Part One: Intertwined Time and Space Chapter One: Daily Life
Section 10 Chang Yueqing’s cooking skills
The next morning, Yue Qing was woken up by snowflakes. Xuehua shook Yueqing's quilt and shouted in her ear before calling her up.
"Yueqing, Yueqing, get up quickly, what time is it?" Xuehua called.
"Well!" Yue Qingchuang suddenly woke up, "Oh my God, what time is it?"
"It's past ten o'clock, we can really sleep, and I just woke up. It seems that you were really tired yesterday, and I have been calling you for a long time." Xuehua complained.
"Oh my God, I overslept and didn't have time to make breakfast. Let's just make lunch." Yue Qing said.
"But, what are you going to eat in the morning? I'm hungry." Xuehua pouted.
Yue Qing glanced at her: "You are a snack."
"Huh huh huh." Xue Hua smiled at Yue Qing.
"Okay, let's make something simple. I saw there were sweet potatoes yesterday, so let's cook some sweet potato porridge. Then mix some cold vegetables and heat up two steamed buns." Yue Qing looked at Xue Hua and said with a smile.
"Yeah." Xuehua nodded vigorously.
"Get up now and wash up." As she said that, Yue Qing quickly got up.
. . . . . .
Xue Hua has been helping in the kitchen during the morning meal for the two of them.
Looking at Yue Qing peeling sweet potatoes, she didn't know what to do: "What should I do?"
"Wash the rice and black rice, wash the red dates, raisins and peanuts. Then pour water into the rice cooker." Yueqing said.
"Okay." Xuehua turned around and went to work.
Yueqing finished washing the sweet potatoes and cut them into thin pieces. I heard Xuehua asking: "Yueqing, how much water should I pour?"
"You can pour it as you please. If it's not enough, I'll make up for it." Yue Qing replied.
"Okay." There was a sound of collecting water.
Yue Qing put the cut and washed sweet potatoes into the pot. Seeing that Xue Hua had poured enough water, she sat down on the grate, placed two steamed buns, closed the lid, and turned on the power to start cooking.
"Is it enough to just cook it like this? How long should it take to cook?" Xuehua asked standing behind.
"As long as the sweet potatoes are rotten, just add some batter at the end."
For cold dishes, I patted some cucumbers, soaked some vermicelli, and cut some green and red peppers into shreds. Then I mixed the cold sauce and finished it.
"Let's go, let's watch TV with you and wait for the porridge to be cooked." Yue Qing finished packing and said to Xue Hua.
"Wow, Yue Qing, it's so easy every time I see you cooking." Xuehua said strangely.
"It's not difficult in the first place. Just do it as long as it suits your taste." Yue Qing said with a smile, then took the lead and walked to the living room.
Yue Qing sat on the sofa and put her legs straight on the sofa, occupying half of the position. Snowflake came over and sat down on the other side, crossing her legs.
"What are you watching?" Xuehua turned on the TV.
"Whatever, I'll watch it with you. You can watch whatever you want. I definitely want to watch anime with you when I come here. I'm ready. I'll spend the whole day with you today." Every time Yueqing is with Xuehua, Xuehua Will let her watch anime together. She also wanted to have someone to share her feelings with. Although Zeng Shuai supported her watching anime, he basically wouldn't watch it with him. Every time he turned on it and couldn't watch it for ten minutes, he would check his phone.
"Well, which one is the Twelve Kingdoms or Natsume's Book of Friends? Let's watch Celestial Girl." Snowflake suggested.
"Look." Yue Qing raised her head and motioned to her. She lay on the sofa in a comfortable position and turned her eyes to the TV.
Snowflake turned on the TV video and found the place where he saw it. "I've watched this several times, and let me tell you, I particularly like Kuinza, even though he is a bad guy." Xuehua had already begun to introduce him.
Yue Qing looked at the figure pointed by Xue Hua, smiled and said nothing, not recognizing him. Snowflake began to watch anime seriously and quietly.
After a while, Yue Qing went to the kitchen and tilted the grate to continue cooking the porridge. In about half an hour, the meal was ready. Yueqing quickly called out to Xuehua: "Xuehua, please stop now and come over to eat."
"Okay." Xuehua hurried over.
By this time, the cold dishes were already very tasty. Xuehua and Yueqing set the meal together and started eating.
"Wow, it's delicious. The soup is so sweet, and the cold dishes are very appetizing. Yueqing, you are so awesome." Xuehua said while eating.
"Okay, let's eat. After eating, we can prepare the ingredients for lunch." Yue Qing said.

After the meal, Xuehua went to wash the dishes. Yueqing rested for a while. After seeing that Xuehua had finished washing, the two began to deal with the materials for Blood Lunch. Yue Qing plans to make a stewed pork ribs, a stewed fish and stir-fry some vegetarian dishes for Xuehua.
"Xuehua, you peel the potatoes and carrots first, and then peel off the shallots, garlic, onions, and corn. You can do it while watching TV." Yueqing said to Xuehua.
