my boyfriend is a chef

Chapter 5 Chickpea Flower

Opening the door, Sun Youchen looked at the familiar home, and became inexplicably sad again. Although his father was not waiting at home every day, knowing that people were always there made him feel warm and at ease. Now there will be no one waiting in this house When he came back, even the house was no longer his own, which couldn't help but be sentimental.

As if guessing what he was thinking, Xi Chuan gave him a push: "Hurry up and take a shower and sleep, you have to go to school tomorrow."

Sun Youchen turned his head to look at Xi Chuan, his nose suddenly became a little sore, how he wished Xi Chuan could be with him forever like his father, but unfortunately not, he is just a friend who sympathizes with him, and he will leave sooner or later.

After taking a shower, Sun Youchen lay on the bed, and saw Xi Chuan falling asleep with his head up on the sofa, and snored lightly because of his exhaustion.Sun Youchen bent down and stared at him for a while, Xi Chuan's dark circles were very heavy, it's been hard for him these days, without him, I really don't know what to do, he couldn't bear to wake him up, just like that Looking at him, my hands suddenly felt a little itchy, and I quickly took out the sketchbook and pencil from the coffee table, and sketched Xi Chuan's appearance, and then remembered the scene I saw in the kitchen of Zeng Bo's house today, and sketched that scene again out.After finishing the painting, he woke up Xi Chuan: "Brother Chuan, I've finished washing, you go take a bath."

Xi Chuan woke up with a dazed expression, and wiped his face with his hand: "Oh, good."

Sun Youchen said again: "Brother Chuan, the guest room is not cleaned up, you can sleep with me."

Xi Chuan nodded: "Okay, you go to bed first."

After taking a shower, Xi Chuan went into the bedroom, the bedside lamp was still on, and Sun Youchen was not asleep yet, but was looking at his mobile phone.Xi Chuan said, "What are you looking at? Go to bed early."

Sun Youchen raised his head and said, "I'm looking at the house. I want to know what kind of house I can rent with the money my dad gave me."

Xi Chuan raised his hand and rubbed his head: "Go to sleep, I'll find a house, you go to Linyin Middle School, right, I'll try to find a house closer to your school."

Sun Youchen lowered his head: "The houses in our school are not cheap."

Xi Chuan was noncommittal: "Turn off the lights and go to sleep, you have to go to school tomorrow."

Sun Youchen turned off the light, he opened his eyes wide, and there was darkness in front of him. He has been sleeping by himself since he was a child, thinking that he would not be able to fall asleep when someone was around him, but when he heard the shallow breathing sound coming from his ears, he seemed so peaceful and harmonious, which was inexplicable Peace of mind, his eyelids became heavy, and he slowly fell asleep.

Xi Chuan didn't fall asleep so quickly, he was covered with Sun Youchen's quilt, and there was an unfamiliar smell at the end of his nose, which smelled good, with a hint of milk in it, which reminded him of the word wet.He is thinking about his future plans. It is said that he should find a good job before looking for a house, but now he can't just take care of his own convenience, he must consider Sun Youchen's convenience, so he should look for a house first, and then find a job.It might be a bit more expensive for two people to rent a two-bedroom apartment, but the master has taught him so much, and now he has entrusted his son to himself, so he has to take good care of it no matter what.

Just as he was thinking, Sun Youchen beside him started to move. Immediately afterwards, his arms were hugged, Sun Youchen's head was pressed against his shoulder, and a leg was also placed on his own. He smiled, and then Remove the leg that is pressing on you.After a while, that leg got entangled again, Xi Chuan smiled helplessly, forget it, let him go, child who doesn't sleep well.

The next morning, Sun Youchen was woken up by Xi Chuan, who asked him to eat and go to school.Sun Youchen slept very soundly that night. In his dream, he no longer felt alone and helpless, as if he had companionship and support.When Xi Chuan woke him up, he thought it was his father. He opened his eyes and looked at Xi Chuan in a daze for a moment. Finally, he came back to his senses and realized that his father would never come back again. It's time to live with this person. He has no blood relationship with Xi Chuan, but he has to be taken care of by the other party. He must not cause trouble to him.

Sun Youchen didn't dare to stay in bed, and quickly got up to wash up. Seeing the steaming clear soup on the table, he looked up at Xi Chuan: "Brother Chuan, did you make it in the morning?"

Xi Chuan nodded: "Yes, go to school after eating. I'm going to find a house. You can eat outside at noon and night. Do you have any money?"

Sun Youchen nodded: "Yes. From now on, you don't have to get up early to make breakfast for me, I can eat it outside by myself." Xi Chuan got up early in the morning to do Chaoshou, and he had to work for at least an hour.

Xi Chuan said: "I can't eat out all three meals that day. I packed a lot of Chao Shou and dumplings and put them in the refrigerator. You can cook them in the morning. Today I'm going to look for a house and try to move at the end of the month. You Will you be off on Sunday?"

