Chapter 10 Half Rival in Love
"The taste of dumpling filling." Zhou Yan said, "I will be busy next week and won't have time to cook. Make a few extra and put them in the freezer. You can heat them up when you want to eat them."
"Wow, Brother Zhou, you are my real brother." Lin Xu really wanted to give Zhou Yan a hug.
Where can I find such a good landlord?
He always complained to Chen Jinhe about his bad luck before. But how could this be bad luck? He was incredibly lucky, okay?!
Zhou Yan said as he kneaded the dough, "I can't let you call me brother for nothing, right? In my hometown, if you call me brother, I have to protect you."
Lin Xu felt that Zhou Yan sounded quite ruffian when he said this.
He was so handsome that it blinded him.
It also made him feel warm inside.
"Then I won't call you Brother Zhou anymore, I'll just call you Brother, okay?" Lin Xu asked Zhou Yan eagerly.
Zhou Yan didn't hesitate: "Okay. Beijing is so big, it's fate that we can live together and have similar personalities."
Lin Xu chuckled and limped over to the dining table and sat down. "Then teach me how to make dumplings. You could make them all by yourself until dark."
"I'll make it myself. It's a waste of time to teach you."
"I just haven't done it. I'm not that stupid." Lin Xu puffed out his cheeks, looking unhappy at being looked down upon.
"Okay, I'll teach you." Zhou Yan had no choice but to compromise.
The snow-white dough was extremely obedient in Zhou Yan's hands. He kneaded it into a round shape, flattened it, and rolled it into a skin. He then put the meat filling on it and pinched it with both hands, and a beautiful dumpling was wrapped.
Lin Xu raised his eyebrows unconsciously and narrowed his eyes.
"Why are you so good at cooking? Have you been learning it since you were a child?" Lin Xu was curious.
"I didn't take the time to learn it, but where I live, most men know how to cook. It's in their genes, I guess."
"I heard that he's the number one in spoiling his wife."
Zhou Yan smiled and said nothing.
Lin Xu then realized that this house was originally intended to be a wedding house, and Zhou Yan said they broke up before they could use it.
The fingerprint lock still had the girl's fingerprints on it, and I was the one who asked him to delete them.
Lin Xu's heart was actually crooked. Although he didn't know the reason for the breakup, he was sure that Zhou Yan was not the one at fault just because he treated her so well.
Worried that bringing up this topic would affect Zhou Yan's mood, Lin Xu quickly changed the subject.
"I'll try to make one."
Lin Xu imitated Zhou Yan's movements, picked up a piece of dumpling wrapper, put the meat filling on it, and pinched it hard.
I used too much force and the meat filling broke the dumpling skin.
Zhou Yan said in a tone that seemed to indicate he had expected this: "It's okay, just practice a few more times and you'll be fine."
"oh."
Lin Xu tried a few more times, but either he couldn't make the dumplings, or they turned out to be weird shapes.
In order to prevent him from wasting all the noodles, Zhou Yan had no choice but to walk behind Lin Xu and hold his hands.
Teach him how to knead it step by step.
Damn! Why does this big brother always do sneak attacks like this?
Lin Xu's back was pressed against Zhou Yan's, and his hair stood up instantly.
Not to mention that Zhou Yan's big hand was tightly holding the back of his hand.
Lin Xu was afraid that Zhou Yan would notice his suddenly accelerated heartbeat, so he froze and dared not move.
Try to keep all your attention on your fingers.
"Don't rely on the strength of your fingers, rely on the base of your fingers, pinch like this."
Under Zhou Yan's teaching, a beautiful dumpling appeared in the palms of the two people.
Zhou Yan also let go of his hand, stood up and said, "Try it yourself."
Lin Xu put the dumpling in his palm aside and tried it again. It was not as beautiful as the previous one, but it was also a big improvement.
Lin Xu looked around and finally found a bag to put the dumpling in.
Zhou Yan was puzzled: "Why?"
Lin Xu put the dumplings in the freezer and froze them separately: "Don't eat this. I want to keep it as a souvenir. This is my first time making dumplings."
Zhou Yan was amused: "Don't you know that frozen food in the refrigerator also has a shelf life?"
"Then we can eat it later." Lin Xu put it away carefully before returning to continue making dumplings.
Zhou Yan's hands-on teaching achieved remarkable results. Lin Xu quickly mastered the skills and helped Zhou Yan share some of the workload.
After all the dumplings were wrapped, Zhou Yan put the tray in the refrigerator to freeze, leaving some for dinner to cook in the kitchen.
The aroma of noodles mixed with meat soon filled the whole house.
No wonder people in the north like to eat dumplings. The smell of them makes you feel warm.
Lin Xu ate more than twenty of them in one breath.
He was so stretched that he couldn't sit up straight, and leaned back in his chair with a look of satisfaction on his face.
Zhou Yan brought another bowl of dumpling soup: "This is called original soup and original food. You will feel better after drinking it."
"No, I'll take my time." Lin Xu waved his hand.
"I told you that you can eat the frozen food in the refrigerator anytime. Who told you to eat so much at once?" Zhou Yan sneered mercilessly.
"It's so delicious! I didn't like dumplings before, but it turns out it's not my problem, it's the dumplings'."
Lin Xu rested for a while, drank half a bowl of dumpling soup, and finally felt so full that he couldn't even drink the Chinese medicine.
Unfortunately, his leg was injured, and Zhou Yan didn't let him go downstairs for a walk, so he had to stroll around the living room holding on to the wall.
Zhou Yan transformed into an interviewer and asked Lin Xu questions that he might be asked in an interview.
Then help him correct his answer.
Lin Xu exclaimed that Zhou Yan was actually a seasoned veteran.
Zhou Yan didn't take it seriously. He had been working for seven years and had become quite adept at smoking.
After another night's rest, Lin Xu's legs were almost able to walk normally, and he went to the interview at the company in a brand new state.
It is a big company, so naturally there are many people applying for jobs.
Lin Xu also met an acquaintance.
My college classmate, Yu Jing.
Half a love rival.
I say half because it used to be, but it isn't anymore.
And it never posed any threat to him.
Yu Jing saw Lin Xu at a glance.
I hate that even though he is down and out now, he is still the most eye-catching one in the crowd.
Yu Jing walked through the crowd and came in front of Lin Xu: "Hey, isn't this an old classmate? What a coincidence."
Lin Xu had actually noticed him a long time ago, but was just too lazy to pay attention to him.
Even if he came over to say hello, Lin Xu still didn't want to pay attention to him.
Yu Jing glanced at the resume in his hand and kept asking, "Why are you still looking for a job? To experience life? Where's Shen Xinji? Is Young Master Shen willing to let you come out to work?"
"Oh, look at my memory. Young Master Shen got married, and you broke up?"
Yu Jing deliberately raised his voice to attract the attention of people around him and act arrogantly.
Lin Xu then looked at him and said, "Yes, we broke up, but you still have no chance. You couldn't compare to me when we were in school, and now you can't compare to his wife. You can only rant here."
Lin Xu touched Yu Jing's sore spot with a casual touch.
Yu Jing gritted his teeth and said, "Lin Xu, you're just being kept by him for fun. You don't even have any work experience. How can you compete with so many people? I advise you to go back quickly and stop wasting your time."
