Chapter 125 Tomato Scrambled Eggs

Ouyang Mengmian learned how to cook because she was forced to learn it after leaving the Ouyang family to make a living. Because she had always been spoiled, she knew almost nothing when she first left the Ouyang family.

Ouyang Mengmian knew that people need to eat. After leaving the protection of her family and losing her previous favorable material conditions, the balance in her wallet became tight. She faced unprecedented challenges. In order to survive, she had to start learning some basic life skills, the most important of which was cooking.

At the beginning, Ouyang Mengmian was very unfamiliar with everything in the kitchen. She didn't know how to choose fresh ingredients, how to cut vegetables without hurting her hands, let alone how to control the heat and the proportion of seasonings. However, she was not discouraged by this. On the contrary, it was precisely because she had never set foot in the kitchen that she was more curious and determined.

She bought cooking books and studied them carefully, and occasionally learned to cook by following some recipes on the Internet. In the kitchen, Ouyang Mengmian practiced basic skills such as cutting vegetables, frying vegetables, and stewing soup over and over again. Her fingers were cut by kitchen knives and burned by hot oil, but she never gave up.

She knows that these are the hardships that must be experienced in the process of learning to cook. Learning to cook is not only to meet the basic needs of survival, but also to improve one's quality of life.

Gradually, Ouyang Mengmian's cooking skills improved significantly. She was able to make a few simple home-cooked dishes. Although the taste was not as good as that of a professional chef, it was enough to satisfy her own needs. Scrambled eggs with tomatoes was one of the dishes she could make, which she considered to be the best.

When Su Jingsi saw Ouyang Mengmian stand up and walk towards the kitchen, he followed her slowly.

Ouyang Mengmian quickly walked to the stove, turned on the gas valve, put the wok on the fire to heat it up, and poured in some cooking oil. When the oil temperature gradually rose, she gently poured the prepared egg liquid into the wok. With a crisp "sizzle" sound, the egg liquid quickly rippled in the hot oil and gradually solidified into a huge, tender and delicious egg block.

Ouyang Mengmian picked up the spatula and kept stirring the eggs until the large eggs were broken up and the surface of the eggs showed an attractive golden color. Then he immediately turned off the fire.

Then, she placed the egg cubes on a plate beside her and poured out the excess oil, leaving only the right amount of oil at the bottom. Then, she turned on the fire again and carefully poured the chopped tomatoes into the pot. With a pleasant stir-frying sound, the tomatoes came into close contact with the bottom of the pot, slowly emitting a rich tomato aroma.

When she saw the tomatoes in the pot were fried until soft and juicy, Ouyang Mengmian quickly poured the previously fried eggs back into the pot to blend them perfectly with the tomatoes. Then, she added appropriate amounts of salt, sugar and other seasonings to season it.

When she put the fried tomato and eggs on the plate, she finally grabbed a handful of juicy green onions and sprinkled them on the red and yellow dish, adding a touch of fresh color and aroma to the whole dish.

Ouyang Mengmian's skillful and elegant cooking movements were as smooth as flowing water, and every step was just right, like a gorgeous performance. This scene made Su Jingsi, who was standing next to him, stare wide-eyed and marvel in his heart.

He never expected that Ouyang Mengmian, a woman who seemed to have never done housework, could actually cook such delicious scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

Su Jingsi couldn't help but give Ouyang Mengmian a thumbs up and praised sincerely: "Awesome! Mengmian! I didn't expect you have such superb cooking skills!" His eyes revealed deep admiration, and it seemed that he had a new understanding of Ouyang Mengmian.

Ouyang Mengmian enjoyed Su Jingsi's praise. She had never expected that a former "kitchen novice" like herself would one day be praised for her cooking skills. She was naturally very happy.

But because he only knew how to cook a few dishes, he still felt a little guilty. Therefore, Ouyang Mengmian did not dare to enjoy Su Jingsi's praise too much. He just said that it was time to eat and handed the plate of fried tomato and eggs to Su Jingsi.
