Fang He came in from outside carrying a plate and saw them sitting together eating noodles with soybean paste. He was so anxious that his mouth watered. It was really tragic. There were guests outside, and someone had to watch over them. Just because he came later, he was arranged to wait outside until everyone finished eating before he could eat.
He stared at Lu Xi with pleading eyes, blinking his large, pitiful eyes, gesturing for him to eat quickly so he could come out and take his place and go inside to eat.
Lu Xi focused intently on slurping the noodles, not even glancing up at Fang He. He wondered to himself when he would be able to make such delicious noodles with soybean paste.
Sigh, compared to Brother Anrong, his cooking skills are really average. He's far inferior at making noodles.
Kneading dough is a difficult skill to master; the dough he kneads is either too hard or too soft, never quite right.
When rolling out noodles, it's difficult to control the smoothness of the dough, and the most challenging part is achieving even thickness.
After finally rolling out the dough, you need to be precise when cutting the noodles to avoid affecting the taste. Noodles with soybean paste need to be thicker, noodles in soup need to be thinner, and noodles with minced meat sauce need to be thicker than your finger.
An Rong Ge's noodles can be as thick or as thin as you like.
But he was different. Every time he cut noodles, they were uneven in thickness and didn't look good at all.
If he wants to learn from Brother Anrong, he still needs to practice constantly.
Seeing that he was distracted, Fang He could only grit his teeth, put down the dirty tableware, and leave with a dark face.
Lu Xi only remembered that Fang He was outside and hadn't had time to come in and eat when she was half full.
"I'm full, go and change to Fang He." Fang He was three years older than him, but he didn't want to call him brother; he preferred to call him by his name.
Huang Rong pulled him back, saying, "You haven't finished eating yet, what's the rush?"
She didn't want Fang He to come in for dinner at all. Ever since the last incident, she felt annoyed whenever she saw Fang He's face. He was a man with no manners, and just looking at him made her want to vomit.
In the past, Lu Xi would have listened to Huang Rong and obediently sat down to continue eating, but not now. Fang He was his friend, and he couldn't leave his friend busy outside and hungry. So he sat down and ignored him.
Lu Xi put down her chopsticks, washed her hands, and went out to let Fang He come in for dinner.
Huang Rong watched coldly from behind, feeling very uncomfortable. Ever since Fang He came, she had been neglected, and Lu Xi rarely even looked at her properly.
He always huddled together with Fang He, whispering to her so she wouldn't hear. At night, he would always lock the door from the inside, making it inconvenient for her to go in.
In short, it's all Fang He's fault.
She grew angrier the more she thought about it. Just then, Fang He walked in from outside and met her angry face. His heart sank. Seeing that woman made him feel unlucky; nothing good could come of it.
"Are you hungry? Eat up." An Rong ladled out a large bowl for him and handed it to Fang He.
Fang He looked away, his eyes lighting up as he focused on the noodles with soybean paste in the bowl.
At home, he had never eaten Zhajiangmian (noodles with soybean paste), nor had he ever even heard of it.
He mixed the noodles, trying to coat each strand with the rich sauce for a more satisfying taste.
Fang He slurped, picked up a large piece of noodles covered in fried sauce, opened his mouth wide, and slurped it up. The aroma of meat and sauce filled his mouth, and a feeling of happiness and satisfaction rushed straight to the top of his head.
"It's so delicious." He had eaten many kinds of noodles, but none of them were as good as the ones made by Brother Anrong.
After Yuan Doudou finished eating, she played with Tangtang on the side. Seeing Fang He eating with a satisfied expression, she smiled knowingly.
"Don't choke, finish your food before you get more." Fang He has been here for a month, and Yuan Doudou quite likes this child.
When she learned that he had secretly left home to experience life and wanted to earn some money to prove he wasn't a good-for-nothing, she admired Fang He more and more.
"Thank you, Sister Dou Dou."
Yuan Doudou is only five years older than him, but they don't look even five years apart. Yuan Doudou is very well-maintained and you can't tell that she has two children and is already twenty-three years old.
"You're welcome. You're so capable, it's good for you to eat more," Yuan Doudou said with a smile.
Fang He was deeply moved. When he first came, he offered to provide food and lodging, saying that money was not important. However, Yuan Doudou still agreed and gave him three taels of silver every month, which was a price that could not be found anywhere else.
He went to several places, and they all agreed as soon as they heard he didn't want money, but they all shook their heads as soon as he said he had never done it before.
Not to mention they can pay such high wages.
According to Lu Xi, he also has money every month, but he doesn't spend it recklessly. Instead, he plans to save it and use it to buy gifts when Tangtang turns one year old.
Fang He blushed from the compliment. It was true; men don't feel anything when praised, but when praised by a beautiful woman, they're practically strutting around like crazy.
Moreover, she is such a beautiful woman as Sister Dou Dou. She doesn't even need to say a word. Just sitting there quietly is a pleasure to watch.
"Your face is as red as a monkey's bottom, aren't you ashamed?" Huang Rong's stomach was so full it felt like it was going to explode, and when she saw Fang He's face, she suddenly felt nauseous.
Fang He didn't bother with her at all. After eating, he went out to work. Why was she trying to get attention from him?
He was two years older than Huang Rong, but he didn't treat her as a younger sister. On the contrary, he regarded Huang Rong as an older sister.
A typical example of cheating and shirking responsibility.
"None of your business." Fang He wouldn't give in to her; he retorted with every word she said.
Huang Rong held her breath and didn't say anything, just stared straight at him. What a despicable person, he had no gentlemanly manners at all.
She didn't believe he was the young master of some wealthy family; she figured he was just a country bumpkin trying to swindle people.
Only a fool like Lu Xi would believe him.
Yuan Doudou couldn't stand it anymore. They had been arguing for as long as Fang He had been there. She had already spoken to them privately and asked them to get along peacefully.
However, the repulsion between people doesn't seem to be something that can be eliminated in a few words; their magnetic fields are never compatible.
Yuan Doudou considered herself a master of impartiality, but she really couldn't do anything about them.
Fang He finished one bowl and went to get another. Just as he was about to eat, Huang Rong started speaking sarcastically again.
"Pig, eating so much."
Fang He rolled his eyes at her and pretended to look away.
"Huh, what's that? I hear a dog barking."
Huang Rong first turned away, genuinely thinking a dog had come in, until she saw the mocking look on Fang He's lips and realized that he was cursing her.
"You're the dog, your whole family are dogs."
Fang He became anxious: "Huang Rong, you've gone too far."
Huang Rong realized she had spoken out of turn, her face flushed red, and she refused to bow her head.
"You insulted me first." She said, her voice lacking confidence.
Yuan Doudou couldn't listen anymore either. "Huang Rong, go out and help."
Huang Rong gave an "oh" and left dejectedly.
Only she and Fang He were in the room. Tangtang was carried back to the bedroom by An Rong to sleep.
"Fang He, I hope that as a man, you can refrain from arguing with women," Yuan Doudou said seriously.
