"I didn't realize how hard it would be to cook a meal daily."

My eldest daughter has been home for a long time and is complaining.

Daughter: "I should have had more basic cooking skills and a better variety of dishes."

At first glance, it seems that we are talking about teenagers' "examinations," but the topic we are talking about is "cooking.

Me: "Yes, I also regret that I had so many part-time jobs, such as "cram school" and "tutoring" when I was a college student.

Daughter:"？"

In light of my future retirement, etc., our family's life can't be easier.

"Can you make one dish for 50 yen?". We must be trained and prepared to keep saying "Yes.
