With cooking skills like that, it wasn't for nothing that Shen Hua saved this person.
With such culinary skills, she didn't even want the money for the medicinal herbs; she just wanted to hire him as a chef so she could eat such delicious food every day.
She devoured the food that Chen Hua had brought out in no time.
"Burp, I'm almost full, it's delicious."
Xie Sichen was still leisurely preparing the ingredients when Shen Hua went over to help.
I'll wash the vegetables! You can cook them.
Although she said it very nicely, a few minutes later, after seeing the bok choy that she had washed down to just a few leaves, Xie Sichen still took over the task of washing the vegetables.
With vegetables washed like that, it's no wonder they can make such delicious porridge. It's truly remarkable that those porridges were ever successfully produced.
"Xie Sichen, with your excellent cooking skills, have you ever thought about making sure it's worth the price?"
Shen Hua stood beside Xie Sichen, watching him wash vegetables, and then casually asked a question.
"Um?"
Xie Sichen didn't know why she asked that. He had just picked up the washed vegetables and basket when he realized that they were getting a little too close.
If he hadn't reacted in time, he probably would have knocked her down.
The water from his hands splashed onto her face.
"Sorry, I didn't notice."
Xie Sichen used his sleeve to wipe Chen Hua's face, his fingers intentionally or unintentionally touching her skin.
It's smooth and soft, even better to touch than tofu.
Chen Hua: ...
She asked one question, and the person just replied with an "um." What did that mean? How was she supposed to respond?
Having studied for so long, she shouldn't be out of touch with the times, but she really didn't know whether this answer was intentional or not.
Furthermore, not only did he not answer, but he also splashed water all over her face and is now trying to wipe it off with his sleeve, which is very clumsy.
"No need, I can wipe it myself."
Shen Hua removed his hand, took a step back, wiped the water haphazardly, and only looked at Xie Sichen again when the water was gone.
"My affairs are not important, your affairs are important. When you said 'hmm' just now, did you have any plans or not?"
Seeing that he was still standing there looking at her, with no intention of speaking, Chen Hua asked again, this time in more detail.
Xie Sichen didn't expect her to still ask this question, so he turned around and said while chopping vegetables, "As you know, I'm poisoned, and I don't even know when the poison will take effect. Who would dare to hire me? Even if I wanted to, I wouldn't have the chance."
Xie Sichen spoke with a sorrowful tone, but his lips, turned away from Shen Hua, were already curving upwards.
He found that being with this little girl always made him feel happy, something he had never experienced before.
He said this on purpose, just to see how she would respond. He was curious to see where this person was going to introduce him to.
“Look at me, I’m not afraid you’ll die from poisoning. I’ll hire you, and if you die, I’ll buy you a coffin for free.”
Shen Hua was a little excited. If it was just because of this issue, then it wasn't a big problem, and she wasn't afraid.
Xie Sichen: ...
These words made him twitch his lips, because something just felt off.
"You want me to be your chef? Right here in this villa? Hiring me won't be cheap, are you sure?"
I thought she felt it was a waste for him to have his cooking skills go to waste and wanted him to use them at the restaurant. Turns out, she was looking for a chef for herself.
He spoke with such concentration that he even mentioned that the product was worth the price.
Now it was Shen Hua's turn to be in a dilemma. Judging from what he said and his cooking skills, his salary must not be low.
But shouldn't delicious food be expensive?
So Shen Hua spoke up, asking timidly, "How tall is it? Tell me first, and I'll try my best."
