The proficiency life of rebirth

Chapter 127

"Mom, what are we going to eat tonight? Don't you know how to eat dumplings? I have almost made all the dumplings frozen in the refrigerator, and I can't eat the rest alone."

When it was time to prepare dinner, Xu Dongjun stood up from the sofa, walked to the TV, and opened the door of the refrigerator.

"When you think about it, we all starved to death. When you and Sissy went to play at Xiaomao's house, your dad and I went to the vegetable market, bought vegetables and put them in the refrigerator." Tang Wenxiu said .

"I bought a lot of vegetables, let me cook today's meal."

Xu Dongjun took out shallots, green vegetables, eggplants, potatoes, tomatoes, eggs and pork from the refrigerator.

"A tomato scrambled egg, a potato shredded pork, an eggplant with minced meat and fish flavor, and a vegetable soup! Sissy, do you have anything you want in particular? Tell Brother Jun, and Brother Jun will make it for you."

As for spices such as ginger and garlic, they are all available in the kitchen.

Xu Qianqian shook her head.

Xu Dongjun's expression darkened.

But soon, he cheered up and said, "You remember that you like sweet and sour pork! It just so happens that there is a piece of tenderloin here. Brother Jun will make it for you."

"Old Xu, look, there are people who only care about their younger sisters and don't care about their parents anymore." Tang Wenxiu was jealous, and said eccentrically.

"Yes." Xu Wei echoed from the side.

Xu Dongjun was very amused by the behavior of the two children, and asked, "Second elder, do you have anything you want to eat?"

Tang Wenxiu smiled and said, "I don't have any. As long as it's made by my precious son, I like to eat it. It's your father who is tricky." She sold Xu Wei backhandedly.

Xu Wei hastily denied Sanlian: "It's not me, don't talk nonsense, I don't have one."

"..."

The couple!

Xu Dongjun felt as if he had been severely fed a large bowl of dog food, and the dog food came from his parents.

Although he has eaten dog food many times, he has never liked the taste.

Ignoring the two, Xu Dongjun entered the kitchen silently carrying the bag of vegetables.

Wash the rice and cook!

Wash the vegetables, chop the vegetables, start the fire...

He is very familiar with the whole process, and it is called a quick one.

Not long after, the unique aroma of food came from the kitchen.

After putting the last vegetable soup on the table, Xu Dongjun wiped his hands on his pink apron and shouted to the three people on the sofa: "It's time to eat."

"coming."

The three of Xu Wei came to the table one after another.

Xu Dongjun put the bowls and chopsticks filled with rice in front of them.

"Cissy, come and try the sweet and sour pork that your brother Jun specially made for you."

Tang Wenxiu picked up a piece of greasy tenderloin, felt the temperature with her lips, and fed it to Xu Qianqian's mouth.

Xu Qianqian obediently bit the tenderloin into her mouth.

Xu Dongjun asked like offering a treasure: "Qiqian, is it delicious?"

"Delicious!" Xu Qianqian nodded slightly, but she didn't smile as Xu Dongjun imagined.

"I'll try it too."

Xu Wei waved his chopsticks, and also picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork tenderloin and put it in his mouth.

The rich sweet and sour flavor explodes instantly on the taste buds.

The skin of the fried tenderloin is not softened by the sauce on the outside, but still slightly crispy, and the tender tenderloin inside is full of juice.

Xu Wei couldn't help admiring: "It's really good."

"That is!"

Xu Dongjun became proud of this: "I don't even look at whose son I am? Blood flows in other people's veins, but seasoning flows in mine."

Sometimes Xu Wei really wondered whether it was all kinds of seasonings or blood flowing in Xu Dongjun's blood vessels.

He studied cooking with his master for several years before becoming a chef, but Xu Dongjun became a chef in less than a month, and the taste of the dishes he cooked could match his.

If Xu Dongjun is given another period of time, the taste of the dishes he cooks will definitely surpass his.

However, no matter how good Xu Dongjun is, he is still his son. Xu Wei is both happy and proud.

"Stinky boy, now he is getting more and more talkative!"

Tang Wenxiu who was feeding Xu Qianqian laughed and cursed.

Xu Dongjun grinned.

