Xiao Nan also learned from Aunt Wu, mainly pastry making. She didn't learn the dishes systematically. Xu Zhaoyue didn't force her to learn anything difficult, just enough to eat. So Xiao Nan only knows a few home-style stir-fries, but they all taste pretty good.
"What, are you jealous? When you were learning to cook, weren't you so happy to bring the dishes over for me to try? I even praised you back then." Xu Zhaoyue said, recalling the past. Both of them remembered the first dish Xiaonan cooked.
Xiao Nan recalled that she had mixed up the sugar and salt, turning a plate of shredded potatoes into something sweet. "Oh dear, Aunt Wu saw me mix up the sugar and salt, but she didn't tell me. She just watched me make it."
"Yes, she was thinking that once you finished cooking it, she would make you eat it all to teach you a lesson. She didn't expect that you would finish cooking it after she left for only a short while, and then bring it to me without even tasting it herself." Xu Zhaoyue really couldn't forget the taste of the sweet potato shreds.
This memory made Xiaonan blush. "Miss, you even ate several bites. If Aunt Wu hadn't come and seen it, you would have said it was delicious."
The two women, mistress and servant, were talking about cooking. The next morning, Yue Lanxing got up early and helped Aunt Wu make xiaolongbao (soup dumplings).
"The food I make for the young lady needs to be checked repeatedly. I can tell you're a clean person, which is why I'm willing to teach you." Aunt Wu was demonstrating to Yue Lanxing how to prepare the filling for xiaolongbao (soup dumplings).
Yue Lanxing watched Wu Ma demonstrate the steps and silently memorized them. "But I don't remember meeting Wu Ma many times. How did she know I'm a clean person?"
“When you wash your hands in the backyard, you go through so many steps. It’s obvious that, how should I put it, you all call this obsessive-compulsive disorder these days, right?” Aunt Wu was pouring out the seasonings.
Yue Lanxing was surprised by Wu Ma's keen observation. She had taken things for granted, yet someone could see right through her. Wu Ma's eyes were indeed sharp. No wonder she and Uncle Sun were taken abroad by the young lady.
During the conversation, Aunt Wu had already prepared the filling and taught him how to pleat the xiaolongbao. In the end, only a few of them were Yue Lanxing bao, which Aunt Wu tasted first and then approved.
Yue Lanxing watched as Aunt Wu checked each item one by one. After the check was finished, he went upstairs to greet the young lady, "Good morning, young lady. Breakfast is ready."
"Okay, I understand." Xu Zhaoyue came out of the bedroom, with Xiao Nan following behind and Yue Lanxing standing on one side. However, when going down the stairs, Yue Lanxing deliberately slowed down and did not walk side by side with Xiao Nan.
Xu Zhaoyue looked at the breakfast in front of her and couldn't tell which one Yue Lanxing had made. Yue Lanxing saw that the young lady was looking for something and thought that she might be looking for what she had made, so she explained, "Young lady, I only ordered these few here."
"Wu Ma made both the filling and the dough; I just wrapped them together." Yue Lanxing had originally thought he would learn more today, but that's just how things were.
Xu Zhaoyue tried one and didn't find any major problems. "It's not bad." "I'll keep learning." Judging from the young lady's usual attitude, Yue Lanxing still had room for improvement.
After breakfast, they went to the company and began a busy week.
