[Chapter 513 Learning to Cook]
Leisure time makes people feel less like time is passing.
Sophia and David have lived in Tianxiahui Building for three days. It was not until today that she realized that she had been in this world for almost a week, but it seemed that she had not done anything.
She felt the passage of time, or the situation she was facing at the moment: staring at the dirty clothes.
David noticed Sophia’s dilemma, and after watching the excitement for a while, he began to teach Sophia how to use the washing machine.
To be honest, David was not familiar with how to use such an old-fashioned washing machine, but fortunately there was an instruction manual. What
Sophia had to teach was not how to operate the machine, but to remind her to classify the clothes, separate the white, light and dark colors, and then wash them separately.
However, there were still small pieces left out during the actual operation, causing all the white clothes to be stained.
“…”
Sophia was not too depressed. Except for being a little upset at the beginning, she quickly put the matter aside. She just thought these experiences were very interesting, and then she had a very bold idea.
She wanted to learn to cook!
“Are you kidding?”
“I saw that the Manhan Building next door is hiring people. The food there is delicious. I want to go there to learn how to make authentic Chinese food.” Sophia was full of confidence. She patted the car lights to show that she was smart and would learn it soon: “When we return to Winter City, I can cook for everyone.”
“…”
David didn’t know how to comment. Can a person who can wash white clothes purple with a washing machine really cook good dishes?
But he couldn’t object. Coming to this world is to do whatever you want. Since Sophia is interested in this, then go!
If you feel too tired or bored, then give up.
It’s not like going to a dungeon to do a task. You must achieve the goal.
You have learned, tried, and experienced it. Even if the goal is achieved, the result is not important.
“But I still remind you that learning to cook is very tiring, and handling various ingredients is not clean.”
“Hmm…” Sophia was in a dilemma. After thinking about it, she decided to go to the Manhan Building first and then decide whether to learn it.
This is a serious little princess. She has never experienced the kind of environment David described, and she doesn’t know if she can accept it.
“Let’s go and talk to Boss Ou.”
“Yes!”
Sophia, who changed into a new set of clothes and dressed up beautifully, followed David out happily.
At present, there are not many residents in the building. From time to time, people come to visit. It can be seen that the security guard was not bragging at the beginning. Tianxiahui is indeed a very good building with high attraction.
David always looks at these visitors carefully to see if there are any familiar faces.
However, he has not seen any familiar faces in the past few days. At present, he can still be sure of those few people.
After the two greeted the security guard, they walked along the road to Manhanlou. The business of this restaurant is very good every day. Even if it is not meal time, you often have to queue up for a seat.
But David and Sophia are not here to eat today. They greeted the waiter directly and met the owner of the restaurant, Ou Zhaofeng.
Boss Ou, who looks like a monk who can make people immortal with just one bite, is a great chef. The name of Manhanlou comes from Ou Zhaofeng, who is a top chef who knows how to make Manhan banquets.
From this point of view, if Sofia can really learn something, then he will really have a good time in the future – even if he can’t learn it, it’s okay, just build a good relationship, get the title of master and apprentice, and then directly trick Boss Ou’s family to Winter City in the future, and he will still have a good time.
Thinking of this, David suddenly had energy and motivation, and felt that Sofia really had a good idea!
“Boss Ou!”
“Mr. Glamorgan!”
“Don’t be so polite.”
They had already known each other by name before. David was a superior person in the “suzerain state”. No matter what he thought in his heart, these people had to be polite to him on the surface.
“Just call me David.” After
drinking a few sips of tea with Boss Ou and chatting about the mountains for a while, David said that he actually has Chinese ancestry and is very yearning for Eastern culture, which made Ou Zhaofeng smile.
Never mind the truth or falsehood, after the surface work is done, the follow-up matters can be discussed.
Perhaps it was David’s words that really made Boss Ou in a good mood, and David had black hair and black eyes, and did not look that foreign, so Ou Zhaofeng was indeed a lot more enthusiastic towards him.
But even so, when David mentioned that Sophia thought the food at Manhanlou was so delicious and wanted to learn a few tricks from Boss Ou, the authentic imperial chef still showed obvious embarrassment.
“This…”
Boss Ou looked at David and then at Sophia.
If David wanted to learn, he could still “understand” a little, but Sophia… Although this girl eats very deliciously, this is a standard image of a foreign horse. Should she learn to cook or learn Chinese food?
Ou Zhaofeng is relatively traditional and conservative, and his ideas are not so trendy.
Although he is stimulated by his daughter with all kinds of trendy tricks every day, he also acts as if he is not surprised, but if he really doesn’t take it seriously, he won’t be so angry that he needs to take medicine.
