Chapter 2201: Cook Together (2)
Facing the sudden interest of Long Qian Xing and Nan Hua, none of the servants stepped forward to stop them.
They knew very well that no matter what they did, they could never ever offend Long Qian Xing and Nan Hua unless they want a miserable end. Even then, there was truly no need for them to offend someone, right?
Especially when they were already living quite a good life in the Long Family Residence. “What do you want to make?” Nan Hua asked.
“The easy one, soup,” Long Qian Xing replied. He looked at the fireplace and pursed his lips. Ancient kitchen was very different from the modern kitchen. The most important difference was that there was no method for them to control fire precisely aside from using the wood and
so on.
In this case, it would be difficult for them to cook exquisite food.
Long Qian Xing had to say that the chef in this era was really amazing. The food they made tasted good even when the kitchen’s state was like this.
The problem was…
Neither Long Qian Xing or Nan Hua had the skill to control the heat well.
So rather than cooking something difficult, it would be better for them to choose something that was easier to cook without the need to pay attention to the degree of the heat.
Soup.
Nan Hua heard Long Qian Xing’s words and nodded. “In that case, let’s start from picking the vegetables and cut them.”
“I’ll do it.”
“I can do it too.”
“Shall we see which one of us cut faster?” Long Qian Xing asked with a faint smile.
Ever since knowing Nan Hua’s ability, Long Qian Xing started to propose this kind of simple yet interesting game. In any case, no matter who won or lose among them, they would still cook together in the end.
Nan Hua arched her eyebrows and took the knife out. “Bring it on.”
With that, the small competition between Long Qian Xing and Nan Hua started.
…
Outside the kitchen, Long Ai Ning was peeking through the window with a bright smile on her face.
When she saw Long Qian Xing and Nan Hua entering the kitchen not long ago, Long Ai Ning felt that it was strange. After all, neither Long Qian Xing or Nan Hua were someone who often come to the kitchen.
In fact, most masters would not enter the kitchen at all.
Some daughter in law might enter the kitchen to please their mother in law, but many of them didn’t really learn the cooking skill and instead learn other skills. After all, there were more than enough servants who would serve them food.
“Be careful of falling,” Nan Si, who was leaning against the wall beside Long Ai Ning, reminded.
Long Ai Ning was standing on top of a somewhat uneven stone. This stone was pulled by Long Ai Ning so that she could peek through the window. The window on the kitchen was a bit higher and for Long Ai Ning, who was not very tall, she needed something to help her reach it.
“Don’t worry, I won’t fall.” Long Ai Ning grinned and then peeked once more. Seeing their synchronized movement when they were cutting the vegetables, Long Ai Ning sighed. “Their skills are really good.”
No matter what skills it was, as long as it was practiced to the level where they could use it almost effortlessly, it would look very pleasing to the eyes. This was the case for both Nan Hua and Long Qian Xing’s cutting skills.
The two of them were naturally not chefs and didn’t really learn cooking skills thoroughly.
But they were very good at using sharp weapons.
Their main practice was to control the sharp weapons to kill their enemies, but now, they were using this skill to cut vegetables.
Naturally, they did it quickly and neatly.
Thus, Long Ai Ning felt that the scene was really good.
“It’s not surprising,” Nan Si said calmly.
He himself had practiced using swords for a long time. And if it was just cutting some vegetables, even he could do it effortlessly to make thin and even cut.
Long Ai Ning grinned. “Do you want to take a look at them?”
Take a look at Master and Miss?
Nan Si shook his head. “No need. I don’t have the interest to look at what Miss and Master are doing.”
Unlike Long Ai Ning who have no qualms with peeking to see what Long Qian Xing and Nan Hua were doing, Nan Si had to restrain himself. His position was only Nan Hua’s shadow to do things that she was inconvenient to do.
For this reason, Nan Si was also not used to appear under the light.
He would rather stay in the darkness and did his work without asking any other questions.
That would be the best for him.
“It’s really interesting.” Long Ai Ning chuckled lightly and then jumped down. She might learn some basic martial arts to protect herself from her brother, but her skills were not very
high.
Staying on that uneven stone for a long time would be too tiring.
She also didn’t want to watch the entire process of Long Qian Xing and Nan Hua cooking all
the time.
Nan Si glanced at Long Ai Ning and then shook his head.
Only Long Ai Ning would think that watching Nan Hua and Long Qian Xing’s interaction was interesting. He had no interest for that and more importantly, he was sure that Nan Hua would not really allow her servants to continue watching in normal times.
The main reason why the two of them didn’t mind should be because they understood Long Ai
Ning’s personality.
She meant no harm to Long Qian Xing and Nan Hua.
She just wanted to see something sweet~.
“If you really like to watch other people’s interaction, why don’t you try to look for a partner
on your own?” Nan Si suddenly asked.