"but……"

Xu Wei tasted the sweet and sour pork with another chopstick, and said, "I shouldn't have taught you how to make sweet and sour spare ribs, have I?"

"Uh, I learned this from a book." Xu Dongjun said bluntly without hiding anything.

He had no culinary knowledge before, but he couldn't realize it. Now, after a period of cooking practice, he can finally make the dishes in his mind.

Knowledge is power, the ancestors do not deceive me.

Xu Wei was surprised and said, "I learned it just by reading? If I hadn't skipped class and hid behind the temple to play cards in junior high school, and kept reading and learning how to cook, wouldn't I have become a famous chef now?"

"Just you, a famous chef? Dongjun can learn to cook by reading, but you can only fall asleep while reading. Not everyone is like my son."

Tang Wenxiu unceremoniously exposed Xu Wei's background, turned to Xu Qianqian and said, "Qiqian, don't learn from your father, you should study hard, you understand?"

"I know." Xu Qianxi nodded.

Xu Wei blushed a lot, but fortunately, it was hard to tell how dark his face was.

But he had to admit that Tang Wenxiu was right.If a person can learn to cook just by reading a book, then the whole world will not be full of chefs.

Having figured this out, Xu Wei praised Xu Dongjun, "You really deserve to be my son."

Tang Wenxiu rolled his eyes at him, turned around and told Xu Dongjun: "Don't be proud! Do everything with your feet on the ground."

Xu Dongjun: "Mom, I know, so don't worry. Your son has many advantages, the most obvious of which is his humility."

Both Xu Wei and Tang Wenxiu were speechless: "..."

Xu Dongjun asked: "By the way, Mom, will the Happiness Restaurant open tomorrow? It has been closed for several days."

Tang Wenxiu said: "You don't have to worry about these things, you won't die of starvation. Your father and I have already discussed it, and the business will officially start tomorrow, but I have to take care of Sissi, and I may be late in the store."

"It's okay. I'll have me tomorrow, and I'll be in charge of the spoon, and my dad will be the waiter."

With such a happy decision, Xu Dongjun can officially start cooking tomorrow.

After eating and washing the dishes, Xu Dongjun went to his room and took out the painting tools he bought earlier.

"Sissy, look, what did I bring you?"

He knocked on Xu Qianqian's room, entered it after getting permission, and put the drawing board and other tools on the desk: "Don't you want to learn to draw? These are for you."

"Thank you, Brother Jun."

Xu Qianqian couldn't put it down for this gift. It can be seen that she really likes painting.

Xu Dongjun didn't stop her from writing and drawing on the drawing board with a pencil, and only started to make up lessons for her after she had had enough fun.

After finishing all this, it was already 08:30, it was pitch black outside the window, and a few sporadic stars twinkled in the night sky.

Xu Qianqian looked up at the night through the window, and asked him, "Brother Jun, did mom and dad really become stars?"

Xu Dongjun touched her head with his left hand, pointed to the two twinkling stars in the sky with his right hand, and said, "Did you see those two brightest stars?"

"Saw."

Xu Qianqian opened her eyes wide and tried her best to look.

"I think that's Sissy's father and mother."

Xu Dongjun sighed in his heart, with a smirk on his mouth, and those two stars carried the sustenance of many children.

There were no shooting stars across the sky, and Xu Qianqian didn't make a wish either. She silently wrote down the positions of the two brightest stars in the sky.

Looking at it, hot tears slid down her cheeks.

She began to cry gradually, and the crying became louder and louder.

She was crying loudly, as if she wanted to cry out all the pain.

Xu Dongjun didn't speak, and silently accompanied her. He wanted to hold her in his arms, but he was worried about touching her injured right hand.

"You brat, you made Sissi cry again."

Tang Wenxiu walked into the room hearing the crying, raised her hand and patted Xu Dongjun.

"Tang Niang... Wow... Brother Jun didn't make me cry, so don't hit him." The crying Xu Qianqian defended Xu Dongjun.

"Okay, okay, Tang Niang won't hit him, after Sissi cries this time, she won't cry anymore, okay?"

Tang Wenxiu wiped away Xu Qianqian's tears with distress.