Sun Youchen nodded: "Let go." He is already in the third year of high school, the school is still humane, and he has a day off on Sunday. Now it is the most critical sprint stage. Everyone is hurrying to review. He is an art student, and the art test is over. Cultural achievements are not as demanding as ordinary candidates, but there are usually many missed classes, especially last year's training camp where I missed more than two months of classes, so I still need to study hard and sprint.In the past, Sun Youchen must have worked hard to study, but now he has no motivation. Compared with studying art, he thinks it is more reliable to learn to cook.

Xi Chuanyu said earnestly: "With so many zakats missing, go back to school and study hard, don't think about it. It is also Master's wish that you go to college. Listen to my brother, and you will not regret it if you study more." Sun Youchen went to Linyin Middle School. The best high school in Rongcheng and even in this province, Xi Chuan often heard his master boast about his son, saying that he will be admitted to Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts in the future. Although Xi Chuan doesn't know much about Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts, since he is from Tsinghua University, it must be the best.So when he heard Sun Youchen say that he should learn to cook instead of studying, he became anxious. Anyone who sees a seedling who can go to Tsinghua University will give up his studies will feel it is a pity.

Sun Youchen didn't speak, and ate Chao Shou silently. Xi Chuanbao's Chao Shou had thin skin, big stuffing, and clear soup with rich flavor. Eating a bowl of Chao Shou with warm clear soup on a cold morning would warm your heart.

After breakfast, Sun Youchen went out to go to school, while Xi Chuan had to go out late, because it was too early for house inspections, and the landlord might not wake up, so he had to collect information to prepare first.

After the accident at home, Sun Youchen never went to school again, and only called the head teacher to ask for leave. Naturally, the head teacher wouldn't say anything when this happened, and the teacher knew that he would become an orphan from then on, and even came to visit him he.Sun Youchen didn't want to go to school a little bit, he didn't want to look at the sympathetic eyes of his classmates, but he didn't have the capital to be willful, in his case, he was good at school.

When Sun Youchen appeared in the classroom, he really received the attention of his classmates. Sun Youchen is an art student, and he doesn't spend too much time with the classmates in the class, and he doesn't have too many friends. The students don't know how to express their hearts They all looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what to say.Until his tablemate Zhao Yao appeared and threw him a plastic bag: "Here we come. The egg baked cakes in Daxue Road are stuffed with millet pepper and pork skin. Eat while it's hot."

Sun Youchen turned his head to look at Zhao Yao and smiled slightly: "I have eaten it, thank you, you can eat it yourself."

"I reckon you should come today too. I brought it for you specially. If you're not hungry, you can save it for exercise during recess. Are you okay?" Zhao Yao bumped Sun Youchen's with his elbow as he spoke, revealing in his eyes Out of concern.

Sun Youchen nodded: "En."

Zhao Yao said: "Go to my house for lunch." He knew that Sun Youchen used to go home for dinner, but now that his father is gone, there is no one to cook for him.

Sun Youchen shook his head: "No need, I'll just buy some outside." The food in the school cafeteria is really unflattering, and there are so many people that it takes a long time to wait for a queue.

Zhao Yao said: "Why do you still see each other like that with me? Go to my house. Although my mother's skills are not as good as yours—a professional chef, the taste is still passable as home cooking." Zhao Yao knew that Sun Youchen's father used to run a restaurant , or super chef.

Sun Youchen didn't speak any more, but started the test papers that had been handed out in the past few days. He knew that everyone was kind, but this kindness was too much, and sometimes it would become a burden.I don't know when everyone will be able to look at themselves with a normal heart.After the homeroom teacher came, he also asked him to talk, saying that he was going to mobilize the teachers and students of the school to donate to him, but Sun Youchen immediately refused. The affairs of his own family are made public to win the sympathy of the teachers and students of the whole school.

At noon, Sun Youchen went to eat dan dan noodles in the small restaurant he often went to. There were too many people and there was no space. He didn't want to go back to the classroom to eat, so he took a plastic stool from the store and sat outside the store to eat.Sun Youchen is not picky about food, but it is difficult to change if he likes a taste, so Zhao Yao joked that he is a dedicated person.While eating, the phone vibrated, took it out to see, it was Xi Chuan calling, he picked it up: "Brother Chuan."

There was no sound on the phone, but Xi Chuan's voice sounded behind him: "Youchen, is it really you?"

Sun Youchen turned his head and saw Xi Chuan riding a moped parked under the sidewalk, he was surprised: "Why are you here?" He put away his phone and walked over with a bowl.

"Why are you sitting outside to eat? Is there no seat inside?" Xi Chuan looked at Sun Youchen who was holding a bowl, feeling sad for no reason, although many children ate like this.

"It's full, no seats available."

Xi Chuan said: "You won't change, isn't there a vacant seat next to you?"

Sun Youchen smiled: "That one doesn't taste good. Brother Chuan, why are you here, are you looking for me?"

