Chapter 354: Chapter 354: You Were Born to Be a Chef

Having washed her face, Wang Xiangxiang, thinking about the young master’s gleeful demeanor just moments ago, felt utterly disgusted. So, she said to him, "Like you can do any better. You’re mocking me? If you’re so capable, why don’t you try cooking?"

Chu Lian, who had been yelled at by this aggressive woman, couldn’t just back down. Although he wasn’t skilled at cooking either, he still strutted to the stove and said, "I will cook, you get out of the way."

Wang Xiangxiang huffed and stepped aside. She wanted to see if the Eldest Young Master could actually do it.

As expected, Chu Lian also ended up with a smoke-blackened face. Wang Xiangxiang held her belly at the side, laughing uncontrollably, completely lacking any ladylike demeanor.

"And you were saying? Aren’t you the same?"

Li Fugui, standing to the side, was already helpless. These two were not helping at all, they were just adding chaos. He still had things to do. At this rate, everyone would be starving by noon.

He managed to get the fire going again and demonstrated to Chu Lian how to do it properly. Seeing that he could keep it going, Li Fugui finally went off to tend to other tasks.

Seeing that the scoundrel could now help with the cooking, Wang Xiangxiang didn’t want to be outdone. So she said to Li Fugui, "Li Fugui, I’ll help you cook."

"..." Chu Lian, upon hearing this, couldn’t help scoffing. She couldn’t even manage the fire, and now she wanted to help cook? What kind of food would that produce?

Hearing the scoundrel’s scoff, Wang Xiangxiang was determined to prove him wrong, and that she wasn’t that useless. So, she followed Li Fugui around, helping here and there.

"Li Fugui, I’ll wash the bok choy for you."

"Li Fugui, how much water should I put in this?"

"Li Fugui, how do I stick this pancake?"

"Li Fugui, can I help you chop the vegetables?"

"Li Fugui, are you starting on the tofu now?"

"Li Fugui, I didn’t realize you actually knew how to cook."

"..."

"..."

In the kitchen, Wang Xiangxiang kept buzzing around behind Li Fugui, talking non-stop, and Li Fugui responded gently, missing his usual authoritative tone.

The harmonious atmosphere made Chu Lian feel quite redundant, and he found Wang Xiangxiang’s frequent mention of "Li Fugui" grating to his ears.

Even he didn’t know where this irritation came from, but there he remained, silently brooding.

"It’s done, it’s ready."

"Li Fugui, serve me a bowl. I want to try it."

Seeing that Wang Xiangxiang insisted on tasting it, Li Fugui reluctantly served her a bowl and handed it to her.

"This is a big pot meal; it’s not as good as the smaller dishes. Be careful, it’s hot. Later, I’ll make a smaller batch just for you two," he said.

What Li Fugui said was just ordinary concern, fearing that these young masters and ladies were not accustomed to dining this way. In the past, he wouldn’t have been able to eat it either.

To Chu Lian, however, these seemed like words of endearment. Could someone really fancy this feisty girl? He couldn’t help scoffing again.

Wang Xiangxiang received the bowl and blew on it, then took a sip of the tofu soup with a somber expression, "Li Fugui, how long have you been learning to cook?"

Hearing this, Chu Lian still looked smug. See, it must taste terrible. Just as he thought, Li Fugui had never cooked before, how could it be good?

"About half a month, why?" Li Fugui replied while plating some dishes.

"Li Fugui, it’s delicious! Now I believe you were born to be a chef," she exclaimed.

Hearing this, Chu Lian was shocked as he looked at the serving dishes. They didn’t look appetizing. Could it actually taste good? Was there something wrong with the feisty girl’s taste?
