Chapter 52: 【052】90s cook 52
"Of course, marrying Cao Yuan wasn’t without its benefits; at the very least, it would settle the household registration for her and her daughter.
But Tangyuan herself was unwilling to bend just for the sake of a residence permit. After all, she was from the future—how could she not manage to secure a house through her efforts?
Cao Yuan said her self-reliance carried an implicit meaning: she didn’t need a man and could take care of her family on her own?
After all, hadn’t she raised her child without a man these past years and still managed to earn a living for them?
Fortunately, she was wise enough not to be blinded by immediate benefits.
Indeed, Aunt Wang’s help was mostly because she wanted to match-make her with Cao Yuan and had spared no effort for that reason.
But now that she had rejected her son, whether Aunt Wang would continue to help as before was uncertain. However, Mingxia was not ungrateful—Aunt Wang had helped solve her daughter’s kindergarten problem, and whether or not she could solve the primary school issue in the future, Mingxia would treat her with sincerity.
But the principal’s words today also prompted her to think a lot. She wanted to get both her Chef and nutritionist certificates. She needed to inquire about the relevant information and plan her time accordingly.
Gong Mingxia’s five years of toiling around the country had made her skilled at Big Pot Dish, also thanks to the great cooks before her. Still, this had little to do with her own capabilities. Since taking over, she had been experimenting with new recipes based on the flavors and cookbooks from her memory. It must be said that Gong Mingxia did have a certain innate talent for food sensitivity and control.
In her past life, she had been a bookworm—busy like a spinning top with work after graduating, barely leaving the house except for work, relying on online shopping for food, clothing, housing, and transportation. Her only entertainment was probably reading novels. Besides that, she really had nothing else to offer.
Back in school, she was busy with studies; at work, she was busy with her job. She seldom did chores at home—her parents took care of everything—making her a true Princess. To be honest, faced with so many challenging situations right after transmigrating, Tangyuan had thought about giving up. But compared to life itself, this hardship and tiredness really amounted to nothing.
After collecting herself, Gong Mingxia immediately started washing dishes and pots back at home, which was quite a mess. It would probably take an hour and a half just to sort it all out.
"Mom, let me help you." Mingxia did not refuse her daughter’s kind offer. She arranged three large basins in front of her, poured clean water into one basin, then used a brush to scrape the remains of food into a nearby trashcan before starting to wash them with dishwashing liquid. After the dishes were clean, they would then be set aside in the next basin for Xiao Xiao to wash again with a dishcloth. Finally, they would be placed in the third basin with clean water.
Mother and daughter worked together on the assembly line wonderfully. Gong Mingxia was to finish up. By the time they were done, it was already past five o’clock.
Glancing at the time, it was dinner time again. They had vegetables at home, so there was no need to go out to buy more.
Cao Yuan had said before leaving that they would not come over for dinner that evening because his son had come over for a rare visit, so they planned to dine out.
Naturally, Mingxia was relieved. Dinner would be just for the two of them. She stewed a bowl of egg custard for Xiao Xiao and made scallion pancakes for her.
As for herself, she boiled some simple green vegetable egg noodles. After dinner, having cleaned up the house, she rode the tricycle to the Market with Xiao Xiao.
The reason for heading to the market at night was to see if there were any discounted vegetables. As long as they were unblemished, a bit wilted wasn’t a big deal—they were still edible, right?"
