Chapter 158 Are you okay?
Pei Ji looked at the table full of beautiful and exquisite star beast meals and sighed inwardly. It was a pity. It looked so good and smelled so good, but why did it taste so bad?
"Just destroy it, what else can I do?"
Pu Hebi called over the robot butler. Although he had spent the entire morning meticulously preparing this meal, there was no denying the fact that it tasted bad. What was the point of keeping it? It was annoying to look at!
Bai Guo watched helplessly as the robot took up one of the plates. His heart ached even more, and he shouted to stop it, "Xiao Yi, there's no need to destroy it. I want to eat it."
The other three people looked at Baiguo with strange eyes. How could they eat such a thing?
"You want to eat the Star Beast Meal? I'll take you to grab the premium meal tonight," Wen Ye stroked Bai Guo's little head and said softly, "Now, let's go to the cafeteria or Mingzong to eat. This is too disgusting. Don't let yourself down."
Wen Ye and Pei Ji kept saying it was unpalatable, which made Pu Hebi's face turn even colder. These two people had never even touched the pots and pans, yet they had the nerve to comment on what he made. If they had the guts, they could have made a table full of it first and then judge him.
"Bai Guo, why don't you ask Wen Ye's father and Pei Ji's father to cook a meal for you now? Let's see if their cooking is delicious."
Bai Guo glanced at Pei Ji and Wen Ye suspiciously. She didn't believe that these two could cook delicious food.
"What are you looking at?" Pei Ji was annoyed by Bai Guo's distrustful look. He rolled up his sleeves and walked into the kitchen. "Just wait, anything your father Pei Ji cooks will taste better than what Pu Hebi cooks!"
Bai Guo still didn't believe it. Since Pei Ji had gone, shouldn't Wen Ye also go and show his skills?
Wen Ye's smile was a little stiff as he was stared at by the big and small ones. He had never cooked before. Wasn't this embarrassing?
Forced into a corner, Wen Ye touched his nose and tried to argue again, but both of them pretended not to hear him. Finally, he could only walk into the kitchen. In that case, he would make some barbecue for them. Grilling was his specialty, and it wasn't difficult. At least it was edible.
Baiguo grabbed a giant star beast prawn. The prawn was steamed in its original flavor, so it probably couldn't be that bad. She directed the robot to prepare a bowl of dipping sauce for her. She didn't dare dip it in the dipping sauce prepared by Puhe Bide next to it, for fear that the taste of the prawn would be ruined.
Pu Hebi's face darkened as he clearly saw what Bai Guo was thinking. "Don't worry, I only added some soy sauce and vinegar to the dipping sauce. It won't have any strange taste."
"Oh, really?"
Baiguo chuckled to ease the awkwardness, then started to peel the prawns skillfully. Pu and Bi saw that Baiguo was having a hard time peeling the shells, so they put on gloves to help. This dish was probably the most successful one in the whole table, and it required no technical skills at all.
Baiguo grabbed the peeled Star Beast Shrimp with both hands. The shrimp was so big that he couldn't grab it with one hand. He dipped it in the sauce, opened his mouth wide, and took a bite. His eyes narrowed immediately. Sure enough, there was no strange taste. The shrimp meat was very fresh with a unique sweetness. His mouth was full of freshness and sweetness when he chewed it.
"Dad Pu, this is so delicious!" Baiguo gave a thumbs up and looked very satisfied as he ate.
Pu Hebi paused as he peeled the shrimp. Was this a genuine compliment? A sudden surge of pride rose within him. He would work hard to make even better dishes. A temporary failure didn't mean he would always fail.
"Can I try it too?"
Pu Hebi took a bite of the Star Beast Shrimp and remained expressionless while chewing, but at least his face didn't turn green. It was indeed delicious, and he could still salvage it.
“Is it delicious?”
"tasty."
Pu Hebi nodded, and after eating one, he started to peel shrimps for Baiguo. There were six Star Beast shrimps, and he had already eaten one. The rest would be given to his daughter. She had had a hard time during this period.
Thinking that this cub had insisted on eating the dark food he made for a month in order to make him happy, a warm feeling rose in his heart, and he couldn't help but want to be nicer to her.
"From now on, if it tastes bad, just say it tastes bad. If it tastes good, just say it tastes good. Daddy isn't that sensitive. He can correct you if you say it tastes bad."
Pu Hebi has been spending more and more time with Baiguo during this period, and they have been talking more and more.
"Okay!" Baiguo responded sweetly.
After eating the prawns, Baiguo started to eat the dishes that were so disgusting that they would kill people on the spot.
"Why do you still want to eat?"
Pu Hebi frowned. If he wanted to make him feel better, there was no need to do so. He really wasn't that fragile. The way he made a cub try so hard to protect him was a little funny and a little... He didn't know how to describe it, he just felt his whole heart warm.
"We can't waste food," Bai Guo said, swallowing the food in his mouth with difficulty. "It's not easy to get the ingredients, and the people who make them work hard too. We should respect food because it feeds us."
Pu Hebi fell silent after hearing this. He thought of the ingredients he destroyed when he was learning to cook, and a feeling of shame arose. He was not even as good as a cub.
"This is what my older sister and older brother told me when I went to Mingzong. They also said that in Mingzong, no matter how bad the food tastes, you have to eat it as long as you won't get poisoned. This is the school rule." Baiguo chattered, and then saw Pu and Bi also joined the ranks of eating the Star Beast meal.
"You're right, we can't waste food."
Pu Hebi felt a little choked after taking a bite, but he endured it and continued eating. He would finish the food he made even if he had to kneel down.
When Pei Ji came out with a big pot of cooked instant noodles, he saw the big and small encouraging each other. After eating the disgusting star beast meal, he almost couldn't hold the pot in his hand.
He had only been in the kitchen for half an hour, and something had happened that he didn't know about? What was going on?
“It smells so good!”
The tortured Baiguo smelled the aroma of instant noodles and his eyes lit up. Although Pei Ji was unreliable, instant noodles were reliable. They could be cooked deliciously as long as they were boiled and seasoned. It was just right to get rid of the unpleasant taste in his mouth.
The robot picked up a few empty bowls on the table to make it easier for Peggy to bring the pot over.
Pu Hebi skillfully picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started to serve the noodles to Baiguo. He could also do this, but it was less technical than steaming shrimp.
"Are you all right?"
Peiji pointed at the Star Beast meal, which he had eaten a third of. His meaning was clear: why force himself to eat something so disgusting? In his world, there was no such thing as saving.
Bai Guo was immediately displeased when he heard this and retorted, "You're the one with the problem. We're adhering to the good virtue of not wasting any food. You should come too!"
"I can't tell..." Pei Ji gave Bai Guo a surprised look, "You're starting to speak more culturedly now. It seems your father Ji's nagging is quite effective."
If you think about it carefully, Baiguo has never wasted any food and always eats it all. Is this an advantage?
