Chapter 35: Chapter 35 Mortal Realm’s Delicacies
Qin Zhengyang went to the bathroom while Wu Tian headed to the kitchen.
At the sa ti, Xia Yung also got up. She felt uncomfortable if she didn’t have a drink imdiately after waking, so she went to the kitchen. When she arrived, she found so ingredients laid out in front of Wu Tian.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
"Can’t you tell?" Wu Tian chuckled. "Mushroom and beef congee."
With that, Wu Tian picked up a kitchen knife. In the next mont, the blade fell.
Xia Yung saw only a flash of silver. For a mont, it seed like nothing had happened. The beef in front of Wu Tian looked completely unchanged.
But Wu Tian’s movents didn’t stop. He no longer looked like a chef but rather a conductor leading an orchestra. His right hand rose and fell rhythmically, the silver gleam of the blade flashing in and out of sight.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Xia Yung asked, dumbfounded.
"Just watch," Wu Tian said, his knife a continuous blur of motion.
Looking closer, Xia Yung realized the seemingly intact beef had already been cut. The incisions were so fine they were practically invisible. Moreover, every single piece of beef was the exact sa size.
"This..." After this discovery, Xia Yung found it impossible to look away.
My god, is this the kind of knife work they show in gourt ani? How can soone’s skill be this incredible? To her, Wu Tian looked less like he was cutting at and more like an artist at work.
"Xia Yung, three bell peppers."
"Uh..." Xia Yung finally snapped back to reality. "Okay."
"Two mushrooms!"
"Okay."
"Half a chicken breast."
"Okay."
Without realizing it, Xia Yung found herself following his orders. Before long, the mushroom and beef congee was ready. She had watched the entire process, and seeing the finished dish filled her with delight.
I really want to try it.
"Want so?" Wu Tian asked, turning to look at Xia Yung.
She nodded eagerly. The re aroma of the congee was intoxicating.
"Mm-hmm."
"Then have so," Wu Tian said with a smile. Back in the Immortal Emperor Realm, he had spent so ti as a chef. As far as cooking was concerned, Wu Tian figured his skills were at least on par with a Five-Star chef’s.
In a pristine white bowl, neatly cut pieces of beef and mushroom swam in the congee. The rice itself was cooked to translucent perfection, boasting a beautiful color and a rich fragrance. A single glance was enough to make one’s appetite soar.
Hearing Wu Tian’s permission, Xia Yung couldn’t resist any longer and imdiately took a taste. Her ladylike sips quickly turned into voracious gulps, and in a matter of monts, the bowl of congee was empty.
"It’s so delicious!" Xia Yung’s eyes sparkled. "How can it be this good?"
"What’s delicious? Are you talking about the congee I made?" Qin Zhengyang had returned and entered the kitchen.
"No, I ant Wu... no, Brother-in-law! The congee Brother-in-law made is amazing!"
A single bowl of congee was all it took for Xia Yung to acknowledge Wu Tian as her brother-in-law.
"What?" Qin Zhengyang couldn’t believe it and felt a surge of annoyance. He also loved making congee, but in all these years, he had never once heard Xia Yung call it ’delicious’.
"It’s true! Try it if you don’t believe ," Xia Yung said.
Qin Zhengyang nodded and ladled so congee into a bowl for himself. He took his first sip. The mont the broth, translucent rice grains, and tender beef chunks entered his mouth, an incredibly rich flavor exploded on his palate.
Incredible! This is absolutely incredible!
Qin Zhengyang had been to countless restaurants and tasted nurous delicacies, but he never imagined that this simple congee would redefine his understanding of what true deliciousness was.
"So, do you believe
now?" Xia Yung asked.
Qin Zhengyang simply nodded, hurriedly getting himself a second bowl.
" too!" Xia Yung scrambled to get more as well.
"I want so! I want so! I want so!"
Attracted by the aroma, the little one crawled over. Seeing her, Wu Tian quickly picked her up.
"Okay, Daddy will get you so, alright?"
"Okay." The little one nodded, her big, adorable eyes wide with anticipation.
"What are you all doing?" Qin Yuhan had co downstairs, puzzled to find the entire family gathered in the kitchen.
"Sister, Brother-in-law’s congee is amazing!" Xia Yung said imdiately.
Brother-in-law? Has my own sister betrayed
now, too? Qin Yuhan scoffed inwardly. She chuckled aloud, "You don’t have a brother-in-law."
"But Yuhan," Qin Zhengyang couldn’t help but say, "Tian’s congee truly is a delicacy of the Mortal Realm."
Qin Yuhan was speechless. "Dad, aren’t you exaggerating? You’ve eaten plenty of good food over the years. It’s just a simple bowl of congee..."
Before Qin Yuhan could finish, Wu Tian, who was about to give the little one a spoonful, changed direction and deftly put it in Qin Yuhan’s mouth instead.
"Mmph!" Qin Yuhan couldn’t react in ti as a mouthful of congee was slipped past her lips.
The spoonful contained a piece of beef and a small slice of mushroom. The mont it touched her tongue, the flavor washed over her like a delicious broth, causing her beautiful eyes to fly wide open.
"Delicious!" escaped her lips before she could stop it.
The sensation was cool, refreshing, and subli, like taking a dip in a swimming pool on a hot sumr day.
This feels... blissful. The thought ca to her unexpectedly.
"How is it?" Wu Tian asked with a smile.
"It’s..." Qin Yuhan could only manage, "It’s alright, I guess."
"Just alright?" Wu Tian chuckled.
Qin Yuhan turned her head away and fell silent. She knew she wasn’t being honest. While she had tasted many delicacies in her life, she had never had congee this good. She was just too proud to admit it.
Qin Zhengyang, however, was becoming more and more impressed with his son-in-law. If even his cooking skills were this remarkable, what else was Wu Tian capable of? He couldn’t wait to find out.
Wanting to help Wu Tian, Qin Zhengyang turned to Xia Yung. "Since your sister doesn’t like it, why don’t we finish the rest of the pot?"
"Okay!" Xia Yung said, nodding as she caught his aning.
