My Husband, a Marshal: Conquering the Stars with My Culinary Arts Chapter 297 - 101 Tea Egg3

But... things always seem to go wrong.

[——Boiling eggs, I can do that. Boiling tea leaves, I can barely manage. But cracking eggs... I might be using too much force.

——We didn’t have any tea leaves at ho, so I only did the boiling and cracking steps. It went well at first, but now I’ve ruined seven out of ten eggs, and I’ve eaten three of them.

——I finally managed to sneak so tea leaves from dad, but I failed right from the step of boiling eggs... Why do my eggs always crack in the water? Are they trying to save the trouble by cracking on their own?

——Apparently, LS didn’t pay enough attention in Mrs.’s class. Mrs. taught us the thod for boiling eggs. If they crack, it’s either because the egg had tiny cracks that let water in while boiling, or the egg suddenly heats up, causing the white and yolk to expand and explode.

——That’s right! At such tis, you can boil eggs in cold water, just like Mrs. did earlier. You can also add so salt to the water, which Mrs. said is effective.

——All good kids who pay attention in class!

——Thinking back, I wasn’t even this attentive in the prep classes before the interstellar examination. If Mrs. were my teacher, I would definitely pay attention even to the toughest science questions!

——Mrs. as a teacher...

——That would be a classroom packed to the brim!

...

——I don’t know if Mrs. will be a teacher, but it seems Blue Star University is planning to open a Food Departnt next year. A lot of juniors might want to join, right?

——Food Departnt! Is it the culinary skills we’re learning here with Mrs.? Really?

——LLS is telling the truth. The students at Blue Star University have been hearing about this for a while. The news has spread, but it hasn’t been finalized, so it hasn’t been officially announced.

——If the Food Departnt starts next year, the policy will likely be announced around April or May. If Blue Star University opens a Food Departnt, other universities might follow suit.

——No way! Blue Star University! How could we possibly get in? There’s about half a year left before the interstellar examination, I must work hard!

——Next year, huh? I graduated last year! Can I enroll again? Is switching departnts an option?

——Am I too useless? There are so many top students among us! How co everyone’s a student of Blue Star University!

——LS, don’t overthink it. It can’t be all students, right?

——Exactly, there are also class representatives and professors!

The cracked eggs were placed in the rich and flavorful tea soup. The deep red and black tea blended with the powdery-white eggs, creating a srizing dynamic image as the soup bubbled.

"If you prefer sothing mild, just simr for around ten minutes. But if you want a stronger flavor, it’ll take about an hour," Du Xixi said with her usual gentle smile, covering the pot. "Of course, you can cook it even longer if you can handle the saltiness."

Du Xixi made a rookie mistake the first ti she cooked tea eggs, intending to simr for half an hour but ended up cooking for an hour due to misreading the ti. The tea eggs looked nice when taken out, but they tasted quite salty.

This ti, Du Xixi was sticking to her half-hour routine. When the ti was up, she removed the lid and fished out the eggs, releasing the rich aroma of salty tea which wafted all the way to the living room and into Ke Xing’s nose.

Having just napped with his two grandchildren, he and the kids were sitting on the couch, groggily waking up. While Yiyi and Er Er were thrilled by the sll, Ke Xing himself couldn’t hold back and stood up, bringing the children with him to the kitchen.

As Ke Xing knocked on the kitchen door, Du Xixi was peeling the shell off a tea egg. The interior, a light reddish-brown, dropped into a clean white porcelain bowl with a bit of juice flowing down from it, tempting anyone who saw it.

Upon hearing the knock, Du Xixi looked up and smiled knowingly, quickly motioning for 2569 to open the door. As expected, it was Ke Xing, a tea enthusiast, at the door.

Ke Xing’s love for tea has always been a habit. Although he drank less tea when Du Xixi was pregnant due to concerns about 2569 brewing the wrong kind of tea and mistakenly giving Du Xixi strong tea, privately, Du Xixi was aware of Ke Xing’s preference for strong tea.

Especially in the mories of the original Du, when Ke Xing, the uncle, visited the Du Family, Du’s father and Du Mu always had the household robot prepare strong tea, saying Ke Xing needed very strong tea to feel comfortable.

"Dad, co have a taste!" Since the two kids couldn’t eat tea eggs, they watched wide-eyed as Ke Xing handed them over to 2569, washed his hands at the sink, grabbed a tea egg, and started peeling and eating.

Ke Xing was a regular in Du Xixi’s live streaming room. Initially, viewers respected him greatly, which made them feel intimidated. But by now, they could watch him normally.

In fact, seeing Ke Xing eat so happily, viewers even teased that Ke Xing’s eating habits aren’t all that different from theirs.
