Thanks to the care of these two college students, Yu Hui was able to sell out his last eight boxed meals.
After packing up his things, Yu Hui rode his tricycle out of the food street amidst the envious glances of all the stall owners.
Just as they stepped out of the food street, Pan Tiezhu followed them on his van, and the two of them carried all the ingredients back to Yu Hui's dormitory.
"Tiezhu, it's time to go home."
Yu Hui waved his hand; it was almost seven o'clock, and he wanted to rest too.
"Okay, brother!"
Pan Tiezhu chuckled and skipped out.
After taking a shower, Yu Hui lay on the sofa and watched TV for a while before going back to his room to rest.
————————
The next day.
The sun was shining brightly, and a gentle breeze was blowing.
After a busy morning, Yu Hui set up his stall as usual.
At the same time.
Li Ba and Wang Ying also left the station and returned to Jinshi.
Today is Sunday, and there are no classes. Li Ba's parents have gone back to their hometown in the countryside, so he thought he would bring his girlfriend home to have some fun and show off his abilities.
Cook a delicious home-cooked meal for your girlfriend.
When Wang Ying heard that Li Ba wanted to cook for her, she agreed without hesitation.
They hailed a taxi and arrived back at Li Ba's house in just over ten minutes.
Li Ba's home is a two-bedroom, one-living room apartment, about 70 square meters. It's not a large apartment, but it's enough for a family of three.
He and Wang Ying both studied in Jinshi. Li Ba was a local, while Wang Ying was from out of town.
so.
Li Ba did not live in the dormitory but lived with his family, while Wang Ying lived in the dormitory.
They bought fast food yesterday, ate three servings, and plan to put the remaining five in the refrigerator to finish in the next few days.
When needed, simply take it out and heat it in the microwave, and you can enjoy a delicious meal.
Back home, Wang Ying and Li Ba both lay down on the sofa.
Li Ba's parents often went back to their hometown to visit their grandparents. Sometimes when his parents weren't home, Li Ba would invite Wang Ying to his house.
The first couple of times, Wang Ying was a little shy, but now that she comes more often, she treats her like family.
Wang Ying was lying on the sofa playing Miracle Nikki, while Li Ba searched for a few tutorials on Bilibili and placed an order on Dongdong Maicai, preparing to show off his skills in front of his girlfriend.
This time, he was very meticulous. He not only bought all the ingredients and seasonings, but also carefully wrote down the cooking steps on a piece of paper.
Seeing how considerate her boyfriend was, Wang Ying felt a warmth in her heart.
She's from Sichuan and Chongqing, where it's common for men to be the ones cooking after marriage.
Perhaps because men from Sichuan and Chongqing cook every day, they have earned a nickname: "Pa Erduo" (meaning "henpecked husband").
The original meaning of "耙耳朵" is to be obedient to one's wife, henpecked, and to do whatever one's wife tells you to do without disobeying.
But in Sichuan and Chongqing, this is a symbol of a man's love for his wife, and it's a positive term.
If a man cooks at home every day, he's sure to receive a lot of praise from his wife's best friends and other friends.
Not only will the man be happy, but his wife will also feel very fortunate.
Half an hour later, the doorbell rang.
Li Ba took the groceries from the deliveryman and prepared to show off his culinary skills.
This time he plans to cook three dishes: corn and pork rib soup, stir-fried pork with chili peppers, and hot and sour shredded potatoes.
Three dishes and a soup are enough for two people.
"Xiaoying, you stay in the living room by yourself. I'm going to the kitchen to cook. We'll be able to eat a delicious meal soon~~~" Li Ba said with a grin.
Wang Ying hummed in agreement, then clenched her fist to cheer him on, saying, "Daddy, I believe in you, you can do it!"
Li Ba was overjoyed to receive his girlfriend's praise. He walked into the kitchen with a smile and started getting busy.
They went down the mountain early in the morning to catch the bus, and the two of them didn't even have time to eat breakfast, so they were already very hungry.
Wang Ying actually wanted to just heat up the lunchbox in the microwave and eat it, but Li Ba solemnly said he would cook, so she couldn't refuse.
So they asked Li Ba to cook.
Glug glug~~~~
Wang Ying appeared calm while playing Miracle Nikki, but in reality, she was starving.
She has only one wish now: to eat as soon as possible.
......
Time passed little by little.
Since it was Li Ba's first time cooking and he didn't have a system, he cooked very slowly.
It took him more than two hours to prepare the three simple dishes.
If it were Yu Hui, it would probably be done in half an hour.
Li Ba placed the food on the table, and as soon as he called Wang Ying, she immediately ran over from the living room.
She hadn't eaten breakfast today, so she was already very hungry.
This time, Li Ba cooked, and she waited for more than two hours. She felt like she was about to faint from hunger.
"Xiaoying, hurry up and eat! I'm a great cook, and my dishes are sure to be delicious!"
Like an old woman selling melons, she praised her own wares.
Li Ba praised the food he had cooked with a grin.
Wang Ying pursed her lips, her face also full of anticipation, but when she saw the finished dish, she was dumbfounded.
"This...this is French fries?"
"No, that's hot and sour shredded potatoes."
"Oh... I recognize this, it's stir-fried pork with chili peppers, but why are the pork slices as thick as Tetris blocks?"
"There's nothing I can do. It's my first time making it, and my knife skills aren't very good."
"Okay, this corn and pork rib soup looks good. I'm going to have a few more bowls later!"
After they finished speaking, the two sat down at the dining table.
As soon as they sat down, Li Ba kept putting food on Wang Ying's plate.
"Xiaoying, you've worked so hard this time. Eat more, get a little chubby and you'll be even cuter~~~"
