Chapter 432: Chapter 433: Don’t Worry, I Will Burn It

He thought, what’s so hard about cooking? He often went into the kitchen of his family’s restaurant, and he had roughly seen how dishes were prepared; he just hadn’t done it himself.

He definitely couldn’t manage to cook elaborate dishes, but these kinds of simple dishes that had never appeared in a restaurant should be easy to cook, right? Otherwise, how could Li Fugui make them taste so good? He didn’t believe that Li Fugui had a natural talent for cooking.

Li Fugui didn’t expect Chu Lian to make such a request. He stopped what he was doing and turned around, "Brother Chu, you really shouldn’t, just wait to eat."

Cooking wasn’t that easy, and he wouldn’t want him to cause any trouble; he was already busy enough cooking for so many people by himself.

The more he heard such words, the more Chu Lian felt underestimated. He continued, "Don’t worry, I can cook."

"..." He can cook? Li Fugui was somewhat incredulous, but seeing Chu Lian’s confident expression made him uncertain.

He felt ashamed of his past self once again. He had lived an easy life as the eldest young master, spending his days in idleness, not knowing how to do anything.

Perhaps, as another restaurant owner, Chu Lian might have studied it specifically. The rather foolish Li Fugui completely forgot that Chu Lian was someone who didn’t even know how to start a fire or wash dishes. Could he have really studied cooking?

"Alright then, I’ll trouble you, Brother Chu."

Seeing that Li Fugui had agreed, Chu Lian’s lips curled up in a smile. He washed his hands and truly began. He was full of confidence and couldn’t wait to show off his skills.

When he saw the ingredients, which were just potatoes, he picked up a peeled potato that Li Fugui had prepared, placed it on the cutting board, and took up the kitchen knife.

With a loud chopping sound, he began cutting the potatoes into large and small pieces. Chu Lian’s confidence diminished as he cut; could good dishes really be made like this?

Seeing the ruined ingredients, Li Fugui started to have doubts. Could he really do it? So, he spoke up, "Let me do the cutting."

This offer was like a lifeline to Chu Lian, yet he felt embarrassed for not knowing how to cut vegetables in front of Li Fugui. He quickly found an excuse to cover it up, "I’m not very familiar with these tasks, they are usually done by the helpers."

"Right." Li Fugui took the knife and began cutting the vegetables, speaking as he did so, "Actually, I’m not that great at chopping either. Knife skills aren’t something you can master in a day or two."

Chu Lian thought the same when he heard this, realizing that cutting vegetables well wasn’t easy. But when he saw Li Fugui’s knife skills, he no longer thought that way. It turned out Li Fugui’s words were just modesty to save Chu Lian from embarrassment.

Li Fugui had truly changed. The Li Fugui who used to speak aggressively and looked down on others was now considerate of others.

Quickly, a pile of potatoes was chopped up by Li Fugui. "I’ve been thinking, let me do the cooking. You might not have experience with cooking in bulk, and the seasoning can be tricky. I’ll save some aside, and you can cook our portions later."

Chu Lian thought it made sense. He had only seen chefs cook small portions, and he had never watched someone cook in large quantities, so he nodded in agreement.

The two of them got busy in the kitchen. Chu Lian wasn’t idle either; he assisted Li Fugui by maintaining the fire while Li Fugui handled the dishes.

When Yang Ming hurried over to check on the situation, this was the scene he saw.

He was surprised; these two wealthy young masters actually got together, and the most unexpected part was that they were cooking.

Shouldn’t they be composing poetry or appreciating flowers while sipping tea? He always felt that such scenes would be more fitting for them.