"Mom, I'm going back to my room."

Xu Dongjun said a word, handed Xu Qianqian to his mother, returned to the room, lay on the bed, and was quietly lost in thought.

Unknowingly, Xu Dongjun actually fell asleep.

When he woke up, he was already covered with a thin blanket, presumably his mother had entered his room and covered him.

Xu Dongjun got up from the bed, turned over and checked the time on the phone.

It was now a quarter past nine and he had been asleep for almost an hour.

Just as he was sitting back at the desk, the phone in his hand vibrated.

Picking up the phone, it was Lei Ting calling.

Xu Dongjun didn't think much, and connected directly.

"What are you doing?"

Lei Ting on the phone asked.

Xu Dongjun replied with a smile: "I received your call just after waking up. How about you?"

Lei Ting: "I just came home now. I just went to a party, and an uncle's son asked me for his contact information."

"Ok?"

Xu Dongjun was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Who makes you so attractive?"

Lei Ting smiled and teased: "Why, are you jealous? What makes you even more jealous? I gave him my contact information."

"Your contact information, you can give it to anyone you want, that's your freedom. Why should I be jealous?" Xu Dongjun didn't even notice it, and he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

He didn't notice it, but Lei Ting noticed it, showed a triumphant smile, and continued: "He also asked me out, asked me to play games, but unfortunately, I refused, I was afraid that he would cheat me, after all he Still a real schoolboy."

"School student?"

Xu Dongjun smiled and said, "Don't worry, the elementary school students are very good now."

Lei Ting: "Let's forget it, it's boring if you don't play together. I came to you because I have something good to tell you."

Xu Dongjun asked, "What good thing?"

Lei Ting said: "Have you heard of the National Youth Art Exhibition? This year's Youth Art Exhibition has already begun to accept manuscripts, and the deadline for submission is at the end of next month. Although it is an art exhibition for teenagers, it is still quite important in the domestic painting industry. I think you are absolutely capable of competing for a good ranking, and I would like to ask if you are interested in contributing?"

Xu Dongjun was stunned: "Huh?"

Lei Ting: "Huh? Your reaction...have you heard it?"

Xu Dongjun didn't answer her question: "I seriously doubt that you tapped the camera on me. I was just about to submit an article, and you called me to ask me."

Lei Ting smiled and said, "Hahaha..., this is what you call a heart-to-heart connection. Then I will wait for you to become famous, and for the self-portrait you drew for me to increase in value."

Xu Dongjun: "If you don't mind, I can draw you a hundred and eighty pictures, and you can keep them for your collection. I'll just charge you a friendly price."

Lei Ting: "You still want to take my money, I'm sad, but even if you don't take my money, I don't plan to take it. There are too many works, and they are worthless."

"That's true! Rare things are more expensive, not to mention that this thing is purely based on how it is hyped."

Lei Ting's words reminded Xu Dongjun.

If art is said to be priceless, then it is priceless; if it is said to be worthless, it is worthless, even if it is the works of a certain foreign painter.

So Xu Dongjun decided that even if his reputation spreads out and his paintings have value, he can't be like the donkey in the village and never stops.

It would be good to have a piece of work for one or several years.

"Almost forgot!"

Xu Dongjun suddenly remembered something, and asked Lei Ting, "Do you have something to do tomorrow?"

"It's okay. If there are no accidents, poor me will be at home all day." Lei Ting said.

Lei Ting, who is pitiful and coquettish, has a special style.

Xu Dongjun sent her an invitation: "That's just right, you can come to the store tomorrow, tomorrow I will be officially in charge of cooking, and then I will let you try my craft."

Lei Ting: "...Does the dog want to eat the food you cook?"

Xu Dongjun said angrily, "It was just an accident. Are you coming or not? Tell me a word."

Lei Ting: "Come! Be sure to come. I will order the first bowl of rice you serve."

"Okay! See you tomorrow then."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Dongjun turned on the computer, found some hyper-realistic paintings on the Internet and studied for a while.

He estimated that in a few days, he would be able to enter the threshold of hyper-realistic painting and start painting.

Turn off the computer and start reading.

The English dictionary he got from Lin Xiaomiao will be finished in a few days.Even now, he dares to say that some American guys don't know as many words as he does.