"Okay." Xuehua went to the living room with a pile of materials.
Yue Qing smiled as she watched Xue Hua go to the living room, then turned around to do her own work. She first chopped the fish into sections and put the fish head away. This fish was processed by Xuehua's mother before she left. Yueqing only handled it briefly and then cut it into pieces. Put the fish aside, pour water into the pot, wash the ribs, put in cold water into the pot, add green onion slices, ginger slices and cooking wine to cook the ribs. After the blood foam comes out, skim off the blood foam in the ribs over and over again. It seems that there will be almost no blood foam coming out. After cooking for another ten minutes, take the ribs out and let them cool for a while.
"Snowflakes, are you done?" Yueqing walked to the living room and asked how the snowflakes were done last year.
"It's almost ready." Xuehua was struggling with the last few garlics. "Okay." Xuehua collected the materials and put them all in the basin.
"Let's go get it together." Yue Qing said.
"Yeah." Xuehua was jumping when she walked. Yue Qing followed her.
"Wow, are you done?" Xuehua looked at the fish and ribs on the chopping board.
"It's still early. Beat two eggs for me and cut the corn into sections." Yueqing stirred the ribs and fish again. Then add the egg liquid and starch, put on disposable gloves and grab the fish and ribs, so that the egg liquid and starch are evenly coated. "Oh, cut the tofu too, and I'll cut the potatoes and carrots."
The two quickly completed the procedure, and Yue Qing poured some oil into the pot.
"Is this going to explode?" Xuehua asked curiously.
"Just fry it a little. I prefer to eat it this way." Yue Qing said while cooking. "Oh, by the way, the tofu needs to be soaked in salt."
In a short while, Yue Qing had fried all three ingredients including tofu.
"It's so troublesome." Xuehua sighed. "I feel like you all cook very quickly. If I cook it, it won't necessarily be ready by when."
"It's okay. Let your husband do it for you when the time comes." Yue Qing teased her.
Yue Qing opened the rice cooker, put onions and ginger at the bottom, then poured in the tofu, and finally put the fish on top, added a series of seasonings, and then turned on the heat and cooked. "Okay, let's wait until the fish is cooked. Sprinkle some chopped green onion at the end and it's ready to eat."
Then pour the ribs and seasonings into the pot on the other side and cook over high heat. After simmering for a while, add potatoes, carrots, corn, etc. into the pot. "Okay, let it cook. I tell you, it's best to cook this kind of food and just let it stew. Let's watch TV and ignore it for now." Yue Qing said with a smile.
"Wow, let's go." Snowflake replied.
After watching TV in the living room for a while, Yue Qing's phone rang. "Snowflake, hand me your phone."
Xuehua reached for the phone, and without turning her head, she stretched her hand in the direction of Yueqing. Yueqing took the phone and saw that it was her sister.
"Hey, sister."
"Her sister, will you come next week?"
"Well, didn't I tell you last time? I have a day off next week, so I will go to your place to play."
"Oh, I was just thinking about it. Okay, I'll prepare something delicious for you."
"I'm making delicious food right now."
"Ah, what a delicious meal you made."
"At Xue Hua's house, the two of us are making fish and ribs together. I bought some good things for Xiaobao, and Xue Hua helped me choose them."
"Baby, come on, my aunt is buying you a gift."
After a while, there was a sound of running, "Auntie, did you buy something for the baby?" The words were not coherent.
"Yeah, baby."
"What is it?"
"Telescope?"
"What is a telescope? Mom, what is a telescope?"
"Can you see far away?" the sister over there answered him.
"Wow, is it that far?" After hearing this, I knew I was gesticulating there again.
"It's further than that."
"Wow." The little nephew sighed. Even though he is young, he already has his own thoughts.
After chatting for a while, I said goodbye to my sister and hung up the phone.
"Go to your sister's place next week." Xuehua saw me hanging up the phone and said to me, "Your sister's kid is so cute. It's time for such a big kid to have fun."
"It's just so fun. It's their family's little toy." Yue Qing replied with a smile.
When the rice was ready, Yue Qing fried another cauliflower, and the two of them started eating.
"Well, it's quite delicious, even better than what my mother makes."
"It's delicious. My mother said last time that I'm good at cooking now."
"Wang Bo will be blessed in the future."
Yue Qing didn't answer.
"Is he still out of town now?" Xuehua asked Yueqing while eating.
"I haven't made any calls recently. I won't talk about him anymore. Let's eat."
The two's lunch ended with Xuehua patting his belly with satisfaction. After tidying up, Yueqing watched anime with Xuehua and listened to Xuehua's explanation while watching.
Yue Qing said to her with a smile, "Are you calling this a spoiler?"
Xuehua smiled and replied to her, "You are so nice and don't read. I will explain it to you, and you will understand. There are many things that you don't need to read."
"Listen to you, it's really pretty."

