Chapter 311 Make Her Look at Me with New Eyes
"When did it happen?"
Zhong Nanyue looked at the six thousand taels he handed over and didn't take it.
"It happened the day before yesterday. I also heard about it from Captain Lin. The selection meeting was so lively. The casinos were betting like crazy on the first place. Many people bet on Qin Shen. Of course, there were also people betting on you, the second place. I only had 5,000 taels on me at the time, and I used it all on you. Now that I've made some money, I naturally have to share it with you."
"You actually trust me so much?" Zhong Nanyan was quite surprised. "Aren't you afraid that these five thousand taels of silver will be wasted?"
"What's there to be afraid of? The moment you place your bet, you can't care about winning or losing. What I mean is... we are all Ning Wang's men, and we should give our own people face. Am I going to bet on Qin Shen? Even if he is powerful, I won't bet on him. This is my backbone as Ning Wang's subordinate."
Chu Yuni had already stuffed the banknote into Zhong Nanyan's hand when she finished speaking. "I am a generous person. You don't have to be polite to me."
“This account doesn’t seem right, does it?”
Zhong Nanyan looked at the banknote in her hand, thought for a while, and finally figured it out. "Although you bet on me to win the money, there is no capital of mine in it. I didn't know there was such a thing as gambling, and I didn't spend a penny. Since I didn't pay, should I not get a share of the money?"
"No, you can't calculate it like that." Chu Yuni retorted, "You didn't pay any money, but you worked hard. If you don't win, I will have to pay all the five thousand taels. Isn't it hard for you to compete? What's wrong with taking a part of your hard work fee from the money I won?"
Zhong Nanyue thought about it carefully and there didn't seem to be anything wrong?
No, it's still not right!
"I told you you're stupid and you still don't believe me! Think about it, your capital was 5,000 taels, and you got 12,000 taels, so in fact you only made 7,000 taels. Even if you want to give me half, it should be 3,500 taels, not 6,000 taels. Isn't that right? How can you take out the capital and share it all?"
Zhong Nanyue counted the silver bills in her hand and found that the face value of each was five hundred taels, which was quite easy to calculate.
So she took five and gave them back to Chu Yuni, "According to my calculation, this is correct."
"Okay, then let's do as you say." Chu Yuni didn't intend to argue with her anymore and took the banknote she handed over, "Don't tell anyone about the money I split with you."
"Don't worry, I won't tell you." Zhong Nanyan folded the banknotes and put them back into her sleeves. "Money is something that you can't show to others. Do you have anything else to do?"
"No...no more. Oh, by the way, you also said before that you would treat me back someday, don't forget."
"Don't worry, I won't forget this."
Zhong Nanyue smiled brightly and turned to leave the private room.
Chu Yuni stood there in a daze for a moment, then went to the window and looked down.
Zhong Nanyue has already gathered with the Hu sisters, and they are talking and laughing.
Chu Yuni suddenly felt that she looked quite pretty when she smiled.
Of course, her smile when she defeated Qin Shen was even more radiant.
There's a sense of being upright and majestic... That's probably what it means.
Very majestic and very strong.
…
"Come, my respected Majesty, let me see your elegance when cooking."
In the spacious kitchen, Song Yunchu looked at the abundant ingredients on the stove, and his first reaction was -
This is too cheap for Jun Li Luo.
All the vegetables were washed clean, even the fish was killed and processed, all kinds of meat were sliced, and even condiments like green onions and ginger were chopped and packaged by the people below.
Therefore, Jun Liluo's cooking process simply skips the tedious steps of washing vegetables, killing fish, and cutting meat.
But even so, she didn't believe he could cook a good meal.
For example, the step of making a fire took him a long time to complete.
The next step is to pour the oil.
Jun Liluo thought that it would be bad if the food had too much oil, so he should put less.
"Not enough, not enough. This little bit will definitely burn the pot. Keep pouring."
Song Yunchu didn't want to instruct him at first, but as he watched, he couldn't help but give him a reminder.
After all, she couldn't bear to see the pot burned through.
Jun Liluo listened to her reminder and added more oil.
He had never been involved in the kitchen, and he had never had such a ridiculous idea of cooking before. But now there were only him and Yun Chu in the manor, so he had to try to do all the chores himself.
Since he had decided from the beginning not to let anyone disturb him, he couldn't ask someone else to cook. Of course... he couldn't let Yun Chu do it either.
He has already made such a boast, he must make her look at him with new eyes.
Seeing the steam rising from the oil, he picked up the basket of washed vegetables on his right hand, grabbed a handful and threw them down.
Song Yunchu noticed his actions, held back his smile, and casually picked a grape from the table and peeled and ate it.
As long as there were no signs of the pot boiling, she wouldn't remind him.
Jun Liluo looked at the vegetables in the pot and quickly realized that he had put too little.
He clearly grabbed a large handful and threw it in, but this is all that came out after cooking?
Fortunately, there is still enough oil and there is still time to add more dishes.
So he put in a handful of vegetables, and then, as if he suddenly thought of something, he turned around and took the plate of fish fillets on the table behind him.
Yun Chu doesn't like to eat vegetarian food. He will lose his appetite when seeing a whole plate of vegetables. It would be better to add some fish slices.
Relying on his knowledge of cooking, Jun Liluo picked up the spatula and stirred the vegetables and fish together. During this time, he remembered that it was time to add salt, so he opened the salt shaker and added two spoonfuls of salt into the pot.
Song Yunchu: “…”
She really wanted to say something, but after thinking it over, she remained silent.
She didn't even want to think about something in her mind, for fear that he would hear it and affect his performance.
Soon, the first dish of fried fish with vegetables came out.
It wasn't burnt, and Jun Liluo was somewhat satisfied with the look.
Although it wasn't as good looking as the one made by the imperial chef, at least the cooking time was controlled. He thought Yun Chu wouldn't be disgusted.
The second dish is sweet and sour pork ribs.
Following the experience of the first dish, Jun Liluo put the ribs into the pot and added two spoonfuls of sugar, but he didn't know how much vinegar to put.
He turned to ask Song Yunchu, "Yunchu, this vinegar..."
However, before he could finish his question, he smelled a burnt aroma.
He quickly turned his gaze back to the pot.
He really didn't expect that the ribs would become burnt in just a moment.
Song Yunchu sighed softly, "It's best to prepare the sauce first when making this dish. Use a spoon like the one in your hand, at least add four spoons of water. We can't keep this pot of ribs. Let's try another dish."
Jun Liluo decided to ignore this pot for the time being and changed it.
One failure doesn't mean anything, and it won't make him back down.
So in the following time, Song Yunchu saw him make fried winter melon with shrimp and fried chicken with black fungus.
The shrimps were obviously overcooked, and the chicken... based on the cooking time he took, it should not be cooked.
In his opinion, the best combination of each dish is one meat and one vegetable. As for how to match? Randomly.
"Yun Chu, are we still short of soup? How about... mutton and loofah soup?"
Seeing Jun Liluo asking sincerely, Song Yunchu stopped peeling the orange and said, "Aluo, I actually have a question I really want to ask you."
"What?"
“Why don’t you taste a dish after you cook it?”
Hearing this, Jun Liluo glanced at the dishes on the stove and said, "Don't these dishes look normal? Only the shrimp doesn't look good. We agreed not to compete with the imperial chef."
"Yes, but of course it can't compare with the imperial chef." Song Yunchu took out a pair of chopsticks from the cabinet.
Jun Liluo felt a little excited when he saw that she wanted to try his food.
But after Song Yunchu picked up a piece of vegetable, he did not taste it, but put it to his lips.
"Come, you eat first."
