The cannon fodder female supporting role in the misplaced life

"Okay, I just don't know why you've fallen in love with this tiring, hot job," Ma Jiajia muttered grumpily. She simply couldn't understand why anyone would enjoy staying in a stuffy kitchen, enduring the smoke and heat, just to create delicious dishes. However, for Xu Yingying, cooking is more than just a job; it's a passion.

"I don't know either. Maybe I just feel that I can integrate into the kitchen when cooking. There, I can focus on the details of each dish, feel the changes in the ingredients with my heart, and turn them into delicious works of art. No matter what happens outside, I just want to cook my own dishes." Xu Yingying said with a passion for cooking in her eyes.

Xu Yingying was immersed in the memory of Aunt Xu and Aunt Qin's family enjoying her cooking last week. She continued, "Also, when you see everyone's satisfied expressions as they eat the food you prepared, you'll know. That feeling of happiness and satisfaction is something you can only encounter. It gives me an immense sense of happiness and accomplishment, and that's what keeps me going."

Xu Yingying's words revealed a genuine passion for cooking, conveying warmth and love through delicious food. Ma Jiajia listened quietly. Although she didn't fully understand, she could sense her friend's passion for cooking. Perhaps everyone has their own passion, and Xu Yingying's passion was the kitchen, filled with the aroma of life.

Ma Jiajia had never heard such words before, because her mother always complained to her about the hard work of cooking every day, so in Ma Jiajia's mind, cooking is a hard job.

Ma Jiajia herself wasn't sure when her mother started complaining. Was it after her parents separated, or before? She hadn't noticed before. She'd thought her parents only argued occasionally at first, then daily, intensifying. Her father gradually stopped coming home, and she didn't know when it was just her and her mother.

Every day when Ma Jiajia comes home from school, the atmosphere at home makes her feel depressed.

Ma Jiajia increasingly didn't want to stay home, so starting in fifth and sixth grade, she began to come home as late as possible. At first, her mother would ask her where she went, but gradually she stopped caring about her whereabouts.

Just as Ma Jiajia's mind was spinning rapidly, she looked at Xu Yingying in front of her and asked firmly, "Can you teach me?"

"Ah?" Xu Yingying obviously did not expect Ma Jiajia to make such a request, and was a little at a loss for a moment.

Ma Jiajia took a deep breath and asked again seriously: "Can you teach me how to cook?"

Xu Yingying finally understood, but she still felt a little puzzled. She frowned and asked, "This? How do you want me to teach you?"

Ma Jiajia smiled, revealing two deep dimples, and answered cheerfully, "It's very simple. Just tell me what to do. For example, what ingredients to put in first, and then what seasonings..."

Xu Yingying shook her head helplessly, thinking it couldn't be that simple. This was a skill that required long-term study and practice. However, she thought that since Ma Jiajia had suggested it, she could start by explaining the cooking steps and precautions in detail.

So Xu Yingying decided to patiently teach Ma Jiajia some basic knowledge. She smiled and said to Ma Jiajia, "So what dish do you want to learn to cook?"

Ma Jiajia blinked, thought for a moment, then shook her head blankly and said, "Ah? I don't know either."

Seeing Ma Jiajia's carefree attitude, Xu Yingying couldn't help but laugh. She knew this question might be difficult for a beginner to answer, but she still hoped that Ma Jiajia would seriously consider the dishes she wanted to learn. After all, only with a clear goal can one learn and improve better.

"Then what do you like to eat?" Xu Yingying decided to ask in a different way, perhaps Ma Jiajia would be able to think of the answer more easily.

"What do I like to eat?" Ma Jiajia heard Xu Yingying's question and returned to her own thoughts. Chen Xiaofen beside her took the opportunity to ask: "Can I learn it together?"

At this time, the other three looked at her in surprise.

"Is it not possible?" Facing the gazes of the three people, Chen Xiaofen immediately looked back at them and asked.

"Row."

"Row."

"Row."

The three of them said in unison that they felt that they should say no and they felt like they would be killed by Chen Xiaofen's eyes in the next second.

"Sister Xiaofen, what do you want to learn? Sister Xi, do you want to learn too?" Since we are all herding cattle, it doesn't matter if one herds cattle, two herd cattle, or even three herd cattle together. Xu Yingying thought so.

"Me?" Yao Chenxi hadn't considered learning to cook herself. But now, not only Ma Jiajia but also Chen Xiaofen wanted to learn. Wouldn't it be disunited if she was the only one who didn't learn? But she didn't have any ideas. Yao Chenxi was also at a loss as to what to do with Ma Jiajia and Chen Xiaofen's actions.

Seeing that it was getting late, Xu Yingying saw that the three of them were still thinking, so she said to them, "Why don't you think about it carefully first? We still have classes these days anyway. By then, we won't have a chance to practice until the weekend."

"Okay!" Ma Jiajia replied.

"Yeah!" Chen Xiaofen replied.

"Then I'll go back and think about it." Yao Chenxi was still unsure whether she should study with them.

"Then I'll go back to the classroom first?" Xu Yingying thought, thinking it would be better to go back and rest before going to class. It was really too tiring, the heroine's every moment was occupied by the plot. But this time, Xu Yingying was thinking, the heroine in the original book couldn't even cook, was she taking the plot too far?

Thinking about it, Xu Yingying returned to the classroom. Sitting in her seat, she began to observe her classmates in the classroom. After all, not many people stayed in school at noon, but the girl she had just met in the cafeteria should also be one of those who stayed at noon.

Thinking of this, she realized that the girl sitting in the second row should be the same girl she had just met in the cafeteria.

At this time, Xu Yingying thought she could ask Xiaowu what he had heard during this period.

"Xiaowu, what did you hear just now?"

"Ah? Host, you are back to the classroom too?" Xiao Wu immediately returned to his post after hearing the host's call.

"Well, tell me what information you got just now." Xu Yingying asked Xiaowu again.

"She didn't meet anyone on the way back, so she didn't say anything," Xiaowu replied.

"No way, have you been waiting here foolishly all this time?" Xu Yingying asked.
