570 Going Home to Cook
Qin Xi stayed in the capital for the night before returning home at noon the next day.
When Mrs. Qin saw Qin Xi, she was slightly surprised. “Aren’t you at your classmate’s house? Why are you back?”
She took Qin Xi’s backpack and asked with concern, “Have you eaten? I’ll make you some food now.”
Qin Xi quickly pulled her back and held her arm coquettishly. “Mom, I’m not hungry yet. Let’s eat when Dad comes back.”
She smiled mysteriously. “Also, Mom, I’ll cook today. I’ve never cooked for you and Dad in my life. Today, you are in for a good treat.”
“You?” Mrs. Qin clearly didn’t believe her.
Qin Xi said proudly, “Mom, don’t underestimate me. I learned a lot of recipes on the Internet. They’re all very simple but practical. I guarantee that they’re much better than the ones sold outside.”
Mrs. Qin was certain that Xi had never been to the kitchen. Qin Xi had always been a little princess who did not know how to cook. Now that Qin Xi said that she wanted to make dinner for her and her husband, although she was touched, she was still afraid that Qin Xi would cut her hand or burn it.
However, she did not want to discourage her daughter.
Qin Xi pushed Mrs. Qin out of the kitchen with a smile and patted her chest.
“Mom, don’t worry. If there is anything I don’t know, I’ll ask you, okay?”
Mrs. Qin hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she gave in. “You’re still as naughty as ever.”
Qin Xi chuckled. “Mom, just wait and see. I’ll definitely make a table full of dishes that will impress you.”
“Alright, then be careful. The kitchen knife is sharp. Don’t cut your hand. By the way, do you know how to use the stove? Do you want me to teach you now?”
Although Mrs. Qin said that she agreed, she couldn’t help but feel worried.
As Qin Xi walked towards the kitchen, she said, “Don’t worry, I know how to use the stove. Go and rest. Leave this to me!”
Mrs. Qin shook her head helplessly and sat on the sofa in the living room. She turned on the television and looked at the kitchen from time to time. She turned the volume to the lowest so that she could hear the sounds in the kitchen.
As soon as Qin Xi entered the kitchen, she took a deep breath. In her previous life, although she had never entered the kitchen, after marrying Han Shi, she had learned a lot of dishes from Luo Xiujuan.
It was not that Luo Xiujuan asked her to cook. She just felt that a woman should learn how to cook, not to serve anyone, but to cook a meal for her parents or husband and children at the right time to express her love for them.
Now, what she learned came in handy.
After the ingredients were prepared, she started to heat up the pan. Not long after, a fragrance wafted out of the kitchen.
Mrs. Qin was a little surprised. She quickly stood up and walked to the kitchen, wanting to see what was going on in the kitchen through the crack. Just as she was about to touch the door, she heard Qin Xi’s voice from inside. “Mom, I know you’re at the door. You’re not allowed to peek.”
Mrs. Qin retracted her hand in embarrassment and went back to sit on the sofa as if nothing had happened. She picked up the remote control and searched for the channel she wanted to watch.
