Xinman's Collection

Chapter 1

The weather was quite hot, and Xin Man dragged large and small luggage by himself, and finally found this high-end residential area, but was stopped by the door guard.

"Sorry, if you can't get in touch with someone, you can't get in."

The young man in front of him looked fair and tender, with short sleeves and long trousers. He looked like he belonged to the well-behaved group. Therefore, even if there was no proof, the guard's words were much gentler.

"I can't get through the phone, can I wait here?"

Xin Man put down his backpack, which was full of books and was very heavy. He put the backpack on the suitcase and pushed it aside.

The doorman nodded, and took a good look at the situation. After the boy unloaded his backpack, he was still carrying a black painting tube. Besides the suitcase, there was also a small hand-held box beside him. Don't know how he got it.

"How's it going, have you got in touch?" Seeing that the boy was still fiddling with his phone with his head down, the doorman walked over and asked.

"not yet……"

Xin Man raised his head and smiled embarrassingly. He didn't know what was going on today. He couldn't get in touch with anyone he wanted to contact. He had been unlucky since he got on the bus. He was motion sick and unfamiliar with the road. money.

The doorman seemed to have a good temper, and said with a smile, "How tall is the young man?"

Xin Man was stunned, raised his hand and scratched his face, and said, "I've graduated from college, I'm in my 20s."

The uncle looked surprised, "It's not like, you look too small, like a high school student."

Xin Man could only smile and didn't know what to say. He had a baby face. Every time he came home from vacation, those seven aunts and eight aunts who hadn't seen him for a long time always thought that he hadn't graduated from high school, and asked them one by one to find out. Already a college student, the worst time was when someone opened his mouth and said, Yo, junior high school students are so mature now.

Xin Man was speechless. He didn't expect Du to be considered a high school student after graduating from university.

The doorman was a little curious, looking at the painting tube he was carrying, "The young man is an art student? Are there any relatives living here?"

Xin Man touched the painting tube and said, "I studied interior design."

As for the person he was looking for inside, he was neither a relative nor an acquaintance. He heard from his sister that he was a university professor. Thinking of her sister's repeated instructions before coming here, Xin Man was a little dazed. At this moment, the cell phone that had been silent for a while also rang.

"Hey, ma'am."

Seeing the caller ID, Xin Man quickly picked up the phone to answer it.

"It's full." The voice of my sister Xin Xin came from the other end of the phone, "I was busy with a meeting just now, and my phone was on silent, so I didn't see your message. How are you? Are you there yet?"

"It's here, but there is no proof that you can't get in." Xin Man replied.

"Don't worry, wait a little longer, my sister will call Teacher Tantai later." Xin Xin comforted her, and then whispered, "Do you remember what my sister told you before?"

Xin Man nodded, then realized that her sister couldn't see it, and said, "Remember."

Xin Xin said, "Then repeat it to me again."

Xin Man: "..."

The doorman next to him stared at him curiously. Xin Man turned his back in embarrassment, and whispered into the phone, "Don't talk to Teacher Tantai, and don't keep asking why. Don't move things around the house, especially books. When you see any one, don’t pick it up curiously, and most importantly, don’t go up to the third floor.”

Xin Xin nodded in satisfaction, and chattered a few more words.

Xin Mandu gave him a gentle grace, his eyebrows and eyes were gentle and cute, no wonder others said he looked young.

"Okay, I'll call Teacher Tantai right now, just wait a little longer."

Teacher Tantai's phone number is very personal, and without permission, Xin Xin did not tell Xin Man the phone number.

"Okay." Xin Man hung up the phone, looking at the phone screen but lost in thought.

He thought about why he came here.

After graduating from university, Xin Man wanted to start the postgraduate entrance examination. It should be said that it was World War II. He took the entrance examination once in college, but unfortunately he failed.

Xin Man thinks that his parents should have put all their smart points on his older sister. Since childhood, his older sister is someone else’s child. She studies well, looks pretty, and is smart. Before she graduated from university, she earned money to study abroad. , The whole process did not cost parents a penny.

But on the other hand, he is an ordinary kid who has been going to elementary school, junior high school, and high school in a regular manner.I didn’t get the hang of it in high school and didn’t do well in my studies. Later, I was admitted to university in the art test. I majored in environmental design and specialized in interior design. I finally found something I like.

Since he likes it, he wants to work harder, but he failed the English and professional courses for the first time in the postgraduate entrance examination, and after graduating from university, he wanted to go directly to find a job, but his sister took him to have a heart-to-heart talk and let him do what he wanted Things, in the end, he still decided WWII once.

