i was my mistake

Everyone is used to their male elders smoking at home, and they are also used to having a few cigarette butts in the ashtray.

Ye Chen took a bath while the girls were in the kitchen, but the kitchen was a bit lively right now.

Wan Qingming just slowly cut the dried tofu into strips, but Zhao Jinyu showed a look of admiration: "That's amazing!"

"...It's not difficult."

"But it's hard for me to cut things so evenly."

"Just slow down."

"Wan Qing, did you teach yourself how to cook?"

"Yes." Wan Qing didn't brag like she did in front of Ye Chen, but was very modest, "It's just a little knowledge, and the taste is not very good."

"It's already very powerful." Zhao Jinyu looked around in the kitchen, "I tried it a few times, but they all made a mess of the kitchen, and my mother won't let me in the kitchen."

"You can learn from the simple ones at the beginning."

"Then let me learn from you? You can also let me try in the future."

"it is good."

It's better to go back and do it again than to have no way to do it again.

At least you can see a different scenery than before.

Zhao Jinyu is still a girl with a pleasing personality, but she also has some areas that she is not good at, which adds a bit of realness and cuteness.

"What dish is this for?"

"Stir-fried bacon with tofu."

"Where are the potatoes here?" She pointed to the fresh potatoes covered in mud in the pool.

"Later make hot and sour potato shreds."

"Then I'll help peel the skin?"

"is it okay?"

"No problem—let me try?"

"...Then try it, remember to wash off the mud on the outside of the potatoes first."

"Ok!"

And when Wan Qing took time out to look at her during the frying, she found that the peeled potatoes were one-third smaller.

As we all know, the skin of potatoes is actually very thin...

……

23. Make progress

What elements are needed for a warm home in the public impression?

Mostly after returning home, you can hear the sound of pots, pans and pans colliding in the kitchen; the TV must be turned on, even if it is just an advertisement, the sound does not need to be too loud, as long as it seems to be nothing. ; It is best to look a little crowded, but the things placed around should not be messy, and it must be the feeling that someone often takes care of it.

According to this point of view, the house at this time is a warm home.

There are two cigarette butts in the ashtray, and my father is leaning on the sofa watching the sitcom "I Love My Family" aired in the evening, and the sound inside is noisy and extremely lively.

Ye Chen had just finished taking a shower, and was rubbing his shorts with the door closed—he couldn't put this thing in the washing machine and wash it together.

What he didn't know was that Wan Qing really did this when she was living alone.

Zhao Jinyu was padding his hands with two wet rags, and quickly brought out the freshly cooked soup.

The small dining table can seat up to four people, and there are three dishes on it: fried tofu with bacon, hot and sour potato shreds, and tofu mixed with shallots.

And the bowl she brought was the last dish—the tomato and egg soup with eggs that looked extra fluffy.

Simple and simple, but full of the warmth of home.

After all, ordinary people live frugally like this, spend slowly, and live slowly. If every day is full of fish, meat, and delicacies, it will make people lose the real sense of life.

"Dinner is ready! Where's Ye Chen?" Wan Qing directly took out the rice cooker and placed it on the cabinet next to the table.

"right away!"

"Hurry up, I'm hungry, I'll eat first!"

Then the rice cooker was turned on, white steam came out with the fragrance of rice, and the setting sun outside the window shone a little bright light. As soon as Ye Chen with wet hair came out of the bathroom, he flicked the switch and turned on the fluorescent light in the living room .

Its advantage is that it is bright enough, but Ye Chen always feels that it lacks the warmth of an incandescent lamp.

It's okay if there are people at home, but if there are no people, it will make the house even more deserted.

"Isn't Ye Chen's father coming to eat?" Zhao Jinyu asked suspiciously after taking the bowl Wan Qing handed her.

"He doesn't eat with us." Wan Qing said, using chopsticks to pick up a lot of food in the big bowl of rice, making it look like a rice bowl, "You're welcome, serve it yourself .”

