My wife didn’t prepare a particularly sumptuous meal for me, maybe because neither of us are foodies and we don’t have that much interest in food.
The most vivid memory I have is when I cooked braised pork and mixed cucumber shreds.
Because I thought the braised pork he cooked was quite delicious, I was particularly impressed.
My wife's cooking doesn't taste very good, and I usually don't use him to cook. I feel like it's a waste of ingredients when he cooks.
Even scrambled eggs can be cooked well. Once I made a dish of scrambled eggs with melon slices, but the cucumbers were not cooked and the eggs were mushy. The soul of the dish was mushy and it was inedible. Later, I stopped letting him cook.
But the braised pork that time was extremely delicious. Later I asked him how he made it, and he said he followed the recipe after reading it.
Except for this time, he usually helps me cook during holidays, but he never cooks at other times.
One time I was sick and couldn't cook, so he seemed to have learned the lesson and bought a lot of semi-finished products from outside, and then went home and processed them himself.
The ingredients have been prepared, he just needs to stir-fry it in the pot.
After this experience, he said that the next time he cooks, he can just buy semi-finished products from outside and then process them at home.
He did this once for my birthday. He ordered a lot of prepared seafood online, then went to the restaurant to order a few dishes and put them on the plate.
I also prepared a large tray, put all the seafood on the tray, heated the pan with oil and poured the juice on it, and made a plate of seafood masterpiece.
Although he didn't make it with his own hands, I was quite touched that he had such intention.
The most important thing is that no ingredients are wasted. These things have been processed by others, and the taste is much better than what he made.
This time must be the most sumptuous meal he has prepared for me. I think it doesn’t matter whether I cook it myself or not, as long as I have the heart to do it.
If you're like Li Ziqi and can cook, of course you can cook it yourself. If you don't know how to cook, you can think of other ways.
