Chapter 94: Just a Chef
Hong Shiqiong had no choice but to let her think for herself.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Butler Xue called and said that the young master had a good appetite at noon and could cook dinner in the evening, with light and low-salt dishes being fine.
Ye Shuyi agreed, and at the same time thought to herself that she would resign after his injury healed.
After realizing her feelings, she really couldn't get along with Chen Nanfeng normally.
The evening dishes were steamed pork ribs with yam, pickled fish, steamed eggs and stir-fried kale, served with a cordyceps and black chicken soup.
Since the soup needs to be stewed for a longer time, Ye Shuyi prepares it first.
Blanch a fresh black-bone chicken with scallions, ginger, and cooking wine, then remove and place in a clay pot. Add boiling water and the soup ingredients: red dates, wolfberries, Chinese yam, longan, astragalus root, cordyceps flowers, and Agaricus blazei.
Turn on the fire and bring to a boil, then turn to low heat and simmer for an hour, and the soup is ready.
During this time, Ye Shuyi had already prepared the other dishes.
Xiaoshi came to get food in the evening.
"Miss Ye, thank you for your hard work and cooking so many delicious dishes." He said as he took it.
"It's okay, this is what I should do."
"Miss Ye, the young master asked me to pick you up today." Xiao Shi asked, "I wonder if you are free tonight?"
Ye Shuyi was a little surprised when she heard this.
Why did you ask her to come over?
Seeing Ye Shuyi's surprise, Xiao Shi added that the young master should explain what happened last night.
He saw that the young master had a special attitude towards Miss Ye. He thought there must have been some misunderstanding yesterday, which was why Miss Ye came out in such a rage.
Ye Shuyi was already a little worried about Chen Nanfeng's injury, and since he was now her boss, she took the initiative to let her go over.
She didn't refuse.
When I arrived at the hospital, it was still the same ward.
"Miss Ye, the young master said that he has sent the lady and Butler Xue away at this time today. You can just open the door and go in." Xiao Shi made a "please" gesture.
"good."
Why be so mysterious?
Xiaoshi retreated a few steps away and stood guard, like a sentry, looking towards the corridor.
Ye Shuyi was really planning to push the door open, but she heard a sound coming from inside.
She paused as she was about to turn the doorknob.
Standing outside the door, you can hear the sounds inside clearly.
"Nan Feng, how is your injury?" This was the voice of a middle-aged man.
"It's okay, I'm much better. Thank you for your concern, uncle."
"That's good. I heard that your wedding with Gu Zi has been postponed again?" asked the second uncle.
"Well, I don't plan on getting married so soon."
"You're already 26, not young anymore. When your dad was your age, you were already going out to buy soy sauce."
It's really the emperor who is not anxious, but the eunuch.
"Got it, uncle, you should go and take care of your cousin. The other day, a girl came in pregnant and asked to marry in."
Second uncle: “…”
I get annoyed when I mention my own miserable self.
He would not agree to let those women of questionable character from outside marry into his family. They had to be of equal social status.
As for that pregnant woman, just give her some money to get rid of her.
Second Uncle asked again, "I heard your appetite has improved recently? Has your anorexia been cured?"
"Yeah." Chen Nanfeng just responded lightly.
"Oh...but I heard that you can only eat dishes made by certain chefs, and everything else remains the same."
"Well, she cooks better."
"I'll try it if I have the chance. I also heard that you have special feelings for this woman. Are you in love with her?" The second uncle heard a lot.
"No. She's just our family's cook. How could she be in my eyes?"
The tone of these words was disdainful and the words were cold.
Ye Shuyi, who was outside the door, heard it clearly and was startled.
Her heart felt like it was being squeezed tightly by a giant hand, bleeding profusely. The air around her became thinner, so thin that she couldn't breathe, and it was difficult to breathe.
I was completely at a loss.
She let go of the doorknob and stepped back, no longer listening to the conversation inside.
If she still held a glimmer of hope during the day, she now faced the reality.
All doubts are resolved.
She no longer needed to think about whether Chen Nanfeng had any feelings for her.
She seemed to be relieved in an instant, but also seemed to be caught in a rapidly spinning vortex, feeling dizzy.
In the end, she was like a wooden figure with no expression on her face, staring blankly.
"Miss Ye, have you met the young master?" Xiao Shi hadn't noticed anything unusual.
"Well, take me home." She said in a flat voice.
"Okay, Miss Ye." Xiao Shi did as he was told and sent Ye Shuyi home.
When he arrived, he saw Miss Ye slowly open the car door and walk away slowly.
After taking two steps, he almost tripped.
Xiao Shixin came up and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her stand up again and walk into the building.
He waited for a while, and when he saw the light in Miss Ye's room was on, he drove away.
Ye Shuyi returned home, took a shower, and lay down on the bed.
It's only nine o'clock now. In the past, she would not go back to bed until eleven or twelve o'clock.
It was early, but she felt extremely tired, more tired than she had ever been.
What kept coming to my mind was the man’s words, “She is just our family’s cook, how could she be worthy of my attention?”
She is just the Chen family's cook.
Who gave her the courage to covet the young master of the Chen family?
Ye Shuyi is good-looking and a good cook, and she has always been very confident in herself.
Now this confidence has been poured cold water on, the flame is dim and is about to go out.
Maybe she is really not that good. She comes from an ordinary family and is not as elegant and dignified as the rich girls.
It's normal not to be liked.
She was just a cook who cooked in the kitchen every day. As a restaurant owner, she was inevitably tainted with the airs of a businessman. She was obsessed with money and was vulgar and ignorant.
If the daughter of a wealthy family is a delicate flower raised in a greenhouse, she is a weed by the roadside. She has no value and must desperately absorb nutrients every day to stay alive.
The more she thought about it, the sadder she became. Tears immediately flowed out, flowing from the corners of her eyes to her black hair, and then soaking the pillow.
So sad.
Chen Nanfeng doesn't like himself and only thinks of himself as a chef.
She was sad and blamed herself for being sad.
Don't be sad, it's no big deal. If he likes you, that would be amazing!
Even if she doesn't like you, life must go on.
Besides, you are not embarrassed. After all, you didn't confess your feelings and he doesn't know what you are thinking.
It's okay, you can pretend nothing happened in front of him. Some kind of pride is still there.
She comforted herself while crying.
She wanted to cry, but Xiaozhi was still sleeping underneath, so she couldn't cry out loud.
An old ceiling fan above my head was still making noise and was not working properly, with dust falling down.
Ye Shuyi just stared at the ceiling fan above her head. She was getting hot again. This broken fan wasn't cooling her down. She might as well just drop it and crush her to death!
This way you won’t feel uncomfortable.
As soon as this thought came to her mind, she became afraid of the ceiling fan, which was older than her. What if it really fell and hit her?
How sad, she was already miserable enough.
She kept thinking about this over and over again until she fell asleep in the middle of the night.
I woke up again at five in the morning, feeling tired and sleepy and unable to fall asleep.
At six o'clock, she got up again and started a tiring day.