"Eh? Okay." Zhao Jinyu was not used to being so casual when she came to someone's house for the first time. She picked up the plastic rice spoon and filled it shallowly, not even half of the small bowl was filled.

"Zhao Jinyu, is that enough for you?" Wan Qing said, and put the bowl of 'rice bowl' on the tea table in front of her father, then took a bigger bowl to cover it, and put the chopsticks aside. Don't urge him to eat quickly, as if his father hasn't come home yet, these are just meals for him.

"Enough is enough, I like to eat more dishes."

Wan Qing refused to comment, but was just thinking that she probably ate too much food at that time, and suddenly gained weight like blowing up a balloon, and then she couldn't lose weight at all.

Now she decided to learn good eating habits, so she only filled half of it in a small bowl.

——Although she usually doesn't eat much, at least a bowl of rice can be eaten.

Ye Chen directly hung his shorts on the small balcony of the bedroom, scratched his wet hair and walked over: "... Wan Qing, what are you doing, losing weight?"

"You don't care about me." She gave him a white look impatiently, "Don't eat so much, lest you get fat like a pig."

"Hey, if you don't have enough to eat, you won't have the energy to think."

"If you're too full and you say you're sleepy, I really don't know how many excuses you have."

"Cough!" Ye Chen wanted to refute, but he had to admit that he did say that before.

If you are full of sleep, he will say that you can’t lift your spirits if you sleep too much. If you sleep too little, he will say that you can’t concentrate due to lack of sleep. If you eat too much, you will say you are sleepy. If you eat too little, you will say that you can’t think. As long as you don’t want to study Sometimes, there are always excuses and reasons.

Wan Qing picked up the chopsticks, picked up a lot of potato shreds from the dinner plate boldly, and piled up her small bowl to the brim.

She glanced at Zhao Jinyu's chopsticks that were still resting on the bowl, and said with a hearty smile, "You're welcome, eat whatever you want!"

"Oh, it's neither sour nor spicy potato shreds again." Ye Chen sighed.

"It's good to eat something."

Ye Chen is used to her mother's speech: "But you have to improve a little bit anyway?"

"I think Wan Qing is already very powerful?" Zhao Jinyu opened her round almond eyes, not understanding why Ye Chen was picky and picky. She picked up a few potato shreds, which formed the same pattern as Wan Qing, who had just picked up a lot. In stark contrast, "Mmm -! Delicious."

"Really?" Ye Chen was half-doubtful, and only took a small amount.

If the previous hot and sour potato shreds always felt tasteless, or were either too sour or too spicy, then this time it is just right. You can taste the spicy taste first, and then the sour taste immediately relieves the spicy taste. The two flavors complement each other. They complement each other perfectly, and the potatoes themselves are quite crispy, not overcooked, and can make a crisp sound of 'clicking' in the mouth.

"How?" The corners of Wan Qing's mouth curled up slightly, and there was a bit of a smile in Dan Feng's raised eyes.

"...Delicious! Hey, how come the progress is so great all of a sudden? Could it be that this shredded potato was actually made by Zhao Jinyu?"

"No, no, I just helped peel the skin." Zhao Jinyu shook his head hastily, "It's all done by Wan Qing."

"Have you improved your cooking skills? Then it was so long ago... why didn't you improve?"

"I used to cook it for myself, of course I did it casually, and most of the time I ate out or ordered takeaway." She curled her lips, "In order to make your kid less talk nonsense, I also did some research, okay? "

"Cough...!" Ye Chen was a little embarrassed by her words, "Mmm - it's really delicious!"

The taste of today's dinner is not bad, of course, it has not reached the level of delicious food, but it is enough as a home-cooked dish.

Comparing the previous dishes with problematic proportions of seasonings, the contrast is even stronger.

Ye Chen ate two big bowls of rice in one go, and emptied the rest of the dishes, even the tomatoes in the tomato and egg soup.

