Life is a Game

Because Sun Jikai passed out early, the kebab party ended earlier than expected, and when Ji Yue returned home with the packed crayfish, it was only 10:40.

Ji Xue did not sleep as she expected, and was still busy in the kitchen, but it didn't look like cooking, it seemed like she was cooking soup.

Ji Yue approached the kitchen and smelled the vegetable tofu soup.

"You're back!" Ji Xue hadn't taken off her apron yet, "Come and try my vegetable tofu soup."

"Vegetable tofu soup?" Ji Yue put the crayfish on the table and went into the kitchen to look.

It is indeed a vegetable tofu soup, not only green vegetables, but also green beans, lettuce, lettuce, baby vegetables, cabbage and cabbage, all the vegetables that Ji Xue brought back from the back kitchen today are in this pot of soup.

Not only vegetable tofu soup, but also a hodgepodge of green vegetables.

Because of the addition of tofu, the color of the soup is a bit milky white, and the vegetables are chopped and mixed together, interlaced in the middle of the square white and tender tofu, which is very light and elegant.

It was the first time Ji Yue saw so many kinds of vegetables and tofu mixed together to make soup.

"Axue, how did you come up with the idea of ​​making this soup?" Ji Yue took a closer look and smelled it, it smelled good, it should be delicious.

Ji Yue just ate so many greasy and heavy barbecues, and also ate a pound of crayfish, and the burp on the way back made the smell a bit greasy.

Ji Xue boiled this pot of light and greasy, green and healthy vegetable tofu soup, just in line with Ji Yue's heart.

"My family often cooks this soup, and my sister likes to drink it. It's just that the price of green beans has always been relatively high, and my family usually cooks this soup without adding green beans." Ji Xue explained, "I know you can't draw these days I feel annoyed about writing a manuscript, and I go to Dongmen to eat barbecue every day to relax, but your stomach will definitely not be able to bear it if you eat like this every day, drinking this light soup is just right to relieve the boredom."

"Ah, Axue, I love you so much!" Ji Yue gave Ji Xue a loving hug, and excitedly went to get a bowl of soup to drink.

The taste of the vegetable tofu soup was very light. Ji Yue guessed that Ji Xue might not have added anything except salt, not even a drop of sesame oil, but the taste was unexpectedly good.

If the barbecue and crayfish we ate tonight were compared to a gorgeous and thick oil painting with rich layers and diverse colors, then Ji Xue's vegetable tofu soup is a simple, light, gentle and pleasant, simple and elegant ink painting.

"It's delicious! It's super delicious!" Ji Yue has never been stingy with her compliments, "In fact, I will drink this after eating barbecue in the future. It's really delicious!"

"As long as you like it." Ji Xue also had a happy face, "A customer suggested that there is no light soup in the store, so I just wanted to see if I could sell this soup in the store."

"Absolutely. Your soup is definitely light enough and delicious. It's definitely fine!" Ji Yue encouraged Ji Xue.

"I'll cook it for a few more days, and try to see if other dishes taste better. The store is testing dishes on the 27th, and there is still more than a week left." Ji Xue turned around and continued to clean up the household garbage in the kitchen.

Ji Yue was standing in the kitchen drinking soup with a soup bowl in her hand. Ji Xue cleaned the kitchen quickly and was about to take the garbage bag downstairs to throw it away when Ji Yue stopped her.

"Oh, I was so busy drinking soup that I forgot about my business. Axue, don't throw out the trash. On the table is the crayfish I brought back for you. You eat the crayfish first. There is still soup in it. I picked out the garlic leaves and ginger slices for you. You'd better eat them now, otherwise the taste may change tomorrow." Ji Yue put the soup bowl down and went to the table to pack He took out the box and opened it, "Let me tell you that their garlic crayfish is very delicious. It is just fragrant and has no garlic taste at all. You will definitely like it."

"I..." Ji Xue hesitated.

"What about me, I have eaten so much of your cooking these days, I am going to get fat! You have to eat it back for me, you have to gain as much weight as I gain, eat quickly, it is still warm now Yes, it won't taste good when it's cold!" Ji Yue urged.

"good……"

Under Ji Yue's urging, Ji Xue walked to the dining table, put on gloves, and slowly and clumsily began to peel the shrimp.

The crayfish in the hand is still warm, with an attractive aroma and rich juice. The size of the crayfish was very large, and the shell was dark red and somewhat black. The shell was very hard, which caused a lot of obstacles for a novice shrimp peeler like Ji Xue.

It took Ji Xue two or three minutes to peel the first shrimp, and she peeled off the not very firm lobster meat.

This barbecue restaurant in Dongmen is also good at cooking crayfish. The back of each shrimp is opened, and the juice has entered the shrimp meat, dyeing the original white shrimp meat into reddish, salty and spicy.

Ji Xue hadn't eaten crayfish for many years.

Her father is a chef, and his cooking skills are not very high. The family used to run a small restaurant and lived well. Ji Xue has been obsessed with it since she was a child, and helping the family's restaurant cut and serve dishes can barely be called a family tradition. It was also because of this that after successive accidents at home, Ji Xue would choose to drop out of school and work in a restaurant.

Her happy childhood ended when her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer when she was 7 years old.

When her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, it was already in the middle stage and had to be removed after a year of painful and desperate chemotherapy.

Then, her father was diagnosed with diabetes. At that time, Ji Xue's mother was still undergoing chemotherapy, and his father had no time to pay attention to his condition. He had to take care of her mother while running the restaurant business. As a result, his condition deteriorated rapidly, causing complications and leading to blindness.

When Ji Xue was thirteen years old, her family was already heavily in debt. Her father's diabetes continued to worsen and had begun to develop uremia, and the blindness caused by complications has not improved.

Also in the same year, she chose to drop out of school and went to Tan's restaurant to work as an apprentice in the back kitchen, with a monthly salary of 800 including food and lodging.

The reason why she chose to go to Tan's Restaurant was simple. She was under 14 at the time, and no other shop dared to take her in. Only the owner of Tan's Restaurant, Master Tan's son, was willing to accept her. It's easy to be willing. She is young, the price is low, she has no contract, she is easy to squeeze, and she does no less work than others. She is a cheap labor force who is easy to bully.

Now she is 19 years old, and life doesn't seem to be much better for her. Her mother's breast cancer has been cured, but her father's diabetes has turned into uremia.

She was still the same as before, not daring to eat, not to wear, not to rest, not to stop.

The good things she tasted in her childhood, those snacks and snacks that only exist in her memory, such as crayfish, milk tea, lollipops, potato chips, barbecue, have faded out of her world and become her untouchable dreams .

But now, she seems to be living in a dream.

Her boss is nice, her colleagues are nice, her friends are nice, and her roommates are nice.

The touch in the hand is real, and the taste in the mouth is real.

"Axue, I see that you are tired today. It's almost eleven o'clock. Go wash up and go to bed after you finish eating. I will clean up these things. I will draw pictures later, and I will drink soup for a while. " Ji Yue said in the kitchen.

"good."

Ji Xue remembered a poem her mother taught her when she was a child.

Vote for me with papaya and reward with Qiongju.

Bandit retribution is also good forever!

Vote for me with a peach, and give me Qiongyao.

Bandit retribution is also good forever!

Vote for me with wood and plum, and return it with Qiong Jiu.

Bandit retribution is also good forever!
