"No! This is too expensive, I can't take it!" Jiang Yang pushed it back.

"It's not much money. Besides, I've eaten a lot of food with you, didn't I pay either? Now you don't want anything I give you!" Meng Wanqiu said.

"No, that's incomparable! How much is a few dishes worth?" Jiang Yang shook his head and said.

"This is the value in your heart, but those dishes are much more expensive in my heart than this watch." Meng Wanqiu said.

"But...but, don't you stay and help every time?" Jiang Yang said.

"Does you have to calculate so clearly between you and me?" Meng Wanqiu said angrily.

"But..." Jiang Yang wanted to say something else.

Meng Wanqiu interrupted directly: "Nothing, but if you don't accept it, I won't dare to come to your place for dinner in the future. Or I will pay for one meal next time."

Jiang Yang was a little confused. Under the threat of Meng Wanqiu's vision, he still accepted the watch.

At the same time, Jiang Yang was also thinking about what to send back, at least the value should not be too low.

"Put it on and see if it's appropriate." Meng Wanqiu urged.

Jiang Yang smiled helplessly, took it out and put it on his hand.

The strap is metal, but the design is stylish and not old-fashioned.

"I originally wanted to use a leather strap for you, but you are in the kitchen every day, and the leather strap is easy to damage, so I used a metal strap for you." Meng Wanqiu said.

At the same time, he picked up Jiang Yang's hand and looked around.

"Well, it's quite appropriate to wear."

Jiang Yang's hand was held by Meng Wanqiu's hand, and the temperature from Meng Wanqiu's hand made Jiang Yang feel panicked.

He quickly pulled it back: "It looks pretty, thank you, squad leader."

Meng Wanqiu shook her head: "Don't be so polite. I thought about it for a long time and didn't know what to give you. Later, I thought that you must look at the time when cooking, so I gave you a watch."

"Thank you!" Jiang Yang said again.

"Nothing. OK, are you busy now?" Meng Wanqiu changed the topic.

Jiang Yang looked at the kitchen and said decisively: "Not busy!"

"Then... are you going out for a walk together?" Meng Wanqiu said.

"Of course, I'll tell you that I'm almost rusted and I've wanted to go out for a walk." Jiang Yang said.

"Let's go."

"Um."

Jiang Yang did not notice that the watch on Meng Wanqiu's hand had been changed, and the style was very similar to his.

This is also what Jiang Yang has not studied watches, otherwise he should be able to see them.

...

The two of them went out for a walk, but there was nothing to do.

I've been at this time and don't want to go shopping in the malls or anything else. Is it interesting to be shopping on the street?

Finally, the two of them went to the vegetable market.

Jiang Yang came to buy ingredients for boiled water and cabbage, but it was not made tonight.

Tonight, Jiangyang plans to eat hot pot.

Just in the store, I ate with Meng Wanqiu.

After some purchases, Jiang Yang brought in two large bags of ingredients.

The main reason is that Meng Wanqiu wants to eat a lot of dishes, and Jiang Yang is not stingy and buys whatever he wants.

Anyway, if you can't finish it, you can keep it.

When I returned to the store, it was already six o'clock in the evening.

If it were normal, there were many customers coming now.

"Oh! I forgot that you still have to open a store. Let's go and open the store door now." Meng Wanqiu said.

"Well, I'll have a rare rest if I don't open tonight," said Jiang Yang.

I completely forgot the ingredients he prepared at noon.

When eating hot pot, you use an induction cooker.

As for pots, it is easy to find. Jiangyang does not lack pots here.

"Squad leader, are you eating clear soup or red soup?" Jiang Yang asked.

"Of course it's red soup." Meng Wanqiu said.

Jiang Yang nodded and went to the kitchen.

He plans to make the pot bottom by himself.

Use rapeseed oil, bean paste, glutinous rice cake chili, dried chili with spices to make the bottom of the pot.

What Jiang Yang did was not too complicated, he was just a simple task.

After all, the pot bottom you bought outside can easily cause diarrhea.

After the pot bottom was made, Jiangyang began to cut vegetables and process the ingredients.

The beef in hot pot should be cut thinly, so it is cooked quickly and easy to chew.

There are also tripe, which need to be cleaned repeatedly.

Meng Wanqiu was not idle either, and helped Jiangyang wash vegetables, load vegetables, etc.

It was busy that the two of them didn't have a meal until nine o'clock in the evening.

"The bottom of this pot is not as delicious as the one outside." Jiang Yang said.

"No, I think it's delicious!" Meng Wanqiu said.

Jiang Yang smiled, and the taste was indeed not as good as that outside.

After all, the hot pot that others open stores naturally can't taste too bad.

The pot base made by Jiang Yang himself cannot be said to be inferior to those outside, at least some delicious hot pots are worse than those.

But the best is clean, hygienic and fresh.

Steaming hot pot always makes people more excited.

The chat was even more enjoyable.

………

After dinner, Meng Wanqiu didn't stay long before going home.

Jiang Yang watched Meng Wanqiu leave, lowered his head, touched the watch on his hand, and showed a smile.

At the same time, Chen Zuyi is still busy in the kitchen.

"Grandpa, how about you try it!" Chen Zuyi said.

Chen Quanzhou picked up a chopstick: "The temperature is almost the right one, but the seasoning is good."

Chen Zuyi also tasted it: "But I think the seasoning is not amazing enough."

"Why?" Chen Quanzhou asked with a smile.

"It just feels that although there is nothing wrong with it, I always feel that it is a little bad." Chen Zuyi said.

"Then you can do it according to your own ideas." Chen Quanzhou said.

Chen Zuoyi was a little embarrassed and said, "But... I don't know if I'm thinking right."

"Hahaha, what's wrong? Who's right? Who's wrong? But they're just their own ideas. The dishes should still be delicious. Even if the flavors are different, that's right." Chen Quanzhou said.

"I don't want you to think, I want me to think?" Chen Zuoyi said.

"What?" Chen Quanzhou was stunned.

"Nothing, a buzzword on the Internet." Chen Zuyi said.

Chen Quanzhou shook his head: "I don't understand the popular sayings of you young people. But it's not that absolute. You have to listen to other people's opinions, but you can't just copy them. You have to have some of your own things. Just like the Mapo tofu we passed down from our family, does the taste of your grandfather make the same as the ones made by our ancestors? It's different. But do you think the taste of my making is worse than the ones made by our predecessors? That's not necessarily. If I copy and force the cooking methods passed down by our predecessors, I can't become what I am now. In general, the dishes change with the changes of people, not static. Those unchanging dishes have long disappeared from history."

After being silent for a long time, Chen Zuyi said.

"I get it, grandpa."
