When Xu Wenzhou came to the kitchen door, he just saw the smoke rolling inside. The tip of his nose smelled the smell and frowned in an instant.
Then he went into the kitchen and pulled Mi Raner, who was squatting there and didn't know what to do, to the balcony. "Why are you still in there? Is it comfortable to be smoked?"
Mi Ran'er stuck out his tongue and lay on Xu Wenzhou's chest. After coughing for a long time, he raised his small face and said hoarsely, "the coal stove is too difficult to use. It's better to use our rural earth stove! These coal balls don't burn!"
"That's because you're not doing it right."
Xu Wenzhou said reluctantly. He went back to the house to get some newspapers and cleaned up all the coal stove. Then he put the newspaper at the bottom and sprinkled some sawdust on it before lighting the newspaper.
The sawdust was soon ignited by the newspaper, and then he threw some coal balls.
There was no hurry like Mi Raner, throwing a lot at once. When the briquettes were gradually burning red, they added a few pieces.
It took Xu Wenzhou less than five minutes to light the coal stove.
Compared with the time when Mi Raner just lit a spark, Xu Wenzhou was simply relaxed, convenient and happy!
The smoke from the kitchen also floated out.
Xu Wenzhou put the pot full of water on the coal stove.
"All right."
Xu Wenzhou patted the dust on his hands and turned to leave.
"Where are you going?" Mi Ran'er grabbed his arm and looked puzzled.
"What? Don't you want to cook? I won't stop you here." Xu Wenzhou said, trying to break away from MI Raner.
Mi Ran'er hurriedly grabbed him again. "No, you're here to fight me. Are you really willing to let me be busy alone?" Mi Ran'er blinked a pair of big water mist eyes. "I'm so carsick. In fact, I haven't had a good rest."
Xu Wenzhou's eyebrows trembled slightly when she realized that she was acting like a spoiled child.
Immediately, he frowned slightly and looked at his new wife, "cooking is not..."
"Women's responsibilities? You want to say this? Then you are too..." male chauvinism!
Mi Ran'er was a little disgusted. She loosened Xu Wenzhou's arm. "Since brother Wenzhou thinks so, I won't ask you to help me. Just let me cook by myself. Go and have a rest."
Xu Wenzhou listened to the words with resentment.
"Forget it, what do you want me to help you?" Xu Wenzhou took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, looked at the vegetables and meat on the desk and asked in a low voice.
"Can you wash rice? Can you peel potatoes? If you can, help me wash rice first, and then peel potatoes. There's nothing else I need your help." Mi Raner expressed great satisfaction with Xu Wenzhou's changing attitude.
She narrowed her eyes, smiled cunningly, and turned to wash the streaky pork she had bought.
Xu Wenzhou accepted his fate.
He went to wash rice first and kept the rice washing water according to MI Raner's instructions.
Mi Ran'er soaked the sliced pork in rice washing water. When he was about to put it into the pot, he took it out and cleaned it.
Then, wait until the water in the pot boils and pour the washed rice into the pot.
……
The time was closer to dinner, and Xu Wenzhou's colleagues arrived.
They went to play in the city, brought back some cold dishes and wine, and bought melon seeds, peanuts and candy. It seems that they are really going to be lively here in xuwenzhou tonight!
