapped it in plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator.
It was originally agreed that Fu Xijing would learn it, but in the end she learned it first.
However, the taste is still not as good as Mr. Li’s - I always feel like something is missing.
Song Yi still wanted to try, but it was already Saturday, the day the two families had dinner together.
So the plan was shelved.
The Fu family ordered dinner, which officially started at six o'clock.
Song Yi and Fu Xijing arrived early. They waited for Song Lansheng and Jiang Jiang in the basement and went up with them.
Not only Song Lansheng and Jiang Jiang came tonight, but Jiang Yuxu was also here - he happened to be going to the courtyard to deliver something in the afternoon, so he was brought along.
The group entered the elevator together.
The box was on the seventh floor. After the elevator stopped, Fu Xijing immediately started pushing Jiang Jiang's wheelchair out. He was so attentive.
Jiang Yuxu found it strange, and the usually expressionless man curled up the corners of his mouth and smiled.
Song Yi noticed Jiang Yuxu's expression, and the brother and sister exchanged glances.
Several people walked towards the box, chatting and laughing.
Song Yi asked about Jiang Yuxu's recent situation and was about to ask him about his work when he suddenly ran into an acquaintance.
The moment he saw Gui Qing, Song Yi was stunned.
She is not alone.
There is a man next to him.
A head taller than her, wearing a suit.
His arm was now resting on Guiqing's waist.
The man had a pair of peach blossom eyes and was quite handsome. Objectively speaking, he and Gui Qing looked quite a match when standing together.
only……
Just as Song Yi was about to look at Jiang Yuxu beside him, the man next to Gui Qing actually called out his name first—
"Yuxu!" The man's voice was filled with a smile. "Are you coming here to eat too?"
...Judging from the tone, they seem to be familiar with each other?
"Yes, with my family." Jiang Yuxu replied calmly.
"Yuxu, who is this?" Jiang Jiang asked casually.
Jiang Yuxu: "Old classmate, we shared a dormitory during our master's degree studies."
