Chapter 6: Eager to Improve
Jiang Yunyao became more and more excited as she spoke, and couldn't stop bringing up old things.
"And the wedding anniversary gift you gave me last time was just a hairpin! And it was made of plastic! Are you trying to humiliate me? Are you trying to say that I'm not worthy of a rich young master like you?"
"What?" Xie Yixing felt wronged. "Didn't you take a second look at it last time at the scenic spot? I thought you liked it, so I bought it for you!"
Jiang Yunyao quickly retorted, "If I even look at that shit for a second, will you also eagerly wrap it up as a gift and give it to me?"
Xie Yixing hesitated, "If you really want..."
"Ah—" Jiang Yunyao picked up the pillow beside her, "Xie Yixing, I'm going to smash your head off today!"
[This... can't tell who's right and who's wrong! ]
[They say it's hard for an honest judge to settle family disputes. Today I finally understand!]
You might say he's heartless, but he remembers someone just looking at his hairpin for a second. You might say he's thoughtful, but he gave her a hairpin on their anniversary, and it's made of plastic!
[The hairpins I bought for 9.9 yuan on PDD are all made of metal! ]
Xie Yixing didn't understand why she was angry again, so he picked up the pillow beside him to resist.
The two of them played and joked for a while before slowly going to mop the floor, and they didn't finish until five in the afternoon.
"I've never felt so tired doing housework!" Jiang Yunyao collapsed on the sofa. "Look, living in a villa isn't so bad after all!"
Xie Yixing disagreed with her point of view, "We have an aunt to clean the house, so we don't have to do housework ourselves."
Jiang Yunyao: "... Stop talking, or I'll fight you rich people!"
The two men didn't rest for too long because they had consumed too much energy in the afternoon and were now starving.
As the comments in the live broadcast room said, there are no noodles and eggs left, so we can only have stir-fried vegetables for dinner.
[Although, I still want to ask, won’t they starve to death?]
[Hehe, for someone with such low moral character like Jiang Liangliang, starving to death is considered her good fortune!]
[Don't worry, it's not possible for anyone to starve to death in our time!]
[Ahhhhh, I'm so anxious! Why don't you guys just order takeout? If you can't cook, you can order takeout!]
[I guess the person in front is the takeaway boss, or the delivery man! ]
[Maybe a college student...]
The topic in the live broadcast room went off track again and again, and when everyone looked at the screen again, Jiang Yunyao had already thought of a solution.
She doesn’t know how to cook, but she can use traditional skills - looking up guides online!
The two heads put together and began to study recipes on the Internet.
Xie Yixing spent a long while reading the guide before asking a soul-searching question: "Light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, MSG, chicken bouillon, what are these used for? Do you know what they look like?"
Jiang Yunyao looked at the pile of condiment bottles and felt overwhelmed. "...I don't know."
As the saying goes, if you have any problems, go to your mother! Is it too late for her to call her mother now?
Just when the two were at a loss, the doorbell rang.
Xie Yixing strode over to open the door and found it was Lin Wanwan.
Jiang Yunyao followed him out of the kitchen. Seeing Lin Wanwan, she quickly invited her in. "Miss Lin, what can I do for you?"
"Call me Wanwan," Lin Wanwan's eyes curved slightly, her voice gentle, "Acheng and I would like to treat you to a meal so that we can get to know each other better and get along better in the future."
To use an inappropriate metaphor, this is like receiving a pillow when you are dozing off, and it comes at the right time!
Jiang Yunyao turned around and went to the kitchen to pick up the ingredients, still making excuses, "Is this too much trouble for you?"
"It's not a bother," Lin Wanwan walked over and offered to help her carry a few bags. "Actually, we wanted to get together with you last night, but we were packing up too late, so we didn't want to disturb you."
How could Jiang Yunyao ask her to help carry things? She immediately gave Xie Yixing a look.
Xie Yixing understood immediately and grabbed all the bags before Lin Wanwan could. "I'm strong, I'll carry them!"
Lin Wanwan pursed her lips and smiled, then took Jiang Yunyao's hand and said, "Let's go."