As for why you came here?

There are too many bad things to study at home, and even Xin Xin feels impatient for Xin Man. At this time, the nanny at Tantai Fo's family was fired again after not working for a full month, and his brother-in-law thought of letting him come here. I only need to be responsible for daily cleaning and cooking, not to mention living for free, and there are teachers to help with homework, which is really convenient.

The most important point is that the university he yearns for is in this city.

Just as he was lost in thought, the guard next to him touched his arm, "Hey, young man, did the person who walked over pick you up?"

Xin Man raised his head and looked. The figure walking over was wearing a simple white shirt and black pants. He was tall and walking slowly. In this hot weather, it was like a cool wind slowly approaching.

"It turns out... so it's Teacher Tantai."

Xin Man heard the muttering of the doorman next to him, his tone was a bit strange, he didn't look back, his eyes were all occupied by the figure walking in.

The person in front of him looked pale, his pupils were lighter in color, and he looked a little indifferent. His appearance was handsome and gentle, and the outline of his face was perfect and impeccable. He was better looking than anyone Xin Man had ever seen.

Xin Man's ears were a little red, and he watched him walk in front of her, and asked in a magnetic and low voice, "Xin Man?"

Xin Man tightened the tape of the painting tube, stuttering, "Mm, yes, I am Xin Man."

Tantai Buddha nodded lightly, and after seeing Xin Man in his eyes, he pulled his suitcase and turned around, "Follow me."

"Good, good."

Xin Man bent down to pick up the small box, trotting behind, helplessly, Teacher Tantai's long legs walked too fast.

Watching the two walk away, the guard left behind muttered with a strange expression, "This young man is actually a relative of Teacher Tantai? Strange..."

The residential areas here are all high-end villas, surrounded by gardens, etc. Xin Man trotted behind for a few minutes, and finally arrived at Tantai Buddha's house.

He followed his sister's warning all the way, not to be verbose, so he kept his mouth shut all the time, and when Tantai Buddha looked back at him, he saw Xin Man with puffy cheeks, as if he was holding his breath.

Tantai Buddha: "... Come in."

Xin Man nodded and followed behind.

This villa has a small yard, but there is nothing around it except grass. It seems that the owner doesn't want to bother with it at all. Xin Man blinked his eyes and saw that his home is also the most minimalist layout.

Black and white tones, although elegantly furnished, appear deserted.

Xin Man likes interior design, and often looks at various styles of interior design. Compared with this style, he still prefers warm ones, but this one is also very beautiful.

"Your room is on the second floor." After Xin Man changed his shoes, Tantai Fo carried his luggage and planned to go upstairs.

"Tan...Teacher Tantai, I'll do it myself." Xin Man said shyly.

Tantai Fo looked at him with cold eyes, shook his head and said, "No need."

After speaking, he went upstairs with his luggage.

Because he is a friend's brother-in-law, Tantai Buddha's attitude is much better, and a big boy like Xin Man who looks thin and thin will not make people disgusted.

But Tantai Buddha also gave him the luggage at the door, and then went back to the study, saying that he would come out at lunch time.

"Teacher Tantai, what would you like to eat for lunch?" Before leaving, Xin Man called out to him with a blushing face.

For Tantai Buddha, Xin Man held a state of awe. He heard from Xin Xin that he not only obtained several doctorates, but also won many awards abroad. He seemed to be a very special person.

Tantai Buddha's expression was indifferent, "Whatever you want."

He doesn't have much appetite, and the meals cooked by the nanny usually don't suit his appetite, so he might as well eat some bread and drink coffee.

Xin Man nodded grumpily, and after seeing him leave, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Getting along with Teacher Tantai is really stressful..."

After quickly packing up his things, Xin Man rolled up his sleeves and went to the kitchen.

"It's so clean!"

Although all kinds of kitchen utensils were complete, it was as if they had never been used. Xin Man opened the refrigerator and took a look. Fortunately, there were vegetables in it, so there was no need to go out to buy them.

I don't know what Teacher Tantai likes to eat, so Xin Man decided to make pasta. After all, Nanmi is north, and eating pasta should be more used to it.

He kneaded the noodles and put them aside to wake up. He took out the meat from the refrigerator, rubbed the pork belly in a hot pan to remove the pig hair, and took it out after the skin was roasted until it was browned, and then put it in water. Cook it for about 10 minutes. During the cooking time, Xinman took another pot and boiled a few eggs.

