"It's okay, Sheng Yi, stay here. I'm not very good at cooking yet, can you teach me while we're at it?"
It's still early, let's make more and finish eating sooner, then you can take some back to Grandpa Sheng. There's still time.
Sheng Yi had secretly wanted to stay, but he was hesitant because he was worried about the impact on her reputation.
Now that Zhu Qinghao had offered to teach him how to cook, he found an excuse and agreed after a moment's hesitation.
He nodded, and Zhu Qinghao became happy. She ran into the house and took out the meat that Si Tian had brought back earlier, taking a portion of pork and a portion of beef.
"This is what Tian Tian and I just bought recently, hehe. Sheng Yi, can you teach me how to make braised pork today, and also stir-fried beef? I want to eat it, but I'm not very good at it and I'm afraid I'll ruin the ingredients."
Sheng Yi stepped forward, naturally took the things from her hands, and nodded slightly.
"Okay, I'll make it for you today. You can watch from the side and ask me anytime if you don't understand something."
My grandfather and I are really lucky today; we even have beef! Shall we add some cabbage and stir-fry it together?
Zhu Qinghao didn't really want to eat cabbage, so she blinked and tentatively offered her opinion.
"Use green peppers? There are still some in the cellar. They're a bit wilted, but they should still taste good. Besides, I've tried those peppers before; they're not very spicy, so Grandpa Sheng can eat them too."
After saying that, she rushed to the cellar, brought up half a bag of wilted-looking green peppers, and presented them to Sheng Yi.
These green peppers were picked by Zhu Qinghao from her spatial storage. To prevent anyone from noticing anything amiss, she picked them in advance and stored them in the cellar, and now they've come in handy.
Sheng Yi glanced at the basket of green peppers and raised an eyebrow in surprise, clearly not expecting that she would still have fresh green peppers here, although they weren't very fresh.
“Okay, then we’ll use chili peppers. We’ve been eating a lot of cabbage lately, so let’s change things up.”
"Okay, I'll help you."
Zhu Qinghao's suggestion was affirmed, and she made no attempt to hide her joy, happily getting to work.
Sheng Yi watched Zhu Qinghao's cheerful figure, shook his head with a faint smile, and rolled up his sleeves to get busy.
While his hands were busy working, his mind was also constantly working.
Looking at Zhu Qinghao, who was helping to prepare the food, he hesitated for a long time before finally speaking in a tactful manner.
"Alright, alright, you two, safety is the most important thing on weekdays. If there's anything you want but it's hard to buy, you can ask me, and I'll find someone to help you. Otherwise, it's too dangerous for two girls like you."
Zhu Qinghao was stunned for a moment before realizing what he was talking about. She then smiled gently and nodded seriously.
"Okay, Sheng Yi, thank you. I'll remember. But these things are from a very safe source."
Don't worry, we won't do anything too risky. After all, my family is waiting for me.
After listening, Sheng Yi realized that he might have been overthinking things, so he nodded knowingly and didn't say anything more.
That's true. Zhu Qinghao's family is all here, so they probably wouldn't do anything dangerous.
The two then changed the subject and talked about other things. The whole process was warm and interesting, and Zhu Qinghao's laughter could be heard from time to time.
After finishing his meal, Sheng Yi insisted on cleaning up the kitchen before taking the food that Zhu Qinghao had set aside for Old Master Sheng, packing it up, and bringing it back.
At this time of day, everyone was either cooking or eating, and there were hardly any people outside, so no one saw Sheng Yi come out of Zhu Qinghao's house, not even Si Tian next door.
When Sheng Yi returned to the infirmary, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and cheerfully called out to Grandpa Sheng to come out for dinner.
"Grandpa? Are you hungry? Come and eat!"