“She’s just curious. Boss Ou can just watch and teach her.” When David spoke, he vaguely mentioned that Sophia’s identity was not ordinary. She had lived a life of luxury since childhood and had never suffered from hardship. Her family had a long history and a prominent background, so she would definitely not be able to endure the hardship of learning to cook.
After hearing this, Ou Zhaofeng’s face was full of enlightenment: “So, I know what to do.”
Just treat it as entertaining a curious guest. Don’t expect her to help or pass on his skills. Just don’t make trouble in the kitchen.
“Thank you, Brother Feng.”
“Don’t be so polite.”
The two men laughed. The deal was done. Sophia next to them had already picked up the tea bowl: “Master.”
“…”
Just when Ou Zhaofeng didn’t know how to respond, a waiter walked in with a business card in his hand: “Brother Feng, there is a handsome guy outside with Long Kunbao’s business card looking for you!”
“What? Looking for me with Long Kunbao’s business card?” Ou Zhaofeng’s first reaction was that someone came to mess up the place, but the waiter’s next sentence confused him: “Yes, he said he came to learn cooking from you.”
“With Long Kunbao’s business card, come to learn cooking from me?”
Ou Zhaofeng thought for a long time and didn’t understand what this routine was, so he decided to meet him in person.
David saw that he had finished talking about the business, and he was not going to disturb Ou Zhaofeng any more. He agreed with Sophia that she would come to Manhan Building to study from tomorrow, and then he was ready to leave.
However, before leaving, he still glanced at Ou Zhaofeng and saw a handsome guy talking to Boss Ou happily!
“Who is that person?”
“Lezi.”
Sophia understood immediately. If he was not the protagonist, he would be an important supporting role. Seeing that the man was young and handsome, he was most likely the ‘protagonist’!
“Then won’t I have fun to watch next?”
“Yes!”
Zhao Gangsheng was introduced by Long Kunbao, Ou Zhaofeng’s mortal enemy, to learn cooking in Manhan Building. Ou Zhaofeng will definitely treat him well next time.
Sophia, who also came to learn cooking, can watch Lezi up close, which is much more enjoyable than 3D IMAX, and is truly immersive.
David felt that he could come to Manhan Building to sit every day, just to drink more tea and eat some snacks. There was fun to watch and food to eat. What a wonderful day!
“It’s still early. It would be too boring to go back directly. How about walking around?”
“Sure, let’s go to the market to see what dishes are available?” After Sophia expressed her desire to learn cooking, she always wanted to show it to herself, even though she couldn’t even fry an egg.
In the end, the two did not buy vegetables, but found a night market, where they ate all the way. When they returned to the apartment, it was already completely dark.
Unexpectedly, the two met He Min who had just returned at the entrance of the building. When David saw her, she was saying goodbye to her boyfriend who was driving.
David glanced at her and it seemed to be the boyfriend of the leader of the anti-black group. I wonder what part of the plot here has developed to? Did Zhou Xingxing enter Edinburgh Middle School?
“Amin, are you on a date? Is that your boyfriend just now?”
“Yes!”
Sophia is warm and beautiful. She is already familiar with He Min and Wang Zhenzhen. However, Hu Huishan has rarely been seen since she moved in. It seems that she is very busy with work.
“Did you two go shopping?”
“Yes, we found a night market nearby, where there are many snacks.”
“…” He Min was already impressed by Sophia. She didn’t expect such a beautiful girl to be a super foodie. What’s more annoying is that Sophia, who can eat so much, still has an enviable figure.
Sophia didn’t think there was anything wrong with her situation. After talking about the various snacks she had just tried, she also mentioned that she was going to Manhanlou to learn cooking.
“You are going to Manhanlou to learn cooking?”
“Yes!”
He Min was really shocked this time. It seems that this is not something that ordinary people can learn, right?
She thought the same as Ou Zhaofeng. Maybe Sophia was just curious for a while, and it was not easy to refuse directly, so she simply agreed. When Sophia realized how difficult and tiring it was to be a chef, she would soon give up on her own initiative.
However, on the surface, she still expressed support for Sophia’s choice, and looked forward to Sophia’s success in learning and eating her dishes in person.
“It will be available soon.”
Sophia was very confident, but by this time the next day, her confidence completely disappeared.
She was not tired by the complicated physical work. In terms of physical fitness, even the instructor who lived next door was not as good as Sofia.
Sofia was stumped by the particularly “metaphysical” ingredients and heat.
Words such as a little and a proper amount became the most common and difficult words she heard. She couldn’t understand how these chefs made accurate judgments?
Anyway, Sofia watched the kitchen for a day and didn’t learn how to cook half a dish. She realized that it was not easy to make delicious Chinese food.
“But I won’t give up!”
