Traveling through the 80s, I picked up an actor

Chapter 7: Show your cooking skills and show your sincerity

As soon as Li Mubai left, Jiang Li began to think about how to make a living.

In fact, she had also dreamed of becoming rich overnight by relying on her future information.

But she really didn't know much about business finance. If she was asked to think about what to invest in these days, apart from real estate, she really had no idea. What's more, she came with nothing, and even needed Li Mubai's money to buy groceries. It would take her a long time to make her first pot of gold.

The most fatal thing is that she has no ID card!

The ID card is really a headache. Without it, she is not even a third-class citizen here and could be sent back to the mainland at any moment.

Jiang Li thought about it, but couldn't come up with any good ideas. Finally, she decided to catch up on some sleep. After all, health is the capital of revolution, and worrying herself to death is useless. And since Li Mubai said he would help her find a solution, she should do a good job of logistics support during this period.

Jiang Li slept until about three in the afternoon. After a good sleep, she felt much more energetic. Seeing that it was getting late, she hurried out to buy groceries.

After walking around outside for half a day, Jiang Li had already gotten a pretty good idea of ​​the surrounding area. She knew exactly where the bus stops were, how to get on the bus, and what the prices were.

Of course, most of the information comes from the old ladies selling vegetables on the roadside.

There is a road nearby, and along the road there are uncles and aunties selling vegetables with shoulder poles. What they sell are vegetables and fruits grown at home, which are fresh and cheap.

Jiang Li majored in dubbing in college. When she was studying, she studied various languages. Because many TV dramas and movies were cross-strait collaborations, Cantonese was a language she focused on. At that time, she would turn on Hong Kong TV whenever she had free time and watch almost all the dramas she could. She even went to a Cantonese teacher for lessons and learned the pronunciation methods, intonations, and even some modal particles and habits.

Now, the skills she had worked so hard to learn were finally putting to good use. When Jiang Li spoke Cantonese to the old ladies, she sounded like a native local.

No wonder they say language is the best stepping stone to integrate into a place, plus Jiang Li is very friendly. When she was about to go home, the vegetable seller gave her some green onions and two eggs from her own chickens, which made her very happy.

The sun sets in the west, and the afterglow spreads out.

Jiang Li was bathing in the warm afterglow, carrying two bags of vegetables in her hands, humming a song as she staggered towards home. When she passed by the newsstand, she bought a newspaper of the day, ready to gossip... oh no, to learn about the current hot topics.

Jiang Li went out empty-handed, but when she returned home she had a chicken in her left hand, a fish in her right hand, and several bags full of meat, eggs, milk, fruits and vegetables, so full that her hands were about to break.

Yesterday she only made egg noodles for Li Mubai, which was too plain. Today she bought fish and chicken, and she had to let Li Mubai see her cooking skills and make him feel that it was definitely worthwhile to take her in!

After returning home, Jiang Li sorted the purchased ingredients, put those that would not be eaten today into the refrigerator, and then began to process the ingredients.

Jiang Li is a native of Suzhou. Squirrel fish is a famous Suzhou dish and also her mother's specialty. During the summer vacation when she graduated from high school, Jiang Li's mother was very foresighted and took her to training. She taught Jiang Li some home-cooked dishes or family specialties, so that she would have some cooking skills after she goes out to study or work, so that she would not have to eat takeout and drink gutter oil every day.

So... other people's summer vacations in high school were spent eating, drinking and having fun, but Jiang Li's summer vacation in her senior year of high school was spent at home cutting ginger and chopping meat, slicing fish and killing chickens. Thinking back on it now, it's so sad.

But I didn’t expect that my mother’s wisdom was so far-reaching. Who would have thought that one day she could use this little cooking skill to please the landlord!

If the parents truly love their child, they will have long-term plans for him.

Jiang Li was able to take root in Hong Kong, a place she was unfamiliar with, and half of the credit goes to her mother.

While she was daydreaming for a while, Jiang Li had already cleaned up all the ingredients and prepared everything that needed to be prepared. She also put the rice in the rice cooker and just had to wait for Li Mubai to come back to start the fire.

The underdeveloped communication system is indeed a problem these days. If it were the 21st century, you could just send a WeChat message or make a phone call to find out what time you would be home.

But now she can only wait for Li Mubai to come back.

When Jiang Li looked up at the wall clock for the fifth time, she heard a creaking sound at the door and a few vigorous yet steady footsteps. She knew that Li Mubai was back.

Jiang Li jumped up excitedly: "You're back! Then I'll go cook!"

Li Mubai walked in and asked in surprise: "You haven't eaten yet?"

Jiang Li replied: "No! I'll wait for you to come back and eat together!"

Li Mubai frowned slightly: "Don't wait for me next time. I don't know what time I can be back."

Jiang Li said with a smile while tying her apron: "Why not wait for you? Food tastes better when we eat together! It's so boring to eat alone..."

Hearing this, Li Mubai, who was taking off his coat, paused. Yes! How boring it is to eat alone! He has been alone for too long and doesn't want to eat and sleep alone anymore.

"Why don't you take a shower first? You'll be ready to eat after you're done."

Li Mubai sweated a lot at work today and felt sticky all over. He really wanted to take a shower first, so Li Mubai took his clothes and went into the bathroom.

Twenty minutes later, Li Mubai came out of the bathroom and smelled a fragrant aroma as soon as he opened the bathroom door.

Li Mubai walked towards the kitchen while wiping his hair and found that several dishes were already on the table, while Jiang Li was still busy doing something in the kitchen.

Hanging the hair towel around his neck, Li Mubai walked into the kitchen.

The kitchen was filled with fragrance. The red gas stove fire licked the bottom of the pot. Jiang Li was stirring the pot up and down with a spatula, and the aroma of food was magically emerging from her hands.

The moon was already at its zenith, and the clear moonlight shone thinly onto Jiang Li through the glass window.

At this moment, Li Mubai felt that Jiang Li's color was golden, and her scent was the most common yet precious scent of fireworks in this world. Just looking at her and smelling her made him feel comforted.

Jiang Li turned around and saw Li Mubai entering the kitchen, and she couldn't help but be infatuated with him for a few seconds. Li Mubai always amazed her at unexpected moments, such as at this moment, he was wearing pajamas, lazy and casual, with wet hair hanging on his forehead, which made him look more distinct and handsome. Although he didn't dress up deliberately, this lazy and messy beauty was more eye-catching.

Jiang Li held her heart, waving her hand to drive him out: "The kitchen is full of fumes, you shouldn't stay here after taking a shower, go sit outside and wait for a while, you can eat soon."

Li Mubai sniffed gently and smelled a sweet and fragrant scent.

This could be a taste of home.
