Qin Youyou propped up her chin and looked out the window. When she heard someone knocking on the door, she was slightly startled. "Who is it?" This morning, Su Yanqi came to ask her to go to breakfast, but she refused. She was not related to Su Yanqi, so what was the point of her going with him when they were having a family reunion?
"Me." Su Yanqi's voice came from outside the door.
Qin Youyou bit her lip, stood up hesitantly, walked forward and opened the door, "Is there something wrong?" Su Yanqi outside the door was extraordinarily handsome, his short black hair shining in the sunlight. When he smiled, he showed a row of big white teeth, and a healthy and clear breath came to her face, which made people feel good.
"Don't you want to learn how to make snacks from Uncle Zhong? Uncle Zhong is free now, I'll take you there." Su Yanqi said.
"Okay." Qin Youyou nodded in response. After learning to make dim sum, she would have a skill. Her cooking skills were decent, but she couldn't make dim sum. The main reason was that there weren't that many requirements for food on the Tianyue Continent.
"Let's go." Su Yanqi led the way.
Qin Youyou followed him. She realized Su Yanqi wasn't upset by what happened last night, and she felt relieved. She must have been overthinking it. Su Yanqi didn't have any unusual feelings for her, and Su Jinyue was just joking with her third brother. She was just taking it too seriously.
"Uncle Zhong's residence is in front. When he's not busy, he cooks some food and drinks alone." Su Yanqi said. After discovering Uncle Zhong's habit, he would come to drink with Uncle Zhong whenever he had time.
"Does Uncle Zhong know that I want to learn how to make dim sum from him?" Qin Youyou asked. She was a little worried that Uncle Zhong would not be willing to teach her.
"I've already told Uncle Zhong about this," Su Yanqi said. He had gone to Uncle Zhong specifically this morning to tell him about this.
"Thank you!" Qin Youyou thanked.
Su Yanqi smiled and took Qin Youyou into the courtyard where Uncle Zhong lived.
In the small courtyard, Uncle Zhong was sitting there drinking by himself. Seeing Su Yanqi and Qin Youyou come in, he smiled and waved to them, "Third Young Master, come and sit down. I knew you were coming, so I specially prepared several small dishes today." His family had lived in Medical Valley for generations. Medical Valley was his home, and the people of Medical Valley were his family. Although his job was to cook in the kitchen, Su Lihe and the others had never treated him like a servant and had always been very kind to him.
"Okay." Su Yanqi smiled and nodded, then he and Qin Youyou walked to sit across from Uncle Zhong. "Uncle Zhong, this is Qin Youyou."
Uncle Zhong picked up the wine jug and poured a glass of wine for Su Yanqi and Qin Youyou. "Miss Qin, I heard from the Third Young Master that you want to learn how to make dim sum from me?"
Qin Youyou nodded and said, "I want to open a snack shop in the future."
"Making dim sum isn't as easy as you might think. You have to be prepared for hard work and be persistent." Uncle Zhong took a sip from his wine glass, his face full of enjoyment. This wine was given to him by Su Yanqi that morning. It had a delicate fragrance, a soft texture, and was very pleasing to the mouth. It was considered a top-notch wine.
"I understand." Qin Youyou nodded. The most difficult thing in the world was cultivation. If she could persevere in cultivation, how could she not persist in making snacks?
Uncle Zhong put down his wine glass, took a bite of food, put it in his mouth, chewed it slowly and said, "Starting tomorrow, you come to my courtyard at this time every day, and I will teach you one dim sum dish a day."
"Okay, thank you, Uncle Zhong!" Qin Youyou replied. She had been hoping to learn how to make two dim sum dishes a day, but fearing Uncle Zhong might be dissatisfied, she agreed. As a cultivator, her learning speed was naturally unmatched by ordinary people. As long as she used her spiritual sense to focus on the entire process while Uncle Zhong was making the dim sum, she would be able to memorize every step and ingredient.
Uncle Zhong nodded in satisfaction and called Qin Youyou and Su Yanqi, saying, "Have some food. These are all new dishes I just researched."
"I'm in for a treat today. I've had so many delicious snacks this morning, and now I can try new dishes." Su Yanqi picked up a piece of crispy meat with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth with a look of enjoyment on his face. "This is delicious, Qin Youyou, you should try it too."
Qin Youyou smiled and nodded, reaching out to pick up a piece of the vegetable that looked a bit like a radish and putting it in her mouth. The taste of it made her frown relax. "This is delicious! Uncle Zhong, your cooking skills are really good! Can you teach me how to cook too?" Comparing her cooking skills with Uncle Zhong's, she finally understood the saying "no comparison, no harm". She realized that the cooking skills she used to be so proud of were really not that good.
"Sure, but I'll teach you after you've learned how to make dim sum," Uncle Zhong said with a smile. A meal should be eaten bite by bite. If Qin Youyou's dim sum satisfied him, he would consider teaching her his cooking skills.
Su Yanqi and Qin Youyou stayed at Uncle Zhong's place until dinner was almost ready, then they left. After some small talk, Qin Youyou gained a deeper understanding of food. Earth was not like the Tianyue Continent, where eating was just a formality, dispensable. But for people on Earth, eating was essential. They had many sayings related to food, such as "food is the first necessity of the people" and "people are made of iron and rice is steel, and one will be hungry if they don't eat a meal." This shows the importance people on Earth place on food. She felt that if she opened a dim sum shop in the future, it would definitely have business.
"Thank you, Su Yanqi!" Qin Youyou looked at Su Yanqi and thanked him. If Su Yanqi hadn't helped her talk to Uncle Zhong, Uncle Zhong might not have been willing to teach her how to make dim sum.
"Do you need to be so polite? We are friends, aren't we? Isn't it normal for friends to help each other?" Su Yanqi said a little unhappy. He didn't want Qin Youyou to be so distant with him.
"Then I won't say thank you anymore." Qin Youyou took out a black halberd and handed it to Su Yanqi. "This is for you." She had found this halberd on a dead cultivator, and she had never dared to use it. Her cultivation was too low, and if anyone saw her using such a high-level magical weapon, it would bring her death. Furthermore, the halberd was too rigid, making it unsuitable for a woman like her to wield.
"Use it yourself." Su Yanqi shook his head. He knew at a glance that the halberd was a high-level magical weapon.
"I'm not very suitable for using the halberd. You use it. I'm going back." Qin Youyou handed the halberd to Su Yanqi and walked quickly towards her own courtyard. This was the first time she gave something to a man. Although she didn't mean it that way, she still felt a little embarrassed.
Su Yanqi watched Qin Youyou leave, then looked at the halberd in his hand, smiled, and walked towards his yard. She gave him a gift, so shouldn't he also prepare a return gift?
