After a while, Xiaoqi came over with Pingsheng, carrying a bowl of sweet rice dumpling soup.
"Eat something first before you write! Her Highness the Princess made this herself."
Xiaokang paused while holding the bowl, "Yaoyao can cook?"
Xiaoqi glanced at him and nodded with an unnatural expression, "Well, it's just my first time, so I'm a little slow." If the cook had done it, he would have come over long ago.
Then she looked at Xiaokang expectantly, "Come and try the princess's cooking!"
Xiaokang looked at the bowl in his hand with some hesitation. He had never heard of Yaoyao entering the kitchen before. Generally speaking, the food made by people who enter the kitchen for the first time would not be very delicious.
After carefully looking at the unknown black foam floating up and down in the bowl, he guessed that the rice wine was burnt and was forcibly scraped off from the bottom of the pot.
The light in the room was dim, and he didn't see it clearly just now, so he thought that black sesame seeds were sprinkled in the bowl.
If I really drink such a bowl of sweet soup, I will probably have diarrhea tomorrow!
Xiaokang rolled his eyes and passed the bowl to Xiaoqi, "Your Highness's cooking skills, let me give you a taste first."
Frightened, Xiao Qi quickly took a step back. "This is something Her Royal Highness the Princess made especially for you. I can't overstep my bounds. You should enjoy it alone!"
He had just seen the princess making it with his own eyes. Wow, the originally large pot of dumplings was so mushy in the end that only the few in the bowl could be picked out.
Originally, Yaoyao planned to cook a bowl for everyone, but due to improper operation, all the dumplings stuck to the bottom of the pot. Thinking that everyone would be asleep if she stayed any later, she could only pick out a bowl from the pot that looked okay.
But only one bowl was successful, and Yaoyao was a little confused about who to give it to.
Finally, thinking that Xiaokang might have to stay up late to copy books and would definitely get hungry faster than others, he decided to serve him the only successful bowl of rice dumpling sweet soup.
As for him and the other people in the house, they could only ask the cooks to prepare something simpler again.
Xiaoqi, who was watching all this, was very relieved that there was only one bowl.
After quickly finishing the midnight snack prepared by the cook, he volunteered to deliver sweet soup to Xiaokang on behalf of the princess.
Seeing Xiaokang staring at the bowl of "one in a million" sweet soup in his hand with a worried look on his face, Xiaoqi couldn't help laughing. Although she tried her best to control herself, her shoulders kept shaking.
Forcing himself to suppress his laughter, he began to urge Xiaokang, "Drink it while it's hot. Her Royal Highness the Princess has been busy for a long time, don't let her down."
Xiaokang glared at him, then brought the bowl to his mouth with a worried look on his face, praying in his heart, "I hope this isn't too hard to swallow!"
As soon as he brought the bowl to his mouth, a burnt smell instantly filled his nostrils.
He hesitated for a moment looking at the bowl, thinking that this was Yaoyao's gift, he made up his mind, picked up the spoon, quickly scooped a dumpling into his mouth.
Seeing him finally move his mouth, Xiao Qi was immediately excited and asked him hurriedly, "How does it taste? Is it delicious?"
Xiaokang managed his facial expression well, and said calmly while chewing the dumplings, "It doesn't look that great, but it tastes good."
Then he quickly scooped up a dumpling and handed it to his mouth, "If you don't believe me, try one."
Xiaoqi looked at Xiaokang suspiciously. Seeing that he looked normal, she looked at the dumplings in the white porcelain spoon with some doubt. "Can dumplings cooked like this really taste good?"
While Xiaoqi was distracted, Xiaokang quickly stuffed the spoon into his mouth, and the dumpling successfully entered Xiaoqi's mouth.
Seeing Xiaoqi was about to spit it out subconsciously, he quickly said, "This is a gift from Her Royal Highness the Princess. Do you really want to spit it out?"
Xiaoqi paused, stopped spitting out the dumplings, and finally had to bite the bullet and start chewing the dumplings in her mouth.
After taking a bite, my face almost wrinkled into a ball. Oh my god! What kind of magical food is this!
The glutinous rice dumplings had been cooked until the skin melted, but the inside was still raw.
I'm not going to talk about the rawness of the dumplings, but the taste is simply indescribable. The whole dumpling has an undeniable burnt smell, and from the skin to the filling, it's all sweet to the point of being cloying. "How much sugar did you put in this, Princess?"
Xiaokang ate the dumplings in his mouth with a look of gusto and said, "How is it? I didn't lie to you! It tastes really good."
"Hmm?" Hearing this, Xiao Qi looked at Xiao Kang in shock, "Do you really think it's not bad?"
Xiaokang nodded without hesitation, then quickly scooped up another dumpling and handed it to his mouth, "If you don't believe me, try another one."
Xiao Qi's alarm bells rang loudly, and she took a big step back swiftly. "Good on you, you actually want to frame me."
No matter how Xiaokang tried to coax her or praise the sweet soup, Xiaoqi ignored him. "Humph! You're still trying to trick him into eating dumplings? No way."
In the end, Xiaokang managed to finish the entire bowl of rice dumplings with wine without batting an eyelid. If he hadn't been eating so slowly, Xiaoqi would have believed his lies about them being delicious.
Thinking that he had just tricked her into eating dumplings, Xiao Qi's eyes rolled around. When he put the bowl to his mouth, she reached out to help him lift the bowl up, and with her other hand, she held the back of his head and poured the remaining soup into his mouth.
By the time Xiaokang reacted, the bowl of soup was empty, leaving only some black foam on the corners of his mouth.
He quickly pulled Xiaoqi's hand down, took a few deep breaths, and then gasped, "You want to choke me to death?"
Xiao Qi ignored his rants and accusations. She snatched the bowl from his hand, picked up the tray, and walked out. "I'll take your bowl back to the kitchen right away. I'll also tell Her Royal Highness that you loved her soup and praised it as the best in the world. Maybe Her Royal Highness will be so pleased that she'll make it for you tomorrow."
"Stop! You scumbag!"
Seeing Xiaokang roaring and trying to catch up, Xiaoqi quickly reminded him, "It's late. If you don't copy the book now, you won't be able to hand it in tomorrow morning." Then she ran away.
Xiao Qi returned to the kitchen, but she didn't expect Yao Yao to still be waiting in the kitchen so late. Seeing him coming, she hurried to greet him and asked Xiao Qi excitedly: "How is it? Did Xiao Kang like the sweet soup I made? Did you ask him how it tasted?"
Looking at Yaoyao's face full of expectation, Xiaoqi couldn't bear to say anything that would make her sad.
He told Yaoyao word for word all the words that Xiaokang had praised him for eating the dumplings.
Anyway, Xiaokang said these things himself, so he wasn't lying.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Yaoyao smiled sweetly. She was so happy that her cooking skills almost came into play. She wanted to cook a few more dishes for Xiaokang.
Fortunately, Xiaoqi persuaded her, "It's too late today. If you keep working hard, your skin will be worse tomorrow."
After much persuasion, Yaoyao finally gave up the urge to cook. "Okay! Then I'll make something delicious for Brother Xiaokang tomorrow morning."
Only after Yaoyao left did Xiaoqi finally breathe a sigh of relief.
He sighed and said to himself, "Brother! I can only temporarily help you out tonight. Tomorrow you'll be on your own!"
