He got up, dressed, and Lu Yun followed him into the kitchen. She didn't help, simply tagging along behind Shitou, keeping him company with chatter. As they talked, they picked up the conversation where they had left off earlier.
"You'll have to help me build a wooden rack too, a tiered one, each tier only needing to be as wide as a palm, and ten centimeters high is enough, though it can be longer..."
Thinking it over, Lu Yun felt that explaining it to Shitou this way wasn't very clear, so she added, "Explaining it like this doesn't make it clear, I'll draw a diagram for you later."
"What's that going to be used for?"
Tied with the apron Lu Yun used, Shitou poured oil into the pan and cracked two washed eggs into it. Then he turned the induction cooker to the lowest setting.
The reason for his meticulousness, even remembering to wash the shells of the eggs, was mainly because he was cooking for Lu Yun. Otherwise, if it had been just for him, would he have been so particular?
