做早饭

A lot of people are busy in the morning and have no time for breakfast. But me, I make my own breakfast every day. It's one little thing in my day that I really love.

I'm Xiao Yue. You might already know, I run a little dessert shop. But every day, before I go open the shop, first, at home, I make myself some breakfast. Today, I'll show you. I'll speak slowly, so you can listen and learn Chinese at the same time.

At six thirty in the morning, I get up. The kitchen is quiet, and outside the window, the sky is just getting light. The morning sun shines in, and the kitchen suddenly feels warm.

First I go feed my cat, Xiao Hua. Every morning she waits for me in the kitchen, meowing. Once I give her some food, she stops crying, and starts eating happily.

After feeding Xiao Hua, I wash my hands, then open the window. The morning air is so fresh. I love this quiet time, all by myself, slowly making breakfast.

I keep my breakfast simple. I don't like too much fuss in the morning. One egg, a cup of soy milk, a little fruit, for me, that's enough.

First I make the egg. I turn on the stove and put a little oil in the pan. Then I crack the egg into the pan. It sizzles in the pan, such a nice sound.

The smell of the egg slowly fills the air. I like my egg a little soft. In a minute or two, the egg is done. I put it on a plate.

Then I warm up a steamed bun. Steamed buns are a breakfast many Chinese people love. White, soft, and smells so good. I put the bun in the pot and just warm it up.

I also pour a cup of soy milk. Soy milk is made from beans, warm and really tasty. Many Chinese people drink soy milk in the morning. Have you ever tried it?

Last, I grab a banana, and wash a few little pieces of fruit, and put them in a small bowl. Now my breakfast has some color.

Look, my breakfast is ready: an egg, a steamed bun, a cup of soy milk, and a little fruit. Very simple, but I love it.

I put it all on a plate and carry it to the table. I sit by the window and eat slowly. In the morning, I'm never in a hurry.

I eat and look out the window at the same time. Outside, a few little birds are singing in the tree. The weather is nice, today is sunny. A morning like this makes me feel so comfortable.

In the morning, I don't look at my phone. I like to eat my breakfast in peace and quiet. It's the start of the day, and I want to take it slow, not rush it.

Xiao Hua finishes eating and comes over to my feet. I give her a little pat on the head. With her beside me, even on my own, I feel happy.

Actually, breakfast is really important. Eat well in the morning, and you have energy all day. Without breakfast, I get really hungry before noon, and have no energy to get things done.

Making your own breakfast has another good side: it's clean, and cheap. Buying it outside is a little expensive. Making it at home, I know exactly what I'm eating, and that feels good.

After breakfast, I go wash the dishes. I wash them and listen to a little music. The plate, the cup, the little bowl, all clean in no time. The kitchen is spotless again.

After the dishes, I say to Xiao Hua: Xiao Hua, I'm off to work now, be a good girl at home. She looks at me, as if she understands.

I change my clothes and put on my bag. Breakfast eaten, dishes washed, I feel really good. Now, I can happily go open my little shop.

Making breakfast seems like such a small thing. But every morning, making it slowly, eating it slowly, makes me feel really happy.

And you? Do you eat breakfast in the morning? What do you like to eat in the morning? Bread, or eggs? Next time, get up a little earlier too, and make yourself some breakfast, okay?

Alright, I need to go open my shop. Thank you for making breakfast with me this morning. I hope you eat well today too, and have a wonderful morning. See you next time!
