At noon in the canteen, a colleague sat next to us with a plate.

After a natural chat, she asked, Do you usually cook by yourself?

We were a little surprised. Yes, of course we made it ourselves.

I asked her, what about you? Don't you usually cook?

She said she was too late to do it at night.

I asked, the weekend is ok. It's fun to go to the vegetable market.

She said she didn't want to cook either, mainly because I didn't like leftovers.

Then we didn't know how to continue, so we had to talk about the food in the canteen.

There is a saying that "one can eat well". I think many people have heard of it, but this sentence is often just talk, and I am afraid there is not much that can be done.

I still remember when my brother first started working, he called me to complain about eating. Having been eating in the canteen, he suddenly didn't know how to eat and asked me what I was doing.

I'm a little puzzled by his question. I quickly recalled my life and "taught" him several emergency measures.

At the beginning of my life, there will be a period of confusion.

I still remember that when I first started renting a house, the first problem I had to face was drinking water. When living in a collective apartment, it is the same as at school. I carry a thermos bottle downstairs to fetch water and provide hot water 24 hours a day without worrying. But when you start your own life, it turns out that a cup of hot water is so rare.

At first, it was cooked with hot water, inspired by high school students who rented houses outside the school. Interestingly, I burned two of them in a few days ... so the boiling scheme was abandoned.

Then I went to the supermarket and chose an electric kettle. I still use the electric kettle to boil water, and finally solved a life problem.

The first house was rented for three years. When I lived in the second year, the girl in the next room said that we had natural gas in the kitchen. Unexpectedly, we always used an electric kettle.

What is particularly strange is that there was no idea of going to the kitchen to boil a pot of water at that time. Accustomed to the convenience of electric kettle, never used natural gas to boil water.

Remembering that the kitchen was still working, I began to try cooking.

In fact, I cooked for a while in the summer vacation of junior high school, but this skill will disappear with time. So everything has to start from scratch.

Learn to cook shredded potatoes, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, braised eggplant, scrambled eggs with cucumbers ... Without a smartphone or application, just think back to what you did at home or search the menu online. On weekends, my roommate and I make small wonton or jiaozi. Sometimes I buy a bunch of vegetables and eat hot pot together on weekends.

Gradually, it was practiced. Thinking about what to eat and trying some new dishes every day. When the weather is hot or lazy, there are some lazy ways to cook faster food. Even if you don't cook, you will try to eat well.

I always feel that I have to eat well anyway. Even if you can't cook, you should eat carefully. Therefore, even if I am too lazy to cook, I will find a decent shop, study how to match the recipes, and then enjoy a meal slowly-I never feel how embarrassed or pitiful it is to go out to eat alone. It is a pity to eat alone for fear of being laughed at. It is very interesting for a person to study the menu and choose his favorite dishes. The only inconvenience is that he can't order too much.

When eating with friends, we will also carefully study the menu and everyone's taste, and try to match meat and vegetables to make the meal delicious.

Nothing, just because I always feel like eating well.

5.

Therefore, I never liked the word "forget to eat and sleep". Maybe sometimes I am too busy to have a good meal because of something, but this is not a "habit" worth promoting. Even if you have a lot of things to do, you should stop to eat, replenish your body with vitality and let your brain rest. Then, you can gain the strength to keep fighting. A person who can't take care of his health may not go far in life and career.

I called my brother the other day and he said he was cooking porridge. I was very happy after the accident.