In the evening, Xuehua reluctantly took Yueqing to the station. Yueqing remembered Xuehua's excited expression when he came to pick her up, "You can't bear to leave me."
"Hey, we finally got to meet each other. Since you left, you haven't prepared any delicious food for me, and there's no one to chat with me about anime. Yue Qing~" Xue Hua hugged Yue Qing. "We should always be good friends. I will never have a friend as good as you."
"It's not far away. I'll come and play with you next time."
"Um."
Yue Qing said goodbye to the clingy snowflakes and got into the car. The car drove away, but Xuehua's figure still stood in the same place in the distance. Fate is really a wonderful thing. Yueqing thought of her encounter with Xuehua, which was a bit dramatic. Fate made her meet such a girl with a completely different personality from hers, and her life became much more exciting than before.
When Yue Qing arrived at her shared house, it was already very late. She knocked on the door and went in. She saw Mi Xiaoyue and the others there, as well as a younger girl.
"Hello, sister." The girl greeted Yueqing obediently.
"Oh, hello." Yue Qing was a little stunned as she took off her shoes and said hello back.
"Sister Yueqing is back." Mi Xiaoyue came out of the bathroom. "This is my sister. Didn't I say last time that I would let her come and stay for a few days?"
"Oh, hello, feel free to play here. Have you eaten?" Yue Qing said to them with a smile.
"We have eaten. Sister Yueqing, haven't you?"
"Oh, I didn't eat at night. I ate a bit too much at lunch. You guys can play, I'm in the room."
"oh."
Yueqing smiled, put away her things, and went into the room to rest.
. . . . . .
The next day was the beginning of busy work time again. Yue Qing thought that sister Mi Xiaoyue was here and would cook them a delicious meal early after get off work one day.
There was nothing special on Wednesday afternoon. Yue Qing got off the early shift and went to the street to buy some chicken drumsticks and some mushrooms before going back.
When they got home, Mi Xiaoyue and Huang Yan were not there, and Mi Xiaoyue's sister was not there either. She didn't know what she was doing, so she went to cook in advance.
Wash the chicken legs, score them a few times with a knife, cover them with the ingredients, soak the mushrooms, and then put them in the pot to stew. After a while, the chicken legs were almost cooked, but Huang Yan and the others hadn't come back yet. Yue Qing lowered the fire and let it simmer slowly, then sat on the sofa in the living room and played with her mobile phone. After about half an hour, Huang Yan and the others finally came back.
When she opened the door, she heard Huang Yan muttering: "Our supervisor is so disgusting." Yue Qing was confused. They took off their shoes at the door, and Mi Xiaoyue's sister was with them.
"Wow, what smells so good? Sister Yueqing, you are back." Mi Xiaoyue saw Yueqing in the living room.
"Well, I got off work early today, and I've prepared a meal for you."
"Wow, Sister Yueqing, you are so kind." Huang Yan sighed and walked to the kitchen. "What did you do?"
"I cooked a chicken leg and steamed some rice. I'll mix it with cold dishes for you later, which will be enough for us to eat."
Mi Xiaoyue looked at Yue Qing smiling, her sister was also behind her and said nothing.
"Hurry up and wash your hands and eat. It's all ready and the food has already tasted good." Yue Qing said.
"Okay." Mi Xiaoyue said, then turned to her sister, "Let's go." Her sister followed Mi Xiaoyue into the bathroom.
Yue Qing set the meal, and Huang Yan and the others were almost ready and sat at the table together. Huang Yan picked up the bowl and said unhappily: "Today, it almost made me angry to death."
"What's wrong?" Yue Qing asked her.
"You don't know, I was in front of the company after get off work today, and a man scolded me, so I must have scolded me back. The man even started to push me. Our supervisor happened to be passing by there. He didn't say anything to help me. Mine, I didn’t even say a word, it was so disgusting, I didn’t want to do it there anymore.”
Yue Qing looked at Mi Xiaoyue, aren't they from the same company?
Mi Xiaoyue saw Yueqing looking at her, "That man is mentally ill."
"The key point is, I'm not angry because of that man. That man, I think I'm unlucky. The key point is our supervisor. Sister Yueqing, you said, we are a unit. Even if he is not our supervisor, you can always help me. What's more, we usually respect her so much. Let me tell you, I have always regarded her as an elder. Who knew she would be like this? It's really disgusting." Huang Yan said angrily.
Yue Qing doesn't know how to persuade her. She really wants to say that they may really have no obligation to help you. Seeing that Huang Yan was in a bad mood, she said, "Next time, you will know what kind of person she is. Everyone has their own thoughts. Don't think too much and just eat."
Huang Yan began to eat her meal unhappily.
Mi Xiaoyue remained quiet and gave her sister a chicken drumstick. It can be seen that she loves and protects her sister.
"Is it yummy."
"It's delicious." Mi Xiaoyue.
"It's delicious." Sister Mi
"The food you cooked is quite delicious." Huang Yan said.
Yueqing happily ate with her.
