Chapter 68: Culinary Skills
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
If Zhao Youyue was just an ordinary secondary school girl, there would not be such a pleasant chat between Su Li and her.
eting up with Su Li was quite a delightful mont for Zhao Youyue. It was probably because her very soul had assimilated the mories from another world, inspiring a precocious girl like her to be even more matured now. To Youyue, communicating with sa-age people was just as getting along with children, whilst a conversation with soone in the society like Su Li was way more aningful.
Zhao Youyue had always remained calm and collected in the face of everything. Failing to get in touch with Rosemary depressed her for but a short while. Without dwelling further on it, she decided to let nature took its course. Never had she thought that Su Li would offer help to request a cao character for her. That was a little surprise, wasn’t it?
Anyhow, she did not really matter if Su Li could help her to obtain a cao now. She had co to realization — instead of imrsing oneself in aningless anxiety which is a waste of ti, why not spending the ti to learn more things in this world? As such, without the character card, she could also rely on her will of learning to master more knowledge and skills.
People should learn to be content. To Zhao Youyue, it was already an everlasting fortune to acquire the iconic character card of Xu Jing. She would not allow herself to lose her peace of mind and thirst for more character cards. At worst, just wait until the end of “The Strongest King” and then shift into another literary world. She could do that, couldn’t she?
Previously, Zhao Youyue was on pins and needles. She believed that opportunity knocks only once, and she would be sorry for herself if she did not accomplish sothing. Looking back, she felt that she had been drunk and lost her mind.
After deliberating over everything, and assuming she had no “Dinsional Gate”, she continued to indulge in her violin practice while utilizing Xu Jing iconic character card. Perhaps she had put on a ponytail like “Xu Jing”, thus her actions were even more in sync with “Xu Jing” now. In any case, her learning efficiency had increased, and she could be more focus in studying, not to ntion that she could easily remain peaceful while activating “Xu Jing’s possession” mode.
Tomorrow was their day of returning to hotown, the “Mahjong Town”. It was also the ti in which the three of them could enjoy a family dinner.
On regular days, Zhao Youyue’s father was always caught in dinner engagent thus he rarely ate at ho, anwhile her mother was used to take her dinner in university. Hence, Zhao Youyue would often take care of her own dinner too, after all she had abundant pocket money. Almost all the famous cafes, Chinese restaurants and Western restaurants in town had been visited by her. She absolutely deserved the title of chowhound! So restaurants had fallen into her blacklist, while so had beco her favorites. She even got to know the bosses and had her own VIP seats, as she was a true VIP.
That being said, Zhao Youyue had been buying and cooking her own dishes through the power of Xu Jing iconic character card. Very much surprised, Xu Jing’s culinary skills were spectacular, and her dishes miraculously had a sweet taste of ho...
Sotis she liked to contemplate shifting into gourt works like “Chūka Ichiban!”, “Food Wars: Shokugeki no Soma”, and “The Supplier of Culinary Delicacy”. As such, would she acquire even greater culinary skills? But then, things gonna be peculiar, as she would be preparing so extravagant cuisine which looked colorful and shiny, yet was able to cause the tasters to be so addicted, as if they were aroused, beaten until their shirts being torn, or taking drugs. Hmm, was it even possible for such effects to take place in reality? If so, that would be amusing and make her stand out from everyone.
Compared herself to Xu Jing, Zhao Youyue acknowledged that she could not hold a candle to her. Not only Xu Jing was diligent and passionate, she was a filial daughter too, unlike Youyue who had never thought of cooking a al for parents. With her family background, she needed not express her love by this way. Anyway, she could feel that her parents still loved her more than she loved them. She was pampered by them and used to their mollycoddle since her childhood. Because she was the one and only daughter! Rarely would she have the notion to repay her parents’ love, as she thought that her parents were already living a happy and blissful life, and so they could not be anymore happier regardless of what she did.
After undergoing Xu Jing’s life however, she started to introspect her past behaviours. Perhaps she should try doing sothing for them to the best of her abilities.
Therefore, Zhao Youyue volunteered to prepare a ho-cooked dinner for her parents tonight.
At that ti, Zhao Jiayi was about to call for food delivery. For sure, the food ordered by Mr. Zhao, the hospital director was not those random fast food purchased via “ituan” or “Ele.”[1]. Instead, he would directly call the owner of so legacy private dining restaurant, demanding so dishes that were specially cooked by the chef to be delivered to their house. A private dining restaurant generally does not provide food delivery service. But the mighty hospital director could make it happened solely by one of his phone calls.
Professor Wang definitely had no objection. She could not cook, even she could, she would be lazy. “What? I’ve to do dishwashing after the al? That’s troubleso!”
This family was one of a kind indeed. None of them was able to cook, but they have been living well for so many years, without feeling anything wrong.
How great it is to be rich!
Therefore, when Zhao Youyue offered to cook for her parents, Zhao Jiayi and Wang Hua were so astonished!
Zhao Jiayi put down his phone right away. An incredulous look had shown on the face of this handso middle-aged man, who then chuckled, “Are you kidding Youyue? Do you cook?”
Wang Hua also put down the redology literature about “Dream of the Red Chamber” in her hand. She sniggered and teased her like always, “Oh our little sloth, if you can cook, I’ll eat this book!”
Being arrogant since her childhood, Wang Hua was a beautiful and versatile elite scholar. She had barely done any housework in her life, would she believe her own daughter could make dishes? If she had no culinary skills, could her daughter possibly have them?
This little sloth, is she trying to show off?
How could she possess the skill that is not even found in her most perfect mother in the world?
Impossible!
Zhao Youyue was expressionless. Not sure whether when she started holding a music sheet. She responded coldly while morizing the music sheet, “But I’ve bought the ingredients.”
Zhao Jiayi was stealthily laughing at the side. He pretty much enjoyed seeing the daily bickering of this pair of mother and daughter. Prior to this, Zhao Youyue was always defeated by Wang Hua but this ti, he perceived a different Zhao Youyue. The situation was almost a battle between two elite scholars. Was it a re illusion?
To her disbelief, Wang Hua rose to her feet and walked towards the kitchen, just to discover that her daughter Zhao Youyue had prepared the ingredients. As for the vegetables, there were already capsicums, brinjals, carrots, tomatoes, potatoes, etc. All sort of hearty food materials!
Not to ntion that the rice was already being cooked in the rice cooker...
What kind of situation is this?
Translation Note:
