Chapter 211 The Dowry
Chapter 211 The Dowry
Xiaolan swallowed her throat and stepped back to stir-fry.
She had just seen from Xu Fanghuai's actions that this man had never cooked before and had no experience at all.
Anyway, there is still some time before dinner, so just let him be.
Xu Fanghuai's operation was as fierce as a tiger's, and towards the end it became more and more strange. How could a good piece of noodles fall apart...
In the end, the man's face was lost to his thirst for knowledge. He lowered his head and asked in a low voice: "Well... what should I do if the dough falls apart?"
Although the voice was low, it was still heard by Ma Qinqin. She couldn't bear to recognize it anymore, and burst into bursts of laughter.
Xiaolan also felt embarrassed and blushed. She stepped forward and kneaded the dough together again. She picked up the rolling pin and lowered her forehead while demonstrating to the man.
"Look, it's like this. First roll the dough in a circle, flatten it slightly, then fold one corner of the dough over and place it on the rolling pin, rolling it while rolling it."
She explained very carefully, and her hand movements did not stop.
The man stood nearby, staring down at the woman's profile under the light. The pink color on the tip of her nose spread along the profile to her earlobes. The man was stunned for a moment.
In the end, even he himself didn't know whether he was watching how to roll out noodles or looking at the woman's delicate profile.
An impulse surged through him now.
kiss her!
The man was thinking this, and unknowingly, his head slowly lowered, and his movements were so subtle that he was not even aware of it.
The woman feels that she has almost demonstrated it and the man can get started.
"Okay, you try it."
After finishing her words, the woman raised her head.
The moment they raised their heads, their noses touched.
In an instant, the two people who had just performed their duties turned pale with embarrassment.
"Well, you two are busy first. I'm going to see if Grandma Liu is here."
Ma Qinqin said these words and opened the door and went out.
She had been eating dog food for a while, and now she urgently needed the northwest wind outside to slap her face to wake her up.
Now there were only two of them left in the room. Apart from their deep and shallow breathing, there was only the occasional crackling sound of firewood in the stove.
Xiaolan was so embarrassed that she took a step back and let Xu Fanghuai step forward to roll out the dough.
He went to add water to the pot and bent down to add firewood to the pit.
Xu Fanghuai imitated Xiaolan's example, picked up the rolling pin and placed it on the dough, folded a piece of dough and put it on the rolling pin, rolling it while rolling it.
The atmosphere in the room was very tense. After a while, Xu Fanghuai slowly spoke.
"Xiaolan, I have something to ask you."
Xiaolan replied to him subconsciously: "Huh?"
"Just...just how much does your family's bride price cost?"
"Ah?" Xiaolan was startled when the man suddenly helped her up.
Accidentally, a spark jumped out of the stove pit and landed on his hand, causing him to scream in pain.
Xu Fanghuai hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the woman's hand in his, exhaled gently, and said in a panic: "Why are you so careless?"
Xiaolan watched the man exhale nervously, swallowed his throat, and suddenly smelled the smell of burnt wool on the tip of his nose.
The next second, the woman exclaimed behind the man: "Xu! Xu Fanghuai! Your back is burning!"
Xu Fanghuai was stunned. He felt that his back was only warmed by the fire. Unexpectedly, it was getting hotter and hotter, and the burning pain on his skin was unbearable.
After being reminded by the woman, I realized that I had just blown my hands to the woman out of desperation and was squatting too close to the stove pit. A branch that fell out of the stove pit set my sweater on fire.
The pure wool sweater was quickly ignited by sparks and smelled like burnt fur.
Suddenly, the small kitchen was in chaos. In desperation, Xiaolan picked up the rag on the noodle table and helped Xu Fanghuai put out the sparks.
Unexpectedly, the rag on the noodle table has been in contact with flour for a long time and has become dry. With the blessing of flour, the rag can be ignited when it encounters a flame.
Instead of extinguishing the flames on Xu Fanghuai's body, it intensified. In just a few seconds, the shirt inside was burned through.
This time, Xiaolan was completely panicked.
Xu Fanghuai was in unbearable pain and rushed to the faucet to put out the fire on his body.
Seeing that the man's back couldn't reach the water, Xiaolan quickly grabbed the water basin next to her, raised it high and splashed it on the man's back.
Whoa!
The biting cold water followed the woman's strength and poured all over the man.
In the next second, the man changed from a burning vajra to a drowned rat.
Standing there soaked all over, the sweater on the back was missing a big hole and white smoke was coming out.
Xiaolan really couldn't bear to see the man in such miserable condition, so she took off her coat and put it on the man.
Xu Fanghuai didn't want it, but just as he was about to refuse, he sneezed out of guard.
He was just hit by Ma Qinqin who entered the door.
For a moment, the two of them stood there awkwardly and at a loss...
Ma Qinqin was also shocked. She just saw the two of them coming out now, and wanted to come over and hurry up the noodles to see when they could eat.
Unexpectedly, when they entered the door, they saw Xu Fanghuai who was like a drowned rat and Xiaolan who was in a panic.
He was frozen in place for a while, and then he said awkwardly after a while: "What's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing. I was accidentally burned by fire just now. Fortunately, Xiaolan helped me put out the fire in time... Ah Sneeze!"
Xu Fanghuai, who was already soaked all over, was stimulated by the cold wind that Ma Qinqin brought in and started sneezing constantly.
Looking at this, there is no hope for making hand-made noodles.
Xu Fanghuai also didn't expect that he finally wanted to show off his skills in front of a woman, but he was met with misfortune...
In the end, Xiaolan did the hand-rolling of the dough, but the good thing is that Xu Fanghuai did most of the physical work of rolling the dough. Xiaolan simply rolled it a few times to adjust the flatness, then cut it into thin strips and cooked it in the pot. .
Xie Yanqiu found two new clothes that Zhou Qi had not worn and gave them to Xu Fanghuai to change into.
Fortunately, there is not much difference in body shape between the two of them, so Xu Fanghuai wears Zhou Qi's clothes without much violation.
While eating, facing a table of Xiaolan's cooking, Xu Fanghuai could hardly hide the happiness on his face.
Xie Yanqiu even doubted that if Xu Fanghuai was given a dog's tail now, he could shake it from tonight to tomorrow.
"Brother, the fried celery I ate tonight is the most delicious fried celery I have eaten in the past 20 years."
Ma Qinqin coughed twice as a reminder: "I fried the celery."
Xu Fanghuai: “…………”
He turned his head closer to Xiaolan and said in a very low voice: "Which dish did you cook?"
Xiaolan almost spat out the noodles she just put into her mouth because of the man's words.Pointing to the garlic sprouts next to him, he said in a very soft voice: "This."
The next second, the man's self-confidence that had just fallen behind regained his strength again. He picked up a garlic sprout and said proudly: "Brother, let me tell you, this garlic sprout is the most delicious garlic sprout I have ever eaten in my life."
As he spoke, he chewed slowly.
