At the beginning of November, the weather turned cold.
With the help of Xu Qing, Jiang He finally earned 100 yuan by relying on her own hands.
Then, she returned it to Xu Qing.
"Work hard, and you will earn more." Xu Qing felt a little embarrassed looking at her eager eyes.
You still have to return it, why are you looking at me like this?
"By the way, do you know how to cook?"
Seeing Jiang He staring at her WeChat account balance with regret, Xu Qing changed the topic and wanted to find something for her to do.
People are always greedy. At first, it was nice to have someone to talk to, but later, it became someone to help her cook …
This was to help Jiang He explore her talents in all aspects and see what she was suitable for, Xu Qing told himself.
Except for the fact that she had a high combat ability, which was useless in modern society, Jiang He was a real useless person. She must know something. As the saying goes, one skill is good enough to conquer the world.
As the saying goes, it is never a burden to have more skills.
Whether it was one skill or many skills, Jiang He didn't have either — she couldn't go out on the street and perform swallowing swords, splitting bricks, and breaking stones. It was not practical for a girl to be a bodyguard … Even if it was practical, he didn't have the connections to help her find such a job.
"I can cook porridge." Jiang He thought seriously and said, "I can also heat up leftovers."
"You can learn," Xu Qing said.
"Of course, I can learn."
Jiang He's face was full of expectation. "Do I have to learn how to cook?"
She instinctively felt that playing games was not reliable. Who would stay at home and play games every day … But cooking was different. Chefs were serious skills at all times.
"Uh … I'm asking you, do you want to learn?"
"Yes."
"Then wash the pot, I'll teach you how to fry potatoes."
Xu Qing looked at her watch and took Jiang He to the kitchen that had not been used for 800 years. After teaching her how to use detergent and steel wire balls, she left her in the kitchen and took the keys to go out to buy groceries, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar.
There was no reason why a girl couldn't learn how to cook. Once Jiang He mastered the art of cooking …
Even Xu Qing himself didn't know how to cook. He could only cook simple dishes such as shredded potatoes and scrambled eggs with tomatoes. As for the rest, Jiang He had to learn through practice.
There were no stir-frying dishes in the Tang Dynasty. They were mainly steaming, boiling, and roasting. There were also no more than half of the various seasonings. Jiang He only felt that it was delicious, but he didn't know how those various kinds of food were made. When he thought that he could learn to make such delicious food, he was full of energy.
"What did you buy?"
Seeing that Xu Qing had returned, she suppressed the excitement in her heart, dried her hands, and went to greet him.
"Potato … Oh, you don't seem to know. Quick, take the rice over. I'm so tired. "
Xu Qing rubbed his shoulder and thought to himself that he had made a mistake. He had not brought Jiang He along for this physical labor.
Potatoes, green peppers, and rice, along with bottles and cans of seasoning, amounted to dozens of catties. They had to change hands along the way before they could carry them back.
He was far inferior to a certain idiot …
"These are potatoes?"
Jiang He brought the vegetables back to the kitchen. He took out the black potatoes and looked at them curiously. He was puzzled and asked, "Is it delicious?"
"It's delicious, and this thing can be produced per mu … per mu … a lot." Xu Qing wanted to show off, but he couldn't remember the yield of potatoes. He was so tired that he was too lazy to go to Baidu. He casually said, "Anyway, it can be used as a vegetable or a grain, and it's very cheap. If you have this treasure in your country, famine will probably be very rare. It's a good omen."
He pointed to the paring knife in the bag, "I'll leave it to you. Wash it and peel it."
"Oh."
Jiang He obediently took the potatoes to the sink to wash them. He heard Xu Qing continue to say, "When you learn how to cook, cook and wash the dishes here. I'll pay you. One meal … I'll give you five yuan. How about it?"
"Really?!" Before Jiang He had time to be happy, he had already shook his head, "You eat and live your own. It's not good to charge you for helping me do some things."
Moreover, she was also eating with him. This was considered as cooking for her … It was unreasonable to charge her for it.
"Then take it as a reward to motivate you. Eating at home is always healthier than eating out. Learn quickly. "
"… I will."
Jiang He pursed his lips. He didn't know why he felt strange when he said the words "eating at home" — as if something was wrong, but he didn't find anything wrong after thinking about it carefully.
After washing the potatoes, Xu Qing had already steamed the rice. The wok and rice cooker were ready-made. Although they hadn't been used for a long time, they were just a little old. Jiang He didn't know whether it was because he was strong or because he was serious, but the wok and bowl were very clean. It was much better than what Xu Qing had expected.
"Now I have to cut it into shreds, like this …" Xu Qing held the kitchen knife and wanted to demonstrate, but suddenly he was stunned.
Beside him was a heroine who could jump on roofs and vault on walls. Did she need him to teach her how to cut potatoes?
"You do it." He put down the knife without hesitation. "Cut it into shreds, probably … Wait a minute, let me find it."
He took a picture of the shredded potatoes from Baidu and showed it to Jiang He. Xu Qing waited for her to perform.
Jiang He waved the kitchen knife twice and tried to cut the vegetables while saying, "I'm not used to it. Is it like this?"
"Yes, slice it first, then cut it into shreds."
Xu Qing was disappointed. The slicing didn't happen as he expected. Jiang He just did it more quickly.
"After cutting it, put it into the water. Use this basin to catch the water … I'll take a call and soak it for a while. I'll teach you how to do it when I come back."
Hearing his phone ringing, he took it out and took a look. Then he went out of the kitchen to answer the call.
"Mouse? What's up? "
"I'm calling you because there's nothing. If there's something, I'll be busy."
"…"
Xu Qing was almost led astray by this guy. "What's up?"
"Well … Nothing. I'm just bored." Qin Hao sat on his sofa, stroking the puppy next to him and staring at the TV. "Do you want to come out for skewers tonight?"
"No way. It's almost winter. How about tomorrow? I'll have hotpot with you tomorrow."
"Tsk, I have to go to work tomorrow …"
"Next time. Tell me in advance when you're free. I've cooked dinner today." Xu Qing refused. The rice could be saved for fried rice, but the potatoes had been cut. It would be a waste if he didn't eat them.
Besides, there was still Jiang He … If it was not necessary, he didn't want Jiang He to appear in front of Qin Hao in a short time.
"You can cook by yourself?" Qin Hao was surprised. When did this guy become so diligent?
"Hang up. I have to go cook … I didn't buy much food. Don't come here to freeload."
Xu Qing reminded him and hung up. If he didn't say anything, this guy might run over with a bowl and chopsticks.
This had happened before. The two of them each held a big bowl of instant noodles and slurped it on the sofa.
Jiang He was in the kitchen, tapping on his phone while paying attention to Xu Qing outside, in case he suddenly came in.
"Is it normal for a man and a woman to cook at home together?"
Baidu, search.
Looking at the answer, Jiang He fell into deep thought.
