Chapter 286: Thousand-year-old female corpse vs. the last warlord (7)
"This snow-white thing is lard, this white thing is crystal clear, this dark black thing that smells sour is aged vinegar, this dark black thing that smells slightly bitter and tastes salty is soy sauce... Do you remember them all?" After introducing all the seasonings in the kitchen, the housekeeper withdrew his hands like a successful Taoist priest and stood in front of the stove.
"Hmm... I think so..."
He saw the lack of confidence in Shi Yi's eyes and felt a little shaken. A young lady who had never touched a woman's finger suddenly wanted to cook. He should not have agreed to such a hard job in the first place.
"Grandpa housekeeper, can we cook?"
He saw Shi Yi rolled up his sleeves and couldn't wait to show off his cooking skills. He secretly complained in his heart. He didn't even remember the basic seasonings, but he wanted to cook. What's the difference between this and running before he can walk.
"Grandpa housekeeper? Can we cook?" Shi Yi saw that he didn't pay attention to him, thinking that he didn't hear him, and repeated it again.
"Well...well..." The housekeeper had a smile on his face, but he had a pain in his heart that others didn't know.
"Housekeeper, just let her do it." Meng Liangchao, wearing a straight military uniform, walked into the spacious kitchen. As soon as he got home today, he heard the servants say that Miss Lu was learning to cook with the housekeeper in the kitchen, so he ran over.
"Master, how can you come to this kind of place, get out, get out." The housekeeper pushed him with a serious look on his face, "This kind of place is not for people like you who do big things."
"Okay, okay, I'll go out right away. I'll just say a few words to Shi Yi." Meng Liangchao raised his hands to compromise, knowing that he was worried about himself, but he also had someone he loved very much.
When the housekeeper heard what he said, his face was a little unhappy, and he turned away.
He knew that since ancient times, people have forgotten their mothers when they have a wife. But he didn't expect that his young master would be like this. If the young master really had to marry the girl, his position as the third in the Meng family would be in jeopardy.
As he thought about it, his nose felt sore and his eyes started to turn red.
"The other day you said you wanted to learn to cook and I thought you were just talking, but you really did it." Meng Liangchao gently rolled up Shi Yi's sleeves, and his tone of voice was unprecedentedly gentle.
"Huh. You forget your mother after you have a wife." The housekeeper wiped his tears and muttered softly, "I'm so old now, and you were only gentle to me when I was a child."
"Yes, in the past, you loved to cook all kinds of delicious food for me the most. Now I have the opportunity, I can repay you." Shi Yi smiled sweetly, as if his gentleness to him was a matter of course.
"Then what are you going to do?" Meng Liangchao got the point of Shi Yi's words just now, and silently remembered it in his heart, preparing to find an opportunity to learn to cook from the housekeeper.
"Little bastard, Grandpa has cooked so many meals for you, but you've never been so excited. You haven't even memorized the seasonings, but you're already looking forward to cooking something." The housekeeper muttered, sobbed, and wiped his tears. He was really sad. This was his grandson who had grown up in front of him.
"I'll do whatever Grandpa teaches me." Shi Yi went to look for Grandpa's figure, and found that his body was twitching, as if he was crying, and gently poked Meng Liangchao.
"Grandpa, it's time to cook." Meng Liangchao walked to his side and helped him straighten his clothes.
"Whatever dish, just listen to a few words from your sweetheart, and you'll be full." Grandpa deliberately raised his face high to show that he didn't care at all.
Yes, he was really angry.
Meng Liangchao walked to his side, scratched his palm, and said softly: "Grandpa, I want to eat braised lion's head."
"Why don't you let others cook it if you want to eat it?" Grandpa pulled his hand back to show that he was really angry just now.
"No one else's food is as delicious as yours. I grew up eating your food." Meng Liangchao put his face in front of him, blinking his big eyes to please the old man.
"Hehehe~ That's right, you have been eating my food since you were a child." The housekeeper looked at Shi Yi proudly, and said with high spirits: "What else do you want to eat? I am happy today, let's cook together." It is impossible to
compete with him, the third most important person in the Meng family's mansion, for favor. Unless you really pass this test, or give birth to a little grandson for the Meng family. Humph.
"I also want to eat hairy crabs. Only the hairy crabs you steam are fresh and tender, and with the sauce you personally make, I will never forget the taste for ten days or half a month." Meng Liangchao continued to flatter him.
"Then you can go out. You can eat later when I call you." The housekeeper wiped all the tears from his face, washed his hands carefully with soap, and began to prepare the ingredients.
"High." Shi Yi silently lip-synced, and secretly gave Meng Liangchao a thumbs-up.
"Cook well, I'm looking forward to it." Meng Liangchao silently lip-synced back to him.
"Don't think I don't know what you are doing because I didn't see you. My eyes are behind you." The housekeeper turned back quickly, Shi Yi turned back quickly, and Meng Liangchao strode out of the kitchen.
"Hmph. You only know how to bully the elderly." The housekeeper wiped his hands on the towel, and deliberately said with a sullen face: "Miss Lu is cooking for the first time, so the dishes should be simple. Just learn to stir-fry vegetables."
"Okay, okay." Shi Yi knew that the grandfather in front of him was jealous of her, and tried to please her in various ways.
"Housekeeper, you are the master, you try my dish first." As soon as the dish was placed on the table, Shi Yi enthusiastically invited him to come over and comment.
Under the gaze of the young master, the housekeeper nodded reluctantly, "Okay."
However, if you look closely, you will find that his trembling beard reveals his true heart.
"Come, try it." Shi Yi pushed the whole plate of stir-fried cabbage in front of Meng Liangchao.
"Hmm..." Meng Liangchao's mouth twisted a little. He can actually eat sugar-flavored cabbage in his lifetime.
"What's wrong? Does it taste bad?"
He saw the anxiety on Shi Yi's face, swallowed it in big mouthfuls, and praised, "It's really delicious."
The housekeeper looked at the young master's expression carefully, but did not find any special changes. Did he taste it wrong just now?
The chopsticks in his hand were just stretched out when they were hit back by Meng Liangchao.
"All mine, all mine."
"Okay, okay, I won't fight for it." The housekeeper sat down on the table, muttering in his heart again.
"Then you eat more." Shi Yi served him a big bowl of rice with a smile.
Many years ago, Meng Liangchao felt that this big house was very lonely. His father didn't come home all year round, and he couldn't find anyone to talk to except the housekeeper. But the housekeeper was not someone he could confide in. Over time, he developed a calm and even aloof personality, and would never talk for a long time if he could communicate simply. However, today, twenty years later, he suddenly discovered that this mansion began to have life.
It was the girl he liked who brought it to him and to this house.
