Chapter 14: Cooking Skills
At Qingshui Villa, after Mi Lanxi sent Fu Xiyang away, she asked Qingdong to take her to familiarize herself with everything in the Villa.
Qingdong did his best to her, not only familiarizing her with the layout of the villa, but also introducing everyone in the villa.
After Mi Lanxi became familiar with the affairs of the villa, Qingdong took her back to her room.
"Girl, this is your room. Take a look. Does this room need any changes?" Qingdong said as he led Mi Lanxi into an antique bedroom.
Mi Lanxi looked at the furnishings of the room and was very satisfied with everything in the room.
"This is good, there is no need to change anything." Mi Lanxi said to Qingdong calmly.
Qingdong smiled slightly and asked Mi Lanxi: "Girl, you have been busy all morning. Do you want to rest now or have lunch?"
As soon as Mi Lanxi heard that she was going to have a meal, her eyes immediately lit up.
For her, this little amount of exercise in the morning doesn't even count as a warm-up.
No rest is needed at all.
The food here is delicious, but eating is more important.
"No need to rest, let's go have dinner?" Mi Lanxi said to Qingdong expectantly.
Qingdong responded with a smile.
She took Mi Lanxi out of the room and walked towards the dining room.
On the way, she said to Mi Lanxi: "Today's meal was cooked by my mother herself. Her cooking is delicious. I hope the girl likes it too."
After hearing what Qingdong said, Mi Lanxi looked forward to today's lunch even more.
I wonder who is better in cooking between Zhou's and the chefs in the General's Mansion?
When Mi Lanxi and Qingdong came to the dining hall, today's lunch was already set on the dining table.
Two meat dishes, one vegetable dish and one soup!
Qingdong led Mi Lanxi to sit on the main seat. She gave Mi Lanxi a bowl of rice and stood next to Mi Lanxi to serve her dishes.
She carefully introduced the dishes on the table to Mi Lanxi.
"This is braised pork belly with pickled vegetables. It is made of fat and lean pork belly. Try it, girl!"
Qingdong put a piece of pork belly into Mi Lanxi's bowl.
Mi Lanxi tasted it. The meat was fat but not greasy. It melted in your mouth. It tasted waxy and mellow. The sourness of the pickled vegetables just neutralized the taste of the meat. It was delicious!
"Girl, you won't get tired of eating this meat." Qingdong reminded.
Mi Lanxi took a bite of rice.
Seeing that she had finished her meal, Qingdong picked up another meat dish and put it in her bowl: "Girl, this is steamed seabass with eggs. It is steamed with eggs, seabass fillets, and green onions and ginger. It's so fresh.
You try it."
Seeing the aroma of the fish fillets in the stew pot, Qingdong swallowed his saliva.
Mi Lanxi picked up the fish fillet and took a bite.
Such a natural taste, I never thought fish could be so delicious.
The egg flavor combined with the sweetness of fish will definitely make Star Cubs love it.
Mi Lanxi couldn't help but take two more bites.
Qingdong continued to introduce: "This is boiled cabbage. The cabbage is blanched until it is cooked to perfection, and the fragrant minced garlic soup is drizzled on top. The taste is just right."
Mi Lanxi picked up the cabbage sum and put it in her mouth. The taste of the soup coupled with the fresh green vegetables was really just right.
"This is pork rib soup, with strips of pork ribs, meat sandwiched between the bones, and the corn and carrots in the soup are very fragrant. It seems simple, but the soup noodles are filled with a warm fragrance. Just looking at it will increase your appetite."
Qingdong suddenly felt hungry.
Although she often eats the food cooked by her mother, she still can't help but drool when she sees these dishes.
Mi Lanxi noticed her embarrassment and asked, "Do you want to eat?"
Qingdong shook his head and said to Mi Lanxi: "I will wait until the girl finishes eating before eating. My mother left some food for me in the kitchen."
While Mi Lanxi was eating, she said to Qingdong: "You can go down and eat too. I don't like people standing next to me while I'm eating."
Qingdong's heart warmed up and he stopped insisting and said to Mi Lanxi: "Young girl, call me after you finish eating. I will be in the kitchen."
"Go, go!" Mi Lanxi waved her hand and said.
Qingdong bowed to Mi Lanxi before retreating.
In the dining room, when Mi Lanxi was eating alone, her speed sped up a lot.
After a while, she finished the food on the table without finishing it.
Mi Lanxi wiped her mouth and thought of the kitchen that Qingdong had mentioned.
Don’t know what an ancient kitchen looked like?
Mi Lanxi planned to go to the kitchen to take a look.
------------------
In the kitchen, Qingdong was picking up the food and said to Mrs. Zhou in a unclear voice: "Mom, the food you cook is as delicious as ever. When I stayed at the General's Mansion, I always thought about my mother's food."
"Now that I'm back, I can eat the food cooked by my mother every day. It's great!" Qingdong smiled with satisfaction.
Zhou laughed and nodded Qingdong's forehead: "I can't even shut your mouth when eating. This is just an ordinary home-cooked dish. How can it be as delicious as you said?"
"What? The chef in the General's Mansion didn't satisfy your appetite?"
While mother and daughter were talking in the kitchen, Mi Lanxi happened to come outside the kitchen.
When Qingdong saw Mi Lanxi, he was startled: "Girl, have you finished eating? Do you have anything to do with Qingdong?"
Mi Lanxi looked at the kitchen curiously. She saw Qingdong eating and said to Qingdong: "I'm fine. You finish the meal first. I just want to take a look at the kitchen."
"Look, look!" Qingdong stood up and walked to the corner to look at Mi Lanxi.
Mi Lanxi walked to the stove and looked at the pots and pans on the stove in confusion.
"What are these?" Mi Lanxi asked.
Qingdong looked at Mi Lanxi strangely. She had long noticed that Mi Lanxi was different.
Mi Lanxi does not have the concept of dignity and inferiority. Her usual words and deeds are not like those of a lady, but she is very elegant and elegant.
There is a contradictory feeling about her. She treats others in an easy-going manner, as if she is from a commoner family.
However, she does not understand many common sense of life, and she is like a daughter of a wealthy family living in a deep house.
Just like now, she doesn't even know the pots and pans in the kitchen.
When Qingdong was in a daze, Mrs. Zhou tugged at the corner of her clothes.
"Oh!" Qingdong reacted instantly, and she patiently introduced everything in the kitchen to Mi Lanxi.
"This is a steamer, used for cooking."
"This is a wok, used for cooking."
"There are also bowls, chopsticks, plates, knives, basins, stir-frying cauldrons, stew pots, spoons..."
Mi Lanxi followed Qingdong, identifying the kitchen tools one by one, and then curiously asked Mr. Zhou: "Is it difficult to cook?"
"It's not difficult!" Zhou blurted out.
For her, cooking is not difficult at all.
Mi Lanxi recalled the taste of lunch and suddenly thought: If she learned to cook, would she be able to continue to eat meals like this after returning to the interstellar?
"Can I learn?" Mi Lanxi asked seriously.
"Ah?" Qingdong and Zhou were both stunned for a moment. They did not expect that Mi Lanxi would make such a request.
"Can't you?" Mi Lanxi didn't want to give up.