"No, I'm looking at the house here. I just saw it, and I was about to go back. I passed by here, and I happened to see you." Xi Chuan felt a little sorry for Master, who didn't take good care of his younger brother.

"Are you looking forward to it?" Sun Youchen felt that it was nothing, because he was used to it, and everyone was like this.

Xi Chuan said happily: "Look, the environment is good, the house is relatively clean, and it's very close to your school. I plan to come and have a look at it in the evening. If possible, I will rent this place."

Sun Youchen also felt happy when he heard it: "Okay. Why do you want to watch it at night?"

Xi Chuan said: "Xiao Bo said it's best to come and see if there's any noise at night. You're in your third year of high school, so you need to have a good rest."

When Sun Youchen heard this starting point, he was thinking about himself everywhere, and something in his chest was full: "Okay. How much is the rent?"

"Don't worry about the rent. You can eat first, and I'll show you after I rent the house. What else do you want to eat? I'll buy it for you."

"No, this is enough for me. Brother Chuan, have you eaten?"

"No, I plan to go back to eat. I'll bring you food tonight." Seeing Sun Youchen eating noodles with the cold wind blowing on the street, he always felt a little uncomfortable. several times.

"no need."

"You finish class at [-]:[-], right? I'll call you then." Xi Chuan rode away after speaking.

Looking at Xi Chuan's back, Sun Youchen suddenly felt that he should be a lucky person. Although he had no relatives, there was still someone who cared and loved him so much.

In the evening, Xi Chuan really brought food to Sun Youchen. Xi Chuan said, "Can I take it to the classroom to eat? If you can't, go to the cafeteria to eat. There should be seats?"

Sun Youchen bit his lower lip and nodded: "You can take it to the classroom to eat, thank you Brother Chuan!"

Xi Chuan smiled slightly: "Then go eat, be careful not to spill it, there is soup in it. I'm leaving, remember to bring the lunch box back tonight."

"Well, Brother Chuan, be careful on the road." Sun Youchen was holding the heavy insulated lunch box. He didn't ask Xi Chuan what dishes he cooked, but they must all be delicious.

As soon as Sun Youchen's lunch box was opened, it was immediately fragrant. It was chickpea curd and dry roast beef slices, and it was still hot. The students who ate fast food and dry food in the classroom immediately sniffed and followed the smell. , his tablemate Zhao Yao came over: "Wow, what are you eating, it's so delicious!"

Sun Youchen raised the corner of his mouth: "Chicken bean curd and dry roast beef."

"Wow, chickpea curd! I've eaten it in a restaurant, it's very fresh, can I try it?" Zhao Yao looked greedy, staring straight at Sun Youchen's lunch box, like a cat that has seen a fish.

Chickpea curd is actually not related to bean curd. It is made by removing the fascia from chicken breast, adding starch, egg white, etc., and stirring it into a slurry. Put cabbage heart at the bottom of the bowl, sprinkle with a little ham, and the fresh and delicious chicken tofu flower is ready. Because it looks like tofu flower, it is named chicken tofu flower. It is a traditional dish in Sichuan cuisine.This dish seems simple, but it is a test of skill to succeed. It does not belong to the category of home cooking, so ordinary families do not know how to cook it.

Sun Youchen took a bite of chickpea curd first, and the chicken broth melted in his mouth like tofu. Only one bite."

Zhao Yao took his own spoon, licked his lips, dug a full spoonful in the envy of everyone, then quickly stuffed it into his mouth, and then maintained the half-raised posture without moving for a long time, just like petrification. As if choking, the other students looked at him, and one said, "He won't be choking, right?"

Zhao Yao coughed fiercely and licked the corner of his mouth: "Oh my god, I swallowed it all, I haven't tasted anything yet. Let me have another bite, Youyou." I am very envious, Sun Youchen is not familiar with most of the students in the class, so everyone is embarrassed to ask for food, and can only look at Zhao Yao with envy and hatred.

Sun Youchen lowered his head to eat his own meal: "No, I don't have enough myself, I haven't finished my meal yet."

A sly look appeared on Zhao Yao's face, and he was ready to attack with a spoon, but Sun Youchen's next move was to pour chickpea curd directly into the rice. Although it was a pity, at least he would not be coveted again.Zhao Yao let out a "wow": "Youyou are so cruel, give me a piece of beef!"

Sun Youchen glanced at him: "Only one piece."

So classmate Zhao Yao is no longer as bored as before. He gritted his teeth and tasted it a little bit: "It's so delicious, Youyou, who made it for you?"

Sun Youchen rolled his eyes at him: "My brother."

Zhao Yao's eyes widened: "Since when did you have a brother?"

Sun Youchen didn't hide it either: "My father's apprentice, my senior brother."

Zhao Yao leaned his head on Sun Youchen's shoulder: "Youyou, you are so happy. Can you ask your elder brother to accept his younger brother?"

Sun Youchen laughed: "Damn it, don't even think about it!" This was the first time in so many days that he felt inexplicably comfortable.
