Boiling Water

479 views. 2011-10-28 20:25 |

I just wanted to boil water to drink. After I turned on my induction cooker, I chatted with my friends and completely forgot my boiling water. After an hour, the water was nearly gone from the pan, then I suddenly remembered I was still boiling my water. I did this twice. It was too dangerous and a real waste of electricity.

   Su Shi did this before and hence invented Dongpo Pork(东坡肉). There is a tale that once during his free time, Su Dongpo decided to make stewed pork. Then an old friend visited him in the middle of the cooking and challenged him to a game of Chinese chess. Su had totally forgotten of the stew during the game until a very fragrant smell came out from his kitchen and he was reminded of it. Thus Dongpo's Pork, a famous dish in Chinese cuisine, was created by accident.

   I’m not Su Shi and can’t invent Zhuwen Water(主文水) either. So I swore there was never going to be a third time. If it happened again, I would run up against a wall until a big bump existed on my head.

I must be careful from now on or else I myself will turn into Dongpo meat. I can't say pork, after all, I'm not a pig.

Love your humor. You sure taste better than Dongpo.

That depends on your taste. Dongpo’s meat is chewy, mine is tender, after all, I’m younger than Dongpo for a thousand years.

You're right. It's not too late to mend the fold after a sheep is lost.

If your English is poor, then George W Bush would be an illiterate.