After the pork belly is cooked, wait until it cools down, then cut it into small pieces about two centimeters square. Xinman’s method is a little different. He likes to put boiled eggs in the braised pork, and wait until the meat is fried. It is a low heat and slow cooker. At this time, put in the eggs and wait for the fire to collect the juice. The taste of the eggs is even more delicious.

There are also bean sprouts and potatoes in the refrigerator. Cut the potatoes into thin shreds and blanch them together with the bean sprouts. After taking them out, add salt and stir-fry them slowly for a few minutes, then add the prepared sauce.

During the slow-cooking of braised pork, Xinman added oil to the awakened noodles, rolled them up and folded several layers, and then pulled them into small doughs. No need to put oil in the pot, just flatten the noodles and put them in, and wait for the noodles to gradually After it bulges, turn it over. This kind of noodle cake is very soft.

The braised pork was stewed with a gurgling sound, and the domineering aroma first permeated the kitchen, and then began to spread to the villa, even Tantai Buddha who was reading in the study could smell a little bit.

His study is on the second floor, and it is usually used for office work. Once he starts to work, unless someone knocks on the door, he will immerse himself in it all the time. It was a surprise today. When he looked at it, he smelled a scent that seemed to be absent. Tantai Buddha moved his fingers, put the pen on the table, got up and went out.

Xin Man was in the kitchen opening his mouth to the cooked pancakes one by one, when he heard someone from behind asking what it was, he almost cut his fingers in fright.

Xin Man held the knife for a moment, looked at the white and tender pancakes under his hand, "This is the pancake."

"Open the cake?" Tantai Buddha looked puzzled, he had never heard of this name.

Xin Man said embarrassingly, "I called it casually. I opened a hole in the cake and used it to hold vegetables, just like buns." It's just that he is not a bun, so he named it casually.

A few pancakes were already set up on the plate next to it, Tantai Buddha said, I'll take them out for you, glanced at the pot that was still stewing meat, and left the kitchen.

Xin Man was a little puzzled. Teacher Xindao Tantai's meal order was quite accurate, and the braised pork just came out of the pot.

"This is a side dish, and there are braised meat and eggs. It's delicious to eat with pancakes." Xin Man brought out all the dishes, and brought out a large pot of soup, "Laver soup, Teacher Tantai, let me serve you a bowl .”

"Thank you." Tantai Buddha handed the bowl to Xin Man, his eyes moved from the braised pork to the pancakes.

Tantai Buddha didn't move, and Xin Man couldn't eat with chopsticks first. For a while, the two of them faced a table of dishes and were relatively speechless.

After a while, Tantai Buddha rested his slender fingers on the side of the bowl, looked at Xin Man, "...you eat."

Xin Man let out an oh, and almost blushed again when he met Tantai Buddha's cold eyes, quickly picked up the cake, put side dishes and meat in it, and after he moved, Tantai Buddha also moved, if Xin Man Watching him from time to time, you can find that the order in which he picks up vegetables is exactly the same as his.

"Well, it's delicious." Ke Xinman narrowed his eyes happily now, and only saw meat in his eyes.

The braised pork is stewed crystal clear, the juice tastes sweet and melts in the mouth, coupled with the refreshing side dishes and soft cakes, it is simply delicious.

While Xin Man was still eating the first cake with relish, Tantai Fo had already gone to get the second one.

This meal was good, Tantai Buddha was a bit picky, coupled with his whole body temperament, he was as cold as a fairy who didn't eat the fireworks of the world, and the previous nanny was very jealous of him, thinking that he came back from a foreign country I am not used to Chinese food, so I choose Western food, but the food I make is neither fish nor fowl.

The nanny didn't dare to approach him, and didn't dare to ask him what he likes to eat. Although Tantai Buddha himself is picky, he doesn't care about his appetite. I was worried, but Tantai Buddha could see it clearly, so after returning to China, the nanny did not know how many times he changed.

Until Xinman's brother-in-law stuffed him in.

That is to say, Xin Man is stupid and only sees the fairy spirit on the surface of the person, saying that he really cooked some home-cooked dishes casually, thanks to his good craftsmanship, which suits Tantai Buddha's appetite, if his brother-in-law finds out, he must He was heartbroken and blamed himself for not explaining clearly to Xin Man, making him feel like a puppy, and took the initiative to send the big devil to the door.