Wan Qing originally wanted him to eat less, but she thought it would be a waste if she didn't finish it, so she didn't say anything, but silently picked up the leftovers, wrapped them in plastic wrap, and put them in the refrigerator.

——This thing can be used to make rice or fried rice tomorrow morning.

As for what to do, it depends on when you can get up from the bed.

In many cases, the alarm clock rings often does not mean that you can get up immediately.

The 5 to 10 minutes after the ringing of the bell always makes people feel that it is the shortest moment in life, or the most leisurely wandering:

It can be that the world goes dark and then suddenly lights up again, and it feels like a long time has passed just by closing your eyes, or it can be that you have several bizarre dreams in a row in just a few minutes.

Time always seems short and long during the struggle to wake up in the morning.

After eating, Ye Chen was busy tidying up the dishes and cleaning the kitchen.

"Wow, Wan Qing, your kitchen is too messy, isn't it?"

"what."

"The tiles are full of oil."

"Stir-fried dishes will definitely be like this. Don't you feel tired of stewing soup every day?"

"Uh... I always feel that the picture of you cooking is quite... frenzied."

"Stop talking nonsense, pack up quickly, and go to do your homework."

Although most of the teachers didn't have a serious class today, the homework was assigned.

After all, most of the knowledge has been learned, even if you don't take new classes, you can still do new questions.

Ye Chen is very familiar with the job and cleans very quickly. As for the quality... I can only say that most of the places are cleaned, but sometimes Wanqing has to do some blind spots by herself.

If you don't even see her, then pretend it doesn't exist.

After all, it's a place to live, so it can't be spotless.

Zhao Jinyu waited patiently for Ye Chen to finish cleaning, then got up and walked out of the house.

There are residents coming and going in the long corridor, some are leisurely, some are tired.

Zhao Jinyu put on his shoes carefully, as if he was about to go far away, but after taking a few steps, he arrived in front of his own house, and then took off his shoes carefully.

It is probably a sense of ritual that is unnecessary in the eyes of others, but must be done for oneself.

There is no difference in the layout of the apartment, except that Zhao Jinyu's residence is more girlish.

Although it has only been lived in for a short time, it has already been embellished with many things.

Plush bears and bows hang on the walls, and the bedding and blankets on the bed are all plain pink that is not common at this time.

——In this era, bed sheets and bedding with bright red and purple patterns are the most popular.

There is no trace of use in the kitchen, it seems that at most it has been boiled.

The living room is also much cooler than Wan Qing's place. There is a long table that seems to be used for eating Western food, taking up a lot of space, and the wooden chairs covered with iron are quietly placed. Although she is the only one living, there are four chairs. open.

There is a relatively simple dressing table in the corner of the living room, on which there are skin care products such as 'snow cream', 'hand cream', 'lip balm', and the only cosmetics are probably the lip gloss with some color.

Her side was facing the busy street, so it seemed a bit noisy, but she didn't mind, instead, she opened the windows to the maximum, and then closed the screens.

The noisy voice is the glitz of this world, but Wan Qing thinks it is good, she has a feeling that she has not been excluded by society.

——It’s good to be young, at least for a few years, you don’t have to worry about being eliminated by society.

Probably only old people would feel so sincerely.

"Sit down, please. Do you want to turn on the light or something else?"

"Ah? Is there any difference?" Ye Chen looked left and right, pulled away the chair beside Wan Qing, and sat down together.

Zhao Jinyu smiled with crooked eyebrows, and pointed to the fluorescent lamp above his head: "This is an ordinary lamp, and if you turn on the desk lamp, three people squeeze together to write, or - you can also use a projection ball."

Wan Qing took a look at the 'Bling Bling' thing hanging on the wall, which seemed to be taken down from a KTV, and grinned: "I can't see that thing clearly, it's better to use a fluorescent lamp to brighten the room." some."

"But my desk lamp is also very bright, try it?"

"Then...try?"

Like a child showing off a toy, Zhao Jinyu nodded vigorously, and quickly ran into her room - she went to take the lamp.