【Ahhhh Wanwan is so kind, I really didn’t follow the wrong person! 】
[What's going on? Why are you suddenly treating me to a meal?]
[Just came back from next door. It was said that Lin Wanwan watched the live broadcast and knew that Jiang Yunyao and the others couldn't cook, so she specifically discussed with Mr. Lu to treat them to a meal!]
[Luckily, Lin Wanwan arrived just in time. These two couldn't even identify all the seasonings. I was really worried they would blow up the kitchen!]
[This is hilarious! If the kitchen really blew up, it would be a real spectacle!]
At noon, Jiang Yunyao glanced at the live broadcast room and found out that Lu Mucheng had cooked five dishes that beat them.
Now that she is so close to home, her desire to make progress is eager to try!
Although the male protagonist is a bit scheming, has bad intentions, and is a bit possessive of the female protagonist... (ten thousand shortcomings omitted here), everything else is still very good!
As expected, when Lu Mucheng heard Jiang Yunyao say that she wanted to learn how to cook, he thought for a moment and agreed.
Xie Yixing remembered the book "The Good Husband's Handbook" that his friend showed him, and immediately expressed that he wanted to learn it too.
Teaching one is teaching, teaching two is also teaching, Lu Mucheng agreed.
But he soon realized that this was the decision he regretted most today!
Lin Wanwan was squeezing juice in the living room, and Lu Mucheng took the two of them to the kitchen.
When Lin Wanwan went to invite them, Lu Mucheng had already washed and cut the vegetables. At this moment, he was directing the two of them to heat the oil in a wok.
"Now that the pan is hot, you can pour the oil in..."
Xie Yixing picked up the bottle next to him, opened it and poured it into the pot.
Lu Mucheng took a look and quickly stopped him, handing him the oil bottle. "No, that's sesame oil, this is peanut oil."
"Oh!" Xie Yixing took the oil bottle and poured the oil into the pot.
Lu Mucheng turned around and asked Jiang Yunyao to bring the minced garlic from the chopping board. When he turned around again, the oil bottle in Xie Yixing's hand was already half empty!
He tried to control his voice, "Stop! You poured too much oil!"
"Ah?!" Xie Yixing hurriedly put down the oil bottle, opened it, picked up the pot and planned to pour the oil back.
Lu Mucheng's eyes twitched, and he quickly stopped him, "Forget it, let's just leave it at that."
He said to Jiang Yunyao who was watching from the side, "Put the chopped garlic in."
Perhaps because he was worried about Xie Yixing, a complete newbie, Lu Mucheng handed the shovel to Jiang Yunyao.
"After stir-frying, add the chopped vegetables... and stir-fry..."
Jiang Yunyao stopped and asked humbly, "Teacher, how do you stir-fry?" Lu Mucheng glanced at her, took the spatula and showed her an example.
Jiang Yunyao has a strong learning ability and can learn almost anything she sees.
Everything seems to be moving in the right direction.
However, not long after, the two men ran into problems again under Lu Mucheng's command.
"Put light soy sauce... No, that's dark soy sauce... That's oyster sauce!"
"That's not chicken bouillon, that's MSG...that's salt!"
"Okay, now let's stew the chicken... Where are the star anise and Sichuan peppercorns? Didn't I give them to you just now?"
Lu Mucheng said that he had never been so tired!
After all the dishes were ready, he pressed his eyebrows, and left the kitchen with heavy steps as if his soul had been taken away.
Jiang Yunyao and Xie Yixing were left confused.
The audience in the live broadcast room watched the entire process and were filled with emotion.
Tired, angry, exhausted, helpless... In my lifetime, I actually saw such an indescribable expression on Mr. Lu's face!
[Jiang Yunyao and Xie Yixing both have a talent for driving people crazy!]
[To be honest, as a kitchen newbie, I really can’t even tell the difference between light soy sauce and dark soy sauce…]
[Hahahahaha sorry, I really can't hold it in anymore, I feel like this is more exciting than watching TV dramas! ]
[Ahhh, even their cooking skills are equally bad. This couple gave me so many surprises! ]
[Ahhh sister, I've seen you several times. Are you obsessed with CP? ]
