Learning to Cook

Living alone for the first time, and a dish that goes wrong twice.

Trying and result: shì yí shì, the result complements hǎo and cuò, and bǎ for doing something to an object (bǎ cài xǐ gānjìng). Kitchen words from the vocabulary lists come back in a story.

上(shàng)大学(dàxué)以后(yǐhòu),我(wǒ)第一次(dìyīcì)一个人(yígerén)住(zhù)。为了(wèile)省钱(shěngqián),我(wǒ)决定(juédìng)自己(zìjǐ)学(xué)做饭(zuòfàn)。

我(wǒ)先(xiān)试(shì)了(le)试(shì)最(zuì)简单(jiǎndān)的(de)西红柿(xīhóngshì)炒(chǎo)鸡蛋(jīdàn)。可是(kěshì)第一次(dìyīcì)盐(yán)放(fàng)得(de)太(tài)多(duō)了(le),菜(cài)咸(xián)得(de)不(bù)能(néng)吃(chī)。

第(dì)二(èr)次(cì)我(wǒ)少(shǎo)放(fàng)了(le)一点儿(yìdiǎnr)盐(yán),可是(kěshì)鸡蛋(jīdàn)炒(chǎo)得(de)太(tài)久(jiǔ),又(yòu)不(bù)好吃(hǎochī)了(le)。

我(wǒ)只好(zhǐhǎo)给(gěi)妈妈(māma)打电话(dǎdiànhuà)。妈妈(māma)笑(xiào)着(zhe)说(shuō):“你(nǐ)先(xiān)把(bǎ)鸡蛋(jīdàn)炒(chǎo)好(hǎo),拿(ná)出(chū)来(lái),再(zài)炒(chǎo)西红柿(xīhóngshì),最后(zuìhòu)放(fàng)在(zài)一起(yìqǐ)。”

第(dì)三(sān)次(cì)终于(zhōngyú)成功(chénggōng)了(le)。我(wǒ)请(qǐng)了(le)两(liǎng)个(ge)同学(tóngxué)来(lái)吃饭(chīfàn),他们(tāmen)都(dōu)说(shuō)很(hěn)好吃(hǎochī)。现在(xiànzài)我(wǒ)每个(měige)星期(xīngqī)都(dōu)做(zuò)两(liǎng)三(sān)次(cì)饭(fàn)。
