Forget it, it might taste good!
She scooped out the vegetables and took a bite happily. She almost vomited.
Not only was the taste extremely bland, but there was also a fishy smell of boiled vegetables and eggs mixed together. It was very nauseating.
Yu Xuan hurriedly threw the food in her mouth into the trash can. The sudden frustration made her unhappy. She walked out of the kitchen and collapsed on the sofa, not wanting to get up again.
She did not expect a simple meal to be so difficult. This Huo Tian was indeed not simple!
Ever since she was young, she had never submitted to anyone. Be it in terms of studies, looks, or career, she was a dragon among men. She was extremely talented since she was young and did things smoothly. She rarely lost.
Having grown up in an environment where her fingers were not wet with spring water, she could eat as she pleased. How could she care about how she usually ate and how her clothes came about?
No, she could not lose to Huo Tian!
The strong competitive spirit she had cultivated since she was young made her absolutely unwilling to give up just like that. She looked at the pile of vegetables and began to think of a way.
Suddenly, she slapped her forehead. Yes! She could learn from watching short videos! There were so many short videos of cooking now!
She quickly searched and paid attention to a few Culinary bloggers. These bloggers taught her step by step from buying vegetables, picking vegetables, cutting vegetables, washing pots, cooking, and seasoning in detail.
Only then did she know that she still needed to find some salt, soy sauce, MSG, and other condiments. No wonder her dishes were tasteless.
It was rare that she understood that eggs and cabbage could not be fried together!
After watching many videos, she was greatly encouraged and prepared to make a comeback. This time, she decided to try to make the simplest dish, Stir-fried Mountain Herbs.
She learned from the video and found the mountain herbs. She used a knife to peel it, but the herbs seemed to not listen to her at all. It was smooth and would drop into the trash can accidentally.
After abandoning a few, the ingredients were almost used up.
Yu Xuan steeled her heart and took out the last herb that had dropped into the trash can before continuing to peel!
After half an hour, she finally peeled one.
Yu Xuan was unable to contain her joy. She watched the video as she cut the wild herb into pieces and clumsily cut a few dishes. Then, she picked up the pot and heated the oil before putting the ingredients in.
After more than ten minutes of stir-frying, the ingredients were already emitting a fragrance. She quickly added seasonings, afraid that she would add too much, and she placed them as she tasted.
When the taste was even, she had almost finished eating.
After so many hardships, Yu Xuan had finally made the first dish of her life. Although there was not much left, she was still so excited that she almost cried.
She even felt that even if she negotiated a huge project and obtained outstanding results, it would not be as strong and fulfilling as this time.
Unfortunately, no one shared this historic moment with her.
When she thought of this, Yu Xuan felt a little sad.
Suddenly, Yu Xuan seemed to have thought of something. Her eyes lit up as she searched through the cabinet and found a lunch box. She carefully placed the few dishes she had just made into the lunch box and quickly walked out the door before driving away.
Bai Ran was recuperating at home and was bored. She could only take out the relics and photo albums her mother had left behind repeatedly.
She wiped it over and over again. She missed her mother and her former self.
Over the past few days, she had thought about many things.
When she thought about the two years she had been married to Chen Chen, if she had to describe it in a few words, it would be ‘love’ and ‘not worth it’.
She was very certain that her feelings for Chen Chen were true.
Ever since she was informed that she had to negotiate a divorce with Chen Chen, even if she looked normal on the surface, she had always been melancholic. She had persuaded herself to let go, but she had been touched by Chen Chen’s actions.
Especially when she was pulled back from the gates of hell a few times, Chen Chen had almost always been involved. She and he seemed to always be able to turn misfortune into blessings, and it was always difficult to take the step of divorce at the critical moment.
However, when she believed that they were fated and could not bear to separate, Hu Wan would always suddenly appear and become the ferocious tiger blocking their way.
Therefore, after so long, her feelings for Chen Chen were still wavering. She hated her current state very much and was no longer like the stubborn and self-respecting her.
As she was in deep thought, a knock on the door interrupted her thoughts.
