With Lin Xu'an by her side every day, Ye Wanwan had no chance to cheat. After a few days of eating a simple diet, she felt that life was hopeless! There was no hope for the days to come! There was no meaning in living!
Okay, it’s a bit exaggerated, but if you want to live a decent life, you have to be prosperous. For example, eat something spicy... It’s so simple and unpretentious.
Although Dongmei would cook for her in different ways, the food was just too bland and could not stimulate her taste buds. So Ye Wanwan decided that on this good day of recovery, she would eat hot pot, which she had not eaten for a long time!
"Master, but I don't know how to make hot pot. How about I make you some boiled pork slices tonight? Didn't you say last time that I have a talent for cooking this dish?" Dongmei said while cutting vegetables.
Except for the first day when she cooked, the victims took over all the work spontaneously for the rest of the time. They were very frugal in eating and had to be watched closely before they would cook all the food that was sent to them.
Ye Wanwan shook her head. She was very stubborn about what she had decided on. Besides, this wasn't a big deal, so it was okay to be willful. "No, let's eat hot pot today!"
"Then you tell me, master, and I'll do it." Dongmei put the work in her hands aside the next second and waited obediently for Ye Wanwan's orders.
Ye Wanwan looked at Dongmei's awkward expression and laughed out loud, "Does it seem like I'm bullying a decent woman?"
Dongmei was no longer surprised by her master's occasional erratic behavior. She followed Ye Wanwan into the greenhouse where many vegetables were grown.
There are quite a few vegetables grown in the greenhouse, and some seeds that were previously unidentifiable have all been planted. They are all carefully taken care of by someone, and they are all growing very well.
Ye Wanwan immediately fell in love with the strawberries among the vegetables. The bright red strawberries looked particularly bright among the green. Ye Wanwan rushed over at the fastest speed in her life, picked a strawberry and put it in her mouth.
It wasn't that she was greedy, there were simply too few edible fruits here. God knows how long it had been since she had eaten fresh fruit. She even had to save on dried and canned fruit! Sigh, when would she finally be able to enjoy fruit all day?
"Master, what is this? When I came to pick vegetables, I didn't dare to touch anything I didn't recognize." Dongmei took the strawberry handed to her by Ye Wanwan and put it into her mouth like Ye Wanwan did.
Ye Wanwan happily picked another strawberry and put it in her mouth. "This is called strawberry. How does it taste? It's delicious, right?"
"Yeah, this is the most delicious thing I have ever eaten." The sweet and sour taste spread in her mouth. Dongmei subconsciously squinted her eyes and nodded repeatedly.
The two of them had picked almost all the red strawberries before continuing to walk inside. Unexpectedly, the further they went inside, the more surprises they encountered. Not only were there those juicy cabbages of all sizes, but there were even tomatoes!
Ye Wanwan looked at the heavy tomatoes hanging from the branches and wanted to laugh out loud. Who could understand this random bag of mixed seeds she had just bought? Who on earth could understand this?
Let’s not talk about how much money she can make, that’s too cheesy. Let’s just say that these seeds now seem to have her favorite tomatoes. There are only two words to describe it: worth it. It’s really worth it!
Xu Yingying looked at Ye Wanwan, who was so happy to eat her favorite food, and was very surprised. Ever since she knew Ye Wanwan, she always looked like she was in control of everything. This was the first time she saw her acting so childish.
"Of course I'm happy. Happiness is sometimes a very small thing. Maybe in an occasional moment, you can experience happiness you have never experienced before." Ye Wanwan answered Xu Yingying's words seriously and did not think there was anything wrong with it.
Life is only 30,000 days long, and she really has no idea about herself. She really doesn't know what can make her happy.
Perhaps happiness is a matter of timing, location, and people? But my career has been somewhat successful, and I have friends and family by my side, so there's really nothing to be dissatisfied with...
Ye Wanwan's number one fangirl, Xu Yang, began nodding continuously after her idol finished speaking. "Yes, Yang'er will be happy for a long time every time she memorizes a medicinal herb now."
"Yang'er is so great. Come, let sister Wanwan feed you another strawberry." Ye Wanwan picked up a strawberry and started feeding it to him with love.
Xu Yingying smiled and shook her head, then ate another piece of candied tomato. "What a pair of funny people! This red plum blossom in the snow does taste pretty good, but I don't know what it has to do with red plum blossoms."
"It's not just called Red Plum in the Snow, it's also called Flying Fox of Snow Mountain, Snow Falling on the Volcano, and Heavy Snow Covering the Flaming Mountain..." Ye Wanwan knew them all like the back of her hand, although she didn't quite understand how a simple dish of cold-mixed tomatoes could have so many high-sounding names.
Maybe in the world of foodies, eating is the most important thing, so she doesn’t understand other people’s romanticism. But people just want to be happy, not know everything!
Listening to Ye Wanwan reciting a recipe, Xu Yingying's smile never faded, and Xu Yang also chuckled, "Sister, these names are really nice."
"Okay, you laugh at me too. I will take away all the strawberries I gave you later. You know, I don't have much to eat, and I wanted to share them with you..." Ye Wanwan said pretending to be aggrieved, and stretched out her black hand to the strawberries openly.
Xu Yang, the little hamster guarding his food, quickly hugged the strawberry. His little brain was thinking very quickly, "Actually, I also think these names are very meaningful. Look at these fiery red persimmons, blooming on the white sugar that looks like snow. What a beautiful scene."
Ye Wanwan couldn't stop laughing. She had to admit, teasing such clever kids was sometimes quite fun, but she hadn't forgotten what her original wish was today! Hot pot, here I come!
In the afternoon, in the Lin family's kitchen, Ye Wanwan did not ask anyone else to do the cooking, and did it herself. The aroma of the hot pot base could be smelled for miles, and the whole village was in an uproar.
As for Ye Wanwan, while she was frying the hot pot base, she couldn't help but lament that beef was too precious here, and she couldn't even have beef hot pot! She was going to seize the opportunity next time!
Ye Wanwan prepared red soup, tomato soup and mushroom soup. After all, there are many children in the family, and those who can't eat spicy food have to be taken care of.
Moreover, the conditions today seemed to be not very favorable, and there was no time to prepare the pig stomach and chicken soup, which is also the signature dish of Hedi Lao. She loves it very much, and her foodie nature was exposed all at once.
