Chapter 10 Cooking
Yu Zhi was eating slowly and leisurely, not missing the smug look that Yu Yi gave her.
Doesn't Yu Yi intend to continue playing the role of a good sister to her?
She had managed to win back a city by crying, but she had resorted to such a big trick on such a small matter. What was she going to do next? She couldn't cry every day and cry away all the blessings of the Yu family.
Yu Yao felt a strange feeling in his heart.
He was not like Li Shurong, who was confused by Yu Yi's crying. Instead, he was unable to understand Yu Yi's inexplicable crying.
Since Zhizhi came back, she has only received one red envelope from her mother, while Xiaoli has received countless red envelopes since he was a child. He often goes shopping with his mother and does not have to pay for any expenses himself.
Why am I still getting emotional about this?
He just felt that something was wrong, but he still couldn't figure it out. He could only use the serving chopsticks to add some food to Yu Zhi: "Eat more, you are too thin."
Yu Yi then noticed the new optical computer on Yu Yao's wrist and asked in confusion, "Ayao, didn't you say that the S19 series didn't offer much improvement and you weren't planning to upgrade?"
"Ah, is there?" Yu Yao paused and laughed, "I think the updates this time are quite practical. I just happened to benefit from Zhizhi's help, so I changed them together."
What's practical? He was just complaining that the developers at InNet were just there to do nothing.
Yu Yu rolled his eyes in his heart. He was afraid that Yu Yao had gone to find a master who inherited the ancient skills to learn face-changing for Yu Zhi.

the next day.
Yu Ji and Li Shurong took an anti-gravity aircraft to Dust Sea Star early in the morning.
"Zhizhi, what are you planning to do today?" Yu Yao asked with concern.
If his sister wants to go somewhere, he can accompany her.
Yu Zhi thought for a moment and said, "We walked all day yesterday, so let's just rest at home today."
"That's fine." Yu Yao nodded.
Yu Zhi's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had a good idea: "Brother, how about I cook lunch? It's also a thank you for accompanying me shopping yesterday."
Yu Yao looked at her in surprise: "Are you doing this yourself?"
"Yes." Yu Zhi responded as a matter of course, "Don't worry, I promise you won't have a stomachache."
Yu Yao laughed: "I will eat the meal you made with your own hands even if it makes me have a stomachache."
Yu Yu heard their conversation in the living room and came over with a surprised look on his face: "Xiao Zhi, you want to cook?"
"Why don't we let Uncle Chen and the others do it?" She added with a worried look on her face, "It's not that I think you can't do it well, I'm just worried that you might accidentally hurt yourself."
"Besides, the ingredients at home are pretty expensive. Many people can't afford natural ingredients these days. Why don't we not waste them?"
From her words, she was certain that Yu Zhi couldn't cook at all and would definitely waste the food.
Yu Zhi didn't insist, but her almond-shaped eyes, which had been sparkling just now, dimmed suddenly. She twisted her fingers and said listlessly, "Well... well then."
Why didn't Yu Zhi refute her but also agreed with her?
"It's just some food, it's a waste if it's wasted. Zhizhi, just do what you want." Yu Yao didn't want to see Yu Zhi's disappointed look, "and it just so happens that I haven't cooked before, so I want to try it too!"
Yu Yi reacted and realized that with the fool Yu Yao around, Yu Zhi only needed to retreat in order to advance, and naturally someone would help her charge forward.
She forced a smile and said, "Yeah, then I'll be looking forward to eating the delicious food you guys make."
Yu Zhi probably had no idea of the complex and numerous steps involved in preparing natural ingredients in a household like theirs. She probably thought she could just mess around with some inflexible kitchen robot.
But she couldn't let Uncle Chen and others stay in the kitchen to help, she had to embarrass Yu Zhi.
Thinking of this, Yu Yu became active again and took the initiative to ask the servants to give Uncle Chen and others half a day off so that they could go out and have a rest.
Yu Yao originally wanted to suggest that someone should stay to provide guidance, but he was afraid of hurting Yu Zhi's self-esteem, so he didn't say anything.

Yu Zhi did not have any experience in interstellar cooking, but the original owner had memories of seeing the cooking process in the kitchen when she was working as a helper in a restaurant.
Apart from the fact that kitchen utensils, stoves and other tools are more advanced and convenient, there is not much difference from the world before she traveled through time.
Ingredients are ultimately just vegetables, meat, spices, and grains, and the processing methods remain the same.
They got down to work right away. Yu Zhi and Yu Yao went to the kitchen, and she started selecting the ingredients.
"For three people, let's make three dishes and a soup." Yu Zhi muttered to herself, "Tomatoes, eggs, honey pork..."
She took out the ingredients she liked from the refrigerator, and Yu Yao took them with great interest and placed them on the processing table.
"Zhizhi, what am I responsible for?" he asked impatiently.
Although he agreed at first just to prevent Yu Zhi from feeling disappointed, when the two of them stayed in the kitchen together, Yu Yao was actually looking forward to it. This was a "new and exciting area" that he had never been exposed to before.
"Hmm..." Yu Zhi thought for a moment, "Help me prepare the dishes. First, wash the tomatoes and blanch the skins, then beat the eggs and mix them well... like this..."
Although Yu Yao didn't know anything, fortunately he was very obedient and learned quickly. After a while, he got the hang of it under Yu Zhi's patient teaching.
He was beating the eggs diligently and asked curiously, "Zhizhi, how do you know all this?"
Yu Zhi was blanching the meat at the other end. They were nearly ten meters apart, so she had to speak louder. "I learned this when I was working in a restaurant."
Upon hearing this, Yu Yao quickly put down the egg beater and ran to Yu Zhi's side: "Are you very tired? If Zhizhi is tired, she doesn't have to cook for us."
He was worried that Yu Zhi offered to cook herself just to please them.
"I'm not tired." Yu Zhi had her hands full, so she nudged Yu Yao affectionately and said, "Go and help me prepare the food!"
Yu Yao walked back dizzy, his ears burning, and he almost dropped the eggshell into the egg liquid.
My sister is so close to him!

The two were busy in the kitchen, while Yu Yu was sitting in the living room looking a little absent-minded.
Her laptop rang. It was a message from Wei Yuan, asking her out for dinner.
Yu Yu sat up straight in surprise, and was about to accept the invitation when he suddenly thought of something.
Her fingertips scratched the leather sofa intermittently, like a poisonous snake roaming in the jungle waiting for an opportunity to strike.
Yu Yu replied to Wei Yuan: [Xiao Zhi is going to cook for us today, why don’t you come over and eat with us, Yuan?]
Wei Yuan wanted to forget it, but then he recalled how Yu Zhi had completely changed the way she looked yesterday. It seemed like Yu's parents had gone to outer space, so it would be helpful for him to go look after them.
[Okay.] Wei Yuan replied.
Yu Yi showed a smile of success. She did not tell Yu Zhi and Yu Yao that Wei Yuan was coming, but quietly went upstairs to dress up.
If I had told her in advance, Yu Zhi might not have cooked it herself, but instead ordered some takeout to fool her.
Thinking that she would meet Wei Yuan later and that it would further worsen his impression of Yu Zhi, she couldn't help but feel happy. She put on her makeup carefully while humming a song softly.
There is a sound and odor isolation system between the first and second floors, so Yu Yu was completely unaware of the aroma that was gradually spreading downstairs and was enough to make one's mouth water.
