Woman 30: I regained my life after divorce

After returning home, Zhou Sen sat down on the sofa and took out his cell phone skillfully.

"Zhou Min, I really can't help you with cooking, so I'm counting on you~"

Zhou Sen said with a silly smile.

"You can't cook? Then what do you usually eat?"

Zhou Xinyao looked at Zhou Sen in surprise and asked.

"Order takeout, or cook some dumplings or noodles or something like that."

Zhou Sen said this with a smug look on his face.

For this unkempt old bachelor, he usually just needs to have something to eat and is too lazy to cook.

Zhou Xinyao sighed, as if she was thinking of Zhou Sen’s previous bad life.

"Brother, do you want to come to the kitchen with me and learn how to cook?"

Zhou Xinyao raised her eyebrows at Zhou Sen, tempting him.

"Okay~"

Zhou Sen stood up suddenly and went to the kitchen.

"Zhou Min, do you want me to help you with something?" Zhou Sen asked excitedly.

Zhou Xinyao smiled slightly, "I just want to teach you how to cook, not to ask you to help me do anything."

"Okay, then I will learn the skills of a seven-star chef today."

Zhou Sen put on a serious look.

Zhou Xinyao smiled and took out the newly bought rice cooker.

"Can you cook rice?"

"I know a little bit. When I was in the welfare home, my aunt taught us to put in this much water."

Zhou Sen said, gesturing with his hands.

"Yes, that's right. We need to wash the rice twice, add about this much water, plug it in and press this button."

Zhou Xinyao taught step by step.

"I understand, I understand everything," Zhou Sen replied with a smile.

Zhou Xinyao rolled her eyes at Zhou Sen and said, "I think you should know everything, but you're just too lazy to do it."

Zhou Sen smiled awkwardly, "Oh, you discovered even this little secret."

Zhou Xinyao chuckled, "It's easy to make rice, but it's a little harder to cook this beef. Let's take out the beef first."

"Hmm? Then what?" Zhou Sen asked Zhou Xinyao who was in a daze.

"I'm wondering if we should split the beef. We just bought more than three pounds. We definitely can't finish it in one meal."

"Just cook them all together. You can just put them in the refrigerator and eat them slowly."

Zhou Xinyao nodded, "That's fine~"

Then she took out a larger soup bowl, put the beef in it, and held it under the faucet.

"Soak the meat in water first to remove the blood."

"Will there be no meat flavor then?" Zhou Sen asked in surprise.

"No way, let the meat soak here for a while, now we will move on to the next step."

Zhou Xinyao turned around and took out all kinds of seasonings from the cupboard and laid them out in two rows.

"Look, these are the spices I bought from the supermarket. You know them all, right? Star anise, bay leaves, cinnamon, angelica..."

Zhou Sen kept shaking his head and said, I only know onions, ginger, and garlic, I don’t know anything else.

Zhou Xinyao sighed helplessly, "Okay, you can slowly get familiar with it, it's very simple."

As she spoke, Zhou Xinyao turned the switch on the stove and prepared to light the fire.

But the switch kept clicking for a long time and the fire wouldn't start.

"Huh, that's weird? What's going on?" Zhou Xinyao muttered in confusion.

"Is it broken?"

The house Zhou Sen rented before was basically a small single room like a residential house, with no kitchen at all, let alone a range hood and stove. Therefore, he hardly used it and didn't know why he couldn't light a fire.

After trying several times, Zhou Xinyao found that there seemed to be no gas coming out, so she opened the cabinet under the stove.

I saw a blue gas tank placed under the stove.

"Wat, it's a gas tank? Is there no gas in this community?" Zhou Xinyao asked in confusion.

"Isn't it this thing? Just unscrew it here."

Zhou Sen immediately prepared to open the valve of the gas tank.

"Wait~ I'm afraid..."

Zhou Xinyao shouted immediately.

This violent reaction shocked herself.

She didn't know why she had such a big reaction, she just felt as if something terrifying had happened in her memory.

Zhou Sen smiled indifferently, "Zhou Min, are you afraid that this thing will explode?"

Zhou Xinyao nodded. "If this explodes, it will probably be like a bomb and will blow us into pieces."

"Don't worry, it won't explode. Come, let me try."

Zhou Sen immediately turned on the valve.

"Am I good?" Zhou Sen asked with a smile.

"That's great, but how come you, who can't even cook, know how to open this?"

"Because when I was in the welfare home, I saw how the uncles in the kitchen used this thing. That thing, it made a huge fire~" Zhou Sen said with his hands and feet gesticulating.

"Actually, I know how to use this thing, but I just feel inexplicably scared."

Zhou Xinyao said with lingering fear.

"It's okay. I'm here. It won't explode. Why don't you try again?"

Zhou Xinyao turned the valve carefully.

"Da da da~"

After trying for a long time, I still couldn't get the phone to work.

"What's going on? Is he out of breath?" Zhou Xinyao said with sudden realization.

"Let me take a look~"

Zhou Sen put his hand on the handle of the gas tank and shook it vigorously.

"Damn it, it's so light, it must be out of breath!"

Zhou Sen couldn't help but curse.

"What should we do? Where can we get air in it?" Zhou Xinyao asked worriedly.

"Wait a minute, I'll call the landlord."

Zhou Sen immediately called the landlord’s aunt.

This is the third time Zhou Sen has called his landlady today.

When the landlady saw that it was Zhou Sen calling, she threw the phone on the table beside her. She thought Zhou Sen called to check out.

Zhou Sen made two phone calls but couldn't get through.

"Damn it, why don't you answer my call?"

Zhou Sen shouted angrily, and then sent two voice messages to his aunt via WeChat.

Seeing the two voice messages sent by Zhou Sen, the landlady couldn't help but listen to them.

When she heard that it was about the gas tank, my aunt finally felt relieved.

She struggled to look through various pictures on her phone, and finally found a business card and sent it over.

"Xiao Zhou, this is the gas delivery phone number, just call him," aunt told Zhou Sen in voice.

"Oh, this auntie asked us to go and fill the gas together. It's so fucking annoying. If we had known earlier, we wouldn't have rented this crappy house."

Zhou Sen cursed angrily.

"What should we do now? It should be impossible to return the house, right?" Zhou Xinyao asked.

"That's definitely impossible, unless we don't want the 800 yuan anymore, but I really can't accept that!"

Zhou Xinyao sighed, "There's nothing we can do. We'll have to fill the gas ourselves."

I'll call the gas guy.