Once he reads the English dictionary, as long as it is not necessary, he does not want to touch the English book...

the next day.

Cooler weather.

Xu Dongjun got up for a run and found that the ground was wet. It had obviously rained last night.

After moving his body, Xu Dongjun ran around the community.With his current physique, he can run four or five laps around the community without panting.Speed ​​up, and you can even leave your peers behind.

After running, Xu Dongjun returned home.

Xu Wei and Tang Wenxiu had already woken up.

Tang Wenxiu was cooking breakfast in the kitchen, and Xu Wei was washing up in the bathroom.

After breakfast, Xu Dongjun went to the store with his father, while Tang Wenxiu stayed at home to take care of Xu Qianqian who hadn't woken up yet.

Normally, the store would sell noodles and other breakfasts in the morning, but because Xu Dongjun and his father came to the store late, they missed this meal perfectly.

Fortunately, no problem.

Xu Wei stepped forward to open the shutter door of the Happiness Restaurant, and together with Xu Dongjun, brought the vegetables and meat piled up at the door to the back kitchen.

Not long after, Mama Liu came to the shop.

Unexpectedly, Lei Ting also came so early.

Xu Dongjun subconsciously took out the mobile phone in his pocket and glanced at the time. It was only a little past nine o'clock, and he couldn't help complaining: "It's too early for you, isn't it?"

After Lei Ting said hello to Xu Wei, she smiled at Xu Dongjun and said, "I had nothing to do at home, so I took the subway here after breakfast and wanted to help."

Xu Dongjun: "It's okay to help, but we have agreed that there is no salary."

Lei Ting smiled and said, "Don't worry, you don't need salary, just take care of the meals."

"This is enough!"

Xu Dongjun was not polite at all, and immediately directed Lei Ting to do the work and clean up.

Although with the help of Liu Ma and Lei Ting, Xu Dongjun is still the main force in cleaning.

His superb cleaning ability came in handy at this moment, and Mama Liu praised him as a little expert in housework.

Although Lei Ting said that she was not afraid of getting dirty or tired, and had a generous temper, it could be seen from his clumsy hands and feet that the eldest lady had never done much housework.

"Tired? Drink some water."

After cleaning, Xu Dongjun took out a bottle of mineral water from the freezer and handed it to Lei Ting.

"Thank you!"

Lei Ting took the mineral water and sat on the chair to rest.

As for Liu Ma, she went into the kitchen to deal with the vegetables and meat that were delivered. For example, some leafy vegetables need to be removed with yellow and unwanted leaves, cowpeas need to be stemmed, potatoes need to be peeled...

"You said you are a young lady, why don't you lie down at home and come to my small shop to suffer? Are you full?" Xu Dongjun sat across from her.

"Why, Miss can't do housework anymore? Besides, I'm here, of course, for you." Lei Ting put the mineral water in her hand aside.

"You really don't hold back at all."

Xu Dongjun smiled.

Since Lei Ting is not shy, he doesn't feel any embarrassment: "Since you like doing housework so much, then come to the store to help more. From today onwards, I will basically be in the store for a long time. "

Lei Ting smiled and said, "Okay, but if I want to keep helping, I have to raise my salary."

Xu Dongjun: "Tell me."

Lei Ting suggested: "How about you go watch a movie with me when you have time?"

Xu Dongjun was surprised: "That's it? Okay! Even if you don't play tricks, I will agree to you. After all, if someone treats a guest to a movie, it doesn't cost money. Why not do it?"

Lei Ting gave him a charming look: "You should have said it earlier."

After a while, the dishes and meat were all processed, Mama Liu came out from the back kitchen, and Xu Wei stayed inside, ready to cook the duck.

"I'm going to help my dad get ducks, will you come?" Xu Dongjun stood up from the table and turned to Lei Ting and asked.

"Aren't you afraid that I will learn from you?"

Lei Ting said this, but she already stood up and followed him.

"It's fine if you learn it by stealing it, and I will directly detain you for a part-time job."

Xu Dongjun said something, took Lei Ting into the back kitchen, took the spoon from Xu Wei's hand, and started to stir-fry.
