The advantage of living alone is that you can do whatever you want. Tang Xiaoxiao didn't rush to get dressed after getting up. Although the villa had floor-to-ceiling windows in most areas, the curtains were drawn tightly, so you couldn't see anything from the outside. Tang Xiaoxiao liked to sleep naked, so she walked into the bathroom barefoot, completely naked. After washing up, she wrapped herself in a bathrobe and came out. Two cats were lying by the door, staring at her with wide eyes. Their meows sounded to Tang Xiaoxiao as "Sister, we'll protect you."
She chuckled and gently patted the two adorable kittens. In her past life, she had read online that cats were terrified of water, so they would guard the bathroom door to prevent their owners from drowning. Now it seemed that this wasn't just idle talk.
When she lived with her parents, she never had to worry about food or drink. No matter what time she got up, her mother would always leave warm food for her in the kitchen. But now that she was living on her own, she naturally didn't have that kind of treatment. She went to the open kitchen and made herself some fried eggs and milk for a simple breakfast.
She put a lot of thought into this kitchen. In her previous life, neither she nor Han Yunqi knew how to cook, so she was forced to learn cooking skills to avoid eating takeout all the time. However, this was also partly due to her own interest in the subject. Tang Xiaoxiao, who had never lifted a finger in the kitchen for over twenty years, learned to cook for the first time by following a recipe she found online, and her cooking was quite good, even better than what Han's mother, a housewife for decades, could make.
It can only be said that cooking skills really require talent.
She doesn't have to worry about anyone in this life. She can decorate the kitchen as she pleases according to her own interests. The kitchen is filled with the most advanced small appliances, from microwave ovens and ovens to fully functional rice cookers and pressure cookers, and from various juicers, ice cream makers, yogurt makers, and so on. There is a full set of high-end knives made in Germany. Two huge imported double-door refrigerators are built into the cabinets, and when opened, they are full of various fresh ingredients.
Actually, storing food in a refrigerator is the best way to keep it fresh; it won't spoil no matter how long it's stored. But Tang Xiaoxiao lives in the real world, and a cozy little home can't be without a refrigerator full of food.
Behind the transparent glass door, the cabinets are neatly arranged with various tableware, some high-end and some cute. Tang Xiaoxiao has a special fondness for these plates and bowls. In her previous life, she couldn't help but want to buy anything she liked, even though there were only two people in her family and they used at most two or three plates for a meal. She still couldn't resist her desire to collect them.
Having never lacked money or space in her life, and without her mother-in-law nagging her for buying useless things, Tang Xiaoxiao completely unleashed her true nature, fully demonstrating what it means to be in charge of my own territory.
In the very center of the kitchen, she even built a stove for burning firewood, with a huge iron pot on top. The stove was connected to a smoke extraction system, so she didn't have to worry about smoke escaping even when lighting a fire in the room.
The stove was installed at Tang Xiaoxiao's insistence. Cheng Yiming, the old classmate who was originally in charge of the design, was very opposed to it, but he had to compromise under Tang Xiaoxiao's strong request. Fortunately, he had solid skills and good aesthetic sense, and managed to integrate this rustic stove with the European-style decoration style of the villa.
In the north, stewed dishes in iron pots are famous throughout the country. As a true northerner, how can I not eat a few meals of stewed chicken, fish, and goose in an iron pot in winter? To eat authentic stewed dishes in an iron pot, both the iron pot and firewood are indispensable. Without either one, the stewed dish loses its soul.
