The room was silent except for the rustling sound of the pen tips sliding across the paper and the breathing of the two people. You could almost hear a pin drop in the room. It was not until the alarm clock on the desk rang that the two of them stopped writing at the same time, looked up and smiled at each other.
"I'll go wash the rice and cook." Kang Mingyuan closed the notebook and put the notebook and pen in the desk drawer.
"Brother Yuan, when you cook, add half of the rice to the pot." Qiao Mo said.
"Can I put less?" Kang Mingyuan paused and asked. He wanted to cook rice, but as soon as Qiao Mo opened her mouth, he knew what she was worried about.
"Just put less in, but it can't be too eye-catching." Qiao Mo said with a smile.
"I see. I'll put one-third of the sweet potato rice." Kang Mingyuan said he understood. He knew that the biggest disadvantage of living in a dormitory was that there was no privacy at all. Some people would enter other people's homes without even knocking on the door.
Qiao Mo nodded: "Brother Yuan, let's have some cold winter bamboo shoots and stir-fry some vegetables tonight, is that okay?"
"Okay, I can eat anything." Kang Mingyuan felt even more regretful when he thought about having to eat vegetarian meals in the future: he shouldn't have agreed to rent out the yard, and he shouldn't have moved here to live.
Seeing the regret in his eyes, Qiao Mo could only comfort him softly: "Brother Yuan, we haven't lived here for long. We'll get over it soon. If you really feel anxious, we can go back to Yongxing Street for a meal. When we get there, you can eat whatever you want."
The yard on Yongxing Street is big enough, and the neighbors on both sides all have villas, each with a large yard. The smell cannot drift to other people's homes, and neighbors generally don't visit, so it is very safe.
"I just feel sorry for Mo Mo. It's my fault for not thinking it through. I didn't expect that living here would not only be inconvenient for daily life, but I would have to worry so much even when cooking." Kang Mingyuan really regretted it, but he himself didn't care. He had suffered all kinds of hardships in those years, and now he just wanted to eat less meat.
"Don't think like that. Tomorrow when we return to Yongxing Street, we will cook some meat dishes and store them in the storage beads and storage bags. We can just take them out secretly and eat them when we want to eat." Qiao Mo thought for a while and said, she is also a carnivore. It doesn't matter if she doesn't eat meat for two days, but she will definitely not be able to bear it for a long time.
"Okay, let's make more tomorrow." Kang Mingyuan thought this was a good idea. He washed the rice and sweet potato rice and put them into the rice cooker, plugged it in to cook, then took the coal stove out from under the table and put it in the aisle, opened all the stove doors, and then went to wash the spinach.
They brought a lot of vegetables from Yongxing Street, including radishes and Chinese cabbage, as well as spinach, bok choy, etc. Given Qiao Mo's personality, cabbage and radishes are the easiest to wash. Qiao Mo doesn't like stir-fried radishes, so he prepared to wash a few cabbage leaves.
It was different for Kang Mingyuan. He knew that Qiao Mo liked to eat spinach and Chinese cabbage the most, followed by radish, and finally Chinese cabbage. As for radish, she really didn't like to eat it unless it was stewed with pork belly or pork ribs. It was already unfair to her that he couldn't let her eat meat, so how could he force her to eat Chinese cabbage?
Half an hour later, the rice in the rice cooker was cooked. Qiao Mo unplugged the plug, took out a winter bamboo shoot from the space, peeled it, removed the old roots, scooped some water to rinse it, and cut it into thin slices the width of a thumb. Put it into the pot and blanch it. After it was cooked, he took it out and drained the water. Then he heated the oil in a pot. After that, he removed the pot from the heat, and then added the minced garlic, minced ginger and dried red chili segments into the pot and sautéed them until fragrant.
Put the pot back on the fire, put the bamboo shoots that have been drained into the pot and stir-fry for a few minutes. After seasoning with salt, soy sauce, etc., you can remove from the pot and serve.
