Xie Tian ate a few biscuits under Ma Yangyang's eager eyes. Xie Tian ate very slowly. Ma Yangyang just sat there leaning on the back of the chair and looked at him with big round eyes, watching him eat continuously. He bought several pieces without asking if it was delicious. Every time he ate a piece, Ma Yangyang's smile would get bigger, which made Xie Tian couldn't help but eat one piece after another.
In the end, it was Ma Yangyang who shouted to stop, "Stop eating cookies, it's time for dinner."
Xie Tian originally planned to wait for him to come and go to a restaurant together, but after hearing what he said, he asked: "Are you hungry? Let's go then."
Ma Yangyang blinked and asked, "Where are we going?"
"Let's eat, and then go buy books."
Ma Yangyang tilted his head and asked, "Shouldn't we eat longevity noodles at home on our birthdays?" He regretted it as soon as he said this.
It stands to reason that even if the child's birthday is not a grand celebration, it should be a lively meal as a family, but there are no traces of other people in Xie Tian's family.
Sure enough, Xie Tian's eyes darkened when he heard this. Ma Yangyang really wanted to slap himself and talk nonsense about living a good life.
Ma Yangyang was extremely anxious and didn't know what to say to make up for it. He glanced at Xie Tian secretly, but his eyes met hiss.
Over the past year or so, Xie Tian has long been accustomed to this kind of desolation, and has experienced even colder ones. These are just like wearing less clothes in the cold winter. Although it is impossible not to feel it, it is not too big. Instead, it was Ma Yangyang's thoughts that concerned him more.
The two people's eyes collided and then quickly dispersed. Xie Tian paused and said, "I don't know how to cook, so why don't I eat cake."
Ma Yangyang stood up from the chair, rubbed his hands and said sheepishly, "I know how. Can I cook it for you?"
Xie Tian nodded, and suddenly remembered that his grandmother had been at his uncle's house for several days. He had been eating out these days, and there was probably nothing at home.
Seeing that he was in trouble, Ma Yangyang hurriedly said: "Well, if it's inconvenient, just eat the cake. It's the same with cake."
Xie Tian’s family does not have the habit of eating longevity noodles. In the past, they even ate cakes when they were with Meimei. After the accident at home, they even had to eat cakes. Now, not only did someone make cakes for his birthday, they also gave them to him. Cook longevity noodles and eat them. To be honest, just because he can get used to the cold doesn't mean he can refuse warmth, nor does it mean he doesn't want warmth.
He actually wanted to eat the noodles that Ma Yangyang cooked for him.
"There hasn't been a fire at home for a long time."
Only then did Ma Yangyang realize that he was not refusing, so he waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. I'll see what else is there first."
Xie Tian then took him to the kitchen. The refrigerator was indeed empty, but fortunately there were some noodles, a few eggs, and a piece of Chinese cabbage.
Ma Yangyang took out all the ingredients, shook the cabbage and said, "Actually, that's enough."
Xie Tian didn't know how to cook, but Ma Yangyang said it was OK, so he had to nod.
After washing the pot and boiling water, Ma Yangyang peeled off the outer leaves of the Chinese cabbage, leaving only the small half of the core inside. He also smiled and said to Xie Tian, "The cabbage core is quite tender."
One pot was used to cook noodles, the other pot was used to stir-fry hot and sour cabbage, and two eggs were fried.
After the noodles were cooked, another pot of boiling water was added with light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sesame oil and other seasonings. The hot soup was poured into the soup bowl containing the cooked noodles. Finally, sprinkled with calligraphy, and said in front of Xie Tian : "Sir, your Yangchun noodles are ready!"
His eyebrows were crooked and he looked particularly happy, and Xie Tian's mouth was also infected and the corners of his mouth rose: "It smells very good."
Ma Yangyang became even happier after receiving the praise, and filled up his own portion. Seeing Xie Tian take out all the food, he patted his head and let out a cry.
Xie Tian, who was in the living room, thought he had been burned, so he hurriedly ran in and pulled him and asked, "What's wrong? What's wrong? Are you burned?"
Ma Yangyang said: "No."
Seeing Xie Tian's anxious look, he explained: "I'm fine. I just suddenly remembered that I forgot to cook the most important thing."
Ma Yangyang pushed him and said, "You go out to eat noodles first. I will make it soon."
Xie Tian felt relieved now, but he didn't want to go out, "Waiting for you to eat together."
"You eat first, otherwise you'll be lumpy in the face."
Xie Tian looked at him and said, "Let's eat together."
