Inside the room.
Zhou Qiaoqiao had already changed into a fresh and comfortable home outfit.
"Would the little wolfdog's cooking be terrible?"
"Or did he secretly practice for a long time, wanting to show off in front of me?"
"If it's not, and it's too bad, I'll just have him share the work."
The queen bee muttered to herself for a while.
In fact, all of the above were just excuses.
She just wanted to spend more time being close to Xu Mo.
No problem with that.
Clang.
As soon as the door opened.
An alluring aroma of food wafted in.
Zhou Qiaoqiao's smile stiffened for a moment.
Combined with Xu Mo's knack for always bringing unexpected surprises.
"No way? Does the little wolfdog really know how to cook?"
Zhou Qiaoqiao got used to it and then, limping like a duck, walked toward the kitchen, leaning on the staircase.
After a while.
She arrived at the kitchen.
Standing at the doorway.
The aroma of the food became even more intense.
Zhou Qiaoqiao had intended to greet Xu Mo.
But Xu Mo was now completely focused on handling the ingredients.
Please, boys who are serious are super handsome, right?
Boys who cook seriously are simply too invincible!!!
In an instant.
Zhou Qiaoqiao's heart was filled with happiness.
And not long after.
Xu Mo's hands paused, and he gave Zhou Qiaoqiao a sunny smile toward the doorway.
"Why not rest a little more?"
Zhou Qiaoqiao blinked her big eyes, showing her cute and adorable side as the queen bee, also smiling and joking, "I'm afraid the food you make would be inedible, not even for dogs."
Xu Mo, while washing the vegetables in his hand, replied, "Then someone better not turn into a little puppy later."
Zhou Qiaoqiao giggled, "Don't worry, I won't. I can't turn into a little puppy from eating my husband's food, can I?"
Xu Mo put aside his playful thoughts, "Go out first, the meal will be ready soon, it's too smoky in here."
Zhou Qiaoqiao shook her head and walked into the kitchen, "I'm not as delicate as you think."
"Alright." Xu Mo shrugged.
Continued to handle the ingredients.
And Zhou Qiaoqiao watched like a curious baby next to him.
Xu Mo picked up a piece of beef brisket and started cutting.
Without any flashy superfluous movements.
In one go.
Giving a refreshing and pleasing sight.
Zhou Qiaoqiao felt it was very comfortable to watch.
In no time.
The beef brisket was sliced into evenly sized pieces visible to the eye.
If someone were to measure it with a ruler at this moment.
They would be amazed to find out.
The pieces Xu Mo cut were all of the same size!
After cutting, the brisket was put into cold water.
If hot water was used, the blood water at the bottom of the soup wouldn't come out as easily.
What followed was simple.
As the temperature rose, the blood water from the beef came out.
Then the frothy blood was skimmed off.
Cleaned with cold water again.
Then another pot of water was heated.
When the water boiled.
The beef was added in.
Next, special seasoning was put in.
Let it simmer for about half an hour.
Winter eat radish, summer eat ginger.
Next, white radish was added, and it was about right.
While waiting.
Xu Mo also processed other ingredients.
Xu Mo placed a crucian carp on the cutting board.
Using a knife, he scraped off the scales.
Whoosh-----------------
The blade flashed.
A flat cut was made at the bottom of the fish.
Xu Mo deftly pulled out the internal organs from inside.
After removing the internal organs, the gills were taken out.
After washing.
The blade was placed on the fish's back.
Slowly pushed upwards.
The whole series of movements flowed like a river.
If there were seasoned chefs or skilled fish handlers present.
They would definitely exclaim, "Ancestors are showing their divine presence!"
"This is like Páo Dīng's bull!"
Zhou Qiaoqiao was stunned speechless.
Before she had time to react.
All the fish bones were cleanly removed by Xu Mo.
Xu Mo was preparing a special dish.
Boneless Steamed Crucian Carp.
Of course.
To make a good dish.
Seasoning is essential.
Sometimes the difference between dishes.
Depends on whether the seasoning is done well.
As Xu Mo operated!
The aroma in the kitchen had become very strong.
And Zhou Qiaoqiao's stomach also obediently let out a gurgling sound.
"Go out first."
"I don't want to, you said you'd let me watch."
"Hahaha-------I'm afraid you'll drool and affect your image, I still have the main dish later, I'm afraid you can't handle it."
"Hmph, o(￣ヘ￣o＃) can't handle it? Last night I got through it, haha is that all? Looking down on who?"
While Zhou Qiaoqiao said that, her body was still honest, reaching out to wipe the drool that had escaped from the corner of her mouth.
As time went on.
Zhou Qiaoqiao found herself starving.
There had never been a time.
That made her lose her composure like this.
Even the dishes made by top chefs.
She was used to it.
Since almost every day she could eat them.
But it was different with Xu Mo.
Zhou Qiaoqiao seemed to have discovered new territory.
"Ah, little wolfdog, when will we eat??? I'm dying of hunger."
Zhou Qiaoqiao urged in a coquettish manner.
Her eyes staring straight at the dish that was already prepared.
Xu Mo replied while dealing with the other dishes, "Right away, right away."
At this moment, the aroma of the meal.
Had already spread to the living room.
Fortunately, Xu Fuqiang, Su Ting, and Xu Shi were not home.
Otherwise, given the old man's disposition.
He would definitely pull out the seven-headed wolf again.
And shout.
"Ingrate! You have such good cooking skills, why didn't you tell me? You let your father and mother eat simple meals every day, what's your intention? Today, I will execute justice on my own kin and kill you."
And Xu Shi would be even more straightforward.
The scheming big loli, while licking a lollipop, would say.
"Brother~~~~brother~~~~you actually know how to cook."
"Brother~~~~brother~~~~I eat your food, will your wife be mad?"
"Yay!!! Brother~~~ this dish is so delicious, I want more, I want more."
Gurgle-----------------Gurgle'
Zhou Qiaoqiao's little stomach unreasonably protested again.
It was already the umpteenth time.
Initially, Zhou Qiaoqiao's small face turned slightly red.
In the end.
She just accepted it.
What's there to be afraid of, being together for so long?
So what if it’s embarrassing?
"Xu Mo, how long more?"
The queen bee pouted her little mouth, this time really a bit dissatisfied.
Can't even feed me.
What do you say you love me with?
With love alone?
For things that can only be seen but not eaten.
Zhou Qiaoqiao was extremely dissatisfied.
Wait till the year of the monkey and the month of the horse!
Xu Mo finished the last step, the coating.
"Alright, all done, go out now. I'll bring these dishes out."
"I'll go with you!"
"You still have trouble walking, right?"
"------------o(￣ヘ￣o＃) humph, I'm not talking to you."
The queen bee's face turned slightly red, pretending to be angry and walked out.
Still, inside she was sweet.
Seeing as you showed off a skill, I'll graciously forgive you.
