Gu Chengze walked to the kitchen. In the afternoon, he had asked Auntie Xu to buy some tomatoes and eggs. These ingredients were the most important because they were Bai Sheng's favorite. He calmly put on his apron and started washing the vegetables.
Bai Sheng had seen many people cook, and the one who left the deepest impression had to be her aunt, Ye Yuqin.
The small kitchen was always filled with oil and smoke.
Ye Yuqin was a person with a lot of negative energy. Her husband was not an ambitious man career-wise, and the family budget was tight.
Every time she cooked, she could be heard nagging as she cut the vegetables. She would be either criticizing her husband's inadequate salary that could hardly cover their expenses or complaining about how much money she had lost playing mahjong at the neighbor's house.
That endless nagging, coupled with the sound of chopping vegetables, always made people feel inexplicably irritated.
