Chapter 84 Working together to make a meal
It's still about eating. It seems that the level of communication between Luo Cheng and Liu Xiaofei currently only stops at eating. This time Liu Xiaofei asked Luo Cheng not to order takeout, nor to ask Luo Cheng to buy food. Instead, it is proposed to cook and eat at home, with a ready-made kitchen, and for the same money, you can eat well.
Liu Xiaofei calculated that even if they ate lunch from the construction site every day, excluding breakfast, a meal for the two of them would cost ten yuan, which would be twenty yuan a day. It's nothing to eat a box lunch for one person. For two people, it costs forty yuan. Regardless of saving money, you can buy a pound of ribs for 40 yuan, plus some other dishes. It is rich and healthy to eat.
When eating, you must consider hygiene and health. Luo Cheng has always felt that if you have enough to eat, it is good to be full. In his day, it was difficult to eat enough. I had never heard anyone say, this is not nutritious, so what about that. As long as it can be eaten and won't cause any problems, don't eat anything.
He didn't think the lunch boxes at the construction site were bad, but when he thought about Lao Zhang and his wife who lived at the construction site, they bought and cooked food, and said that they could save a lot. A simple calculation is true. If the two of them don't count breakfast and have to eat only boxed lunches for each meal, it's one thousand and two dollars a month. The vegetables in the market are not expensive. If you don’t eat meat, you can only buy shredded pork for a few yuan. Ten yuan can feed two people for a day.
It's just that Luo Cheng didn't expect that Liu Xiaofei would want to make food with him. At any rate, his days in the future would be short. I know that some women in this era are arrogant, like Liu Xiaofei. If she is not selective, there may be many men who will agree to cook for her every day. Of course, those men had a purpose, and Luo Cheng and her were in a form of cooperation.
"I don't know how to cook."
"I will. You are responsible for going to the old street to buy it, and I will get it. Each of you pays half of the money, how about it?"
"It can be done."
"It's possible, but it depends on your honesty. I'm not willing to do it with others. How about we start today? I have another thing to discuss with you."
"What's the matter? Tell me."
"I'm going to set up a stall on Dongfang Pedestrian Street to sell clothes in a few days. I've already ordered online. When the goods arrive, I'll put them in the living room. It'll be fine."
The living room is considered a common area for co-tenants. So Liu Xiaofei wanted to discuss it with Luo Cheng, and she chose to cook and eat by herself. On the one hand, it was indeed hygienic and clean, and on the other hand, it saved money. For twenty yuan per person, you can eat well for a day. Even if you eat something simple, it won’t cost you twenty.
Nowadays, if you spend 20 points on takeout online, you won't be able to eat well even if you only eat one meal. In addition, it is said everywhere on the Internet that some takeout restaurants use pre-made dishes. There is a joke on the Internet that customers order takeout because people are lazy and want convenience. The seller also said that I use pre-made dishes out of laziness and convenience.
Luo Cheng didn't care about using the living room to store things, but he heard Liu Xiaofei talking about ordering online. Suddenly something occurred to me. If I establish a good relationship with Liu Xiaofei in the future and find a reason to ask her to help order some domestic wild boars and pheasants online, she won't not help.
When it comes to finding excuses, people come up with solutions. Last time I went to dinner with my coworkers, there were so many restaurants there. Find an opportunity to get some eels and turtles to see if you can make a deal and find someone willing to cooperate. Then Liu Xiaofei said that he bought it for someone else's restaurant. As long as Liu Xiaofei trusts herself, the problem will not be big.
"No problem. I usually lie down in my room. You can put it anywhere in the living room."
"Okay, there are pots, rice cookers, and bowls in my room. You go buy a bag of rice and some vegetables. If you want any condiments, I'll send them to you on my mobile phone."
"Then what food should I buy?"
"When you get to the old street and see what dishes there are, just video me. I'll choose some. There's a refrigerator in the kitchen. It won't go bad if you buy more vegetables."
Luo Cheng nodded and saw that it was past eleven o'clock, so he set off immediately.
As for Liu Xiaofei, she naturally went back to her room to get the rice cooker, pot and bowl. As for why she had these, she didn't buy them when she first moved here. Luo Cheng didn't come at that time, and Sister Juan, whom she met online, was still living there with others. The kitchen was used in turn, but within a few days, these items were no longer needed.
If you work the night shift, the place there provides late night snacks. Eat something on the street when you go to work in the evening, and have breakfast in the morning when you get off work. If you sleep during the day and don’t get up at noon, who has the energy to buy groceries and cook?
It was still raining outside the house, but Luo Cheng went out holding the umbrella Liu Xiaofei gave him yesterday. When we got to the old street, Liu Xiaofei basically controlled Luo Cheng to buy things via remote video. There is a refrigerator anyway, and this woman, whether it’s groceries or whatever, she buys what she wants when she sees it.
When Luo Cheng finally came back, he had a bag of rice, seasonings, many vegetables, and meat. According to Liu Xiaofei, two people can eat for many days.
Because he brought so many things, the umbrella Luo Cheng brought was not easy to hold. His upper body was basically wet and his clothes stuck to his body. Even if he didn't take off his clothes, his muscles were still visible.
Liu Xiaofei had spent a lot of time in that kind of place, and she saw many men with beer bellies and fat bodies. Even among young people, how many can have such a good figure like Luo Cheng now?
Somehow, Luo Cheng gave Liu Xiaofei a feeling that if this guy changed his outfit, he might look good.
After buying the things, Luo Cheng only had to wait for dinner, so he sat in the living room and played with his mobile phone. What I didn't expect was that Liu Xiaofei seemed to be pretty good at cooking, at least the food she cooked was very fragrant.
It's just that when eating, it seems that Liu Xiaofei underestimated her appetite. The rice bowl she took out was the size of a palm. She took a few bites of the rice and then it was gone. The rice cooker is not big, so it is not fully cooked yet. Luo Cheng felt that it was more convenient for him to hold the rice cooker and eat.
She can only be asked to cook more rice at night. She cannot be full of rice just because the two of them eat together. Of course, if you are full, you may not be able to eat enough even if the rice cooker is fully cooked, but at least it should be enough.
Regarding the suggestion that there was not enough rice, Liu Xiaofei nodded in agreement. In fact, the rice cooked for noon today was enough for her and Lili to eat for a whole day.
Hey, the people who work on the construction site can really eat. If you save a little on two dishes, you can last for a whole day, but they are all gone. Liu Xiaofei had to make two meals a day, and Liu Xiaofei was a little depressed, but the suggestion was made by herself, and she had bought vegetables and rice, so she couldn't regret it. But one thing is, the way Luo Cheng eats is really appetizing. I need to make a video, make a mukbang or something, maybe a lot of people will watch it.
In the afternoon, Luo Cheng watched another movie all afternoon, but he didn't watch the movie about fighting Japanese enemies all the time. Instead, I watched a Kung Fu movie from Xiangjiang. It was about flying over a wall, stepping on the left foot with the right foot, and using the strength of the stepping to fly up using light kung fu. It was so good.
When a person stands on the ground and jumps hard, he can indeed fly into the air. If the speed in the air is fast, the left foot and the right foot will seem to exert more force before the person falls. It seems like the qinggong in the movie might be possible.
Luo Cheng briefly tried it in the room and found that the time between jumping up and falling down was too short, and his left foot had not yet stepped on his right foot. Maybe it would be okay if he could stay in the air for a while longer. Why don't you find a higher place and try jumping down~~~.
