Chapter 124 - Superb Culinary Skills
In the carriage, after Little Bell talked about her empty stomach, she thought of something and stared at Yun Qianyu. Her big eyes looked at Yun Qianyu lovingly and said, “Big sister, could you maybe treat me to some food? I’m really hungry.”
Yun Qianyu really wanted to facepalm. ‘If you’re hungry you could have just said so. No need to finish all those elixir pills, I would have given you as much food as you want.’
With the elixir pills already down the hatch, Yun Qianyu couldn’t say anything more. Looking at Little Bell, Yun Qianyu believed that she must have been very innocent and naive, ‘She probably wouldn’t understand it if I told her how wasteful she was with the elixir pills.’
“I can give you food, but wouldn’t your family worry about you? It’s already pretty late now, shouldn’t you be going home?”
When Yun Qianyu said this, Little Bell immediately began to feel aggrieved and said with her lips pursed, “My brother won’t let me go home. He said that if I stayed at home all the time, I would never grow up. He wanted me to go out and become stronger. But… I haven’t had a good meal since I left home.”
Little Bell had an angry expression when she talked about this. Yun Qianyu finally understood why the girl was wandering outside in the middle of the night. It turned out that her family had wanted her to mature and grow stronger.
Considering the fact that Little Bell had saved her earlier, Yun Qianyu thought that she might as well bring her home with her tonight and send her back tomorrow.
“Alright then, you can come with me tonight, and I’ll prepare something for you to eat.”
Feeling extremely joyous, Little Bell rushed to Yun Qianyu’s side, held onto her arm and rested her head on her shoulder, “Big sister, you’re such a good person, I’ll follow you from now on!”
Yun Qianyu’s whole body stiffened and a drop of sweat rolled down from her forehead. ‘She won’t have become attached to me, right? I must be thinking too much.’
The carriage went back to Eternal Peace Marquis’s Residence, while Xiao Yechen and Bai Yao took the few captured assassins back for interrogations.
Yun Qianyu went back to Black Bamboo Pavilion with Hua Mei and Little Bell. Because it was already late at night, the people in the big kitchen had all gone to sleep.
Not wanting to wake everyone up and make a big fuss, Yun Qianyu ordered Hua Mei to go to the big kitchen and get the leftover rice from lunch. In addition, she also told Hua Mei to prepare some minced meat, seafood and eggs. With all these ingredients she would be able to prepare some egg fried rice for them.
After receiving her orders, Hua Mei went to the big kitchen to get the ingredients. Because there was another mouth to feed and she didn’t know how much Little Bell ate, Hua Mei decided it was probably best if she grabbed a larger amount of ingredients.
In fact, Yun Qianyu was already very hungry, so much so that she felt that she could eat a whole cow. However, since both Hua Mei and Little Bell could not cook, she could only do the cooking herself.
Soon, the smell of stir-fried meats and egg came out from the kitchen in Black Bamboo Pavilion. Mouth already watering, Little Bell would praise Yun Qianyu’s cooking from time to time.
“Big sister, your cooking is superb. The food must be delicious. No, it must be very delicious.”
Thinking about how delicious the roasted rabbit made by the young miss was, Hua Mei couldn’t help nodding, “Mm-hmm, the young miss’s cooking is definitely amazing.”
When Yun Qianyu came out of the kitchen with a large plate of food, Hua Mei and Little Bell surrounded her like hungry pugs.
“How fragrant, young miss.”
“Big sister, this meal looks really good. It must be very delicious.”
Yun Qianyu’s egg fried rice was not only seasoned with scallion, oil and salt, but she had also added minced meat, seafood and eggs. Therefore, this plate of egg fried rice was not only delicious, but also looked very enticing, arousing people’s appetite.
Gawking at the plate of egg fried rice with her big eyes, Little Bell’s mouth started to water. Seeing this, Yun Qianyu found it amusing and adorable. She couldn’t refuse anything cute and adorable; no matter if it was a person or animal, as long as they looked cute and adorable, her heart would be softened.
“Well, let’s eat.”
