In the days that followed, Qin Huai's life was very routine.
He would get up early to make breakfast, then work on snacks after the morning rush. He'd finish work at noon and start his overtime right at 1 PM.
His overtime involved some physical labor (making sticky rice cakes), then online teaching (videoing with Huang Shengli), interspersed with some fun activities (playing with the stove), and finally, taste testing the results.
Under Huang Shengli's guidance, Qin Huai's understanding of ingredients and control of heat have improved to some extent.
He's even started making duck soup.
But it's not going too well.
On the third try, Ouyang frowned as he drank a small bowl of duck soup with baked buns and jujube and yam cake, voicing his protest: "Qin Huai, can we go back to making beef soup?"
Since starting with duck soup, Ouyang has missed the days of drinking beef and pork rib soup.
"Does it still taste weird?" Qin Huai asked.