Foul! Ma Yangyang howled in his heart, his hands couldn't help but tremble when he looked at him like this. Fortunately, he didn't blush easily, otherwise he wouldn't know how to explain it.
Ma Yangyang used all his strength to order himself to calm down, but the sight behind him really made it difficult for him to calm down. Fortunately, Chef Ma was very good at cooking and quickly cooked a round poached egg.
Put it in a small bowl, drizzle it with sesame oil, push the small bowl in front of Xie Tian, Ma Yangyang said with satisfaction: "Now it's complete."
"Why did you only cook one?"
"This is specially cooked for our birthday boy." Ma Yangyang put down his chopsticks, looked at Xie Tian sideways and said, "Eat this bowl of noodles and you will be safe this year. Then eat a poached egg and you will be round." All the best!”
Xie Tian felt a sore heart, his eyes were sore, and then his nose was also sore. He took several breaths to hold back the tears. Ma Yangyang's eyes turned red when he looked at him, and he felt a little at a loss. .
Xie Tian smiled with red eyes, "Thank you."
Ma Yangyang suddenly felt sad. He couldn't bear it as well as Xie Tian, and tears burst out of his eyes.
It's really useless. After getting to know Xie Tian, it becomes easier and easier to cry for some reason. Obviously, he rarely cried before. If Wang Yuelei was here, he wouldn't laugh out loud.
Xie Tian also panicked when he cried, but he himself was no better and didn't know where to start.
Boys of this age were sitting across from each other, one was crying uncontrollably, and the other had red eyes and nose. The situation was a bit embarrassing, so they had to bury their heads in eating noodles.
After eating half of it, Ma Yangyang finally stopped crying. Xie Tian thought for a while and said, "Actually, I'm very happy today, really."
Ma Yangyang looked up at him, and Xie Tian's hands were trembling slightly. His voice was dry, "I have never eaten longevity noodles, and I have eaten birthday cakes every two years."
Ma Yangyang's heart moved, and he stood up to get the cake.
Ma Yangyang opened the cake box. The cake was a simple chiffon cake with some fruits dotted on it. The small chocolate sign in the middle said "Happy birthday to Xie Tian!" At first glance, it belonged to Ma Yangyang. written.
Xie Tian stared at the cake motionless, and Ma Yangyang said a little embarrassedly: "My grandma taught me how to make it. It's quite simple, but it's not very good. Don't dislike it."
Xie Tian's head twitched again, and his eyes went back and forth between the cake and Ma Yangyang's face, "How could that be?"
The cake was made at home, and he forgot to prepare tools for cutting the cake. Ma Yangyang had to ask Xie Tian for a fruit knife to cut the cake. The plate on which the cake was placed was the large flower plate used by Xie Tian's family to serve vegetables.
Ma Yangyang placed the divided cake in front of Xie Tian. The Yangchun noodles in the soup bowl, the poached eggs in the small bowl, and the cake on the serving plate looked a bit funny. Ma Yangyang finally calmed down. When I got down, I felt embarrassed again for my impulsiveness, and whispered: "Why don't we just stop eating the cake first."
However, Xie Tian directly picked up a piece with chopsticks and ate it. There was still a bit of soy sauce smell on the chopsticks. It was weird mixed with cream, but it was also very similar to the mixed feelings in his heart at the moment. Those sour and bitter ones were all overwhelmed by the fragrance of cream. The slipperiness was submerged, leaving only the sweetness.
Xie Tian took a few bites of the cake, looked up and saw Ma Yangyang looking at him with a confused expression, and smiled at him: "Longevity noodles go well with cake. I ate everything I should eat for my birthday."
Ma Yangyang, who also had mixed feelings, suddenly felt relieved. Who cares, just make Xie Tian happy.
Eating noodles with cake is actually quite good.

Sorry, I promised daily updates, but ended up being interrupted for several days.
The temperature has been so weird recently. You must pay attention to your health. Don't get sick like me. Don't delay when you are sick. I just thought I had a cold, so I bought some medicine to take it, but the results have not been good. , I went to the hospital for a checkup and found out that I had bronchitis, so I didn’t update it for so many days. Sorry, there will be no double updates in the next few days. Double updates will not be resumed until around the 20th.
Then, eating cakes with noodles was something I did when I went to the hospital a few days ago. When I was waiting for the results after taking the X-rays that day, I went outside the hospital to find something to eat, but I wasn’t familiar with that area, so I had to find a random place. Beef Noodle House, and then the friend who accompanied me saw the cake shop next to it and said he wanted to eat it, so we bought an 8-inch fruit cake, and we finished eating the cake while eating noodles┑(￣Д￣)┍
